The Skye Steersman'S Song. Par REINSHAGEN FRANK. Song from the Hebrides. Compatible with clarinet and saxophone editions. Medium Writing these arrangements, Frank Reinshagen has created little masterpieces, which broaden the rhythmical and harmonic context of the original tunes in an interesting manner without detracting from their archaic and melancholic character. These original tunes are - in a direct or wider sense - of 'Celtic origin', in other words, they have been borrowed from the Irish, Scottish and Gaelic musical tradition.These through-composed arrangements are rather easy to perform from the rhythmical and technical point of view. Yet, they are quite demanding in respect of the key they are written in, their intonation and, especially, their interpretation. Their different instrumentations are fully compatible with each other and, due to their overall structure, they are also suitable to be played with multi-scored parts. Annotation on 'S mo lamh air a stiuir: The interpretation of 'S mo lamh air a stiuir - the song of a helmsman living on the Isle of Skye - should be interpreted with the musicians paying careful attention to its dynamics and phrasing, which reflect the up-and-down motion of the stormy Artic Ocean. For this arrangement the key D minor - which is one whole tone lower than the original - has been chosen to make sure that the piece is playable, especially for a clarinet quartet./ Répertoire / Quatuor de Cuivres

Annotation on 'Aignish on the Machair'. The arrangement of Aignish on the Machair illustrates, above all, the melancholic character inherent in the harmonies of the original tune. A short rubato passage is followed by several variations over the flowing melody in 3/4 time. The short triplet passages embedded in these variations are quite demanding from the technical point of view - considering the key they are written in, however, these passages are not too difficult to play./ Répertoire / Quatuor de Cuivres

Transcribed by popular brass arranger Robert King this edition of Giovanni Gabrieli's Canzona Per Sonare No. 4 from 'Canzoni per sonare con ogni sorte di stromenti' provides an exciting performance piece for a large Brass Ensemble.

However his Canzona Per Sonare No. 4 represents an important turn not only in the composer's career but in musical history. Composed in 1608 this piece helped pave the way to what would soon becomethe new Baroque concerto style which remains popular to this day. King's arrangement of this historical work is indispensable for Brass Ensembles.
