Vivaldi's 12 concertos were first published in 1711 by Roger in Amsterdam. These 8 elegant part books helped to establish Vivaldi's reputation throughout Europe and provided the rules from which such writers as Quantz Marcello and Mattheson judged and advised other composers. Much imitated the concertos continued to influence the works of later composers and indeed J. S. Bach.

for Euphonium and Band- The Legend of Spirit Island was commissioned by the Twin Ports Wind Orchestra Duluth Minnesota (Mark Whitlock conductor) to honour the euphonium player Dick Carlson. The piece takes its title from a local legend about Spirit Island which lies in a gap of the St. Louis River called Spirit Lake. The legend tells the story of Chaska the son of a Dakota Chief and Wetona the daughter of Ojibwe Chief Buckado. He was handsome and she was beautiful; it wasn’t long before they fell in love. This is a challenging euphonium solo in which the versatile soloist can explore very expressive melodic sequences as well as energetic technical sections.

A lot is known about the American composer Leroy Anderson. This son of Swedish immigrants played the piano organ accordion trombone tuba and double bass. He spoke several languages fluently and graduated from Harvard with first-class honours.While on military service the army also commissioned him to write a manual on Icelandic grammar.He already started writing musical arrangements as a student and from his 30th year arranged and composed for the Boston Pops Orchestra. Such melodiesas Serenata The Typewriter Sleigh Ride and Bugler�s Holiday made him world famous. His best-known work Blue Tango reached number one in the US charts in 1952 and it sold more than a million copies. In 1975 a year after hisdeath he was given a star at the Walk of Fame in Hollywood.Most of his works last no longer than three minutes about the maximum length of a single at that time. One work that lasts longer is his 1953 Piano Concerto in C for piano and orchestra.The first performance was in Chicago conducted by the composer and with Eugene List at the piano. However after three performances he was no longer happy with the work and withdrew it. He always intended to revise it but never got round to it. Itwas only in 1989 that the Anderson family decided to republish the work.This three-part composition is on the one hand characterised by a careless elegance but on the other one can hear the influence of Rachmaninoff Copland Gershwin and evenBeethoven and Mozart as well as the Viennese classics.Anderson used the sonata form for the first movement. It ends with a cadenza that carries us on into the second part (in e minor). The third part is a typically cheerful American folk dance in2/4 time a so-called Hoe Down with a lilting lyrical passage as its middle section. At the end comes a solo passage followed by a rapid close.In this piano concerto Anderson combines a rigidly classical form of composition with simple andappealing themes and elements from light music. So this work is a perfect synthesis of light music and what is called serious music in the same way as Gershwin�s Rhapsody in Blue. A work that can be played equally well in a concerthall at an open-air concert or even a pop concert.

With numerous corrections. Piano reduction with a separate solo Piano part. The autograph to Beethoven ’s Piano Concerto No. 4 is lost. For every new edition which has appeared during the course of time there have been only two authentic sources to draw upon; the copyist’s manuscript of the score with Beethoven ’s own corrections and the first edition in parts from 1808 which was published in Vienna and which contains a few revisions dated after the aforementioned manuscript. Though no new sources have been available for this new edition numerous editorial emendations which have prevailed in all previous editions (evenUrtext editions) have now been corrected. Thus this new Bärenreiter Urtext edition presents Beethoven ’s famous work in the clarity which it deserves.

Motet for two four-part mixed choirs- Furchte dich nicht ich bin bei dir for two four-part mixed choirs A major BWV 228 All of Bach's six authenticated motets were written between 1723 and 1727 for St Thomas' Church Leipzig where Bach was appointed as director of music in 1723. During this period Bach composed most of his cantatas and it seems likely that for ordinary Sunday services he used existing motets from the seventeenth century tradition reserving his own motet compositions for special occasions. - Urtext of the New Bach Edition. - Performance material and choral score (BA5133) available for sale. -Complete edition of the 6 Motets vocal score with piano reduction (BA5193-90) choral score (BA5193)

The first movement of this work an Allegretto begins with a fanfare-like opening. After a number of other melody lines a reprise of the beginning follows which ends in a cadenza for the soloist. Movement two titled Rituel is characterized by interplay between the soloist and the band within a stately melody. In the final movement the theme of the first movement’s opening returns. As the indication ‘alla marcia’ of the last movement suggests this Allegro Giocoso contains march-like music that guarantees a lively conclusion.With Concertino Kees Schoonenbeek has written an appealing work that is very suitable for a beginner soloist. It is also available for trumpet andpiano.

St Mark Passion (BWV 247): A reconstruction. Recitatives and turbae by Reinhard Keiser (1674-1739). Although all that survives of Bach's “St. Mark Passion” is Picander's libretto virtually all the arias and choruses can be reconstructed from “parody” versions. The original recitatives and turbae however are probably lost forever. Rather than rewriting these numbers “in Bachs's style” the editor Austin Harvey Gomme has added passages from Reinhard Keiser's setting of the Passion (a setting highly esteemed by Bach who performed it several times) thereby allowing this lost work to be performed in its entirety. A detailed preface sheds further light on thisunique reconstruction based on the New Bach Edition. Full score (BA5209) and vocal score (BA5209-90) available for sale. Performance material (BA5209-72) available for hire.
