Scott's String Quartet No.3 was published in 1960. It was premiered by the Aeolian Quartet at the Wigmore Hall in London in the following year.
Cyril Scott (1879-1970) was a British composer, pianist and poet. His most popular works, which he is largely remembered by today, were written in the years preceding the Second World War, however he continued to compose prolifically, in the face of indifference from the outside world, right up until his death at the age of 91. His music is predominantly in the Romantic style, and serves as a tasteful reminder of a bygone age.

This sonata (WeissSW No. 23, London) is one of a new series of eight sonatas by Silvius Leopold Weiss arranged for the first time for guitar and published by Metropolis Music. Sonata XVII comes from Weissâ??s middle â??productiveâ?? period, thought to have taken place between 1719 and 1725. The original tablature manuscript is in the British Library (London Ms. Add. 30387). It is the only London Sonata with a title: Divertimento à solo. The Sonata has ten separate movements: Prelude (PrÇ£lude), Entrée, Bourée I and II, Gavotte I and II, Sarabande, Menuet I and II, and Saltarella. The Entrée is nothing more than an Allemande. The Saltarella resembles the Scottish Gigue. The pairs of the middle â??dancesâ?? are intended to be played side by side, as one coherent movement in which the second part complements the musical notion of the first part. There are concordant copies of the first parts of the Bourée, Gavotte and Menuet in the Sächsisches Landesbibliothek in Dresden (Suite XXVI). Bourée I can also be found in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in München, although it is quite different from the London version. Originally, the Sonata is written in B flat major, a key often used by Weiss as it is appropriate for playing the lute, but rather awkward with the guitar. For ease and effectiveness of playing, I have transposed the Sonata a minor third lower to G major. To create more concordance with the baroque tuning of the lute, the G string is lowered by a semitone to F sharp. I suggest using a capodastro to achieve the original pitch. Based on the present standard of A at 440 Hertz, the capo should be placed at the 3rd fret. However, during Weissâ??s lifetime, it was more common in many parts of Germany to use a standard of A at 415 Hertz -â? a semitone lower. So, to hear the pitch heard by Weiss and his contemporaries, the capo should then be positioned at the 2nd fret.

Touted as Britain's second national anthem, this stately tune by C. Hubert H. Parry transcribes beautifully for wind band and would be perfect for concert or festival settings.By the late 19th century Charles Hubert Parry was probably the most influential figure in English music. His works were performed at all the major festivals and as Director of the Royal College of Music, London, he founded a tradition of teaching form which many of the finest British composers benefitted. Much of his music nowadays in scarcely performed but some works have retained their popularity and none more than his setting of Blake's Jerusalem, published in 1916 and instantly taken up as an anthem during the First World War. Today it rivals Land of Hope and Glory in expressing the spirit of England in music.

Met Schindler's List, een film over het leven van Oskar Schindler, een Duits industrieel die in de Tweede Wereldoorlog met de inzet van al zijn financiele middelen meer dan 1100 Joden redde van de dood in Auschwitz, schreefregisseur Steven Spielberg filmgeschiedenis. De muziek bij deze - in Amerika met maar liefst zeven Oscars bekroonde - film werd geschreven door John Williams, de componist met wie Spielberg in het verleden al meer succesvolle productiesmaakte (onder andere Indiana Jones, Jawa, E.T. en Jurassic Park). Jan de Haan maakte een inspirerende bewerking van het pakkende thema uit Schindler's List.Die verbluffend leidenschaftlichen Melodien aus John Williams Musik zum Film Schindlers Liste flossen in dieses Arrangement ein, das Musiker und Publikum gefangen nehmen wird. Die herrlich einfachen Melodien spiegeln sowohl die Traurigkeit als auch die Hoffnung, um die es in Spielbergs Film geht, wider. Bewegend und mitreissend! Avec cinq Oscars, trois British Awards decernes par l'industrie cinematographique britannique, trois Golden Globes, quatre Emmy Awards, dix-huit Grammy Awards, d'innombrables disques d'or et de platine, John Williams (1932) est le plus celebre et le plus accompli de tous les compositeurs de musiques de film. Composant dans le style classique et possedant une fibre melodique immensement riche, il seduit par la brillance orchestrale et la beaute lyrique de ses œuvres. Son nom est indissociable de celui du cineaste americain Steven Spielberg. C'est pour lui qu'il a compose le plus de bandes originales, parmi lesquelles E.T., Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Il faut sauver lesoldat Ryan, et la sublime bande originale du film La Liste de Schindler pour laquelle il recoit un Oscar en 1994.
