Par FRANCES-HOAD CHERYL. Pieces of Light was commissioned by the Flautadors for their 20 th Anniversary.

Par COBHAM BILLY. When he burst onto the international stage in 1971 with the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Billy Cobham had already recorded with Miles Davis and dozens of others.

Cobham's first solo album, 1973's Spectrum, became a number one hit, spawned three future jazz standards, and cemented his pla…

Par MASCAGNI PIETRO. When you say Mascagni you immediately think of Cavalleria rusticana. This work brought Mascagni overnight fame after his wife - without him knowing - entered the score in a composition contest and it won first prize. Cavalleria rusticana became an incredible success, overshadowing the premiere of his next opera, L’Amico Fritz. L’Amico Fritz can still be considered a successful…

Studienpartitur. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Premièred at the Vienna Hoftheater on 1 May 1786, Wolfang Amadeus Mozart?s and Lorenzo Da Ponte?s Le nozze di Figaro may be safely regarded as one of the greatest operatic successes of all times. Yet its success was not entirely due to Mozart?s music: on the contrary, because of the extraordinary demands it placed on the orchestra (especially the woodw…

From Balletti a cinque voci. Par GASTOLDI GIOVANNI GIACOMO. During the second half of the 16th century, Giovanni Giacomo Gastoldi composed almost entirely sacred works, however it was with his Balletti, not published until 1591 and 1594, that he gained fame and recognition.
