Par GARCIA JOSE MAURICIO NUNES. Garcia, born in 1767 in Rio de Janeiro, and priest and music director at the cathedral there, is still hardly known. Among his spiritual works are four settings of the Mass for the Dead. The present „Missa dos Defunktos“ was commissioned by the Portuguese King Dom Joao VI in the memory of Queen Maria I, who died in 1816. The composition, in the key of D minor, shows…

Par DVORAK ANTONIN. Dvorák’s Waltzes and Mazurkas prove to be a successfully contrived balancing act between stylised composition and musical immediacy. The music critic Louis Ehlert once wrote of Dvorák’s Slavonic Dances that they made a real musician’s heart laugh within him; the comment might equally well be applied to these pieces. These “Waltzes and Mazurkas” rank alongside the works of Chopi…

for String Orchestra Score and Parts. Par BOLOGNE JOSEPH. This arrangement is a wonderful introduction to the music of one of Mozart?s lesser-known contemporaries. In sonata-allegro form, D Major and ¾ time, the first theme is dramatic and bold, while the second theme is lyric and more delicate. The upper strings share conversational passages, sometimes adding the cellos. The basses have mostly ac…

Arr. Dizzy Stratford. Par DVORAK ANTONIN. Antonin’s New World is an excellent piece of musical theatre featuring a comedy act for triangle soloist and band. The music itself does not sound comical, being based on Anton Dvorak’s Symphony in E Minor (‘From the New World’), but the right mix of seriousness and humour brings a surprising effect. With a bit of acting talent from your triangle soloist, …
