Ravel's first sketch of the score as well as his final handwritten score were laid down as the principal sources. In his preface, Monnard examines Ravel's sound aesthetics against the background of concert reception and historical recordings. Moreover, he also provides insights into Ravel's ideas concerning the tempo: ,,I must say that the Bolero is rarely conducted the way I think it should. Mengelberg speeds up and slows down excessively. Toscanini takes it twice as fast as it should be and broadens the tempo at the close, which is indicated nowhere. No: the Bolero should be played in one single tempo from the beginning to the end, in the plaintive and monotonous style of Spanish-Arabian melodies. The performance material to Ravel's Bolero can now also be purchased in its entirety for the first time.

Brass quintet - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2845

Composed by Herbert L. Clarke. Arranged by Geoffrey Bergler. American early 20th Century. Score and parts. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2845).

Cornet solos are an important part of the American Brass tradition. The Southern Cross is one of Clarke's most well known Cornet solos and was written in 1911, dedicated to the Australians and first recorded by the composer with Orchestra the next year for Victor Records.
During 1911, Clarke was the solo Cornetist of the Sousa Band while the band was on a world tour that included visits to South Africa, Tazmania and Australia from March through to August.
Below is a photo of the Sousa band from their 1911 tour. Clarke is sitting in the front row 5th in from the right with his moustache and his Cornet on his lap. He assuredly composed this solo to perform on that tour. The Southern Cross is a constellation that is only seen from the southern hemisphere and features the five stars of the Cross from the 1901 design of the Australian flag.

This 5-minute virtuosic arrangement by Geoffrey Bergler features not only the Cornet, but a bit of all the other four members of the Brass Quintet.
Instrumentat ion is for:
2 Trumpets in B-flat (Trumpet 1 solo, Trumpet 2 also plays Piccolo)
Horn,
Tr ombone
Tuba/Bass Trombone
The sound track below features Mr. Bergler from his student days as Cornet soloist

The BAND TIME series consists of a number of books containing easy pieces suitable for youth band. BAND TIME Starter is intended for the first year of band playing and includes four-part pieces in many different styles. The difficulty of the pieces increases in parallel with the material covered in the first part of the Look, Listen and Learn method. The first three works, however, are three-part pieces in order to accommodate the limited range of notes available at this stage. The BAND TIME series is suitable for various combinations of instruments provided that the parts are divided in a sensible way (for concert band, fanfare band or brass band). The material for altosaxophone, trombone and baritone/euphonium/bass clarinet is divided into parts 1 and 2 in order to cover all voices using the most popular instruments.

De serie Band Time is ontwikkeld om kinderen vroeg kennis te laten maken met het samenspel in een blaasorkest. Band time Starter maakt dit al in het eerste jaar mogelijk. Deze uitgave bevat vierstemmige stukken in diversestijlen- de eerste drie stukken zijn drie stemmig, aangespast aan de vaardigheden van de beginnende leerling. De moeilijkheidsgraad en de muzikale inhoud zijn gebasseerd op Horen, Lezen and Spelen. In de partituur staatuitgelegd hoe u de serie optimaal benut en hoe de instrumentatie in uw specifieke bezetting het best kan worden toegepast. Op de los verkrijgbare cd worden de stukken door een harmonieorkest voorgespeeld, zodat de leerlingen thuiseen goede indruk krijgen van hoe de stukken klinken. Ze kunnen zelf meespelen of ernaar luisteren. Dit zal de motifatie (en het studieresultaat) bevorderen.

