Minor: Triads. Par ORFF CARL / KEETMAN GUNILD. Carl Orff devoted much of his life to the development of a philosophy of Music for Children, based on his belief that music is the natural outcome of speech, rhythm and movement. His ideas and pioneering work have had a major influence on music and dance education throughout the world and today that work continues under the guidance of leading teachers and educators in many countries. The five basic German volumes of 'Music for Children' by Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman were published between 1950 and 1954. Edition have since been published in Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Ghana, Great Britain (including a special Welsh edition), Greece, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latin-America, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan and the USA. In 1952 the first edition in translation appeared, an English language adaptation by Doreen Hall and Arnold Walter for their Canadian and American students. A few years later, Margaret Murray independently developed a version (1957-1966), essentially to fulfil the needs of United Kingdom teachers. Inevitably the considerable growth of Orff-Schulwerk in the United States led to the publication of the American Edition (1977) to satisfy the requirements of a different educational system and national heritage. Orff-Schulwerk: Music for Children has proved itself to be a stimulating source of material for music teaching. Carl Orff's fundamental educational ideas have revitalized music education in nursery schools, at all levels of primary and secondary education and in special music schools, based on the concepts that: - music, dance and language are inter-related and animated through rhythm. - when children discover, invent, improvise and compose, their experience of music is intensified. These creative activities are complementary to those of interpreting and listening to music. - all who take part are encouraged to contribute, not only vocally but also instrumentally. - the Orff approach to music education is many sided; it is concerned with practical music-making, it provides fundamental experiences and it lays the foundation for a comprehensive musical training. - movement games and activities for body awareness in space, time and flow, lead to movement improvisation and dance forms. - music and dance have been notated in many different ways in history. Various ways of writing down sounds and music, as well as playing from and interpreting different kinds of sources are being explored. Today, countless teachers and institutions are using these ideas. More and more teachers look for ways of invovling their students in active music making. In particular, they seek to challenge their pupils' creativity by the use of music, dance and speech - as media of human expression - as a foundation of all education. A prerequisite for work in Orff-Schulwerk is the artistic and pedagogical training of teachers. The Orff Institute was founded in 1961 as a Department of the 'Mozarteum', in Salzburg, Austria. Training offered includes a four-year diploma course, a two-year post-graduate course, and a one-year-course in English. At the opening of the Orff Institute in Salzburg in 1963, Carl Orff ended his speech with a quotation from Schiller: 'I have done my part, now do yours.' That challenge has been taken up by teachers worldwide. Hall/Walter Edition Based on Volumes 1, 2 and 4 of the original German Edition 'musik für Kinder', english adaption with additional material by Doreen Hall and Arnold Walter./ Recueil / Voix, Flûte à Bec et Percussion

Following the very successful piano method published in two volumes between 1958 and 1962 the three-volume European Piano Method represents a new textbook which takes into account the development of modern piano pedagogy.7 Winning Features of the Emonts Method:1 Songs from many European countries2 Pupils begin to play without music notation3 Improvisation and playing on the black keys4 Development of listening skills and aural awareness5 Simple and logical learning structure6 Lots of duets7 Attractive full-colour illustrationsVolume 3The third volume of The European Piano Method is not strictly speaking a piano method but rather a collection of meterial and suggestions forthe advanced tution of now slightly older players.The author has therefore concentrated on selecting pieces from the vast wealth of the piano repertoire and grouping them according to specific structural criteria. With this approach technical aspects (playing chord thirds sixths and other intervals) go hand in hand with musical themes (expressive touch extending rhythmic awareness cantabile playing with pedal). These developmental processes should suffuse each other: in the technical procedures on the one hand control over quality of tone clarity and articulation should not falter; the pieces from the piano repertoire on the other hand should gain creative power through everincreasing technical skills.The appendix of Volume 3 contains further 'yellow pages' with ideas for improvisation. the subjects are: Ostinato Bass Patterns Song Accompaniement Completing Melodies Improvising over Chord Progressions Seventh Chords Introduction to Jazz Harmony.

