The magnificent shows at the Moulin Rouge have left their mark on the collective imagination of all who read about them. For decades, a small but spectacular band formed one of the basic ingredients in this internationally famedcabaret theatre. With the first sounds of this composition by Peter Kleine Schaars, the exciting Parisian nightlife immediately comes to mind. The musette takes us to quartier Pigalle, the red-light district of Paris, and when thedoors of the Moulin Rouge open, we hear the recognizable rhythms of a contemporary disco: a combination of the rhythmic cells 8 / 4 and 3 / 14. In addition, the composition has been highlighted with a plentiful and varied use of rhythmic cell 5. Naturally, the themes and accompaniments have been divided equally among all parts.

De schitterende shows in de Parijse Moulin Rouge spreken tot ieders verbeelding. Een klein maar spectaculair orkest vormde tientallen jaren een van de basisingrediënten in dit wereldwijd vermaarde variététheater. Met de eersteklanken van deze compositie van Peter Kleine Schaars wanen we ons meteen in de Franse hoofdstad. De musette brengt ons naar quartier Pigalle, de rosse buurt van Parijs, en als de deuren van de Moulin Rouge zich openen, horen we deherkenbare ritmieken van een hedendaagse disco: een combinatie van de ritmische cellen 8-4 en 3-14. Daarnaast is de compositie geaccentueerd met een veelvuldig en gevarieerd gebruik van ritmische cel 5. Uiteraard zijn de thema’sen begeleidingen evenredig verdeeld over alle stemmen.

Die Musette führt uns ins Quartier Pigalle, das Rotlichtviertel von Paris, undwenn sich die Türen des Moulin Rouge öffnen, erklingen die bekannten Rhythmen einer modernen Disco: eine Kombination der Rhythmus-Einheiten 8 / 4 und 3 / 14. Darüber hinaus ist die Komposition durch eine vielfältige Verwendung derRhythmus-Einheit 5 geprägt. Die Themen und Begleitungen verteilen sich dabei gleichmäßig auf alle Stimmen.

Taneli Kuusisto (1905-88) was a versatile influence in Finnish musical life: composer, pianist, organist, church musician, writer on music, and Rector of the Sibelius Academy. Of the more than 120 solo songs penned by him, Suomalainen rukous (A Finnish Prayer), a setting of a poem by Uuno Kailas composed in 1939 on the eve of the Winter War, has acquired a status all of its own. The solo songs of Taneli Kuusisto are published in two volumes edited by Ismo Lahdetie.

Uhtceare for Flute, Percussion, Violin and Cello. Composed 2014, published 2016. Score included in UYMP's Firewheel Anthology (ISMN M-57036-615-6), recorded by Dark Inventions. Duration: 8'30. Uhtceare is an Old English word meaning ‘anxiety before dawn’ surely a familiar experience to many, not just the Anglo-Saxons. I particularly associate it with the half-awake, early-morning asthma attacks that I had as a child. The piece starts in a nocturnal, dreamlike state with chords that pulse gently, like the rise and fall of breaths. These swelling patterns become increasingly fraught, while soloists sporadically emerge with a sense of urgency, and culminate in a loud, chaoticpassage where the percussionist moves from tuned Percussion to Drums. Following this, the Flute plays agile, looping figures that are soon mimicked by the Violin and then the Vibraphone. These figures are frenetic but harmonically static, so that when all three instruments are playing them simultaneously, there is a whirlwind of activity that paradoxically seems to remain stationary. I thought this was a fitting musical analogue for the fruitless but insistent circling of anxious early-morning thoughts. A dramatic Cello solo interrupts these imitative cycles and leads the ensemble in a cacophonous final crescendo. Commissioned by Dark Inventions and first performed by them on 8th May 2014 at The Engine House, Manchester.

Night Dance is a brief, evocative work for flute or clarinet and guitar. It was originally conceived as one movement of a 45-minute cycle of vocal and instrumental music called Night Songs. Composed in 2007, this cycle was built around night-themed poetry by the spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca. As a work standing on its own, Night Dance has no specific program, but its circling melodic cells, subtly shifting rhythmic grooves, and undulating harmonies evoke, for me, mysterious nocturnal creatures scurrying and dancing through an enchanted night forest.