Parall el zu den ersten Stunden Instrumentalunterricht werden die jungen Musiker mit den Stücken dieser Sammlung für das Spielen im Anfängerorchester motiviert. BAND TIME Starter eignet sich für das erste Jahr im Blasorchester und enthält vierstimmige Stücke in vielen verschiedenen Stilen. Der allmählich fortschreitende Schwierigkeitsgrad entspricht dem Stoff der Bläserschule Hören, lesen und spielen Band 1, kann aber auch gut unabhängig davon eingesetzt werden. Die ersten drei Stücke passen sich mit ihren lediglich drei Stimmen dem noch begrenzten Tonumfang an, über den die Schüler in diesem Stadium verfügen. Aus dem gleichen Grund weichen manchmaldieselben Stimmen für unterschiedliche Instrumente leicht voneinander ab. Geringfügige Abweichungen erklären sich au�erdem aus manchen besonderen Bedingungen bei einem bestimmten Instrument, zum Beispiel schwierige Tonfolgen. Passend zu der Reihe ist eine CD erhältlich, mit deren Unterstützung die Schüler zu Hause mit richtiger Orchesterbegleitung spielen können. Ein schnellerer Erfolg ist damit gesichert!

L'Obiettivo della collana BAND TIME è quello di motivare i giovani musicisti a suonare in una banda principiante o giovanile. BAND TIME Starter e il suo seguito BAND TIME Expert, come anche i brani natalizi raccolti in BAND TIME Christmas propongono brani in vari generi musicali che seguono il livello di difficolt crescente proposto del metodo Ascolta, leggi and suona (possono essere usati anche separatamente). I brani sono eseguibili gi a partire da un organico di tre o quattro elementi. per ogni collana è disponibile separatamente un CD con gli accompagnamenti orchestrali.

2mixedCh-SATB (2Sg-S-solo,Sg-T-solo,Sg- B-solo,2MixedCh-SATB,Orch )

SKU: BA.BA09188-90

Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Edited by Ulrich Leisinger. Arranged by Hans Schellevis. This edition: urtext edition. Paperback. Barenreiter Urtext. Classical. Vocal Score. KV 427. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA09188_90. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA09188-90).

ISBN 9790006565108. 27 x 19 cm inches. Key: C minor. Text Language: Latin. Preface: Ulrich Leisinger.

Mozart's magnificent unfinishedGreat Mass in C minor K. 427is impressive not only for its monumentality and musical beauty but for its fragmentary state which has fascinated scholars and performers for decades.

Working together with the International Mozarteum Foundation in Salzburg, Barenreiter now presents a new edition of this work, reflecting the cutting edge of scholarship while doing justice to the needs of performers.

High scholarly standards, the completion and reconstruction of movements: this pioneering publication incorporates all this in order to come as close as possible to the work itself:
- TheKyrieandGloria, both of which survive complete in Mozart's hand, are edited in accordance with scholarly standards.
- The first two sections of theCredohave been meticulously completed by the editor Ulrich Leisinger, drawing on original Mozart compositions e.g. the ariaDeh vieni non tardarfromThe Marriage of Figaroand paying attention to a stylistically appropriate and transparent sound.
- TheSanctusandBenedictus(w ith theHosanna), which are either incomplete or survive only in secondary sources, have been reconstructed by the editor.

Sections without any known sources are left out in this edition. Rounding off the publication is an extensive Foreword (Ger/Eng).

The first performance of Ulrich Leisinger's new edition was given in April 2019 in the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg by the Hamburg State Philharmonic Orchestra and the ChorWerk Ruhr under the baton of Kent Nagano. The first Austrian premiere took place in Salzburg on August 2019 in the Great Hall of the Mozarteum, with Andrew Manze conducting the Salzburg Camerata to rousing applause from audience and critics alike.

The C-minor Mass reconstruction by Helmut Eder on the basis of the New Mozart Edition (BA 4846) is still available: the score and performance material are on hire, the vocal score is on sale.

Fast food is especially popular with today’s youth, even though it is generally acknowledged to be quite unhealthy. Peter Kleine Schaars’ new composition, on the other hand, will provide some healthy food for the soul and mind. Fast Food features four courses: Pizza Pronto, presenting Italian delights, Crazy Kebab, Arabian delicacies, the American Cheese Burger, and an exciting Hot Dog Disco. Bon appetite!

Vooral bij de jeugd zeer populair: fast food! Of het gezond is, laten we hier maar in het midden. Dat het goed klinkt, weten we wel zeker! Peter Kleine Schaars serveert maar liefst vier gangen: Pizza Pronto, in Italiaanse stijl geschreven,Crazy Kebab, lekker Arabisch gekruid, dan gevolgd door Cheese Burger en Hot Dog Disco in discostijl. Eet smakelijk!

