Par CAMPBELL LAURA. Sketches for Improvisation provides material for improvisation using the same basic processes as Sketching at the Keyboard. Classroom use of the two companion volumes as part of the National Curriculum will enable teachers of children or adults to keep a mixed ability group working together on the same basic material, through the additional challenge of free improvisation and composition. Sketches for Improvisation is particularly suitable for children in junior departments of conservatoires and music centres, who are expected to produce composition folios from the earliest stages of learning./ Livre / Livre

Sketches from Nowhere is the second composition that Thomas Doss has written for brass band. The title was inspired by various images the composer saw in his mind’s eye while working on this piece: pictures of foreign places; pictures of the creationof our world. The main motif that weaves its way from the beginning to the end of the work is meant to parallel humanity’s great evolution: from its humble beginnings as mere stardust to the present day.

Par CAMPBELL LAURA. By the prizewinning author of the 1983 Music Teacher Award in Music Education. This 258 page book is dedicated to the memory of Emile Jacques-Dalcroze who insisted that the sound, the feel and the enjoyment of music must be experienced before the use of notational symbols. It is appropriately sub-titled Harmonisation by Ear for Students of All Ages and has established itself as a vital book for all who would teach or learn harmony at the keyboard./ Livre / Livre

Simon Dobson wrote his 'Four Sketches' at the request of Peter Bossano Head of Brass at the Royal College of Music in recognition of the 25th anniversary of Benjamin Britten’s death. The first movement 'Fanfare' quotes directly from the opening violin melody from Britten’s song cycle Les Illuminations. This melodic line is superimposed upon sonorous Lydian mode chords to project a majestic sound. The second movement 'Prayer' is a definite contrast being and much more reflective and pensive in it’s mood and featuring a dream like euphonium cadenza. The third movement 'Funeral March' builds from a soft chordal opening to a chaotic and confusedfortississimo climax with flourishes in the cornets and pounding tri-tones across the basses before plunging into silence for a flugel cadenza to finish. The final Finale movement is much more positive from the off with its jaunty melodies over a Brittenesque ostinato. The block chordal passages offer a crashing climax making for an exciting conclusion to an excellent new work for the medium. Simon Dobson’s 'Four Sketches' was the winning entry in the European Brass Band Composer Competition held in Brussels in March 2002.

Liederkreis, op. 24 u.a.. Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. The New Robert Schumann Edition (RSA) is intended as a historico-critical edition of the collected works. They will be carefully studied and prepared according to present-day musicological and editorial techniques and presented in their entirety. Drafts, sketches and fragments, in short, everything that has come down to us as being authentically by Schumann and which, in most cases, has been deliberately preserved by him, will be brought together, evaluated as to its importance and documented in some form or other in the edition of the complete works. It is the aim of the edition to reproduce authentic texts which – having corrected scribal, copying and printing errors and eradicated later additions and other textual corruptions – will approach as closely as is possible the intention of the originals. The critical edition will form the basis of accurate performance material for Robert Schumann‘s work. / Date parution : 2022-05-31/ Recueil / Chant

Boby Lapointe (Auteur), Sam Olivier (Préface) / Boby Lapointe, auteur-compositeur-interprète, né en 1922, mort en 1972, a marqué la chanson française de ses audaces verbales, de sa voix distinguée et de ses harmonies fanfaronnes. Cet enfant de Pézenas, pittoresque petite ville de l'Hérault, où toutes les syllabes comptent, pratique jusqu'à l'absurde l'allitération, le double sens, le canular, le calembour et autres fientes de l'esprit. Tour à tour bricoleur de planeurs, scaphandrier-nettoyeur d'épaves, représentant de commerce, fort des halles, installateur d'antennes de télévision et coetera, il se lance dans la chanson et fait la tournée des cabarets. Découvert par Truffaut en 1960, il devient le "chanteur sous-titré" de Tirez sur le pianiste. Victime de la déferlante yéyé et d'un cancer, il retrouve l'anonymat. Il sera redécouvert par une nouvelle génération de chanteurs, d'amateurs et d'enseignants - de la maternelle à l'université - et accède à une popularité qu'il n'a hélas jamais connue de son vivant. Chansonbricole réunit les chansons, sketches, poèmes et autres bricoles de Boby Lapointe. Au total 84 textes qui constituent l'Intégrale de son ?uvre poétique. Aragon et Castille, Framboise, La maman des poissons... voisinent avec 11 pièces inédites, des documents rares et des manuscrits retrouvés par ses enfants.

Here, in one handsome volume, are the world's favourite classical and popular melodies arranged for the beginner pianist. Includes 125 easy arrangements of famous piano masterpieces, symphonic themes, operatic arias, folk songs, holiday songs and golden hits. / Piano

Arnold Schönberg is the central figure in the musical world of this century. His musical significance was already apparent during his life-time, but his posthumous influence has increased immensely. His work paved the way for ground-breaking changes in musical perception. This complete edition aspires to be equally indispensable for research as well as for performance. The edition is published in two series: series A in folio format contains all completed works, all piano scores prepared by the composer himself and all unfinished works suitable for performance - also fragments (large scores) which are better suited to be printed in such a format. Series B, in quarto format, contains early versions, sketches, ideas and fragments as well as genesis and a Critical Commentary. / Scores

Par PUTZ MARCO. Pays aux mille légendes, à la fois austère et romantique, l’Écosse a inspiré de nombreux cinéastes, écrivains et musiciens dont Marco Pütz, qui signe avec From the Highlands, une nouvelle oeuvre captivante. Après avoir harmonisé librement plusieurs mélodies écossaises traditionnelles, modifié leur traitement rythmique et ajouté quelques éléments personnels, Marco Pütz a réussi à concevoir un charmant condensé musical de cette terre de nature. From the Highlands s’inscrit dans un projet contribuant à enrichir, en quantité et en qualité, le répertoire original pour Orchestres Juniors/Orchestres à l’École. Marco Pütz y est particulièrement attentif. Après le vifsuccès remporté par ses pièces Arrows of Lightning et Four Sketches for Band, il s’agit là de sa troisième contribution éducative publiée dans le catalogue des éditions De Haske. / Niveau : 3 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
