The Secret Of Technique In Cello Playing.Daily practice for soloists and advanced players by Albert Sammons. Op20. Transcribed by Lionel Handy. 'I was introduced to Albert Sammons' classic work The Secret of Technique in Violin Playing by Hugh Bean. I was fortunate to play chamber music with Bean for many years and he maintained that his ability to keep his technical level was largely due to Sammons teaching in general and this book in particular. Bean was a pupil of Sammons for more than twenty years and believed that this concise work was ofgreat benefit to students and also professional players with limited practice time. I am very grateful to Mr Richard King Sammons grandson and Mrs Mary Bean for allowing me not only to transcribe this work for Cello but also to include where appropriate the suggestions Sammons made in his original text and the additional notes that Bean added in the 2002 edition. I have tried to stay as close as possible to Sammons material but some adaptation has obviously been necessary. I hope that my own comments for cellists will clarify the changes that have been made and are offered as Hugh Bean said in his 2002 edition in the spirit of wishing to help both aspiring and established string players utilize to the full their practice time. Although this transcription contains several exercises not found in the classic Cello studies of Popper Duport and Grutzmacher et al I hope that the unorthodox nature of these exercises will broaden and free the imagination of cellists by providing a more extended approach to Cello technique.' - Lionel Handy

Par ECCLES HENRY. Henry Eccles left behind a number of smaller works most of which were written for violins or flutes. However, the most famous is this Sonata in G minor. Though often played in transcription by violinists and especially by double bass players, the sonata was originally published for cello in four movements – Prelude, Courante, Sarabande and Gigue – accompanied by a figured bass. Little is known about Henry Eccles. Neither his birth nor his death date has been firmly established, ranging respectively between 1675-85 and 1735-45. It is not even certain that he composed this sonata. He probably hailed from London and later served at the court of Louis XV in France. The editorChristoph Sassmannshaus, is the grandson of Egon Sassmannshaus, the founder of the “Early Start” series of string methods. / Niveau : 3 / Répertoire / Violoncelle et Piano

Charles Gounod's Requiem Op. Posth in C for SATB and Piano.Charles Gounod composed this Requiem under the impact of the death of his four-year-old grandson Maurice. According to information handed down while finishing the details of this work he was overtaken by death. It was published posthumously in various constellations by his pupil Henri Busser but the only complete version from the pen of Gounod is the version for large orchestra which is published here for the first time in a critical edition.Gounod?s Requiem unlike many contemporary settings of the Mass of the Dead is not characterized by darkness and terror. Rather with all of itstrepidation expressed through a marked chromaticism an atmosphere of hopeful expectation of trust in the grace and equity of the divine judge predominates. This confidence finds its expression in the choice of the fundamental key of C major which is rather unusual for a requiem. The work was given an impressive performance on the occasion of the first anniversary of Gounod?s death in the Parisian church of Sainte-Madeleine under the direction of Gabriel Fauré and it was highly acclaimed by the contemporary press.

We encounter him before his wedding before celebrating his wedding anniversary and now as an elderly widower who says to his grandson:“Soon we will dance in the God-light My love and I.Soon will the moon be ours again And the endless shining starsIn the halls of heaven.Soon my love very soon;But tonight one last time Tonight I dance alone.”The libretto and the descriptive music are deeply moving and constitute an ideal partnership. This is Mårten Jansson's first collaboration withthe well-known librettist Charles Anthony Silvestri. The piece provides a well-worth challenge for ambitious choirs.Its world-premiere by the Saint Louis Chamber Chorus under the baton of Philip Barneswas on 1 October 2017 in Saint Louis MO (USA)- mixed chorus a cappella (SATB + SATB)
