This is that special piece for your special choir: a tonal, a cappella, double chorus tour de force of minimalist techniques that sounds like...the desert!

Solo piano - Intermediate

SKU: FJ.H1024

Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Edited by Edwin Mclean. Keyboard Catalog Heading; Masterworks. FJH Classic Editions. Form: Suite. Baroque; Masterwork; Recital. Book. The FJH Music Company Inc #98-H1024. Published by The FJH Music Company Inc (FJ.H1024).

ISBN 9781619283480. UPC: 241444437070. English.

In 1725, J.S. Bach gave his second wife, Anna Magdalena, a Notenbüchlein - a collection of solo keyboard pieces and arias. Most of the keyboard pieces were composed by friends, colleagues, and his son, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. The easier keyboard works were probably used to instruct their children, while the arias would have been performed by Anna Magdalena, who was a singer. For this edition, Edwin McLean has chosen and expertly edited the most popular and easier keyboard pieces. Originally, the pieces contained no dynamics and virtually no phrasing, which is typical of baroque harpsichord music and even early 18th-century fortepiano music. Sectional dynamics have been added editorially and may be changed at the discretion of the performer. A minimal amount of phrasing and articulation has also been added for clarity. This edition preserves the original notation for appoggiaturas, where small eighth or quarter notes resolve to the principal note. Ossias have been included to show how to play them; ossias also appear when needed for ornaments such as trills and mordents.

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 2.5

SKU: BT.AMP-034-010

Composed by Max Reger. Arranged by Philip Sparke. Ceremonial Series. Hymns & Chorals. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2003. Anglo Music Press #AMP 034-010. Published by Anglo Music Press (BT.AMP-034-010).

During his short lifetime Max Reger (1873-1916) was a prolific composer with many of his best known works being composed for organ. The ten chorale preludes in this selection are from his set of Thirty Short Chorale Preludes Op.135a composed as short voluntaries for liturgical use rather than for recitals in these arrangements Philip Sparke has kept this in mind and each prelude can be performed with minimal instrumentation for those occasions where a small band is needed. They also make great pieces for band warm-ups or studies in intonation, sound and balance.

Max Reger (1873-1916) is de componist van 30 Koraalbewerkingen, op. 135a voor orgel. Hieruit stammen deze tien preludes. Eigenlijk waren ze bedoeld als vrij muzikaal intermezzo binnen de kerkelijke muziek. En ook met dit arrangementvoor blaasorkest houdt Philip Sparke rekening met dit oorspronkelijke doel. Hij maakte ze speelbaar voor een minimale bezetting zodat u ze ook met een klein ensemble tijdens de kerkdienst kunnen uitvoeren. Verder zijn ze ook bijzondergeschikt als opwarmstuk en als stem-, klank- of balansoefening. Bovendien kunt u ze als kleine suite gebruiken in een concertprogramma. Veelzijdig!

Max Reger komponierte eine Fülle an Werken vieler Genres. Unter anderem schrieb er 30 kleine Vorspiele zu den gebräuchlichsten Chorälen für Orgel, die mehr als für den liturgischen Rahmen, denn als Vortragsstücke gedacht waren. Seine Blasorchesterbearbeitung dieser zehn Präludien machte Philip Sparke daher für eine minimale Besetzung spielbar, so dass sie auch Gottesdienst verwendet werden können. Außerdem eignen sie sich auch hervorragend als Aufwärmstücke, Stimm-, Klang- oder Balanceübungen oder in verschiedenen Zusammenstellungen als kleine Suiten für den Konzertgebrauch. Eine vielseitige Sammlung, die in keinem Repertoire fehlen sollte!

Max Reger (1873-1916) a composé les 30 petits Préludes de choral pour orgue, op. 135a, dont sont extraits les dix préludes choisis pour cet arrangement pour orchestre d’harmonie. Philip Sparke est resté fidèle aux pièces originales. Le choix de l’instrumentation permet d’interpréter ces dix préludes avec une formation effectif réduit qui peut être amenée participer un office. Ces pièces peuvent également être utilisées pour effectuer une mise en lèvres ou pour travailler l’intonation, le son et l’équilibre entre les différents pupitres.

Nella sua breve vita Max Reger (1873-1916) fu un compositore molto prolifico noto per le sue composizioni per organo. Le dieci corali arrangiate da Philip Sparke fanno parte de Thirty Short Chorale Preludes Op. 135a, composte per uso liturgico piuttosto che recitativo. Questo arrangiamento tiene conto del fatto che ogni preludio può essere eseguito con una strumentazione minima. Dieci pezzi ideali anche come riscaldamento, studio dell’intonazione e del suono.

Orchestra String Orchestra - Grade 2-2.5

SKU: CF.YAS52

Composed by Sean O'Loughlin. Carl Fischer Young String Orchestra Series. Classical. Score and Parts. With Standard notation. 12 pages. Carl Fischer Music #YAS52. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.YAS52).

ISBN 9780825863608. UPC: 798408063603. 8.5 X 11 inches. Key: D major.

This is a striking and original piece that builds interest and momentum using a four note cello and bass ostinato. Arco and pizzicato contrasts of texture and off-beat accents and rhythms sustain interest in this unusual selection, which puts minimal musical resources to maximum use.
A Road Less Traveled is a musical journey based on four notes. The cellos and basses provide these notes in mm. 2 and 3. The piece explores some new compositional techniques for me, and in some sections can be considered minimalist. However, I constructed the piece in a very accessible manner. The individual rhythms create new composite rhythms when played together. It has a unique clockwork quality to it. The music morphs from arco to pizzicato at m. 49. The odd accents bring out some of the quirky quality to the music. A return to arco playing at m. 94 provides a recapitulation of the opening section. Upon return, some of the punchy music now becomes sustained for a dramatic climax. This piece was a real joy to work on, and illustrates “a road less traveled” in my compositional career.
