Bob has created an absolutely thrilling 12 minute work, inspired by his Celtic roots (Towednack is a small area in Cornwall, England). The Celtic influence is heard in the triple-meter settings and the interlude which reflects back on a Riverdance style of music. Tenor sax is featured. Very much in the genre of his Metheny/Mays charts of the past. Commissioned by Riverside Community College (CA) Performed at the August, 1999 Kenton Sounds concert in Los Angeles. No w.w. doubles. The CD on which this piece is recorded is Towednack, Bob Curnow and the SWR Big Band (available from Sierra Music). 5-4-4-4 (opt. vibes and aux. perc.).

The chart everyone has been waiting for!! Eight minutes of amazing, dynamic, exciting sounds! This arrangement was commissioned and recorded by the SWR Big Band of Stuttgart, Germany. It is, of course, based on the centerpiece of the wildly popular show. Everytime this chart was performed in live concerts in Germany (and elsewhere), the audience just erupted with applause and standing ovations. This isn't an easy chart to play, but it is well worth the effort (similar to The First Circle in that respect). All ranges are fairly reasonable, with the 1st Tpt. part topping out at a written high E. This is recorded on the highly acclaimed CD Towednack, Bob Curnow and the SWR Big Band (available from Sierra Music). 5-4-4-4.

As commissioned (and recorded) by the SWR Big Band of Stuttgart, Germany, this is an extended arrangement based on a gorgeous melody by Pat Metheny. The saxophone players double on flute (sax 1), clarinets (sax 2-4) and bass clarinet (sax 5). There is solo space for piano, tenor sax and trombone, as the chart moves from a rubato ballad, to a bossa feel, to a rock ballad feel, and back to the rubato again. This is a highly, emotionally charged piece which makes a wonderful addition to any program. Limited brass ranges. The chart also includes an interweaving of Metheny's pensive melody Tell Her You Saw Me. The CD on which this piece is recorded is Towednack, Bob Curnow and the SWR Big Band (available from Sierra Music). 5-4-4-4.

Das muntere Werk komponierte Harald Heilmann in einem Satz, wobei zwei Moderato-Teile einen miteinander korrespondierenden Rahmen bilden: Der Eröffnungsteil wird nach einem Mittelteil wiederholt und schließlich mit einem temporeichen Schluss und sich stetig steigernder Dynamik beendet. Für den Komponisten ist die Wiederholung ein adäquates musikalisches Mittel, um bei den Spieler/innen und Hörer/innen einen Wiedererkennungseffekt hervorzurufen und damit Vertrautheit zu schaffen. In diesem Sinne setzt er melodische und rhythmische Motive wiederholt ein, allerdings in immer neuen Zusammenhängen und Harmonien, so dass ein gleichsam farbiges und lebendiges Tongemälde entsteht. Wechselnoten und die Durchmischung der überwiegend binären mit gelegentlichen ternären Rhythmen schaffen rhythmische Lebendigkeit; lange Noten und Pausen geben dem Stück eine innere Struktur. In Auftrag gegeben wurde das Werk von dem bulgarischen Konzertpianisten, Komponisten und Klavierpädagogen Ivan Shekov. Die Uraufführung erfolgte am 17. Oktober 1999 durch Julia Taube und Anika Wippich in Tettnang, wo der Auftraggeber an der dortigen Musikschule unterrichtete. Das Stück, das für fortgeschrittene junge Musiker/innen ebenso geeignet ist wie für professionelle Künstler/innen auf dem Konzertpodium, bietet viel Raum für die musikalische Ausgestaltung des Titels: Die Spielanweisung a tempo beinhaltet die Erwartung bzw. Möglichkeit, mit Tempowechseln zu arbeiten. Da der Komponist selbst keine Angaben dazu in den Notentext gesetzt hat, ist hier die individuelle künstlerische Freiheit eines jeden einzelnen Interpretenduos gefragt. (Ulrike Lausberg).

Italian composer, Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) is well-known for his Keyboard compositions. His 555 Keyboard Sonatas remain ever popular to this day, and it is for this reason that this first volume of Selected Sonatas isindispensable to performers of the genre. Originally composed for the Harpsichord, Organ or early Pianoforte, the sonatas display the riveting use of discords and unconventional modulations to remote keys. It is also thought thatmuch of Scarlatti's Keyboard music contains influences of Iberian music, considering that he spent much of his working life in the service of the Spanish and Portuguese royal families. The first volume of Selected Sonatas,compiled by Kenneth Gilbert, includes many of the popular and recognised sonatas. Bearing in mind that Domenico Scarlatti was a highly competent and popular Keyboard player in his day, so much so that he was employed in theservice of two royal families, his sonatas are composed with much experience, understanding and expertise, creating an essential addition to the repertoire of all Keyboard players of the Baroque genre.
