from the film On the Waterfront- Full score to this piece from the film On the Waterfront for brass instruments percussion and piano. Transcription by Frank Erickson.

‘Toccata Festiva’ was commissioned in 1994 by the Dutch Brass Band Championships. The wind band version was made a year later by the composer himself. Historically speaking the toccata is considered to be one of the first independent instrumental forms for keyboard instruments. Originally the toccata was typically more or less improvised later this musical form was given a more regulated structure. Both elements are used in the ‘Toccata Festiva’: on the one hand the different themes are developed freely on the other the piece has an orderly structure. It is in a three part form (quick-slow-quick) and includes both strong rhythmical figures and broad melodic lines. Partof the composition is written in a more or less archaic tone idiom referring to the period from which the toccata form originates (16th century).

Sound Variations is a work comprising of eight short sections each based on a simple theme each characterised by a great variety of styles and sounds. It opens with a fanfare-like introduction that soon leads into the presentation of the main theme followed by five variations on this theme. Each of these variations has its own style: Swing Latin Waltz March and Rock. After a final repeat of the main theme the work comes to an end with a brilliant finale.

Blazon est une œuvre de commande pour l’Orchestre d’Harmonie de Niederbrechen en Allemagne. Elle fut offerte comme cadeau d’adieu à Michael Steiner le directeur musical qui quittait la formation en 2009 après onze années passées à sa tête. Sous son impulsion les musiciens ont accompli d’immenses progrès. Lui dédier une pièce en guise de remerciement s’imposait comme une évidence. La création de l’œuvre a eu lieu le 17 mai 2009. L’orchestre était dirigé pour la dernière fois par son chef. Blazon permet d’exploiter le talent des cuivres et des percussions. La pièce s’ouvre avec une grande fanfare pleine d’énergie qui chemine à travers les pupitresdes trompettes des cors et des cuivres graves. Un changement de tonalité fait apparaître un thème en legato joué d’abord par les bois puis repris par l’orchestre en entier. La fanfare initiale revient soulignée par des motifs ornementés dans les bois pour mener l’œuvre vers sa fin brillante.

Standard choral work with a manageable reduced orchestration. A stylistically appropriate as well as tried and tested arrangement. Compatible with Vocal score H 2924-90. Dvo ák ’s Requiem for soloists choir and orchestra is one of the highlights within the international choral repertoire. Now Bärenreiter is presenting this work in an arrangement by Joachim Linckelmann with chamber Orchestra based on the full score from the Complete Edition of the Works by Antonín Dvo ák . The arrangement dispenses with all the brass instruments except for a single Horn; all that remains of the Percussion arethe Timpani; the Organ has also been taken out. The cor anglais and Bass Clarinet parts can be replaced by an Oboe and Clarinet (ossia staves in score and parts). This arrangement which judiciously reduces the richness of Dvo ák ’s original orchestration makes the work available to a broader range of performers outside professional circles.

Beethoven's famous concerto for Violin and Orchestra has appeared in many editions over the last 150 years but none has truly done justice to the work. Now the acclaimed Beethoven scholar Jonathan Del Mar has achieved just that. Working with all known sources Del Mar finally presents us with Beethoven's intended solo Violin articulation dynamics and slurring; there are even note corrections in the solo part. Additions made by various editors and violin players over the years have been deleted. For the first time we also now have clarity regarding the meaning of Beethoven's Solo and Tutti markings. All in all a groundbreaking scholarly-critical edition;a must have for every violin player orchestra and music library.

With final chorus 'An die Freude' (Ode to Joy) Between 1996 and 2000 Bärenreiter published scholarly-critical editions of Beethoven's Nine Symphonies edited by the first class musicologist Jonathan Del Mar. The editorial process was a huge undertaking because of the complex source situation regarding Beethoven's Symphonies culminating in the Choral Symphony which came down to us in nearly 20 different sources. So it was not surprising that Bärenreiter's new Urtext edition caused a considerable stir in the music world. Since publication Del Mar's edition enjoys the unabashed praise of conductors performers and critics alike and has become the most widely usedpublication of the Beethoven Symphonies which can be heard not only every day in concert halls but also on CD recordings by John Eliot Gardiner David Zinman Jos van Immerseel and Claudio Abbado.

Le Sacre du Printemps- Stravinsky's The Rite Of Spring is regarded as one of the finest and most progressive examples of orchestration ever composed. The ballet caused riotous objections when first performed with cluster harmonies that heralded the end of the dominance of diatonic tonalities and the beginnings of an avant-garde approach that would consume postmodern composition. The orchestral writing following in the footsteps of innovators including Richard Strauss and Claude Debussy is remarkable in its depth and colour coaxing previously unheard sounds and instrumental combinations. One of the most distinctive achievements of 20th century composition presented here in fullorchestral score.
