It is not only the great success of Nathan Evans' re-release of The Wellerman on social media that is responsible for the great popularity of sea shanties and naval songs. Such songs create a unique mood, a touch of adventure and wanderlust for the big, wide world. Hardly anyone can elude it and with Vahid Matejko's Sea Shanty Play-Alongs there are now the most beautiful sea shanties and naval songs skillfully arranged as an instrumental play-along series for recorder, flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet (opt. baritone T.C.), trombone (opt. baritone B.C.), violin, and accordion (piano).
The varied arrangements have a wide stylistic range and offer echoes from rock, Latin, funk, big band to orchestral and Caribbean influences. Thus, each song has its own musical and instrumental appeal, to which the parts and/or solos specially composed by arranger Vahid Matejko also contribute. The original polyphonic choral vocals are replaced by polyphonic instrumental backings.
Each of the ten titles was recorded live by excellent professional musicians and is available in two different versions: — a demo-track which features a live violin performance by Julia Carola Jech, the female world music violinist and specialist for tango music and
— a minus-one mix for you to play-along.

Score and separate parts with spiral-bound keyboard/organ part. Number 5, 1950 was Mark Rothko's last painting before the breakthrough into his mature format. In it the luminous color fields of a classic Rothko are inscribed across the middle with three delicate lines. Describing this painting and its pivotal position in Rothko's work, Brian O'Doherty observes: 'After this, the lines disappear completely.' In recent years gesture and figuration have disappeared from my music. What used to be background has emerged to become a musical world composed entirely of floating color fields. In this new world I've changed media, moving from the orchestra to smaller combinations of acoustical instruments and electronically-processed sounds. I still think in orchestral terms, but this hybrid medium allows me to create orchestral textures for more practical and readily available ensembles. Initially I imagined this as a kind of monolithic music -an entire piece as one rich and complex sound. Then I came to hear it as homophonic or heterophonic. And now - in this musical world that I thought was completely free of lines - I've come to hear a polyphony of harmonic clouds. Maybe the lines never disappear completely. Maybe Christian Wolff was right when he quipped: 'No matter what we do, sooner or later it all sounds melodic.' - John Luther Adams.

Vioolwer eld deel 1 is bedoeld voor leerlingen vanaf 7 jaar en is zo geschreven dat er geen specifieke muzikale voorkennis voor nodig is. De methode kan individueel en in de groepsles worden gebruikt.

Wie met Vioolwer eld aan de slag gaat, zal ontdekken hoe verfrissend de nieuwe aanpak is. Voor de leerling brengt elke bladzijde weer een nieuwe verrassing. Leerlingen leren telkens andere dingen en niet één bladzijde is qua inhoud hetzelfde. Ook de docent zal aangenaam verrast worden door de doordachte structuur in rubrieken en de samenhang daarvan.

Het zal meteen opvallen dat de leerling aanvankelijk niet via noten maar via speelopdrachten wordt aangestuurd en dat deze methode meer teksten, foto’s en grepenschema’s biedt dan ander lesmateriaal. Pas na een paar maanden beginnen leerlingen met het notenschrift. Naast het boek bevat de methode een website. Hier kunnen demo- en begeleidingstracks worden gedownload, evenals demonstratievideo’ s en pdf’s met begeleidingspartijen voor viool of piano.

In feite slaat Vioolwereld daarmee een brug tussen het traditionele leren via notenschrift en het op gehoor leren zoals gebeurt in het Suzukionderwijs en in de pop-, jazz- en volksmuziek.

Learn ing to play chamber music is an important milestone in the music student’s journey. Playing with a teacher or friend helps develop rhythmic independence, intonation, listening skills, and sense of pulse that are vital to playing in an ensemble. These progressive duets offer beginning and developing players the opportunity to play along with others, or with the helpful support of the teacher in a lesson. Each duet adds new techniques and challenges that align with the natural advancement of lessons, moving from easy rhythms and keys to staccato bow strokes, slurs, accidentals (low or extended finger patterns), and more complex or independent rhythms. While the melody remains in the top line, musicians can alternate playing the melody as all efforts have been made to keep both parts at a similar difficulty level. This book features familiar melodies for the holidays, including sacred and secular Christmas songs, music for Hanukkah, and folk tunes from many countries. Appropriate for caroling, recitals, or chamber holiday concerts, there are 30 festive selections of different tempi, styles, and keys for variety, while remaining in string-friendly ranges. Each duet is one page or less in length, ensuring an immediate sense of success for young players. Put new skills into practice while celebrating the season.
