Demon In Disguise-?The extraordinary folk-blues guitarist David Bromberg has strolled back into the spotlight as abruptly as he resigned from it nearly three decades ago when he dissolved his fantastic and popular touring band in 1980 to study violin making... The fluid orchestral invention of Bromberg?s fingerpicking ? his original calling card on pivotal late-1960S and 1970S sessions for Jerry Jeff Walker (?Mr. Bojangles?) and Bob Dylan (New Morning) ? is in undiminished bloom invigorating sturdy old blues and ballads.? - ROLLING STONEIn this intimate portrait the legendary David Bromberg talks about his influences and performs the music he loves - a wide panorama of Americanblues folk country bluegrass ragtime jazz and contemporary sounds.Inspired by the music of Pete Seeger and the Weavers among others he began studying the guitar at age 13. After graduating from Tarrytown High School he enrolled at Columbia University intent on a career as a musicologist. During this period he discovered the old recordings of Blind Blake Lonnie Johnson Big Bill Broonzy Marshall Owens Luke Jordan and other great country bluesmen as well as contemporary recordings of B.B.King Freddie King and Albert King. He studied with Rev. Gary Davis for several years and as Rev. Davis said ?I have no children but I have several sons?. David was a son to the great Reverend.Drawn to Greenwich Village's flourishing coffeehouse folk music scene of the mid-1960?s David left Columbia University and opted to devote full time to his music. Shortly thereafter his extraordinary guitar picking and exceptional stylistic range brought him to the attention of many other musicians: Bob Dylan Ringo Starr George Harrison Tom Paxton and Chubby Checker are only a few of the notables who sought David out as a back-up artist for recording. In all he has played as a sideman on over 100 albums.

Between 1996 and 2000 Bärenreiter published scholarly-critical editions of Beethoven's Nine Symphonies edited by the first class musicologist Jonathan Del Mar.The editorial process was a huge undertaking because of the complex source situation regarding Beethoven's Symphonies culminating in the Choral Symphony (No.9) which came down to the publisher in nearly 20 different sources. So it was not surprising that Bärenreiter's new Urtext edition caused a considerable stir in the music world.Since publication Del Mar's edition enjoys the unabashed praise of conductors performers and critics alike and has become the most widely used publication ofthe Beethoven Symphonies which can be heard not only every day in concert halls but also on CD recordings by John Eliot Gardiner David Zinman Jos van Immerseel and Claudio Abbado.Full scores study scores and complete performance material to Beethoven?s Nine Symphonies are available for sale.

French composer Henri Büsser entered the Paris Conservatoire in 1889. He won the 1893 Prix de Rome and led a highly successful career as a composer conductor teacher and organist. His compositions for a variety of instruments are exceptional Andalucia for Flute and Piano being no exception. As reflected in Andalucia which is named after the popular Spanish area of the same name Büsser's compositional style was sophisticated yet true to the 19th century French tradition. Elements of Andalucia include chromaticism exploitation of tonality complex rhythms and semiquaverflourishes amongst other aspects. For all advanced Flute players Büsser's Andalucia is essential to a varied repertoire.

Chaconne. Par LERDAHL FRED. Chaconne (2016), for string quartet, was commissioned by the Daedalus Quartet to celebrate its 15th anniversary. The commission was supported by New Music USA, made possible by annual program support and/or endowment gifts from Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, Helen F. Whitaker Fund, and Aaron Copland Fund for Music. My music has a substantial history with Daedalus. I composed the Third String Quartet (2008) for them, and subsequently they performed my three string quartets on several occasions and recorded them brilliantly on Bridge Records (Bridge 9352: Music of Fred Lerdahl, vol. 3). Chaconne is in one movement lasting 19 minutes. It is effectively my fourth string quartet. Quartets 1-3 form a unified cycle lasting 70 minutes. When I finished the cycle, I thought I would never write again for the medium; yet I could not resist the opportunity of working again with Daedalus. The issue was how to compose another string quartet unrelated to the earlier cycle. The solution came from my solo cello piece There and Back Again (2010), which was based on a four-bar variation pattern from a 17th-century chaconne. Unlike the asymmetrical phrases and expanding variations of much of my music, the chaconne form requires symmetrical phrases and strictly periodic variations. I wished to work again with these symmetries but on a larger scale. Chaconne also differs in character and expression from the three-quartet cycle. The cycle is inward and intense, a kind of psychological excavation. Chaconne is, for the most part, transparent and playful. Many of its textures emerge from little canons, not completely unlike the rounds that children sing. Any composer who writes in chaconne form (one thinks above all of the last movement of Bach’s D minor violin partita and the finale of Brahms’s Fourth Symphony) is confronted with the challenge of how to create a larger form out of a constantly repeating pattern. My Chaconne grows from paired antecedent-consequent phrases, each variation lasting eight bars. The 50 variations group into three large rotations, forming three arcs of tension and relaxation, with subtle parallel connections across the rotations. Notwithstanding my attraction to chaconne form, I purposefully disguised its symmetries and periodicities in order to build an overall dramatic shape. Fred Lerdahl/ Répertoire / Quatuor à Cordes

Par BUXTEHUDE DIETRICH. Buxtehude took the melody and words from the evening hymn Christ, der du bist der helle Tag. The words are embellished with coloratures and a change of meter enhances the work’s charme. This composition goes beyond the bounds of a straightforward chorale cantata through its use of concertante elements, which also applies the voice parts. The title of this work, on a copy made by Gustav Düben, refers to the accompanying violin parts in the words “con due vel piu violini”. This may indicate that each part should be played by several instrumentalists. / Date parution : 2007-01-01/ Répertoire / Choeur SATB, 2 Violons, Violon ou Violoncelle et B

The inspiration for this work came from the novel Silence by the great Japanese writer Sh saku End (1923 96). His book asks profound philosophical questions and resonates with one of the most anguished questions asked 2 000 years ago ???My God my God why have you abandoned me'??? End ???s ???silence??? is the silence of God in the face of terrible events springing from the merciless nature of man: torture genocide holocaust. For End though this silence is not absence but presence a notion that has many musical analogies. The emptiness and solitude of a composer???s silence is nevertheless pregnant with the promise of possibility and potency. The connections between music andsilence are made palpable in this single-movement symphony; the work begins in silence and the climax is a prolonged fermata. The final event is a bar of silence the conception and metaphorical point of the entire work.
