Recorded by the Clash in 1982, this catchy rock hit has maintained a steady presence in pop culture with TV advertising, and most recently featured prominently in the hit series Stranger Things. The moderate tempo and solid scoring make this one perfect for dance features.

Opening with a sense of solemn reverence and anticipation, this highly energetic work takes place in France during the Middle Ages. As a knight sets up camp in front of a bridge, the battles begin when other knights try to gain passage. Driving rhythms represent the energy of battle while a wide array of percussion mimics the clash of distant swords and battle cries. Eventually, both themes are juxtaposed before a final victorious statement emerges. Intense!

Bartók's Mikrokosmos has been one of the milestones in pedagogical piano repertoire for 80 years - and yet it is also far more than a classical piano primer. These 153 piano pieces, organized in ascending order of difficulty, engage not only with technical aspects of piano playing but also with the fundamentals of composition - from Imitation and Inversion, Ostinato, and Free Variations, concerning compositional technique, to mood pieces and pieces with programmatic ideas such as Notturno, Boating, From the Diary of a Fly, or the famous Six Dances in Bulgarian Rhythm. Mikrokosmos first appeared in 1940 in six volumes. Based on volume 40 of the Bartók CompleteEdition published in 2020(Z. 15040), the present Urtext edition offers the series gathered in three volumes. This edition includes Bartók's preface, exercises, and notes written for the first edition. Furthermore, it also features a preface and comments by the editor, which not only discuss the genesis and the compositional sources but also provide performers, teachers and pupils alike, with authentic and detailed information about Bartók's notation and the specific performing problems of Mikrokosmos.

The title says it all with this aggressively scored piece by Larry Clark that a young band can really dig into. Some unusual percussion effects are called for and Clash and Roar employs a modern harmonic structure and rhythmic energy, which will have considerable appeal to young players. This will be a great piece for festival/contest use. Key: C Minor Duration: 3'.

Differenzen oder sogar Konflikte zwischen unterschiedlichen Kulturen, Generationen und asthetischen Grundauffassungen spielen heute in fast allen Kultursegmenten eine nicht unerhebliche Rolle. In wachsendem Masse gilt dies auch fur den Bereich der Gegenwartsmusik. Dieser erscheint insgesamt pluralistischer, aber zugleich widerspruchsvoller als fruher - und er bezieht sich zunehmend auf Diskussionen der Gesamtkultur oder sogar auf globalere politische Fragen. <> versammelt Vortrage von Joanna Bailie, Michael Dartsch, Christian Gruny, Jorn Peter Hiekel, Johannes Kreidler, Wolfgang Lessing, Sarah Nemtsov, Sergej Newski, Rainer Nonnenmann und Amila Ramovic, die diese bei der 71. Fruhjahrstagung des Instituts fur Neue Musik und Musikerziehung in Darmstadt vom 5. bis 8. April 2017 gehalten haben.

Holiday cheer takes a time-out in Matt Conaway’s humorous tale of Christmas carolers who just can’t agree on which song to sing. A series of interruptions, interjections, and intrusions breaks down into an all-out argument until the musicians find common ground in a song that will always be popular this time of year. A great way to add some humor to your winter concert!

