Une musique pour l'oreille, exigeante sans être rébarbative, originale sans être déconcertante.' La vision première de l'oeuvre est sonore, fugace, violente et définitive. Et puis... et puis vient le temps de l'écriture...une errance chargée d'encre et de papier, tentative d'écrire dans sa propre langue ce qu'on ne sait pas encore écrire 'Né en 1960 à Perpignan, Bruno Giner commence ses études musicales à Toulouse, puis dans sa ville natale et à Barcelone. A Paris, il suit régulièrement les cours de Pierre Boulez au Collège de France et travaille la composition (électroacoustique et instrumentale) successivement avec Luis de Pablo, Ivo Malec et Brian Ferneyhough.Aujourd'hui, ses oeuvres sont jouées dans de nombreux festivals français et internationaux, et sont interprétées par différents ensembles de musique contemporaine (Aleph, Sic, Fa, L'instant donné, Grame, Nomos, Motus, Intercontemporain, Quatuor Arditti, Klangheimlich, Frullato, Xasax, Ars Nova Nürnberg, Ixtla, Slowind). ' Ce n'est pas la moindre qualité de la musique de Bruno Giner que de nous permettre de mesurer l'étendue de nos préjugés (enfin, je parle pour moi), a écrit Bertrand Dubedout. Restons à l'écoute. Ce compositeur, dont la réflexion et la démarche se nourrissent aussi bien de Boulez ou Ferneyhough, que de Schaeffer ou de Malec, et qu'une insatiable curiosité conduit aussi bien chez Schumann ou Machaut que chez les Pygmées, nous réserve encore bien des surprises, nous mijote bien des émerveillements 'Son catalogue comporte des pièces pour solistes, des partitions de musique de chambre, de la musique vocale, orchestrale, des oeuvres pour l'apprentissage, etc. Sa musique révèle un caractère charnel, parfois virtuose, une énergie canalisée par la formalisation d'une écriture rigoureuse qui n'empêche pas un travail plus empirique sur la morphologie et la matière sonore.En 1998, Bruno Giner reçoit le Prix Hervé Dugardin décerné par la SACEM pour l'ensemble de son oeuvre.Parmi ses dernières compositions, citons Paraphrase sur ' Guernica ' de Paul Dessau pour clarinette, violoncelle, piano et percussions (2003), TCP 17 pour harpe, guitare et mandoline (2005), Clameurs, concertino pour deux percussions et ensemble à vents (2006), Charlie opéra de chambre d'après Matin brun de Franck Pavloff (2007), Extra pour huit violoncelles (2007-2008), Quatuor #3 pour quatuor à cordes et percussion (2008). Parallèlement à ses activités compositionnelles, Bruno Giner a régulièrement collaboré à différentes revues musicales, encyclopédies ou labels discographiques (The New Grove, La Lettre du Musicien, Les cahiers du CIREM, Musica falsa, Motus, etc). Par ailleurs, il signe trois livres : Musique contemporaine : le second vingtième siècle (Editions Durand, 2000), Toute la musique ? (Editions Autrement Junior, 2003), De Weimar à Térézine 1933-1945 : l'épuration musicale (Editions Van de Velde, 2006). / Clavier, Piano Et Solo

