If you are
looking to work on the
musicality of your
ensemble this year, look
no further than this
beautiful new piece from
composer George Sweet.
Lush harmonies and
cascading sounds make
this a wonderful piece of
music. It is contemporary
and fresh and uses all of
the forces of the string
orchestra to great
effect. An elegant choice
for your next concert or
festival
performance. The
title, A Silent Echo,
refers to the lasting
influence, or echo, that
a singular event can have
on the period of time
following it. These
echoes can result from
events which range from
triumphant to tragic. The
resulting echo has a
lasting influence, which
can still be felt, on
both private and public
levels, long after the
causal event has
transpired. The piece
opens with a series of
inverted pyramid chords.
Make sure that each voice
is balanced properly with
the others, so that all
of the notes of the
resulting chord blend
together evenly. The main
theme appears at m. 9 in
the first violins. Once
again, be careful to
balance this section so
that the resulting
dissonances fit within
the chord. The second
violins play the melody
at m. 19, which leads to
a short B-section at m.
29. Be careful not to
lose momentum when
playing the pyramid
chords directly preceding
the B-material. After
both A- and B-themes are
presented again, new
material occurs at m. 54
and leads the piece
through a vibrant
C-section that reaches a
climax at m. 63. Both A-
and B-themes are then
restated which brings the
piece to a quiet and
subdued close.

Quella di
Miguel Llobet (1878-1938)
è una figura di
indiscussa importanza
nella storia della
chitarra. La sua
biografia, tuttavia, è
rimasta a lungo
scarsamente indagata a
causa della difficile
reperibilità delle
fonti, e anche il ruolo
da lui rivestito nella
storia chitarristica era
in attesa di una adeguata
rivalutazione. Il lungo e
sistematico lavoro di
ricerca qui presentato,
condotto negli archivi e
nelle emeroteche di
diversi paesi, ha portato
lâ??autore a ricostruire
dettagliatamente, su base
documentaria, una
biografia della quale
sino ad oggi si
possedevano solo notizie
frammentarie e incerte,
sottraendo allâ??oblio
aspetti inediti
dellâ??itinerario umano
ed artistico del
chitarrista catalano: la
giovinezza, i viaggi,
lâ??attivitÃ
concertistica, i rapporti
coi musicisti
contemporanei, la genesi
delle opere. Una ricerca
che intende finalmente
restituire al ruolo
rivestito da Llobet le
giuste proporzioni,
offrendo perciò al
contempo un contributo
per una messa a fuoco
generale della storia
chitarristica del
Novecento.

This
, the ninth of a series
of books begun in 1983,
contains Brian Wren's 36
most recent hymns (2009
to 2012). It is nicely
presented and laid out in
a user-friendly way. The
hymns are divided into
five thematic sections:
Jesus from Cradle to
Cross; Easter Hymns;
Church and Mission;
Praise; and Metrical
Psalms. This last
section, rooted in
(though not bound by) the
Old Testament, is often
influenced by Isaac Watts
and will be of more use
to some than others; it
concludes with a
tremendous rendering of
Psalm 8; a paean of
praise which all will
love, set to a stirring
tune.
Each
section is prefaced with
a single page
introduction listing the
contents and, in some
instances, giving an
interesting insight into
Brian Wren's theology and
thinking which provides
food for contemplation.
Each hymn is printed in
words format with all the
necessary information for
inclusion in an order of
worship. Every hymn is
also printed with full
score music for
accompaniment interlined
with the words. The book
is slightly larger than
A5, and there are various
useful indexes.
The tunes range from
ancient to modern, some
very familiar, including
Candler (better known as
Ye Banks and
Braes). A number are
of a metre where
alternative tunes are
available. Those tunes
which are new vary in
ease of use; some will be
readily picked up, others
would prove challenging
for occasional use in a
small congregation but
could be used as music
group items.
These are hymns which
need to be read as a
whole and require
thought. The words are
chosen with care and
notable as much for those
not used as those
included e.g.: 'Christ,
untameably alive,/
breathe your life upon us
- / Compass, Governor and
Guide, / with us and
beyond us,/ Sky and
Sunlight, / spreading
Vine./ Spring of Living
Water,/ Truth and Wisdom,
Way and Word,/ here, and
then hereafter.' These
hymns will be useful in
worship as either sung or
read pieces, and will
also prove an invaluable
resource for private
devotion.
