Harr i Wessman (b. 1949) is interested in all aspects of music that may be expressive, without in any way ignoring the possibilities of melody. He himself describes his harmonic method as a kind of contrapuntally treated jazz harmony. During recent years pedagogic music has become a more and more central area in his output with an emphasis on creating repertoire for budding musicians, from beginners to young professionals. I don't write children's music. Stylistically I write in the same way as for professionals; technically, the pieces just have to be easier to play. Concertino No. 2 for piano and chamber orchestra was commissioned by a Finnish press house Yhtyneet Kuvalehdet Oy for the inauguration of their new office building in 1987. According to the original plan the concertino was to be used in an advertising film of the company. A melody with wide arch which can be heard in the midpoint of the piece, first played by the orchestra and then repeated with the piano, was intended to be the theme song of the film. The 10 minutes duration and small orchestra (flute, oboe, clarinet and strings) makes this one movement piece suitable also for young orchestra players.

Hungarian-English-Germ an-French.

This selection is intended to reveal a less-known aspect of the genius of Franz Liszt, the greatest pianist of the 19th century: as a master of piano miniatures. While his large-scale works written over many years show Liszt as a striving composer for whom the creative process was difficult, at the same time, hidden in the shadow of the monumental peaks, the 'moments musicaux' tend to capture him in the process of improvisation, at the moment when a compositional idea flashed into his mind and was first noted down. The miniatures that feature in our selection trace his creative path through six decades (1827-1885), from his youthful testing of his wings right up to his finalfarewell. The manuscript of any piece that did not later become part of a cycle or the starting-point for a larger-scale composition generally remained in the mists of obscurity as a treasured memento preserved by one of his pupils or admirers.

Diese Auswahl will eine weniger bekannte Seite FranzLiszt, des größten Klaviergenies des 19. Jahrhunderts, diedes Meisters der Klavierminiaturen vorstellen. Seine übereinen langen Zeitraum vieler Jahre entstandenen Werke,wie die Klavierkonzerte, symphonische Werke oder dasChristus Oratorium, zeigen ihn als mit sich kämpfenden und schwer schaffenden Komponisten. Nicht so, die imSchatten der monumentalen Kompositionen stehenden 'moments 'usicaux“. Diese halten Liszt im Momentder Improvisation fest, lassen die kompositorischen Ideenin ihrem ersten Aufleuchten erstarren. Die Miniaturendieser Auslese führen durch die sechs Jahrzehnte seinerschöpferischen Laufbahn (1827-1885),beginnend beiden Versuchen der Jugendzeit bis zum letzten Abschied.Die Manuskripte der Stücke, die später nicht Teil einesZyklus oder Anfangspunkt einer großangelegten Kompositionwurden, versanken im Dunkel der Unbekanntheit.

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 2

Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Alfred Reed. Young Band. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 1996. Curnow Music #CMP 0075-96-010. Published by Curnow Music (BT.CMP-0075-96-010).

This Christmas carol of ancient European origin begins O Sanctissima and was intended as a tribute to the virgin Mary. A 19th-century translation by Falk gave us the words O How Joyfully that are typically associated with this carol. In addition to its colorful history, this carol has a very warm and expressive character. In this setting by Alfred Reed, the lilting melody is interwoven with a heroic trumpet counter-melody.

Das Weihnachtslied O du fröhliche ist sehr alt und war ursprünglich einmal ein Lied zu Ehren der Jungfrau Maria. Sein warmherziger und ausdrucksvoller Charakter machen es bis heute zu einem der bekanntesten und beliebtesten Lieder der Weihnachtszeit. Alfred Reed verwob in seiner Bearbeitung die fröhliche Melodie mit einer heroischen Trompeten-Gegenstimme und schuf so einen einfachen, aber wirkungsvollen Programmpunkt für das nächste Weihnachtskonzert.

