Par TYSHAWN SOREY. Tyshawn Sorey\'s For George Lewis draws inspiration from The Will to Adorn, a dense work for chamber orchestra by the composers friend, collaborator and mentor George Lewis. Where Lewis\'s score is frenetic, however, Sorey\'s enters into a meditative stasis for most of its 51-minute duration, slowly accumulating and breaking down different sonorities of harmony and colour. Alarm Will Sound, for whom the piece was composed, gave the world premiere in November 2019 at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, conducted by Alan Pierson, who also worked closely with the composer to edit this score. Calling for 16 players including a double bass with a fifth string tuned down to A-the score offers extensive performance notes and is available for sale as part of the Peters Contemporary Library, with performance materials available on hire. / Date parution : 2022-09-07/ Répertoire / Orchestre

Par OKPEBHOLO SHAWN E.. Although Zoom! by Shawn Okpebholo was commissioned by the US Air Force Band, its title refers less to the speed of supersonic fighter jets than to the brand of telecommunications software that allowed digital reunions between isolated loved ones during the 2020 pandemic, and to the race for a life-saving vaccine. The seven-minute piece for strings and percussion evokes the glimmers of hope and joy that manage to survive in times of darkness. Zoom! received a streaming premiere, performed in December 2021 by the strings and percussion of the US Air Force Band under the baton of Col. Don Schofield. This score is published as part of the Peters Contemporary Library, with parts available on hire. / Date parution : 2022-09-07/ Répertoire / Ensemble de Chambre

Par MCHUGH JIMMY. 'I'm in the Mood for Love' is today a 'standard' song released in 1935. The music was written by Jimmy McHugh, with lyrics by Dorothy Fields. The song was introduced by Frances Langford in the film 'Every Night at Eight' and released that year. It became Langford's signature song. Bob Hope, who often worked with Langford entertaining troops in World War II, later wrote that her performance of the song was often the show-stopper. This is one of the most recorded songs out there, from contemporary Billy Eilish to legends such as Luis Armstrong, Vera Lynn and Charlie Parker. The tune started as film music and has later been used in movies such as 'The Nutty Professor' and in “The Spike Jones Show”. Please try to create a 'ballroom' atmosphere around this song. It is possible to expand the solo part with more soloists (45 – 69) and you can choose whether you want to let everyone in part 3 play what is written, or let each one improvise. If you have piano or guitar, you can also let the bass line go together with them and cut out the wind parts. Use the score as a starting point to create an instrumentation that suits your ensemble! (Should some parts only be played by woodwind or brass?) There are quite a few additional notes in the chords. Therefore, balance is very important. Do not let 9ths or other dissonant notes stick out but let them melt into the harmony. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Ensemble Flexible à 5 Parties

Arr. Elliot Del Borgo. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Based on JS Bach’s chorale ‘Sleepers Awake’ this very dignified work presents the chorale and then in turn an exciting treatment of reworked fragments of the melody in a colourful and contemporary harmonic setting. / Niveau : 2.5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band

Tonalité : Es-Dur - Horn, Paul (Arr.) -. Par BIBER HEINRICH IGNAZ FRANZ. Stylistically, this anonymous sonata for scordatura violin, which has been preserved in the holdings of the Dresden Court Orchestra, points to the southern German-Austrian school of violin, and it shows the high level of the art of violin playing in Germany in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. A contemporary, handwritten note on the cover of the music refers to Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber and there are actually amazing similarities to works by this composer which would suggest that he indeed composed the work. However, a definitive clarification of this question must remain open./ Répertoire / Violon et Basse Continue

Rhapsodie. Par JANACEK LEOS. The rhapsody for orchestra “Taras Bulba” is the most important and on account of its genesis the most interesting of the three programmatic orchestral works the composer wrote between 1914 and 1920. All three of these works were responses to the contemporary social and political context: “The Fiddler’s Child” was an indictment of the state of society, “Taras Bulba” was a reaction to the international conflict of World War I, while “The Ballad of Blaník” was inspired by the birth of Czechoslovakia. “Taras Bulba” is now available in the New Conductor Score series. These completely redesigned scores stand out due to their carefully researched critical report and a highly legible, clean notation, all in the trusted Universal Edition quality./ Répertoire / Orchestre

Par ESENVALDS ERIKS. Only in Sleep is a nostalgic vision of childhood re-experienced through dreams. Eriks E?envalds has created a work of subtlety, yet powerful and expressive. The music has an incandescent freshness and the Flugel Horn soloist heard at the opening returns at the close, lost in reverie, whilst florid arabesques float over one last pair of chordal oscillations, winding down to nothing. This brilliant arrangement for brass band has become every bit as popular as the original choral setting. Brings contemporary choral repertoire by a leading international composer to the band world. Arrangement of Eriks E?envalds' highly successful choral piece 'Only in Sleep'. Arranged by brass and brass band specialist Phillip Littlemore. Part of EP Brass Band Series. Meditative, beautiful piece, highly attractive for audiences, and proven success as a choral work. Suitable for intermediate band at 2nd Section and above. / Date parution : 2022-05-17/ Répertoire / Brass Band

Par LANGER MANFRED. Uniform choral sound, homogeneous singing with singers in similarly uniform dress. What interest does the audience have in the fates of the individual singers? How good it is that today one may “act up“ again. When else is there time for chatting on the risers, screaming and shouting, articulating one’s ignorance concerning contemporary art expressing hopes of getting a solo, for pontificating, expressing displeasure with a neighbour of telling another member of the choir that one is in love? Or at the very least, to glance at the latest evening newspaper?/ Répertoire / 12 Voix

Par GRECO JOSE LUIS. The work started out as music for a contemporary ballet choreographed by Paul Selwyn Norton for Spain?s National Dance Company. The first of the three movements, the basis for a set of variations in the ballet, was left stranded. So I decided to add two more movements to round out the arc it seemed to suggest. The three movements are a bit like time travel, in that they evoke the Baroque, the Classical and the early 20th century. / Date parution : 2022-04-01/ Répertoire / Piano

Par BALMAGES BRIAN. So many performance options and combinations! Equally suited as an opener or closer, this ?Baroque-meets-contemporary? festival-style work has exceptional performance flexibility as a multi-level OR single-level work! Play it entirely as a grade 2 or play it as a grade 1. Additionally, both may be combined, and directors can add the grade ½ parts, which are based on open strings and limited first finger. Innovative and exciting! / Date parution : 2023-08-12/ Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes

Par WALTER BRUNO. Better known as one of the foremost conductors of the 20th century, Walter also found a place in contemporary composition in Vienna in the early part of the 1900s. Of particular importance is the Quintet, which was premiered by the Rosé Quartet, with the composer at the piano, and described as a resounding success. Universal Edition was an early publisher of Walter works, and they are pleased to publish this first edition of the Quintet, in cooperation with the Bruno Walter estate at the University of Music and Performing Arts of Vienna.
