Wilhelm Killmayer puts a single note at the heart of this composition. Butwhereas Robert Schumann took it as the starting point of his romanticism,Killmayer doesn't allow himself the freedom to develop poetic melodies. Just as Schumann deliberately decided to live within the constraints of a mental asylum in Endenich, Killmayer favours the constraints of a very limited tonal space. Recurring seconds in the piano part illustrate the confines in the life of the ill composer. Even the addition of a vibraphone,bongo and conga cannot overcome these boundaries in the end. The only option left is to look inwards for an escape. And when refined tone colours are revealed in a dialogue between piano and glockenspiel, Schumann in Endenich turns into a journey into the consciousness of an enigmatic fellow human being.

Arrangement for chamber orchestra. Composed by Johannes Brahms. Edited by Russell Adrian. Arranged by Russell Adrian. Carus sheet music series: Great choral works in small scorings. Schicksalslied, Bearb. Fur Kammerorchest. Secular choral music. Full score. Op. 54. 64 pages. Duration 16 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 10.399/50. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.1039950).

ISBN 9790007181611. Language: German/English.

With his Schicksalslied (Song of Destiny), inspired by a text by Friedrich Holderlin, Brahms created a timeless piece of music with his personal interpretation of the idea of destiny. The work is impressive both in the concert hall and in a sacred space. With the publication of this arrangement for chamber orchestra, smaller choirs now have the opportunity of performing this work too. The scoring (for flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, timpani, and strings) is identical with the chamber orchestra version of the German Requiem (Carus 27.055/50), so that the two works can easily be combined in a concert program. A trumpet and trombone can be added ad libitum. The choral parts match the original version, so that the vocal score and choral score from that version can be used. Score available separately - see item CA.1039900.

Poeme symphonique for Organ. Composed by Robert M. Helmschrott. This edition: Saddle stitching. Sheet music. Edition Schott. Classical. Softcover. Composed 2010. 48 pages. Duration 32'. Schott Music #ED21078. Published by Schott Music (HL.49019362).

Used as a place of worship for centuries, first by Christians and then by Muslims (from 1453), the Hagia Sophia (Istanbul) still amazes people from all over the world. Since 1934, it is a museum but more than that, the Hagia Sophia, a unique architectural work of monumental proportions in Christian Antiquity and the Middle Ages, is described as a mystical place. Monumental, yet mysterious, a 'miracle of space', a symbol, a sign. 'Sophia', the holy wisdom, accompanies us through the whole Bible history. The line and sound of Hagia Sophia are based on a symmetrical eight-note row (mode B) with the notes B, C sharp, D, E/F, G, A flat (G sharp), B flat (A sharp). Although the major-minor relations are removed, harmonic connections (colours) emerge nevertheless.

Swing. Composed by Bob Curnow. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1245. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1245).

Sierra Music is excited to provide another original from Bob Curnow! 'The Secret of the Blues' is a fresh, new look at the blues with interesting altered changes, dynamics that move from the softest to the strongest possible, and an attitude that will get any audience fired up. This sultry, swinging, screaming blues arrangement is perfect for featuring many soloists (there is space for alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, trumpet, and piano) before the ensemble shines in a dynamic-building, roaring section prior to returning to the melody. The highest trumpet note is a written E. This chart is a must-have! 5-4-4-4.

Ballad. Composed by Pat Metheny. Arranged by Bob Curnow. Sheet music. Ballad. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 224. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-224).

English.

As commissioned (and recorded) by the SWR Big Band of Stuttgart, Germany, this is an extended arrangement based on a gorgeous melody by Pat Metheny. The saxophone players double on flute (sax 1), clarinets (sax 2-4) and bass clarinet (sax 5). There is solo space for piano, tenor sax and trombone, as the chart moves from a rubato ballad, to a bossa feel, to a rock ballad feel, and back to the rubato again. This is a highly, emotionally charged piece which makes a wonderful addition to any program. Limited brass ranges. The chart also includes an interweaving of Metheny's pensive melody Tell Her You Saw Me. The CD on which this piece is recorded is Towednack, Bob Curnow and the SWR Big Band (available from Sierra Music). 5-4-4-4.

Swing. Composed by Oliver Nelson. Arranged by Bob Curnow. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1190. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1190).

This Oliver Nelson melody was originally recorded with a small group. Bob Curnow took this great tune and arranged it for big band in a very hip way! Set in an easy swing feel, this chart has quite a bluesy feel to it while providing a nice variation to the standard blues changes that you might not expect. There is solo space for alto saxophone, trombone and piano. In this pro (original) version, you will find Oliver Nelson's amazing solo transcribed and arranged as a trumpet soli. Very cool and fun to play! If you like Oliver Nelson's music, you'll love this chart! 5-4-4-3.
