English. The wind
is cold, the branches
bare, but hearts are warm
and bright. Despite the
chill of December, it''
all about hope, peace,
and kindling kindness. As
you'd expect from a
round, a simple melody
easily stacks into a
complete choral texture.
Even better, the
conservative-range tune
ensures a good fit for
all voices. Groups of any
age will master the
canonic form and enjoy
delivering the heartfelt,
non-holiday message.

inches. The
European Hymn is the hymn
not only of the European
Union but of Europe in a
broader sense. The melody
has been taken from the
Ninth Symphony by Ludwig
van Beethoven from
1823.In the last movement
of this symphony
Beethoven set music to
the 'Ode to Joy' by
Friedrich von Schiller
from 1785. This poem
sprang from Schiller's
idealistic vision of men
who become brothers - a
vision Beethoven shared
with him.In 1972 the
Council of Europe adopted
Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy'
as its anthem. The
well-known conductor
Herbert von Karajan was
commissioned to arrange
three instrumental
versions - for solo
piano, wind orchestra and
symphony orchestra.
Without words, in the
universal language of
music, the anthem is an
expression of the
idealistic values of
freedom, peace and
solidarity which Europe
stands for.In 1985 the
heads of state and
government adopted the
hymn as the EU's official
anthem. It does not
replace the national
anthems of the member
states, but rather
celebrates common values
as well as unity in
diversity.The score of
this offical anthem is
exclusively available
from the Schott
publishing
house.

English. As summer
ends, the chill of the
autumn air awakens
feelings within us. The
shadows are longer in
late afternoon and
darkness comes early. The
trees are losing their
leaves and their gnarled
trunks and branches take
on sinister profiles
against the looming
twilight. We shudder at
the cold wind. Our pulse
quickens and we suddenly
want to return to the
safety and warmth of
home. Night falls and we
are once again at peace.
We say a final farewell
to the carefree days of
summer and accept the
relentless march of the
seasons. Winter will soon
be here.
Shadows
of the Equinox is a
dramatic and lyrical
piece inspired by a late
Midwest autumn. It was
commissioned by the 2010
Festival of Bands,
Vincennes, Indiana,
including the bands from
Barr-Reeve, Loogootee,

North Knox, and South

Schiller,
Friedrich. Friedric
h Schillers Ode an die
Freude (Ode to Joy) went
on to become world-famous
through the setting by
Ludwig van Beethoven in
1824 in the final
movement of his 9th
Symphony. Today
Beethoven's Ode to Joy is
one of the most popular
works of classical music
worldwide - celebratory
and powerful music which
is an expression of joy,
community, protest, and
thanks. This catchy
arrangement of Schiller's
and Beethoven's Ode for
chorus and piano, or
optionally for chorus,
band and wind instruments
by Peter Schindler,
stands for all these
emotions. Brass riffs,
jazzy harmonies, a choral
setting in one to three
parts, and an adaptation
of the text are all
highlights of special
musical moments which the
whole audience can join
in at the end! An English
singing text is
included. $5.95 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

- dur.: 6' 3.
Hermit Crab Tango -
Esperanza (1997) - dur.:
5' The pieces can
be performed together or
one by one. In the1980s,
quite a few finds turned
up in Per Norgard's
music. The material could
be, say, a number of song
birds' equilibrist
melodic lines, the
overtones of the ocean
surf, or waltzing themes
by the schizophrenic
artist Adolf Wolfli
(1864-1930). Or again, as
heard here, it can be the
rhythms and motifs of the
tango and a Beatles song
(with bird), explored in
three independent piano
pieces that form the
Animals in Concert suite,
about which the composer
writes: A
Tortoise's Tango: The
tortoise as tango dancer
must presumably possess
certain rhythmic
peculiarities, which I
have chosen to express by
letting the tune of the
tortoise shuffle broadly,
tripartite through the
strict four partite time
of tango. Tortoise
Tango was the original
title of this piece,
written for Achilles (the
pianist Yvar Mikhashoff),
for his so called tango
project, including new
tangos for piano by
composers from all over
the world. Light of
a Night (Paul meets bird)
was commissioned by
pianist Aki Takahashi. It
is a reworked arrangement
for piano of the Beatles
song Blackbird. As some
of us will recall, the
Beatles on The White
Album let the beautiful
song to the blackbird be
accompanied by an
(apparently) live
blackbird song. It is
this authentic bird-motif
world that in Light of a
Night weaves itself into
the Beatles melody and in
turn is gradually
infected by it, so that a
completely new third
entity ensues: a kind of
Bird-rock ballad (or
maybe it is a
Beatle-bird?).
Hermit Crab Tango
(Esperanza): The tango
situation is quite
special for a Hermit
Crab. It is a well-known
fact that the hermit crab
- this soft animal - must
run the gauntlet among
the many perils at the
bottom of the sea when it
must move hose. I have
chosen to express the
angers by a tango pattern
- sharp as a cactus -
through which the tune,
optimistic, slips to its
new shelter. I have
borrowed the tune from
songwriter Hanne
Methling's Introduction:
'I want to get through
this time!' she sings in
a ecstatically ascending
melody line - and I
believe that these words
must correspond very well
to the mood of the hermit
crab: 'Esperanza'- the
green runners of hope
wind among the
latticework formed by the
tango rows. $26.50 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

Musik Fabrik #MFCD014PN.
Published by Musik Fabrik
(FA.MFCD014PN). 8.27 x
11.69 inches. Fetes
galantes was actually
planned as a hybrid
opera-ballet to a
libretto by Debussy's
friend Louis Laloy. For
this, Laloy arranged
selected poetry by Paul
Verlaine into three
tableaux, replacing an
earlier (unstarted)
Debussyan project with
Charles Morice entitled
Crimen amoris. During his
last productive summer of
1915, Debussy set a
sequence from the start
of the first tableau,
'Les Masques', involving
stanzas 1 and 3 of the
opening song for Mezzetin
in Verlaine's comedy Les
Uns et les autres. The
action is set in a park a
la Watteau late one
summer afternoon as
Mezzetin attempts to
entertain a group of
nonchalant masqueraders
with only the aid of his
voice and a
mandolin.
This
appears to have been
prefaced by a slower,
elegiac introduction
reminiscent of the
opening of the
comtemporary Cello Sonata
and it leads to a danced
minuet by the masqued
dancers which has clear
echoes of the piano piece
L'Isle Joyeuse (1904).
Following Laloy's
scenario, the
mas-queraders then sing
extracts from Verlaine's
'A la promenade' (from
Fetes galantes itself).
The minuet returns at
greater length before
being cut short by a
chilly gust of wind,
after which the park
returns to its orginal
state (and music) as
though nothing had really
happened. $16.19 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 4 to 6 weeks | | |
