For solo violin. Composed by Kenneth Hesketh. This edition: Saddle stitching. Sheet music. String Solo. Book only. Composed 2005. 16 pages. Duration 12'. Schott Music #ED 12878. Published by Schott Music (HL.49017065).

ISBN 9790220130571. 9.0x12.0x0.052 inches.

Taking his starting point from 17th century philosopher-poet Cyrano de Bergerac's 'Grandes Plaines du Jour', Hesketh powerfully fuses a huge range of performing and compositional techniques into this 12 minute work for solo violin. Inspired by Bergerac's imaginations of other worlds and utopian societies, the work explores extreme ranges and timbres whilst using techniques such as left hand pizzicato and natural harmonics. Open-fifth material, which is natural to the instrument, is prominent and short duets alternating between arco and pizzicato figures add yet another dimension.

Oratorio in three acts. Composed by George Frideric Handel. Edited by Kenneth Nott. This edition: complete edition, urtext edition. Linen. Halle Handel Edition (HHA) Series I, Volume 30. Complete edition, Score. HWV 70. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA04014_00. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA04014).

ISBN 9790006442935. 33 x 26 cm inches. Text Language: English. Preface: Nott, Kenneth. Text: Thomas Morell.

“Jephtha� �� is Handel’s last oratorio. Handel had to break off from composing several times because of his increasing blindness in 1751. The first performance at the Covent Garden Theatre in February 1752 was the last performance he conducted before he went completely blind.
In “Jephtha”, Handel succeeded in achieving the perfect fusion between a biblical plot and the spirit of classical tragedy. With great intensity and dramatic expression he highlighted in particular the fates of Jephtha and Iphis , thereby portraying convincing and complex characters.

The chorus “How Dark, O Lord, are Thy Decrees” at the end of part two is of crucial importance in the work and is regarded as the dramatic high point of the oratorio.

The vocal score is based on volume I/30 of the “Halle Handel Edition” (BA 4014), which contains the complete critical version of the music of the oratorio for the first time.

‘Once again the French musicologist Denis Herlin, who mastered the harpsichord under the tutelage of such keyboard legends as Kenneth Gilbert and Huguette Dreyfus, has presented an exemplary edition of a classic from the harpsichord repertoire.’ (Jury of the German Music Edition Prize on BA 10844)

Bärenreite r presents Book II of Couperin’s “Pièces de clavecin”, first published in 1717, In addition the eight preludes and one allemande from his treatise “L’Art de toucher le clavecin” are included in the appendix. For the first time Denis Herlin has evaluated the many later impressions of the original print, most of which he unearthed himself in international libraries. By preserving the essential features of the original print while largely dispensing with disruptive page-turns within the pieces, the volume brings modern performers close to the special sound of this music. Rounding off this pioneering new edition are an extensive Foreword, notes on historical performance practice, a comprehensive glossary, facsimile pages and a detailed Critical Commentary.

Piano (Piano Solo) - difficult

SKU: HL.49018675

For piano solo. Composed by Kenneth Hesketh. This edition: Saddle stitching. Sheet music. Piano Solo. Composed 2008. 12 pages. Duration 5'. Schott Music #ED13393. Published by Schott Music (HL.49018675).

ISBN 9790220132599. 9.0x12.0x0.068 inches.

The title of this work is a reference to the poem Ode to a Nightingale by John Keats. Important images from the poem are freely connected to suggest musical gestures and contours. Such phrases as perilous seas and plaintive anthem placed musically alongside each other give the work a continuity not suggested by the original poem. The topography in the last verse of the poem also finds its way into the work: Past the near meadows, over the still stream, Up the hill-side; and now 'tis buried deep The resulting work therefore utilises an organic and associative musical form, one that is dramatic and often capricious in nature. The work evaporates at its close - at Keats' instigation - through the words Fled is that music:- do I wake or sleep?. Through Magic Casements was written for William Cale on the occasion of his final recital at the Royal College of Music. 2009 KH.
