Essential Exercises-The Petites Etudes are of similar melodic charm as Gariboldi's Études mignonnes Op.131 (Schott ED 20354). A bit more virtuoso with regard to the fingering technique and articulation (and with the additional keys E major and Ab major) they are in a sense a continuation of his 'mignonnes'. In this volume the use of dynamics and the articulation described in great detail are essential to the interpretation of the études. Performed accurately they freshen the sound and sharpen the listener's perception especially through the constantly varying execution of similar motifs. If practised accordingly the Petites Etudescan improve technical skills considerably.

Denmark Revisited - Danish choral works for mixed voices a cappella.Edited by Jakob Faurholt and Jesper Grove Jørgensen. Transl. by Edward Broadbridge and Mikael Gjesing. The present release contains a number of Danish choral works with Danish lyrics translated into English. For many years now there has been a broad international interest in performing Danish choral works not least from the 20th century but often the Danish lyrics have been a hindrance in realising this goal outside Denmark. With this in mind we have thought it important to make Danish choral music more available through the release of selected works in which the Danishtext is translated into English. With the present choice we have endeavoured to present works which fully demonstrate the wide range and originality of Danish choral music: the particular lyrical Danish tone of Svend S. Schultz and Jørgen Jersild; the original simplicity of Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen; the characteristically Danish late romanticism of P.E. Lange-Müller and Rued Langgaard; and the music of composers with their own particular musical idiom such as Vagn Holmboe Bernhard Lewkovitch and Bo Holten. We have also tried to choose works with lyrics by writers that are specifically Danish in origin including Hans Christian Andersen Johannes V. Jensen and Tove Ditlevsen. Finally we have at all times been aware of the musical degree of difficulty so that the collection contains both easily approachable works as well as relatively complex ones. We hope that this release will help to spread knowledge and understanding of Danish choral music outside Denmark and thus offer the opportunity to expand the current choral repertoire that many choirs have wished.(Jesper Grove Jørgensen)  ContentsP.

A pair of men take an oath of eternal friendship but their vow is threatened by their attraction to the same woman. The object of their rivalry faces her own dilemma torn between worldly passion and her calling as a priestess.Their romantic triangle forms the heart of this 1863 opera Les Pêcheurs De Perles (The Pearl Fishers) in which the composer of Carmen the world's most popular opera made his first mark.Set in ancientCeylon this enchanting tale of friendship love and betrayal has been performed in Opera houses around the world. The famous Baritone/Tenor duet in the second act is among the most recorded of Opera highlights and a copy of thefull score is essential for conductors as well as for students of composition and orchestration. This large-format version of Bizet's three-act Opera offers musicians an affordable alternative to high-priced hard-to-findeditions.

Beautifully scored with tutti ensemble rhythms played softly and featuring the drummer on brushes here is a strikingly effective version of this Rodgers & Hart favorite. Also includes a sax soli and solo for trumpet. Excellent!

Score-John Adams emerged in the last decades of the twentieth century as one of the most influential and widely performed American composers since Copland. 'The Chairman Dances' is a 'foxtrot for orchestra' that emerged as an offshootof the composer's 1986 political opera 'Nixon in China'. It has become one of the composer's most popular works. In this piece from the third act of the Opera protocol and ceremony are forgotten as the audience is ledinto the apparent privacy of the characters' bedrooms to hear their intimate discussions. Each sings of his or her current personal concerns while at some level the couples (Dick and Pat Chairman and Madam Mao) connect with eachother on the emotional plane of nostalgia. The Nixons reminisce about their early pre-public married lives. The Maos look back to their youthful idealism and budding romance and foxtrot together to the wistful tune that formsthe basis of this composition. The chugging and coloristic flashes that begin the work give way to the dance theme proper in the strings. The work 'runs out' instead of ending in imitation of the hand-wound gramophone which hadaccompanied the dancing of the Maos in earlier happier times.First performed in January 1986 by the Milwaukee Smphony Orchestra the piece was commissioned by the National Endowment For The Arts.

This anthem is set to a text by the 10th-century Sufi mystic Al-Junaid. For the most part the mood is intimate and introspective; intertwining whispered melodies sometimes in free time alternate with quiet homophony. There is a moment of soaring unrestrained ecstasy towards the end of the piece before it draws to a hushed conclusion.Suitable for a variety of occasions this is beautiful challenging music for serious choirs. for SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied.

In 1918-19 Gian Francesco Malipiero wrote a collection of seven songs commonly known as Sette Canzoni. They were initially intended as a stand-alone work but became incredibly popular when they wereincluded as the second act of the composer’s opera L’Orfiede. However in recent years the collection has come to be recognised in its own right as one of the composer’s masterpieces.Like all of the seven songs the fifth Serenata is designed as an individual mini-opera. Scored for a solo Tenor with Piano accompaniment it tells the story of a young lover serenading his beloved. At the same time unknown to him shesits inside lamenting the death of a relative.Serenata has been translated from the original Italian into French by Henry Prunières and into English by Edwin Evans.

from Christus-From Felix Mendelssohn's oratorio Christus this masterwork adaptation tastefully presents a classical work for church and academic choirs. This chorus is from one of Mendelssohn's final works which was never completed. The rolling triplet accompaniment pushes the composition forward with wave-like arches supporting the choir in all of its sonorous glory. A smooth contrapuntal style contrasts with dramatic accents and powerful crescendos displaying the confident scripture-based text with appropriate excitement! John Leavitt has provided a new piano accompaniment as well as a new sparkling orchestration that supports the work while staying faithful to the Mendelssohnoriginal.
