Ravel’s TZIGANE is among the only concerto-like violin solos from the coloristically rich Impressionist repertoire. This exotic showpiece is thoroughly infused with melodies and accompaniments in the style of Hungarian folk music, and Ravel composed the work with accompaniments for piano and for orchestra. Jeffrey Heisler’s brilliant transcription for soprano sax captures all the sparkle of Ravel’s violin writing and is fully compatible with both authentic versions, to allow optimum performance for saxophonists with either accompaniment. Heisler takes advantage of slap tongue and altissimo to create a dazzling showpiece, expanding the repertoire for the advanced saxophonist.

A rarity among Schocker’s unaccompanied flute works, MEAD AND MUSH is strongly evocative of Shakespearean times and may also be played on recorder. The four movements are inspired by song and dance of Elizabethan style, and the final movement indicates optional accompaniment by a Bodhrán (an Irish frame drum). The title MEAD AND MUSH refers to British food of the Renaissance, and the music is within reach of intermediate players.

The magic in WHAT’S OLD IS NEW is revealed in the title of this set of 4 movements. While the entire work is similar to Baroque flute music in general language and use of ornamentation, this dance suite is full of fresh challenges in counting, phrasing, and surprises. Technically within reach of intermediate performers, the subtle twists make it an effective teaching piece and a charming recital work for professionals as well as students.

Petite Suite

for saxophone quartet

Béla Bartók

Universal Edition

Soprano Saxophone in Bb, Alto Saxophone in Eb, Tenor Saxophone in Bb, Baritone Saxophone in Eb

UE038085 - Score and Parts - $32.50 - Available in Canada Only

For the "Petite Suite" Bartók had six movements from his "44 Duos for two violins" fused into one piano work. Dutch composer and saxophonist van Zoelen has now arranged the suite for his instrument, using soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones. The resulting range due to the different registers of the members of the saxophone family creates a lively quartet of medium difficulty. Tone colours, intensity and transparency even seem to be intensified by the instrumentation.

In this album, the experienced flutist, saxophonist and composer Marcin Langer offers 20 arrangements of Bartók’s miniatures "44 Duos for two violins". The difficulty ranges from easy to moderate. What is special about this edition is that for most of the pieces you can use another Bb instrument, e.g. a soprano or a tenor saxophone.

Claude Debussy

Wiener Urtext

Flute

UT050173 - Full Score - $8.95

The posthumous edition has for a long time been regarded as the only known source. However, the new edition by Wiener Urtext Edition is based on a manuscript discovered some years ago. La Flute de Pan was first performed in 1913 by Louis Fleury as an accompaniment to the play ‘Psyché’ by Gabriel Mourey. The manuscript was discovered in the area where Debussy and Louis Fleury were at the time. This source has made it possible to assign both parts of the work precisely to the corresponding text in the drama. This has been documented through extensive use of pictures and text in the publication.

The Singing Trumpet

Using Singing and Speech as Literal Models for Trumpet Performance

Peter Bond

Carl Fischer Music

See Inside (JPG)

Long time principal trumpet player for the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, Peter Bond brings a unique vantage point to his comprehensive book, The Singing Trumpet: Using Singing and Speech as Literal Models for Trumpet Performance. This revolutionary approach to airflow and resonance gives trumpet players greater projection with less strain by transforming their tone production through analogies with singing and speech. As he notes: “For twenty-eight years, I’ve observed the world’s greatest opera singers. Without histrionic breathing or red-faced straining, they can fill the 3800-seat Metropolitan Opera House with magnificent sound. Some can overpower a 100-piece orchestra. I began to think; ‘We brass players are taught to blow, but what if instead we use our air and resonance of our body more like opera singers?’”

MEDITATION ON THE NAME BACH is an alluring 4-minute work, perfectly described by its title. The piece begins with Bb-A-C-B natural, which is the musical transliteration of B-A-C-H in German-language note spelling. The composition is a meditative exploration of the B-A-C-H pattern through other keys, resolving peacefully to open strings in the final measures.

THE SOLITUDE OF STARS is a 5-minute work for viola and piano. It depicts the composer’s awe at experiencing a nighttime view of the starry heavens, shining brightly over the vast expanse of the Wyoming prairie. The slow passage of time is evoked by slowly rocking eighth-notes, creating a gentle texture.

Beethoven Takes Five

arr. Aleksey Igudesman

Universal Edition

Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Violoncello

UE038099 - Parts - $39.95

Brace yourselves, Beethoven lovers and purists everywhere; here is the famous Fifth Symphony as you never dared to imagine it! In "Beethoven Takes Five", Aleksey has changed the meter to an audacious 5/4… but that’s just the beginning of his machinations! He throws in Mexican music, latin, swing and jazz and, in his own words, "all sorts of other abominations on top". The result is an amazing piece, perhaps suitable for a concert encore, that can be played by string quartet alone or with a piano. The piano doubles and supports the strings and thereby make the piece approachable by intermediate players

See Inside (JPG)

This collection of Marga Richter’s complete works for solo piano comprises twenty-eight pieces, composed over a period of six decades, from the curiously eccentric Ballet of the Pixilated Penguins of 1944 to the introspective Reverie of 2017. Her works for solo piano present a rich bounty of pieces of great diversity, musically and stylistically. Some pieces are serious, some comical, some lyrical, some energetic. Some are intended for beginners and intermediate players; others specifically focus on the professional concert pianist. Yet what is common to all of these pieces is that they were written with a profound understanding of the instrument; Marga herself was an accomplished pianist, who had studied in her youth with the renowned Rosalyn Tureck at the Juilliard School of Music. Humor, wit, seriousness, and originality make this catalog a unique and rewarding addition to the pianist's collection.

