Tuned percussion part. This is a special item which is made to order. Please e-mail our Mail Order Department for further information.

Score of Rolf Wallin's Stonewave for solo Percussion. Composer's Notes:The last few years I have become increasingly involved in some peculiar mathematical formulas called 'fractals'. These formulas used inthe fast growing field of 'Chaos theory' are relatively simple but they generate fascinating and surprisingly 'organic' patterns when shown graphically on a computer screen or played as music. One should think that such amathematical approach would lead to sterile and 'theoretical' music. The sound world of 'Stonewave' however is not one you would associate with math books. The steady insistent pulse and the use of sequences put squarely upagainst each other or divided by long rests suggest an invisible ritual. A ritual for what? Well then let it be a ritual for the exorcism of some 'evil spirits' which now ride our part of the world under the name ofLiberalism making people the servants of the Market Forces instead of vice versa.'Stonewave' is therefore an incantation as it seems that only divine forces can save European culture from a political system that proclaimsthe Jungle Law as the guiding principle in social and cultural life. Rolf Wallin

Par MINDY PAUL / SAMMUT ERIC. Métissages est né d'une rencontre artistique entre Paul Mindy et Eric Sammut. C'est tout naturellement que ces deux musiciens, par ailleurs passionnés de pédagogie, ont voulu créer une passerelle entre les classes de percussions traditionnelles et classiques. Les pièces présentées dans ce recueil sont de styles variés, offrant un large éventail de musiques : classique, traditionnelle, originale. Elles revêtent toutes un indéniable intérêt pédagogique, tant d'un point de vue technique que de l'interprétation et de la connaissance des styles. Percussionniste et chanteur, Paul Mindy, professeur au CNR d'Aubervilliers-la-Courneuve, est spécialiste des musiques du Brésil. Il anime des masterclasses dans le monde entier. Il reçoit le prix Georges Brassens et se produit en tant que chanteur à l'Olympia. Il reçoit également en 2001 le prix de l'Assemblée Nationale et en 2002 le prix de l'Académie Charles Cros. Son talent de percussionniste lui a permis de jouer avec de grands musiciens : Richard Galliano, Roland Dyens, Carlo Rizzo, Franck Tortillier, Dave Samuel, Baden Powell... Il joue aussi avec le groupe 'Quai #5', l'Orchestre pour la paix, Flavio Esposito. Sa discographie comprend des enregistrements en solo (Le monde à l'envers, Mosaïque), en trio avec J.C. Hoarau et A. Vérité (Notre Brésil), et avec la chanteuse Fabienne Magnant (Canto instrumental), un DVD 'méthode pour percussion africaine, brésilienne et cubaine'. Paul Mindy est aussi l'auteur de livres-CD à succès aux éditions Didier Jeunesse : A l'ombre de l'olivier, Comptines du Baobab, Papagaio, Comptines créoles... En 2006, il participe au festival Percpan à Salvador de Bahia. Eric Sammut a débuté ses études musicales par l'apprentissage du piano, puis a suivi la classe de percussion de Michel Ventula au CNR de Toulouse. En 1989, l'année même où il obtient un premier prix à l'unanimité dans la classe de François Dupin et Georges van Gucht au CNSM de Lyon, Eric Sammut entre comme premier percussionniste à l'Orchestre de l'Opéra National de Lyon. Puis en 1995, le premier prix international de marimba de New York lui est décerné - il effectue alors une tournée de récitals et de masterclasses aux Etats-Unis, mais aussi en Europe et au Japon. Il enseigne le marimba au CNR de Toulouse depuis 1997, au CNR de Paris, ainsi qu'à la Royal Academy of London, et il est soliste à l'Orchestre de Paris. Après avoir participé à de nombreux enregistrements discographiques et vidéos avec l'Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse, l'Orchestre National de Bordeaux-Aquitaine, l'Orchestre National de Lyon, l'Orchestre de l'Opéra National de Lyon, l'Orchestre de Paris, il réalise en 2005 un album de marimba solo, 'Four-Mallet Ballet'. Un enregistrement pour un nouveau CD est prévu en 2006, avec les musiciens Philippe Berrod, Eric Echampard et David Patrois. Sometimes I feel like a Mother Child Percu. classique : le marimba fait ressortir la mélodie dans un débit ternaire - au vibra., les accords doivent être joués d'une manière profonde et colorée - le marimba basse doit être en osmose rythmique avec les percu. traditionnelles. Percu. trad. : travail de coordination sur kenkeni, sangbang et doumdoum - chaque musicien devra travailler chacune des parties séparément. Le travail d'ensemble sur kenkeni, sangbang et doumdoum développe l'écoute polyrythmique. Hymne à la joie Percu. classique : le marimba offre une partie ouverte où l'interprète peut prendre des libertés sur le mode de Ré majeur - le vibra., quant à lui, apporte le côté brillant et joyeux - le marimba basse a un rôle polyrythmique de 3 pour 4 avec la cloche. Percu. trad. : le but de ce morceau est de se familiariser avec cette cloche, que l'on retrouve partout sur 'le chemin des esclaves', de l'Afrique à l'Amérique du sud. Touran Percu. classique : cette pièce permet de se familiariser avec les mesures asymétriques, dans un esprit dansant. Percu. trad. : technique du pandeiro sur un rythme à 7/8 - passionnant ! Saudade pour Nina et Tali Percu. classique : triangle et caxi xi donnent l'esprit du rythme de cette musique - de ce fait, les claviers doivent en tenir compte dans leur interprétation. Percu. trad. : technique d'interprétation autour du rythme du Nordeste (Brésil), le baiao. Les Feuilles mortes Percu. classique : il est important d'être à l'écoute des percu. traditionnelles afin que l'aspect syncopé dans le binaire soit bien interprété. Percu. trad. : l'intérêt est dans les techniques de congas et la connaissance des principaux rythmes cubains, la 'rumba guaguanco' , le 'chacha loquafon' (binaire) et le 'bembé' (ternaire) / Niveau : Débutant à Intermédiaire / variété - jazz / Méthode / Percussions
