Cello,Instrumental Duet,Violin - Digital Download SKU: A0.1488233 Composed by Leopold Hofmann. Arranged by Allan Badley. Classical. 83 pages. Artaria Editions #1065120. Published by Artaria Editions (A0.1488233). A near contemporary and rival of Haydn, Leopold Hofmann was held in the highest regard in his native Vienna where he served as Kapellmeister at St Stephen's Cathedral, a position to which Mozart might have succeeded had he lived. Hofmann was a prolific composer of instrumental music and he wrote a good deal of chamber music although much of it has been lost. Hofmann also composed a substantial body of chamber music for strings and among the most interesting of these works are the Six Sonatas for Violin & Basso. The sonatas are as a whole more technically difficult than any of the composer's other chamber works with violin. In some respects, particularly in their extensive use of double-stopping and two-part textures in the violin part, they are more technically demanding than his violin concertos. There is no attempt, however, to involve the basso in the presentation of thematic material and in this respect the sonatas are quite unlike Hofmann's one extant Duo for Violin and Violoncello (Badley II.D2) in which the two parts are treated equally. In view of their technical difficulty and limited dissemination it is difficult to understand Hofmann's motivation for composing the sonatas. Their exploration of multiple-voicing, particularly in first and second movements, and the use of a Minuet with variations for five of the finales – all of which follow a similar pattern of technical exploitation – suggests that the sonatas may have been composed by Hofmann in the first instance as teaching pieces.

Published by Jurij Neudorf (A0.1231445). Ein altes Lied, bei dem ich bei aller Recherche nicht herausfinden konnte, woher es eigentlich kommt.Wenn ich an dieses Lied denke, fühle ich mich wieder als wäre ich elf oder zwölf Jahre alt. Es kommen Erinnerungen hoch, wie ich in der alten, engen Kirche unserer Gemeinde neben meinem Opa sitze und er und all die anderen älteren Männer dieses Lied voller Inbrunst und Freude am Sonntagmorgen schmettern. Es war eine herrliche Zeit, nie habe ich ein Kirchenlied fröhlicher gesungen gehört.Aus dieser Erinnerung und Nostalgie heraus entstand bei mir vor Jahren der Wunsch, einen Chorsatz zu diesem Lied zu schreiben. Die erste Strophe beginnt standesgemäß (Es ist Sonntag, ihr BRÜDER) mit Männergesang, der sich bis zu einer Vierstimmigkeit entwickelt. Die Frauen begleiten diesen. Ab der zweiten Strophe übernimmt der Sopran die Melodieführung und das Lied entwickelt sich inkl. zweier Tonartwechsel hin zu einem finalen Ehre sei Gott in der Höh!.

Large Ensemble Guitar - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1021521 Composed by Victor Rebullida. Contemporary. Score and parts. 69 pages. Victor Rebullida #6065131. Published by Victor Rebullida (A0.1021521). --------------Divertimento was born from the proposal that at the end of 2007 makes me the Terpsícore Guitar Quartet, from Huesca (Spain) to compose a work for this group.The title comes from the very conception of the work: a series of short pieces as a free-form suite. In this work musicality is present in the foreground from beginning to end, overlaying itself in the presence of the important technique required of performers. In Divertimento the wide expressive range of the guitar is exploited, in this case amplified by the generous acoustic possibilities that the quartet makes available to the composer.The six movements that consist begin with Toccata, which recalls the baroque namesake pieces with their fast scales that run over until they reach a strum climax. It is followed by Serenata, a piece of great expressiveness as a song. Behind it, Intermezzo takes place in a context of Impressionist sonorities. Scherzo-vals, as the name suggests, is a waltz written in a humorous tone that precedes Night, in which the insistent harmonic chords create a dreamlike and somewhat disturbing atmosphere. The fast-paced final Dance evokes with its irregular rhythm the folklore of other lands.It is dedicated to Terpsícore Quartet.----------------------Divertimento nace de la propuesta que a finales del año 2007 me hace el Cuarteto de guitarras Terpsícore, de Huesca (España) para componer una obra para este grupo. El título viene de la propia concepción de la obra: una serie de piezas breves a modo de suite con forma libre. En esta obra la musicalidad está presente en primer plano de principio a fin sobreponiéndose en presencia a la importante técnica exigida a los intérprete. En Divertimento se explota la amplia gama expresiva de la guitarra, en este caso amplificada por las generosas posibilidades acústicas que el cuarteto pone a disposición del compositor. Los seis movimiento de que consta comienzan con Toccata, que rememora las piezas homónimas barrocas con sus veloces escalas que se van atropellando hasta alcanzar un clímax rasgueado. Le sigue Serenata, pieza de una gran expresividad a modo de canción. Tras ésta, Intermezzo se desarrolla en un contexto de sonoridades impresionistas. Scherzo-vals, como su nombre indica, es un vals escrito en tono humorístico que precede a Nocturno, en el que los insistentes acordes en armónicos crean una atmósfera onírica y un tanto inquietante. La trepidante Danza final evoca con su ritmo irregular el folclore de otras tierras. Está dedicada al Cuarteto Terpsícore.

