Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. During his summer vacation in 1891 Brahms composed six vocal quartets which would appear in print later that autumn. This set, to become Brahms’s opus 112, clearly falls into two groups. The first two in the melancholic tone of the poems Sehnsucht (Longing) and Nächtens (At Night) by Franz Kugler come upon four Zigeunerlieder (Gypsy Lieder) bursting with vitality and power. Th…

Par MATHEOS CHRIS. This method book explains how percussive slap bass works with the drums, and how playing percussively will make you 'lock' tighter with the drummer. Included are sections on building a percussive groove, pop control, moving patterns, individual string control, slap without pops, slapping with tensions, double pops, slapping with dyads, triplets, Flamenco thumb technique, odd met…

Osterkantate. Par TELEMANN GEORG PHILIPP. This cantata has come down to us, unusually, with two sets of words. Certainly the second, and possibly also the first, is a parody. The first text is clearly intended for Easter, while the second, of a general nature, sings the praises of patience, hope, and trust in God. This extremely effective work, basically heroic in character, might well be performe…

Par CURNOW JAMES. Explore different settings of the Medieval Latin carol 'In Dulci Jubilo' via this solid arrangement by James Curnow.

Bach style, WITH SWEET JUBILATION is wonderful 'style study' material. The grace of the early masters and the c…

The 'Missa Divi Xaverii? ZWV 12, an expansive and unusually richly scored work, marks a highlight in the oeuvre of Jan Dismas Zelenka (1679-1745). It was composed in 1729 while he was working at the Dresden court.The principal source of this first edition is the damaged autograph score which had long been kept under lock and key. Passages missing because of its damaged condition have been suppleme…

Par CHOPIN FREDERIC. A must for any discerning pianist, Roy Howat?s new critical edition for The Complete Chopin from Edition Peters provides a beautifully presented performing text based on Chopin?s autograph, restoring Chopin?s original text and correcting important pitches wrongly presented in previous editions. Variants are clearly presented as ossias within the main text of each Etude and onl…

Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. Of all his early chamber works, the 'Nocturne' is most clearly by the mature Vaughan Williams, almost anticipating the influence of Ravel which followed his lessons from the French composer in 1908. In the veiled beauty of its highly chromatic harmonies we hear already the tone-poet of the slow movement of 'A London Symphony', while in the fleet-footed 'Scherzo' there i…

Par DOUNIS DEMETRIOS CONSTANTINE. Dounis was one of the most prominent violin pedagogues of the twentieth century. He was revered for his intense concern for the proper ergonomics of violin playing as well as the emphasis on the role of the brain, not just the fingers in appropriate violin practicing and playing. The eleven books that make up this anthology are the most comprehensive collection ev…

Basso (Cello). Par TELEMANN GEORG PHILIPP. Concerto in F major for 3 Violins, Strings and Basso continuo TWV 53:F1 Tafelmusik II If Telemann was regarded by his contemporaries as one of the greatest of all composers, his star, faced with the overwhelming presence of Bach and Handel, paled in the course of the 19th century to the verge of contempt. This assessment changed radically during the cours…

Par SCIAINO PETER. 'Bahumba' is a nonsense word but a no-nonsense selection for concert band. The word stems from a sound composer Peter Sciaino heard coming from an idling car. The engine, clearly having issues, had an 'uneven' gate or pulse. He mindlessly heard the word 'Bahumba' within the sounds emerging from the struggling motor. Just like an engine, an ensemble can attain a smooth groove eve…
