The famous set of dances by Norway's greatest composer were written for piano duet. Grieg later created a piano solo version, but refused to orchestrate the set. After some study of Grieg and his music, Michael Webster has arranged the four dances for Flute, Clarinet, and Piano in a faithful setting, using the piano duet version as a guide. This lively Grieg classic will be a welcome new addition to performance programs. For advanced performers._______________________________________Text from the scanned back cover:Born in 1944, MICHAEL WEBSTER made his New York recital debut at Town Hall in 1968 with his eminent father, Beveridge Webster, as pianist.

'This set of miniatures is based on traditional dance songs of the Yupik Eskimo people of Western Alaska. In their original forms, these melodies would be sung in unison. The first, third and fifth songs would be accompanied by frame drums. The second and fourth are game songs, for jumping rope and juggling pebbles. Aside from the obvious difference in instrumentation, my settings of these songs differ from the Yup'ik originals in other respects. I have extended and varied the melodies, and added countermelodies, ostinato figurations, introductions, interludes and codas. The first four melodies are drawn from the collection Yup'ik Eskimo songs, compiled by Thomas F. Johnston, and Tupou L. Pulu, and published by the University Of Alaska. The fifth was 'loaned' to me by Yup'ik singer and dancer Chuna McIntyre, who learned it in his village of Eek, Alaska. The poems preceding each piece are rough translations of the words to the songs. These verses are often cryptic and enigmatic. Their obscurity is increased because some of the words or their meanings have been lost, over time.' - John Luther Adams.

English Dances, Set I, opus 27, is a light classic composition that was written for orchestra by the British composer Malcolm Arnold in 1950. The set contains four dances that continue without pause: the individual movements are indicated by the tempo markings. The work came about at the request of Bernard de Nevers, at the time the head of publisher Alfred Lengnick & Co., who asked Arnold to write a suite of dances as an English counterpart to Dvo ák’s Slavonic Dances and Bartók’s Romanian Folk Dances. The première took place in the spring of 1951, played by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Sir Adrian Boult. Following the success of the first set, DeNevers asked the composer to write a second one, which Arnold completed the next year (Op. 33). The Andantino from the first set has been skilfully arranged and orchestrated for brass band by Ray Farr. English Dances, Set I, opus 27, is een licht klassieke compositie die in 1950 door de Britse componist Malcolm Arnold voor orkest geschreven werd. De set bestaat uit vier dansen die zonder onderbreking in elkaar overgaan: de afzonderlijke delen worden aangegeven met de tempomarkering. Het werk kwam tot stand op verzoek van Bernard de Nevers, destijds het hoofd van uitgeverij Alfred Lengnick & Co., die Arnold vroeg om een reeks dansen te schrijven als een Engelse tegenhanger voor de Slavische dansen van Dvo ák en de Roemeense volksdansen van Bartók. De première werd in het voorjaar van 1951 gebracht door het London Philharmonic Orchestra, onder leiding van Sir Adrian Boult.Na het succes van de eerste set vroeg De Nevers om een tweede, die Arnold een jaar later voltooide (opus 33). Het Andantino uit de eerste set is door Ray Farr meesterlijk gearrangeerd en ge nstrumenteerd voor brassband.

‘Plateau of Dances with a Scottish Flavour’ Plateau of Dances with a Scottish Flavour was composed in autumn 2016, Eastbourne, and is inspired by my childhood in Doune, Perthshire; as well as the Ceilidhs and Fèis (cultural festival in the Highlands) my daughter, Clara, and I were immersed in when we lived in the picturesque village of Kingussie, Badenoch and Strathspey. The four dances are a celebration of my love and nostalgia for Scotland, and an expression of my family’s Scottish memories. Each dance comes with a quote from my favourite poet, Robert Burns, whose insightful and sensitive observations are a poignant appreciation of everyday life. Why the reference to Scottish food? Because this piece is dedicated to my father, Papou, who appreciates a merry supper. The 1st Movement, 'To the Mighty Haggis', is a Strathspey with its characteristic Scotch snap -a short-long rhythm, as if saying the word ‘haggis’; which is fitting as the Scottish bard’s quote comes from his poem Address to a Haggis, traditionally said on Burns’ Night. The 2nd Movement, 'The Humble Shortbread', is a Reel; as is usually the case in Scottish dances. It should be played with a slightly ‘snappy’, swung rhythm. 'What though on homely fare we dine, [...] A man is a man for all that' comes from my favourite Burns’ poem: A Man's a Man for A' That. And who doesn’t enjoy the humble shortbread? There is a more reflective, nostalgic mood to the 3rd Movement, 'Ode to the Homely (salty) Porridge'. The Air is a reminiscence of the quiet evenings Clara and I would spend in Kingussie, with our view of the beautifully haunting mountains. 'What will I get to my supper, [...] Ye'se get a panfu' o' plumpin parridge' comes from Burns’ The Shepherd’s Wife who tries to entice her husband back home with the promise of porridge (the Scottish way: with salt). Finally, the 4th Movement, 'Too Many Drams of Whisky', is a cheerful and lively Jig. It’s the convivial merriness of being with friends and family, maybe at a Ceilidh, with a wink to Scotland’s ‘water of life’. 'We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet, For auld lang syne' comes from Burns’ famous Auld Lang Syne: a fitting end to our musical and culinary tour of Scotland.

