This theoretical book is meant to improve contemporary jazz styles and techniques for all players of modern jazz. This study investigates jazz pianist and composer Herbie Hancock's seven albums recorded as a bandleader for Blue Note Records between 1962 and 1969. Recorded during Hancock's tenures with Donal Byrd and Miles Davis, his early works are highly mature musical conceptions, with all the major elements of Hancock's personal musical style already present. A mixed-methods approach combining sever forms of qualitative data analysis is used to identify the formal construction, the musical meanings, and the cultural significance of this body of music. The study surveys the thirty-six compositions that comprise these seven albums, and selects for in-depth analysis seven pieces that are proportionally representative of the formal characteristics of this larger repertoire: The Maze, The Pleasure Is Mine, Jack Rabbit, One Finger Snap, Little One, Toys, and I Have A Dream. Hancock's improvisations on these repretative compositions are transcribed, and each improvisation and composition is analyzed for its historical context and significance of each recording is examined through interviews with persons involved in the original recording process, as well as other jazz musicians and scholars with deep knowledge of Hancock's life, music and oeuvre. Aesthetic analyses, informed by the theories of of Kivy and Elliot, investigate the expressive or representational qualities of each composition, and examine how formal musical elements contribute to these expressive or representational qualities. Formal analyses examine elements of Hancock's compositional and improvisational style. The study concludes the Hancock's compositions and improvisations of the period exhibit a number of consistent style elements, such as sophisticated harmonic and rhythmic superimposition, that were very important influences on jazz pianists of the following generation.

The music Herbert Howells has tended to be unjustly neglected but his post-war output of orchestral and chamber works is currently enjoying a period of re-eveluation. This Herbert Howells society edition of six pieces brings to light yet another aspect of his work, namely his Piano music. Even though he was an accomplished pianist himself, music for Piano did not figure highly in his output. This volume contains some charming character pieces in the form of six Sarum Sketches, two slow dances based on tunes from John Playford's The Dancing Master, an extrovert piece based on a folk tune, a minuet composed as a birthday present for John Ireland, a brief vignette and an exquisite miniature. Of the six pieces in this volume, three appear in print for the first time.

Der Musikgarten lässt Kinder erleben, wie viel Freude in gemeinsamem Musizieren, Singen und Tanzen liegt. Musikgarten Teil 2 - Der musikalische Jahreskreis lädt Kleinkinder im Alter von drei bis viereinhalb Jahren und deren Eltern zum spielerischen Musizieren in der Familie ein.

Im Kindergartenalter nehmen die Kinder den Ablauf des Jahres und den Wechsel der Jahreszeiten intensiv wahr. Der musikalische Jahreskreis bezieht seine zentralen Themen aus der Natur, der Musik und der Bewegung. Die Kinder lösen sich allmählich vom Schoß der Eltern und erproben ihre Unabhängigkeit. Das Gruppenerlebnis, rhythmische und sprachliche Echospiele, Tänze und der Einsatz von Instrumenten stehen in den Mittelpunkt. Das Lehrerhandbuch enthält Ausführungen zur Entwicklung des Kleinkindes, Erläuterungen zum Unterrichtskonzept und viele Anregungen zur Stundengestaltung. Die Kinderhefte geben Eltern und Kindern Impulse für das Musizieren zu Hause. Die den Heften beiliegende CD bietet eine Vielzahl wunderschöner Kinderliederarrangements, Instrumentalstücke, Klanggeschichten usw.

Herbert Howells (1892-1983) was an English composer and teacher, who is perhaps best known for his choral music in the Anglican tradition, most famously his voluminous settings of the evening canticles.

Minuet was composed in 1945 for solo Bassoon with Piano accompaniment. It was written for the birthday of Hugh Crosthwaite, an English academic and amateur bassoonist who was studying at that time at Cambridge, where Howells was working as an acting Organist for the duration of the war. It is subtitled Grace for a Fresh Egg; i.e., a thanksgiving for what was a rarity in wartime Britain.
