'Particularly suitable for youth choir'. This distinction was given by the jury of the International Competition for Choral Composition 2013 to Pan Xingzimin's 'Poem I'. The text of this secular choral work for six-part mixed a-cappella choir (SSAATTB) was written by the composer himself in his native language, this being one of the special charms of this choral piece. Below the Chinese characters are transliterations which take the insecurity about the pronunciation from the European singers, as do long passages on simple syllables like 'hmm', 'ah' or 'dong'. The unfamiliar foreign language, easy-to-grasp sequences of notes and meticulously graded dynamics make this work an effective challenge which can nevertheless be mastered even by youth choirs.

The five strategies outlined in Jazz Course for All Instruments are specifically designed to enhance your vocabulary and fluency as a jazz improviser.

Ogni anno punto e da capo (Every Year Again) is a one-act comedy by Eduardo De Filippo, which premiered in 1931 at the Teatro Nuovo in Naples. On the occasion of the revival at the Piccolo Teatro in Milan in 1971, De Filippo asked Nino Rota .to edit some songs of the Italian Rivista tradition from the thirties and provide them with additional music. Of the music arranged and composed by Rota, only the piano score published here remained, which probably served as a basis for the instrumental version.