O du fröhliche (Ô nuit bienveillante) est un des plus célèbres noëls allemands. Sa mélodie s’inspire d’un air traditionnel sicilien qui accompagne la prière O Sanctissima, une prière chantée et dédiée la Vierge Marie. En 1816, Johannes Daniel Falk écrit un texte allemand. C’est désormais sous la forme d’un chant de Noël que la prière effectuera le tour du monde. La version d’Alfred Reed reste fidèle la beauté du thème original.

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau kann man ohne Einschrankung zu den herausragenden Sangern in der Nachkriegsgeschichte zahlen. Er verdankt diese Einschatzung jedoch nicht allein seiner unverwechselbaren Bariton-Stimme, die den Kunstler so charakteristisch hervorhebt: er fasziniert durch die Art des Vortrags, durch die Intensitat, mit der er gleichermassen Opernpartien wie auch geistliche Werke und Lieder gestaltet und damit vom Zuhorer stehts das Ausserste an Konzentration fordert. Fischer-Dieskau kennt keine Beschrankung des Repertoires; ihm ist bis hin zur zeitgenossischen Musik, die er oft genug mit aus der Taufe heben half, nichts unerschlossen geblieben.Auf der Grundlage von Interviews schildert dieses Buch den kunstlerischen Werdegang des Sangers, vermittelt Einsichten in die Ernsthaftigkeit seines interpretatorischen Ansatzes und in Fragen des Spiel- bzw. Konzertbetriebes und behandelt Fragen des Repertoires. Ein tabellarischer Lebenslauf, zahlreiche Abbildungen und diskographische Hinweise schaffen ein lebendiges Bild des Kunstlers und Menschen Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.

UPC: 841300102434. 19.0x21.0x9.0 inches.

The euphonia produces a euphoric sound with the clarity of digital and the richness of analog that's never been heard from a DJ mixer before. To deliver a clearer sound quality that accurately reproduces the expression of the music, the euphonia uses high-quality 32-bit A/D and D/A converters as well as 96kHz/64 bit floating point mixing processing operations in the DSP, utilizing the digital signal processing technology AlphaTheta has developed over many years. All sound coming out of the euphonia passes through a transformer circuit co-designed by AlphaTheta and Rupert Neve Designs, the legendary makers of outstanding analog audio circuitry and mixing desks revered by artists and sound engineers around the world. This transformer circuit, tuned specifically for the euphonia, adds harmonics to the music and creates a glossy and energetic sound that's smoother for mixing. Low frequencies such as kicks and bass are more stable and punchy, mid frequencies like vocals and instruments have more presence and gloss, and high frequencies such as hi-hats sound silky and natural. The transformer breaks down the barrier between vintage live and modern electric sounds, making mixing easier and surprisingly natural, as if recordings in different styles were orginally one piece of music. When you touch the faders on the euphonia, you won't want to let go. To enhance its intuitive mixing experience, the unit is loaded with rotary faders that feature a brand-new carefully developed design to give you the feeling that you and the mixer are one. After extensive testing, the perfect knob sizers were chosen, with an elastomer applied to the outer circumference of each to ensure a comfortable and reliable grip as well as a high level of vibration absorption. The uniquely developed mechanism for the faders also benefits from optimum weighting. You'll notice a difference in the feel of the knobs when you turn them at different speeds, as a smooth load is applied when you turn a knob slowly for delicate fine-tuning and a limited load level is applied when you turn the knob quickly to instantly reach your intended volume level. And the fader volume curves have been optimized through feedback from numerous DJs, enabling smooth and natural mixing without equalizing, so you can concentrate on volume control. This innovative fader allows for musical expression that will move your audience and enhance your performance. Get an instant visual grasp of the status of your mix and the balance of tack volume levels by glancing at the euphonia's Energy Visualizer. Conventional VU meters only have 1 needle meter, making it difficult for DJs to graps multiple channel levels at the same time. But the euphonia's uniquely developed Mix Level Meter features a needle meter for each channel so you can visually check the levels for all channels and mix smoothly.

9x12 inches.

