114-42363 - $11.99
Whitman’s epic “Song of the Open Road” is an inspiring metaphor encouraging us to find and explore our own paths, free of anchors or artificial boundaries. Dorff uses 5 brief passages from the poem as movement titles, setting the stage for a suite of sometimes-edgy soliloquies in which the music (and the flutist) explores these open roads.

The Gibb DUO’s succinct movement titles (I. Here, II. Open, III. Stark, IV. Ardent) tease at revealing the grand and heartfelt inspiration for exuberant romanticism in this sonata-like work of symphonic proportions and depth. Gibb is both an accomplished pianist and an award-winning flutist, who has written of this compelling major addition to the literature: “This work is a journey. What journey and whose journey does not matter. It is my journey, it is your journey. It is the journey of those who came before us, and of those who will come after us. I wrote this hoping that we can find each other along the road, so we can realize that we don’t need to go on the journey alone.” Gibb’s DUO is sure to become a favorite major work for flute recitalists.

114-42260 - Score and Parts - $16.99
Both deep and charming, LITTLE SUITE IN F combines Hailstork’s dry wit with heart, and modernism with nostalgic beauty. The suite’s four movements include a prelude of atypical texture and colors, a dance movement evoking waltz or menuet, a solemn solo movement for the violin alone, and finally a lullaby with a melody inspired by spirituals.

One of the bravest and most potent calls to social action by one individual was the famous 1955 refusal by Rosa Parks to give up her bus seat, laying the groundwork for the ensuing civil rights movement. Hailstork’s title says it all, and his dramatically expressive work for solo viola declaims it all. Using a musical language that evokes action, blues, and power, along with a considerable infusion of contemplation and determination, ROSA PARKS SAID “NO” is a 9-minute instrumental monodrama perfect for any concert recital as well as special programming needs. The work's premiere by violist Philippe Chao may be heard at https://youtu.be/xHFJ-L-Bcxc

ST. PAUL’S BLUES is inspired by early jazz and blues traditions, yet with a fresh twist. This 5-minute recital work begins with a slow, dark melody full of vocal-styled nuances, leading to variations and embellishments with the freedom afforded by unaccompanied instrumental solos. ST. PAUL’S BLUES was commissioned by the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra for flutist Alicia McQuerrey to premiere on the SPCO’s website during the 2020-21 pandemic season. Ms. McQuerrey's performance is available at https://content.thespco.org/music/concert-library/composition/saint-pauls-blues-adolphus-hailstork

Composed as a memorial tribute, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN is a beautifully gratifying slow movement living mainly in the sweet spots of the bass flute’s lower register. Equally fitting as a short contrast on a full recital, the work also soars with cantabile in the high register. A beautifully moving performance is available at https://youtu.be/bUZ8uu9v36w

Composed for her own performances, Laurel Zucker’s DOG TOYS SUITE is a short collection of adorable and jazzy little concert etudes which may be performed as a fast-slow-fast set, or as individual movements. I. Duck Pond is a melody that flows through ornamental variations, II. Moo the Blues is gutsy and less demanding on the fingers, and III. Minimal Donkey is a dazzling toccata-like etude. Zucker has recorded DOG TOYS SUITE for Cantilena Records.

This theatrical miniature has carved a unique place in music literature, thanks to many warm hearts and minds. In 2005 the distinguished violinist Kelly Hall-Tompkins started a project called Music Kitchen where the homeless and needy, after a meal provided by a soup kitchen, were treated to a concert performed by some of the best musicians in New York. After these concerts, Hall-Tompkins asked the listeners for comments. This became inspiration for Zwilich’s MUSIC KITCHEN INTERPLAY, which includes vocal settings of listeners’ comments in musical counterpoint with reworked fragments of her Fantasy for Solo Violin.