Par JOHANNSEN KAY. 'The Great Wall? developed out of an improvisation, a homage to the Great Wall of China. Two motifs dominate in the work, which requires a three-manual organ: a two-measure ostinato in the pedal, and an oriental-sounding melody found on the manuals, in the basic shape and in the variations. The music leads seamlessly from an atmospheric picture into a rhythmically-driven crescendo, is interrupted by a 'storm? fantasy before ending, after a second upsurge, in a radiant fortissimo. The dynamics and articulation are given very precisely in the score. The registration markings relate to the four-manual Mühleisen organ in the Stiftskirche Stuttgart, and are intended as a guide for performance. This thrilling work, which recalls Ravel's 'Bolero? at certain moments, communicates directly with a wide range of audiences./ Répertoire / Orgue

Le Guide des genres de la musique occidentale présente - au sein de 331 entrées - les genres principaux du concert (symphonie, concerto, sonate, etc.), de la musique vocale (opéra, Lied, chanson, etc.), de la danse (ballet, menuet, ragtime, etc.), de la musique religieuse (messe, Kyrie, choral, etc.) ou de la musique médiévale (organum, trope, séquence, etc.).
Il définit aussi les genres liés à la pratique musicale (musique de chambre, musique de film, improvisation, etc.), à des principes spécifiques de composition musicale (fugue, ostinato, thème et variations, etc.), à des états d'esprit musicaux (citations, humour, etc.), sans oublier les nombreux genres peu connus et pourtant passionnants (ranz des vaches, cris, charivari, jeux de dés de composition musicale, etc.). Il tente de rendre compte de l'extraordinaire inventivité humaine dans ce domaine, dessine au fil des pages une foisonnante histoire de la musique et met en lumière ce qui fait que chaque genre est comme un organisme vivant et incarné. C'est ainsi qu'il éclaire leur évolution, leurs variantes, leurs différentes fonctions, les effectifs vocaux ou instrumentaux employés au cours des âges, les compositeurs qui les ont illustrés, et qu'il aborde d'innombrables oeuvres, maîtresses ou plus en retrait, mais toutes significatives, invitant à la découverte d'un inépuisable gisement de compositions.
Unique en son genre, destiné aussi bien à la brève consultation qu'à la recherche approfondie, au simple amateur de musique qu'au mélomane averti, à l'apprenti musicien qu'à l'interprète confirmé et au musicologue, cet ouvrage est un usuel au sens fort du terme. / Partition /

Edgar Knecht is a jazz pianist who has created his own unique style. His début CD ?Good Morning Lilofee? (with four-piece combo) conquered the clubs and earned him invitations to international festivals. His treatment of the original melodies is refreshingly different from standard jazz arrangements - it is characterized by a free perception of the tunes varied rhythms as well as unconventional harmonies. The same recipe for success underlies his second CD ?Dance On Deep Waters? with which the Edgar Knecht Quartet is again going on tour with many gigs lined up for spring and summer.All eight of the songs in our edition offer agreeable andstimulating literature outside the classical and jazz pigeonholes for pianists everywhere whether or not they know German folksongs. Tunes such as ?Es freit der wilde Wassermann? or ?Die Gedanken sind frei? gain a wholly new quality and pizzazz in his arrangements. Though based on the original songs the pieces go far beyond them in form harmony and rhythm thereby turning the originals into top-quality jazz ballads. All the pieces have suggestions for improvised passages usually with chords and written-out ostinato bass lines.All the pieces are recorded on a CD of the same name with Edgar Knecht at the Piano accompanied by his trio of Bass Drums and Percussion.

Alegre is a Spanish word meaning “joyful.” Utilizing the style of a Latin groove the piece is a showcase for rhythmic dexterity. It also demonstrates the inextricable link in Latin American cultures betweenmusic and dance. Tania León incorporates the stylistic elements of ostinati with off-beat accents and improvisation to create a brilliant piece that excites both mind and body.
