Sandra Dackow Little Known Gem - Grade IV. cembalo in set. Attributed to Pergolesi. From the collection Six Concertini for Strings, No. 2 in G is, in many ways, the most fun of the set. With very modest technical demands, this robust selection offers thematic material for all sections. The violins are divided into four sections, making it possible to assign intermediate players to lower parts. First violins reach fifth position and there is shifting required of the cellos and basses. Short eighth and quarter notes should be kept at the frog, while more bow may be used for sixteenth notes. Transitional writing with many V7 chords brings the best of the Baroque and Classical eras together, creating a piece that is both rich and intriguing! At different times on recordings and, in some cases, print, the set of Six Concertini for Strings has been credited to Giovanni Pergolesi, Unico Wilhelm van Wassenauer, Carlo Ricciotti, and Johann Adam Birkenstock. The present consensus is that these works are from the pen of Unico Wilhelm van Wassenauer (1692-1766) of the Netherlands, though published under the name of Carlo Ricciotti, an Italian violinist and impresario. Ricciotti continues to be credited with the work in present day, furthering the mystery around the true composer of this delightful piece of music.

“Concertino Da Camera, written in 1935 by Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) is a small concerto for Alto Saxophone and eleven instruments: Flute, Bassoon, Oboe, Horn, Trumpet and Strings. This concertino in two movements, Allegro con moto and Larghetto ? Animato Molto, is dedicated to the saxophonist Sigurd Rascher and stands out for its large use of the Alto Saxophone. It can be technically challenging and has a strong lyrical part. This volume is the pocket version of the score. Its author, Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) is a neoclassical composer who won the Prix de Rome in 1919. He composed many symphonic suites, operas and seven orchestras, including 'Angelique' (1926) and 'Divertissement' (1930). He also was in charge of the Accadémie de France in the Villa Médicis (Roma) and was later administrator for the Paris Opera. This concerto has some similarities with is Flute Concerto (1934), also published by Alphonse Leduc.”.

Charles Camilleri (1931 - 2009) was a Maltese composer. As a teenager, he composed a number of works based on folk music and legends of his native Malta. He moved from his early influences by Maltese folk music to a musical form in which nothing is fixed and his compositions evolve from themselves with a sense of fluency and inevitability. He composed over 100 works for orchestra, chamber ensemble, voice and solo instruments. Camilleri's work has been performed throughout the world and his research of folk music and improvisation, the influences of the sounds of Africa and Asia, together with the academic study of European music, helped him create a universal style. Camilleri is recognized in Malta as one of the major composers of his generation. He died on 3 January 2009 at the age of 77. His funeral took place two days later at Naxxar, his long-time town of residence. Flags across Malta were flown at half-mast in tribute to him.
