Folksong from the Hebrides. Par REINSHAGEN FRANK. Writing these arrangements, Frank Reinshagen has created little masterpieces, which broaden the rhythmical and harmonic context of the original tunes in an interesting manner without detracting from their archaic and melancholic character. These original tunes are - in a direct or wider sense - of „Celtic origin', in other words, they have been bor…

Par MACPHERSON STEWART. The three books are published separately, although the author firmly believed that melodic movement and harmonic progression should always be studied side by side. Book 1 concentrates on single-line horizontal writing. The books employ exercises in counterpoint, in figured-bass harmony and in the roman-numeral inversion analysis./ Livre / Livre

Par CULLUM JAMIE. Momentum is Jamie Cullum 's sixth studio album. Produced, in part, by Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys, Adele) and Dan The Automator (Kasabian, DJ Shadow), Jamie approached this record in a completely different way to his previous LPs, for the first time using DIY home demos as a blueprint for the majority of its tracks, and writing the majority of the songs himself. This artist approv…

Requiem. Par SUPPE FRANZ VON. Franz Suppè wrote his Requiem not as a humanistic or pantheistic lament for the dead, but as a work created on the basis of firm Christian and Catholic faith.

Par HARVEY JONATHAN. Predominantly hushed and serene, Plainsongs for Peace and Light proved to be Jonathan Harvey’s final work. It sees Harvey re-examining the very fundamentals of his craft – superimposing lines of plainsong, relishing the simple clash of note againstnote and creating rich, otherworldly sonorities through an elaborate use of canon. Harvey was a composer who always embraced and so…