The four dances featured in this new volume aim to complement individual instrumental teaching and to develop the studentsâ?? taste for ensemble playing. De vier dansen in Four by Four zijn bedoeld als aanvulling op de individuele studie, en vooral gericht op de ontwikkeling van de belangstelling van de student voor het ensemblespel. De arrangementen zijn speciaal geschrevenvoor instrumentalisten die al twee of drie jaar spelen. In deze kwartetten heeft elke partij een specifieke, essentiële rol te vervullen op het melodische, ritmische en harmonische vlak.Vier Tänze für vier Violinen. Die Tänze in Four by Four sollen vor allem den SpaÃ? am gemeinsamen Musizieren wecken. In diesen Quartetten kommt jeder Stimme eine besondere Rolle zu, sowohl in melodischer als auch in rhythmischer und harmonischer Hinsicht. Les quatre danses qui composent ce recueil ont pour objectif de compléter la formation individuelle et, surtout, de faire aimer la musique dâ??ensemble. Les arrangements ont été spécialement écrits pour des violonistes ayant déj 2 ou 3 années de pratique. Dans ces quatuors, chaque partie a un rôle précis et indispensable, que ce soit au niveau mélodique, rythmique, ou encore harmonique.MULBERRY BUSHCette célèbre danse traditionnelle anglaise, caractérisée par un 6/8 allant, débute par une exposition du thème, dâ??abord lâ??unisson octavié, puis sous forme de mélodie harmonisée. Contrastant avec lâ??introduction, un développement de la mélodie sâ??ensuit, soutenu par des notes en valeurslongues. Une reprise du thème mène le développement vers une conclusion colorée.HAURRAK IKA SUZUELa gaieté se manifeste dès lâ??introduction de cette danse traditionnelle caractère ostinato ternaire. Lâ??accompagnement de la quatrième voix nous plonge dans un mouvement de valse malgré le chiffrage de mesure en 6/8. La mélodie est alternativement exposée par les première et quatrième voix tandis que les deuxième et troisième voix, plus discrètes, développent un soutien harmonique.BOUBLITCKHYCette danse aux accents typiquement russes est particulièrement intéressante dans la mesure où elle permet aux instrumentistes dâ??élaborer une lecture très personnelle. Malgré les indications de tempos, lâ??interprétation reste libre, dégageant un charme unique mêlant joie et nostalgie.DANSE BASQUE ESPAGNOLEDès les premières mesures de cette charmante Danse basque espagnole, la musique dépeint lâ??ambiance de cette magnifique région dâ??Espagne. Lâ??introduction lâ??unisson affirme admirablement le mode mineur quand survient, le mode Majeur. Le contraste est saisissant. La mécanique dâ??opposition entre Majeur et mineur sâ??installe et se répète avant dâ??aboutir une conclusion brève mais déterminée. Lâ??insegnamento di uno strumento è spesso individuale. Seppure necessario, questo approccio resta insufficiente per rispondere alle esigenze pedagogiche di oggi. Le quattro danze (Mulberry Bush, Haurrak Ika Suzue, Boublitchky, Danza basca spagnola) di questa raccolta hanno lo scopo di completare lâ??insegnamento individuale e, soprattutto, di far amare la musica dâ??ensemble.