Michael Sachs, Principal Trumpet of The Cleveland Orchestra since 1988, presents a compendium of practice sequences to woodshed and refine over 50 excerpts from the orchestral trumpet literature, from Bach through the
modern masters.
PRACTICE SEQUENCES shows each original excerpt, followed by a progressive series of work routines to isolate a variety of building-block elements including intervals, rhythm, articulation, intonation, range, and dynamics. These practice
sequences lead the performer to accurate facility and performance, while providing practice strategies that are applicable to any other challenging music beyond the examples in the book — a perfect companion to Sachs’ book THE ORCHESTRAL
TRUMPET.

114-42366 - Performance Scores - $29.99
In this playful duet, master composer Samuel Adler spins out melodies with inexhaustible imagination. Amiable dialogue carries the listener from beginning to end, while shifting meters and unexpected harmonies keep the music fresh and surprising. The tender, rocking middle section is a welcome contrast before returning to the dance. For advanced performers.

Flute, Organ
114-42391 - Score and Parts - $28.99
Samuel Adler’s IMPROVISATION AND WALTZ delights performers and listeners by treating traditional genres in non-traditional ways. The familiar waltz rhythm is offset by carefully inserted bars of two, toying with expectations while retaining the dance’s underlying character. In the very free “improvisation” sections, Adler takes full advantage of the organ’s scope, creating broad swaths of slowly shifting harmony beneath the flute’s languid, searching lines. For advanced performers.
Lora Al-Ahmad

Cello, Piano
114-42255 - Score and Parts - $21.99
Subtitled “A Musical Tribute to Václav Havel,” ELEGY for cello and piano by Lora Al-Ahmad commemorates the thirtieth anniversary of the Velvet Revolution. The music seeks (and eventually finds) assurance and calm through a sea of turbulent heartache. The composer includes a quotation from The Bartered Bride in tribute to Havel, who loved and admired Smetana’s music. For advanced performers.

114-42256 - Score and Parts - $24.99
MUTUAL is a dreamy single-movement work for violin and piano that navigates numerous moods and textures in its seven-minute span with elegance and poise. At times, it is a showpiece for the violin; at others, a rich “song without words,” with both instruments engaged as equal partners. The real magic of the music is in its ability to shift freely between these distant worlds and bring them near to one another. For advanced performers.
Lora Al-Ahmad

Trumpet in C, Piano
114-42257 - Score and Parts - $21.99
ON THE BRIGHT SIDE is a sweeping and sunny work for trumpet and piano. Trumpeters will revel in the opportunities to showcase their instrument’s expressivity, as well as surprising colors created by various kinds of mutes, glissando and portamento effects, and delicate tremolos. For advanced performers.

WANDERING MIND is a mercurial dialogue in three parts for flute and bassoon. Part I is a spirited, rhythmic exchange of contrapuntal fragments with many twists and turns. Part II, a languorous and melodious duet. Finally, Part III is a jagged dance in mixed meters that surprises and excites. For advanced performers.
Chen Yi
Theodore Presser Company
Harp
114-42396 - $13.99
Shadowy lines traced in fading colors suggest a mountain range in silhouette against the night sky in this mesmerizing and poetic miniature for solo harp. The composer takes the instrument’s full range as her canvas, carrying the listener’s imagination from distant peaks to shrouded foothills. Particularly memorable is a recurring tremolo motif played with a wooden drumstick on the instrument’s lowest strings. DARK MOUNTAINS is artistically refined, but not virtuosic, making it a novel and approachable addition to the repertoire for developing and professional harpists alike.

“Spring Vitality,” the first movement of Chen Yi’s SONG OF SPRING for string quartet, embeds rhythmic speech in quietly churning fragments of polyphony to suggest the sounds of falling rain, sure to captivate audiences of all kinds. This expression of the gentler side of spring is contrasted with a stormy middle section, full of double stops and tremolos in driving rhythms. The second movement, “Earth Dance,” is lively and angular, combining elements from jazz and Beijing opera into a distinctive sonic palette. For advanced performers.