Commissioned on behalf of The Viney Grinberg Duo (Liam Viney and Anna Grinberg) by the University of Queensland School of Music and the Creative Collaboratorium, Handwork was premiered at UQ in August 2015, shortly before its U.S. premiere at Yale School of Music the following month by the Duo (both of whom are YSM alumni). Bresnick points to the multi-faceted aspect of Handwork, including a dreamy fantasia, a nocturne, a folk-song, a Latin-American dance with much prominent counterpoint and poly-metric intrigue..
Handwork is many things - a dreamy fantasia, a nocturne, a folk-song, a Latin-American dance with much prominent counterpoint and poly-metric intrigue. Handwork is sometimes tonal with crunchy Prokofiev-like dissonances. There are obvious Bartókian octatonic passages in the development, followed by a Persian free-rhythm Santur variation. A dream-like fragment of a Beethoven minuet briefly appears. The work concludes with a re-statement of the opening subject in it's simple, enigmatic ambiguity.

Studio-Pop consists of five movements. The firstmovement, entitled Marching on a String, is anenergetic rock march in a modern rhythm. Next,the charming Dreaming of Summer has beencomposed in three-four time - which is quiteunusual in modern pop music. The inspiration forthe third movement, Chicken-Charley was a youngman selling chicken legs from a stall. His supple,dancing movements can be recognised in the music.The fourth movement, Candlelight is a modern,attractive ballad. Finally, Discoteca takes us along ona night visit to a Spanish discotheque. The typicallySpanish chords and the stirring, high-spirited rhythmprovide an exuberant closing to Studio-Pop.

Een temperamentvol werk in popstijl dat bestaat uit vijf verschillende delen. Een energieke rockmars in een modern ritme wordt gevolgd door een charmant deel in driekwartsmaat - in de moderne popmuziek is dat vrij uitzonderlijk. Daaropvolgt een stukje soepele dansmuziek. In een moderne, sfeervolle ballad zijn de samenklanken vervolgens spannend, maar ze lossen steeds weer op in een romantische stemming. Ten slotte zorgen typisch Spaanse akkoorden en een opzwependritme voor een uitbundige afsluiting.

Ein temperamentvolles Werk in fünf Sätzen im Pop-Stil. Ein energiereicher Marsch in einem modernen Rhythmus wird gefolgt von einem charmanten Satz im - für Popmusik ungewöhnlichen - Dreivierteltakt. Der dritte Satz wurde inspiriert von einem Hähnchenverkäufer an der Riviera, wohingegen der vierte, eine moderne, romantische Ballade gut als Hintergrund zu einem lauschigen Abendessen dienen könnte. Abgeschlossen wird dieses unterhaltsame Werk von einem nächtlichen Besuch einer spanischen Diskothek. Einfache Musik, in der viel steckt!

Studio-Pop est une pièce en cinq mouvements. 1. Marching on a String (“En marchant sur une corde”), est une marche aux inflexions de rock qui affirme un rythme dynamique et moderne. 2. Dreaming of Summer (“Rêves d’été”) est écrit dans un chiffrage de mesure assez inhabituel dans la musique pop, la mesure 3/4. 3. Chicken Charley, est inspiré d’un souvenir de vacances sur la Côte d’Azur où le compositeur a été impressionné par un jeune Antillais vendeur de grillades de cuisses de poulet. La souplesse de ses mouvements transparaît dans la musique fortement dansante. 4. Candlelight (“ la lueur d’une bougie”) est une ballade gracieuse etmoderne, qui pourrait servir de toile de fond un dîner charmant. Les harmonisations sont passionnantes, mais trouvent toujours leur résolution dans une atmosphère romantique. 5. Discoteca vous plonge dans la vie nocturne d’une discothèque espagnole. Les accords typiquement espagnols et le rythme exaltant créent un finale exubérant.

Stavros Angelou is an active, prolific composer from Greece, who has published his first two collections for guitar. This second book features eight works in different styles for the solo guitar, all requiring a very advanced technique and understanding of the instrument and music. Containing works such as 'Prelude and Dance', or 'Nocturnal', or 'Thinking in another beat', each piece is a marvel to play or listen to, but the collection as a whole has a place in every guitarist's home.