Two Violins, Piano - Digital Download SKU: IZ.PDP300 Composed by Rebecca Clarke. Score and Parts. 52 pages. Imagine Music - Digital #PDP300. Published by Imagine Music - Digital (IZ.PDP300). 9 x 12 inches.Clarke worked on the Pieces for Two Violins and Piano during 1909, her last year at the Royal College, when Danse Bizarre gained her a scholarship. Clarke mentioned Danse Bizarre in her typescript memoir composed in the 1970s, and also discussed it with me in 1977 while helping me catalogue her compositions, but she said then that it was long lost, and made no mention of any related material. In the year 2000, however, Clarke's great-nephew Daniel Braden found.a box that Clarke had put in the back of a closet decades before and evidently forgotten, which turned out to contain a chaotic assortment of letters, papers, medical records, and music-manuscript sheets. When put in order, the latter yielded the missing inner leaf of an important viola piece and a number of previously unknown or presumed-lost arrangements and compositions, including ''Danse Bizarre and a Prelude, a Nocturne, and the beginning of a Finale for the same instruments, on the same paper, and bearing similar markings in Clarke's hand and in at least one other hand, which may well be Stanford's. The four movements were plainly developed as a suite, although there is nothing to suggest a sequence for the inner movements, and no compelling reason to believe that the Finale ever got beyond the extant eight pages. The manuscript of the Finale is noticeably rougher than those of the other movements, and several pencil-markings, apparently in another hand, suggest that some of its motivic material had not yet jelled. It seems entirely possible that Clarke had only begun this movement when a family crisis forced her to leave the College, and that she never returned to it. In any case, there is not enough of the Finale to make performance feasible, but the other movements stand quite magnificently on their own. They were recorded by Lorraine McAslan, David Juritz, and Ian Jones on Dutton CDLX 7132, released in 2003. The first public performance, by students at the Royal College under Jones's supervision, took place in May 2005 in the College's Concert Hall, where Clarke had last performed nearly a century before.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.904857 Composed by Giancarlo Bigazzi, Giuseppe Beppe Dati, and Marco Falagiani. Arranged by Marco Borsoi. Pop. Octavo. 27 pages. Marco Borsoi #6167397. Published by Marco Borsoi (A0.904857). Gli uomini non cambiano è una canzone scritta da Giancarlo Bigazzi, Marco Falagiani e Giuseppe Beppe Dati. Fu presentata dalla stupenda voce di Mia Martini al 42o Festival di Sanremo, dove si piazzò al secondo posto nella classifica finale.Il brano racconta le delusioni di una donna nei rapporti con le figure maschili; a partire dal padre che, nonostante gli sforzi, non è mai riuscita a conquistare fino ai falsi e presunti amori. Storie nate dalla voglia di scappare da una famiglia divenuta ostile ma che evidenziano l'ingenuità di una ragazzina presa in giro e abbandonata dal playboy di turno. Sogni d’amore svaniti, lacrime versate e sensi colpa per aver stupidamente abboccato alle bugie di chi si diceva innamorato per poi andare a ridere di lei con gli amici del bar. Sconfitta da queste delusioni, la ragazza divenuta donna non riesce più a dare fiducia agli uomini; indurisce il proprio carattere diventando fredda e diffidente in ogni nuovo rapporto. Nel finale, però, rivolgendosi all’attuale compagno, la donna chiarisce che l'amore vero può esistere perché un uomo può davvero cambiare se innamorato.L’arrangiamento, per 5 voci miste (SMzATB) prende spunto dalla versione di Alessandro Cadario di Almeno tu nell’universo per coro femminile.Il brano parte dunque con un unisono di voci femminili che via via si aprono in 3 sezioni.Il piano regge l’armonia in queste prime 2 strofe.Gli uomini entrano solo nella battuta che precede il ritornello per sostenere il crescendo sulla dominante minore che risolve nella tonica maggiore.Nel ritornello l’armonizzazione è a 4 voci (SATB) con finale all’unisono con accordo vuoto del pianoforte per rendere la tristezza del testo (vanno a ridere di te).La seconda parte è pensata invece come un accompagnamento strumentale delle voci che alternandosi creano un arpeggio armonico. Al termine del secondo ritornello, un rallentato deciso e una modulazione secca che determina la revisione dell’andamento armonico delle parti centrali. Piccolo gioco con le parole a batt. 60 e finale classicheggiante.

