Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.EB-9432). ISBN 9790004189092. 0 x 0 inches. Duration: full evening Text by the composer basesd on E.T.A. Hoffmann's tale of the same name from Serapionsbrudern Translation: ital. (G. Trampus), La sposa sorteggiata Place and time: Berlin, um 1820 Characters: Der Kommissionsrat Voswinkel (baritone) - Albertine, his daughter (mezzo-soprano) - Thusman, Freier (tenor) - Edmund Lehsen, paintor, Freier (tenor) - Baron Bensch, Freier (tenor) - the goldsmith Leonhard (baritone) - the jew Manasse (bass) - the valet Voswinkels - crowd, a Chancre (silent parts) In Busoni's musical evolution, this work marks an important phase of radical change after works inspired by Brahms and Verdi. The composer's compositional style became increasingly revolutionary between the sketch of the shport score (1908) and the completion of the orchestral score (1911).Busoni took the greatest care in preparing the definitive form of the work. He asserted that there was invention in every bar, and assigned an important role to the use of music from other sources: the Hebrew march from Rossini's Mose, for example, or a German dance by Mozart, military music, American-Indian pentatonic music, Gregorian plainchant, melodies from the synagogue and even quotes from his own works. With these stylistic means, Busoni followed Hoffmann's serapiontic principle and came closer to his idea of a timeless world music without borders. $98.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 3 to 4 weeks | | |

Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA09099-65). ISBN 9790006565672. 32.5 x 25.5 cm inches. Key: E minor. WithElverskud(The Erl-Kings Daughter), Gade presented his secondsecular cantata for soloists, choir and orchestra, the first having been his successfulComalaOp. 12 (1845/46). The genre was quite popular among his contemporaries. This time, Gade planned to base the work on the text of a folk song. Originally, he had approached Hans Christian Andersen for a text but a collaboration did not materialize. The text Gade ultimately chose for his music was that of a ballad most likely penned by Emil Erslev and Gade himself. A German translation by Edmund Lobedanz was added at a later time.
The composition, started in 1851 and finished in March of 1854, soon became an international success and one of Gade's most-performed works. In 1864, the composer made a number of changes to the instrumentation. While the new version was subsequently used for all performances conducted by Gade, the changes were never incorporated into the printed edition of the score. This edition is the first to present this 1864 version.

| Bass Clarinet Double Concerto Potenza Music
Bass clarinet and wind ensemble SKU: P2.W0013 Composed by Jonathan Russel...(+)
Bass clarinet and wind ensemble SKU: P2.W0013 Composed by Jonathan Russel. Published by Potenza Music (P2.W0013). Composer Jonathan Russell writes, My basic idea when I conceived of the Bass Clarinet Double Concerto was the Weber Clarinet Concertos meet heavy metal music. On the one hand, I have spent many hours over the years practicing Weber's clarinet concertos and have always enjoyed the over-the-top virtuosity and flashiness of these pieces. On the other, I have been a fan since middle school of Guns N' Roses, Metallica and other hard rock and heavy metal bands, and I already channel heavy metal through the bass clarinet as a member of the Edmund Welles bass clarinet quartet. When it came to writing a bass clarinet double concerto, it thus seemed logical (to me) to try and combine the heaviness and raw power of heavy metal with the dancing virtuosity and lyricism of Weber's concertos... The piece was composed for my bass clarinet duo Sqwonk, and was premiered in December 2007 by Sqwonk and the San Francisco Composers' Chamber Orchestra.
This version of the piece is for bass clarinet duo and wind ensemble accompaniment. Solo parts are included on the enclosed CD.
Solo Parts Included: Solo Bass Clarinet 1, Solo Bass Clarinet 2, Wind Ensemble (Piccolo, Flutes 1-3, Oboe, English Horn, Bassoon, Eb Clarinet, Bb Clarinets 1-3, Bass Clarinets 1-2, Contrabass Clarinet, Alto Saxophones 1-2, Tenor Saxophone, Baritone Saxophone, Trumpets 1-3, Horns 1-4, Trombones 1-2, Bass Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba, Double Bass, Harp, Percussion 1 - Triangle, Hi Hat, Snare Drum, Percussion 2 - Toms, Bongos, Percussion 3 - Glockenspiel, Crotales, Bass Drum, Suspended Cymbal, Marimba, Percussion 4 - Timpani, Triangle, Vibraphone). $99.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

| Root of Ether Potenza Music
Bass flute solo SKU: P2.10020 Composed by Cornelius Boots. Solo music, 20...(+)
Bass flute solo SKU: P2.10020 Composed by Cornelius Boots. Solo music, 20th century. Published by Potenza Music (P2.10020). The first part of the Chthonic Flute Suite commissioned by Areon Flutes in 2012. This suite has two main inspirations: ideologically it draws guidance from the book The Dream and the Underworld (1979)by James Hillman (1926-2011) and musically it explores the textural possibilities of a flute ensemble within the context of the heavy chamber music style I have developed with Edmund Welles: the bass clarinet quartet since 1996. This style draws virtuosic precision from the classical realm; innovation and texture from jazz; and power, rhythm and overall perspective from rock and metal. The term chthonic [thon-ik] generally means underworld. However, Hillman thoroughly elaborates that its true meaning extends below the earth and beyond it into invisible, non-physical and far distant psychic realms: the deeper mysteries of the invisible. The journey to the underworld is a solo undertaking of the self, towards the unknown, yet still rooted within. The low bass tones invoke mystery and point the direction. As an explorer, licensed teacher of and composer for the shakuhachi (an ancient Zen flute crafted from the thicker root-end of bamboo) I have become initiated into the sense-characteristics of playing a flute that has actual roots as part of its structure. Physically this changes the balance, sonically it presents certain deepening qualities, and aesthetically it alters your connection to the dead and dried piece of nature. I have composed 27 solo pieces and etudes for Taimu (a very thick, bass variant on the traditional shakuhachi flute) and tapped into the same dense, slow, timbral approach for this movement. However, the chromatic, metal, modern bass flute offers a whole new set of possibilities and so the movement explores a wide realm of sounds and tempos. Being rooted in the actual ground is an appropriate starting point for the underworld exploration of the whole suite that only goes deeper from this point downwards. The primacy of the root pitch in tonal music is another contributing facet to the root aspect of this title. $14.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 2 to 3 weeks | | |
