Duo Concertante, Op. 351 by Darius Milhaud was composed in 1956 for the Paris Conservatoire Contest. Many influences can be recognised in this piece: from the Provence where he was born, to jazz and other melodies of SouthAmerica. Lasting approximately 7 minutes, Duo Concertante, Op. 351 is started by a fanfare with a strong energy reminiscent of the South of France, followed by a simple and moderate clarinet partly joined by piano chords. Theinitial theme is then repeated one last time for the finale. Darius Milhaud (1892-1974) was a French modernist composer and a teacher. He was also part of the Les Six and was strongly influenced by Jazz. His opus list ended at443.

Second of the series of _x001A_Four Faces_x001A_ by Darius Milhaud, II. The Wisconsonian is a short piece for Alto and Piano.

She is part of the four faces with: I. The Californian girl, II. The Wisconsonian and IV. The Parisian girl. Darius Milhaud (1892-1974) was a French modernist composer and a teacher.

New edition of this enigmatic, single-movement work for full orchestra lasting 13 minutes and dating from the early-1930s. In his preface, Gerard McBurney comments that, Despite the music's modernist surface, the Chant symphonique's 'three closely integrated movements' correspond rather neatly to a traditional sonata-form exposition, development and recapitulation. There is even an overall tonality of sorts - D major. But 'parts', 'moods', keys and cadences are all subjected in this unusual work to tremendous pressure and distortion, so that we quickly begin to suspect that something other, different and more mysterious, is really going on here..

The title Par-feshani-ye 'Eshq translates, in English, to The Fluttering Wings Of Love and was taken from a text by the 18th century Sufi poet Bidel . Each brief movement takes a couplet from the poem as inspiration, drawing on an extraordinary array of images of clay pots on waterwheels, a nightingale’s fluttering wings, weighty fetters links and the world’s garden roses. The work is dedicated to friends Renée Reznek and Bruce Wannell. Bruce introduced Harrison to the poetry of Bidel and Renée had the privilege of performing the piece on its premiere performance. Australian born freelance composer and performer Sadie Harrison ’s unique fusion of elements from indigenousLithuanian music and poetry with her own modernist, often abrasive, style have led her to be compared with Bartok, but with her own warmth and grandeur. Since 2012 Harrison has been working alongside a long list of well accomplished musicians; Paul Carey, Peter Sheppard Skaerved, Sergej Okrushko, Alex South, Duncan Honeybourne are among many who have had the privilege work with Harrison so far. Performances of Harrison 's works have been given across the world by Lontano, London Chamber Symphony, Music Projects/ London, Ixion, Okeanos, Bournemouth Sinfonietta, Kokoro and the St. Christopherus Chamber Orchestra, and many others.

Lowel l Liebermann's 4th String Quartet was commissioned by the Canandaigua Lake Chamber Music Festival and the Wood Library, Canandaigua, NY, for the Orion Quartet in celebration of their 20th Anniversary. The quartet was premiered by the Orions at the Canandaigua Lake Chamber Music Festival in Rochester, NY on February 9th, 2008. To quote the writer Mark Greenberg: It's a remarkable piece. The mood is elegiacal and meditative, the melodic lines sinuous and searching, the harmonies rich and astonishingly beautiful. Liebermann works within the traditions of Western tonality, but that is a mansion with many rooms. Liebermann inhabits all of them as his expressive purposes require, and he doesn't mind knocking down a wall to create new harmonic spaces. The Fourth Quartet doesn't exactly fit the neoromantic niche into which Liebermann is sometimes placed. Much of the music, especially near the beginning, is a highly advanced and fluid chromatic expressionism with modernist tendencies. Sometimes this roiling cloudscape breaks open to allow a patch of near-classical harmony and almost-resolution. Near the midpoint the clouds lift in leaping modulations. Several chordal passages recall Russian Orthodox chant. Suddenly, when you've begun to think the somber, deliberate pace has gone on a bit too long, Liebermann introduces a kind of hobbled, stilted jazz idiom. The piece dies in pensive quiet.

Prelude to the Tempest Op.109 No.1 comes from an hour-long score of incidental music for orchestra by Danish composer, Jean Sibelius. In 1925 Sibelius was commissioned by the Danish Royal Theatre to create incidental music for Shakespeare's The Tempest. The resulting 34 miniatures represent Sibelius at his most modernistic and it is both rousing and powerful yet elsewhere light, gentle and airy, fully reflecting the breadth and depth of Shakespeare's characters.

Seguendo la linea già_x001A_ tracciata nei primi due volumi, La chitarra di Dulcita e Pepito 3 conclude un ciclo finalizzato allâ??acquisizione da parte dellâ??allievo di un bagaglio musicale e tecnico di base che gli permetterà, in seguito, di affrontare con apertura e disinvoltura repertori più specifici e di livello più avanzato.
In questo terzo volume la mano sinistra si spinge fino al XII tasto, gli spostamenti della stessa sono più ampi e la scelta dei brani privilegia lo sviluppo della cantabilità_x001A_ e_x001A_delle sfumature espressive parallelamente a una più_x001A_ consapevole esplorazione della tastiera.
Il livello di difficoltà delle musiche è in linea di massima progressivo anche se, di tanto in tanto, qualche brano più_x001A_facile segue volutamente dei brani più_x001A_impegnativi per stemperare la sensazione di percorso _x001A_tutto in salita_x001A__x001A_e permettere_x001A_all_x001 A_allievo di acquisire padronanza dello strumento e sicurezza dei propri mezzi espressivi. Pur restando circoscritte al sistema_x001A_tonale, le sonorità_x001A_ sono piuttosto varie e contengono tocchi di modernità.
Così come avviene nei due volumi di primo e di secondo livello, La chitarra di Dulcita e Pepito 3 contiene anche specifici esercizi di tecnica e molti duetti nei quali le_x001A_due parti presentano livelli_x001A_ di difficoltà perlopiù_x001A_ simili e_x001A_ quindi possono, anzi dovrebbero, essere studiate e suonate entrambe dallâ??allievo.
Paral lelamente allo studio di questo volume,_x001A_è possibile ampliare il repertorio e approfondire la conoscenza dei diversi stili attraverso le antologie della collana Ciao Chitarra!!! dedicate al Rinascimento, al Barocco, al periodo classico-romantico, a quello contemporaneo e alla musica extraeuropea.
