October 2011
Polish Folk Songs By Lee Hyla Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Violin, Viola, Violoncello, Percussion, Piano From the composer: “Polish Folk Songs was inspired by music I heard on a trip I took to Zakopane, a town that is located a the foot of the Tatra Mountains in Southern Poland. I was completely taken by the music of the region, which can be characterized as clear, mournful, unpredictable in tempo and meter, and of vibrant timbre. In my composition I have taken a number of the songs commonly heard in the area and re-combined them, allowing them to bump heads as well as interact peacefully.” In three movements, Polish Folk Songs was commissioned by Catherine and Paul Buttenweiser for Boston Musica Viva, who premiered it in May of 2007. For advanced players. Instrumental parts are available on custom print. Carl Fischer Music MXE18F — Score — $55.25 See a page (JPG)

	Error Detection: Exercises for the Instrumental Conductor By Robert Spradling Teacher's Edition Carl Fischer Music JB92 • $184.95 Student's Edition Carl Fischer Music JB93 • $34.95
FREE TRIAL DOWNLOAD - Try out Error Detection with your students!
The Error Detection: Exercises for the Instrumental Conductor texts are designed to improve the critical listening skills of the conducting student through real music excerpts that contain planted errors in the parts for the conductor to find. Both books contain 54 excerpts from standard band literature from grades 2 to grade 6 so students gain knowledge of real music they can use later, not just non-musical etudes. The teacher's edition contains over 350 pages of materials with analysis sheets and answer keys to help the conducting teacher to easily evaluate the student's progress. The teacher's edition also comes with a CD-ROM containing all of the instrumental parts for all of the musical excerpts as PDF files, so the teacher can just print the amount of parts needed for each example, and the examples are arranged to sound satisfying with as little as five players. The Error Detection program has been tested for over 3 years at major university programs like the University of Minnesota, Illinois State University, and the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati.

	Textures and Timbres: An Orchestrator’s Handbook By Henry Brant Carl Fischer Music TXT6 • $39.95
Henry Brant’s new guide to orchestration is, in fact, the result of his lifelong work as a conductor, composer, and teacher; its first page written in the 1940s, and its final page written in 2005. In observation of other orchestration texts throughout his life, Brant realized that many were incomplete, in that they gave instructions based on “hoped-for evocations of mystic visions” rather than the actual, practical qualities of instruments. Textures and Timbres focuses on the study of acoustic instrumental tone-qualities, offering comprehensive systematic procedures for balancing and mixing them, both in harmonic and linear contexts. The lessons and inspiration shared in this text span Brant’s entire career, from his work in commercial radio to his orchestration classes at the Juilliard School and orchestrations of numerous Hollywood film scores. Textures and Timbres: An Orchestrator’s Handbook is an absolutely vital tool for the conductor.

	Sinfonietta (1971) Yevhen Stankovych Orchestra - Full Score Edition Carl Fischer Music SC62 • $29.95
Sinfonietta is an early orchestral work composed by one of the most celebrated Ukranian composers in contemporary music, Yevhen Stankovych (b. September 1942, Svalyava). From the biographical notes: “While his technique is contemporary and evinces a wide-ranging familiarity with Western compositional developments, Stankovych also has a flair for incorporating folkloric elements into his style.”
