Alexander Borodin's (1834-1887) STRING QUARTET No. 2 was composed during the summer of 1881, possibly at the country home of his composer friend, Nikolay Lodizhensky, and was dedicated to Borodin's wife, Katharina.  The third movement is the popular "Nocturne".  The integrity of the phrasing and articulation of the urtext edition has been respected in this string orchestra version, arranged by Lucas Drew.

This stylish all-pizzicato dance written by Doug Spata for late beginner orchestras will delight students and audiences. The notes and rhythms may be simple, but the bubbly melodies in each part provide fun fingering challenges. A call-and-response section in the middle develops listening skills, and teachers will value the left-hand workout, reading skills, and experience with dynamic changes that this piece promotes.

TEMPUS FUGIT was commissioned to celebrate the centenary of Finnish independence on 6 December 2017 and it received its first performance in Helsinki on that day, given by the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra.

The composer says that “if you translate TEMPUS FUGIT as 'Time Flies', you could say that Finland has travelled a long way already -but 100 years is a short time-span, and living as a human in this part of the world started long ago and, we hope, will continue formillennia to come. This relates to my fascination with Bernd Alois Zimmermann's concept of spherical time - that the past, the present and the future are continuously linked and within reach. You can also examine the inter-connection of musical time in the earlier works of Stockhausen such as Kontakte and Gruppen which had a big impact on me as a young composer. A translation of TEMPUS FUGIT that I prefer is 'Time in Flight', offering the idea that time escapes from us but bequeaths a tangible residue, rather like aplane travelling towards the distance but leaving a visible vapour trail.” This 30-minute score is a major addition to the orchestral repertory.

Ken Baird has created music that is exciting and enjoyable, music that has movement, dynamic contrast, and stylistic interest, and music that is interesting for both young performers and young audiences alike. Each of the 3 sets contains four individual pieces. Pricing will make these sets a bargain for directors of young orchestras. Optional Violin 3 parts are available to reinforce or substitute for viola. A piano part, which is not required for performance, is included to be helpful to beginning orchestras.

Set 2 includes:

• The Great Wall

• Fiesta

• Celtic Roots

• Heroic Adventure

SKU: HL.35003019

Following a stately introduction that reflects the massive grandeur of medieval cathedrals, the orchestra takes off with an energetic original theme that culminates with the inspiring classic hymn, “Praise to the Lord.” The substantial use of multiple meters keeps everyone alert, including the conductor. Optional notes are provided for less experienced ensembles to make this playable in first position (except basses). Technically conservative enough for 3rd year groups, musically and rhythmically interesting enough to hold the attention of advanced players. This flexible piece will work for concert, contest, and sacred settings.

Édouard Lalo (1823-1892) wrote Concerto for Cello in D minor a few years after the popular Symphonie espagnole in 1876 for Belgian cellist Adolphe Fischer. The following year, Fischer was the soloist for the premiere at the Cirque d'Hiver on December 9, 1877. Influenced by his Symphonie espagnole, this concerto evokes a Spanish atmosphere. At the time of its premiere, there were few serious cello concerti, leading Lalo's Concerto to serve as a catalyst for the cello to be considered a more soloistic instrument. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 4.2.3.0: Timp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set): Solo Vc in set.

Meine eigene neue Orchesterkomposition hat den Titel ,,SCHREIBEN. Die praktische Aktion des Schreibens, als mechanisches Einwirken per Hand, Stift, Pinsel, auf eine Flache (Papier, Pergament, Stein etc.), ausgelost und gesteuert von einem kommunikativen Bedurfnis und, bei aller Spontaneitat, beherrscht durch die Regeln von Schrift und Sprache, ist fur mich einer der geheimnisvollsten Vorgange im zwischenmenschlichen Alltag, bei dem menschlicher Geist und tote Materie einander begegnen: Gedanken bzw. Gedachtes werden auf einer Flache - Papier, Pergament, Stein - festgehalten, ihr sozusagen anvertraut. Und auf diesem Umweg uber Sprache, Schrift und Gravur begegnen sie dem Geist des lesenden oder entziffernden Mitmenschen. Als Komponist aber frage ich: gibt es auch einen anderen Kausalitatszusammenhang, gibt es z. B. ein ,,autonomes Schreiben, eine sinn-freie Zeichengebung, durch entfesselte, losgelassene Fortbewegung der schreibenden Hand, wo der Schreibende seinem eigenen Schreiben nur noch staunend zusieht? Werden nicht in Japan Bilder, auch ,,abstrakte, geschrieben??? (In einem Underground-Film der 70er-Jahre uber den jungen Mozart sieht sich der Zuschauer versetzt in ein Zimmer eines italienischen Gasthauses, in dem der junge durchreisende Mozart am Tisch eilig die Rezitative einer seiner italienischen Opern zu Papier bringt. Mehr als eine Viertelstunde lang sind wir dabei, horen nicht die entstehende Musik, sondern das nervose Kratzen der Feder auf dem groben Notenpapier in nachmittaglicher Stille - nur der gleichmassige Pendelschlag der Wanduhr ist noch zu horen -, und wir erleben diese sekundare Klangwelt kaum weniger intensiv als nachher andere Horer die dabei stumm entstehende Musik.) Das Orchester in meinem Stuck ,,schreibt. Es fugt Strich zu Strich, versteht sich selbst als eine Art vielfaltiges ,,Schreib-Gerat. Wir als Horer lesen nicht das ,,Geschriebene, aber wir horen den Vorgang des Schreibens, den Bogenstrich, die Bewegung des scharrenden Holzstabs auf Fell oder Tamtam, und wir beobachten dessen Imitation bzw. Transformation durch - zeitweise auch tonlos - sich zu linearen Gestalten verbindende Blasinstrumente als eine Art klingender Schreib-Zeremonie. Es ergibt sich eine Musik, die gelegentlich ihren gedanklichen Ausgangspunkt vergisst und sich als autonome Klang-Situation fortentwickelt und verwandelt, und die schliesslich im hochsten Register eine Art ,,Kantilene be-schreibt. Wer das deutsche Wort ,,Schreiben (engl. ,,to write) schreibt, der schreibt dabei auch unweigerlich das Wort ,,Schrei (engl. ,,shout), und er schreibt auch das Wort ,,reiben (engl. ,,to rub). So emotional der erste Begriff gedacht werden kann, so nuchtern-praktisch ist der zweite. Von beiden Aspekten, samt ihrer Gegensatzlichkeit, ist mein Stuck gepragt. (Helmut Lachenmann, 2003)
