The six collections of 'Vierstimmige Motetten und Arien' published by Johann Adam Hiller offer a selection of motets, mostly from the second half of the 18th century. They show us the products of a new age of achievement in which the motet was again able to flourish after this genre had led only a shadowlike existence for more than a century. The editor of those collections, Johann Adam Hiller, was active as a composer of Singspie, editor of various musical periodicals, leader of the Gewandhaus concerts, University Director of Music, musical director of the Neukirche, and finally, from 1789, Thomaskantor in Leipzig. Upon Hiller's assumption of the office of Thomaskantor theolder motets were replaced in Leipzig church services by contemporary compositions. Printed texts which have been preserved show that Hiller's collections were used widely. A Critical Report from the editor, Uwe Wolf, with additional information concerning the motets and their composers, will be published to cover all the collections. / Mottet / Répertoire / Choeur Mixte

The Piano is often mistakenly viewed as taking a secondary role to the guitar in the world of rock music, with the industry often favouring the eye-catching antics of a larger-than-life axe-weilding hero to the seated sincerity of the Piano. In the meantime, a new generation of bands and artists are correcting the balance, pushing the Piano to the front of the stage and writing music with a passion and depth that challenges the preconceptions. This generous selection of the very best contemporary pop and rock songs by some of the most intriguing and creative artists of recent years, all selected for the modern Pianist. The chosen artists include Mercury Music Award-winners Antony and The Johnsons, Montreal's cinematic folk-rockers The Arcade Fire and the addictively eccentric Regina Spektor. Each song has been carefully transcribed from the original recording, and includes full lyrics and guitar chords. / Niveau : Elémentaire / Recueil / Piano, Chant et Guitare

The Blues Scale For Guitar by Andrew D. Gordon is an invaluable guide to the blues scale, explaining how it is used to improvise in many styles of contemporary music.Both the Blues scale and relative minor Blues scale are explained in detail, and how they are used either separately or together in the patterns for each style (the relative minor Blues scale is generally not used in minor keys) is discussed. Each of the 20 grooves in this book contains over 150 patterns in total, using notes solely from the blues scale. Each of the 20 grooves utilizes a chord progression that is commonly used for that style of music. The patterns generally start off fairly simply and become more complex as the groove progresses.The audio files contain recordings of all the blues patterns that are notated in the book, recorded along with a rhythm section of Piano, Organ, Guitar, Bass and Drums and, on certain grooves, Percussion. Also included are extended 2-3 minute play-a-long MP3 files of all 20 grooves, enabling you to practice playing the blues patterns or creating your own for an extended period of time. MIDI files are also available. / Guitare
