Mary Cohen’s Superstudies For Viola Book 1 is a collection of nineteen original imaginative studies for solo viola which have been specially designed for young players. Each piece concentrates on one or two aspects of technique and the whole set covers a wide range of left and right hand skills including spicatto bowing string-crossing moto perpetuo cantabile and easy double-stopping. Teachers and pupils will find this invaluable yet light-hearted collection both enjoyable and stimulating.

Shades IV by Naresh Sohal makes use of harmonies generated by the open strings of the Viola which are heard pizzicato at the opening of the work accompanying a bowed melodic line. This passage recurs later after a climax which sends the player to the highest reaches of the instrument and the work ends with all four open strings plucked simultaneously.

A collection of the very best themes and movements by John Williams. The pieces are arranged to be performed by solo Viola with the CD of backing tracks and demonstrations. Alternatively all parts in the series are fully compatible and may be performed as a larger ensemble.

The composer’s note on this copy of the autograph score has the following directions: ‘Out of the Night was written to be played in order to ‘greet the dawn’ outside St Catherine’s Monastery Sinai’ and it is recommended that the work be played outside or in a church or building with some resonance. The sound is Middle Eastern modal invoking the Orthodox Church with the Greek pronunciation of the single word ‘Alleluia’.Tavener was widely known as a composer of religious music and while this work does not fit any liturgical use it communicates the sacredness of a new day. Contemporary British composer John Tavener was that rare creature a composer of serious music andserious religious music who also achieved commercial success. He burst into the popular consciousness with the performance of his Song for Athene at the funeral of Princess Diana but had been a highly respected and frequently performed composer since the premiere of his dramatic cantata The Whale in 1968.

Schwingt Freudig Euch Empor BWV 36 (final version)Cantata for the First of Advent- Urtext of the New Bach Edition- Performance material (BA10036) vocal score (BA10036-90) and study score (TP1036) available for saleBärenreiter's editions of Bach Cantatas offer the authoritative text of the New Bach Edition meeting Bärenreiter Urtext standards. No group of works in Johann Sebastian Bach?s output is as wide-ranging as the cantatas. This is hardly surprising considering that for over five years Bach was required to compose a work or at least re-work an existing one for every Sunday and festival of thechurch year as well as for numerous secular occasions such as council inaugurations school and university celebrations and royal birthdays.Unfortunately not all cantatas have survived. However over 200 sacred and secular works exist and form a corpus of works suitable for all possible occasions. This rich musical heritage is still as relevant today as it was then.

'Au-delà de Bach - Une aventure musicale' se concentre sur les oeuvres dites apocryphes de Jean-Sébastien Bach. Le terme se réfère à des oeuvres ayant fait partie de la bibliothèque du compositeur. Qu'il les ait lui-meme interprétées ou exécutées est avéré- elles ont trouvé place dans le catalogue BWV alors que Bach n'en était probablement ou meme certainement pas l'auteur. La série débute avec la cantate 'Mein Odem ist schwach' (BWV 222) sans aucun doute une oeuvre de Johann Ernst Bach, le fils d'un cousin de J.-S. Bach. / Alto
