Studies in Lyricism
Horn in F
For the Advancing Student
From the Works of Concone, Marchesi and Panofka
Compiled and Edited by Larry Clark

One of the most difficult aspects of playing a wind instrument is to incorporate the lyrical qualities of the human voice. Serious students on wind instruments spend a good portion of their time playing etudes that emphasize beauty of tone and elegance of phrasing to improve their total musicianship. These studies have been carefully chosen from the music of Concone, Marchesi and Panofka and are organized in a progressive order for advancing students. These etudes are a welcome addition to the repertoire as fine introductions to the standard lyrical etudes that are more geared toward the college/university/conservatory student. This is a must have set of studies for the student that is seriously preparing for the next level of playing.

Late Afternoon
Six Songs for Mezzo Soprano
Poems by Jane Kenyon, Jean Valentine and Marie Howe
By Ricky Ian Gordon

This is a heartfelt cycle of songs by Ricky Ian Gordon set the poetry of three important American poets, Jane Kenyon, Jean Valentine and Marie Howe. After a major personal loss, Gordon turned to the poetry of these women who speak of loss and death in a way that he found particularly consoling. The songs are beautifully written for a medium voice with Gordon’s usual care. A dissonant and colorful keyboard part is a great enhancement to the generally reflective tone of the music. Gordon’s moving setting of the late Jane Kenyon’s heartbreaking Let Evening Come is destined to be a recital classic. Late Afternoon was commissioned by Tisch Center of the Arts at the 92nd Street Y and was made possible with funds provided by the Mary Flagler Charitable Trust.
