Richard Reed Parry 's Quartet For Heart And Breath is an innovative and original piece based on the performers' own bodily rhythms. This sheet music is for String Quartet (Violin/Violin/Viola/Cello). Richard Reed Parry is familiarto millions as the lead singer of rock band Arcade Fire, yet his foray into classical music is equally worthy of attention. Quartet For Heart And Breath is an experiment into using the performers' heartbeats and breathing to dictate the tempo. The performers are instructed to wear stethoscopes in order to listen to their heartbeats closely, while one complete breath corresponds to one bar and two heartbeats equal two crotchets. The result is a quiet and subtle piece, as each instrument has to play softly so as to be able to keep in time. The piece also has a naturally occurring dynamism in that the players' heart rates constantly change as the performance goes on, with each instrument falling in and out of sync sometimes culminating in a beautiful moment of all heartbeats matching each other. Interestingly, this unique aspect means that no performance will ever be the same, meaning to hear or play this composition will be a truly once in a lifetime experience. Quartet For Heart And Breath is a superbly one-of-a-kind composition by Richard Reed Parry . Commissioned by the Kronos Quartet, this piece makes for a wonderfully distinctive performance, with fascinating implications for the connection between the music and the body.

Do we breathe correctly? Do we breathe too high - meaning one-sided and insufficient chest breathing or misguided abdominal breathing - due to everyday stress or an incorrect teaching method? Breathing is an autonomous function, yet can also be influenced consciously and deliberately. 'Die Atemschule' enables everybody to recognize one's individual faults of breathing and find out what has to be done to achieve a mental and physical balance and a higher performance capacity through correct diaphragmatic breathing, i.e. breathing in the middle. The book provides singers, wind instrument players, speakers and people with respiratory diseases with an exercise programme in order to change the incorrect breathing to correct breathing, posture and support.Revised and expanded 4th edition.

In the jazz tradition the Tuba was the bass in the rhythm section up until the mid-twenties. It was then the upright bass replaced the Tuba in many ensembles as the jazz music moved north and continued to develop. After this period the Tuba's roll, as bass in the rhythm section, was at a standstill and did not develop through Swing and Bebop. It wasn't until Cool Jazz of the 1950's when the Tuba was used by Miles Davis and Gil Evans in 'Birth of the Cool' as an ensemble horn. The Tuba, like swimming, is something you can't do any longer than you can hold your breath. In order to maintain a steady beat while playing in the rhythm section I have developed a system of breathing called Pant Breathing. Using this method, the player can maintain a steady beat within the rhythm section, without losing time while taking deep breaths.

Richard Reed Parry 'S Heart And Breath Sextet For Piano Six-Hands, Violin, Viola And Violoncello. Heart And Breath Sextet Was Commissioned By The 2011 Musicnow Festival For Ymusic. ' This Piece Is Based Around The Idea Of Using The Widely Varying Internal Rhythms Of The Performers' Bodies As Performance Parameters. There Is No Actual Tempo Or Meter Built Into The Piece. The Breathing Rates Of The Players Are Used In Alternation With The Individualperformers' Heart Rates To Determine The Pace At Which All Of The Musical Material Is Played. This Requires That The Performers Generally Play Quietly And Delicately, So As To Be Able To Hear Their Heartbeats Adequately.This, In Combination With The Natural Variance Between The Different Heart Rates, Results In A Kind Of Delicate Musical Pointillism: Starts And Stops Which Are Somewhat Staggered, Parts Which Repeatedly Line Up And Fall Out Of Synch With Each Other, Different Individuals' Pulses Rising And Falling. The Piece Is Never Performed Exactly The Same Way Twice. In This Piece, The Pianists Wear Stethoscopes Positioned Over Their Hearts So That Each Can Follow His Or Her Own Heart Rate. Two Eighth Notes (Quavers) Correspond To The Two Sounds Of A Single Normal Heartbeat, And Performers Should Match As Closely As Possible The Staccato And Irregular Rhythm They Hear. The Strings Are Instructed To 'Play To Breath'; The Natural Cycle Of One Inhalation And One Exhalation, Or Vice Versa, Will Determine The Length Of The Bar (Two Quarter Notes/Crotchets) Without Any Attempt To Make It Metronomic. When One Instrument Is Designated The Leader, Their Breath Will Determine The Starts Of Phrases And The Procession From One Bar To The Next, Cuing Other Parts If Necessary. ' - Richard Reed Parry.

In this piece, the voice and the breath play an equal role in executing the musical text, as the breath is (at times) independent from the voice and equal to it in an almost contrapuntal relationship. This is not an expressive piece in the more standard way in which a singer employs all of his personality in an attempt to express emotions or other expressions of the ‘self’. It is rather a sketch using the voice and the breath like a small brush painting a line. Even though it is only a line made out of water (breath) with some color (voice), this line is actually transmitting a whole landscape.

From the Easter musical Love Took His Breath Away, Bradley Knight presents a stunning arrangement and orchestration of this song by the same title, with images of nature and witnesses responding to the crucifixion of Christ. Love Took His Breath Away provides the opportunity to consider the depth of Christ’s sacrificial death; it wasn’t the cross or the nails, but His love for us that took His breath away.
