Björk Guðmundsdóttir is one of the key recording artists of the 21st century. Moving effortlessly between disciplines and genres so fluidly it would shame David Bowie, Björk has tackled neo-classical, showtunes, house, pop, indie as well as acting (winning best actress at the Cannes Film Festival for her turn in Dancer In The Dark) and creating a visual template for her work that is staggeringly rich. Björk has used collaboration as a key part of her work and her work available in sheet music is perhaps her most radical example of this. In her own words ?I wanted to question how I felt about musical documentation, when CDs were slowly becoming obsolete, I was curious about the difference of midi (digital notation) and classical notation and enthusiastic in blurring the lines and at which occasions and how one would share music in these new times. What is the difference of karaoke and the lyrical recitals of the 19th century' Can one meet at bonfires and sing techno songs' (well icelanders do obvs) Maybe I should share digital notation that people could connect to their synths or do harpsichord versions of electronic beats to enjoy in the living rooms and hopefully families singalong to?.

In what is neither an instructional nor a concert-style format acoustic Guitar master and acknowledged Harp Guitar pioneer Stephen Bennett plays ten captivating Harp Guitar solos demonstrating the capabilities ofthis rarely heard instrument in a relaxed recording studio setting. With one exception the traditional fiddle tune Westphalia Waltz Stephen composed all of the music heard here.Stephen introduces each tune with insightfulremarks about Harp Guitar history the tunings he developed for the additional six bass strings and the events or circumstances that inspired his compositions .One of the original advertising claims made for Harp Guitars was thatthey would do to the standard Guitar what the Piano did to the Harpsichord; that is make it obsolete. That may or may not occur but in this video you will at least hear some of the inherent possibilities of the HarpGuitar.Ultimately you may find yourself thinking that those early claims might not be so farfetched; indeed magic happens when these instruments are in the right hands and Stephen Bennett clearly has thosehands. Join Stephen for an intimate introduction to this largely forgotten instrument and allow yourself to fall under the spell of the Harp Guitar.

Par MONTEVERDI CLAUDIO / GOMBERT NICOLAS. Monteverdi's Missa in illo tempore for six voices, together with the Vespers form a collection of church music which was printed in Venice in 1610 and dedicated to Pope Paul V. During the period of transition from the older [16th century] polyphonic style to the new concertante style Monteverdi displayed his compositional abilities in this collection using both means of expression. Whereas the Vespers contained, for their time, the most modern concerti, contemporaneously the Missa employed the already obsolete genre of parody mass based on themes from a motet by Nicolas Gombert; it was composed consciously in the stile antico. The vocal parts are accompanied by a basso continuotreated as a basso seguente. / Messe / Répertoire / Choeur SSATTB et Basse Continue

The Grand Hotel is a folksong about the comings and goings of guests at a hotel in a small town of Vancouver along the old now obsolete Cassiar Railway. The simple melody is full of amusing vocal techniques making for a spirited playful and entertaining piece for performers and audiences alike.

A well presented editon revised and prepared by Fritz Gaillard. The sixth suite was originally written for a five-stringed instrument now obsolete thus its technical difficulty. The editor has offered optional revisions for the player's consideration.

Trumpet parts in both B flat and E flat simplified piano part and a free CD including piano backing tracks and orchestral performance extracts.Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837) composed this concerto in 1803 for the keyed trumpet which had been developed by Anton Weidinger (1767-1852). Weidinger gave its first performance on New Year's Day 1804. Originally composed in the key of E it is more commonly played in Eb. The keyed trumpet was the first type of trumpet which could play chromatically but the invention was not a huge success: it suffered from a poor quality of sound. In the early 19th century the invention of the valve rendered the keyed trumpetobsolete.This edition is intended to be more user-friendly than the others currently available: there is a much easier (and dare I say more stylistic) piano accompaniment - any doubling of the solo part has been removed voicing simplified and my premise has been to imagine what it might have been before it was orchestrated rather than trying to cram in every last piece of orchestral detail.Suggested cuts in the piano part have been indicated giving a short introduction to each movement perfect for auditions recitals or exams. However the bar numbers still tally with the longer original versions which are included should they be required. The dynamics and articulation which I have added incorporate the weight of opinion in current editions and recordings offering more guidance than 'scholarly' editions without being overprescriptive.There is an appendix with suggested interpretation of trills and ornaments. Listening to as many different recordings as possible is the best way to assimilate good trills.The accompanying CD provides piano accompaniments and observes the suggested cuts. See page 38 for full track listing. There is free software available online (eg. speedshifter on the ABRSM website) which enables you to change the speed of a CD should you wish to practise slower or indeed faster.The Hummel