Description Featuring songs by the renowned composer and master of the prepared Piano Volker Bertelmann, AKA Hauschka, Solo Pieces is a wonderful compilation of some of his most beautifully engrossing and hypnotic compositions, as well as some fantastic illustrations and writings. A unique figure in the contemporary classical world, Hauschka's works defy categorisation while remaining uniquely effective. Known for his prepared Piano pieces, Hauschka writes that he considers the Piano a keyboard, string and percussion instrument, thereby opening its sonic possibilities to include diverse timbres, tones and textures. Some songs in Solo Pieces are for natural Piano, but others include instructions on how to prepare your own Piano, using everyday materials like foil, greaseproof paper, rubber wedges or erasers. The spirit of Solo Pieces is experimentation, something that Hauschka has always embraced. You don't need to prepare your Piano, or you could use different materials to create a unique performance of the work. Some of the pieces like One Wish feature wonderfully metallic buzzing sounds that complement the changing dynamics of the piece, while others like Early In The Park have unique tinkling percussive effects, adding completely new facets to the already evocative melodies. Far from being simply a collection of Hauschka sheet music, this book is a wonderfully inviting publication, featuring introductory words from Hauschka on his inspirations and processes, as well as notes on his favourite materials throughout. Also included are interesting pieces like short stories, letters and fantastic sketches that are fitting for a personality and artist like Hauschka. This book of Hauschka sheet music is ideal for fans of the inventive composer, but also pianists who looking for some new and unique music to play. Solo Pieces by Hauschka is both a collection of excellent Piano pieces and an aesthetically pleasing publication that celebrates great music.

Pianogongs was inspired by the sonorities of the percussion section of the Beijing opera. The work is for one performer and features a combination of piano (functioning like a percussion instrument) and 2 gongs which are laid on the soft top of an extra piano bench to the left of the performer. The structure of the piece is formed by alternation of three different musical ideas: a fast repetitive rhythm a series of chords based on the major triad and perfect fourth and an energetic staccato motif.

The idea for this book series is to give instrumentalists the opportunity to practice solo improvisational techniques while playing along to rhythm tracks of keyboards, guitar, bass, drums/percussion in various different Latin styles including Calypso, Mambo, Salsa, Songo, Bossa, Guaracha, Samba and Latin-Blues. Memorable melodies along with more Bluesier sounding melodic lines have been created over the various chord progressions used in these various Latin styles.

Classic hymns have been arranged for the flexible “Sounds of” series. For solos and ensembles this collection brings together great hymns of the faith. Whether it's a soloist using a book (accompanied by piano orfully-orchestrated accompaniment track) or two three four players...or a full orchestra Sounds of Worship is a uniquely flexible idea for church instrumentalists! Each book includes a solo line and an ensemble line. Mixand match lines with different instruments and combinations of players. Available: Conductor's Score (with Acc. CD) Flute Oboe Trumpet Clarinet Trombone Horn Alto Saxophone Tenor Saxophone Violin Cello Bass/Tuba Percussion Piano/Rhythm Accompaniment CD.

Ernesto Lecuona (1895-1963) composed this piece in A Major for solo piano.La comparsa also known as 'Carnival procession' evokes the sound of bare drums maracas and percussion.

The final movement of the Sonata in A major KV 331 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart the Rondo Alla Turca is one of the most famous piano pieces of all time. Once only familiar to musical experts later a universal piece for all piano pupils its opening melody is now even omnipresent as an alienated sinus tone-like mobile phone ring tone. Fazıl Say's arrangement originally created as an effective encore follows on from this popularity. After the first eight bars have been presented in original form typical elements of jazz superimposed on the still recognisable classical foundations can be discovered such as syncopation of the top notes andornamentation through chromatic blue notes embedded in the at times frenzied chains of semiquavers. In the spirit of the work's improvisatory character Say likes to perfom his Alla Turca Jazz in different combinations for example accompanied by jazz singers of with orchestra. It may appear strange that Fazıl Say who was born in Turkey and - when not on tour - is still resident in that country does not bring back Mozart's interpretation of genuine Turkish music closer to its own roots particularly as many of his compositions such as Black Earth or the Violin Sonata are characterised by a subtle amalgamation of the Classical-Romantic tradition Turkish folk music and elements of jazz. In a further Mozart arrangement the ballet music Patara premiered in Vienna in 2006 composed on the basis of the Rococo-like theme from the first movement of the same A-major Sonata (wich enjoys almost as great popularity as the Alla Turca theme) Say utilised the connection which was absent in Alla Turca albeit in the opposite direction. In the ballet music the piano symbolises Western culture and the Ney flute Oriental culture communcated atmosperically by austere percussion instrumentation and soprano vocalisation.
