Listen to Scandinavia er et samarbejdsprojekt mellem tre nordiske konservatorielærere, Brita Bremberg (Stockholm), Gro Shetelig Kruse (Oslo) og Mette Stig Nielsen (Odense), som underviser i hørelære,auditiv analyse og musikpædagogik.

Den nordiske musik fører i al almindelighed et usynligt og uhørligt liv i musikundervisningen - såvel i lærebøgerne som i klasseværelserne.Endvidere mangler der pædagogiske værktøjer og metoder til undervisning i partiturmusik fra det 20. århundrede, næsten al klassisk musikpædagogik er bygget op omkring vesteuropæiskmusikfra 1700- og 1800-tallet.

I denne bog har vi derfor udarbejdet et undervisningsmateriale, der kan bruges på gymnasier, seminarier, MGK- kurser, musikkonservatorier, universiteter og andre steder, hvor derundervises i musik, musikteori, musikhistorie og musikpædagogik. Vi håber, at den nyere og nye nordiske musik vil blive brugt til intensiv lytning, hørelære, formlære, musikanalyse bl.a. gennem detforeliggende materiale, og at musiklærere og studerende vil kunne blive inspireret af vores spørgsmål i opgaverne og vores forskellige ideer til grafisk partitur, fri tegning og improvisation..

Detmusikalske materiale er et rigt udvalg af musik fra Danmark, Norge, Sverige, Finland, Færøerne og Island, og repræsenterer musik fra årene 1900-1919, 1920-1939, 1940-1959, 1960-1979 og 1980-2003.

Det ligger udenfor mulighederne i denne bog at omtale alle de betydningsfulde komponister som de nordiske lande har fostret. Musikeksemplerne er udvalgt, så de tilsammen giver et bredt indtryk af den nordiske musik efterår 1900 og ud fra deres kunstneriske og pædagogiske potentiale.

BOGENS METODE
Bogen er baseret på den idé, at man ved at lytte mange gange med skiftende fokus på et musikstykke kanudvikle evnen til at.

Dedicated to Bryan Young, Principal Bassoon, Baltimore Chamber OrchestraBassoon Duration: 5'3 Composed: 2020 Published by: Subito Music Publishing PROGRAM NOTE: The year 2020 has definitely been a very challenging year with many upheavals. During this time of the COVID-19 health crisis, wearing masks, and high racial tensions, I decided to compose four short solo woodwind works for flute, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon, which represent the core woodwind section in an orchestra. I was inspired to compose these short pieces after I first heard Igor Stravinsky's three short pieces for clarinet, which totals a little more than four minutes in duration. I thought that it would be nice to highlight and honor my African-American male colleagues in the orchestral music world. I wanted to celebrate the fact that they are the principal player in the section of their respective orchestras. The short pieces are as follows: Principal Brother No. 1 for flute solo for Demarre McGill, Principal Flute of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, Principal Brother No. 2 for oboe solo for Titus Underwood, Principal Oboe of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, Principal Brother No. 3 for clarinet solo for Anthony McGill, Principal Clarinet of the New York Philharmonic, and Principal Brother No. 4 for bassoon solo for Bryan Young, Principal Bassoon of the Baltimore Chamber Orchestra. These works all begin with notes that are representative of their name; D for Demarre, B for Titus (ti in solfège starting on C), A for Anthony, and Bb for Bryan. There is also a rhythmic figure in the opening measures of each piece, which represent the utterance of their names. All four of these works are rhapsodic in nature with elements of improvisation. - James Lee III.

Yevhen Stankovych is a pioneer in the rebirth of the neo-romantic style in the second half of the 20th century. At the beginning of the 1980s he developed his own musical system, which he calls polyphony of layers. Dictum for piano and strings is among the works written in this manner, composed shortly following the Chernobyl disaster. It is regarded as the only composition which adequately expresses the tragedy.