Commissioned by flutist John Solum and written in 1967, Aulos was premiered in 1971 by the Indiana University Chamber Orchestra, with John Solum acting as the soloist and Wolfgang Vaccano conducting. The work derives its name from the eponymous ancient Greek instrument, which was double-reeded and contained a two-piece pipe and finger holes. One piece contained a bag that allowed for a continuous sound, making it more akin to bagpipes than to the modern-day flute, while the other piece acted independently of the first. In Kay’s work, the texture of the supporting instruments act as the supporting, yet highly reactive drone, while the flute acts as the melodic piece. Originally scored for solo flute, 2 horns, percussion, and strings, the piano reduction of this acclaimed, haunting work has been made available for the first time through this new edition.

B3479 - Score and Parts - $21.99
19th-century composer Emilie Mayer was prolific in her creation, writing eight symphonies, eight violin sonatas, twelve cello sonatas, seven string quartets, and six piano trios during her career. Although Mayer's music was well-known during her lifetime, it has largely only survived through original handwritten manuscripts. The material in this edition is taken directly from Mayer’s handwritten score, and marks the first version of her Sonata in C minor to be produced by a major publisher.
Wilhelm Wurm (ed. Michael Sachs)
Carl Fischer Music
WF239 - Methods - $29.99
Wilhelm Wurm was one of the most important influences on the evolution of cornet/trumpet playing and teaching in the second half of the nineteenth century. Initially this collection of 120 etudes was in three separate books: 60 Etudes for Cornet á Piston or Trumpet, 40 Etudes for Cornet á Piston or Trumpet, and 20 Difficult Studies for Cornet á Piston or Trumpet (renamed here as 20 Advanced Studies for Cornet á Piston or Trumpet). Wurm adapted some of these etudes from existing studies, utilizing excerpts from Georg Kopprasch’s 60 Etudes for High Horn, Op.5 and 60 Etudes for Low Horn, Op. 6, Franz Wilhelm Ferling’s 48 Etudes for Oboe, Op. 31 and 18 Studies for Oboe, Op. 12, as well as Ernst Sachse’s 100 Etudes for Trumpet, in addition to using his own compositions in this collection. Wurm even borrowed from himself, using virtually the exact same notes for Etudes No. 2 and No. 34 in all but the last fifteen and five measures, respectively. Many of the etudes in this collection can also be used as transposition studies. Sachs has included suggested dynamics in his edition, while also encouraging exploration of tone color, style, note length, and character variations within the etudes. This collection serves as an indispensable tool for developing trumpet players, perfect for technical work in the studio and at home.

This arrangement of J.S. Bach’s Six Suites for Solo Cello, transcribed by David Baldwin and edited by David Bertie, distributes the original material between the two trumpet players with careful consideration, so that both players have significant melodic lines and rests. Baldwin has altered the keys of the suites in order to better accommodate the instruments, indicated tempo markings and dynamics in the score, and added notated ornamentation. For advanced players.

Promethean Editions
Piano, Violin, Violoncello
PE039 - Parts - $35.00
The style of Farr's Ahi varies in each of its four movements. The flavour of a French lullaby predominates in the instantly appealing first movement; an intense and unrelenting second movement harbours overtones of a military factory via aggressive pizzicato and a syncopated piano part; while a Balinese pop-inspired fourth movement contains numerous gamelan-like effects.
Vincent Ho

PE214 - Full Score - $25.00
Vincent Ho’s Supervillain Études fixate on six supervillains from comic book culture, with three etudes per volume. Ho found that each of these villains are extreme expressions of psychological disorders and decided to dive into their psychological profiles collaborating with choreographers to see their takes on animating each of the profiles. The Supervillain Études take gestural cues from choreography while maintaining the profiles and personalities of the aforementioned supervillains, forming a compellingly moody, exciting, and villainous set of works.

