In the summer of 1913 Satie once more poked fun at himself and the world of music with a set of parodic piano pieces on various marine animals, giving it the grotesque title “Embryons desschs” (Desiccated Embryos).
The notation without barlines, the ‘stories’ beneath the music and the spoofsof well-known pieces of music, most strikingly the Funeral March from Chopin’s Piano “Sonata in B-flat minor”, make the work a barrel of musical fun.

This Urtext edition faithfully adheres to the sources and reflects the latest findings of Satie scholarship. It contains translations of all of Satie’s French texts, practical page-turns, notes on performance practice by Satie specialist Steffen Schleiermacher and an informative Foreword.
The pieces range from an easy to moderate level of difficulty and provide an ideal additional varied repertoire for teaching purposes.

The new Finer in Minor With beautiful, easy to moderately difficult, familiar and above all not so familiar pieces, our bestseller Finer in Minor has now been a companion for many generations on their way to the wonderful works of major piano literature. In the meantime, the sister edition Greater in Major (EB 8936) expands the sound palette, showing that playing the piano in a major key is, of course, just as beautiful as playing in a minor key! In the course of preparing it, the desire for freshness and renewal of the well-established minor-key edition developed. Editors and publishing house finally gave in and decided on a revised and expanded new edition. The outer appearance has been adapted to its major-key twin, and inside the edition, things look new and different, too. New composers and even more pieces expand the range of minor-key music to include new worlds of sound and feeling. Thus, playing the piano is simply great - with Greater in Major and Finer in Minor ! Voices to the 1st edition: It is a good collection of easy pieces and well edited. (Music Teacher) The publisher began with a novel idea and invested their faith in its success by producing a bright, colorful album that will easily catch the eye of the potential buyer. (Trevor Barnard, Music Teacher)

Interstellar Audio Machines. Guitar Pedal. Hal Leonard #IAMMOV2.0. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.1458137).

Introducing the Marsling Octafuzzdrive – a pedal as distinctive as its sound. The Beings at IAM take a modern spin on the discontinued '70s era fOXX, enhanced with two interstellar modifications. First, the octave-up effect is now at your feet, offering on-the-fly versatility with a footswitch. Additionally, a tone control toggle switch has been incorporated, empowering players to select from three unique tonal profiles. The Marsling stands out as the epitome of versatility within the Interstellar galaxy. The Marsling Octafuzzdrive is a recreation of the fOXX Tone Machine, first released in 1971 and discontinued in 1978. The Tone Machine is a thick fuzz that uses a phase spliter and complementary rectifier to create an octave overtone. The Tone Machine has a lot in common with the Fender Blender, but with a more pronounced octave and smoother tone, as well as the ability to disable the octave by turning off half of the phase splitter. And the tone is not unlike the Superfuzz, although it uses a different method of octave generation to get there. The Marsling is faithful to the original, but with two added modifications. First, the octave switch for octave up is on a footswitch for on and off capabilities instead of a toggle switch. The second modification is the tone control. The tone control of the original is somewhat similar to the Big Muff, but many people find it's difficult to get good sounds from the treble side of the rotation. By increasing the value of the treble-side tone capacitor, it improves the usability. A switch has been added to let you choose between two different capacitors in addition to the original.

SATB Choir (Mixed choir (SATB)) - Level 3

SKU: BA.BA08521

Composed by Marten Jansson. Stapled. Choral score. 14 pages. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA08521_00. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA08521).

ISBN 9790006563203. 27 x 19 cm inches. Key: E-flat minor. Text Language: Latin.

The “Missa brevis in E flat minor” for mixed choir a cappella has been composed in the tradition of the short Mass (without Credo) and can be easily managed by most choirs. Thanks to its conciseness, it is suitable for use in church services, while its delightful harmonic layout and consciously simple melodies (with clear allusions to folk music) also make it perfect for concert performance.

†œMy music is my own and I have never tried to be original. That has always been my motto and I have only tried to use music to express all the feelings which life has to offer. This has led people to describe my music as ‘so sad that it sounds like birds who have lost their wings’ but also as ‘the happiest classical music that we have ever heard‘.
My compositions are almost all sacred. They express not only my own faith but also my appreciation and respect for the timeless texts that have been used for centuries and centuries.“

Mårten Jansson (b. 1965), elected member of the Föreningen svenska tonsättare (the Society of Swedish Composers), graduated from the Royal College of Music, Stockholm (KHM) with an MFA degree in Music Education, Dalcroze Eurhythmics and Voice. For more than ten years he was the music director and conductor of “Carmen”, one of the most prominent womens’ vocal ensembles in Sweden. He currently teaches choral conducting and music theory as well as giving vocal tuition at the Bolandgymnasiet and Musikskolan in his home town of Uppsala.

The atmospheric cycle “Avant-dernières Penses” (Next-to-last Thoughts) of 1915, with its underlaid words, likewise belongs to Satie’s ‘story pieces’.
The curious performance instructions in these three miniatures, all based on ostinato figures, amusingly lampoon the ideal of Romantic expressiveness.

Th is Urtext edition faithfully adheres to the sources and reflects the latest findings of Satie scholarship. It contains translations of all of Satie’s French texts, practical page-turns, notes on performance practice by Satie specialist Steffen Schleiermacher and an informative Foreword.

For Flute, Guitar, And String Quartet. Composed by David Leisner. Premiered at the Ravinia Festival, Chicago, Cavatina Duo and the Avalon String Quartet. Contemporary. Score. With Standard notation. Composed 2015. 54 pages. Duration 17 minutes. Theodore Presser Company #144-40686S. Published by Theodore Presser Company (PR.14440686S).

Flute and guitar duo, along with string quartet, perform three movements based on Sephardic folk songs. The common theme is love just out of reach: the sad hope of finding love, the unrequited love for an older woman, the spurned love of the unfaithful (Searching, rejection, and loss, as Leisner says). The relevant folk songs are stated within each of the pieces - at the beginning of the first, in the middle of the second, at the end of the third, and are used as the base for Leisner's stream-of-conciousness meditations..

Mixed choir (SSAATTBB) - Level 4

ISBN 9790006559183. 27 x 19 cm inches. Text Language: Latin.

Based on the well-known bible text “Sing unto the Lord a new song” (Psalm 96:1-3), this upbeat composition with strong dynamics and flowing block chords alternating with fast-paced polyphony brings across this joyful message and enthuses singers.

Originall y conceived for male choir, women’s voices have now been added so that this version for mixed choir presents a further dimension of colour. This version also makes it possible to divide the choir into two groups, one for women and another for men, and to have them sing either together or as separate units.

The version for mixed choir was premiered in Uppsala Cathedral (Sweden) on 26 October 2013, with the Uppsala Cathedral Singers conducted by Ulric Andersson.

“ My music is my own and I have never tried to be original. That has always been my motto and I have only tried to use music to express all the feelings which life has to offer. This has led people to describe my music as ‘so sad that it sounds like birds who have lost their wings‘ but also as ‘the happiest classical music that we have ever heard’.

UPC: 748769410011. Text by Rabbi Ruth Sohn.

Inspired by the empowering poem by Rabbi Ruth Sohn, this piece for SSA choir with piano describes the journey of a young woman who finds bravery amid uncertainty and fear. Middle Eastern harmonies paint an expansive desert landscape, while the voices search for faith and risk taking the first step, ultimately conquering fear to find the song in my heart. Soaring melodies and choral rhythms that create a delicious tension against the piano accompaniment make this a wonderful choice for mature treble choirs.
