Pian o reduction available for the first time! Joonas Kokkonen's The Hades of the Birds consists of three songs, two shorter ones framing a longer middle one. The chosen poems were by P. Mustapaa (alias Martti Haavio, 1899-1973), and their appeal lay for him in their simply unique mysticism. The music merges seamlessly with the moods of the poems, closely reacting to the textual nuances.The original Hades of the Birds was scored for orchestra. Kokkonen did not make a piano version as such because he had always conceived of it as orchestral. The importance of the orchestral element should not, however, be overemphasised, because this is a work painted in clear, delicate, water-colours, not in heavy, colourful brush-strokes. For colour was, he said, always only a secondary factor for him. Hence the piano version also seeks to bring out the essential musical substance of the work.Osat / songs:1. Taydellisyyden maassa [In the World of Perfection] (c1-g2)2. Lintujen tuonela [The Hades of the Birds] (h-g2)3. Sade [Rain] (cis1-a2).

'Nekyia' is one of the world's basic principles in the mythology of antiquity: each striving after higher values, each spiritualization and each attempt at perfection presupposes the passage through Hades. Each mountain is juxtaposed by the bottom of a valley. Light for its existence also needs darkness, as heaven needs hell. 'Nekyia' is the archetype of all religions. Orpheaus had to descend into Hades in order to gain life for Euridice. Christ had to die to bear witness of life eternal. Hence the composition 'Nekyia' consists of three parts which should be distinguished in shape and expression: part 1 with its lively rhythms stands for the physical, the material and secular, part 2 (bb 71-154) symbolises the encounter with death, part 3 ('Lux Perpetua') refers to a state of mellowness in which life and death are balanced and integrated.

Three Shades Without Angles is a piece that plays with the idea of transformation of musical shapes. When writing this piece, I was inspired by Auguste Rodin's sculpture The Three Shades, a detail sitting atop the sculptor's work The Gates of Hell, depicting a scene from Dante's The Inferno. Although my music is not representative or depictive of Dante or an image of hell, I was deeply drawn to the sinewy character of Rodin's work, its intensity, muscularity, consistency, and the way in which movement and energy is represented in his shapes. -Hannah Lash.

The ensemble work “Scattered Shades,†composed in 2014, of the Chinese composer Guoping Jia for the instrumentation flute, clarinet, violin, violoncello and piano was premiered on 21 May 2014 in Beijing at the 'Beijing Modern Music Festival,' performed by the ensemble 'Les Temps Modernes.' Although this work received its essential inspiration from ancient Chinese pen-and-ink painting, it also simultaneously documents the overcoming of a creative crisis. During an artistically difficult period, Jia assigned himself the task in 1997 to compose a study that was to supersede the compositional techniques used so far with the means of rational construction. “Scattered Shades†has recourse to this study, retracing its structure in a more profound way with a different ensemble.

Inspired by the music of Sade, a popular singer in the 1980s, this serene Latin pop jazz original, Shades of Light, features a cantabile, lyrical theme. The melody calls for a cool, mellow execution supported by tenuto accompaniment figures. The solo part should be interpreted with a good rhythmic pulse punctuated with popular music inflections. Arranged for saxophone quartet (SATB/AATB).

A beautiful new lyrical composition by a master of the style, Ed Huckeby. In addition to the use of limited ranges and minimal technical challenges, the flowing style provides a great tool for teaching legato style and phrasing, as well as balance and intonation. The creative harmonies make Shades of Gold sound much harder than it really is. Your students and audiences will LOVE the sensitive nature of the composition and will be asking for it again and again. Great music!
