The day that Australian and New Zealand forces joined the Allies for an invasion of the Gallipoli Peninsula of Turkey in World War I, with disastrous consequences, is celebrated in Australia as Anzac Day (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps). To honor this special day, Bresnick takes inspiration from two selected poems by Bertolt Brecht (And I Always Thought and Legend of the Unknown Soldier Beneath the Triumphal Arch). Commissioned to commemorate Australia’s Anzac Day, similar to Memorial Day, and inspired by two Brecht poems…The somber opening violin and clarinet lines unfolded to haunting effect before eventually reaching a fervent climax. --Vivien Schweitzer, The New York Times.

Musical Challenges works alongside the third volume of the violin method Play the Violin!, but it can also be used by intermediate students along with any other method. The pieces are in jazz, pop, world music and classical styles and contain musical as well as technical challenges with some being accompanied by a relevant technical exercise. Many of the pieces have chord symbols or piano accompaniment whilst others are duets. The CD contains all accompaniments and many demo tracks.

Musical Challenges sluit aan op het derde deel van Speel Viool!, maar kan ook los van deze methode worden gebruikt. De stukken in de stijlen jazz, pop en klassiek bevatten zowel technische als muzikale uitdagingen, enkeletitels worden voorafgegaan door een technische oefening. Een aantal werken kan als duet worden uitgevoerd en andere stukken zijn voorzien van akkoordsymbolen of pianobegeleiding. Daarnaast kan met de cd, die ook talrijke demo'sbevat, worden meegespeeld.

Musical Challenges schlie�t an den dritten Band der Schule Spiel Violine! an, kann aber von allen fortgeschrittenen Geigenschülern verwendet werden. Die Stücke in den Stilen Jazz, Pop, Weltmusik und Klassik enthalten sowohl musikalische als auch technische Herausforderungen; teilweise sind sind sie mit Akkordsymbolen oder Klavierstimmen versehen oder als Duett ausnotiert. Au�erdem kann zu den beiden CDs gespielt werden, die sämtliche Begleitungen und zahlreiche Demoversionen enthalten.

Musical Challenges peut être considéré comme lâ??épilogue du deuxième volume de la méthode Je joue du violon! Mais ce recueil peut également être utilisé par les violonistes ayant suivi une méthode dâ??apprentissage différente. Les pièces contenues offrent une grande variété de style et abordent des exercices techniques divers. Certains morceaux présentent une notation dâ??accord ou un accompagnement de piano, dâ??autres sont écrits sous forme de duos. Le compact disc contient tous les accompagnements et de nombreuses versions intégrales.

Musical Challenges rappresenta valido materiale complementare da usare assieme (ma anche individualmente) al secondo volume del metodo Suona il Violino! I brani proposti sono in stile jazz, pop, folk e classico (musica originale e non) e contengono sfide musicali e tecniche. Alcuni brani propongono un breve esercizio tecnico, mentre altri contengono i simboli degli accordi o le parti del piano. Sono previsti anche alcuni duetti. E per chi non ha un altro musicista con cui suonare, il CD propone gli accompagnamenti e un grande numero di tracce demo.

When the Newport Music Festival commissioned me for a piano trio in honor of their 2021 season, I looked for a topic that would celebrate an aspect of the Newport community. While researching the area, I was struck by the nine lighthouses situated around the island. The dual nature of lighthouses was particularly appealing to me: not only do they serve a vital role in the navigation of ships around rocks and land, but they are also a beautiful sight, particularly at night when their blinking beacons are clearly visible to the eye. It occurred to me that lighthouses link the past with the present, and will endure long into the future, with their beacons serving the same purpose for every generation.I became fascinated with the lighthouse on the property of Castle Hill Inn, located at the opening of the East Passage of the Narragansett Bay. This squat thirty-four foot granite structure was erected in 1890 on a very picturesque spot, right at the water’s edge. Its “characteristic,” the nautical term for each lighthouse’s unique light sequence that allows ships to identify the lighthouse, is to alternate on for three seconds, then off for three seconds. The lighthouse has also served as the starting and finish line for numerous high profile yacht races, as well as survived a massive hurricane in 1938, though the lighthouse keeper’s nearby residence wasn’t so lucky. American novelist Thornton Wilder wrote much of his 1973 novel Theophilus North while staying at the Castle Hill Inn; a passage from the book perfectly captures the dual nature of lighthouses:“At a later visit I was able to engage the pentagonal room in a turret above the house; from that magical room I could see at night the beacons of six lighthouses and hear the booming and chiming of as many sea buoys.”In Beacon of the Bay, we first hear the lighthouse’s characteristic as its ruby light blinks on and off. This is followed by a simple theme that represents the lighthouse performing its solitary duty. As the piece progresses, we hear waves playfully lapping around its base, then yachts gracefully floating by; this is followed by a violent storm that churns the waves with so much force that they crash against the lighthouse’s granite body. But the steadfast lighthouse holds firm to the rocks, grandly blinking its ruby light. The music quiets back down to its simple theme, with yachts sailing by once more as the piece concludes.

Even though I was and remain a proponent of absolute music, the things that we see and experience inevitably colour and energise our thought processes. The grand old man of Finnish Modernism Paavo Heininen (b. 1938) turned his impressions of Boston into violin sonatas op. 134 (2016). All the three sonatas - Boston Sonata, Boston Variations and Boston Ballade - were premiered in one concert in Helsinki celebrating the composer's 80th birthday in May 2018 by Kaija Saarikettu (violin) and Juhani Lagerspetz (piano).
