Easy To Intermediate Arrangements. The present booklet contains a sheet music collection of pieces from the chorale literature of the Renaissance and the Romantic period and is intended for group instruction. Concerted vocal music is particularly well suited for the flute ensemble, since when playing the flute the melodic quality is - similar to singing - essentially based upon breathing. This enables the flutist to maintain a natural flow during his performance. Since there is very little original literature for the flute ensemble, a pedagogue is often required to draw on arrangements in which the lowest voices are frequently comprised of non-flute accompanying motifs. In chorale music, all voices are equally employed in a voice-leading manner. The phrasing slurs depend upon the text. The breathing signs in some cases only serve to clarify the musical line in general and are not to be used for strong breathing. The arrangements are created for flute ensembles with four voices. In each case the lowest voice can also be performed with an alto flute as an alternative. An according part is attached to the edition. Ideal for group teaching Choral music from the Renaissance and Romantic eras arranged for four flutes All parts are melodic and are musically equal Practice at home using the Play-Along CD which includes all parts / Niveau : Facile / Recueil / 4 Flûtes Traversières

The Art of Acoustic Blues Guitar - The Basics. Whether your favourite blues guitarist is Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Blind Blake, John Lee Hooker, Big Bill Broonzy, or Mississippi John Hurt, studying the basic techniques presented in this program is the first step toward being able to capture the essence of their traditional styles. In this book, Woody Mann shows you practical ways to develop fundamental technique and offers you insights into the musical logic of blues guitar. Woody walks you through each song, explaining the chord positions and picking techniques. He teaches blues in the keys of D, G, C, E, and A, presenting a wide selection of classic blues songs and instrumentals from the masters of blues guitar. Included in this program are the basics of the Delta blues of Robert Johnson, the ragtime style of Blind Blake (the man with the piano-playing guitar), and the music of Big Bill Broonzy, Memphis Minnie, Willie Walker, and Willie Moore. Each song illustrates how solo players approach the guitar like a piano, playing melodies and bass lines simultaneously. Developing this independent two-line picking technique enables you to get the feel, syncopation, and subtleties of the music. The songs in themselves are studies in acoustic blues technique and present the authentic elements of the acoustic blues sound and style including blues technique and ways to play off of the chords and improvise within a song. This program is recommended for beginning acoustic blues guitarists as well as electric guitarists and acoustic fingerstyle guitarists of all levels who would like to go beyond pattern picking and develop a more dynamic and syncopated sound. Woody Mann had his first schooling as a teenager in the living room of Rev. Gary Davis, the now legendary gospel and ragtime guitarist. Mann soon went on to perform and record with blues masters Son House and Bukka White as well as contemporary innovators including John Fahey. He has recorded extensively, performed throughout the world, and is widely recognized as one of the world's leading teachers and transcribers of acoustic blues music, having taught countless guitarists through his popular books and videos.

The CD reinforces good practice habits with a short verbal pedagogical comment between the practice track and performance track. It also provides an opportunity to play with a string quartet accompaniment for some of the pieces. Engaging pieces in a wide variety of compositional styles reinforce valuable concepts presented in the Lesson and Technique Book. These compositions make fine recital festival and competition repertoire for students.Some of the selections are: Fantasie by Telemann; Minuet by Haydn; Musette by Gräfe; artistic arrangements of Tales from the Vienna Woods and Musetta?s Waltz; and outstanding originals by Timothy Brown Kevin Costley Mary Leaf Edwin McLean and Kevin Olson.

Edward C Bairstow’s compositional output was somewhat hampered by a busy and useful life and the bulk of his compositions were created for the Anglican church. His setting of Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence is widely performed. This setting for The Office for Holy Communion in D is one of three settings he created for the mass. It is an effective and sensitive setting and in particular the pianissimo moment created for ‘And was made man’ and fortissimo phrase just before ‘And the third day’ leading into the double choir passage for the ascension are the work of a great talent immersed in religious understanding.Organist teacher composer and conductor Edward CBairstow (1874 1946) spent most of his professional life happily in the role of Organist at York Minster playing teaching leading the choir giving recitals writing music and works of musical pedagogy. When offered the position of Organist at Westminster Abbey Bairstow had no hesitation in declining and remaining in his native Yorkshire. He is best known as a teacher having had a remarkable number of students and for his extreme straightforwardness and high standards for himself his singers and the composers whose work he chose to perform or present.

Alexander Borodin/Anatoly Lyadov-This collection contains arrangements by one of the leading guitarists of the new generation Rovshan Mamedkuliev. Rovshan invites Guitar lovers to explore Russian music of the 19th century. Alexander Borodin(1833 - 1887) member of the famous Mighty Handful wrote his Petite Suite for the Piano. The four pieces presented in this collection barely utilize any of the Piano's idiomatic techniques. Though unfamiliar to the Guitar untilthe present day the selected miniatures are wonderfully suited to its technical and timbral capabilities especially Serenade. Thanks to the clearly defined genre of Nocturne the vivid imagery of Reverie and the folk colour andbell-like melodiousness of In the Cloister the four pieces rich in quality and substance will be a valuable contribution to the Guitar repertoire.Anatoly Lyadov (1855 - 1914) used to joke that he could not standmore than five continuous minutes of music. The genius of musical miniature created his compositions to be laconic and refined in form simple yet elegant. Lyadov's contemporaries called his pieces 'tiny pearls of finestfinishing' and compared the composer himself to a jeweler. His three preludes from op.36 op.39 and op.40 will become a fulfilling experience for the guitarist as the music explores the rich palette of the 'mysterious Russiansoul' ranging from stormy aspirations to dreamlike elegiac moods - expressed by the composer in but a few sounds.

for piano and woodwind quintet. Par JALBERT PIERRE. Wind Dances is in seven short contrasting movements, each containing dance-like rhythms, both slow and fast. Having two sons who both play the clarinet, I've heard many a woodwind quintet, so I've been wanting to write for the medium for quite a while. In this instance, I also added my own instrument, the piano. The work opens with a fast movement containing driving rhythms in the winds, which are then answered by the piano. The second movement features colorful effects in the winds and piano (slap tongue, air sounds, muted tones) leading to a long extended lyrical line, gradually orchestrated to involve all the winds. The third movement is a dynamic scherzo, with a separate middle section similar to a traditional Trio section. The slowly unfolding fourth movement is the longest of the piece and anchors the middle of the work. The fifth movement is a kind of echo of the third movement, though this time the dynamic scherzo is high and light, rather than low and dark. The sixth movement is related to the second movement, and is basically a solo cadenza for the clarinet, with a few accompanimental gestures in the piano. The seventh and final movement reprises material from the first movement, this time with new and driving dance-like gestures added. - Pierre Jalbert / Niveau : Avancé / Répertoire / Flûte Traversière (Piccolo), Hautbois, Clarinette,
