Students and audiences alike will enjoy this entertaining, original work, written in D Major and based on a 3/3/2 Samba feel. Rhythms are varied, but repetitive, requiring students to explore different bowing combinations, using slurs, ties, and accents. Dynamics and articulations are also varied, helping to create the lively dance-feel. This piece would also lend itself to the addition of some ad lib audience participation with maracas or similar percussion accompaniment. / Orchestre A Cordes

Julian writes: 'My father composed his four part song 'The Moon' in 1959 to words by W.H Davies. The text as in so many of his word settings equates nature with humanity: 'Thy beauty haunts me heart and soul'. Although 'The Moon' remained unperformed until his centenary year in 2014 he evidently felt strongly enough about it to create this miniature for string orchestra.'

In this piece a solo (for the first violin) runs parallel to a trio (violin viola cello) but is independent in metre speed and style. The title is from Foucault: 'Truth is a thing of this world: it is produced only by virtue of multiple forms of constraint.' The work was commissioned in 1997 for the Kreutzer Quartet.

The latest in a series of pieces written for CoMA string players  Bee Haven is a sound environment an imaginary outdoor space populated by plants flowers and bees. The sound of honeybee humming is the main focus of the work; around this the bees’ ‘haven’ (a living environment free from agricultural poisons and habitat destruction) is created through quiet air noise and gentle brushing of the instruments. There are no events in the piece save one brief flurry of rain; placing themselves within it listeners become part of the imagined space for the duration of the work.

A classic song from one of popular music's most revered artists is now available for string groups with this superb arrangement by Larry Moore. James Taylor's Fire and Rain has become a trademark of his simple enduring style thatcommunicates so well with its listener. Dur: 2:20

Score. Par FOLGNAND GUNTER. Dans sa préface, le compositeur écrit: 'L'idée originale de la composition a été de: 7 tons entiers, 7 battements (premier mouvement), 7 joueurs Il en est résulté une oeuvre pour trois groupes de chaînes de caractères suivantes tons entiers sur C et F: Etapes ! '. Ce travail est impressionnante structuré avec son bruit de chaîne sonore, à certains moments, la musique est tout à fait spectaculaire, il montre les aspects de la période romantique tardive, tout en étant modérément moderne. Cette pièce fait de grandes exigences sur les compétences rythmiques de joueurs et le conducteur aussi bien. Günter Folgnand, né à Berlin en 1930, était premier violon dans le Radio Sinfonie Orchester de Francfort. / Niveau : Avancé / Répertoire / Orchestre à Cordes

Alfred Einstein, le musicologue éminent, a déclaré ce concerto pour piano de Mozart comme 'la création la plus caractéristique ... le sommet de toute sa réalisation instrumentale.' La durée de ces oeuvres étonnantes offre une vue sur le 'parcours fascinant d'un grand talent de pur génie.' Contrairement à la plupart du Moyen Concertos, Mozart a examiné cette sélection pour être un travail 'de chambre', où l'instrumentation de secours, et, dans le cas du mouvement Andantino, un air religieux, présentent des similitudes à certaines oeuvres chorales, comme Ave Verum Corpus. Cet arrangement permet aux thèmes mélodiques éloquents être partagées par toutes les sections, nécessitant une attention au détail et le phrasé sensible. / Orchestre A Cordes
