Character Etudes in 24 Keys. Par KEVEREN PHILLIP. Circles features 24 original character etudes by Phillip Keveren, representing all of the 12 major and minor keys. These brief solos range widely in emotion and each is absolutely delightful to play. The set was inspired by the calendar months from the viewpoint of someone living in the northern hemisphere (where Keveren grew up), therefore the C Major etude is also titled New Beginnings while F Major, the penultimate etude, is called Sleigh Bells. May be performed as a set, in selected keys, or individually./ Répertoire / Piano

Par MURPHY HENRY. Vamping - Beginning Banjo Backup Learn how to vamp to all the songs on our Beginners\' Banjo Videos. And what is vamping? When you vamp on the banjo, you are playing just chords, no melody. Vamping is what you do when the other person is playing the melody or playing the \'lead\' or \'taking a break,\' as we sometimes say. These chords are all 4-finger chords made up the neck (in the higher positions on the banjo). When you vamp, these chords are played on the off beat. All of this is explained on the video! On the video, we show you how to make these chords, and we go over the chord changes to each song, one beat at a time. As always, we stress learning to hear and play these chord changes BY EAR. This video is a MUST for the beginning banjo player! Lots of slow playing so you can play along. Ending licks taught for each song. / Niveau : Débutant / Bluegrass - Rhythm/Backup / Accessoire / Banjo à 5 Cordes

Par BLEZZARD JUDITH. Judith Blezzard This book looks at English church music from a new standpoint. It examines the relationship between English church music and the various types of other music that have influenced its development, revealing a vigorous tradition of interplay with extraneous musical material that is seldom apparent from the ways in which music is presented for church use. The borrowing of music from churches outside England is explored, and a large section is devoted to the often surprisingly ingenious ways in which secular music has, since the beginnings of the English church, been appropriated as music for worship - often with controversial results. From madrigal tomusic-hall, from plainsong to popular styles: these and many other kinds of music have lent both styles and material to sacred music with English texts. By examining these musical transformations, this book demonstrates that English church music is far from being an exclusively insular and retrospective repertory, as is often presumed to be the case. Although the book, with its use of musical examples, is designed primarily for the general musical reader - both amateur and professional, its broadly historical approach will appeal to those interested in English cultural heritage, the church, and its worship.

Hardly any cycle of piano pieces can match the magnetic attraction of Chopin's '24 Préludes?, published in 1839. Schumann called them 'sketches, beginnings of études, [...] ruins, stray eagles pinions, all disorder and wild confusion?. Christoph Flamm has critically reevaluated the sources, bringing to light new readings of this well-known musical text. Hardy Rittner, a hammerklavier specialist and two-time winner of the ECHO Classic prize, who has recorded Brahms' piano music and all of Chopin's 'Etudes? on period pianofortes, has supplemented Chopin's fingering from a historically informed perspective. He also provides valuable notes on performance practice, especially with regard to pedalling, rubato, latent polyphony, legato and Chopin's perception of sound. An aesthetically presented engraving and practical page-turns make this current edition indispensable for today's scholars and performers. / Piano
