Imagine a campfire! Envision sitting around the bright flames with your friends and family singing songs out in the great expanse. Imagine that those melodies you sing stir up joy, hope, and belief in the great wonders of the world. Melodies have connected different kinds of people for many, many years. Music brings us closer, and music makes any occasion more festive and memorable. This book was written to promote the love of old folk melodies, provide processional music for special celebrations, and to include players of all levels. Music educators will find that there are many possibilities and combinations for practice and performance. Includes a 16-page pull-out section of twelve selected pieces for an optional cello part.

It is my great hope that music students, families, and educators will all enjoy this very special collection of Beautiful Melodies from Around the World.

The study in synchronicity, se sont penches dessus first achieved its final scoring after many changes. It was first composed as music to a choreography by Gabriel Hernandez: Le (!). eh ? Zovotrimaserovmeravmerouv ian (dmzn !) ; se sont penches dessus, which is based on the letters of a fragment translated into French that appears in James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake. The short, static piece has existed in three versions: 1. - sspd , electronic music (normal version, a glissando from one chord of four sounds to another, employed in the electronics of No. 3) 2. - sspd sature, electronic music (intentionally distorted version of No. 1) 3. - se sont penches dessus for violin, alto flute and electronics, in which the flutist had to sing one tone of a diad It turns out that a version for two equal string instruments can better render the harmony of the piece (a tone sung simultaneously with a tone that is played on the flute yields a ring-modulated mixture of sound which is too indistinct), and thus the duo version for 2 violins was composed. A collaboration with the Kairos Quartet, Berlin, (le second tour du noye, 3rd String Quartet) led me to smuggle a viola and cello into the piece as background, in order to glue the abrupt harmonic changes discretely together. The Duo and the Quartet are definitive and equally valid versions, both of which are available separately: Duo (Carus 16.327/10), Quartet (Carus 16.327). se sont penches dessus is now literally the transposition of the translated quotation from James Joyce, in which the letters of the text se sont penches dessus establish the basic structure of the piece (the rhythmic standstill denotes the vowels of the 4 words), the letters of Zovotrimaserovmeravmerouv ian indicate the fine rhythmic structure and the manner of playing (e.g., sul ponticello).

Leichte Duos für zwei Violinen. Composed by Janos Lavotta. Educational Tool. Book Only. Composed 2014. 48 pages. Editio Musica Budapest #EMBZ14880. Published by Editio Musica Budapest (BT.EMBZ14880).

Composer and violinist János Lavotta (1764-1820), as a member of the ''virtuoso trio'' who played a great role in the history of Hungarian music, was one of the pioneers of verbunkos music. (The other two key players being János Bihari and Antal Csermák.) Although Lavotta s Violin Duos Op. 49 must have also been used for playing music at home, they show the composer's clear educational intent since the fourteen consecutive pieces gradually increase in difficulty in both technical and musical respects. The relatively short and undemanding melodies (which can be grasped by beginners), the sequence-like structure that makes practising individual technical elements possible, therhythmical-harmonic accompanying forms, as well as the temperately applied modulations are definitely suitable for beginner violinists to achieve significant progress in playing. According to music historian Mária Domokos, Lavotta's duos could have been included in the syllabus of any contemporary music school at the time. The first publication of Easy Duos - which came out on the 250th anniversary of the Lavotta's birth - was edited by János Dombóvári who provided the fingering and the necessary instructions for performance.

Die Erstauflage von EASY DUOS - die anlässlich des 250. Geburtstag von Lavotta erschien - wurde von János Dombóvári mit Fingersätzen und Spiel-Tipps ergänzt. Die 14 relativ kurzen, spielfreundlichen Melodien, die unkomplizierte rhythmisch-harmonischeStr uktur und die einfachen Modulationen machen sie zu idealen Übungsstücken für Anfänger, ohne diese jedoch zu unterfordern.
