The present reduction derives from the critical edition of the score of La Gloria e Imeneo, published in this catalog. The opera belongs to a group of the so-called 'French serenatas' by Antonio Vivaldi, namely a series of works composed and performed between the mid-1710s and mid- 1720s of the eighteenth century in celebration of important recurrent and non-recurrent events relating to the Kingdo…

During the visit to Brive-la-Gaillarde in 1940, Poulenc sketched a little piece for the children of his cousins: Sophie, Sylvie, Benoit, Florence and Delphine Périer, Yvan, Alain, Marie-Christine and Marguerite-Marie Villotte, and their two friends Marthe Bosredon and André Lecoeur. This took the form of a musical background to Jean de Brunhoff's popular illustrated children's story about Babar, a…

Learning to play scales and arpeggios and other people's solos can be very interesting indeed, but learning to create a coherent, vibrant and impressive solo all on your own, which, in addition, fits the context perfectly, is much more exciting, and this is exactly what we strive for here. This coursebook will not simply teach you the necessary tools for melody writing (there are enough other cour…

New settings of the two evening canticles which incorporate jazz elements, including harmony in voice parts and organ and many 'blue' notes. Despite these jazz elements, the music is very approachable, with natural syncopation and mostly homophonic writing. It is also available for upper or lower unison voices, with occasional optional divisi (ISMN 979-0-060-13012-0). Either version would be enjoy…

Par MANTOVANI BRUNO. This piece is indeed a tone poem with allusions to Strauss (the orchestral composition Ein Heldenleben), and the theme found in Chamisso's book: Peter Schlemihl's Miraculous Story. The narration is not linear, but rather, metaphorical (in this sense, the model leans more towards Hamlet by Franz Liszt). In fact, the discourse vacillates between luxuriance (symbolising the infin…

Par SAINT-SAENS CAMILLE. Far from being an isolated work in Camille Saint-Saens’ production, Le Retour de Virginie (Virginia’s Return) belongs to a small set written at the beginning of his career in the particular context of the competition for the Prix de Rome that was established in 1803 then cancelled following the events of May 1968. It had been for more than a century and a half, the most co…

Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Since their publication in the New Mozart Edition, Mozart's sonatas K. 10–15 count as piano trios. Furthermore, the title of the first edition, published by father and son Mozart in 1765 reads 'Six Sonates pour le Clavecin qui puevent se jouer avec l'accompagnement de Violon ou Flaute Traversiere”. In other words, these pieces are harpsichord sonatas that may be accomp…

Originally written for unison choir with descant and part of Nick's 'Nursery Rhyme Cantata? this new voicing for SSA and piano is lush and worthy of any fine women's choir. Dedicated to Dr. Barbara Tagg and already performed by one of her fine choirs at Syracuse, her 'stamp of approval? for this arrangement is high praise indeed. / Choeur SSA Et Piano

Dedicated to the communities in Colorado that faced the devastating effects of flooding in the fall of 2013, this original concert march musically demonstrates that those communities are indeed 'Mountain Strong.? (2:30) / Concert Band

Par SPARKE PHILIP. Morning Song features the horn quartet mostly in a soloistic role - indeed there is an accompanied cadenza towards the end of the piece - but there are moments where the horns assume their conventional fanfare band role as harmonic support or playing the counter melody. This expressive composition shows all the versatility of the horn quartet and gives them the chance to be in t…

Symphonie-Kantate. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. Mendelssohn describes to his friend Klingemann the 1840 work as 'a ‘symphony for chorus and orchestra’… First three symphonic movements, to which 12 choral- and solo- movements are appendaged; the words from the Psalms, and indeed all pieces, vocal and instrumental, are composed in the words ‘Everything which has breath, Praise the Lord’; one und…