These folksong settings by world-renowned harpsichordist, Wanda Landowska, evoke the Polish countryside where she spent much of her childhood. The settings are scored for harpsichord, flute, oboe, bassoon and occasionally strings in homage to the fondness of woodwinds and bagpipes. When the scores of the settings were confiscated during World War II, Landowska reconstructed them from memory, dictating to editor Denise Restout.
Alan Ridout (arr. Elisabeth Parry)
Aurea Capra Editions
Flute, Piano
494-03227 - Score and Parts - $24.99
This previously unpublished flute sonata by Alan Ridout was originally written in 1987 for flute and harp. After the composer’s death in 1996 the manuscript was placed in the archives of Ampleforth Abbey where it lay undiscovered until its publication in this edition. The original harp part has been revised for piano to bring it to a wider audience, but it remains equally playable for harp. With sparkling outer movements flanking a middle movement of exquisite beauty and simplicity, this work is a valuable addition to the 20th century flute sonata repertoire. Suitable for intermediate to advanced players. Recorded piano accompaniment and separate harp part available to download.

A collection of favourite French romantic melodies by Gounod, Saint-Saëns, Massenet, Hahn, Chausson, Duparc, Offenbach and Godard, arranged for flute and piano. Drawn from art song and opera, the lyrical beauty of these melodies provides an opportunity to explore and delight in expression and tone colour. These gems of the French repertoire are perfectly suited to the voice of the flute and make ideal short concert pieces.

494-03229 - Score and Parts - $16.99
Composed around 1924, the Divertissement was first performed in 1937 by Marcel Moyse and colleagues in Paris. The work displays Koechlin’s understanding of the expressive and technical capabilities of the flute, with flowing melodic lines and a brilliant finale. The original parts, however, were riddled with inconsistencies and errors, so the piece was rarely performed. This edition presents for the first time a comprehensively revised and edited full score with individual performance parts

Piano reduction to Leshnoff's second Violin Concerto. "Tuneful, toe-tapping, vividly rhythmic, Leshnoff's Violin Concerto No. 2 is a most appealing work: neoclassical Stravinsky meets Samuel Barber meets minimalism". Dallas Morning News, May, 2018.

Leshnoff Publishing
496-00138 - Study Score - $39.99
"Of Thee I Sing" was composed to mark the 25th anniversary of the April 19 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. At first, Leshnoff’s music depicts the fear and confusion of the event itself. When the chorus finally enters in the last third of the piece, Leshnoff uses the familiar tune of "My Country ‘Tis of Thee" as an ironic reflection on the tragedy. Leshnoff gradually transforms the tune, integrating it with the material that has come before and creating a conglomerate that tries to make sense of both tragedy and the human ability to persist in the face of it. By the end, with one last refrain of the tune and sedate sustained chords in the strings, some peace seems to have been achieved.

510-07938 - Full Score - $187.00
Composed in 1834, Liszt's Grand duo is based on material from three pieces from the first book (op. 19b) of Mendelssohn's Songs without Words (no. 1 in E major, no. 6 in G minor, and no. 3 in A major). While Liszt made an almost literal transcription of the first piece, he gave the second and third pieces a much freer arrangement, in the style of concert paraphrases. The large-scale concert piece was premiered by Liszt and Chopin on Christmas Day 1834 in a salon in Paris. The Grand duo was not published in Liszt's lifetime, and has survived as a draft. This volume comes complete with a detailed preface in English, German, and Hungarian containing new research findings, several manuscript facsimiles, and a critical report in English.

Convergence means "coming together," which is something your band will do very well as they learn to play this song. The composition opens in a chorale style, quickly moving to a faster tempo and returning to the chorale. The 1st trumpet's highest note is B-flat and no clarinets cross the break.

Hangin' Ten is one of two movements of a composition called "Barefeet." The works may be played separately or together in a concert. This movement opens with sounds that are a bit mystical, then moving to a Latin jazz/rock style. It is quite syncopated and a fun song for your audience. The ranges are mostly within a Grade 4, though the last note of the Trumpet is C. Rhythmically it is challenging and a bit reminiscent of "West Side Story."

Ever Forward, Ever Onward is a wonderful piece written in concert B-flat and only uses notes within the scale. The clarinets do not go over the break. If students have been playing for at least a semester, this piece will be just challenging enough to make them want to work, but not so hard that they give up. The lines are interesting, too, no matter what instrument you can play. Students will love to play this and I hope you have fun. 1st trumpet’s highest note is A.

Only the first clarinet crosses the break. 1st trumpet's highest note is E.
