A fairy tale in music freely after Wilhelm Hauff. Par NUTZENBERGER THOMAS. This is the bizarre and fantastic story of the boy Jacob who is transformed into a dwarf with a huge nose by an mysterious fairy. He spends seven years in the fairy’s palace, and during this time becomes a marvellous cook. The years go by as in a dream, and he does not imagine that he is in truth in the body of a loathsome dwarf. When he sees his parents again, they do not recognize him. He is mocked and rejected by everyone. But Jakob is not disheartened! He has to protect himself and survive setbacks and tests until at the end of the story he regains his true form.Zwerg Nase, based on the fairy tale of the same name by Wilhelm Hauff, is a story which gives courage and hope. It is a story which tells of self-confidence and friendship. There are the animals in the fairy’s palace, who stand alongside Zwerg Nase, and above all his girlfriend the goose Mimi who is herself an enchanted maiden and is saved from the oven by Zwerg Nase. Mimi knows which magic herb can give him back his true form. And everything turns out well in the end.The text and music convey the magical content of the fairy tale in a playful, yet convincing way. The libretto is catchy in its verse and rhyme, comic ideas alternate with touching and atmospheric passages.Classic and contemporary elements mix together in the setting, oriental borrowings stand alongside rhythmic pieces such as boogie-woogie, tango, and waltz. Written for chorus and solo voices, the Singspiel is suitable for children and young people from 6 to 14 years. It is about an hour in length.This is the bizarre and fantastic story of the boy Jacob who is transformed into a dwarf with a huge nose by an mysterious fairy.

Arr. D. Matthews. Par WAGNER RICHARD. The first performance of The Shorter Ring was given by William Howard, at Shoreditch Church (St Leonard's) as part of the Spitalfields Festival, London, in a programme to mark the 70th birthday of the composer, on 14 June 2013. David Matthews writes: In May 2012 William Howard asked me if I could make a condensed piano version of Der Ring des Nibelungen for him to play at a 70th birthday party for our mutual friend Colin Senior, who is a keen Wagnerian. William wondered if I could compress the fifteen hours of The Ring into three minutes. I thought this might be a little impracticable, but I managed to do it in five minutes, while retaining enough of the thematic material, I think, to give listeners a clear idea of the story. In this bicentennial year I hope the piece will give pleasure and amusement to Wagnerians, and may also encourage those who haven't heard the whole cycle to embrace the extraordinary experience that Wagner's great work affords./ Répertoire / Piano

Contained within Etudes For Electric Guitar are twelve exciting pieces for solo Electric Guitar designed to improve your skill and technique, specially devised by renowned composer Kris Lennox. As well as the standard notation and tab, the accompanying Download Card also gives you instant access to professionally-recorded demonstrations by the author himself.If your Guitar-playing is somehow stuck in a rut, or perhaps you just want some pieces to play away from a band setting, then Etudes For Electric Guitar is the book for you. Designed for intermediate guitarists, these twelve, completely original studies will help improve your technique and range by really focusing on certain aspects of your playing, such as fingering, rhythm and picking. These are challenging pieces, but if incorporated into a practice routine, they'll be hugely beneficial, as well as simply enjoyable to play. Author and composer Kris Lennox feels strongly about the etudes included in this collection of solo Guitar sheet music, and this is evident in his extensive written introductions, justifications and guidance notes for each study. He has noticed that the majority of electric guitarists can play the rhythm or lead parts of songs, while the electric Guitar is rarely thought of as its own solo instrument. With Etudes For Electric Guitar, Lennox hopes to change this, composing pieces that sound great, while also being technically challenging and entirely worthy of your time. You won't need any special equipment, just a standard electric Guitar and a willingness to learn and improve. The extensive notes give you essential tips on working through each study, making sure they are as beneficial as possible.Featuring twelve etudes, all in different keys, the notes are included in standard notation and tablature, so you don't have to know how to read music. There are also some fingering suggestions, so for particular stretches or complex passages, you can get help on where to put your fingers! The accompanying download card also gives you instant online access to studio-quality demonstrations, recorded by Kris Lennox himself, so you can hear exactly how each etude should sound. If you're feeling brave enough, you could attempt to play along with Lennox's recording, but be sure to start slowly! This collection of Etudes For Electric Guitar is a fantastic opportunity to play a set of twelve expertly-composed studies for solo Electric Guitar, the likes of which are difficult to find among today's PVG or tab songbooks. To improve your playing, or just to expand your repertoire beyond simple songs, Etudes For Electric Guitar by Kris Lennox is a creative collection of pieces that are both enjoyable to play and invaluable to your technique. / Guitare

