The four parts of this fresh work, Mexican Fantasies by Mike Curtis, are delicately interwoven. Alternating between melancholy-solemn and lively, the movements tell of festivities under the starry sky, of wonderful friendships, or even a tale of the queen of the tropics.

Saxophone Quartet

SKU: HL.48180918

For Saxophone Quartet. Composed by Gabriel Pierne. Leduc. Classical. Alphonse Leduc #AL19728. Published by Alphonse Leduc (HL.48180918).

UPC: 888680858148. 9.0x12.0x0.177 inches.

This quartet for saxophones, entitled Introduction and Variations on a Popular Rondo by Gabriel Pierné, is a standard in the saxophone quartet repertoire. Composed in 1934 and dedicated to the Marcel Mule Quartet, this piece for advanced players is as bright and cheerful as a round dance should be, and yet, quite delicate and light in terms of writing. With many ornaments and variations, Introduction and Variations begins slowly but is interrupted twice by the rondo. Gabriel Pierné (1863-1937) won the Prix de Rome in 1882. The composer wrote many chamber compositions, piano pieces, symphonic music and some oratorios.

Mattina presto (Early Morning)/ Shirok/ Sweet Argentina

The guitar's repertory is now widely varied and includes works that cover, in historical periods, all technical and interpretative aspects, from the single instrument to the guitar orchestra, passing to the duo, the quartet and the ensemble.
What I thought to be important was a work that would include a comparison between the instruments, a dialog in which music flows between the instruments in a harmonized way, with moments of hard work and others of listening, almost to underline the friendship and the collaboration between the players... it is in that way that these songs of middle difficulty are developed, where the components of the orchestra not only have their part to play, they must also pay attention to the solo guitar playing the theme in counterpoint to themselves.
The three compositions presented are of different inspiration: Mattina Presto is the awakening of the day, clear, as a spring morning. It's the easiest song, with it's simple melody that flits among the voices in the group; Scirok (Scirocco in Albanese) contains a theme inspired by balcanic music, signifying the interest of entering other populations to better understand their culture, as in Sweet Argentina, that begins with a tanguero rhythm, passing then to a slower and more delicate melody and by the end returning to the original popular danced rhythm.
Three pieces in which I hope the game will not only help those who play to grow musically, but will also spark a culture interest, music born by the love for the instrument and the world that surrounds me.
(G. Signorile).

About the Music Semper Gratus is Latin for always grateful. The piece was written in honor of James E. Champion, who taught band for thirty-eight years, twenty-five of which were spent in Florence, Alabama, where he was my elementary school and high school band director. His bands consistently achieved superior ratings throughout his career. He holds multi-decade-spanning memberships in professional music education organizations, continues to serve in helping with Alabama Bandmasters Association events, and conducts and performs in various community bands and ensembles. As my band director at Bradshaw High School, Mr. Champion encouraged me to perform one of my first compositions, a clarinet quartet, at solo/ensemble festival. He taught his students the fundamentals of music, the technical aspects of performance, and exposed them to the great standards of band literature. But in doing so, he also modeled leadership, work-ethic, good character, and fostered the love of the activity of band that led me to choose music education as a career. And for that, I will always be grateful. Performance Notes Measures 1-12: The beginning of the piece should be performed in a majestic, fanfare-like style. The woodwind cues should only be used if absolutely needed during this section. Measures 41-58: The concert toms should establish a presence, but not overpower the winds. The triangle and woodblock parts should be heard distinctly over the concert toms. A higher pitched woodblock should be used for this section. (A set of claves could be used in place of the woodblock if desired.) Measures 59-94: The entirety of the middle section should be played in a rubato style to maximize musical expression, exaggerating dynamics and ritardando sections. The quarter-note triplets in the middle and low winds should be emphasized at m. 70. The molto ritardando that begins at m. 70 should be allowed to build as long as possible in m. 71 before reaching the musical apex of the middle section at m. 72. At mm. 92-94, depending on the size of the ensemble, you may want to limit the number of players (or put one per part) to achieve the most delicate sound possible. Measures 95-End: In mm. 99-107, be sure that the eighth-note running mallet parts are heard as a background texture, but do not overpower the winds. In mm. 114-115, the accents on beats 2 and 4 in the lower winds should be exaggerated to contrast the feel of the previous four measures. In m. 118, all winds should cut off and breathe on beat two for maximum impact on the next three measures.

