La scelta di questo strumento come uno dei mezzi di conoscenza del linguaggio musicale (meglio sarebbe dire la sua riconferma, dato l’utilizzo assai frequente in molte scuole italiane), ha ragioni semplici e perciò tanto più convincenti: innanzi tutto il basso costo e un ingombro ed un peso minimi; in secondo luogo la facile comprensione e messa in pratica della tecnica d’uso oltre alla sua secolare tradizione ricca anche di repertorio originale; infine la possibilità dello strumento di costituire un valido sostegno all’intonazione e all’emissione vocale.
Per queste ragioni il testo presenta un breve itinerario, indispensabile al bambino per procedere con la lettura intonata e la tecnica strumentale.
Questo quaderno comprende un percorso graduale di avviamento allo strumento utilizzando il linguaggio tradizionale. Il lavoro qui raccolto ha come presupposto la consapevolezza di aver tralasciato quegli ambiti di espressione che non si avvalgono dei codici tradizionali, vale a dire quelle esperienze che presumono l’utilizzo e la conoscenza di repertori che si allontanano dal linguaggio tonale e che si esprimono attraverso altre grafie di codifica. In questa direzione il volume avrebbe avuto tutt’altra impostazione e, pur ribadendo l’importanza di un approfondimento dei terreni musicali meno battuti e della loro esplicitazione anche attraverso uno strumento forse poco flessibile ad esperienze di questo tipo (almeno per i principianti) come il flauto dolce, si è ritenuto di mettere a disposizione un itinerario strumentale che ha dalla sua una validità consolidata nel tempo.
Il repertorio, certamente non esaustivo, ha avuto come criteri di scelta quegli ambiti geografici e temporali che più hanno messo in evidenza le caratteristiche dello strumento. È per questo motivo che per i brani d’autore si è privilegiato l’ambito rinascimentale e barocco e per ciò che riguarda la provenienza geografica ci si è rivolti verso quelle tradizioni che hanno fatto del flauto uno strumento protagonista.
Per ciò che riguarda i brani d’insieme, ci preme sottolineare che le indicazioni degli strumenti non sono vincolanti poiché a tutti è nota la proverbiale carenza di attrezzature nelle scuole che impedisce l’utilizzo di diversi organici. Ogni insegnante si adatti quindi alle risorse che la scuola fornisce. Inoltre, le brevi strumentazioni dei brani proposti sono da considerarsi solo un supporto di completezza qualora si intenda dare forma più compiuta all’esecuzione. Il percorso, pertanto, può proseguire anche con la semplice esecuzione dei brani al flauto dolce senza il corredo delle elaborazioni per un organico più ampio.
Relativamente agli equilibri sonori e timbrici tra le parti, ogni insegnante li adatti in base al numero degli allievi delle proprie classi e degli strumenti disponibili. In linea generale è bene ricordare che, in fase esecutiva, una sufficiente intensità sonora si ottiene con almeno 5-6 flauti dolci, ma se il registro sale all’acuto possono essere sufficienti anche la metà. Un’utile strategia di lavoro può essere quella di decidere insieme agli allievi le possibilità di distribuzione numerica degli strumenti. Sostegno sempre indispensabile all’insegnante è uno strumento armonico (chitarra o pianoforte) utilizzato per accompagnare e sostenere le esecuzioni.
I brani qui raccolti serviranno di collegamento e supporto alle attività di esercitazione ritmica, melodica, armonica, vocale, di ascolto e di analisi delle forme, tutti temi approfonditi dagli altri quaderni della collana.

Brass Band - Grade 2

SKU: BT.DHP-0970962-030

Jacob de Haan wrote this arrangement for concert band, fanfare band and brass band and optional male voice choir. The original carol was written by the Austrian composer and organist Franz Gruber (1787-1863). He was asked to write Silent Night) on the 24th of December 1818 by the priest of the Church of St. Nicolas in Oberndorf, who had himself written the text. It is a romantic carol, with nuances of contemporary Austrian folk and Italian pastorale music.

Jacob de Haan maakte dit arrangement voor blaasorkest met eventueel een mannenkoor. Het originele kerstlied werd geschreven door de Oostenrijkse componist en organist Franz Gruber (1787-1863). Stille Nacht componeerde hij op24 december 1818 in opdracht van de priester van de Sint Nikolaaskerk van Oberndorf, die de tekst voor dit lied zelf had geschreven. Stille Nacht is romantisch van karakter, heeft trekken van de Oostenrijkse volksmuziek vandie tijd, evenals enkele kenmerken van de Italiaanse pastorale muziek.

Stille Nacht wurde vom österreichischen Komponisten und Organisten Franz Gruber am 24. Dezember 1818 im Auftrag des Priesters der St. Nikolaus-Kirche in Oberndorf geschrieben. Wer hätte damals geahnt, dass dieses Lied mit seinem romantischen Charakter einmal in 150 Sprachen übersetzt auf der ganzen Welt gesungen werden würde? Jacob de Haan schrieb dieses gelungene Arrangement für Brass Band mit Männerchor ad. lib.