Original Version - Edition for Cello and Piano. Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. Schumann’s Cello Concerto Rediscovered In her first Urtext edition for Edition Peters, internationally renowned cellist Josephine Knight reveals Robert Schumann’s original version of his Cello Concerto in A minor Op. 129 – a piece he actually called a ‘Concertstück’ – removing generations of inauthentic editorial interventions. This is the only available modern scholarly edition of the work as Schumann originally conceived it, and restores the text from October 1850, based on the composer’s manuscript held in the Biblioteka Jagiellonska in Kraków. This Full Score matches the separately available edition for Cello and Piano (EP 73488). Matching orchestral material is also available from the publisher. Only modern Urtext edition based on Schumann’s original 1850 manuscript Many new corrections and clarifications, especially to the cello part Scholarly preface detailing history of the work and this edition by editor Josephine Knight, Piatti Professor of Cello at the Royal Academy of Music London Cello Part contains Josephine Knight's fingering and bowing suggestions Critical Commentary Cello and piano edition available separately from Edition Peters: orchestral parts available for rental Recording of the Concertstück featuring Josephine Knight available from Dutton Robert Schumann’s tragic last years have mired many of his greatest works in unnecessary doubt. The story of the suppression of his Violin Concerto by well-meaning friends is relatively well-known. Few, however, know that the version of the Cello Concerto that is routinely heard today is so far from Schumann’s original conception of the work – not only in details of phrasing and articulation, but also featuring a different ending with a bold final flourish from the cello. Composed in a burst of inspiration in two weeks in October 1850 shortly after he and Clara had moved to Düsseldorf, Schumann (who in 1850 was still in good health) never heard the piece performed. In an effort to promote a performance of the work, he gave the score to the cellist Robert Emil Bockmühl. Bockmühl made revisions that Schumann resisted, and the hoped-for performance never happened. Schumann’s health failed and he died aged just 46 in 1856. The Concerto, in an already substantially revised form, was premiered in 1860 but it was not given significant recognition until it was championed by Pablo Casals in the 20th century by which time (and since) the text for the work had accreted additions and alterations from generations of soloists. Now Josephine Knight, Piatti Professor of Cello at the Royal Academy of Music, London has returned to the original 1850 manuscript of the work, which is in the Biblioteka Jagiellonska in Kraków, to reveal Schumann’s original thoughts for the first time in a modern Urtext edition. The edition reflects Schumann’s original conception of the work as a Concertstück and restores Schumann’s musical text, free of posthumous interventions. ‘My ultimate wish,’ says the editor, ‘is to give performers both access to, and confidence that they are playing from, an edition which is a true representation of the piece in its original form, no matter how much more difficult this might be. I found that incorporating the changes enabled the piece to take on a completely different character – one that is lighter and happier, even “cheerful”, as Schumann himself described the work.'/ Répertoire / Violoncelle et Piano

