Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. The piano part has been thoroughly re-worked for this new vocal score of Schubert’s Mass in A-flat major (D 678). Andreas Köhs' piano reduction reliably reflects Schubert’s orchestral score and is at the same time idiomatic piano writing. Bärenreiter’s new revised vocal score is compatible with the old vocal score as well as with the orchestral parts and the full score already …

Par MOORE PHILIP. Philip Moore's Lo! God is here! was commissioned by the Dean and Chapter of St Paul's Cathedral for the Cathedral's Tercentenary Celebrations. It is within the technical grasp of most amateur choirs, and could be programmed in a concert and throughout the liturgical year. The work beautifully juxtaposes accompanied plainsong with homophonic writing. / Niveau : Assez Facile / Feu…

Par HAHN. Having been considered as a 'fashionable' and 'cliche' composer of his day, Hahn 's compositions are possibly not as well-known as they ought to be. Rondels for SATB choir and Piano however, shatter these prejudices held, representing the engaging diversity of the composer's music. Venezuelan born Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) entered the Paris Conservatoire at 10 years old. He received a hi…

This book covers all their songs, from their 1970s 'rockney', through their heyday of chart success, TV appearances and football collaborations in t…

Love me sweet was composed for the occasion of the composer's wedding in July 2010. The text consists of four verses taken from Elizabeth Barrett Browning's ironic poem A Man's Requirements which ends with the couplet, 'I will love thee - half a year - As a man is able.' This setting responds to the purer sentiments of the earlier verses, employing a lilting metre, a harmonic idiom and a piquant s…

Conducteur Ba 10927 et Ba 10928. Par SAINT-SAENS CAMILLE. Ludwig van Beethoven's overpowering legacy caused many subsequent composers to avoid writing string quartets at all. Saint-Saëns was no exception in this respect and waited until 1899 and 1918 to produce his two contributions to the genre. Couched in classicism, they relate in form and style to early 19th-century French quartets and to a ti…

10 Fugues For String Quartet Vol. 2. Par BACH JOHANN-SEBASTIAN. The idea for these arrangements came to me whilst listening to the Hagen Quartet's beautiful recording of the fugues that form part of Haydn's 'Sun Quartets', Op. 20. The spirit and influence of J.S. Bach, in particular his Well Tempered Clavier, Book II, courses through these three miraculous Haydn fugues. Like the viol consort, the …

Mozart wrote the five Divertimenti for Wind Sextet between the years 1775 and 1777 when he was living in Salzburg. The Italian title is reminiscent of simple 'light? music, but the pieces' melodic ingenuity and colourful writing for winds show it to be chamber music of the highest quality. / 2 Hautbois, 2 Cors Et 2 Bassons

The Piano is often mistakenly viewed as taking a secondary role to the guitar in the world of rock music, with the industry often favouring the eye-catching antics of a larger-than-life axe-weilding hero to the seated sincerity of the Piano. In the meantime, a new generation of bands and artists are correcting the balance, pushing the Piano to the front of the stage and writing music with a passio…

Par WOOD MARK. The composer, Mark Wood, writes: Come Fly With Me comes from my personal visualization of flying while improvising music. In writing a work which combines classical and American rock styles, I have created a vehicle for musicians to spread their wings and truly learn the beautiful art of composing their own music on the spot in the improvisation section. (4:00) / Date parution : 202…
