15 duets for beginner trombonists My original idea for the BIG BAD WOLF series was to offer teachers and students the opportunity to play duets. The accompanying backing tracks fill out the ensemble in a motivating enjoyable way whilst teaching students the discipline of rhythmic and harmonic structure. The two trombone parts are usually played subtly in the backing track just for reference and support. There are both treble and bass clef versions included here. Vol. 1 is for the beginning trombone player and although the level of difficulty increases from the beginning to the end of the book the student parts still more or less follow the ABRSM and Trinity College guidelines for Grades 1 & 2.

3 Greek Tunes for flute choir. Lively and exciting. The Greek suite is a combination of three different traditional pieces from Greece (Lemonaki Milo mu kokkino and Ksekina mia psaropula). They derive from various places both islands and mainland cities. Unlike a traditional suite the three tunes flow seamlessly into each other. The first and the last melodies are the most varied as they come from different areas whereas the middle tune (the most popular in Greece) unites the suite in a loving atmosphere. There are many rhythmical changes full of greek musical elements and syncopations.

In ancient times language and music were already regarded as an inseparable unit. Homer’s epic poems for example were sung and in the highly developed art of rhetoric words were used to communicate reason while music spoke to the soul. Since Monteverdi’s time musical delineation of text has become even more important: rhetoric terms such as “exclamatio” “saltus duriusculus” and “climax” were applied to music in order to render the emotional content of the text in even more expressive ways. Szathmàry used this compositional method as a model when he drafted his work for violin “Rhetorica”. He wrote about this work: “My aim was to instill a “speaking quality”into even the tiniest musical elements in order to allow for the music to become a powerful narration of the moments experienced in a human life with all its highs and lows – entirely without the use of words.”
