The decade between Edward Elgar’s marriage in 1889 and the publication of his famous Nimrod Variations in 1899 was possibly the happiest period of his life: he was comfortably settled into family life but the burdens of national fame had not yet begun to take their toll. His beautiful and haunting composition The Snow dates from this time: as a relatively unknown composer he was free to work on what he liked and the growing popularity of competitive choral festivals led him to write a series of part-songs of which this is undoubtedly the best-loved and most performed today. The words come from a poem by his wife Alice and the workhas been arranged here by the composer for two Sopranos two Violins and the Piano.

Par SETH F.ORTSAO JOSEL. This book, co-written by guitarist Seth F. Josel and composer Ming Tsao, provides a comprehensive survey of contemporary performance techniques on the classical guitar. It was inspired by a new generation of solo guitarists whose extraordinary technical and virtuosic skills have paved the way for a new understanding of instrumental performance practice. Detailed explanations are given for the instrument's technical potential within the historical context of traditional guitar technique. Composers will be interested in the in-depth analyses of contemporary guitar literature, featuring many examples of chamber and ensemble music. Four main chapters describe: - Techniques of the right and left hands - Special harmonies and percussive techniques - The main instruments of the guitar family and their potential - Possible ways of notating contemporary guitar literature The examples discussed in the book are complemented by an enclosed CD and detailed charts on multiphonics, bitones, and percussion techniques.

A regular guest at Europe's major contemporary music festivals, he has worked with composers of the stature of Mauricio Kagel, Helmut Lachenmann, Tristan Murail and James Tenney and has played with such leading orchestras and ensembles as the New York Philharmonic, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the Berlin Staatskapelle.