Fast Food ist bekanntlich besonders bei der Jugend sehr beliebt, auch wenn es nicht gerade gesund sein soll. Gesundheitlich völlig unbedenklich hingegen ist diese pfiffige Komposition von Peter Kleine Schaars, in dem das Blasorchester seinem Publikum nacheinander vier musikalische Gänge serviert: Pizza Pronto, im italienischen Stil geschrieben, Crazy Kebab, arabisch angehaucht, gefolgt von Cheese Burger und Hot Dog Disco im Disco-Stil. Guten Appetit!

Fast Food est un terme bien connu des jeunes, même si le mode de restauration que désigne cette expression n’est pas toujours recommandable au niveau du bien-être alimentaire. Cette composition de Peter Kleine Schaars se veut cependant totalement inoffensive pour la santé de votre orchestre ou de votre public, et les quatre mets qu’elle propose Pizza Pronto, Crazy Kebab, Cheese Burger et Hot Dog Disco seront des plus digestes. Bon appétit!

Fast Food è un termine particolarmente popolare tra i giovani, anche se non sempre sinonimo di qualit . Questa composizione di Peter Kleine Schaars è però un vero toccasana per il pubblico che apprezzer la “freschezza” dei quattro “piatti” proposti: Pizza Pronto, Crazy Kebab, Cheese Burger e Hot Dog Disco.

The Netherlands have been an important trading nation for a long time partly as a result of their geographical situation.
One of the first multinationals in The Netherlands was the ‘Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie’ (VOC).
The aim of the VOC was to send ships to Asia in order to buy pepper and spices, and to take over the Portuguese monopoly in this field. The Company was successful. An era of great prosperity resulted, in which the art of painting (Rembrandt van Rijn) as well as science (Constantijn Huygens) flourished alongside a thriving economy.

1. The Sails are set : There is a lot of hustle and bustle on the quay. The crew are preparing fordeparture. Goodbyes are said and once the sails have been hoisted the ship sets out to sea.

2. A Visit to the Rajah of Yogyakarta: After a voyage of many months the place of destination is reached. A visit to the Radja, the king of the area around Yokyakarta, follows. The dishes and beverages and the native culture in general are very pleasant after having been on a diet of ship’s biscuit and water for such a long time.

3. The Holds have been loaded: The holds have been loaded to the brim, and the voyage home can be begin!

4. Death sails along: Life at sea is rough. not seldom did a sailor die of a tropical disease or scurvy. After a memorial service, the Captain would speak the words ‘One, two, three, in God’s name ...’ and the body, wrapped in canvas, would be committed to the sea.

5. A joyful homecoming: After many months of hardship coming home is perhaps the best part of the entire voyage. The quay is filled with people eager to give the crew a warm welcome.

Nederland is, mede door de geografische ligging, sinds lange tijd een belangrijke handelsnatie.
Eén van de eerste multinationals was de ‘Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie’ (VOC).
Het doel van de VOC was schepen naar Azië testuren om peper en specerijen te kopen en het Portugese monopolie over te nemen.
De VOC werd een succes. Het was een tijd van grote welvaart (Gouden Eeuw), waarin naast een bloeiende economie ook de schilderkunst (Rembrandt vanRijn) en de wetenschap (Constantijn Huygens) floreerden.

1. The Sails are set: Aan de kade is het een drukte van belang. De bemanning maakt het schip klaar voor vertrek. Er wordt afscheid genomen en als de zeilen gehesenzijn zetten we koers naar volle zee.

2. A Visit to the Rajah of Yogyakarta: Na een maandenlange reis wordt de bestemming bereikt. Er volgt een bezoek aan de Radja, de koning van de streek rond Yokyakarta. De spijzen, drankenen de inheemse cultuur zijn zeer aangenaam na maanden scheepsbeschuit en water.

