Selected Songs chosen by Francois Le Roux- Widely acclaimed by music lovers for over a century Selected Songs of Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) are here collected into an anthology complete with an audio version in the form of a download card. Excerpted from the 1st collection published in 1879 Au bord de l'eau and Ici bas bestow an aura of internal reverie on Sully Prudhomme's simple poems made palp­able by the harmonic refinement and vocal fluidity that constitutes the very essence of Faurean charm. Several vocal pages selected in the 2nd volume (1897) continue to be favourites: Les Rosesd'Ispahan restored to their dreamy stillness Les Berceaux whose oscillation evokes the swaying of boats and the very nostalgic Clair de lune in which Verlaine's words set to music for the first time inspired Fauré to write what would become one of his masterpieces: La Bonne Chanson . From this cycle drunk on lovelorn lyricism the collection retains Puisque l'aube grandit an exalted melody if there ever was one and La lune blanche luit dans les bois a nocturnal landscape in F sharp major - two pearls that distil the same mystery of solace.

Musique de scène- An enchanted dream - these words from poet Charles Van Leberghe give an idea of the public's enthusiasm for the first English language performance on June 21 1898 of Maurice Maeterlinck's symbolist play. Staged at the Prince of Wales Theatre the play was translated by Jack W. Mackail with stage music composed by Gabriel Fauré. Occupied by various administrative tasks the composer asked his favourite student Charles Koechlin to orchestrate the score in May 1898. The London theatre's limited instrumental staff corresponded perfectly to the apprentice musician's ideals of clarity and transparency. Established by Roger Nichols and Otfrid Nies this trilingual edition (French - English - German) is based on signed manuscripts and distinguishes itself through a 60-page critical commentary that precisely retraces the birth of the work. The book presents for the first time the complete incidental music written for the London premiere of Pelléas et Mélisande with the aim of staying true to Koechlin's original annotated version. Koechlin's orchestration is equal to the work: a model of clarity and refinement.

To this day Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) remains one of the most prolific composers for wind instruments despite being a violinist himself. His 15 Daily Studies for Bassoon will enable the pupil to attain brilliant technique on the instrument. During his studies at the Paris Conservatoire Bozza won prizes for Violin conducting and composition as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He then conducted the orchestra of the Opéra-Comique and became Head of the Conservatoire in Valenciennes whilst remaining a prominent composer. The exercises in Bozza 's 15 Daily Studies ensure frequent practice ofrange intervals embouchure breath control phrasing articulation performance directions dynamics and chromaticism among other aspects. 15 Daily Studies for Bassoon is a unique and essential aid in the progression of advanced Bassoon technical studies.

Italian composer Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) is well-known for his Keyboard compositions. His 555 Keyboard Sonatas remain ever popular to this day and it is for this reason that this eighth volume is indispensable to performers of the genre. Originally composed for the Harpsichord Organ or early Pianoforte the Sonatas display the riveting use of discords and unconventional modulations to remote keys. It is also thought that much of Scarlatti 's Keyboard music contains influences of Iberian music considering that he spent much of his working life in the service of the Spanish and Portuguese royal families.The eighth volume comprising Sonatas 358-407 includes the popular and recognised Sonatas in B minor (K. 377) and E major (K. 380). Bearing in mind that Domenico Scarlatti was a highly competent and popular Keyboard player in his day so much so that he was employed in the service of two royal families his Sonatas are composed with much experience understanding and expertise creating an essential addition to the repertoire of all Keyboard players of the Baroque genre.

This is the Concertino For Bassoon And Chamber Orchestra by Eugène Bozza scored here for Bassoon and Piano Reduction.
