A pioneer of Finnish modern jazz, Heikki Sarmanto (1939-) is renowned for his renderings of jazz numbers. No wonder, therefore, that broken chords and familiar keys resonate and sit well under the hand in the piano part of this Northern Dreams suite. The solo passages for the piano are like stylised improvisations. In addition to jazz idioms, the suite features Chopin-style arpeggios. His music is melodic and communicative, painting feelings, situations and events. Northern Dreams was originally composed with the tenor sax of Juhani Aaltonen in mind, and the solo part is a transcription of his improvisation. The solo part is also available in arrangements for alto sax, flute, clarinet, bassoon and trumpet.

Bassoon and Piano

Unusually for him, Davies starts his Bassoon Concerto not with slow music but with speed and brilliance: the opening is a Presto, initiated by the strings, and only at the entry of the soloist does the tempo relax to that of a real introduction. Out of this grow a big dancing Allegro. The slow movement begins and ends with a simple song, around fantastical ornamentation from the soloist. The finale is again a recitative and dance, with a slow coda. The whole work is an immense show of stamina, poetry and athleticism for the bassoon, set against an orchestra coloured by low wind (alto flute, clarinet in A, bass clarinet, contrabassoon, horns). Bassoon part with piano reduction of the orchestral score.

Wit, warmth, charm, beautiful melody, vivacity; all of these, and more are abundantly evident. No wonder Jeuz d'enfants has been rated as a little masterpiece. Each of the three included movements is complete within itself and playable separately; together the contrasting styles and moods create an attractive Concert Suite.

Jeuz d'enfants was originally written in 1871 as a Suite of twelve pieces for piano duet. Two years later, Bizet scored five of the pieces for orchestra to create a Petite Suite. Each movement shows Bizet's enormous skill as a miniaturist, the music exuding a concentration of power and atmosphere. Wit, warmth, charm, beautiful melody, vivacity; all of these, and more are abundantly evident. No wonder Jeuz d'enfants has been rated as a little masterpiece. Three of the movements are included in this arrangement. Each is complete within itself and playable separately; together the contrasting styles and moods create an attractive Concert Suite. 1) Marche - Trompette and Tambour (Trumpet and Drum) 2) Duo - Petit Mari, Petite Femme (Little Husband, Little Wife) 3) Galop - Le Bal (The Ball).

Most well-known and generally popular - that's what the Happy Birthday meals served by Claus-Dieter Ludwig are. Meanwhile, they are available in various instrumentations (for piano solo and piano duet, accordion duo, string quartet, piano trio). Now, Andreas Tarkmann has rearranged the work, and it's the wind instrument players' turn to be invited to the buffet - we beg your pardon, to come into their own as gourmets! Flute, oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon enjoy five entertaining variations on the famous birthday song into which other music titles have been sneaked as well: 'Andante festivo e culinario', 'Lento lasagne e lambrusco', 'Marcia marsala e mozzarella', 'Valzero vongole e vaniglia', and the crowning dessert, a fiery 'Tango tartufo e tagliatelle'!
