The Trois Chorals are amongst Franck?s best-known works. They are characterised by great religious solemnity and were intended more for the concert organ as far as their dimensions are concerned. Many organistsconsider them to be César Franck?s legacy. After being involved in a road accident in May 1890 Franck died at the beginning of November 1890. He had probably already begun work on the Trois Chorals before his accident in 1889.Yet we know that their completion was delayed until autumn 1890. Franck was no longer able to oversee the printing process for the first edition which only appeared in 1892. Our Urtext edition takes two previously unknownautographs of the 1st and 3rd chorales into account for the first time and is thus able to supply a reliable musical text beyond the first edition based on a sound evaluation of the sources.

Par MARTIN JUAN. Four exciting concert solos for flamenco guitar from Juan Martín's best-selling album 'The Andalucian Suites'. This is the first of the four suites on the album. These suites are transcribed into standard notation and flamenco tablature (cifra), with introductory playing notes by Juan Martín. The four solos on the accompanying CD are performed by Juan. The complementary and contrasting variety of styles and rhythms of the four solos provide a brilliant display of Juan's artistry and the expressive capabilities of the flamenco guitar. Each solo is complete in itself. A powerfully evocative Zambra Mora is followed by the much-requested rumba 'La Feria', then a gently melancholic Milonga and finally a thrilling Bulerías, which combines modern elements with pure gypsy falsetas from Moron del la Frontera. These solos provide an exceptional opportunity to learn and enjoy the music of a master flamenco guitarist, whose two volumes of graded 'Solos Flamencos' are already Mel Bay best-sellers. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Flamenco - Solos / Tablatures / Guitare Tablatures Classique

This is the most comprehensive study of Schoenberg's program notes and analyses of his own music yet published. Schoenberg's Program Notes And Musical Analyses illuminates 42 of Schoenberg's compositions through his own writings. This material in book emphasizes Schoenberg's deep concern for communicating with and educating his audience. In 1950 as Arnold Schoenberg anticipated the publication of a collection of 15 of his most important writings Style and Idea he was already at work on a second volume to be called Program Notes. Inspired by this idea Schoenberg's Program Notes And MusicalAnalyses can boast the most comprehensive study of the composer's writings about his own music yet published. Schoenberg's insights emerge not only in traditional program notes but also in letters sketch materials pre-concert talks public lectures contributions to scholarly journals newspaper articles interviews pedagogical materials and publicity fliers. The editions of the texts in this collection based almost exclusively on Schoenberg's original manuscript sources include many items appearing in print in English for the first time as well as more familiar texts that preserve musical and textual information eliminated from previous editions. The book also reveals how Schoenberg desirous to communicate with and educate an audience took every advantage of changes in technology during his lifetime utilizing print media radio broadcasts record jackets—and had he lived television—for this purpose. In addition to four chapters in which Schoenberg illuminates 42 of his own compositions the book begins with chapters on his development and influences his thoughts about trends in modern music and in a nod to the importance of the radio in providing a venue for music analysis a chapter about Schoenberg's radio broadcasts.

Poul Ruders' Handel Variations for Orchestra (2009) -Ninety Symphonic Reflections on Eight Bars by Georg Friedrich Handel.Commissioned by and dedicated to the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra in celebration of their 75th anniversary 2010. Premiered by The Aarhus Symphony Orchestra conducted by Giancarlo Andretta at the Aarhus Concert Hall 14 January 2010. Programme noteThe short feisty Bourrée from Handel´s famous Water Music (First Suite in F major) has for some years been hovering at the back of my mind as possessing the perfectpotential for a series of variations. Not unlike the short 'morsel' by Henry Purcell (the witches Ho-ho-ho-chorus from the opera Dido and Aeneas) which kicks off the ten variations of my orchestral work Concerto in Pieces the music per se is not particularly interesting but it nevertheless grows on you and is difficult to get rid of. It is merely a handful of sequences (a technique much used in the Baroque era - a method in which the same motif is being shifted up and down in a specified order). Actually it is only the first eight bars of the Bourrée which I haul through the wringer.It would be obvious to assume that Handel Variations make up a sequel to Concerto in Pieces but in spite of the similarity in character between the two chosen themes the Handel Variations are far more symphonically coherent. There are no less than ninety (!) variations and each variation (they are relatively short ranging from four up to forty-something bars) runs seamlessly into the next creating a huge symphonic body of constantly changing colours. I set out with the original theme without interfering but the 'erosion' begins to gnaw away at the theme already from the first variation. Imagine a vast gallery of Handel portraits in which Georg Friedrich appears at first fully recognizable but then the 'disfiguration' sets in and

Zwei Duette für Violine und Klavier - Two Duets for Violin and Piano-?They are in a light style intended more for use in the home than for concert performance?. Thus Smetana described these two duets in which he memorialised his Bohemian homeland. It is a fact though scarcelybelievable that Smetana had by this time already been deaf for two years. The pieces were popular from the outset: Smetana was able to demand a high price for them and even to play off several aspiringpublishers against each other. The duets are not technically over-demanding and attract by means of their joyful character and powerful melodies.

for Soprano and Piano Vocal/Piano Score. Par ADOLPHE BRUCE. Water Songs is a group of six songs about water in various forms, from rain to the human brain. The poems range from the lyrical poetry of Katherine Barrett Swett, Emily Dickinson, and James Joyce to a comical verse by Shakespeare, a spiritual meditation by the Persian poet Rumi, and a thought-provoking list of water facts and statistics. Written especially for wonderful soprano Angel Blue after Bruce Adolphe had discovered she had been frequently already performing some of his other works (including Valley Girl in Love from his song cycle A Thousand Years of Love). Angel gave the world premiere on May 15, 2021 with Bryan Wagorn on piano in a concert offered by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. / Date parution : 2022-04-01/ Recueil / Soprano et Piano

A selection of pieces of fascinating and, at the same time, important styles of music from different countries should further intensify the already present interest.

The pieces are intended for modern ensemble instruction, in flexible instrumentation, and, thus, can be employed in a variety of ways. Aside from a play-along version, the CD also contains an ensemble version with instruments typical of the respective style of music. Additionally, the instrumental parts can be found on the CD.
