Par HOSOKAWA TOSHIO. In my sixth work for a string quartet, there is a very simple melody concealed in the background. That melody (distant voices) is played within an extremely slow tempo, and the notes which form the melody gain different textures by becoming disassembled, and played by different techniques. In our daily lives, our inner voices become concealed by our daily customs. The act of c…

Concert March. Par CURNOW PAUL. The sounds of a fire bell and whistle add to the effect in this concert march dedicated to New York Fire Department 126, who lost many members of its crew on September 11th, 2001.

Tonalité : C-Moll - Op.: 149 -. Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. The field of sacred chamber music, apart from vocal music and the solo-organ repertoire, often lives in the shadows. Thus the reprint of this valuable trio is all the more welcome. The organ has the same role here as the piano in a piano trio! [Württembergische Blätter für Kirchenmusik May 1993, p. 192]/ Répertoire / Violon Solo, Violo…

Par GOODALL HOWARD. A beautiful cycle of six loosely interwoven movements for solo Harp or Piano and Upper Voices, by Howard Goodall. Although the story of the Nativity lies at the core of this work- celebrating Motherhood and the different moods that might be embraced by a lullaby- it also explores associated secular issues of homelessness, displacement and flight, showing the relevance that this…

American composer Celius Dougherty (1902-1986) is best remembered for his art songs. Gracious and witty, they show a love of words, with texts ranging from the most elite English and American poets to a dictionary entry ('Love in the Dictionary?). With a deep understanding of the voice and the piano, Dougherty created a body of song literature that lives on in a steady flow of student and professi…

Par VIA KELLY. This Meditation on 'Abide With Me' by Kelly Via was written for the West Michigan Flute Orchestra, under the direction of Julie Sooy.

As the son of a minister, traditional hymns were …
