Night is the result of a collaborative project between the composer and the 6th grade beginning band directed by his wife in Morton, Illinois. The students in her band class each write an eight-measure melody as a composition project which is part of the beginning band curriculum. These melodies each start and end on concert B-flat and use only the notes the students have learned on their instruments. The class voted on the best melody, and the winner was Majestic Night, Oh Winter Night by Sarah Gunter. The students then observed how this melody was developed by the composer into a concert band piece that they would perform later that year. Compositional terms such as repetition, fragmentation, and augmentation could then be taught to the 6th graders in a new piece for young band that was written just for them. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Compo sed as an organ solo by the 17-year-old Ives for his own performance purposes, the beloved Variations on America is a treat for any occasion, whether a holiday concert, a serious recital, or other special event. Danny Holt’s transcription for Piano, Four Hands adds a dazzling new option to play at home or on stage, taking best advantage of Ives’ tremendous contrasts in color, dynamics, and texture.
Composed when Charles Ives was a teenager, Variations on “America” is both a convenient introduction to Ives’ body of work, and an early example of his iconoclastic musical voice and creative genius. Just a few years after composing this piece, Ives would leave home to study music at Yale. But until then he had been taught by his father, George (who had been a bandmaster in the Civil War). George subjected the young Ives to experiments such as singing a song in one key while being accompanied in another, or arranging for two marching bands to converge on a town center, with the resulting cacophony that ensued.The Variations exemplifies an early period of experimentation in Ives’ work, spurred on by the unusual pedagogy of his father. The piece is particularly notable for its use of bitonality in the two interludes, subtly foreshadowing more well-known examples by Stravinsky, Bartók, and others by approximately two decades.The bitonal interludes were so ahead of their time, in fact, they were omitted from the first copy that was submitted to a publisher in 1892. (Alas, the piece was rejected even despite these “shocking” elements having been left out, and it wasn’t published until more than five decades later.) There is some ambiguity about when exactly Ives added the interludes into his manuscript copy, though ample evidence suggests he had performed the piece with the interludes around the time he notated the piece in 1891-92. In any case, in light of this piece and his other polytonal explorations from the last decade of the 19th century, it seems fair to give Ives credit for being a pioneer in this area!This arrangement for Piano, Four Hands, closely follows Ives’ original version for organ, setting aside William Schuman’s popular adaptation for symphony orchestra and William Rhoads’ band transcription of the Schuman orchestration. Pianists will find that the piece translates well to the instrument. Ideally, the choreography and logistics of elbow-to-elbow four-hands playing approximates the wild joy one gets from watching an organist play the piece (e.g., the elaborate pedal part in the final variation).In preparing this publication, attention was paid to details in the dual Critical Editions (Presser 443-41003) of both Ives’ manuscript edition and the 1949 publication edited by organist E. Power Biggs (who is credited with discovering what had been a long-lost, forgotten work.) But as with much of Ives’ output, attempting to create a true ‘urtext’ score is a futile endeavor, and especially with a piece such as this one – in which Ives incorporated improvisation in live performance – seems unnecessary anyhow. True die-hards are of course encouraged to consult the critical editions and even find inspiration in the orchestrated version. Generally, performers are advised to be wild, have fun, and not to be too rigid in their interpretive choices.Dynamics in this arrangement mostly follow the organ score closely. Pianists will use good judgment about pedaling throughout, which should be straightforward and intuitive. Courtesy accidentals have been provided frequently – without parentheses – balancing the need for extra clarity in the context of Ives’ murky musical language, and a desire to avoid unnecessary clutter.A few notes that might inform interpretive decisions:mm. 15-16: There are inconsistencies here between Ives’ original manuscript and the 1949 Biggs edition, regarding the top voice in m. 15, beat 3 (C# vs. Cn) and m. 16 (D Major vs. D Minor).mm. 76-84 & 143-146: In both Interludes, Ives emphatically notates extreme dynamic contrast, in order to highlight the bitonality. Although it may seem counterintuitive (or even a misprint, as has apparently been misconstrued by some), performers are urged to follow the composer’s marking!m. 109: Two-note slurs have been added here for clarity and consistency with other similar passages, though they do not appear in either the original manuscript or Biggs.m. 112: The last two eighth notes of Primo appear as 16ths in the original manuscript.mm. 183-186: The original manuscript has a slightly different bass line.mm. 184 & 186: Primo gestures have been re-written to be slightly more idiomatic for Piano, Four Hands.m. 186: The breath mark at the end of this bar does not appear in either the manuscript or Biggs, but is an editorial suggestion – aside from being appropriately dramatic, it will indeed be necessary in a reverberant hall!I would like to thank Steven Vanhauwaert, the other half of my piano duo, 4handsLA, for his input on early drafts of this arrangement.— Danny Holt, April 2022.

