Three Changes

For Banjo Mandolin Fiddle and Guitar. Taught by Murphy Henry with Red Henry. For many people learning to hear chord changes is one of the hardest parts of learning to play bluegrass. No matter what instrument you are tryingto play. And even if you hear when a chord changes what chord does it change to? And how do you know? This brand-new DVD will help you learn to hear those chord changes. Even if you?ve never heard a chord change before in yourlife.Murphy begins with simple well-known two-chord songs (like Skip to My Lou) and walks you through the process step-by-step. First she sings each song while playing the Guitar. Then going through the song slowly shedemonstrates what the song would sound like if you didn?t change the chord. So you can hear that it sounds ?wrong.? When she moves to the ?right? chord (not a hard choice when you?ve only got two chords) you immediately hear thatthe song sounds ?right.? And that she says is the process: ?If it sounds wrong it is wrong?. She then demonstrates each song with Banjo Mandolin and Fiddle. She does simple strums on Banjo and Mandolin and ?chop?chords on the Fiddle. (Which she shows you.) Red Henry Murphy?s husband helps out on Guitar and Mandolin. Eventually she moves to three-chord songs using the C chord. And later she introduces the A chord and the F chord. Shepoints out that each of these chords has a distinctive sound and she tries to help you hear that.

Trois Esquisses Symphoniques-Claude Debussy's La Mer is an impressionistic work through and through. The three symphonic sketches that make up the work were composed between 1903-1905 however Debussy refined this work up until at least 1913. These corrections are found in a score which the composer gave to his wife as a present for her private library in 1913.The new scholarly-critical edition draws on several important sources previously unavailable to musicologists resulting in an array of new readings and corrections. In addition there are many changes especially in terms of articulation and dynamics.This new edition includes the famous ?fanfare? inMovement III clearly marked in small print and brackets. This fanfare was excised in the 1910 reissue of the work but was reinstated by a number of great conductors who knew Debussy i.e. Monteux Münch Mitropoulos and Ansermet. They felt that the excision was a misunderstanding and that the fanfare was necessary for the structure of the movement. And so the Bärenreiter edition presents the revival of a performing tradition which is committed to the fanfare.New Urtext edition with numerous corrections in comparison to other editions.Important sources which were previously inaccessible have been taken into account.Score and orchestral parts in large format (25.5 x 32.5cm).Score and orchestral parts with an impeccable generous layout.Includes an informative introduction (Eng/Fr/Ger) facsimiles source descriptions and a Critical Commentary (Eng).

Warm-ups and Essential Exercises for Violin. Par BERGMANN BENJAMIN. Fit in 15 Minutes is intended for occasional players who are very short of time and want to maintain and improve their violin technique in a concentrated and effective quarter of an hour. They can also be used at the beginning of a longer practice or rehearsal session. As the technical precondition of beginners and professional violinists vary, each exercise is offered in three levels of progressive complexity: · Level 1: Exercises for beginners · Level 2: Exercises for advanced players · Level 3: Exercises for tertiary students and professionals The division in three levels provides didactic transparency. It is not meant to create boundaries, but serves as a stimulation to identify correlations, to polish basics or to conquer new technical challenges. / Études et exercices / Etude / Violon

Par FERGUSON JIM. In Comping Standards For Jazz Guitar renowned Guitar guru and author Jim Ferguson helps you to take your playing to the next level. Using common jazz chord progressions, this book takes you through three primary comping approaches: straight-four, moving bass lines and combo variants. In the process, you'll learn numerous chord voicings, ways to organize them and a wide variety of dynamic rhythmic figures used in jazz. Other highlights include the use of guides and pivots, chord substitution, mastering rootless chords, playing with a pianist, inverting partial harmonic structures, Latin comping, chord scales, handling modal tunes and mixing voicings. The highly detailed music examples cover most of the common jazz keys and the material comes to life on the accompanying 17-track CD. The pieces featured in Comping Standards For Jazz Guitar are in both standard notation and tablature./ Recueil / Guitare

