| Carl Nielsen: Chaconne Op.32 Piano solo - Intermediate Wilhelm Hansen
Piano - Grade 4 SKU: HL.14022821 Composed by Carl August Nielsen. Music S...(+)
Piano - Grade 4 SKU: HL.14022821 Composed by Carl August Nielsen. Music Sales America. Classical. Book [Softcover]. 20 pages. Edition Wilhelm Hansen #WH16743. Published by Edition Wilhelm Hansen (HL.14022821). ISBN 9788759854280. 8.25x11.75x0.136 inches. English. Carl Nielsen is doubtlessly one of Denmark's most important and popular composers. This is no more evident than in his 1916 work for Piano Solo, Chaconne Op.32, which followed a seventeen-year gap in his compositions for that instrument. It is a decidedly dynamic work, in constant motion from the moment the simple opening theme begins through the crescendo and to the winding down and end of this piece. The twenty variations that form the core of this piece themselves have a varied range, sometimes comparatively easy, showing Bach's influence, other times he uses highly complex contrasts. This is a fine example of Nielsen's work and uses mood and texture to great effect making it ideal for concert or recital performance whilst the variations make it a clever training manual. $13.50 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Edited by Alfred Durr. This edition: urtext edition. Stapled. Barenreiter Urtext. Score. BWV 208. Duration 38 minutes. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA10208_00. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA10208). ISBN 9790006491773. 31 x 24.3 cm inches. Language: German. Preface: Dürr, Alfred. The hunting cantata, the earliest secular cantata of Bach's which has come down to us, was performed for the birthday of Duke Christian of Saxony-Weissenfels (23February) - according to most recent research very probably in the year 1713. It was later performed again for the birthday of Duke Ernst August of Saxony-Weimar (the co-regent of Duke Wilhelm Ernst).
Bach's score employs taut musical forms; noteworthy - and entirely characteristic of Bach's early style - is the dominant role of the continuo in recitatives and arias. The setting is in chamnber music style.

Violin SKU: M2.MOS-20047 Sonate pour un Violon Seul. Composed by C...(+)
Violin SKU: M2.MOS-20047 Sonate pour un Violon Seul. Composed by Carl August Pesch. Edited by Gotz Bernau. Performance book. Möseler Verlag #MOS 20047. Published by Möseler Verlag (M2.MOS-20047). ISBN 9790203710714. Sonate B-dur: Es gibt nur wenige Werke fur Solovioline aus der Mozart-Zeit; das macht diese Erstveroffentlichung interessant. Die grosse Zeit der Violinvirtuosen Walther, Biber, Westhoff, Pisendel und anderer hatte mit Johann Sebastin Bachs Solosonaten und -partiten einen Abschluss gefunden. Aus der vorklassischen Periode kennen wir ausser vielen Unterrichtswerken fur Violine nur wenige konzertante Kompositionen fur eine Violine allein. Dazu zahlen insbesondere die Sonaten von Friedrich Wilhelm Rust und Johann Friedrich Reichardt, beide aus dem Umkreis Franz Bendas, die aber deutlich an barocke Vorbilder anknupfen. - Die hier vorgelegte Sonate in B-Dur von Pesch ist ein in beiden Satzen fast durchgangig zweistimmiges Stuck. Die Tonart B-Dur mag zunachst etwas befremden, ist aber nicht ungewohnlich, denn auch Solowerke von Westhoff und Rust stehen in dieser Tonart; sie erweist sich als durchaus geigerisch und klangvoll in diesem ungewohnlichen Werk. Die in vielen Veroffentlichungen wiedergegebenen Lebensdaten von Pesch, die aus unbekannter Quelle stammen und immer wieder benutzt wurden, sind durchweg falsch. Aus der Eintragung im Kirchenbuch der Gemeinde St. Blasius in Braunschweig ist der 27. Februar 1791 als Sterbedatum eindeutig festgestellt. Die Braunschweigische Anzeigen schreiben Am 27sten Februar ... verstarb ... Herr Carl August Pesch im 57ten Jahr seines Alters. Im 57ten Jahr bedeutet, dass er 56 Jahre alt wurde, also 1735 geboren ist. Uber seine Herkunft ist bisher wenig bekannt: Nach 1760: Eintritt in den herzoglichen Dienst in Braunschweig; 1763: Leopold Mozart erwahnt Pesch unter den Personen, die er im Gasthof Goldener Lowe in Frankfurt/Main getroffen hat; 1765: Reise mit dem Herzog nach London, dort Veroffentlichung einiger Werke; 1766/1767: Reise mit dem Herzog nach Italien; 1776 Konzerte in Frankfurt/Main. $8.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 4 to 6 weeks | | |

