Die Besetzung Blockflöte mit Cembalo oder Violoncello stehen zudem in vielen Konzerten mit barocker Basso-Continuo-Musik zur Verfügung. Sie mit einem unverwarteten farblichen Kontrapunkt aufzulockern, und damit die Aufmerksamkeit des Publikums aufs Neue zu fokussieren, dürfte mit dieser Ausgabe gelingen. / Flûte A Bec Soprano Et Basse Continue

The last decades we humans have witnessed a significant number of disturbing developments. If we look at the direct and persistent destructive influence of humans on nature: air and water quality are reducing, soils are depleting, crops are short of pollinators, coasts are less protected from storms, deforestation, the degradation of land, loss of biodiversity and pollution. In stark contrast we find the intelligence and boundless creativity of humans: what about all the high technological advancements? What lies ahead in the realm of Artificial Intelligence? Will we let machines make human decisions? What ethical issues arise there? This composition reflects the desperation and urgency of the human need for action. The music draws inspiration from the brutal natural forces that ravage our world as a direct consequence of human failure and selfishness. Are we heading towards a 'Judgment Day'? Or will humanity find a way to reverse negative trends towards a more livable, peaceful, and joyful environment for humans, animals, and nature? To underscore this message, composer Peter Knockaert opted for a highly classical idiom that has been used by many composers in classical music: the 'Dies Irae'. Traditionally, the Dies Irae is the third part of a requiem (funeral mass). The text used in 'Judgment DayÂ? (for optional choir) is coming from the original Latin text.

UPC: 888680932879. 6.75x10.5x0.029 inches. Abraham Lincoln/Daniel McDavitt.
Daniel McDavitt has composed an exquisite trilogy using texts from three American greats: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Abraham Lincoln, and William Wordsworth. Although they can be performed individually, they are most powerful as a set, each with flute obbligato. The first ââ¬Åmemoryââ¬Â from Emerson is about music, and is joyful and buoyant. The second ââ¬Åmemoryââ¬Â is from Lincoln, and is more reflective about childhood. The final ââ¬Åmemoryââ¬Â by Wordsworth combines the thoughts of the previous two in a mature understanding. A delightful trilogy for high school choirs.

ISBN 9790006564194. 27 x 19 cm inches. Text Language: Swedish, English. Text: Kerstin Dillmar.
“Triptyk†(“Triptychâ€) and “MörkblÃ¥ tillit†(“Dark Blue Trustâ€) have been written by hospital chaplain/author Kerstin Dillmar.In her work she often meets people who walk in the shadow of death and her dealings and thoughts about this are a central part of her writing. This is most clearly seen in “MörkblÃ¥ tillit†whose key message is to trust that we will be safe and secure after passing away in sleep. Jansson’s intention with the music was to enhance this feeling of comforting trust without taking away the seriousness of the subject. “Triptyk†on the other hand describes a journey within a person in three stages which moves from despair, “God, my God why have I forsaken myself?â€, through to hope and faith that God is within.The music depicts these stages, starting with a dark-searching tonality, then describing the simple beauty of trust through to a joyful expectation of hope and ending with a strong conviction.
