Gateway to French Mélodies führt durch einen angenehmen Garten voller Poesie und Musik die leidenschaftlich und gefühlvoll gleichermaßen ist. Jeder Song erweckt ein Werk der französischen Kunst zum Leben mit sinnlicher Schönheit mit verführerischem Anmut und oftmals auch mit Humor. Verstehen was man singt ist das Konzept der Gateway Series. Jeder französische Liedtext wird zum Einen Wort für Wort und zum Anderen sinngemäß ins Englische übersetzt. So lernt der Sänger jedes Lied mit Überzeugung mit allen eventuell vorher unklar gewesenen phonetischen oder grammatischenFragen weiterhin wird die mögliche Interpretation jedes Werkes so deutlich. Der kulturelle Kontext jedes Liedes wird beleuchtet genau wie das Leben und das Werk der jeweiligen Komponisten.

Owain Park's Above The Stars My Saviour Dwells for SATB  composed in 2017. Duration: 3 minutes. 'Owain Park was assistant conductor of the RSCM Millennium Youth Choir from 2012 to 2014 and went on to form the Gesualdo Six with singers from the MYC at that time. He is now also finding increasing success as a composer as evidenced by these recent commissions. A Prayer of Thomas Ken sets a lovely text that asks God to ‘make the door of this house wide enough to receive all who need human love and fellowship and a heavenly Father’s love’ but ‘narrow enough to shut out allenvy pride and hate … Make it a gateway to thine eternal kingdom.’ Commissioned by Wells Cathedral Voluntary Choir the music has a warm E major melody with a flexible metre that returns for the final Amen. In between the details of ‘envy pride and hate’ ‘stumbling block’ straying feet’ and ‘the tempter’s power’ are all nicely depicted. The other two pieces were both written for the choir of Trinity College Cambridge and are more difficult especially Above the stars my saviour dwells. But the music of both has a gentle melodiousness and well-shaped vocal lines that make them rewarding to sing. The simple melody that permeates Justorum animae passed from voice to voice has poise and memorability.' - Sunday by Sunday

Score-'Down the moving line suddenly came the surging chant:Chi Rho Omega Lambda Chi!We meet tonight to celebrateThe Omega Lambda Chi!'''Omega Lambda Chi' was a fictitious fraternity created by some Yale sophomores in the 1870's. Freshmen were pledged to a non-existent society so they would buy the sophomores cigars and drinks. By the 1880's the name 'Omega Lambda Chi' had become applied to a wild May night of campus festivities. Classes paraded (sometimes with a band) singing shooting firecrackers and cheering the buildings of the Old Campus. Climaxing the rough and tumble evening was the 'Pass of Thermopolae.' In this brutal affair theFreshman class ran the gauntlet through the large stone Phelps Gateway while receiving the blows of the three upper classes. March: Omega Lambda Chi was probably written during Ives' Christmas vacation in 1895 and completed upon his return to school. It bears the title 'March on the air: Omega Lambda Chi 76 South Middle Campus January 4 1896.' The Yale Daily News reports that the ceremony took place that spring (May 18 1896) and that one of Ives' best friends D. C. Twitchell (later his brother-in-law) was one of the Omega Lambda Chi marshals. By 1900 the Omega Lambda Chi had become too dangerous and was outlawed by the faculty. Another Ives composition which was inspired by a Yale festive evening is Calcium Light Night.Charles Ives was a Yale student from 1894-1898. He was a popular figure on campus and was very active in social athletic and musical life. In 1928 Ives made a list of his band music on the back of one of his insurance company calendars. At least ten original band works are thought to have existed; there are numerous others that were band inspired. Only March: Omega Lambda Chi and March: Intercollegiate have been found complete in their band form. The tune 'Omega Lambda Chi' is derived from 'Sailing sailing' found in the first strain. The second strain and trio

10 Intermediate-Level, Traditional Klezmer Pieces. 'Klezmer Duets” by Deborah Strauss and Alan Bern is an ideal introduction to this traditional music. Although the clarinet is now associated with klezmer music, the violin was actually used centuries before the clarinet was even invented. Over that time, violinists developed special techniques of bowing, articulation, ornamentation, phrasing and timing to express the nuances of the music. These nuances cannot exactly be written down in standard notation and klezmer can be thought of as a kind of semi-improvised music. In their arrangements, Strauss and Bern have offered one way of playing each piece, not a definitive way. An appendix explains the way these variations and ornamentations can be applied to the bare bones of other pieces - another appendix gives help to the accordion player. The authors have also provided free articles and videos online to assist the players further. Treat this book as a stepping off point to explore this evocative music - it's a gateway to the amazing world of klezmer music!/ Recueil / Violon et Accordéon
