Suite circulaire (2018) for organ is dedicated to Elisa Williams Bickers. The music takes a free, contemporary approach to the historical genre of circulating (or modulating) compositions, where the basic material moves through a variety of keys before returning home again. The goal is not simply to play a modulation game, but rather to construct a true musical discourse where the varied keys are an essential part of the concept. The first movement, Praeludium, is bright in character. Besides moving through varied keys, the movement is also animated with various looping patterns that provide another link to the circulating concept. The second movement, Ricercare, takes its content very literally from the title, which means to search out. Instead of being a proto-fugue, like many ricercares from the late Renaissance or early Baroque, the music searches through the keys by means of a wandering melody and a modulating accompaniment. The third movement, Toccata, is slightly manic in character. The syncopated theme heard at the start animates the movement as it moves through both tonal, modal, and bitonal/modal harmonies before reaching an excited conclusion. (When the suite is performed on an organ tuned in an unequal, circulating temperament, there is an additional circular effect provided by the quite varied key colors that are heard as the material moves through them.)Organ Duration: 14’ Composed: 2018 Published by: Zimbel Press.

As the title indicates, I have based the whole work on the letters of the first name of the dedicatee Marc Pantillon - german and french notations mixed - Mi, La, Re, Do (english E.A.D.C.). In melodic as well as in harmonic use. The musical discourse is maintained by a various set of easy recognisable sequences, but not bearing any resemblance to the traditional variations of the pianistic repertoire. Marc Pantillon has played the world premiere in March 2001 in Neuchâtel (Switzerland). Julien-François Zbinden.

Sandwiched between the popular Symphonies Nos. 7 and 9, the relatively short Eighth Symphony finds itself in a difficult position even now. Right after the premiere in February 1814, one critic opined that it had made “no splash.†At first glance it makes recourse to already outmoded forms and genres, even reviving a minuet for the third movement (in lieu of a slow movement) after an Allegretto scherzoso. But Beethoven engages intensively with music history, breaking apart traditional procedures and patterns and finding new, surprising solutions that make his Eighth a milestone in symphonic history. Based on the musical text of the Beethoven Complete Edition and furnished with a new preface, this recently prepared edition reflects the latest in Beethoven scholarship. Now,in this study edition, it is available to everyone at a reasonable price and in a handy format.

Set incluides 2 scores. York Concertato (2014) is a work for two organs and was written for Murray and Hazel Somerville (residents of York, South Carolina). The work is a chamber sonata for two organs in three movements (Exordium, Cantilena, and Fantasia), and is very intentionally conceived as chamber music, as opposed to many duo organ works requiring large instruments. This work may be played on almost any two organs. However, it is generally assumed that Organ I is a single manual instrument with no pedals (continuo/box organ) whereas Organ II is a slightly larger instrument with at least a pedal board. However, Organ II need not necessarily have more than one manual, nor need it have any 16' voices in the pedal. Performances on two larger organs is very possible, but the goal should always be an expressive, chamber music atmosphere with balanced discourse between the two instruments. This is really a work conceived for chamber organs, rather than for large symphonic instruments. Thus the players should also ideally be near each other. Instrumentation: 2 Organs Duration: 12' Composed: 2014 Published by: Zimbel Press.

Publication of György Kurtág's string chamber music is a long-awaited event: his chamber music master courses and the recording made by the Orlando Trio have aroused considerable interest in these works worldwide. The first three volumes contain pieces for violin (Z. 14220), for viola (Z. 14221) and for string trio (Z. 14223). As our title - Signs, Games and Messages - suggests, they include compositions of varying length written for different types of occasion: musical 'letters', tributes and playful experiments in instrumental technique.Die Herausgabe von György Kurtágs Kammermusik für Streicher stellt ein lang ersehntes Ereignis dar: Die von ihm veranstalteten Meisterkurse und die Schallplattenaufnahme desOrlando Trios lösten gegenüber diesen Werken weltweites Interesse aus. Zunächst erscheinen drei Hefte, die Stücke für Violine (Z. 14220), für Bratsche (Z. 14221) und für Streichtrio (Z. 14223).
