Melodrama for Narrator, Children's Choir and Ten Instruments. Gualtierro Dazzi: The texts underlying these fragments are passages from a long poem by Armand Gatti entitled L'Enclos. Through memories, this long poetic narrative recounts the course of a generation that strove to resist against the rise of fascism in the 1930s Europe. This resistance often led them to the concentration camps and, for most of them, to death.Thanks to the great emotional intensity of his poetic writing, Armand Gatti makes us share his grief for the loss of some dear friends who were barely 20 years old.The fragments selected for the children's choir are moments where poetry becomes more distant, as if lost and suspended in its own beauty. The white voices embody those terrible memories by vanishing into an angelic sphere. The work is a melodrama for narrator, children's choir and small instrumental ensemble. Thus, the poem is to be read, accompanied by the instrumental music and placed in between the choral parts.This project is dedicated to the memory of Jean Moulin, prefect of Eure-et-Loir, leader of the Resistance movement, for his antifascist struggle.

This volume contains everything needed for guitar lessons: 58 easy original guitar pieces by Aguado, Mertz, Diabelli, Carulli, Sor or Carcassi, but also easy-to-play arrangements of classical music from the fields of orchestral music, chamber music or opera. Among them are themes from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, from Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks, Mozart's Magic Flute, Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 or Verdi's Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves. It is this volume's concern to make classical masterpieces of concert literature accessible to children by means of such rather easy arrangements and make them enjoy classical music. All pieces are recorded on the accompanying CD to make it easier for the pupils to study and master the works.

Filled with classic Ed Huckeby flair, The Cauldron is an outstanding selection for contest or festival! With dramatic syncopations and changing meter leading the way, the musical elements blended into The Cauldron are unique and tremendously appealing. Along with energy-charged rhythmic elements throughout, the beautiful melodic content in the middle section provides a wonderful opportunity for your ensemble to show off its lyrical maturity. Highly recommended!
