Overture. Par BERLIOZ HECTOR. Hector Berlioz was known for his innovative and creative musical gestures. He composed the opera Benvenuto Cellini in 1838, based on the fascinating life of a 16th century Italian goldsmith of the same name. Unfortunately the work as a whole never gained much popularity however its colourful and exciting overture has, on the other hand, become a firm favourite. Tohru …

With the new Urtext Primo series, the Wiener Urtext Edition wants to close the gap arising at the point of transition to additional lessons after having studied a piano method.

Missa aulica. Par BRIXI FRANTISEK XAVER. Brixi came from a widespread family of Bohemian musicians which included composers whose works were well known among rural communities. The present edition of this short mass (known as the “Missa aulica”), which is published here for the first time, is a typical example of this type of music: scored for a small ensemble, which makes only modest demands of t…

Par MARTIN MATTHEW. The Festival Anthem I saw the Lord (2012) is a setting of words from Isaiah Ch 6, some of which are perhaps better known in the context of the great Victorian anthem by John Stainer. This Trinitarian/Dedication text (starting with the words “in the year that King Uzziah died”) is both powerful and full of dramatic imagery - flying seraphim, live coals, cries of the Tersanctus -…

Par HOLLIGER HEINZ. Here's proof, if you ever needed it, that contemporary music can be humourous. Want to hear Mendelssohn's Wedding March beefed up with Wagner's Tristan? And enjoy listening out for the well-known melody of 'Tea for two' in the escapades of 'Three for two'? The entertaining collection were composed individually, and for a variety of purpose - some were congratulatory messages fo…

Par COHEN JONATHAN. Cohen's compositions for flute ensembles, ranging from duets through large choirs, are well known and frequently performed.

Playdates, Book I introduces three of these short, charming works: Stalking the Wild Catnip Mouse, I'm Skipping, Even If Ever…

Arr. Philip Sparke. Par CHARLES ADAM ADOLPHE. Adolphe Adam (1803-56) is perhaps best known for his classical ballet, Giselle, but it is his Cantique de Noël (popularly known in the English-speaking world as ‘O Holy Night’, the opening line of its translated lyrics) that has made him a household name during the Christmas season. / Niveau : 2 / Musique pour célébration / Répertoire / Concert Band…

Par MANTYSAARI LAURI. Lauri Mäntysaari explores the theme 'nature' in Chats before Sunrise (2007, rev. 2022). The atmosphere created in this composition is one of early dawn after a long night spent with good friends (and wine, perhaps), a moment where an unseen element lighter than the air seems to hold the still bubbling conversation in its arms and let us feel relieved. Not only does the word “…

Die Mazurka von Sergej Liapounow (1859-1924) ist sehr fein, raffiniert und nachdenklich - ein ungewöhnliches, vielschichtiges Spielvergnügen für den Pianisten. Es ist ein eher nachdenkliches Konzertstück voller musikalischer Farbschattierungen und vielschichtiger Atmosphäre. Gewidmet hat er es der Malerin Prinzessin Marie Wolkonsky, die in Paris wirkte. / Piano