3. The Holds have been loaded: De laadruimtes zijn volgestouwd. De thuisreis kan beginnen.

4. Death sails along: Het leven op zeeis hard. Niet zelden vond een zeeman de dood door een tropische ziekte of scheurbuik. Na een herdenkingsdienst sprak de kapitein de woorden: ‘Eén, twee, drie in Godsnaam .....’, waarna het in zeildoek gewikkelde lichaam aan de golvenwerd toevertrouwd.

5. A joyful homecoming: Na maanden van ontberingen is het thuiskomen misschien wel het mooiste van de hele reis. De kade staat weer vol om de bemanning een warm onthaal te geven.

Harpsichord

SKU: OT.21125

Composed by Daniel Akiva. 5 short pieces for harpsichord/cembalo. Classical. Score. OR-TAV Music Publications #21125. Published by OR-TAV Music Publications (OT.21125).

ISBN 9789655051117. 8.27 x 11.69 inches.

The five short movements for solo cembalo are brief, personal prayers that depict how the subject manages a range of feelings and emotions. The miniatures each represent a different emotional state: reflection, searching, meditation, agitation, and resolution. Each is a small-scale representation of a grand, wide-ranging prayer of supplication.
As a composer, performer, and researcher of early music, writing for cembalo allows me not only to express my special connection to the instrument and the period in which it flourished, but also to present its contemporary dimensions as a rich and versatile instrument.
The piece was composed at the request of Hagai Yodan, who performs it with great skill.
Daniel Akiva is a composer, performer, and educator whose performances on guitar and lute have won great acclaim. Mr. Akiva graduated from the Rubin Academy of Music in Jerusalem in 1981, where he studied classical guitar with Haim Asulin and composition with Haim Alexander. In 1987 he completed his studies at the Geneva Conservatorium in Switzerland where he studied lute with Jonathon Rubin and composition with Jean Ballisa. For many years, he headed the Music Department at the WIZO High School for the Arts in Haifa, which he founded in 1986, and served as the Artistic Director of the Guitar Gems Festival from 2006-2019. As part of his work at WIZO High School, he has developed a method for teaching free improvisation that has been incorporated into the music program at the school.
Mr. Akiva has appeared in concert as a guitarist and lutist and given master classes in Israel, Europe, Russia, the United States, and Latin America. Daniel Akiva’s compositional output includes works for solo instruments, chamber ensembles, choir, voice and guitar, piano, and chamber orchestra. His works have been recorded on twelve CDs, the latest of which, Malchut, was issued by OR-TAV in 2014.
A native of Haifa whose family has lived in Israel for over five hundred years, he was steeped in the Sephardic (Jewish-Spanish) tradition from his youth. Much of his compositional output has been devoted to a dialogue with the music of the Sephardic Jews. Daniel Akiva has also maintained a creative dialogue over many years with the poets and writers Amnon Shamash, Rivka Miriam, and Avner Peretz.

In 1879 schreef Antonin Dvooak zijn Polonaise in opdracht van het comite dat de festiviteiten voorbereidde voor de toentertijd beroemde 'vaderlandse danspartijen'. De bekendste Tsjechische componisten werden gevraagd om hiervoordansen te schrijven. Deze driedelige Polonaise met haar fraaie melodielijnen is echter meer dan een gelegenheidswerkje. De bewerking van Wil van der Beek doet het origineel beslist eer aan.

Antonin Dvorak, dessen Todestag sich im Jahr 2004 zum 100. Mal jahrt, schrieb 1879 die Polonaise im Auftrag des Komitees, welches die Festlichkeiten zu der damals weithin beruhmten Veranstaltung, die Vaterlandischen Tanzfeste, vorbereitete. Nur die besten und bekanntesten tschechischen Komponisten wurden um einem Beitrag gebeten. Die dreiteilige Polonaise mit ihren schonen melodischen Linien ist weit mehr als nur eine Gelegenheitskomposition. Wil van der Beeks Bearbeitung fur Blasorchester macht dem Original alle Ehre und wird auch Ihr Publikum uberzeugen!