Woodwind quintet (Fl. Ob. Cl. Hn in F. Bsn.) (flute, oboe clarinet, horn in F, bassoon) - Intermediate-Advanced

SKU: FT.FM605

Composed by Frank Bridge and Traditional. Arranged by Robert Rainford. An arrangement of this well known melody for wind quintet. Score and parts. Forton Music #FM605. Published by Forton Music (FT.FM605).

ISBN 9790570485048.

Fran k Bridge arranged this well known Irish air for string quartet, here presented in a version for wind quintet. Unusually, Bridge starts the arrangement with an extended fantasy upon the main theme, never stating it completely. A series of stabbing chords begin the music, and help to mark out the start of each section. Elements of the tune then weave in and out of the music, and are passed equally between all five players. The first four notes of the theme in rhythmic diminution are transformed into a delicate arpeggio that permeate the music, all accompanied with the lush chords of early 20th century English music. After about one hundred bars the music reaches an impassioned climax before the tune is finally stated in its full form, with each instrument in turn taking a solo phrase accompanied by the others. A final, peaceful coda using the delicate arpeggio of the first sections brings the piece to a close.

ISBN 9790708146667.

This atmospheric, sensitive piece for solo SATB (or small vocal ensemble) with optional string quartet was written by Timothy Raymond for the 2017 Lower Machen Festival. The contemporary harmonic language, with distant echoes of Britten, Holst and Howells, and the delicate, often sensuous textures combine to make a work of considerable expressive power that perfectly captures the essence of W. B. Yeats’s poem. Around six minutes long, it is a welcome addition to the rich repertoire of British vocal music.

Rhei nberger's string quartets, his string quintet and his nonet for winds and strings were often performed and were very successful works during his lifetime. Their density, but also the delicateness of the scherzo movements are in the tradition of Schumann and Mendelssohn and these traits are combined with Rheinberger's sense for the clear, defined structure of the movements and solid contrapuntal writing. The octet for winds and strings is published here for the first time and the nonet, which is actually a reworking of this octet that Rheinberger undertook some twenty years later, is also published in this volume. Rheinberger made major changes from the original octet and he added two new movements to the nonet. Both works show especially the interest and pleasure which he derived from the variety in the differentiation of colors in ensemble playing. The Thema mit Veranderungen op. 93, which until now has been known as a work for string quartet, is published here with the double bass part which Rheinberger later added.

Conce rto da Camera II is a work for six instruments which may be further grouped into three separate entities - clarinet, string quartet, piano. In this combination, chosen by the work's commissioning organizations (the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in conjunction with Mount Holyoke College), lies the work's first challenge. While pairings of any two of these three sound types abound in the concert literature, the three together form a far less common soundscape. The main difficulty appears in the necessity to reconcile the potential of both the clarinet and the piano of acting in a soloistic capacity when pitted against the string quartet. Indeed, the three movements of the Concerto deal with this problem in various ways, with the balance of power between the six instruments' potential for unity and contrast, solo and ensemble playing, continually shifting and changing.   Yet another, more delicate, balance of power is at play here, namely, the relationship between the external, foreground level of the piece and a subtler background level. What, at first, appear like small, gentle melodic strands, mere echoes or residues of the main events, gradually assume an inner life of their own. Never actually taking over yet always there, a salient, if quiet, factor within the work's compositional fabric and evolving organism.   Though each movement includes numerous tempo fluctuations, the overall thrust of the work clearly suggests a fast-slow-fast framework, with the last movement being a loosely structured, occasionally tempestuous Rondo.

