Cette mise en musique d'un poème allemand par un poète inconnu (traduction anglaise par Matthias Rein) a remporté le deuxième prix au concours de composition prestigieux de la ChorVerband NRW en 2012, tout comme la mise en musique du même texte pour choeur d'hommes par Hermann Große-Schware (numéro de produit C55552).Les grappes de charme dans les voix inférieures assurent une ambiance calme et paisible dans lequel la plus haute voix de soprano se dégage. Ainsi, ce paramètre délicat est l'expression graphique vivante des mots du poème. / Choeur De Femmes (SSAAA) A Cappella

Master guitarist Al Petteway ventures into new territory with 15 Celtic-inspired, traditional, and New Age fingerstyle compositions in standard and alternate tunings. Derived from Alâ??s award-winning solo recording of the same title, each piece bears the inimitable Petteway signature of profoundly graceful, inspired innovation. Written in standard notation and tab with several pieces in alternate tunings. Al began his professional music career at the age of 11. He played guitar, drums, and string bass with a variety of rock and folk acts in the Washington D.C. area during the 60â??s, becoming a local legend by the time he went to college to study music composition in 1970. In 1977, Al took a job with The National Geographic Society. His work as Supervisor of Picture Editing for the societyâ??s Image Collection, gave him the artistic freedom to develop his own acoustic guitar style. While long recognized as one of the countryâ??s foremost bluegrass and folk sidemen, Celtic music specialty label Maggieâ??s Music signed Al in 1993 and released Whispering Stones following by The Waters and the Wild-exposing his solo acoustic guitar work to an international audience for the first time. Al left the National Geographic to become a full-time musician in the spring of 1995, just before the release of Midsummer Moon.

Simon Holt 's the man in the wind and the west moon was composed for Solo Harp in 2013, having been commissioned by The Tanza Trust. The piece takes its title from a line in a Dylan Thomas poem named 'And death shall have no dominion'. The four sections of the work see shifting harmonies throughout, with the first section repeating but also changing ever so subtly. The unique thing about the piece is that each section is dynamically different, but is left open to interpretation by the player. The man in the wind and the west moon was first performed on the 2nd of June 2014 at Milton Court Concert Hall in London by Alex Rider. The piece lasts around 7minutes, and the bottom C and D strings should be tuned to C# and D# respectively.

Amber moons are beautiful and rare full moons, created when the sun is high in the sky and directly opposite the moon. Amber Moon begins with an opening fanfare, then moves into the first theme based on this fanfare. A second statement of the theme is repeated softly, followed by a lyrical secondary theme in the woodwinds. Variations follow this statement, and cyclically, like the comings and goings of the Moon and Sun, the piece concludes with a return to the initial theme.Amber moons are very beautiful and rare full moons, created when the sun is high in the sky and directly opposite the moon. They appear unusually large and low on the horizon with a deep, rich honey color and are believed to be signs of blessing and good luck.  Amber Moon begins with an opening fanfare, then moves into a first theme based on this fanfare. A second statement of the theme is repeated softly, followed by lyrical second theme in the woodwinds. Variations follow this statement and a return to theme one concludes the piece.I enjoyed writing this piece and hope your students will enjoy playing these contrasting styles and that you will find the piece beneficial in teaching important musical concepts.Peter Terry, 2018.
