Full Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1203852 By Adrian Gagiu. By Adrian Gagiu. Arranged by Adrian Gagiu. 20th Century,Baroque,Christian,Classical,Sacred. 133 pages. Adrian Gagiu #802408. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1203852). Neo-Baroque, medium-sized, large scale composition for 4 vocal soloists, mixed chorus in 4 to 8 parts, and full orchestra with organ, setting the traditional canticle text, mostly with church modes and alternating polyphonic intricacies with solemn, intense or profound moments. It would work both for worship and in concert, as it includes powerful outbursts, elaborate counterpoint, and also soft and humble moments, while avoiding any harsh excesses of modernism. Total duration: 46 min. Performing Rights Organization: SOCAN. The audio sample is the 5th movement. The first two choruses, in 4 parts, follow the general outline of the Baroque French overture: a solemn introduction followed by an elaborate fugue. The 3rd movement is a solemn arioso for bass, followed by a grand chorus in 4 and 5 parts. The 4th movement is an arioso for tenor, followed by a complex chorus in 5 parts. The 5th movement is a suite of two ariosos for alto and soprano, followed by a grand, but brief chorus in 6 parts, and then by a mysterious instrumental evocation of the Last Judgment. The 6th movement is a vocal quartet a cappella, based on a well-known Orthodox hymn and alternated with a refrain for chorus in 7 parts and organ, then followed by a grand choral complex ended in humble supplication. The final, 7th movement is a grand motet for double chorus and orchestra, with four themes more and more intricately combined, up to the majestic coda treated in quadruple counterpoint.

Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1004700). Prelude, Fugue and Chorale in B minor for organ, op. 72 (2018, revised 2019), is an energetic composition in Neo-Classical/Neo-Baroque style. It starts as a dramatic but brooding Prelude, mostly with Impressionistic, seventh chord harmonies and with allusions at Bach's great Fantasia and Fugue in G minor BWV 542, ending with a very short quotation from Carl Orff's De temporum fine comoedia, which provides also the (bi)tonal structure for this entire composition.

Adrian Gagiu #736820. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1136831). The charming and fun overture to the opera Donna Diana (1894) by Emil von Reznicek (1860-1945) was revised now in premiere to make it more flowing and coherent especially in its rushed passages, with less flashy orchestration and with reshaped slow introduction and development section. Following the traces of the original concert favorite, it may work better now as a concert overture or an engaging stand-alone showpiece for professional and advanced amateur orchestras.

String Ensemble,String Trio - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1004697 Composed by Adrian Gagiu. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score and parts. 64 pages. Adrian Gagiu #4298323. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1004697). String Trio in E minor is a Neo-classical, cyclical, half serious, half tongue in cheek composition. The movements: Andante-Allegro (nostalgic and dramatic), Andante con moto (a slow fugue), and Allegro scherzoso (treated in humorous variations; note the Minore variation, a well fit fugato on Henry Mancini's famous Pink Panther theme). The mp3 audio clip is the first movement. Total duration: 18 min.

Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1004687 Composed by Adrian Gagiu. 20th Century,Baroque,Contemporary. Score. 20 pages. Adrian Gagiu #4297891. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1004687). Ten Variations for piano in G major on the bass of the Aria from J. S. Bach's Goldberg Variations, beginning directly with the first variation, which includes the theme in the bass. Neoclassical composition, with some Neo-baroque hints due to the theme, and some subtle allusions to the other great variation cycle, Beethoven's Diabelli Variations. Most of the variations are treated in invertible counterpoint (of course made easier by a more relaxed harmonic language) and, while including all the notes of the theme, transform it a lot through various moods.

Chamber Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1004721 Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by Adrian Gagiu. Classical. Score and parts. 48 pages. Adrian Gagiu #6204599. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1004721). Beethoven's Romance No. 1 in G major for violin and orchestra op. 40 (c. 1801) was transposed in C major, arranged in the new key and appropriate tempo, and expanded to form a rondo Finale fit for his unfinished Concerto in C major, of which only about a half of a clean copy of the first movement survived as WoO 5 (1791-1792). Also, a newly composed solo cadenza was now inserted. Almost surely, the Romance No. 2 in F major op. 50 (c. 1791?) was intended as the slow movement of the Concerto (it has virtually the same scoring as WoO 5, the manuscript bears no title, and there is a thematic relation to WoO 5). The Romance No. 1 in G major was probably intended as a replacement or alternate slow movement, but it is his only composition relatable to the Concerto fragment, so I adapted it as conjecture Finale for a complete performing version of the Concerto.

String Quartet String Quartet - Digital Download SKU: A0.1150513 Composed by George Frideric Handel. Arranged by Adrian Gagiu. Baroque,Chamber. 42 pages. Adrian Gagiu #750689. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1150513). Handel’s great set of 12 Concerti grossi (= Grand Concertos, in the first edition) op. 6 are somehow a bit related in spirit, through their power and diversity, with Beethoven’s string quartets. Therefore, here they are arranged for the more ‘abstract’ and ‘timeless’ medium of the string quartet, allowing also for an addition to the repertoire of the respective ensembles. Articulation, tempo and dynamics indications were specified or added where needed, and all the trills were indicated to start with the upper auxiliary note, not only according to the Baroque performance practice but also fitting to the melodic contour. The movements of Concerto grosso in F major, op. 6 no. 2: 1. Andante larghetto - noble, rich and soulful 2. Allegro ma non tanto – agitated, in D minor 3. Largo – Larghetto andante – in two alternating sections and moods (stately, and then mysterious and gentle) 4. Allegro, ma non troppo – a vigorous and fun fugato, with a broad and lyrical second theme. Total duration 11 min. The mp3 clip is the final movement. Performing Rights Organization: SOCAN.

String Quartet String Quartet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1004706 Composed by Adrian Gagiu. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score and parts. 109 pages. Adrian Gagiu #4835871. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1004706). Neoclassical and cyclical composition in D minor, built entirely on four themes based on Romanian traditional music, with moods alternating between thoughtful, deep, nostalgic, sarcastic, harsh and heroic, and in four movements linked together in pairs. Thus, the second movement acts both as a scherzo and as a huge coda for the first movement, and the third movement is equally ambivalent as a slow movement in the varied ternary form or as a vast introduction to the final, strong-willed but bouncy double fugue (which has also simultaneously a motivic development). Suitable for advanced students already familiar with string quartets of Beethoven, Bartok and Shostakovitch. Performing Rights Organization: SOCAN. Total duration: 22 min. The sample mp3 recording is movements 1 and 2.

Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1332026). The restrained, yet emotional, signature ballad by Janis Ian, here in a rather sophisticated arrangement for string quartet which preserves the complex harmony of the original in a sonic aura characteristic to this chamber ensemble. Suited for classy recitals and parties with an Adult Contemporary component. While not particularly difficult for the instruments, it needs coordination between them and rhythmic precision, presenting the repeats of the song's main sections with subtle variations, either rhythmic or melodic. Duration: 5 min.

Concerto grosso in A major, op. 6 no. 11: 1. Andante larghetto – solemn, complex introduction, like in a French overture; 2. Allegro – one of his best movements, a short and exhilarating fugue; 3. Largo-Andante molto mosso – slow and dramatic introduction, then soothing and elaborate; 4. Allegro – joyful and enthusiastic. The mp3 audio clip is the second movement.