More than my earlier works, this one is interspersed with metrically bound rhythms and musicianly characters that constantly recrystallize and drift towards or away from familiar situations.The familiar: These are dance-like figures and music-making formulas, but also songs and, in two cases fragments of Bach's music - playfully collected memories of impressions in which - consciously and unconsciously - I am embodied with that collective comfort in whose protection bourgeois thinking and feeling, magically protected, grow up and emerge apart.(It is well known that such security has its fetishes from the childlike to the adult stage: Home, religious bond, holidays, tradition, longing for childhood - the superficiality may have little idea of the depth that opens up underneath. There is also no question that we are still marked by such security even when the contradictions and alienation of existence force us to step out of their protection, to recognize and act upon reality, and to oppose the domination of such inner bonds where their original truth has become the fatal untruth of comfortable illusion, stubbornly and fearfully conjured idyll and reactionary narrow-mindedness.My music feeds on figures in which such memories are encapsulated. It deals with them not much differently than in other pieces with the elements of the traditional musical concept of material, having already always reflected compositionally as a product of sociality and anticipation of musical expression, i.e. it moved into a structurally expanded context and expressively redefined from there.Such an approach aims at overcoming lack of freedom: grasping as part of conceiving, i.e. not philosophical reflection, but rather an artistically gripping reflex by intervening in the physical immediacy of such predetermined elements. These penetrate and infect the structural events, inducing a musicianship that cannot be relied upon; the music jumps onto rhythms like onto moving vehicles, allows for being carried by them until they deform or disintegrate. This creates an incline of rhythmically shaped situations: sequence and interweaving of dances and structures.The role of the solo string quartet is versatile, obbligato and concertante, leading and accompanying in a changing sense. Set as a chamber music apparatus in an orchestral landscape, it repeatedly forces its own sound dimensions onto the orchestra, it must accept being drowned out at times, it nests in the holes of tutti fields, it acts as a louse in the fur, forcing one to listen in and out.The Tanzsuite with Deutschlandlied is structured as follows:I. Section. 1. Introduction - 2. Waltz - 3. March - 4. Bridge -II. Section. 5. Siciliano - 6. Capriccio - 7. Valse lente -III. Section. 8. Bridge - 9. Gigue - 10. Tarantelle - 11. Bridge -IV.

Allegro Brillante is the first movement of Dragonland for band. The first performance (under the original title, A Short Symphony) was given by the L.E. Dieruff High School Concert Band, conducted by Raymond S. Becker, Jr., on April 21, 1978. The work was subsequently revised, and first performed in its new version by the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Symphony Band, conducted by Donald S. George, on November 23rd, 1980. Allegro Brillante is the first movement of four. The music is almost profligate in its tunefulness, quick to change tack and tempo, and will benefit from an interpretation of headstrong abandon. Ensemble instrumentation: 1 Piccolo, 7 Flute I-II, 2 Oboe I-II, 2 Bassoon I-II, 1 Eb Clarinet, 4 Bb Clarinet I, 4 Bb Clarinet II, 4 Bb Clarinet III, 2 Eb Alto Clarinet, 2 Eb Bass Clarinet, 2 Eb Contra Alto Clarinet, 2 Eb Alto Saxophone I, 2 Eb Alto Saxophone II, 2 Bb Tenor Saxophone, 1 Eb Baritone Saxophone, 2 Bb Cornet I, 4 Bb Cornet II-III, 2 Bb Trumpet I-II, 2 F Horn I-II, 2 F Horn III-IV, 2 Trombone I, 4 Trombone II-III, 3 Euphonium B.C., 2 Euphonium T.C., 6 Tuba, 2 String Bass, 1 Timpani, 1 Percussion I, 2 Percussion II, 2 Percussion III, 1 Percussion IV, 2 Percussion V.

The performing style that created the Sousa Sound and made his music pre-eminent in the golden age of bands is revealed in this thought-provoking exploration by Keith Brion, founder and conductor of his own New Sousa Band. The band was formed in 1986 for a nationally televised PBS special, The New Sousa Band on Stage at Wolf Trap. It has since toured in every section of the United States and performed overseas tours in Japan and China. Since 1980, Mr. Brion has conducted his popular Sousa at the Symphony concerts with nearly every American major and regional symphony orchestra, often in repeat performances. Brion's insight into the musical depth of Sousa marches will enlighten any serious reader. Includes: · Sousa'a Marches As He Conducted Them · Parts of a Sousa March · Articulations, Dynamics, Phrasing, Harmony and Counterpoint · Blend, Color, Balance and Tempo · The Importance of After-Beats and Bass Lines · Instruments and Instrumentations · Percussion in Sousa's Marches · Patterns for Conducting Marches · Background and Analysis of The Stars and Stripes Forever - 2/2 · Background and Analysis of The Invincible Eagle - 6/8 · A Summary of Sousa Performance Techniques · Performance Suggestions · New Sousa Band Style Sheet and Guidelines · A List of References: Books and Recordings · Facts and Misconceptions About Sousa and His Concerts.

Written by Ferdinand Gillet, a brilliant Oboe professor, this Twenty-minute study is a set of daily exercises for Oboe players. Each exercise is a bit less than a page length and focuses on fundamentals such as trills, arpeggios, register changes in major and minor keys, velocity and most difficult intervals. This set of exercises would definitely benefit upper intermediate/advanced Oboists, and is a really good method to increase technical skills. Ferdinand Gillet (1882-1980) was also the main soloist at the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He also wrote a method called studies for the advanced teaching of the Oboe and Exercises for advanced Oboe technique.
