Par REICHARDT JOHANN FRIEDRICH. If he is known at all, then generally Reichardt is known primarily as a Lied composer. This first edition of the full score of the Weihnachtskantilene makes this work for large ensemble once again accessible. This simple, homophonic setting in 16 movements is scored in some sections for double choir, whereby the higher choir can be performed effectively by a childre…

Par CURNOW JAMES. This splendid Christmas work gives you a three verse setting of the ancient melody In Dulci Jubilo which is generally associated with the text Good Christian Men Rejoyce. There is however a slight twist to this version in that each verse is a setting by three different composers covering over 300 years. The first setting is by the German composer Michael Praetorius (1571-1621), t…

Arr. Philip Sparke. Par FRANCK CESAR. Although Cesar Franck won many prizes during his student days his music was generally unrecognised by his contemporaries. His pieces were written in the romantic style whilst retaining a classical structure and his later compositions were referred to as 'cathedrals of sound'. Panis Angelicus is poetic and almost serene and this arrangement by Philip Sparke ret…

Spaur-Messe. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. The relatively unspectacular nature of the 'Spaur Mass' may be one of the reasons for the fact that writers on music generally refer to it only as a peripheral work, a little sister of Mozart's 'important' church works. With regard to scoring, the 'Spaur Mass' belongs to the category of the 'missa solemnis', but its brevity and its stylistic character belo…

Par ELIAS BRIAN. I Saw a Peacock by Brian Elias is a set of six songs for baritone and piano, commissioned by Wigmore Hall and premiered by James Newby and Joseph Middleton.

By understanding how they relate to larger chord structures, you will improve your command over harmony generally and be able to use triads more effectively in all your playing. Through visualizing and using common triads on the first three strings, you will create smooth …

Warm-ups, technical training and studies. Most trumpet players blow downward a bit too much; as a consequence, the pressure point lies on the lower lip. The result: a thick, dull tone without treble and smoothness. The present technical exercises help to shift the pressure point to the upper lip. Thus, a much better treble, a finer tone and generally a better embouchure is gradually achieved. This…

The two existing manuscripts (1915 and 1926) of these extracts 'arranged' by Falla himself correspond to the very beginning and end of a long period during which El Amor Brujo can be seen in a series of different states. They demonstrate the care which the composer generally brought to the task of instrumentation, and more particularly the aptness and validity of this piece in his own eyes as cham…
