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).

Flex ible music-making in church worship - with choirs, organ, congregation, brass ensemble, and other instruments The new Chorbuch zum Evangelischen Gesangbuch has been published for the Reformation anniversary year 2017. It features an innovative modular principle which offers new ideas for group music-making with different church music groups in parishes. Over 60 hymns are arranged in the form of modular settings. Each arrangement can be performed by different forces: by a 4-part mixed choir (SATB), a 3-part mixed choir (Soprano, Alto, Mezzo) or a 2- to 3-part children's choir (mainly melody and descant), each with a common organ part. The arrangements of each hymn are compatible with each other, so they can be performed separately or together to accompany the congregation, or they can be sung alternately. There are also one or two ad lib upper instrumental parts which fit with all the versions. The organ part can alternately be played by the brass ensemble.

The choir book for the youth choir festival of Pueri Cantores 2023 in Munster offers a diverse selection of choral settings and songs based on the motto of the choir meeting Give Peace!. Highlights from the book include the motto song O Lord, give peace.

Chaconne (2016), for string quartet, was commissioned by the Daedalus Quartet to celebrate its 15th anniversary. The commission was supported by New Music USA, made possible by annual program support and/or endowment gifts from Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, Helen F. Whitaker Fund, and Aaron Copland Fund for Music.My music has a substantial history with Daedalus. I composed the Third String Quartet (2008) for them, and subsequently they performed my three string quartets on several occasions and recorded them brilliantly on Bridge Records (Bridge 9352: Music of Fred Lerdahl, vol. 3). Chaconne is in one movement lasting 19 minutes. It is effectively my fourth string quartet. Quartets 1-3 form a unified cycle lasting 70 minutes. When I finished the cycle, I thought I would never write again for the medium; yet I could not resist the opportunity of working again with Daedalus. The issue was how to compose another string quartet unrelated to the earlier cycle. The solution came from my solo cello piece There and Back Again (2010), which was based on a four-bar variation pattern from a 17th-century chaconne. Unlike the asymmetrical phrases and expanding variations of much of my music, the chaconne form requires symmetrical phrases and strictly periodic variations. I wished to work again with these symmetries but on a larger scale. Chaconne also differs in character and expression from the three-quartet cycle. The cycle is inward and intense, a kind of psychological excavation. Chaconne is, for the most part, transparent and playful. Many of its textures emerge from little canons, not completely unlike the rounds that children sing. Any composer who writes in chaconne form (one thinks above all of the last movement of Bach's D minor violin partita and the finale of Brahms's Fourth Symphony) is confronted with the challenge of how to create a larger form out of a constantly repeating pattern.My Chaconne grows from paired antecedent-consequent phrases, each variation lasting eight bars. The 50 variations group into three large rotations, forming three arcs of tension and relaxation, with subtle parallel connections across the rotations. Notwithstanding my attraction to chaconne form, I purposefully disguised its symmetries and periodicities in order to build an overall dramatic shape. Fred Lerdahl.

Diese Stucke, die bekannte Marchenfiguren musikalisch nachzeichnen, sind allen kleinen und grossen Freunden des Akkordeons gewidmet. Sie sollen - im Schwierigkeitsgrad leicht bis mittel gehalten - in erster Linie der Erganzung, Auflockerung und gleichzeitigen Vertiefung des Unterrichts dienen und mit dazu beitragen, durch die Freude am Spiel auch auftretende technische Schwierigkeiten zu uberwinden. Besondere Berucksichtigung fand das im Anfanger-Unterricht leider bisher fast vollstandig vernachlassigte Einzelbass- und Melodiespiel mit der linken Hand, das infolge der technischen Entwicklung des Akkordeons auch auf ausgesprochenen Klein-Instrumenten moglich ist. Damit wird - uber eine gleichwertige Ausbildung der rechten und der linken Hand - auch eine Brucke geschlagen zu den technischen Anforderungen, die die Neue Musik fur Akkordeon an den Spieler stellt. Uber die Verwendung im Unterricht hinaus konnen die kleinen Marchenbilder auch sehr gut als Vortragsstucke verwendet werden. Nur als Anregung mag darauf hingewiesen werden, dass es ohne weiteres moglich ist, einzelne Stucke - je nach Gegebenheiten - auch zu einem kleinen Zyklus zusammenzustellen.

As director of the Bavarian Radio Choir, Howard Arman has been actively engaged with international Christmas carols through various Christmas-related CD productions in the past years. This has resulted in a number of original arrangements for four- to eight-part mixed choir a cappella, shedding new light on well-known classics such as O du frohliche [O, you joyful], Stille Nacht [Silent Night] and Lasst uns froh und munter sein [Let us be happy and cheerful]. The first volume includes five Christmas carols from the German-speaking regions. They range from simple but harmonically intriguing settings such as Lieb Nachtigall, wach auf [Dear nightingale, wake up] to eight-part sound paintings with bell-like chimes as in O du frohliche and classical double choir settings such as Resonet in laudibus. The second volume includes five Christmas spirituals with English texts, forming a contrast to the solemn and festive character of the first. The choir can prove its swing and jazz qualities here; the stirring arrangements are a gain for classical Christmas concerts, too. Following the tradition of the spiritual, some settings also require soloists, which can, however, also be recruited from the choir if adequate singers are available. The first piece combines the spirituals It's a Birthday and Wasn't That a Mighty Day to form a medley, Ain't That a Rockin' gives a moment of tranquility before the likewise rousing spirituals Mary Had a Baby and Little David conclude the volume. In both volumes, Howard Arman provides a short preface in German and English, explaining the background of each piece and giving advice on performance.

Enjott Schneider's Concerto for violoncello takes up the Sumerian legend of the bird deity 'Dugud' in archaic scenes. Legend has it that Princess Emeshe was impregnated by the hermaphrodite - half eagle, half falcon - in a dream and founded with her son Almos, who had thus been conceived, the royal Hungarian dynasty.In expressive musical pictures, Schneider describes the dark-erotic struggle of impregnation as well as the chant of the unborn. Hovering above everything is the vision of life in complete freedom like a bird.The work was premiered by the Hungarian cellist Laszlo Fenyo in 2011. Thanks to the piano score written by the composer, the work can now also be studied and performed by a duo.
