Rameau's 'Les Fêtes de l'Hymen et de l'Amour? was long considered second-rate because its première was associated with a political event. Yet this ballet abounds in novel dramaturgical effects that foreshadow his later operas, such as 'Zaïs?, 'Zoroastre? and 'Les Boréades?. Working together with his librettist Cahusac, Rameau sought to weave the dance numbers, choruses and stage machinery more tightly into the main plot. He also experimented with stylistic devices unique to this work, the most famous being unquestionably the scene in which the Nile overflows its banks (an impressive ten-voice double chorus with solo voices and orchestra) and the sextet from 'Aruéris?, a scoring found nowhere else in his oeuvre.For the first time, this scholarly-critical edition of 'Les Fêtes de l'Hymen et de l'Amour? presents a reference version of the work that is based on all the major sources for both the libretto and the music, including two recent musical discoveries. As most of the performance material for the première has vanished, our edition is based on the version prepared for the Académie Royale de Musique in 1748.- Milestone of French Baroque opera in performance practice orientated vocal score- With a brief foreword (Fr/Eng) containing salient information on the genesis of the work, the synopsis and the edition / Orchestre

The Bluesier Side of Jazz for Alto Saxophone and Eb instruments by Andrew D. Gordon and Frank Villafranca was inspired by the piano students Andrew teaches at Shepherd University School of Music in Los Angeles and is dedicated to those students: Jungwon, Yumiko, Yoko, Eunice, Sooji, Hae Ji and Ok Kyu. As with many students that come from a classical background it is a difficult transition to learn to play Blues & Jazz. When a musician improvises they usually play a variety of riffs or phrases that they have developed and learnt over a period of time and can access these phrases instantaneously whatever key they are playing in to create a seamless improvisedsolo from the phrases they have learnt. Andrew's idea for this book is to create phrases or riffs over two measures of various Blues progressions. He sub-divided each of the 12 Bar Blues progressions used in this book (the chord progression for Watermelon Man is a 16 measure progression) into six sections (two measures each) and within each of the six sections created four different phrases or riffs so that the student has a choice of four different phrases to play over every two measures. They can then create a solo based on which phrase they choose for each two measures. By breaking down these phrases to two measures each, he has found that the students have an easier time of learning to improvise than by trying to transcribe a whole solo from an audio recording or leaving them to their own devices in trying to play a solo based on the Blues scale or other related scales. Each of the ten examples are based on common Jazz/Blues chord progressions from Jazz songs such as 'Watermelon Man', 'Blue Monk', 'Tenor Madness', 'Route 66', 'Blue Trane', 'Bag's Groove' starting off with basic I-IV-V chords and increasing in complexity throughout the book. There are over 200 phrases/riffs to choose from that can be learned and applied to many types of jazz songs. The package includes: Book or PDF file 30 audio tracks to play on your CD player or computer Over 200 mp3 files Over 200 MIDI files/ Recueil / Saxophone Alto

Par DUBOIS THEODORE. At just 34 years of age, Theodore Dubois was installed as a professor of harmony at the Paris Conservatoire. Whilst much of his compositional works have disappeared from primary classical repertoire, his teaching has had a lasting influence. Having taught successful composers, including Paul Dukas, it is clear that Dubois'' Treaty of Harmony is well-informed. This music theory study guide covers a considerable range of theoretical aspects, from the varying musical clefs to the use of pedal notes, as well many other harmonic devices with expertise. During the preface, Dubois explains the need for hisbook, stating that it fills the gaps in harmonic theory exercises which preceding guides had missed. With no harmonic elements left out, this Theodore Dubois theory guide is necessary to accompany all music studies./ Autre FM / Pédagogie Musicale

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. The original keys have been adjusted here to fit the range of the saxophones.

Für Akkordeon. Par PENDERECKI KRZYSZTOF. The transcription of the Sinfonietta remains as closely to the original as possible while fully exploring the accordion’s possibilities of registration, tonal colouring and playing techniques. The rhapsodic first movement and the dance-like, virtuoso second movement, so contrasting in character and yet so consistent in their compositional devices, are perfectly suited to this versatile instrument. / Niveau : 6 / Date parution : 2017-11-20/ Répertoire / Accordéon

Par DVORAK ANTONIN. Dvorák composed the “Mass in D major” in 1887 at the suggestion of his patron Josef Hlávka for the inauguration of the Lužany castle chapel. It is written for choir and organ with sporadic passages for soloists, uses simple expressive devices and makes light technical demands. Thus, this work is easy to perform, also by amateur church choirs - all that is needed is a small choir and the solo parts can be sung by members of the choir. The full score includes additional violoncello and double bass parts edited for the first time. Dvorák had penned them himself in a transcription of the organ version./ Répertoire / Chant et Orgue
