Fantasies

SKU: HL.48183381

German baroque composer, Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767) was a self-taught multi-instrumentalist, becoming a composer against his family's wishes. However, his musical career saw him hold important positions and to this day, he remains a major composer. His sublime 12 Fantasies for Flute is superbly arranged for Recorder by Jean-Claude Veilhan. Telemann composed his 12 Fantasies for solo Flute in 1732-33 in Hamburg. During this time, he composed a wealth of solo instrumental music, including those for Harpsichord and Violin. Veilhan's arrangement for Recorder of Telemann's 12 Fantasies includes adaptions for the instrument, such as key signatures and performance directions. Vailhan's rearrangement for the Recorder of Telemann's popular 12 Fantasies makes the popular genre more accessible and versatile..

THREE FANTASIES is a fantastical escape from reality. The first fantasy (“Prelude”) features a luscious and expressive melody accompanied by dark, romantic harmonies. The following fantasy (“Cosmic Lullaby”) begins and ends in a serene and introspective manner, with a tumultuous and harmonically rich middle section. To end the set, “Intermezzo” provides reflection and a lively resolution. Gardels’ profound lyricism and masterful piano writing make this set enjoyable for any pianist to perform at home or in the concert hall.
The three fantasies here were written during the height of the 2020-21 Coronavirus lockdowns – a time everyone will forever recall as a period of the world standing still and experiencing new degrees of isolation, inactivity, and apprehension.A fantasy is a genre to which a composer can turn as a respite from the constraints of form, tradition, and expectation. What the genre may lack in structure and design it makes up for with spontaneity, capriciousness, and improvisatory musical gesture.I hope performers feel free to take a similarly “fantastical” approach to the interpretation of these works, seeing the score and notation as a point of departure rather than arrival, and proceed with unabashed freedom of spirit in their playing.

These three fantasies for organ are solo versions of the three movements of Frahm's Organ Concerto No. 1 (#80101370). As solo pieces they can be played as separate works (or a three-movement suite) and also form nos. 2-5 in Frahm's cycle of 10 organ solo fantasies. They are expressive pieces of varied character that are highly effective even on a small instrument; mostly for manuals only (or even with only pull-down pedals). Instrumentation: Organ. Duration: 15' Composed: 2009/12 Published by: Zimbel Press.

Stenhammar's 1895 set of three fantasies are among the finest of the Swedish composer's early-period works. They are fairly Brahms-like in their musical language, but nevertheless bear the individual stamp of this composer, whose music stands as a unique voice in a Scandinavian world dominated by figures such as Grieg and Sibelius. This new score is a digitally-restored reissue of the one first issued around 1900 by Nordisk Musikforlag of Copenhagen. Unlike so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is readable. The score is beautifully printed on large size (9 x 12) off-white stock with a quality cover, all saddle-stitched in the traditional sheet music binding. As with all PLP scores a percentage of each sale is donated to the amazing online archive of free music scores and recordings, IMSLP - Petrucci Music Library.

The four parts of this fresh work, Mexican Fantasies by Mike Curtis, are delicately interwoven. Alternating between melancholy-solemn and lively, the movements tell of festivities under the starry sky, of wonderful friendships, or even a tale of the queen of the tropics.
