Par RODGERS SARAH. Choral settings of ‘Lift up your heads, O ye gates’ from Psalm 24 are numerous, from that of the sixteenth-century Geneva Psalter of Claude Goudimel to the present day. Unsurprisingly so, as the text has many appropriate liturgical applications. In this jubilant setting, The King of Glory, Sarah Rodgers has provided church choirs of all abilities with a truly celebratory anthem that in its writing for SATB displays many elements of choral craft, from unison and two-part textures to a satisfyingly contrapuntal full harmony. The driving, rhythmic figure in the organ accompaniment underpins and uplifts the voices, and occasional harmonic juxtapositions add delightfully unexpected moments of colour. Importantly, with a proficient organist, the anthem can be prepared with just one or two rehearsals. It is certain to be of great appeal both to choirs and to congregations. / Date parution : 1905-07-10/ Feuillet / SATB et Orgue

A basic ear training text with examples and suggested self-study curriculum. Armen Donelian, prominent pianist and composer, has condensed the essence of 25 years of teaching experience into Training the Ear. These ear training exercises were created for use in entry-level college classes and for private study. While this book focuses on the specific musical needs of jazz improvisers, students of all kinds of music can benefit from the exercises presented here. The aural abilities may be developed by singing, tapping, naming, analyzing, transcribing, reading and playing a series of progressively more challenging musical exercises. These practices will help you to process music with ease and confidence. By fully mastering each step along the way, a reliable structure is established which can always be called upon to support your growth. This is the beginning of real musical freedom. Since 1986, Donelian has taught in the Jazz and Contemporary Music Studies Program at The New School for Social Research in New York City, where he heads the Ear Training curriculum.

Edgar Knecht is a jazz pianist who has created his own unique style. His début CD, 'Good Morning Lilofee? (with four-piece combo), conquered the clubs and earned him invitations to international festivals. His treatment of the original melodies is refreshingly different from standard jazz arrangements: It is characterized by a free perception of the tunes, varied rhythms as well as unconventional harmonies. The same recipe for success underlies his second CD, 'Dance On Deep Waters?, with which the Edgar Knecht Quartet is again going on tour, with many gigs lined up for spring and summer.All eight of the songs in our edition offer agreeable and stimulating literature outside the classical and jazz pigeonholes for pianists everywhere, whether or not they dig German folksongs. Familiar tunes such as 'Es freit der wilde Wassermann? or 'Die Gedanken sind frei? gain a wholly new quality and pizzazz in his arrangements. Though based on the original songs, the pieces go far beyond them in form, harmony and rhythm, thereby turning the originals into top-quality jazz ballads. All the pieces have suggestions for improvised passages, usually with chords and written-out ostinato bass lines.All the pieces are recorded on the like-named CD with Edgar Knecht at the piano, accompanied by his trio of bass, drums and percussion.- Eight songs for piano- Appealing literature- Ad lib improvised partsContentsLilofee, Gedankenfreiheit (Freedom of Thought), Tiefe Wasser (Deep Waters), Nachttraum (Dream at Night), Fenjas Lullaby, Schwesterlein (Little Sister), Frühling (Spring), Wiegenlied (Cradle Song)The AuthorEdgar Knecht lives in Kassel (Germany), where he heads a piano school and tours with his combo. Since the age of 14 he has held concerts with his own piano pieces and written many theatre, film and TV scores. With his Edgar Knecht Trio he transforms German folksongs into fascinating jazz ballads with which he fills his programmes and venues. / Piano
