Two aptitude tests designed to diagnose and measure music potential:* The only brief, longitudinally valid music aptitude tests for Grades K-6. * Crucial in helping music teachers adapt instruction to the individual musical needs of their students. * Requires no reading or music skills. The administration time is at most two 20-minute periods. Both tests have a similar design. The “Primary” test is recommended for use with younger children (K-3). The “Intermediate” test is recommended for older children or younger children who find the “Primary” test too simple. Test materials and how they work: 1. Children take the test by simply listening to a tonal cassette and a rhythm cassette. Each tape is only 12 minutes long. 2. Questions on the tape are identified on the answer sheet by pictures, not numbers or words. The children must decide whether pairs of tonal or rhythm patterns they hear sound the same or different. They indicate their choice by simply drawing a circle around the picture on the answer sheet. These tests require no reading skills. 3. The answer sheets can be corrected quickly by using scoring masks. Raw scores are directly converted to percentile ranks in the manual. 4. A profile card is used for each child for individual documentation and the interpretation of scores. The tonal and rhythm results are graphically compared for each child. 5. A class record sheet helps interpret the test scores for the entire class. 6. The manual gives complete information for administering, scoring, and interpreting test results. The manual also makes suggestions for formal and informal music instruction, and includes a discussion on the nature and description of music aptitude, as well as a comprehensive bibliography. Complete kit includes: 100 rhythm answer sheets, 100 tonal answer sheets, CD with tonal and rhythm tests, introduction to testing booklet and two research monographs, one set of scoring masks, manual, 100 student profile cards, and four class record sheets. Items also available separately.

Symfonische gedichten zijn gewoonlijk verhalende of beschrijvende werken die zijn gebaseerd op een verhaallijn - of het nu gaat om poëzie of proza. Naar het voorbeeld van meestercomponisten als Berlioz, Liszt en Debussy zet MaximeAulio het genre voort met Montségur, een klankgedicht dat uitgaat van het dramatische verhaal over de burcht van de katharen, het Ch teau de Montségur (Ariège, Frankrijk). Als een impressionistische schilder gebruikt de componistveel nuances en klankkleuren, steeds perfect in harmonie met de betreffende thematiek. Een schilderachtig solowerk voor trombone!

In der Tradition von Meisterkomponisten, wie Berlioz, Liszt und Debussy, erweitert Maxime Aulio das Genre des Tongedichts um Montségur, einem Werk auf der Grundlage der dramatischen Geschichte der gleichnamigen Festung in Südfrankreich. Wie ein impressionistischer Maler verwendete Maxime Aulio dabei viele Tonnuancen und Klangfarben. Ein malerisch schönes Solowerk für Posaune und Blasorchester!

Un poème symphonique est une composition dont la nature expressive relève d'une intention essentiellement poétique ou descriptive, s'appuyant explicitement sur un thème, un personnage, une légende le plus souvent inspirés par un texte littéraire. Suivant l’exemple d’illustres compositeurs tels que Berlioz, Liszt et Debussy, entre autres, Maxime Aulio fait perdurer le genre dans ce poème de sons qui relate l’histoire tragique du ch teau de Montségur (Ariège, France), bastion de la résistance cathare. Et tel un peintre impressionniste, il choisit, une multitude de timbres et de couleurs tonales toujours en parfaite adéquation avec le motif décrire. Le tableau respire, etl’on perçoit dans les premières mesures, le souffle du vent. La beauté du paysage qui s’enroule autour du gigantesque piton rocheux défile sous nos yeux quand soudain, une volée de carreaux d’arbalète fend l’air en sifflant comme une pluie de fer. On entend les pierres s’écraser sur les murailles du ch teau. La forteresse cathare est assiégée... Dans ce climat musical pesant et poignant, le trombone revêt une dimension tragique servie par une symbolique expressive. Il expose des thèmes cycliques qui reviennent dans l’ensemble de l’œuvre : le thème du ch teau, la prière des Parfaits, le thème du b cher. En mars 1244, 207 Parfaits cathares périrent br lés vifs. Presque huit siècles plus tard, ces flammes d'un autre ge alimentent encore les rumeurs les plus folles.

Visions of Australia' is a musical panorama paying tribute to the epochs in Australia's history from its Aboriginal predecessors through to its 'yet to be determined' future. The journey begins with a tribute to Australia's aboriginal past, the arrival of the British Navy and the establishment of the first colony on the shores of Sydney Harbour. The journey then meanders through to the development of electricity and communication, through the wars and to the present. Following a brief reflection on the past, the music concludes with a stirring and patriotic march-like section representing a confident and bold future. The work is a great challenge for all sections of the band and will be easily accessible to any audience.
