In her four-movement Sonata Bacewicz obviously refers to the Baroque music the virtuoso trend of the music for strings of that epoch as proven by the kind of narrative as well as Bach-like ostinatos and figurations textural devices such as lyrical double stops or bourdons with open strings a based-on-fifths-plan of repetitions in the second movement and the like. (...) All this makes the Sonata an original commentary on a composition on which it feeds and to which it owes a great deal (i.e. a cycle of the Partitas and Sonatas for solo violin by J. S. Bach) depriving the music of Arcadian illusions while preserving its musicianly dash instead an indisputable violin quality of sound and energy which is exclusively the energy of the material without any extramusical references.

The 12th of November 2014 was a day of glory for the Rosetta mission: after a ten-year journey in space the Philae lander – a minuscule robot whose job was to gather scientific data – set down on the comet Churi to analyse the composition of the soil and evolution of its structure when the shooting star approaches the Sun. This technical prowess also produced photos. Contemplating them could only inspire Allain Gaussin a follower of spectral music and very keen on astrophysics. How might one translate the intensity of the impressions felt by the viewer of these aerospace photos? Philae for solo Violin chooses to make contrasts collide: the smooth and therough the bright and the dark the bounce and the static. As always Gaussin seeks to explore the particularities of Violin playing: suddenly arise in turn a fervent motif – this exponential crescendo obtained by means of bow momentum – harmonic constellations of spiccato demisemiquavers then a series of repeated notes on the instrument's open third string which are finally softened by rolled bowing. As a veritable 'astromusician' the composer embarks on the conquest of new sound spaces.

A Selkie Tale is a short music-theatre work (duration about 25 minutes) designed for performance by seven- to eleven-year-olds year olds. Four solo roles and several separate chorus groups give scope for the participation of a large number of children of all ability levels.The story is a humorous version of the Orkney folk-tale of an islander kidnapping a Selkie wife - a creature who is a seal in the sea and a woman on the land. Things go hilariously wrong with the Selkie wife escaping to rejoin her companions in the sea and Mansie the islander facing a most uncongenial alliance with his cousin and housekeeper Miss Trowie-Tattibogle.Violin part.This isa special item which is made to order.

Pieces by Georeg Frideric Handel arranged by Felix Borowski for Violin/Viola and Piano.

The American modernist composer George Antheil was known in his time for his 'futuristic' compositions and is now regarded as one of the first composers to go 'beyond Stravinsky' in sound experimentation. These four ViolinSonatas and one Sonatina use devices such as tone clusters complex irrational meters additive silence and timbral distortion. They are not only an often-overlooked part of musical history but are also excellent pieces in theirown right; challenging yet rewarding to play.

Programme Note Per Nørgård LIBRO PER NOBUKO (1992)LIBRO PER NOBUKO (BOOK FOR NOBUKO) consists of two pieces written for Nobuko Imai the Japanese violist.Dedicated Nobuko Imai (1) and Bo [Vincens Steensen-Leth] (2) 1: Sonata 'The Secret Melody' (1a Prologue 1b Roaming 1c Singing 1d Playing 1e Epilogue) 2: Bofast (in English: Resident)The first (and longest) piece is a sonata in five movements called LA MELODIA SEGRETA (THE SECRET MELODY). The title is borrowed from a book by Trinh Xuan Thuan the Vietnamese astrophysicist. Of the mysterious and inexplicable order of the universe he writes: Nature sends us the notes of a music formed by a melody that will remain secretforever.The five movements of the sonata circumscribe a hidden melody: a clear melodic shape appears often enough but it soon reveals itself as being part of another superior melody - and so on. In this labyrinthine way the three middle movements framed by a short prologue and epilogue unfold different moods (roaming singing playing) in an eternal hide-and-seek of the melody (melodies).The second piece for Nobuko BOFAST (RESIDENT) is dedicated to Bo Vincens Steensen-Leth in gratitude of the many and selfless services he has rendered to the musical audiences at the locality of Langeland Denmark. The piece remains faithful to one single motif a 'resident' like Bo and his ancestors who have been residents at the manor house Steensgaard for over 400 years.Per Nørgård 1997

Par DUNCAN CRAIG. Beginning with a section of easy arrangements of popular Cajun tunes, this book progresses to more difficult solos based on the playing of various fiddlers including Dewey Balfa, Michael Doucet, Doug Kershaw, and Rufus Thibodeaux. Cajun stylings, rhythms, double stops, slides, turns and trills, bowings, and tunings are discussed throughout the book. Fiddle and guitar are used in demonstrating the tunes in this book. The recorded versions are played at a slower tempo than typical performance speed to allow the listener to pick out details of the Cajun style. Due to the 1 hour capacity of a CD a few of the tunes in the book had to be omitted from the companion recording included in this package (songs are Eunice Two-Step, J'Ai Vu Le Loup, Je Va T'Aimer Quand-Meme, Johnny Peut Pas Danser, Le Vieux Boeuf Et Le Vieux Charriot, Les Veuves De La Coulee, Ninety-Nine Years Waltz, Quo Faire, Vieux Crowley). / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Cajun-Zydeco - Solos / Recueil / Violon