Duration 6 minutes, 26 seconds. Carl Fischer Music #SPS71. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.SPS71). ISBN 9781491143544. UPC: 680160901043. Key: G minor. Nordanvind is a tour de force symphonic rhapsody that is built on three Scandinavian folk songs. Composer Carl Strommen has composed these Viking-influenced melodies into a concert setting that brings out all of the history of the Scandinavian people. The piece is at times bold and aggressive, at other times beautiful. Carl employs all of the instrumental colors of the concert band to create a new work for more advanced ensembles. Modern Scandinavians are descendants of the Vikings, an adventuresome people who were known for their love of the sea, their naval prowess, and as fierce fighters . The Scandinavian Vikings were warriors from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden who traded, raided and settled in various parts of Europe, Russia, the North Atlantic islands, and the northeastern coast of North America .Starting around 1850, over one million Swedes left their homeland for the United States in search of religious freedom and open farm land . Augustana College was founded in 1860 by graduates of Swedish universities and is located on the Mississippi River in Rock Island, Illinois . Home of the “Vikings,†Augustana College is the oldest Swedish- American institution of higher learning in the United States . This powerful and lively piece takes inspiration from Swedish history and from Swedish folk songs and hymns .Havsdrake (Dragon of the Sea)The Nordanvind or “North Wind†blows a cold wind during a journey of a group of courageous Viking rowers . The “Dragon-ship†or long ships designed for raiding and war was a sophisticated, fast ship able to navigate in very shallow water . To musically portray these magnificent seafaring vessels, the director is encouraged to use an Ocean Drum (or a rain stick) during the introduction . Wind players may consider blowing air through their instruments to suggest the North wind . Adding men’s voices to accompany the haunting low brass and percussive “rower†sounds can be helpful in creating the dark and ominous portrayal of Viking adventurers .Slangpolska efter Byss - KalleIn Sweden, a “polska†is a partner dance where the dancers spin each other (släng in Swedish “to sling or tossâ€) . Slangpolska efter Byss - Kalle is attributed to Byss-Kalle, who was a notable Swedish folk musician, specifically a nyckelharpa player . Slangpolska efter Byss - Kalle is a traditional “polska†dance song most often played on the Nyckelharpa or keyed fiddle and is commonly heard in pubs and at festive events throughout Sweden . Approximately 10,000 nyckelharpa players live in Sweden today, and the Swedish and the American Nyckelharpa Associations are dedicated to this Swedish National instrument . The director is encouraged to share video and audio examples of the nyckelharpa playing the original Slangpolska efter Byss - Kalle .Tryggare Kan Ingen Vara (Children of the Heavenly Father)Tryggare Kan Ingen Vara Is a traditional Swedish melody, possibly of German roots, and was believed to be arranged as a hymn by the Swedish hymn writer, Karolina Wilhelmina Sandell-Berg (1832–1903) . As a daughter of a Swedish Lutheran minister, she began writing poems as a teenager and is said to have written over 1,700 different texts . There are two different accounts as to the inspiration for this hymn . The first story is that Lina (as she was called) wrote the hymn to honor her father and to say thank you to him for raising her and protecting her . A second belief is of her witnessing the tragic death of her father . She and her father were on a boat, when a wave threw her father overboard . It was said that the profound effect of watching her father drown is what caused Lina to write the text to this hymn . Although this is a treasured song to people of Swedish descent everywhere, it speaks to all people about a father tending and nourishing his children, and protecting them from evil .SPS71FThe Augustana College Concert BandFounded in 1874, the Augustana Band program is one of the oldest continuously active collegiate band programs in the country . The Concert Band is one of two bands on campus and was formed more than thirty years ago . The Concert Band attracts students of every skill level and from a wide variety of majors . Students in the ensemble play a large part in choosing their music for performance, which include works from the standard repertoire, orchestral transcriptions, and the latest compositions from leading composers .Rick Jaeschke began his musical career as a clarinet player in the 1st US Army Band . He received a Bachelor of Music degree from Susquehanna University, a Masters of Music from James Madison University, and a doctorate from Columbia University in New York . He was also fortunate to study conducting with Donald Hunsburger and with Frederick Fennell .Dr . Jaeschke taught band and choir at Great Mills High School in Southern Maryland, and for fifteen years, he was the district Music Supervisor in Armonk, New York, where he taught high school concert and jazz bands, beginning band, and music technology . During that time, the music program flourished, and the high school band consistently received Gold Medals in the New York State Festivals, as well as in national, and international festivals . As a clarinet and saxophone player, Dr . Jaeschke performed in the New York metropolitan area with the Rockland Symphony Orchestra, the Putnam Symphony Orchestra, Fine Arts Symphony Orchestra, and served as the concert master for the Hudson Valley Wind Symphony .For several years, Dr .

