'The whole range of percussion instruments can be compared to a magic kitchen. Like a good cook who is in great command of his spices and uses them quite effectively, the resourceful percussionist can create the most wonderful musical treats in his magic kitchen' - This is how Gerd Albrecht introduces his young and old readership to the orchestra in his book 'Musical Instruments and How to Play Them'. He gives a comprehensible and illuminating account of the instruments' history, construction features, sound generation, sound and playing technique. Which is the oldest instrument of the orchestra? Where is the set of timpani positioned on the stage? What is a 'lemon mouth' and what does that mean to a wind player? The answers to such questions are contained in this edition, complemented by graphic explanatory photos and humorous cartoons as well as by the attached CD introducing the sound of the individual orchestral instruments by using original examples from the musical literature.Included in the list of recommended educationally worthy picture books 2004 by the 'Gesellschaft fur Jugend- und Sozialforschung' (GJSF) [Society for Youth and Social Research].

Steven Stucky has described the saxophone quartet as surprisingly comparable to the string quartet as a classic chamber music medium, while in the concerto format providing a worthy counterweight to the string orchestra. At times, the saxophones in Music for Saxophones and Strings “whisper, murmur, sigh, sing, squeal, or even scream†as the composer has written in notes about the work. Commissioned for the Raschèr Quartet, the work falls into two main sections. The composer continues that “the opening slow movement is dark, nocturnal, troubled; the language is densely chromatic. Mysterious, barely audible rustlings become increasingly more alarming; creatures cry in the night; and the movement climaxes in a lyric outpouring of melancholy, even tragic character. The music subsides by way of cadenzas for the baritone and tenor saxophone. The second, fast movement arrives almost unnoticed, since at first it too is made up of disconnected fragments — quirky, skittish, playful. There are irregular rhythmic accents, gliding quarter-tone runs, scurrying saxophone figures (suggesting, perhaps, a distant echo the bebop style), and screaming excursions into the altissimo register. Briefly the melancholy of the slow, nocturnal opening returns, before a quick coda leads to an emphatic conclusion.â€.

In this contest-worthy original for developing student groups, a gently expressive midsection featuring muted strings is flanked by vigorous opening and closing themes. Everyone shares in the presentation of prominent material, and some well-crafted counterpoint gives the closing section an especially dramatic, sophisticated sound. Duration 4:05.

Any list of Mozart's greatest works should include this overture. Loved by millions, Mozart's Magic Flute is remarkable for so many reasons and worthy of study by every musician! Why should we deny young band students the joy of playing Mozart just because they don't happen to use a bow on their instruments? Mozart belongs to Everyone! Skillfully brought to the concert band stage by an arranger who works with young bands daily, this somewhat shortened version of the enigmatic Overture is accessible to young bands, but retains a great deal of authenticity. There is added versatility built into this arrangement. A nice performance is possible by using a completeWoodwind section and a Timpanist only. Inspiring!>/I>

Elsa once told us we should Let It Go, but in this new, show-stopping Act II production number from the Broadway realization of 2013's instant classic Frozen, she contemplates her inner demons for the benefit of the audience. A dark and brooding text juxtaposes Elsa's inner monologue with the enraged townspeople in a flurry of mixed-meter dialogue, bold and pulsing accompaniment and a sense of trepidation worthy of the penultimate spot on your concert!

The choirbook Women of Our World is more than a simple song collection: In easy two- to three-part arrangements for women's voices, 40 pieces in 25 different languages from more than 30 countries are gathered here. Singable transcriptions for each piece as well as pronunciation guides and translations in the appendix enable an immediate access. Introductory texts inform on the origin and cultural background of the songs; chord symbols allow an instrumental accompaniment, too. Unique for choirbooks of this kind though are the contributions from women of international origin living in Germany; they are presented in portraits and describe their personal relation to singing in a choir. Women of Our World is the result of the yearslong work of editor Hayat Chaoui with international song repertoire as choir leader, singer and consultant. An interview with Mrs. Chaoui on the origin of the edition is found on our blog (German only).This praiseworthy resource could be used to support a range of choral projects, especially perhaps where songs might usefully be taught by rote.
