Five States of Change was commissioned by Kunstfactor for the 4th section of the Dutch National Brass Band Championships (NBK) 2011. It is dedicated to Jappie Dijkstra and the Music Information Centre (MUI) Arnhem Holland in acknowledgement of their outstanding work in developing band repertoire.The composer writes: The idea for the piece came when I was reading an article about a branch of Chinese philosophy which is abbreviated as Wu Xing* which has no exact translation but can mean for example five elements five phases or five states of change . It is central to all elements of Chinese thought including science philosophy medicine andastrology and in simple terms tries to create various cyclic relationships between five elements in all walks of life.An example is: Earth - Metal - Water - Wood - Fire - (Earth) etc. where (in one cycle) earth bears metal metal changes to liquid (water) when heated water helps trees grow wood burns to create fire fire produces ash (earth) and the cycle continues.I was particularly interested in the cycle of emotions:- Meditation - Sorrow - Fear - Anger - Joy - (Meditation) etc. and thought this cyclic principle would provide an effective emotional journey for a piece of music. So Five States of Change has five equal sections which loosely characterise this emotional cycle. I have tried to make the music grow organically with minimal repetition and each movement evolves from the musical elements at the end of the previous one with the opening material appearing transformed at the end of the piece to complete the cycle. *in full Wu zhong liu xing zhi chi or the five types of chi dominating at different times

Es löscht das Meer die Sonne aus-C’est à Venise que naquirent les barcarolles chants des gondoliers au rythme toujours ternaire (6/8 9/8 ou 12/8) qui suggère par la répétition constante d'un même rythme de basse le balancement régulier des embarcations sur la lagune. La mélodie du chant Schifferlied (Chant du batelier) de Friedrich Silcher (1789-1860) dérive non pas d’une barcarolle vénitienne mais d’une barcarolle de Provence.Après avoir arrangé la barcarolle provençale Friedrich Silcher écrit un texte et publie le chant sous le titre Es löscht das Meer die Sonne aus (premier vers du texte) dans un recueil d’airs et de chants traditionnels. Schifferlied développe une ligne simple fluide et limpide à l’instar des mélodies viennoises. L’arrangement pour Orchestre d’Harmonie est fidèle à cette approche. Il peut être accompagné par un Chœur d’Hommes (TB - texte en langue allemande -Set vendu séparément - DHP 1094593-050).

The Broken Sword is one of the five ceremonial swords kept in the Tower of London and is used during the coronation of a new king or queen. Legend has it that an angel broke off the tip of the sword in an effort to prevent an unjust killing. Composer Kevin Houben lets his music retell this intriguing legend. Broken Sword resembles a film score in many ways and will paint vivid images as the band plays its way through the legend. Many different moods create a contrast-rich work that makes for an exciting listening and playing experience every time!

For more than three decades the ‘Sassmannshaus Tradition’ has been the household name for excellence in beginner string methods in German-speaking countries. More than half a million students have successfully learned to play string instruments using this publication. The publication of the four Violin books in 2008 in a fully adapted English version has been a big success. On the back of this success story Bärenreiter has now published the four books for Cello in a newly adapted version for today’s English speaking children. What makes this Cello method so unique? - The leading German Cello method now available in English. - Large print notes andtexts as well as many colourful illustrations are ideal for pre-school as well as school children. - Note reading is emphasised from the first lesson encouraging ensemble playing from the very beginning. - Songs and scales in different positions are easily mastered within the first year of playing to ensure that children are not confined to first position playing. - Advanced Cello techniques such as varied bow strokes and shifting are introduced in a basic form.

Sinofinia dall'opera- The Barber of Seville is based on the first of Beaumarchais‘ (1732- 1799) two sequential plays The Marriage of Figaro being the second although unusually the overture does not contain any themes from the ensuing opera. The music however is sparkling and tuneful encompassing the ‘spirit‘ of the story that is about to unfold. The overture follows the form of the classic Italian style with a slow introduction followed by a brilliant Allegro. Of course the famous crescendo so typical of Rossini’s works is also present.

New Signature allows us to introduce Dominiek van Nuffelen to you.

Influences from light music together with elements from rock music have been interwoven in the piece.

Coronation Anthem 1- Zadok The Priest is a Coronation Anthem for King George II and has subsequently been heard at every coronation of the British Crown during the sovereign's anointing. The opening choral entry of Zadok The Priest is one of the most striking moments in the choral repertory and typical of Handel's grand rousing works.

Includes original version of the Sinfonia BWV 1046a. Authoritative Urtext edition of Johann Sebastian Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No.1 in F major BWV 1046. The six Brandenburg Concertos BWV 1046-1051 prized jewels of the world's musical heritage were written in 1721 during Bach's appointment in Cothen. Of the six works Bach originally wrote earlier versions of numbers 1 and 5 which differ not only with regard to articulation but also at times different tones different rhythms instrumentation and of course form. These Urtext publications [BA 5201-BA 5206] taken from the New Bach Editionnow give performers the possibility to play these earlier versions perhaps even along side the version known today. In the earlier version of Concerto No.1 (BWV 1046a) which according to the editor of the edition Heinrich Besseler seems to have been Bach's favorite among the six there is no violino piccolo part to be found and the violin concerto-like 3rd movement as well as the Polonaise movement are also absent. In nearly every bar the articulation in one instrument or another differs from the later version; for example the 16th-note slurs in bars 1 and 2 of the horns are missing in the later score the oboe slurs and trills in m.12 are also not to be found. The later version has the cello seperated from the continuo which means that the 16ths in m.7 are not to be played by the Violone grosso.

A well-crafted choral work incorporating Bach's famous 'Air' from orchestral Suite in D the best loved carol 'Still Still Still ' and just a touch of 'O Holy Night.' A simple adaptation of Bach's keyboard harmonies is used throughout as the piano accompaniment. Sensitive and enchating. New text by the arranger. Could become a holiday classic!

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 (No.9) which came down to the publisher 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 used publication ofthe 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. Full scores study scores and complete performance material to Beethoven ’s Nine Symphonies are available for sale.