| Monumentum, Music for string sextet [Score] Kunzelmann

2 violins, 2 violas, 2 celli - Level 6 SKU: KU.GM-1911 Composed by David Philip Hefti. Edited by David Philip Hefti. Bach format (230 x 302). In A Folder. Full score, parts. 78 pages. Duration 19 minutes. Edition Kunzelmann #GM-1911. Published by Edition Kunzelmann (KU.GM-1911). ISBN 9790206202384. 9 x 12 inches. Monumentum, Music for String Sextet, was written in 2014 to a commission from the Moritzburg Festival, The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center New York and the Kathe Kollwitz House in Moritzburg. It is dedicated to the cellist Jan Vogler. The world premiere took place on 19 August 2014 at the Moritzburg Festival, performed by Timothy Chooi & Mira Wang (violins), Roberto Diaz & Hartmut Rohde (violas), Jan Vogler & Harriet Krijgh (cellos). The American premiere took place on 7 May 2015 in the Lincoln Center with the Amphion String Quartet, the violist Yura Lee and the cellist Jan Vogler.
The String Sextet Momentum commemorates the outbreak of the First World War, the death of Peter Kollwitz – who died as a volunteer, aged just 18, in the early weeks of the war – and the manner in which his mother, the artist Kathe Kollwitz, mourned the loss of her son. The artist worked through her pain by creating her most famous sculpture, The Mourning Parents. It stands today at the German soldiers’ cemetery at Vladslo in western Flanders, where her son Peter also lies buried. During the 18 years that she worked on the Parents, Kathe Kollwitz attended several concerts at the Volksbuhne in Berlin, where from January to February 1927 she heard Arthur Schnabel’s cycle of all the Beethoven piano sonatas. Schnabel performed the Sonata op. 111 in c minor on 26 February 1927, and this work touched her in particular, as we can read in her diary: “The strange flickering notes turned into flames – a moment of rapture, taking one into a different sphere, and the heavens opened almost as in the Ninth (Symphony). Then one found one’s way back – but it was a return after having been assured that there is a heaven. These notes are serene – confident – and good. Thank you, Schnabel!” This encounter with Beethoven’s last sonata inspired the artist to take up work again on her sculpture after a long interruption and to consider different possibilities for arranging the two figures. For this reason, the first minutes ofMomentum are derived from this sonata by Beethoven – though without it being quoted in an audible manner – and they leave their mark on the form of the Sextet. The number 18 and the date of Peter Kollwitz’s death (23 October 1914) also have a direct impact on the work’s dramaturgy. This music is mostly calm in nature, but is time and again interrupted unexpectedly, being disturbed by unruly sounds and vehement eruptions until time itself seems to dissolve in an aleatoric passage. The work ends with an extended lament on “seed corn should not be ground”, a line from Goethe’s Wilhelm Meister’s Journeyman Years. Kathe Kollwitz often quoted this phrase to argue for peace, and also took it as the title for a lithograph that she made in 1942. - David Philip Hefti $89.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 1 to 2 weeks | | |
