Par GULKE PETER. Peter Gülke widmet sich in 54 Essays dem großen Thema Tod und Abschied in der Musik, aber auch in der Literatur. Mit unnachahmlicher Sprachkraft präsentiert er Erkenntnisse, die von allgemeinem Interesse und bedeutend für den kulturellen Diskurs über Tod und Vergänglichkeit sind. Musik ist als diejenige unter den Künsten charakterisiert worden, die in besonderer Weise von Vergänglichkeit und Tod spricht. Wie aber tut sie das? Peter Gülke gibt darauf vielfältige Antworten. Aus dem Inhalt: - Wieviel Totentanz ist in überlang dahinwirbelnden Finali bei Mozart und Schubert enthalten? - Warum bekommen Tristan und Isolde nicht den Liebestod, den sie so überwältigend besungen haben? - Warum fällt Musik bei Nennung des Todes in einen harmonischen Abgrund? - Wie gehen Komponisten mit den Grausamkeiten der „Dies-irae'-Sequenz um? - Wie gedenken Komponisten verstorbener Kollegen? - Welche Erfahrungen liegen der Todesmystik in Bachs frühen Kantaten zugrunde? - Warum muten etliche Schlusspassagen bedeutender Romane wie insgeheim von Musik unterlegt an? Peter Gülke ist Träger des Ernst von Siemens Musikpreises und des Sigmund Freud-Preises für wissenschaftliche Prosa. Er ist Dirigent, Musikwissenschaftler und Musikschriftsteller./ Livre / Livre

Jazz Play-Along Vol.116. 2 CDs and book. What do you play when you have one chord for 8 or 16 bars? The Modal Jazz era presented new challenges for improvisers, spawning a fruitful period rich in new ideas, concepts, and harmonic exploration. This play-a-long includes several 'Standard' forms and important practice tracks; many of which are 'period accurate' and others which are stylistically more contemporary. These practice tracks are designed to foster understanding, facility and familiarity. Many of the first tracks are slow, making them perfect for beginners. Intermediate and advanced players will enjoy the opportunity to doubletime and experiment with an endless array of chord/scalesubstitutions over the otherwise simple tracks. / Niveau : Débutant / Méthode en anglais / Méthode / Tout Instrument

Par LIEBMAN DAVID. Each volume of this unique jazz improvisation method includes: State of the art recordings (multi-track digital), recorded in the excellent Bauer Studios, where many of the productions for the record label ECM have been done, and in the Skyline Studios in New York City. Each set contains six complete performances, including opening and closing theme statements, improvised solos and six play-along tracks which feature the rhythm section without soloist. Many performances use the original arrangements from classic jazz recordings (So What, Equinox, A Night In Tunisia, 'Round Midnight, Con Alma, Webb City, Joshua etc.). Because the complete performances were approached as in a professional recording session the play-along versions sound fresh and spontaneous, with much interaction between the rhythm section instruments and the soloists. Piano and bass are clearly separated. Book with helpful commentary and analysis of each recorded performance in English, français and deutsch. Transcribed solos: Each book contains at least one complete solo transcription, many excerpts from other solos (piano and bass solos as well as horn and guitar solos are included) plus appropriate chord/scale information, including modes of the major, harmonic minor, melodic minor and symmetrical scales. Individual instrumental parts in C, B flat, E flat and bass clef: The detachable instrumental parts are extremely practical for both classroom and professional use. Completely notated piano and bass parts: Volume 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8 contain detachable piano (or guitar) and bass parts for all six compositions, volume 3 on 3 tunes (A Night In Tunisia, 'Round Midnight and Embraceable You). Transcribed excerpts from piano and bass accompaniments: Excerpts from piano and bass accompaniments have been selected in order to illustrate the most important techniques for developing accompaniments on these instruments. This includes piano chord voicings, harmonic substitution and embellishment, developing bass lines, interaction with other instruments, etc./ Recueil / Tout Instrument
