The legendary saxophonist Michael Brecker kept extensive notes on things to practice over the whole span of his career. This unique and beautifully produced book presents the essence of these notebooks - jam-packed with useful, and often brilliant, musical ideas and over 700 exercises. The Practice Notebooks of Michael Brecker can be used with any treble clef instrument (since he often wrote ?Play in all keys!?) and contain explanations of how he actually worked on these ideas from Joey Calderazzo, John Patitucci, Richie Beirach, Steve Khan and Dave Liebman. An appendix of his saxophone-specific exercises on fingerings, multiphonics, etc. is also featured / Saxophone / Sher Music

Five years after the release of the monster album Thriller which sold a record-breaking 105 million copies worldwide up to this date this second single from the album Bad released in 1987 also peaked at number one on the Billboard chart. This song was performed during Michael?s first solo world tour that started from Japan (Korakuen Stadium) in September 1987. The short film directed by Martin Scorsese also generated great publicity. In particular the animated group dance scene in the subway made a huge impact on the viewers and distinguished Michael?s image. As the video depicts ?bad? in this song?s lyrics indicate the kicking cool unruly living on thestreets. As the opening number Bad strikes out a course of slight-but-right edginess with its dynamically groovy arrangement that underscores the electric funk in the original tune. Don?t miss the last punch line: Who?s bad?

Par TIPPETT MICHAEL SIR. Like Robert Schumann who often favoured the horn, Sir Michael Tippett who died on 8 January 1998 makes full use of the instrument‘s tonal possibilities in this work. He translated the Romantic genre of horn quartet into a modern tonal language: 'All movements contain characteristic calls and triad arpeggios. Sometimes the call itself is the theme, as in the fugue. Sometimes the calls are the accompaniment to a solo, such as in the nocturne.' (Tippett) The forms of the four movements, however, are traditional. The structure of the fist movement is reminiscent of the form of a strophic song. The second movement is an allegro, the slow third a nocturne in the traditional ABA form. And fially the last movement is a capricious fugue./ Répertoire / 4 Cors

Par JARRELL MICHAEL. Michael Jarrell définit la série abondante des Assonances comme un, 'cahier d'esquisses' où il pourrait exercer son 'droit de se concentrer sur une idée et de s'y sentir libre'. Assonance III pour clarinette basse, violoncelle et piano se situe essentiellement dans le registre grave pour lequel le compositeur ne cache pas une certaine prédilection - la pérennité des sons de la clarinette basse et du violoncelle est assurée par le piano (couvercle ouvert) placé juste derrière les instrumentistes. Ainsi, en amont de l'écriture, ce dispositif acoustique et instrumental, où le silence a sa part, augure déjà de certains procédés présents effectivement dans l'oeuvre. La pièce s'ouvre sur une figure violente de petites notes rapides et disjointes qui presque instantanément viennent se dissoudre dans les résonances du piano - lesquelles donnent l'illusion de notes tenues. Cependant ce processus, maintes fois relancé et varié, se transforme inéluctablement et bientôt fusent des trilles, des notes répétées, des trémolos de grands intervalles dans des jeux en effet, d'assonance. Une sorte de climax* est atteint à la proportion du Nombre d'Or** (en nombre de mesures tout au moins), point culminant dans lequel la clarinette basse entame une cadence irascible qui très vite se propage aux deux autres instruments. Mais peu à peu, transfigurée en une lente respiration, se rappelle à nous la pulsation initiale et les trois instruments semblent trouver ici un repos. La pièce s'achève en un unisson où, dans la mémoire de l'auditeur, résonnent encore ce que l'on pourrait se risquer à nommer des 'métamorphoses du silence'. * Climax: apothéose, sommet. ** La proportion du Nombre d'Or a la propriété d'être égale au rapport des deux parties inégales d'un tout, aussi bien qu'a celui du tout et de sa partie la plus grande. Ce rapport est un peu inférieur à deux tiers. / contemporain / Date parution : 1989-01-01/ Répertoire / Clarinette Basse, Violoncelle et Piano

Michael Nyman was inspired to write this single-movement piece Self Laudatory Hymn Of Inanna And Her Omnipotence in 1992 after having discovered the text in the library of a friend. The words belong to Inanna the Queen of theHeavens in the Sumerian religion who proclaims audaciously all that her father Enil has bestowed upon her. Nyman composed the piece for counterTenor James Bowman and recorded it on his eighteenth album Time Will Pronounce:The 1992 Commissions. Unlike many of Nyman’s other albums this one features only one member of the Michael Nyman Band.Nyman is a contemporary British composer of richly layered modular minimalist pieces often incorporatingperiod instruments or instrumentation outside the normal Orchestral offerings. He is particularly well known for his film scores including The Piano The Cook The Thief His Wife and Her Lover Prospero’s Books and The Claim among many others. His work is widely performed.

Par JARRELL MICHAEL. Trei II s'appuie sur une oeuvre plus ancienne pour voix seule qui s'attachait au phénomène de 'détriplement' d'une personne ('Trei' signifie trois en ancien français), et à l'incapacité psychique de s'exprimer. J'ai voulu reprendre cette expérience avec la formation instrumentale du Pierrot lunaire de Schoenberg. Le phénomène du 'détriplement' est notamment réalisé par une alternance de tempi différents juxtaposés sans transition et par l'emploi de textes en français (François Le Lionnais), en allemand (Konrad Bayer) et en anglais (Richard D. Laing). Michael Jarrell / contemporain / Répertoire / Soprano et 5 Instruments
