These sounds are expressive and contextually meaningful but are rarely used in student-level orchestra music. In (De)composition, the extended techniques are essential to the overall sound and structure.

3 Songs for Women's Choir. Composed by Peteris Vasks. This edition: Saddle stitching. Sheet music. Choral. Classical. Softcover. Composed 1979-1988. 24 pages. Duration 12'. Schott Music #C53589. Published by Schott Music (HL.49017958).

Peteris Vasks' strong attachment to his Latvian home country shows particularly in his choral music. Nature, customs and traditions as well as the idea of freedom are the central themes of the texts he sets to music, while carefully using modern techniques of choral singing as well. Alternating with traditional, even archaic singing, the music creates a multi-faceted, immediately effective sound image in the listener's mind.These three songs for female choir centre on the themes of man, nature and transience, and home in aphoristic brevity. Vasks wrote music on these folk poems which contains rewarding tasks for the choir and opens up a fascinating world of sound to the listener.

ISBN 9781554409013.

C arefully selected and curated to support teachers and students in their artistic and technical development, the Violi n Series, 2021 Edition includes pieces from a diverse range of eras and styles that represent stepping stones to major violin repertoire. Each level is constructed to link repertoire selections to necessary techniques and corresponding etudes, while illustrating step-by-step connections for developing core skills. Each Reper toire book includes access to quality video and audio recordings by some of North America's finest violinists and accompanists; both performance and accompaniment-only tracks for each Reper toire selection offer students a model for performance practice and the convenience of accompanied rehearsal at home.

Violi n Preparatory Repertoire features student and teacher duets to promote listening skills and to provide an entry point into ensemble playing. This repertoire book for elementary-level students, distinguished by slow and fast tempos, is based on the foundational finger patterns of D major and A major, postural development, and bow division with legat o and stacc ato strokes. Special effects, such as tapping on the side of the violin and open-string pizzi cato, promote freedom of movement and encourage navigation of the fingerboard. Elementary rhythms are explored alongside supportive piano accompaniments within familiar time signatures. Featured composers include Violet Archer, Ludwig van Beethoven, Harold Birston, Frank Blachford, Jean Couthard, David Gordon Duke, Jean Ethridge, Joanne Martin, and Mary Alice Rich.
