Par SPARKE PHILIP. Harlequin was commissioned by, and is dedicated to, euphonium virtuoso David Childs. The piece takes as its inspiration the happy and sad masks which symbolise the Commedia dell'Arte (which features Harlequin as one of its main characters) and comprises two movements, a slow modal ballad followed by a frenetic faster movement. A fantastic showpiece for euphonium and band. / Niveau : 5 / oeuvre solo et Orchestre / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie et Baryton ou Tuba

Harlequin de Franco Cesarini se caractérise par une étonnante succession de lignes mélodiques ascendantes et descendantes qui accompagnées par de solides motifs rythmiques apportent à la pièce une note de fraîcheur et de légèreté. L?œuvre marie avec élégance et finesse la brillance des cuivres et la virtuosité des bois. La pièce est expressive vive et colorée à l?image du personnage dont elle porte le nom Arlequin ou la mosaïque de couleurs sonores.

An Expedition into Czech Piano Music
A collection of pieces for early intermediate pianists
- Cross-section of Czech piano literature from the 18th to the late 20th century
- Works selected and provided with fingering by piano virtuoso Ivo Kahánek
- Pieces of easy to moderate technical difficulty
The leading Czech pianist Ivo Kahánek has long devoted himself to training young musicians. With this album of recital pieces he offers young pianists quite easy pieces by well-known Czech composers.
The collection provides a cross-section of Czech piano literature from the 18th to the late 20th century. It contains pieces from the Czech classical period (Benda and Dusík), 19th-century and ?fin-de-siècle? romanticism (Vorí?ek, Smetana, Dvorák, Fibich, Suk and Novák) as well as pieces of various styles from the latter half of the 20th century (Vre?tál, Kabelác, Eben, Slavický, Dlouhý and Sluka). Fingering has been supplied by the editor to support pianists in their playing. All the pieces appear in their original form; they have neither been arranged nor adapted.

This collection of 15 pieces, transcribed and edited by the Howells scholar Jonathan Clinch and published for the first time to coincide with Matthew Schellhorn?s recording of the complete piano music by Howells for Naxos, reveals a previously neglected aspect of this celebrated English composer.
The pieces chart the musical development of Howells, from his earliest known work The Arab?s Song, written when he was 16, to the Petrus Suite, completed in his 80s, as well as demonstrating his fascination with French music (Phantasy, Harlequin Dreaming) and the Tudor period (Pavane and Galliard).
The volume also includes the moving tribute to his friend and fellow composer Finzi: his rest. Comprising a wide array of pieces from characterful miniatures to more substantial suites, the collection will appeal to Howells devotees and lovers of 20th century English music, as well to as anyone seeking fresh and distinctive piano repertoire. / Partitions classique / Piano - instruments à clavier / Piano / NOVELLO

Par SPARKE PHILIP. Scenes from a Comedy n’est pas une oeuvre à programme, mais illustre plusieurs scènes de pantomime dans la tradition de la Commedia dell’Arte. L’ Ouverture est courte, mais saisissante. Arlequin entre en scène sur une fanfare jouée par deux trompettes ( Harlequin’s Entrance ). La clarinette révèle ensuite les friponneries du personnage. Arlequin danse une valse tendre et subtile au bras de sa bien-aimée Colombine (flûte solo). Le jeu de pantomine se dissout dans un finale puissant qui progresse vers une danse champêtre ( Finale and Peasant’s Dance ). / Niveau : 5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

for Euphonium and Concert Band. Par SPARKE PHILIP. Scaramouche ergänzt thematisch eine Reihe von Werken, die Philip Sparke in Anlehnung an die Tradition des italienischen Improvisationstheaters Commedia dell’arte schrieb. Wie zuvor Harlequin bringt Scaramouche die kontrastiven Stimmungen von Pathos und Komödie zum Ausdruck. Mit einer ausdrucksvollen Ballade und einem lebhaften Vivace gelang es Sparke, sowohl die lyrischen als auch die technischen Qualitäten des Euphoniums auszunutzen. / Niveau : 4 / oeuvre solo et Orchestre / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie et Baryton ou Tuba
