Transcribed by popular brass arranger Robert King this edition of Giovanni Gabrieli's Sonata pian'e forte provides an exciting performance piece for a large Brass Ensemble. Being one of the most influential musicians during the shift from the Renaissance to the Baroque era it is no secret that the composer leaned himself primarily to vocal and sacred works. Sonata pian'e forte means an instrumental piece using soft and loud dynamics. Composed in 1597 this piece is composed in the Venetian polychoral style and would have been written to be played in Catholic services at St. Mark's in Venice.King's arrangement of this historical work is indispensable for Brass Ensembles.

for Alto & Tenor Saxopone. Par KOCH CLAUS HENRY. Though I consider myself to be primarily a jazz performer, classical music - above all instrumental baroque music and Viennese Classicism - have always been very important to me. For quite a long time, particular elements characterizing these styles of music have occasionally been integrated in some of my jazz compositions. With these pieces, I am now presenting my very first purely classically inspired compositions for 2 woodwind instruments. The duets have been designed as both performance pieces as well as educational music for teaching ensemble playing. I have not intended composing music of a certain style, but have rather used and integrated various elements out of my overall experience as an active listener of music. The repetitions indicated should be played on principle in order to maintain the proportions of the pieces. This edition for alto and tenor saxophone is not compatible with the edition for 2 clarinets. Claus Koch, December 2007 / Niveau : 3 / Répertoire / Saxophone Alto ou Ténor

24 Pieces For Piano. Par WOLF PETER E.. Péter Wolf (a doctoral graduate of the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest) has composed a number of large-scale compositions in recent years which have had success at the hands of distinguished performers: these include two piano concertos as well as concertos for oboe, clarinet, and violin. By entitling his newest set of pieces for piano Wolf-temperiertes Klavier, the composer was able to simultaneously indulge in wordplay based upon his surname and give a tip of the hat to German baroque master Johann Sebastian Bach. The work's likeness to Bach is not limited to its title - the manner in which a piece has been written in both major and minor keys for each tone of the chromatic scale is blatantly inspired by Bach. In the preface to this publication, Wolf offers the following insights: ''I think I managed to find expressive titles. The first piece, Epiclesis (a prayer for inspiration, patience, and support), was heard from above: I was able to work continuously and without inhibitions. The works could be born in every key, until the last one, the Epilogue, was completed. When I finally finished inscribing the pitches of Bach's name, I admit, a little shiver went through me.'' Of the character pieces, all were completely new with the exceptions of one being previously written and another whose theme Wolf borrowed from one of his own stage works. Wolf-temperiertes Klavier is recommended for advanced pianists who wish to push the boundaries between musical genres, as well as classical musicians interested in the harmonic language of jazz. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Musique contemporaine / Répertoire / Piano
