In this edition written in German, The Technique Of My Musical Language by Olivier Messiaen explains the full theory behind Messiaen?s compositions. Enabling a better understanding, this book will help advanced students and professionals for the interpretation of his work, and is a must-have for all composers. This book includes the scales of limited transpositions, well-known in Jazz, the rhythmic permutations, as well as other techniques. Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was a French organist and composer passionate about Ornithology and one of the most important composer of his century. Inspired by Japanese music, he had a very special way of composing and his work can be identified by its complexity, its diatonic aspect, its harmony with limited transposition, its colour and its additive rhythms. He composed many works related to ornithology and birdsong, including the ''Bird Catalogue'' in 7 volumes and the ''Treatise on rhythm, colour and ornithology'' in 7 volumes..

...called dusk II for string quartet draws its inspiration from a line in Samuel Beckett's short story Lessness: 'Figment dawn dispeller of figments and the other called dusk'.The work is a kind of double Chaconne, each part of which contains 26 chords based on specific permutations of fundamental notes and their harmonics. Each of the parts pass through alternating, harmonically contrasted planes, becoming entwined in the manner of a chimera through their rhythmic structure and dynamics. This intermittently produces a sort of 'inner voice' which runs through all four instruments. The fundamental notes and harmonics separate during the progress of the composition, becoming independent and then disintegrating. The consonant harmony resulting from the amalgamation of the two planes ultimately collapses into a rigid motor-like linearity. Detlev Muller-Siemens.

This work for Tuba and Brass Band was commissioned by and written for internationally renowned tuba soloist Steve Sykes. The Tuba plays four notes (F, Bb, G, C) during the opening. All the themes and much of the harmonic structure are based on these fours notes and their permutations. The soloist receives ample opportunity to showcase his or her technical prowess and expressive capabilities. Fantasia for Tuba also provides plenty of interaction between the soloist and brass band.

In de loop der eeuwen is schitterende kerstmuziek geschreven. In de dertiende eeuw ontstond March of the Three Kings. Deze melodie, die wordt toegeschreven aan een anonieme monnik, is nog altijd geliefd. In Fantasia on a13th Century Carol is de melodie verwerkt in diverse variaties en stijlen, met als hoogtepunt een symfonische mars.

Dieses Werk für Tuba und Brass Band entstand im Auftrag des international renommierten Tubasolisten Steve Skyes. Zu Beginn intoniert die Tuba die vier Noten F, B G und C, auf welchen alle Themen, viele Harmonien und Permutationen basieren. Vor dem kraftvollen Schluss hat der Solist viel Gelegenheit, sein technisches Können und seine Ausdruckskraft unter Beweis zu stellen, aber auch für den Dialog mit anderen Solisten und der gesamten Brass Band ist Raum in dieser kunstvollen Fantasia.

Choral (SATB)

The stars are aligned for Stephen Sondheim's 1981 Broadway â??failureâ?, which, through the eyes of time (which the musical expertly navigates, to an astounding effect), has been re-appraised as a under appreciated masterpiece from the late composer. Jason Robert Brown takes the many permutations of the main theme and pares them down to this exquisite and genuine choral arrangement.

Flute and Piano

SKU: IS.FP7297EM

Peter Benoit, one of the great Flemish Romantic composers and often considered the origin of the Flemish School, was better known for his piano and choral music than for his wind music. Nevertheless, his one entry into the flute repertoire - the Concerto - is an exemplary piece of high Romanticism that combines symphonic writing with idiomatic, virtuosic flute technique. Composed as part of a ‘legendary triptych’ - the Stories and Ballads for Piano, the Symphonic Tale for Piano and orchestra, and the Flute Concerto - the three movements show the Concerto for the tone poem it is at heart. The first Preludium (Will-o’-the-Wisps) begins with a fiery orchestral fanfare, with an equally grand entrance by the soloist that introduces the first theme and launches the movement into the formidable back-and-forth between soloist and orchestral forces. The second, Melancholia, somewhat resembles the Molique Andante in its construction - a clear, wistful theme is embellished and carefully expanded into a full musical showpiece for flute. The Finale (Dance of the Wisps) then immediately launches into a display of the flutist’s agility, moving through various permutations of the theme before coming to an exuberant, grateful landing.

Permutations. Although ideally performed as flute choir (front and center stage) with two groups of various wind players distributed within the performance space, Dionysiacs is flexible enough to be performed by a lone soloist with pre-recorded ensemble, or select flute parts with augmenting pre-recorded tracks, or any number of variations. Best when performed live with the full complement, the score also calls for the extra musicians (or gli altri) to have ocarinas, nose whistles, and other instruments handy, along with their primary wind instruments. For advanced performers.