Instrumental Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1091262 Composed by Adrian Gagiu. Classical,Contemporary. Individual part. 28 pages. Adrian Gagiu #695427. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1091262). Piano sonata in Neoclassical style, developing the themes briefly tried out by Beethoven in the slow introduction to the Finale of his Sonata No. 29 op. 106 (1818). This first movement (Allegro moderato) utilizes the first two of those melodic and textural scraps as the two themes of a sonata form in a mostly delicate, fantasia-like manner, with time signature ambiguity and alternance. The second movement (Allegro) utilizes the next two of those melodic and textural scraps as the two themes of an agitated 'scherzo' in G sharp minor, with allusions to Bach's Prelude in C minor from the second book of 'The Well-Tempered Clavier' and to Beethoven's Bagatelle in G minor, op. 126 no. 2. The Finale (Largo - Allegro ma non troppo) utilizes first the searching sections of that Introduction, as an enigmatic preparation of the big surprise in the Finale proper: a set of nine, mostly powerful variations on a tone row, yet treated not entirely with the twelve-tone technique, but in extended tonality context. Variations 2-5 allude to motifs from the themes of the previous movements. The mp3 is a self-made recording of the first movement using a Graf 1826 fortepiano sampled by Modartt's Pianoteq.

Piano Trio Cello,Piano,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1488222 Composed by Ferdinand Ries. Arranged by Dianne James. Classical. 77 pages. Artaria Editions #1065108. Published by Artaria Editions (A0.1488222). The Piano Trio in E flat, Op.2 was published by Simrock in 1807 with a dedication to Monsieur le Comte de Browne, Brigadeur au Service de S.M.J. de toutes les Russies. It is a generously proportioned work in the usual three movements. The lengthy sonata-from first movement is prefaced by a slow introduction which begins on dominant seventh harmony (a nod perhaps to Beethoven's first symphony), slowly finding its way to the tonic by the start of the Allegro section. The brief development section modulates widely, including references to keys as distant as E minor and C major, while the substantially rewritten and varied recapitulation touches on both B and G majors. The slow movement, Andante un poco Allegretto , is cast in the key of C minor and features many solos and duets for the string instruments as well as further harmonic interest, especially in the central modulating episode from bar 46. The finale is a sonata-rondo design complete with all the usual tricks, including even a remote transposition of the refrain late in the movement to B major, a technique surely learned from Beethoven. The present edition reproduces as faithfully as possible the text of the trio as transmitted in Simrock's edition of the work, a copy of which is preserved in the Staatsbibliothek in Berlin. The piano part is most successfully realised on an instrument extending as far as c4, although since such instruments were by no means standard in the first decade of the 19th century, Ries has notated the part carefully to cater for instruments without an extended treble compass. Any alternative readings have been incorporated into the current edition exactly as they appear in the Simrock print. In an instance such as bars 298-309 of the finale for example, instruments with the extended compass should follow the small print in bars 298 and 309, and in between read the notes an octave higher according to the composer's 8ve marking. Instruments with a limited compass should play the notes as written, without the octave transposition of bars 299-309. The cello part contains several passages written in the treble clef. Evidence that these should sound an octave lower than written is provided by bars 74-80 of the first movement and 85-89 of the finale. In the first instance, awkward octave displacements would result if this passage were played literally; in the second instance, some unacceptable part crossing between violin and cello would result from a literal rendition of these two bars. Accordingly then, all passages written in the treble clef should be transposed down an octave. The style and notation of articulation and dynamic markings have been standardised throughout, and, where missing from the print, markings have been reconstructed from parallel passages. These are indicated by the use of dotted slurs or brackets where appropriate. Obvious wrong notes have been corrected without comment, and editorial emendations with no authority from the print are placed within brackets. Dianne James.

