Chant Funeraire

The Choral Collection Psalms contains over 50 settings for mixed unaccompanied choir from six centuries. It is a true treasure-trove of compositions in various styles and levels of difficulty: with some unknown new discoveries and some classics of the choral literature the selection will enrich both worship and concerts. The 150 psalms of the Old Testament express rejoicing joy and confidence but also lament grief anger and even doubt. The psalms are present throughout Christianity and Judaism to this day and are sung worldwide in countless settings. The Choral Collection Psalms displays the whole stylistic and linguistic variety ranging from contemplative simpleAnglican chant through Russian Orthodox homophony to virtuoso motets with jazzy echoes. The linguistic spectrum is equally broad: English French German (some with added singable English translation) Estonian Icelandic and of course Latin psalm settings are represented as well as works in Church Slavonic and Hebrew (both accompanied by transliterations and a singable German text). The foreword (German/English) offers many hints regarding the performance of the psalm settings and a detailed index will help with choosing appropriate pieces for the liturgical occasion according to the Anglican Protestant or Catholic calendar. Over the last ten years editor Stefan Schuck has performed two psalm compositions every week in his NoonSong series in Berlin. From the resulting 800 works he has selected the most interesting compositions arranged according to level of difficulty. The choral director’s volume includes a CD with recordings of selected works sung by sirventes and conducted by the editor which will help with learning and rehearsing the repertoire.

This familiar favorite from Sylvia by Léo Delibes will be lots of fun to perform as the melody bounces back and fourth between the first alto and tenor saxophone. This grade 2+ work is arranged for AATB saxophone quartet. Duration 1:50.

This flexible grade 3 collection contains five well-known classical and traditional pieces that can be played by any combination of 3 brass instruments (Tuba may only play the 3rd line).

Trombone City

Allant Son Chemin

3 keys in one (Voces8)-‘With distinguish’d glory shine to add a lustre to this day’. In 1713 Handel set this joyful text an Ode to Queen Anne to one of his most exquisite melodies. A tender work of extraordinary grace ‘Eternal Source of Light Divine’ is music befitting a royal celebration and was memorably sung at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. This new edition for voice and piano with optional trumpet part (in B-flat and C) contains three keys (high medium and low voice).

Iwan Knorr’s Ukrainian Love Songs Op. 5 for four voices and piano have the same flexible choral or one-per-part scoring as the Liebeslieder Waltzes Op. 65 by Johannes Brahms to which they compare also in terms of compositional quality. Inspired by the Ukrainian Cossack tradition Knorr’s cycle of nine settings combines lyrically romantic vocal writing with spirited virtuoso piano accompaniments. The poems tell stories of impassioned love heroic warriors and the anxious wait for their safe return. Iwan Knorr (1853–1916) was a composer and music teacher. Born in West Prussia he grew up in Russia Riga and Leipzig and studied at the Leipzig Conservatoire. While workingas a teacher in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv he established contact with Johannes Brahms who became his mentor and advocate. Later Knorr was a colleague of Clara Schumann on the staff of the Hoch Conservatoire in Frankfurt.

This children’s album by renowned Czech composer-guitarist Lukáš Sommer reflects the latest trends in playing and teaching the Guitar. It is suitable for the first three years of lessons. Some of the pieces have even been performed by children and young Guitar students at competitions and concerts in Europe. Each of these little programme pieces is written in a different style with brief explanations of its technical features. Several are composed in an open-ended form that allows players to define the rhythm or to add an accompaniment on open bass strings. In this way the author grants leeway to the learners’ creativity and stimulates their musicalimagination. The pieces are easy to play and the edition comes with attractive illustrations.

Non standaard harmony trio. The conservative explanation for this piece was a simple desire to exploit repeated notes in a brass trio. An underlying ABA form can be discerned after which there is a “bridge” in 5/8. Subsequently the music returns to the opening motifs. Hence Over The Bridge And Back. The more amusing explanation was provided by my spouse who upon hearing the music remarked that she could picture whales parading down the avenue. And so the sub-title was born.

Charming suite of character pieces for the developing player. Tonal and melodic. I learnt the trumpet for several years until the age of 12 when for various reasons I switched to the French horn. But I always missed the trumpet an instrument to which I think I was better suited. Writing this Little Suite brought back fond memories of my brief youthful career as a trumpeter! These seven pieces are great teaching resources but also stand well on the concert platform. They range through various styles from jazz waltz to military march and explore a basic range of keys rhythms and moods. Ideal for developing players.

A full and faithful arrangement of the evergreen classic concerto. Mozart wrote this concerto in 1791 for the clarinettist Anton Stadler and it has since gone on to become the best known concerto for the instrument. There is some debate as to which type of clarinet Mozart intended to be used as Stadler was also a virtuoso basset horn player. He also experimented with extending the range of the instrument down to written low C. Unfortunately the original manuscript is now lost and various attempts have been made to discern the original format of the piece. This version has been scored for solo clarinet in Bb 2 clarinets in Bb alto clarinet in Eb (or clarinet 3 in Bb) and bass clarinet in Bb. The solo part is unchanged from theurtext. All phrasing and dynamics are editorial and may be altered as desired. Apart from this this is a full and faithful arrangement of the entire concerto with the aim of introducing players to an ensemble situation before launching into the full orchestral version.

Spirituals For Today

With his ninth symphony Beethoven ventured into new musical dimensions. In the final movement soloists and choir join forces with the orchestra and Schiller’s “Ode to Joy” becomes a global aspiration a declaration: “Alle Menschen werden Brüder ! / All mankind becomes brothers.” In his commentary the great Beethoven scholar Lewis Lockwood describes the plea which Beethoven wanted to deliver at that time with this work and how views of this have changed over the centuries. Jonathan Del Mar a renowned editor of Beethoven’s works comments on noteworthy passages in the autograph manuscript and allows the reader to share in the composer’s working process. br>Already thelarge-format paper which Beethoven used for some passages makes the large forces clear. Cuts sometimes reversed later show how he wrestled with the final version of the musical text and refined it right down to the last detail. The history of the autograph manuscript reflects an episode in German history: after storage in various places because of the war the major parts were returned to Berlin but were initially divided by the Berlin Wall and only reunited in 1990. Martina Rebmann who is the Director of the Music Department at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin traces this story. In 1972 the main theme of the last movement was chosen by the Council of Europe as the European anthem and in 1985 it was adopted by the European Community as its official anthem. In 2001 the manuscript was listed in UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register. For the first time the facsimile presents all the parts of the manuscript including pages preserved in Bonn and Paris as well as the trombone and contrabassoon parts. The first edition (2010) was awarded with the German Music Edition Prize “Best Edition” 2011. With his ninth symphony Beethoven ventured into new musical dimensions.