Scar let Letters was composed in 1984 on commission of the pianist and harpsichordist Franzpeter Goebels (1920-1988) on the occasion of the 300th birth day of Domenico Scarlatti. The original working title 'Lettere scarlattine' is a concealed homage to the Italian composer. The compositional material is limited to the tones D, E, C, Es (= S, spoken 'Es' = E flat in German notation) and A, derived from the musical letters of Domenico Scarlatti's name, and the tones B (= B flat in German nota tion) and H (= B natural), the initials of my name. With 7 tones and 7 parts, this music is a sort of story about my imaginary encounter with the composer Domenico Scarlatti who was then one of my favourite composers. Sometimes I also used compositional means which I discovered in the sonatas of Scarlatti, such as quick 6/8 figures, afterbeat octaves and repetitions of short motifs. I tried to translatethe clarity, brightness and cheerfulness, the astounding modulations and the pianistic brilliance of his music into my compositional language.Barbara HellerThe piece was recorded on CD by the American pianist Deborah Richards (WERGO 6610-02). First performance: 31. October 1987 International Festival of Women Composers, Unna; Rosario Marciano, piano.

La scelta di questo strumento come uno dei mezzi di conoscenza del linguaggio musicale (meglio sarebbe dire la sua riconferma, dato l’utilizzo assai frequente in molte scuole italiane), ha ragioni semplici e perciò tanto più convincenti: innanzi tutto il basso costo e un ingombro ed un peso minimi; in secondo luogo la facile comprensione e messa in pratica della tecnica d’uso oltre alla sua secolare tradizione ricca anche di repertorio originale; infine la possibilità dello strumento di costituire un valido sostegno all’intonazione e all’emissione vocale.
Per queste ragioni il testo presenta un breve itinerario, indispensabile al bambino per procedere con la lettura intonata e la tecnica strumentale.
Questo quaderno comprende un percorso graduale di avviamento allo strumento utilizzando il linguaggio tradizionale. Il lavoro qui raccolto ha come presupposto la consapevolezza di aver tralasciato quegli ambiti di espressione che non si avvalgono dei codici tradizionali, vale a dire quelle esperienze che presumono l’utilizzo e la conoscenza di repertori che si allontanano dal linguaggio tonale e che si esprimono attraverso altre grafie di codifica. In questa direzione il volume avrebbe avuto tutt’altra impostazione e, pur ribadendo l’importanza di un approfondimento dei terreni musicali meno battuti e della loro esplicitazione anche attraverso uno strumento forse poco flessibile ad esperienze di questo tipo (almeno per i principianti) come il flauto dolce, si è ritenuto di mettere a disposizione un itinerario strumentale che ha dalla sua una validità consolidata nel tempo.
Il repertorio, certamente non esaustivo, ha avuto come criteri di scelta quegli ambiti geografici e temporali che più hanno messo in evidenza le caratteristiche dello strumento. È per questo motivo che per i brani d’autore si è privilegiato l’ambito rinascimentale e barocco e per ciò che riguarda la provenienza geografica ci si è rivolti verso quelle tradizioni che hanno fatto del flauto uno strumento protagonista.
Per ciò che riguarda i brani d’insieme, ci preme sottolineare che le indicazioni degli strumenti non sono vincolanti poiché a tutti è nota la proverbiale carenza di attrezzature nelle scuole che impedisce l’utilizzo di diversi organici. Ogni insegnante si adatti quindi alle risorse che la scuola fornisce. Inoltre, le brevi strumentazioni dei brani proposti sono da considerarsi solo un supporto di completezza qualora si intenda dare forma più compiuta all’esecuzione. Il percorso, pertanto, può proseguire anche con la semplice esecuzione dei brani al flauto dolce senza il corredo delle elaborazioni per un organico più ampio.
Relativamente agli equilibri sonori e timbrici tra le parti, ogni insegnante li adatti in base al numero degli allievi delle proprie classi e degli strumenti disponibili. In linea generale è bene ricordare che, in fase esecutiva, una sufficiente intensità sonora si ottiene con almeno 5-6 flauti dolci, ma se il registro sale all’acuto possono essere sufficienti anche la metà. Un’utile strategia di lavoro può essere quella di decidere insieme agli allievi le possibilità di distribuzione numerica degli strumenti. Sostegno sempre indispensabile all’insegnante è uno strumento armonico (chitarra o pianoforte) utilizzato per accompagnare e sostenere le esecuzioni.
I brani qui raccolti serviranno di collegamento e supporto alle attività di esercitazione ritmica, melodica, armonica, vocale, di ascolto e di analisi delle forme, tutti temi approfonditi dagli altri quaderni della collana.

La Teoria Completa De La Musica en esta nueva edicion revisada, ha mantenido intactas todas aquellas cuestiones teorico-practicas que son inamovibles, al tiempo que conserva por su probada eficacia, su estructura tematica, lo que la convierte tantoen una obra de consulta como en una obra capaz de ser estructurada y adaptada tanto al curriculo de Conservatorios como al de las Escuelas de musica, sean estas regladas o no. Tampoco se ha olvidado al aficionado autodidacta, por lo que el lenguajeempleado procura ser directo, sin ambiguedades ni retoricas que dificulten su entendimiento. Como toda obra viva y en constante evolucion tambien se ha procurado revisar aquellosconceptos, definiciones, ejemplos, etc., susceptibles de modificacion,al tiempo que se han ampliado, incorporado y en algun caso modificado materias y apartados que asi lo requerian. Este libro aspira a cumplir el proposito que lo inspiro, es decir, facilitar los medios teoricos suficientes (dentro del limitado espaciode una obra de estas caracteristicas), que justifican y corroboran el fenomeno musical.
