In Party Mood was first composed in 1944 for the West End Celebrity Orchestra. However, it quickly became known as the theme tune to the long running Housewives’ Choice, broadcast daily on theBBC Light Programme from 1946 to 1967. It has been arranged here for solo Piano, and is sure to bring back fond memories of anyone who lived through the era!

The Journey attempts to musically portray the experience of traveling on an early ship, crossing the vast and tumultuous ocean to an uncertain destination. Cast in a rollicking 6/8 meter, the first theme in D minor signifies determination and perseverance, while the second theme signifies hope and faith. The music tosses and turns as the theme is passed to each section and continues to press on to a triumphant landing! We are excited to welcome the music of Brant Karrick to the Carl Fischer Music catalog.

The title of Esa Pietilä’s solo harpsichord work Fata morgana (2019) refers to a special weather con-dition, which creates illusory effect of mirage-like fairy castle-like monuments in the horizon of the sea. The piece brings forth the frightening bass sonority on double manual, full size harpsichord and the brightness on the treble and makes a dialogue out of them. “I got fasci-nated by the sonority, character and power of the low register sound on the instrument, es-pecially when used in non-traditional way and found some kind of especially delightful and outlandish cluster-mud and airy glimmering things which seem to play together, the com-poser describes. The challenges of the piece lie in rhythmical ideas, which are surprisingly multi-faceted and in the short, improvised section. Duration: c. 6’ Esa Pietilän soolo-cembalolle tehdyn sävellyksen otsikko Fata morgana (2019) viittaa erityisen sääil-miön aiheuttamaan illusatoriseen kangastuksen tapaiseen efektiin, joka tuo esiin satulinnojen kaltaisten rakennelmien ilmaantumisen meren horisonttiin. Sävellys tuo esiin cembalon bas-sorekisterin pelottavuuden sekä diskantin kirkkauden ja käy niillä vuoropuhelua. Haltioiduin cembalon alarekisterin erityisestä soinnista, karakteerista ja voimasta, jos sitä käyttää hyvinkin ei-perinteisesti. Löysin myös erityisen hauskasti soivaa klusteri-mutaa ja ilmavaa kimallusta, jotka sointuvat yhteen, Pietilä kuvaa sävellystään. Kappaleen haasteena ovat rytmisesti yllät-tävät ja monitahoiset ideat sekä lyhyt improvisaatiojakso.

Erich Schmid (1907 - 2000) was an orchestra conductor, choir director and university lecturer who promoted world premieres and radiobroadcasts of contemporary music in Switzerland. He himself studied with Bernhard Sekles, among others, then with Arnold Schönberg and followed the aesthetics of the New Viennese School in his compositions. The historical-critical Erich Schmid Edition publishes for the first time all sixteen opus-numbered works as well as three additional piano works. Suite No. 1 is an interesting hybrid that conveys the most modern compositional structure in the genre of light music. Schmid composed it shortly after the end of his year as a master student of Schönberg in Berlin. Like his other works of the time, its unusual instrumentation already shows an effort to move on from classical “high forms†and compose in looser structures, with the free use of the twelve-tone technique providing inner coherence. “Danceâ€, “Waltzâ€, “March†are linked by two inserted “Intermezzi†and introduced by an “Introductionâ€. Not all movements require full instrumentation and are designed for solo rather than group performance. Professional playing techniques such as flutter tonguing and alienating sound effects through damping and muting are used.

The historical-critical Erich Schmid Edition publishes for the first time all sixteen opus-numbered works as well as three additional piano works. The playfully inventive cycle for voice, piano and string quartet, dedicated to his “dear wife†Martha, brings together short compositions written in 1937-40. “These are,†says Schmid, “12 small pieces in a wide variety of instrumentation and different forms - some of them twelve-tone pieces, some of them in a technique that comes close. An attempt to write music that is technically easier to perform.†The arch-like overall form combines folksong-like vocal numbers on text from “Des Knaben Wunderhorn†with solo pieces, quartet movements and counterpoint art on the name of “BACH†and expresses Schmid's view of music in a subtly personal way.

It is dark and raining. You are on holiday in the Scottish highlands and looking for somewhere to stay for the night when you come across a magnificent Gothic castle.

As you are dropping off to sleep, you are startled by the sudden appearance in your room of a ghostly bagpiper and a loud scream from somewhere down the corridor. You jump out of bed and decide to make a quick exit. All members of your band will love this spooky tale especially as they can add their own ghostly sounds and effects.