Perseus is the famous Greek hero who saved Princess Andromeda,as she was about to be sacrificed to the sea monster Kraken. SatoshiYagisawa was inspired by the story of Perseus, which was madefamous in the 1980’s movie Clash of the Titans. The music is full ofdrama and it is easy to imagine the dark underworld as monstersbattle to survive. The members of your band can sing the choirparts, adding to the fun of this epic tale! Satoshi Yagisawa werd voor zijn compositie ge nspireerd door de film Clash of the Titans, die is gebaseerd op de mythe van de Griekse held Perseus. Dirigent Yasuhara zei over Perseus: “De mogelijkheden voor de jongeblazers zijn eindeloos. Het is een groot genoegen om ze in aanraking te zien komen met een prachtige compositie en ze samen te zien groeien door middel van muziek.†Perseus ist eine Auftragskomposition einer japanischen Schule mit einer großen Gesangstradition. Getreu dieser Tradition schrieb Yagisawa ein sehr gesangliches, träumerisches Thema für sein Werk über Perseus, welcher der griechischen Sage zufolge in einem Kampf gegen ein Seeungeheuer die Prinzessin Andromeda rettete. Vom Kinofilm Kampf der Titanen inspiriert, schuf Yagisawa ein dramatisches Werk mit Gesangeinlagen (von einem Chor oder Musikern zu singen), das tiefen Eindruck hinterlassen wird.Cette composition développe un thème éthéré de texture chorale. Satoshi Yagisawa a choisi d’illustrer Persée, une constellation qui doit son nom au célèbre héros grec qui délivra la princesse Andromède, offerte en sacrifice au monstre marin Cetus (ou Kraken). Pour ce faire, Satoshi Yagisawa s’est largement inspiré du film britannique Le Choc des Titans (1981) du réalisateur Desmond Davis, avec une musique dramatique qui devrait convenir de nombreuses formations.

About William Walton Edition
In March 2014 Oxford University Press published the last volume in its magnificent William Walton Edition, the only complete critical edition of a 20th-century British composer's oeuvre. All 24 volumes are handsomely printed and bound. Walton's entire output is now available to scholars and performers in a definitive and fully practical edition, based on the form in which the composer ultimately wished his music to be performed. The general editor, David Lloyd-Jones - the eminent conductor, English music specialist, and founder of Opera North - invited a world-class expert to edit each volume. Carefully researched introductory essays place the works in their historical context and in the composer's oeuvre, and there are full critical notes.

Prog ramme Note Poul Ruders WIND-DRUMMING WIND-DRUMMING was written in 1979 on a commission from The Danish Percussion Ensemble. The piece is a clash of two kinds of sound-associations, the mystic, exotic impact of Latin-American drumming, and the more well dressed reputation of Western concert-instruments, in this case a wind-quintet (w. electric flute). The two instrumental camps either melt into one soft humming ritual or are split wide apart, the winds tearing their way through the undergrowth of rainforest-drumming. There is more than one way of getting on to WIND-DRUMMING: obviously it is about the confrontation of two incongruent ways of living, a lament on the damage done tothe tropical rainforests of the world by modern civilisation. One can hear it plainly as a direct rhythm-show, a downright number or a joyous homage to the most exiting kind of folkloristic music at all: the carnal spell of the Brazilian Samba. Poul Ruders.

The sounds of ancient Mexico come alive in this thrilling work with powerful percussion writing to tell the story of this Mayan city at the peak of its power. Following a chaotic opening, the piece weaves artfully through a series of cascading bell-tone passages with clashing harmonies. An ideal way to introduce students to mild dissonance in an intense and epic work!

I fell in love with the remarkable singing of the Tenores di Bitti on hearing their recordings as a student. Their uniquely intense vocal timbre, their harmony, which seemed pure and rough at once, and the sense that this music was, at root, not so much about performance as simply being together in the world, in a community of spirit. At the time, I had no intention of using this music to my own creative ends, but now, here we are: Sardinian Songbook is the second in a cycle of works for the Ligeti Quartet, all based on transcriptions of music from different throat-singing traditions. Like string quartets, the tenores usually sing in groups of four voices, but being free from instruments they stand very close together enabling the resonances of their voices to blend and interact in a special way. The quartet, of course, can only sit so close before their bows clash, so I have chosen instead to reflect this physical closeness inversely, by getting the players to stand increasingly far from one another as the piece progresses. In so doing, the initial state of sonic blend gives way to hocketing lines, opening up the sense of space.Christian Mason, 2018 The four movements may be played separately or as a collection. If played together the following order should be observed (see table of contents).World premiere: Sheffield/UK, Firth Hall, April 14, 2018, Commissioned by Ligeti Quartet.