Muddy Boots This charming suite has three short movements, each with its own character. The suite bursts open with breathless energy. Seven Toes Down is modal, in 7/8 time, with people dancing in bare feet on bare ground, so vigorously that it kicks up the dust. En Pointe opens with a lovely waltz, then it focuses in on the tiny, delicate movements of a ballerina high up on her toes. Muddy Boots is big strong guys, covered with dirt from a hard day of work, practicing one-upmanship. Different players have the chance to show what they can do, surrounded by their friends. Then we catch another glimpse of the ballerina before closing playfully with Seven Toes Down. Difficulty Level: 4 (Advanced) See composer website for audio sample.

9x12 inches. English-German-French-Dut ch.

Les Trois Mousquetaires (The Three Musketeers) was commissioned by the Miraphone company for the Miraphone Tuba Quartett and the Musique des Gardiens de la Paix (Paris, France). It was premiered in Guebwiller (France), on 28 June 2003 by its dedicatees.Even if you have never read a line of the mythical novel The Three Musketeers (1844) by Alexandre Dumas, father, you will at least have heard of the four invincibles; four extraordinary names - D'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis - and one unique motto All for one, and one for all. The musical texture of Les Trois Mousquetaires is focused on specific elements of a character's personality rather thanon its influence on the book's plot. Maxime Aulio has largely turned his attention on D'Artagnan, the sensitive, romantic and perfect gentleman who is easily charmed by women such as the gentle Constance Bonacieux and the perfidious Milady de Winter whose beguiling beauty seduced him. The first movement - D'Artagnan - is true to the character of the young provincial noble of the Gascony region: heroic and enthusiastic in all circumstances. The second movement entitled Constance Bonacieux, is romantic, delicate and passionate. The third and last movement is as duplicitous as the bewitching femme fatale its reveals: Milady de Winter.

Les Trois Mousquetaires (De drie musketiers) is geschreven in opdracht van de firma Miraphone, voor het Miraphone Tuba Quartett en de Musique des Gardiens de la Paix (Parijs). De premiere vond op 28 juni 2003 plaats in Guebwiller (Frankrijk).Ook wie nooit een zin heeft gelezen van de mythische roman De drie musketiers (1844) van Alexandre Dumas pere, heeft in elk geval gehoord van de vier onoverwinnelijken - D'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos en Aramis - en hun unieke lijfspreuk Een voor allen, allen voor een. Dumas' roman is vaak bewerkt en blijft tot de verbeelding preken. De muzikale structuur van Les Trois Mousquetaires is gebaseerd op specifieke elementenvan de karakters en niet zozeer op de plot van het boek. Maxime Aulio heeft zich vooral geconcentreerd op D'Artagnan, de gevoelige, romantische gentleman die zich gemakkelijk laat verleiden door vrouwen als de mooie Constance Bonacieux en de valse femme fatale Milady de Winter. Het eerste deel, D'Artagnan, verklankt de persoonlijkheid van deze jonge edelman uit de Gascogne: heroisch en bezield onder elke omstandigheid. Deel twee, met de titel Constance Bonacieux, is romantisch, bekoorlijk en hartstochtelijk. Het derde en laatste deel is net zo bedrieglijk betoverend als de dame die erin wordt beschreven: Milady de Winter.

Les Trois Mousquetaires (Die drei Musketiere) wurde von der Firma Miraphone fur das Miraphone Tuba Quartett und die Musique des Gardiens de la Paix (Musik der Friedensgarde) in Paris in Auftrag gegeben. Von diesen Ensembles wurde das Stuck am 28. Juni 2003 im franzosischen Guebwiller uraufgefuhrt.Auch wer nie eine Zeile des geheimnisvollen Romans Die drei Musketiere (1844) von Alexandre Dumas, Vater, gelesen hat, hat doch zumindest schon von den vier Unbesiegbaren gehort - von den vier aussergewohnlichen Namen D'Artagnan, Athos, Portos und Aramis und von ihrem einzigartigen Motto Alle fur einen und einer fur alle. Die musikalische Struktur von Les TroisMousquetaires konzentriert sich mehr auf besondere Charakterzuge einer Person, denn auf deren Einfluss auf die Handlung des Buches. Maxime richtete sein Hauptaugenmerk auf D'Artagnan, den sensiblen, romantischen und perfekten Gentleman, der sich leicht von Frauen bezaubern lasst, wie zum Beispiel der liebreizenden Constance Bonacieux und der perfiden Lady de Winter, deren betorende Schonheit ihn verfuhrt. Der erste Satz - D'Artagnan - halt sich eng an den Charakter des jungen Landadligen aus der Gascogne, der sich unter allen Umstanden als heroisch und enthusiastisch erweist. Der zweite Satz mit dem Titel Constance Bonacieux ist romantisch, zart und leidenschaftlich. Der dritte und letzte Satz ist so doppelzungig wie die bezaubernde Femme fatale Milady de Winter.

