The Long And Winding Road is one of the most popular ballads of The Beatles' late-period. A melancholic song written by Paul McCartney and inspired by the growing tensions within the group, it's a dramatic track that creates a sense of emotional drama by modulating between minor and major keys. This new choral arrangement for SATB choir with piano accompaniment by Simon Foxley is an intriguing proposition for ensembles with its non-traditional chorus and ambiguous yet emotive melodies and lyrics. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Piano

for Wind Orchestra, Studyscore. Par CESARINI FRANCO. Fascinated by the beauty of Chicago, Franco Cesarini has translated his emotions into music: this is how Symphony No. 3 ?Urban Landscapes? Op. 55, was born, a musical portrait of this metropolis overlooking Lake Michigan. The composition is divided into three movements: The Wrigley Building from Dawn to Noon, Blue Silhouette and Cloud Gates, which by sharing the same thematic material arranged in cyclical form, strengthen the overall cohesion of the piece. The first movement, preceded by a short slow introduction in which the main theme is presented in an almost dreamlike form, metaphorically represents the city at dawn. The sudden change of time symbolizes the start of activities with all its noises and sounds: you can hear the bell that announces the closing of the subway doors, the sound of cars speeding by, the siren of a patrol car. If the first movement represents the day, the second introduces a nocturnal environment: a melancholic melody played by the English horn anticipates a more animated tempo depicting melodies coming from jazz clubs. Powerful fanfares that take up the second theme of the first movement introduce the third movement. In this finale, the role of the two themes is reversed compared to the first movement and one takes the place of the other in a kind of games of mirrors. Symphony No. 3 ?Urban Landscapes?

Günter Habicht composed music for folk instruments and contributions to educational literature as well as works for wind orchestra, chamber and orchestral music, including the “Sinfonietta”, published in 1964 by VEB Breitkopf & Härtel Musikverlag Leipzig, and the award-winning “Quartettino 1969” for wind instruments, created for a composition contest organized by the Association of Composers and Musicologists on the occasion of the GDR’s 20th anniversary. With an easy piano accompaniment, the sonatina for clarinet and piano “Temperaments”, written in the same year, is particularly aimed at more advanced music students and amateur musicians. Each of the three movements represents one temperament (1. sanguine type, 2. melancholic type, 3. choleric type) that needs to be worked out during the rehearsals.
From 1935 to 1939, Günter Habicht (1916–2010) studied with Herbert Viecenz and Boris Blacher (music theory and composition) and with Walther Meyer-Giesow and Ernst Hintze (conducting) at the Dresden Conservatory. In 1951, Günter Habicht taught at an elementary school in Leipzig, and in 1952, he was appointed specialist lecturer for music at the Zentralhaus für Volkskunst. From 1955 to 1981, he was a teacher of music theory and clarinet at the Leipzig City Music School.
