Composed by Bonnie Duckworth. Paraclete Press #PPMO 1907IP. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.PPMO-1907IP).

Duckworth begins her noble piece with brass fanfares that lead to a grand choral entrance. Mostly homophonic, the setting alternates brass and choir with a fine organ accompaniment. Great for Easter and festivals.

German title: Nun Komm Der Heiden Heiland Ii. Sacred vocal music, Cantatas, Advent, Christmas. Choral Score. Composed 1724. BWV 62. 4 pages. Duration 23 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 31.062/05.

Bach's second cantata starting with the text Come now, God's chosen saviour (II) BWV 62 was first performed in 1724 on the 1st Advent Sunday (which, at that time, was the only Advent Sunday with church music in Leipzig) and belongs to the annual cycle of chorale cantatas. As was usual for chorale cantatas, the unknown librettist used the first and last verses of Martin Luther's hymn verbatim for the opening chorus and the concluding chorale but adapted the texts of the inner verses. After two contrasting arias - the one dance-like, the second almost heroic - an almost enraptured accompagnato (Wir ehren diese Herrlichtkeit, und nahen nun zu deiner Krippen), in which the soprano and contralto mostly sing in parallel thirds and sixths, leads to a simple concluding chorale. Score available separately - see item CA.3106200.

â??This is a composition in one movement, about 12 minutes long. I named it '...into the light' because its texure, placed mostly in the low or middle range of the instruments, is coming at the end to the most ethereal and luminous sounds of their registers. The premiere took place on 12st of May [2018] in Tbilisi, played by Javad Javadzade [double bass] and his wife Adel Javadzade (piano).â? Dmitri Smirnov.

Inspired by the alluring, human-like sound of the Ney (a Persian bamboo flute), Ranjbaran aims not only to highlight the modern flutist’s ability to play agile and brilliant passages, but also to emulate the delicate sound of the Ney, particularly in extended solo passages. The three-movement 27-minute concerto was commissioned by the Philadelphia Orchestra for its principal flutist Jeffrey Khaner. The piano reduction (published separately) was designed by the composer to be practical in recital performances. CONCERTO for Flute and Orchestra has been recorded for Naxos by Érik Gratton with the Nashville Symphony conducted by Giancarlo Guerrero.
The melancholic tone of the Ney (the Persian bamboo flute) is known for its alluring sound, emulating the human voice.  In Persian literature, the Ney is considered a mystic instrument capable of expressing deep human emotions.In writing my flute concerto, I aimed not only to highlight the modern flautist’s ability to play agile and brilliant passages but also to emulate the delicate sound of the Ney, particularly in extended solo flute passages.Two prominent characters permeate the first movement of my concerto.  They are marked in the score as lamentoso, and con spirito, expressing grief and loss, and joy of living respectively.  The lament is mostly expressed in several extended cadenzas for solo flute while the con spirito consists of robust and energetic fast sections played by all forces of the orchestra.  Apart from these two characters there are moments of mystery, comedy and the grotesque, among others.In the second movement, the lyrical and poetic character of the flute is prominently presented in dream-like passages surrounded by shimmering and tender orchestral colors.  The solo flute is left out in an agitated middle section that references the first movement.  In the third section of the movement the solo flute returns in meditative fashion culminating in a duet with the harp.The third movement is written as one continuous quasi scherzo, challenging the limits of agility and brilliance of the flute.  Some of the materials from the earlier movements are presented again with joyous character.  The coda elevates the concerto into its brightest and most festive character, driving to the end with relentless energy.

Composed by Marc Douyon. Edited by Howard J. Buss. RECUERDOS DE ESPANA Memories of Spain for solo piano was inspired by the very diverse music of Spain. 21st Century. Score. Duration 7'25. Brixton Publications #B150. Published by Brixton Publications (B7.B150).

8.5x11 inches.

RECUERDOS DE ESPANA Memories of Spain for solo piano by Marc Douyon was inspired by the very diverse music of Spain. This colorful and engaging work uses a triplet rhythm that prevails throughout much of the composition. The music starts with an ambiguity of keys between major and minor, and subsequently travels to different keys. The first two sections are military-like, and feature the melody mostly in the left hand. The middle section is relatively calm with melodic fragments played over an ostinato-like figure in a sequential fashion. The fourth section features idiomatic Spanish rhythms reminiscent of the Andalusian region of Spain. Here, melodic fragments are played over a relentless bass accompaniment.

The text of the piece was inspired by a conviction that the deepest meanings of Advent/Christmas are alive and meaningful throughout the year. At the heart, the text is a prayer. Musically, the piece affords a great opportunity for each voice section to take turns sharing the melody. Though mostly homophonic, a countermelody is introduced first by the piano, and then reappears in the alto line midway through the piece, providing a nice contrast both texturally and lyrically. The piece builds to a dramatic climax in the final verse, and then scales back down for a contemplative finish. This piece works especially well in the season of Advent and Christmas, though it's themes resonate and would be appropriate throughout the church liturgical year.

Thr ough attractive simplicity and a beautiful line, this brief setting of the Aaronic blessing is a great alternative to other, older settings of the text—especially when the total number of tenor-bass singers in your choir is considerably less than that of the sopranos and altos. The two parts sing in octaves mostly, with just a hint of a canon in the final measures.

The arrangement of this American folk tune—which has had such disparate pairings as “What Wondrous Love Is This” and texts dealing with politics—is beautifully handled here by van den Honert. Starting with sopranos only, the other voices are gradually mixed in as the piece progresses. Once everyone is in, a mostly canonic verse is followed by a full-bodied section that ebbs away until the piece ends almost as it began, with sopranos on the melody above a simple hum in the other voices.

Practica l Harmony is a monumental anthology in four volumes comprising nearly two hundred compositions by Italian, German, English and Austrian composers chosen by Clementi in his combined role of editor and, in some cases, arranger. Above all, the double and self-evident destination for organ and piano, in itself not new but nevertheless not so frequent, since it deals with a choice of compositions mostly concerning the so-called stile osservato. The name of each instrument is printed on the same line and in the same font. If then, we add to this that an appropriate number of pieces is taken from what can more correctly be called the harpsichord repertoire, the anthology acquires what could be described as a distinctive and even more interesting ‘keyboard eclecticism’.