Le 24 décembre 1818, Franz Gruber (1787-1863), compositeur et organiste autrichien, mettait en musique un texte rédigé par le prêtre de sa paroisse. Il ne se doutait pas que sa composition deviendrait l’un des noëls les plus célèbres. Stille Nacht (Douce Nuit) est un chant romantique et lyrique alliant les caractéristiques de la musique traditionnelle autrichienne d’alors, celles des pastorales italiennes.

About the work ... Few American poems are as well known as The Road Not Taken. Robert Frost, the author, is an international icon, not unlike Pablo Picasso, Winston Churchill or Mark Twain in their own disciplines.The poem is full of contradictions and quirks of form and structure. Perhaps that illusiveness is part of the poem's intrigue. But beyond all of the literary devices that only a few scholars may fully appreciate, this poem has taken on a sort of fanfare for the common person credo - a challenge to individualism, stepping out on one's own, and breaking the mold out of sheer determination if nothing else. Frost connects to the core of the human spirit in just a few stanzas using the analogy of a fork in a road. The message super cedes geography, culture, race or creed. Rather, it is part of the DNA of most every person on the planet - the inner desire to feel empowered to create one's own destiny, to forge a road not taken, and ultimately in doing so, to make a difference. Rehearsal notes ... Research strongly suggests that there is a direct connection between the first rehearsal and the performance. First impressions last. I find it helpful to immediately lock three concepts into place - mechanics (notes/rhythms), text/phrasing (intent and motivation) and color (timbre). Performers need to think musically from the first reading forward (first impression). The cello is very much a collaborative instrument in this work, and should be located in front of the ensemble (not to side). Lastly, let the text speak. The simplest melodic lines are often the most exposed. Keep the voices clear and transparent, floating over the top in softer passages, and singing with vibrancy and forward focus throughout. Z. Randall Stroope A definitive recording was made by the New American Voices, with Randall conducting. This can be found on Spotify, YouTube, his website (www.zrstroope), and other social media. About the composer ... Z. Randall Stroope is an American composer and conductor. His composition teachers were Normand Lockwood and Cecil Effinger, both students of the Nadia Boulanger, the famous French teacher (and student of Gabriel Faure). He is the artistic director of two international summer music festivals, is an Honorary Member of the National Association of Italian Choral Directors, and has conducted in 25 countries. He has directed over 40 times at Carnegie Hall, and is a frequent conductor at other prestigious concert venues. Randall has 190 published works, and his music can be heard on Spotify, YouTube and other platforms, including his website (www.zrstroope.com).

Update 2008-2012. By M.M. Novati. Ricordi. Books on Music. Book [Softcover]. Composed 2012. Ricordi #NR140714. Published by Ricordi (HL.50580815).

In 2008, the whole Studio di Fonolgia di Milano della Rai - including equipment and furniture - was completely reconstructed inside the XXXVI room of the Museum of Musical Instruments at the Sforza Castle in Milan. For the first time, all the productions of the Studio (including not only electronic music compositions but also original soundtracks for radio programmes) were systematically catalogued and made available in this publication.The book contains several updates to the old contributions. In addition, it presents three new essays that provide an interesting reflection on the the preservation of electroacoustic music and its instruments, as well as documentingrecent research that led to the realization of the sounds and the physical interfaces that embody the original instruments of the Studio.The second part of the book contains the catalogue of the musical production at the Studio enriched with a great deal of new data, as well as part of the video productions whose soundtracks were produced or edited at the Studio.This new edition will provide a complete and valuable tool to anyone looking for a better understanding, from both the technical and the musical viewpoint, of an extremely dynamic - if not contradictory - period of Italian and European music history: a very short moment after all, less than thirty years long.

Als 2008 das beruhmte Studio Di Fonologia des Mailander Radios RAI Milano, 1954 von Bruno Maderna und Luciano Berio gegrundet, ins Musikinstrumentemuseum des Castello Sforzesco umzog, ergriff man die Gelegenheit, nicht nur die elektronischen Instrumente und Anlagen, sondern auch die dort entstandenen Aufnahmen zu katalogisieren und einem breiteren Publikum zuganglich zu machen. Das Buch enthalt im ersten Teil eine genaue Beschreibung der elektrotechnischen Anlagen und Instrumente mit vielen Abbildungen, im zweiten Teil den Katalog der Audio- und Videoaufnahmen.Die hier vorliegende neue Ausgabe gewahrt einen moglichst vollstandigen Einblick in die technische undmusikalische Entwicklung einer hoch dynamischen, wenn auch recht kurzen, Phase der italienischen und europaischen Experimentalmusik.
