Lyrical Conducting: A New Dimension in Expressive Musicianship is the latest soon-to-be hit from master musician and music educator Ed Lisk. The concepts and instructional techniques discussed here prompt new and different considerations for what teachers and conductors of instrumental music must strive for. Lyrical Conducting expands one's awareness through the beauty of musical expression and its direction for greater musical meaning. Many attempts have been made to define artistry, expression, and the mysteries of music's finest detail. This publication will lead you to this discovery through: enhancing expressive approaches to conducting, building poise and finesse into one's conducting body language in order to visually express music's lyricism, searching beyond notation to develop a unique and personal rendering of a composition, developing a performance vocabulary or reservoir for artistic considerations that will stimulate your artistic vocabulary, and sensitizing one's emotional response to shape the beauty and expressive qualities of a personal conducting interpretation.

This compelling reflection upon Jesus’ final days is viewed through His eyes and the eyes of those surrounding Him: Mary, sister of Martha; an officer to Caiaphas; Judas; Peter; Jesus Himself; Pilate; Mary, the mother of Jesus; Mary Magdalene; and Thomas. A sequence of dramatic, scripture-based monologues tells the story, alternating with Lloyd Larson’s masterfully inspired music as the “voice of the believer” responds. Flexibly conceived, this work may be presented as simply or as elaborately as you wish, depending upon your resources and preferences. Performance options range from use as a source of single anthems for your seasonal service needs to a short worship program with monologues and choruses or a special, fully staged production. It is our hope that this work will prompt your own reflections upon the great wonder and mystery of the Incarnate God Who, for the love of His people, humbled Himself, dying for our salvation and triumphing over death.

Leonard Garrison’s edition of Telemann‘s 12 FANTASIAS is a remarkable compendium of resources. Every repeated section is written out with ornaments provided on the repeats. Garrison’s prefatory sections on style elements, performance practice, and specifics of each Fantasia work in tandem with the edition to prompt elegant and historically informed performance. Garrison based his ornamentation style largely on Telemann’s Methodical Sonatas which indicate the standard notation of the melody line, with an ornamented version printed below – an invaluable window into authentic performance practice. In addition, the complete authentic Telemann manuscript is also provided in this publication, and Garrison’s recording of the 12 FANTASIAS is available on a CD from Centaur Records.

The present volume of the Complete Edition comprises a truly homogenous group: all the piano works from the Ten Piano Pieces op. 58 to the Treize Morceaux Op. 76. No doubt the best known pieces among them are the Three Sonatinas op. 67, which were played so masterfully (and were so highly esteemed) by Glenn Gould. All the pieces were written within the space of ten years, between 1909 and 1919, at a time when Sibelius was already an internationally renowned composer. He was, however, dependent on the smaller, short-term commissions and their honorariums for his livelihood. During World War I, it was impossible for Sibelius in Helsinki to maintain his contacts with the major European concert halls. This difficult situation also helped prompt the creation of the pieces written after 1914 and grouped by the composer and his Finnish publishers into the opp. 75 and 76.