Par SNEDECOR PHIL. Many years ago, on a suggestion from Marine Band tubist John Cradler, I wrote a quirky collection of tunes set in the lower register of the tuba That book, published in 1991, 'mimics to be popular beyond my wildest dreams with players of all age levels and ability. Its success exposed a void in studies with actual music in the extreme lower part of the tuba range, a part of the instrument that is so important in the music of Prokofiev, Wagner and other composers. The ability to read notes (on sight!) of 4 and 5 ledger lines had only been previously addressed with repetitive exercises and academic method books. The embarrassing gap between that first volume and today's long-awaited and requested second book is only the fault of yours truly, who until recently didn't think there was a sincere desire for a second book. When I did decide to start writing, I was conflicted over which direction to go: Low Vol. 2? Low(er!) Etudes? Higher Lyrical? Orchestral Excerpt-Based Etudes? Duets? I finally decided on this combination of Lou/(er!) Etudes with accompanying duets that give the player a break from the ultra low writing, and provide a chance to revisit the well-loved tunes of the first book with fresh harmonies. I hope you enjoy what I've finally come up with and accept my apologies for taking so long to do it! My sincere thanks to tubists everywhere for making these tunes part of your music-making over the years. This long-awaited Low(er!) Etudes for Tuba includes more of the melodies Phil Snedecor is known for composing. Always harmonically fresh and melodically surprising, these tunes pose challenges beyond the ultra low notes and offer new discoveries upon each reading. Also included are companion duets to the original Low Etudes for Tuba. A great book to keep on the music stand in your studio! / Niveau : 4 / Etudes et exercices / Etude / Trompette

This ground-breaking and unmissable piano collection celebrates the music of iconic black songwriters. Including acclaimed songs such as People Get Ready (Curtis Mayfield), A Change is Gonna Come (Sam Cooke), Blinded By Your Grace Part 1 (Stormzy), I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free (Nina Simone), Redemption Song (Bob Marley), and more. All of the pieces are idiomatically arranged for intermediate-level piano solo (approximately Grade 3-5). The nature, style and genre of the songs vary widely, but the aim is to introduce players to a range of musicians and works that may well be new to them but are nevertheless important classics. The song People Get Ready was written during a time of civil unrest in America. Curtis Mayfield was increasingly infusing his songs with social commentary and it was written to give a message of hope, that change is on the way and there will be better times ahead./ Recueil / Piano

TO ALL LOVERS OF CUBAN FLUTE MUSIC (A TODOS LOS AMANTES DE LA FLAUTA CUBANA) This book dedicated to the flute in popular Cuban music is a method in which I have tried to include all the technical and stylistical aspects that are of interest to the musician who wishes to become acquainted with the world of Latin music. On the one hand, the book presents the most important genres of our music where the flute plays an outstanding role as a solo instrument; on the other hand, it introduces the most essential characteristics of the individual genres the flutist should be familiar with when performing Cuban music. This method mainly focusses on technical aspects comprising the knowledge of the clave, articulations, embellishments and the like, presented along with exercises, examples and the analysis of flute solos. I would like to recommend you this book written with deeply-felt dedication by one of Cuba?s greatest contemporary flute players. This excellent work, I have had the pleasure of viewing before its publication, has been created by supreme effort by a good friend of mine who I have worked with at work sessions, on stage and in the recording studio for a long time. I hope that this wonderful concept will help to give worldwide publicity to an instrument of fundamental importance to Cuban music of all times. (Orlando Valle ?Maraca?)

Par SMITH PAUL. A standalone work for SATB choir and SATB solo quartet, painting a picture of the different characters of a dream. This movement is both comforting and confusing, and is inspired by the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish. A New World is a musical story across five movements with texts by authors from Cicero and Ovid to George William Russel; from nursery rhymes to war poets. The music and texts link to form a narrative that questions what sort of ‘New Worlds’ have come into existence, or could be created in our future, and considers how we balance human traits of fear, displacement, isolation and conflict with equally human traits of love, hope, forgiveness and unity. The internationally-renowned British vocal ensemble VOCES8 is proud to inspire people through music and share the joy of singing. The celebration of diverse musical expression is central to the ensemble’s ethos, and this is shown in their versatile concert programmes and innovative educational work. The ‘VOCES8 singles’ series includes songs for which the group is particularly well known and which have been composed or arranged specifically for VOCES8. / Choral Music / Répertoire / Voix Mixtes SATB et Piano
