The term ‘freygish’ is typically found in klezmer music but derives from a much older cantorial mode, also known under several other titles including the Ahava Rabbah mode, the Mode of Supplication, and Altered Phrygian mode. It is used for the setting of ‘Ahava Rabbah’, or ‘abounding love’, the Ashkenazi prayer and blessing sung during the synagogue morning services. When performed, either in synagogue or in a klezmer setting, the mode can be developed into a variety of short phrases and melodic forms. Jeremy Arden has taken this beautiful irregular scale and filtered its melodic forms through my own musical sensibilities to create a dialogue between Jewish musical traditions and the western musical canon, expressed here through the rigorous crucible of the string quartet.

Ferruccio Busoni corresponded with the publishing house Breitkopf & Hartel for over 40 years, and practically the entire correspondence more than 1,500 missives has survived. They depict the composer, arranger, editor and pianist as a witty writer, who reports with great eloquence on his many interests. His epistolary partner, in this case, is the publisher who printed nearly all of Busonis works. The dialogue is often so intense that up to 15 letters per month are exchanged. The hesitant beginning evolved into something like a friendship that gradually cooled and practically led to an estrangement at the end. While the correspondence allows us many insights into the genesis of Busonis works, it is also punctuated with remarks about the situation of contemporary music and publishing, as well as with comments on the political developments of the day.

Die einzelnen Kapitel beleuchten die verschienden Aspekte dieses faszinierenden Musikerschicksals. Ein ausfuhrliches Namenregister und vorzugliche Fotografien aus verschiedenen Lebensepochen erganzen die reprasentative Busoni-Biographie.

This hit recorded by Katy Perry is arranged here in a very effective setting for young bands by Michael Brown. Saxes state the melody in the beginning, then other sections are added in as the piece builds intensity throughout to the familiar anthem-like chorus played by the entire ensemble. Sure to be an audience pleaser.