Full Orchestra - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1356636 Composed by Adrian Gagiu. 20th Century,Classical,Contemporary. 215 pages. Adrian Gagiu #941262. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1356636). The score, parts and vocal score of the Third Symphony (2000, revised 2023), an ambitious, modernist/neoclassical composition for orchestra and chorus with four vocal soloists. It may represent a search for harmony within and/or without and is a huge, subtle variations form on a theme that appears clearly and in full only in the Finale. The chromatic, first movement (Andante maestoso) begins mysteriously with A's in the unaccompanied violins, like a tuning or a seed of what is to come. These A's are adorned with oscillations which gradually become wider leaps until they reach the fifth (as in the beginning of the future full theme), and the other instruments join gradually. The mood is dark, tragic, pensive, and somehow abstract, as the music wanders in an almost improvisatory manner through chromatic modes and goes crescendo-decrescendo back again to the bare, cryptic A's. The energetic second movement (Allegro) is an enormous scherzo toying with the second melodic cell of the full theme, a descending tetrachord. This vital, Dionysian frenzy (in strong contrast to the Apollonian, severe contemplation in the first movement) leads only to its exhaustion and to the disorientated, slow Trio: first, an almost atonal tenor monologue accompanied by harp (on verses from Dante's Purgatory), then a quotation from Beethoven's sketches for a planned overture on the B-A-C-H motif, followed by a fugal section on the same archetypal motif and again a tenor monologue (on verses from Eminescu's Satire No. 4), this time with organ accompaniment and more and more tortured until the choral exclamations and the final cymbal clash. The search seemed in vain, so the rhythmic fury of the scherzo returns, but in mirror, as minor modes replaced the major ones on the same material. The Finale (Larghetto-Allegro-Larghetto) was inspired by the last scene in Goethe's Faust, part 2. After a cryptic variation for choir a cappella, the full theme appears at last in the orchestra, setting a lyric, appeased mood and more diatonic harmonies, while it reconciles the introspection of the first movement and the emotional and vital aspects of the second, although occasional attempts are made to escape, striving more and more towards the ending (with four vocal soloists and chorus). The parenthetic structure of the finale is a holographic reflection of the general form of the whole symphony, alternating gentle, contemplative episodes with exuberant or majestic fugatos. Towards the ending, ecstatic, big, complex quartal chords suggest the limits of perception and language (on the final stanzas from Dante's Paradise), until the sonority becomes again more and more rarefied and the journey returns to its starting point from the first movement: the 'tuning' A's in the violins. Total duration: 54 min. Performing Rights Organization: SOCAN. The mp3 audio clip is the second movement.

Full Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.942170 Composed by Georges Bizet. Arranged by Armin Terzer. Opera,Romantic Period. Score and parts. 259 pages. Armin Terzer #5048273. Published by Armin Terzer (A0.942170). This arrangement for full orchestra of the famous Bizet opera Carmen strings together all the major (and some of the secondary) themes into a 20-minute medley: - Prelude (Introduction to Act 1 Les Toreadors & Prelude to Act 1) - Chorus of the Street Boys (Act 1 Le garde montante) - Habanera - Song and Recitative - Seguidilla and Duet (Act 1 Seguedille) - Finale (Act 1 Finale) - Act II: Entr'acte (Prelude to Act 2 Les dragons d’Alcala) - Gypsy Song (Act 2 Danse Boheme) - Toreador Song (Act 2 Chanson du Toreador) - Act III: Entr'acte (Prelude to Act 3 Intermezzo) - Sextet and Chorus (Introduction to Act 3 Marche des contrebandiers) - Air (Act 3 Nocturne) - Act IV: Entr'acte (Prelude to Act 4 Aragonaise) - March and Chorus – Finale (Act 4 Procession of the Toreadors) All the themes featured in the two orchestral suites by Ernest Guiraud are included. There are, however, major differences: - the themes appear in chronological order (like in the opera) - there are no distinct movements, this is a 20-minute romp featuring tune after tune - most parts, especially repetitive songs, are abridged to varying degrees - where appropriate, sections seamlessly segue into the next- the major tunes (Les Toreadors, Gypsy Song, Toreador Song) allow for applause afterwards - the orchestration follows the original (double woodwinds, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, harp, timpani and 3 percussion, strings) with minimal changes to compensate for missing vocal lines Further cuts are possible and easy to make due to the clearly marked sections. This arrangement is meant to rival the orchestral suites in excitement and colours - but in a more organic/continuous format. It is ideal for any level orchestra (intermediate+) in any kind of setting.
