Paav
o Korpijaakko's (b. 1977)
guitar sonata Kimberley
was composed in 2006 and
dedicated to Petri
Kumela. It is
Korpijaakko's fist piece
for the guitar, and the
composers gives credit to
the commissioner, who
untiringly and
long-sufferingly solved
the challenges posed by
the musical ideas and
conjured forth timbral
shades. Including a
tribute to Debussy, a
playful scherzo and some
shameless flirting with a
flamenco the four
movement sonata arrives
at a spectacular
conclusion.

Korpijaakko
studied at the Tampere
Conservatory
1997â2007, majoring
in composition from 2001
onwards. For most of the
time he was a pupil of
Jouni Kaipainen, but he
was also taught by Juhani
Nuorvala and Hannu
Pohjannoro. Korpijaakko
stresses the importance
of harmony, resonant
material and harmonic
hierarchy, by which he
means harmony as a
fundamental progressive
element of the piece. His
aim in handling his
motifs is to use his
material sparingly. In
this respect he
specifically wants to be
a kindred spirit to
Beethoven. Everything
that will later appear in
the work must be derived
from the core thematic
and harmonic elements
â or whatever one
likes to call them. Most
important is, however, to
create a steady stream of
interesting music.

The Hawaiian word
for slack key guitar,
kī
hÅâ??alu, means
to â??loosen the
keyâ? or retune some
of the strings to create
a harmonious sound with
an open or alternate
tuning. Slack key is a
fingerpicking style
characterized by strong
alternating bass lines
played with the thumb.
While slack key can be
played on any guitar,
most players prefer a
nylon- or steel-stringed
acoustic
instrument.
This
book presents 25
intermediate to advanced
traditional and original
tunes in the Hawaiian
slack key style. Melodies
are often harmonized in
sixths or thirds played
with or without double
stops. Techniques like
syncopated bass lines,
hammer-ons, pull-offs,
slides, and harmonics are
tastefully employed to
evoke the images of ocean
breezes, swaying palms,
hula dancers and white
sandy beaches.
The author writes,
â??Unless you grew up
playing slack key,
itâ??s hard to get from
the material presented in
most books and DVDs to a
fluid,
play-it-your-own-way
style.â? This book
seeks to reveal the
insights the author has
gleaned from studying and
jamming with some of the
giants of the slack key
style, and help you
develop a style all your
own.
Includes
access to online audio
tracks of all 25 relaxing
but challenging Hawaiian
slack key
tunes.

Revival is a long overdue
resource that provides
fresh accessible
arrangements of classic
hymns for contemporary
ensembles. Each
arrangement is scored for
SAB choir, piano, guitar,
and optional instrumental
parts. For added texture,
the final stanza of each
hymn includes an
alternate harmonization
of the accompaniment with
a soprano descant. These
fourteen arrangements
will open a whole new set
of treasured hymns to
piano and guitar based
ensembles. Compatible
with the versions founds
in GIA’s most
recent hymnals, each of
these arrangements is
intended to support and
inspire the sung prayer
of the assembly. Every
one will find a
comfortable home in your
repertoire throughout the
liturgical year! A
special spiral bound
edition of Revival is
also available. This
edition is perfect for
accompanists who would
also like to use these
hymn arrangements as
preludes, interludes, or
postludes. Collections
like Revival are
not simply a way for
contemporary ensembles to
plant deeper roots and
tap into more traditional
repertoires. It is a way
for all of us to hear old
hymns with new ears, in a
new way. --Fr. Anthony
Ruff, OSB, Associate
Professor of Theology at
St. John's Abbey Quote

Alonso’s Revival
offers us fourteen
wonderfully arranged
familiar
hymns—musically
accessible and a delight
to sing. Flexibly crafted
for voices, piano and
guitar with lovely
optional descants, this
is an ecumenical gift and
bridge-builder between
classical and
contemporary approaches
to hymns in the liturgy.
It should be in every
parish’s working
library. --Don Saliers,
Professor of Theology and
Worship at the Candler
School of Theology In his
new collection, Revival,
Tony Alonso marks the
500th anniversary of a
great divide in the
church by bridging the
chasm between Catholic
and Protestant,
contemporary and
traditional, Appalachian
and European. His
arrangements for voices,
piano, and
guitar—with
options for using other
instruments as
well—allow for
improvisation and
adaptation while
remaining accessible for
a wide range of
musicians. Although these
hymns are designed to be
used by contemporary
ensembles, they lend
themselves to use in a
variety of worshiping
contexts. Alonso's
arrangements will entice
you to sing
along--Revival is a great
gift to the whole church!
--Kimberly Bracken Long,
Editor of Call to
Worship: Liturgy, Music,
Preaching, & the Arts
Tony Alonso’s,
Revival, is an invaluable
resource to help find
common ground among
“contemporaryâ€
and
“traditionalâ€
choirs and ensembles by
making hymnody
approachable to those who
may have shied away from
it for stylistic reasons.
It is also a great
educational tool for
organists and pianists
who are seeking ways to
improve their
improvisatory keyboard
skills by modeling
accompaniment styles and
improvisatory patterns
that support and enhance
the singing of
traditional hymns.
