Great performers have proven that the trumpet can be successfully used for playing not only classic music, but also symphonic or chamber music from the classical, romantic or modern period just as well as any other musical instrument. No longer is contemporary repertoire considered unfit for the trumpet. Every sincere instrumentalist needs a regular study program. A daily practice of technical exercises and etudes is necessary for improving and maintaining the desired results. Regularly playing works of music should be the aim of every musician, amateur as well as professional. The best keys have been carefully chosen for trumpet and therefore many songs are not in the keys in which they were originally written. Also a number of other adaptations have been introduced to make the music more suitable for performance on the trumpet in B flat. The structure of the music has not been altered. Composers include: Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Praetorius, Corrette, Mozart, Händel, Bach, Hook, Lully, Boismortier, Schumann, Rameau, Saint-Saëns, Purcell, and Martini. The piano accompaniment is available as a free download. / Trompette / 44 pages / niveau : Multiple Levels / Partition - Format: 11 X 8,5

Guitarist Travis Reuter's compositions focus on abstract forms complex rhythmic structures timbre and polytonality while continuing to explore the improviser's role in a traditional setting. His music isinspired by contemporary classical music and draws heavily on influences from the music of composers Elliott Carter Brian Ferneyhough and Jason Eckardt. Each composition experiments with combinations of form counterpoint andnew devices for improvisation. Underlying this approach is an implicit skepticism of the aesthetics of the mainstream jazz establishment and a deep hunger to integrate elements from other forward-looking genres. Reuter'sintegration of the motivic and rhythmic language of the classical modernists sets him apart from other young guitarists from the modern jazz lineage and such material drawn from outside of the jazz tradition acts as the glue thatholds this music together conceptually. This volume contains nine original compositions that give the reader insight into the compositional language of Travis Reuter.

Par DOBBINS BILL. The Stranger is titled after the novel of the same name by the French existentialist philosopher and writer Albert Camus. The piece seems to capture some of the general mood of the story, with its underlying feeling of melancholy and sense of inevitability. Since the music is written in an even eighth-note style, with either a contemporary classical or a Latin rhythmic feeling, the string section is not required to phrase in a jazz or swing style. The use of light percussion rather than a drum set makes the arrangement ideal for acoustic performance, without amplification./ Recueil / Saxophone Soprano ou Ténor, Orchestre à Cordes, Ha