Les Trois Mousquetaires est une commande de la societe Miraphone pour le Miraphone Tuba Quartett et la Musique des Gardiens de la Paix, qui en assurerent la creation a Guebwiller (France), le 28 juin 2003. / Meme si l'on n'a jamais lu une seule ligne du roman mythique d'Alexandre Dumas, Les Trois Mousquetaires (1844), on connait necessairement le quatuor parfait (avec sa celebre devise << Tous pour un, un pour tous >>) que forment D'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, et Aramis. Aussi ne compte-t-on plus les nombreuses adaptations du roman, ni les nombreux historiens qui s'interessent au tres reel Charles de Batz de Castelmore d'Artagnan, mort au siege de Maastricht en 1673. Letissu musical des Trois Mousquetaires (The Three Musketeers) s'interesse davantage aux elements de la personnalite d'un personnage, qu'au role qu'il joue dans l'intrigue. La trame est vivante, on y vit intensement. Maxime Aulio a oriente son choix sur D'Artagnan, le parfait gentilhomme, sensible et romantique, qui se laisse facilement seduire par les femmes, a l'image de la douce Constance Bonacieux dont il s'eprend et de la perfide Milady de Winter dont la beaute l'envoute. Le premier mouvement - D'Artagnan - est fidele au caractere du jeune noble provincial venu de Gascogne : enthousiaste et heroique en toutes circonstances. Le second mouvement - Constance Bonacieux - est galant, prevenant et passionne. Le troisieme et dernier tableau est, quant a lui, aussi ensorceleur et sournois que la femme fatale qu'il depeint, Milady de Winter.

UPC: 680160097302.

A stunning volume of songs on twelve impassioned love sonnets by the composer's wife, Anne Spencer Lindbergh. For most of these handsome pieces, Sapieyevski chooses unusually delicate and transparent musical textures, importing an almost impressionistic flavor. A few of the songs from this large cycle may be performed separately as long as the sequence is preserved. Two instrumental accompaniments are available on rental from the publisher: string quartet and chamber orchestra. All singers should see this important addition to contemporary vocal literature. For colleges, professional. Medium difficult.

Writt en in 1998, Pacific Serenade is a “peaceful serenade:” serenade as in: romantic, quasi improvised music which should be sung at night under the stars. The main “singer” here is the clarinet. In general the music is extremely quiet, delicate, sensuous and sentimental. The sensuousness is created by Latin song elements especially the nostalgic Brazilian folk song, which is at times combined with Blues style melody and harmony. The string quartet has a technically expressively challenging part which is not merely the accompaniment to the clarinet, but rather it is responsible for setting the mood in which the clarinet sings. This is Aguila’s opus 59 and it was commissioned by Pacific Serenades Ensemble of California who premiered the work in 1998. Of course the ensemble's name inspired the name of this work as well as its mood. In an age of boom boxes, media bombardment of information and pop culture becoming increasingly aggressive, boisterous and violent, I felt the need to write just the opposite… to show once more that less is more. -- Miguel del Aguila.

This atmospheric, sensitive piece for solo SATB (or small vocal ensemble) with optional string quartet was written by Timothy Raymond for the 2017 Lower Machen Festival. The contemporary harmonic language, with distant echoes of Britten, Holst and Howells, and the delicate, often sensuous textures combine to make a work of considerable expressive power that perfectly captures the essence of W. B. Yeats’s poem. Around six minutes long, it is a welcome addition to the rich repertoire of British vocal music.
