The five short movements for solo cembalo are brief, personal prayers that depict how the subject manages a range of feelings and emotions. The miniatures each represent a different emotional state: reflection, searching, meditation, agitation, and resolution. Each is a small-scale representation of a grand, wide-ranging prayer of supplication.
As a composer, performer, and researcher of early music, writing for cembalo allows me not only to express my special connection to the instrument and the period in which it flourished, but also to present its contemporary dimensions as a rich and versatile instrument.
The piece was composed at the request of Hagai Yodan, who performs it with great skill.
Daniel Akiva is a composer, performer, and educator whose performances on guitar and lute have won great acclaim. Mr. Akiva graduated from the Rubin Academy of Music in Jerusalem in 1981, where he studied classical guitar with Haim Asulin and composition with Haim Alexander. In 1987 he completed his studies at the Geneva Conservatorium in Switzerland where he studied lute with Jonathon Rubin and composition with Jean Ballisa. For many years, he headed the Music Department at the WIZO High School for the Arts in Haifa, which he founded in 1986, and served as the Artistic Director of the Guitar Gems Festival from 2006-2019. As part of his work at WIZO High School, he has developed a method for teaching free improvisation that has been incorporated into the music program at the school.
Mr. Akiva has appeared in concert as a guitarist and lutist and given master classes in Israel, Europe, Russia, the United States, and Latin America. Daniel Akiva’s compositional output includes works for solo instruments, chamber ensembles, choir, voice and guitar, piano, and chamber orchestra. His works have been recorded on twelve CDs, the latest of which, Malchut, was issued by OR-TAV in 2014.
A native of Haifa whose family has lived in Israel for over five hundred years, he was steeped in the Sephardic (Jewish-Spanish) tradition from his youth. Much of his compositional output has been devoted to a dialogue with the music of the Sephardic Jews. Daniel Akiva has also maintained a creative dialogue over many years with the poets and writers Amnon Shamash, Rivka Miriam, and Avner Peretz.

Thanks to a detailed sketch, we know that Mozart originally wrote his famous Clarinet Concerto K. 622 for basset horn in G or A. It was only in the early editions dating from the 19th century that this work - considered as the Clarinet Concerto par excellence - became unproblematic to play an the A clarinet. However, source studies have revealed that this was made possible only at the price of considerable un-Mozartian alterations of the solo Part. Sabine Meyer, Wolfgang Meyer and Reiner Wehle, the members of the Trio di Clarone, haue eliminated some of these modifications in their new edition, restoring Mozart's original intentions. However, their critical revision in no way impedes the performability of the A-major Concerto.

Die Neuausgabe eines Klavierauszuges verdient besonderes Interesse, da als Herausgeber mit Sabine Meyer, Wolfgang Meyer und Reiner Wehle uberaus kompetente Musiker fungieren. Die Sorgfalt, mit der gearbeitet wurde, merkt man sowohl dem Schriftbild als auch dem informativen Vorwort an.(Das Liebhaberochester)

This composition by David Bobrowitz describes, musically, a giant eagle looking for its morning meal. The use of ascending woodwind lines, rapid staccato notes, and the extensive use of chromatics gives the composition a new, fresh, and appealing quality. The Flight of the Eagle truly comes to life in this daring composition. A perfect festival or contest selection!

Beethoven's autographs of the first three piano concertos opp. 15, 19 and 37 are the earliest of all orchestral scores which have survived integrally. Thanks to source studies, we know today that a first version of the Concerto in Bb major op. 19 had already originated in Bonn in 1790 at the latest. It was followed by a second version written in Vienna most likely in 1793 which included the Rondo in Bb major WoO 6 as finale. A third version followed most probably in 1794 and led to the fourth and final version, written in Prague in October 1798, as Beethoven sojourned there at the beginning of the concert season. (from the Preface)This autograph together with the autograph solo part which was made at the beginning of 1801 and the parts printed in the same year, are the main sources of the present edition.

Dopo l’entusiasmo iniziale, c’è un momento nel corso dello studio del canto in cui bisogna fare i conti con uno strano disagio. Questo si manifesta in diverse forme: il rapporto con l’insegnante diventa difficile, ci si sente insoddisfatti, si cercano nuove strade. Compaiono paure e ansie particolari. Spesso le note acute diventano il chiodo fisso di tanti. Ma anche la respirazione, l’esecuzione di passaggi di agilità; oppure l’età, l’idea di essere troppo vecchi per poter studiare con profitto o tentare la carriera. L’esibizione in pubblico genera forti tensioni, in qualche caso vero e proprio panico. E così via. Questo succede anche ad artisti che poi si affermano e fanno del canto la loro professione.
Individuare – quale condizione di base – l’accettazione delle proprie caratteristiche vocali e adottare un atteggiamento mentale aperto basato sull’attenzione sistematica non valutativa, può ridare al cantante la serenità necessaria per esprimere al meglio le proprie qualità.
Per il principiante può essere l’indicazione di una strada da seguire, per lo studente in difficoltà può costituire un cambiamento di rotta nell’approccio al canto dal quale può trarre grandi vantaggi. Il libro è rivolto anche agli insegnanti con la modesta convinzione che l’obiettivo consapevolezza sia un dovere anche loro.
Nessun tipo di tecnica potrà essere completamente efficace senza una raggiunta libertà mentale.

Scalin' and Wailin' is a flexible, fun piece written with a differentiated instruction model. Three different difficulty levels meet students where they're at in their development and allows space for each to grow. This piece is also ideal for educators and conductors looking for side by side programming - younger ensembles can all play within the easiest group and more advanced ensembles can play within the more difficult groups, all fitting together in one energetic piece. Celebrate BandQuest's 20th anniversary with this special release, and find what works for your ensemble! BandQuest(r), an exciting series of new music and accompanying curricula for band, is a program published by the American Composers Forum. The series was started as a response to feedback from music educators that there is a pressing need for new, fresh band music. The heart of this program is new works written by a diverse group of leading American composers who have created challenging pieces that are a true departure from standard middle school repertoire. Every BandQuest project includes a residency component in which the composer works collaboratively with a middle school as they create their new piece. Many BandQuest pieces are accompanied by an interdisciplinary curriculum designed to assist students as they learn the music and to integrate each piece with non-music studies.