NORA’S DANCE is a jazz-influenced rag from 1921, and among the only surviving compositions by Nora Douglas Holt. A charming and exciting work rejuvenated by Lara Downes’ 2021 recording for the Rising Sun label, the rag is both a fun 2 minutes for pianists and audiences, and also a fascinating time capsule. Composed several years after Scott Joplin’s death, and several years before the Charleston pervaded popular music, NORA’S DANCE blossoms with the energy and jazz harmony starting to emerge as The Roaring 20’s, using ragtime and stride as the seed for pianistic style.

Originally a song from a Broadway show, LOVE WILL FIND A WAY has been arranged by pianist Jeremy Siskind especially for Lara Downes’ recording that launches the Rising Sun series.

The two works in this publication are Tangamerican and Fugal Dance. In the words of editor John Michael Cooper, Tangamerican is melodically, harmonically, and stylistically rich, but succinct – just thirty-eight measures long -- two and a half minutes in “tempo tango.” Fugal Dance is extraordinarily complex musically. This notable work has a dramatic shape that proceeds from dissonance, confusion, and strife to a sense of victory and triumph.

The new edition is published as a single edition following the revised new edition of all Beethoven's piano sonatas published in 2018/19. The edition is based on the first edition published in 1799, the second edition by the original publisher published soon afterwards and some early reprints. The latter are particularly important as supplementary sources, since neither the autograph nor copies of them have survived. The Critical Report (in German and English) informs about the importance of the sources and the editorial decisions. The trilingual preface provides historical background information. In addition, the performance-practical remarks by Beethoven's pupil Carl Czerny offer first-hand interpretative advice.

Odd Moments was written for the Da Capo Chamber Players in 1999 in celebration of George Perle’s 85th birthday. The piece was revised in 2009, resulting in a version that is a few minutes shorter. The title of the piece obliquely refers to Perle’s late piece Critical Moments, and also to an aspect of Perle’s system of 12-tone tonality, which distinguishes between odd and even harmonies. With subtle timbral shifts, frequent metric changes, and an ingenious use of unison and octave unison throughout, this piece is a sophisticated yet playful addition to the modified Pierrot ensemble literature.

Trio for Flute, Viola, and Guitar

Flute, Viola, Guitar

494-03177 - $24.95

See Inside (JPG)

The Trio for Flute, Viola and Guitar is in two movements. "Light Through the Trees” opens with a simple folk-like melody, utilizing the overtones and open sonorities of the guitar. It develops as a dialogue between viola and flute, alternating between 5/8 and 3/4, creating a distinct polyphonic texture. The “Samatureya” movement starts with a violent unison that will later be incorporated into the thematic material of the whole piece. A Brazilian samba rhythm is quoted prominently in the guitar part. Concluding the piece is an evocative return to the introduction of the first movement.

The name “Samatureya” has no literal meaning and owes its creation to a game that I play with my granddaughter, making up words. In considering the overall feeling of the music, and what might follow “Light Through the Trees”, the name “Samatureya" suddenly appeared in my imagination, and felt exactly right.

Originally composed for solo organ, Hailstork’s fanfare is a 3½-minute explosion of joyous sound inspired by the Baroque-era tradition of Chorale Preludes. As in Bach’s organ preludes, the familiar hymn’s phrases broadly emerge from ornate counterpoint, here in the form of brass fanfares. The result is exhilarating! Also scored by Hailstork for chamber ensemble and for orchestra, FANFARE ON AMAZING GRACE was transcribed for concert band in January 2021 by MGySgt Don Patterson, staff arranger for “The President’s Own” United States Military Band, for that ensemble’s worldwide broadcast performance at the 2021 Presidential Inauguration.

Sea shanties (or chanties) are songs sung by sailors to keep them synchronized (and mentally interested) while doing the hard labor of sailing. "Paddy Lay Back" is a capstan shanty, a capstan being a vertically-axled rotating machine used to raise and lower a ship's anchor. Sailors would rotate the capstan by pushing poles radiating from it, with three or four men working a pole. The song would help them keep momentum; if not, something could slip. Not only would the anchor drop uncontrolled, but the capstan would spin quickly and the poles could throw and harm the sailors. 1st trumpet's highest note is G. 1st & 2nd clarinets cross the break

Edited by John Michael Cooper. Those who know the composer from the melodic richness and emotional intensity of her works “Troubled Water”, “The Negro Speaks of Rivers”, and “Three Dream Portraits” will recognize her voice in the present songs. The Millay settings are remarkable for their symphonic textures and sense of drama. Bonds’ music renders the compelling and occasionally heart-wrenchingly painful beauty of feminist thinking and female sexuality in tones as profoundly moving as Millay’s poems themselves – a feat rarely matched by other composers who have set these iconic poetic utterances to music. Now published for the first time, these settings are poised to assume their rightful position as milestones in twentieth-century art song and feminist song generally.