Oratorio in three parts-Israel in Egypt HWV 54Oratorio in three partsThe versions of the 1739 and 1756?7 performances The distinguishing feature of our new edition is that it reproduces Israel in Egypt in its complete three-part form: The Lamentation of the Israelites for the Death of Joseph Exodus and Moses? Song. It was in this form that the work was given at its London premiere on 4 April 1739. Handel made extensive changes for the second performance. The reason is often said to have been the audience?s dissatisfaction with the work?s unusual design. However he may possibly only have wanted to satisfy the whims of asoprano who felt under-represented with solo material. Israel in Egypt is made up of a series of contrasting and artfully constructed choruses separated only by a few numbers for solo voice. Part 1 is entirely given to the chorus Part 2 largely so and Part 3 while containing most of the solo numbers still gives ample room to the chorus. Handel shortened several choral numbers and may have taken the opportunity to alter the opening of Exodus. He also added five arias and a recitative for the soprano Elisabeth Duparc. These arias had already been written for insertion in other works of the 1730s and two of them had been sung a short while previously in An Oratorio (1738). There is no libretto containing the changes introduced at the second performance. All the insert arias are reproduced in Appendix 1 of Volume I/14 of the complete edition. The next performance of the piece did not occur until 1756. Handel now compiled an entirely new Part 1 containing a balanced proportion of choral and solo numbers by selecting items from Solomon the Occasional Oratorio and the Peace Anthem. The two other parts retained their original form apart from a few cuts in the choruses and the addition in Part 3 of the aria ?Hope hope a pure and lasting treasure? from the second version of Esther (for both 1756 and 1757) and the aria ?Toss?d from thought to thought? from Alexander Balus (for 1757). Our new edition makes it possible for the first time to perform Israel in Egypt in three different versions: that of the premiere

Rodelinda Regina de' Longobardi HWV 19; Opera in three acts.After Giulio Cesare and Tamerlano Rodelinda is the third masterly opera that Handel composed between December 1723 and January 1725. The words were written by Nicola Haym the author of many other Handel librettos. The first performance took place at the King’s Theatre in the Haymarket London on 13 February 1725. Rodelinda thrives entirely on the ethical supremacy of conjugal love and thus prefigures the great operas by Gluck and Beethoven on the same subject. The plot is taken from the history of the Lombard royalty. Oskar Hagen’s revival of Rodelinda in 1920 ushered in the modern Handel operamovement.The work forms the climax to a series of dramatic masterpieces that includes Handel’s most significant operas. Handel returned to Rodelinda on two occasions in December 1725 and in May 1731. Many far-reaching changes were necessary owing to the different skills of the new singers. For example Handel wrote three new arias and a duet for the first revival. Yet the changes he made for this performance doubtless to accommodate the needs and wishes of the singers also improve the work’s dramatic substance.Our vocal score is based on the Urtext of the full score published in the Halle Handel Edition (II/16) and reproduces the various alternative readings and versions in an appendix.Urtext of the Halle Handel Edition.Full score (BA4064) & vocal score (BA4064-90) available for sale.Performance material (BA4064-72) available for hire

The majority of works by Czerny are confusing to most Piano academics. Out of these the following are still the classics: Op. 139 261 299 335 337 355 365 453 553 599 636 718 740 755 802 821 823 834 et 849. Each one of these volumes contains numerous exercises some contain more than a hundred. It is of course impossible for aspiring pianists to study them all and it is difficult for Piano teachers to sort them out and organise them into the ones that could be the most interesting in a logical and progressive way.This is exactly what Heinrich Germer has tried to do. Germer an outstanding teacher and German pianist was born in Sommerdorfin 1839 and died in Dresde in 1913. He was 18 years old when Cerny died at the age of 66 years. Germer had great luck in knowing the first generation of pianists he was studying and saw the need to reorganise this huge quantity of didactic material. Germer's success was down to the fact that his systematic organisation of Czerny's work split into three volumes continues to be the three used by contemporary piano teachers. Germer did not make hardly any changes to Czerny collections. And there is more - he adds dynamic text for phrasing and pedals so that there is more musicality in the books making the exercises more enjoyable to play. He changes some archaic armatures for more modern ones. He revises Czerny's method on regrouping notes by placing bar values making reading rhythms a lot easier. He corrected numerous printing errors. In the longest pieces he adds capital letters to indicate the beginning of each movement same or part period which helps pupils to know blocks it would be better for him to practise. The revision work undergone by Germer introduces order and the results obtained for the Piano teachers that use them are very satisfying.

The Basic of Cello technique in selected etudes-Studies play an important role in musical instrument training. Gerhard Mantel's new edition 'Etüden üben' [Practising studies] (3 volumes) complements his previous successful book 'Cello üben' (ED 8714). The basics of cello technique are worked on in selected studies with the focus being not only on the ability to learn a technically and musically oriented text within a reasonable time but also on the solution of certain problems typical of the cello. Vol. 1 covers aspects ranging from the orientation on the fingerboard via changes of position vibrato and trills to changes of strings and double stops. Vol. 2 deals with fingerings whole-bow stroke dynamics articulation and types of bowing among others. The final volume contains studies on legato arpeggios chords martellato staccato spiccato and changes of rhythm. The accompanying volume of commentaries (for all three volumes) describes in detail the methodological practising processes.
