“Born in 1961, French composer Nicolas Bacri began learning the piano at age seven before entering the Paris Conservatoire. Bacri's career has seen him winning many prizes for his compositions and with Melodies of Melancholy composed as recently as 2012, he remains a prolific composer. Bacri's catalogue contains a wide variety of compositions, from 8 String Quartets to 6 Symphonies. Melodies of Melancholy for Soprano and Piano, Opus 119a, is made up of four songs using the lyrics of Alvaro Escobar Molina, a Colombian writer who currently resides in Paris. The songs are; 1) To the Sea, 2) Hush, my Child, 3) Some Say, and 4) Only. With the volume beginning with the lyrics in French, English, German or Spanish, Bacri's Melodies of Melancholy is highly versatile and makes for an exciting performance work for advanced Sopranos.”.

Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) wrote the first of his CINQ MÉLODIES POPULAIRES GRECQUES (Five Greek Folk Melodies) in 1904 at the urgent request of Pierre Aubry, who wished to illustrate a lecture he was giving on Greek folksong. Initially given five folksongs from which to choose, Ravel supplied a piano accompaniment for them in only thirty-six hours. Having impressed those who supplied the original five, three more were produced, which Ravel also quickly set to piano accompaniment, in a style imitative of the Mediterranean lands, but remaining distinctly French in its execution. The five melodies in this collection were selected from those eight. Ravel had started orchestrating all five as well, completing two, leaving Manuel Rosenthal to complete the remaining three. Songs in the collection: I. Le Réveil de la Mariée (Wake Up, My Dear), II. Là-bas, vers l'église (Out There, Where the Church Tower), III. Quel galant m'est comparable (Which Gallant Can Compare With Me?), IV. Chanson des cueilleuses de lentisques (Song of the Lentisk Gatherers), and V. Tout gai! (Be Gay!). The Ravel/Rosenthal orchestrations have been edited by Clinton Nieweg in an edition available from E.F. Kalmus.

These products are currently being prepared by a new publisher. While many items are ready and will ship on time, some others may see delays of several months.

Ce petit recueil pedagogique, destine en priorite aux enfants de 5 a 13 ans, est compose de 31 morceaux a la fois faciles et tres progressifs. L'idee ici est de securiser les jeunes debutants, en proposant un travail fluide et coherent, qui leur permettra d'acquerir rapidement une experience serieuse sur !'instrument, tout en developpant le plaisir de jouer. Grace au CD qui accompagne cet ouvrage, ii sera possible pour chacun de progresser tout en se distrayant. Chaque morceau y est en effet presente a deux reprises, une fois pour la demonstration et une autre sous forme de playback, sans !'instrument soliste, afin de donner la possibilite de jouer avec l'accompagnement d'untas d'autres musiciens. Cet ouvrage sera aussi !'occasion de decouvrir des morceaux de styles tres differents, offrant ainsi a l'enfant un panorama aussi large que varie des musiques actuelles et d'epoque : chansons, petits morceaux de jazz, de ragtime, de blues, de rock, oeuvres inedites ... Sont concern es ici tous les instruments solistes, a savoir la flute (a bee et traversiere), le saxophone, la trompette, la clarinette, la harpe, le xylophone, le vibraphone, le hautbois, l'accordeon, le violon, le basson, la guitare, la main seule au clavier et meme la voix (le chant).
