Daily Grooves for Bass with CD
By Patrick Pfeiffer
Bass Guitar
Carl Fischer Music GT214 • $19.95 |
New York City bassist and teacher Patrick Pfeiffer has created a regimen that will teach the developing bassist how to become truly great, through practice, discipline, and perseverance. But who said it has to be boring? Daily Grooves for Bass is jam-packed with a different groove for every day of the year – and these funky, hip, and inspiring exercises will get newcomers reading and playing grooves worthy of any bassist’s repertoire. Bassists can forget the “chore” of trudging through a typical exercise book, as grooves are limited to one or two measures and then repeat, just like bass grooves in real playing situations. Players can capture the musical flow of each groove, try them out in their own bands, make them their own, and enjoy riding their “groove-waves”! Daily Grooves for Bass is written in standard notation, with TAB files available on the included CD, which also contains all of the grooves in MP3 format. For intermediate to advanced players. |

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. |

24 Progressive Studies
for the Flute, Op. 33
By Joachim Andersen
Annotated by Charles DeLaney
Edited by Eva Amsler Carl Fischer Music WF84 • $9.95
|
Carl Fischer Music presents a new spin on a classic teaching method with this edition of Joachim Andersen’s 24 Progressive Studies for the Flute, Op. 33. While all of the original etudes are included, flute pedagogue Professor Charles DeLaney has expanded them to include notes in the upper range of the instrument, updating this book for the flute’s modern incarnation. DeLaney also lends his sharp wit to this edition, having cleverly named the etudes and also has provided helpful and humorous practice notes for each. As a special bonus, this book also features “DeLaney’s Daily Dozen,” a set of practice exercises guaranteed to improve technique and musicality. Essentially a complete method built on a proven collection of etudes, Delaney’s edition of 24 Progressive Studies for the Flute, Op. 33 is absolutely essential for serious flute students. For intermediate to advanced players.

Quintet No. 1 for Winds
By Larry Clark
Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Horn and Bassoon
Carl Fischer Music
WE8 – Score and Parts $24.95
WE8F – Full Score $9.95
|
| Carl Fischer Music Editor-in-Chief and veteran composer Larry Clark has penned a beautiful quintet for winds, commissioned by the Ars Nova Quintet at James Madison University in 1991, where it was premiered. Quartal and quintal harmonies are the driving force behind this piece in three movements; each exploring a different style. “Frolic” is inspired by Stravinsky’s use of stacked fifths, “Song” is melancholy and thoughtful, and “Rondo” goes out with a bang, loosely following the rondo format and ending soundly in F major. For advanced players. |

Written by David Vining, a leading brass educator with extensive orchestral, chamber, and solo performance experience, Ear Training for Trombone is a comprehensive and progressively organized method for improving the ear of students on any brass instrument. In turn, this brings marked improvement in tone, intonation, pitch accuracy, and musical understanding.

Twenty-four Virtuoso Etudes
Venjamin Sher
Violin
Carl Fischer Music BF48 • $19.95 |
| Carl Fischer Music presents the first U.S. edition of violin pedagogue Venjamin Sher’s Twenty-four Virtuoso Etudes. Previously available only in Russia, Venjamin Sher’s violin etudes, written between 1954 and 1959, are acclaimed and required literature for all violinists in the former Soviet Union. First published by the Compozitor Publishing House of St. Petersburg, Sher’s etudes reflect a lifetime of experience as a performer and teacher. This collection sets itself apart from other instructional compilations in that it incorporates new forms and textures discovered by the composer, and while practicality is its focus, artistic value is never compromised, drawing from the example of etude collections by Nicolo Paganini and Henryk Wieniawski. This beautiful new edition is edited by esteemed professor of violin Klimenty Veksler, who also lends valuable insight with a foreword. Students and professional violinists alike will find Sher’s Twenty-four Virtuoso Etudes greatly useful in honing both technique and expression. |
