This scholarly-critical volume is the first published edition of Meyerbeer's Clarinet Quintet, which vanished in World War ll and only recently resurfaced in the estate of the clarinetist Carl Bärmann. Meyerbeer wrote the piece in Vienna in 1813 for his friend Heinrich Bärmann, a celebrated clarinettist to whom C. M. von Weber also dedicated several works. The extremely novel and virtuoso handling of the clarinet was unusual for its day: Meyerbeer allows it to stand out clearly from the string ensemble and pushes it to the utmost limits of its technique. The Work enriched the meager chamber music repertoire for the clarinet in the 19th century. Our scholarly-critical edition makes this masterpiece available to performers for the first time in print. Besides the musical text, it offers a critical report and a detailed preface discussing the work's genesis. The parts have been given performance markings by Dieter Klöcker.

ISBN 9790006523368. 33.5 x 25.5 cm inches. Text Language: French. Preface: Sylvie Bouissou. Louis de Cahusac.
Rameau's “Les Fêtes de l'Hymen et de l'Amour†was long considered second-rate because its première was associated with a political event. Yet this ballet abounds in novel dramaturgical effects that foreshadow his later operas, such as “Zaïsâ€, “Zoroastre†and “Les Boradesâ€. Working together with his librettist Cahusac, Rameau sought to weave the dance numbers, choruses and stage machinery more tightly into the main plot. He also experimented with stylistic devices unique to this work, the most famous being unquestionably the scene in which the Nile overflows its banks (an impressive ten-voice double chorus with solo voices and orchestra) and the sextet from “Arurisâ€, a scoring found nowhere else in his uvre.For the first time, this scholarly-critical edition of “Les Fêtes de l'Hymen et de l'Amour†presents a reference version of the work that is based on all the major sources for both the libretto and the music, including two recent musical discoveries. As most of the performance material for the première has vanished, our edition is based on the version prepared for the Acadmie Royale de Musique in 1748.

This set of inventive and hugely contrasting études for solo violin were written by Tom Coult between 2010 and 2014, the last two as commissions from the London Sinfonietta. The final piece in this eight-minute collection is the most unusual: serene and meditative, it utilizes a novel technique by which the player sustains hushed three-note chords.

Composer's Notes: This piece, written during the winter months of 2000-2001, consists of one movement, Allegro con fuoco, in which an old score is revisited, raided and ravished by its composer. The earlier music had been written in the mid-fifties for a stage work Maratona di Danza and for its maker, the director Luchino Visconti. Elements from the older piece reappear on and off like shadows under the surface of new ones, like more or less vague memories, images of young people suffering pain and despair in their struggle for survival in a barbaric, pitiless modern world. My new composition is a kind of concerto for very large symphony orchestra, an etude on constant and often rapid musical changes of mood and colours, built on a variety of rhythmic figures, incessantly and brutally pushing the music ahead. Sometimes, it is as though voices are weeping, sometimes crying out loud with pain, with anxiety, under the cold hearted pressure of an overwhelming violence. Hans Werner Henze Commissioned on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of das neue werk, Hamburg. Premiered on 29th June 2001. Duration 15 minutes.

This laidback, down-home blues features a strong melody, great ensemble writing, and plenty of solo space. All swing 8ths should be played with a steady triplet feel, and the tempo (quarter note = 60) shouldn't be rushed, even during the final roaring choruses that take this chart out. This one is a must have for any library! Duration ca. 7:30.

Scott's String Quartet No. 4 was completed in 1968, just two years before the composer's death. It is noted for its austerity and anguished harmonies.
Cyril Scott (1879-1970) was a British composer, pianist and poet. His most popular works, which he is largely remembered by today, were written in the years preceding the Second World War, however he continued to compose prolifically, in the face of indifference from the outside world, right up until his death at the age of 91. His music is predominantly in the Romantic style, and serves as a tasteful reminder of a bygone age.

Bohemian Rhapsody was a massive worldwide hit for the pop groupQueen. It topped the charts in 1975 and again in 1991 and 1992. The song is somewhat unusual for a pop hit as it is in the style of a rock opera and pushed the boundaries of both pop music and promotional music video. This arrangement for concert band retains all the operatic gymnastics of the original and will be an extremely popular item at any concert! Bohemian Rhapsody, het klassieke popnummer van de Engelse groep Queen, gooit altijd hoge ogen in de strijd om de hoogste notering in hitlijsten aller tijden. In deze schitterende rapsodie worden pop, rock en opera-achtige elementengecombineerd. De arrangeur Masamicz Amano schreef een overtuigende bewerking voor harmonieorkest.Der Titel Bohemian Rhapsody, mit dem die Gruppe Queen 1975 und noch einmal 1991 und 1992 in vielen Ländern auf den ersten Platz der Charts schoss, sprengte besonders in stilistischer Hinsicht die Grenzen der damaligen - und heutigen - Pop- und Rockmusik mit Elementen aus der Oper bis hin zum Hard Rock. Auch in der Blasorchesterbearbeitung von Masamicz Amano ist die Bohemian Rhapsody sehr überzeugend! Sorti le 31 octobre 1975, Bohemian Rhapsody va propulser le groupe Queen au sommet des hit-parades anglais pendant deux mois et révéler au monde entier les textes et la voix uniques de Freddie Mercury, le chanteur, qui transforme chaque concert en un véritable show médiatique. Bohemian Rhapsody è una delle canzoni più famose della Band britannica Queen e della musica rock in generale. Scritta da Freddie Mercury, quando fu estratta come primo singolo dall’album A Night at the Opera il 31 ottobre 1975, Bohemian Rhapsody ottenne subito un enorme successo commerciale. La canzone rimane il terzo singolo più venduto di sempre nel Regno Unito.

This is an updated edition of Francis Poulenc 's 1962 work Sonata For Oboe And Piano , edited by Millan Sachania . Featuring the full score and a separate Oboe part, this exclusive edition also includes a download card, giving you instant online access to demonstration and accompaniment tracks. Originally completed in 1962, Poulenc 's Sonata For Oboe And Piano had been brewing in his mind for at least five years. The last of Poulenc 's trio of sonatas for woodwind instruments, he tragically passed away before it could be definitively engraved, leaving behind a work with a number of ambiguous notational marks that resulted in an incomplete first edition, publishedposthumously. A number of revisions have taken place, but this, expertly edited by Millan Sachania , aims to provide a playable, legible, precise and authoritative score that reflect closest Poulenc 's intentions. This new edition revises many minor details, including Piano chords, tied notes, the correction of various bars throughout as well as his crescendos during the third movement. At all points, Sachania has aimed to reproduce an authoritative and accurate score that is at once playable and a reflection of what Poulenc himself may have intended. This is a most exciting prospect considering the reputation that this work has garnered as a piece of profound poignancy. Dedicated to Sergey Prokofiev, it has been said that the mournful final movement, Deploration , is something of an obituary. What makes this edition of Sonata For Clarinet And Piano really special is the unique download card that provides exclusive online access to demonstration and accompaniment audio tracks. Professionally-recorded by renowned oboist Christopher Cowie and pianist Huw Watkins, the demonstration track allows you to hear exactly how the piece as a whole should sound, before the independent Piano-only track lets you take the place of the Oboe in your very own performance. This is a unique opportunity for oboists to learn from an authoritative.