Missa Brevis, written for choir and wind band, was commissioned by the Conseil Départemental pour la Musique et la Culture de Haute-Alsace (Dir.: Philippe Pfisterer) in Guebwiller (France), in celebration of the millennium of Pope Leon IX’sbirth in Éguisheim (France). The composer conducted the first performance on June 23, 2002. It was performed live for the French television channel France 2. The mass movements Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictus, and Agnus Deiare very suitable for the Catholic as well as the Protestant liturgy. For this mass, various ways for performing in diverse variable strengths are possible. An instrumental performance is possible if the brass represents the choir parts. In thisoption, it is desirable for the brass to be positioned separately from the rest of the band (on a gallery, for example), so that the idea of two choirs is approached. In a performance with a large choir, the brass can work very well as a support. Inthat case, the dynamics of the brass should be adapted somewhat, since these are actually intended for an instrumental performance. You can also leave out the brass entirely for the benefit of the choir. For the accompaniment of smaller choirs, youcan opt for a small ensemble from the band. This can also be a quartet, put together as desired. For the performance of this mass, the obvious choice is one of the above options. However, as an alternative, a performance with a combination of theseoptions (vocally/instrumentally) is also possible not just from an artistic point of view (variation), but also from a practical starting point for example in the case that the choir has rehearsed only two movements. With a full strength, theconductor can vary the instrumentation to his or her liking. Then the brass can also play a role in the accompaniment (instead of supporting the choir). The following combinations are possible:
1. clarinet choir (from Eb Clarinet to BassClarinet)
2. clarinet choir + saxophones
3. brass (flugelhorns, horns, euphoniums, bass section)
4. brass (2 trumpets / 2 trombones)
5. double reeds (optional + flute, optional + string bass)
6. tutti
7. all winds
8. allbrass
In a performance by brass band and choir, it is usually advisable to leave out option 1 (choir + brass + band). The choir sings self-reliantly, accompanied by a full brass band. In an instrumental performance, you can consider a combinedquartet (two cornets and two trombones) + brass band.
Choral parts available separately.

Mis sa Brevis, geschreven voor koor en blaasorkest, werd gecomponeerd in opdracht van de Conseil Départemental pour la Musique et la Culture de Haute-Alsace (dir. Philippe Pfisterer) in Guebwiller (Frankrijk), ter gelegenheid van het duizendstegeboortejaar van paus Leo IX. In zijn geboorteplaats, Éguisheim (Elzas, Frankrijk), vond op 23 juni 2002 de première van deze mis plaats onder leiding van de componist. Het betrof een live-registratie voor de Franse televisiezender France 2. Demisdelen Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictus en Agnus Dei lenen zich uitstekend voor zowel de katholieke als de protestantse liturgie. Er zijn voor deze mis diverse uitvoeringsmogelijkheden mogelijk, aangezien er sprake is van eenvariabele bezetting. Een instrumentale uitvoering behoort uitdrukkelijk tot de mogelijkheden, indien het scherp koper de koorpartijen vertegenwoordigt. In deze optie is het wenselijk dat het scherp koper zich separaat opstelt van de rest van hetorkest (bijvoorbeeld op een galerij), zodat het idee van dubbelkorigheid wordt benaderd. Bij een uitvoering voor groot koor werkt het scherp koper zeer goed als ondersteuning. In dat geval kan de dynamiek van het koper iets worden aangepast,aangezien deze in eerste instantie bedoeld is voor een instrumentale versie. Ook kan men ervoor kiezen het scherp koper helemaal weg te laten ten gunste van het koor. Bij begeleiding van kleinere koren kan men kiezen voor een klein ensemble uit hetorkest. Dit kan ook een naar wens samengesteld kwartet zijn. Voor de uitvoering van deze mis ligt het voor de hand een van deze opties te kiezen. Als alternatief is echter ook een uitvoering mogelijk met een combinatie van deze opties (vocaal/instrumentaal) niet slechts vanuit een artistiek motief (afwisseling), maar ook vanuit een praktisch motief, voor het geval dat het koor bijvoorbeeld slechts twee delen heeft ingestudeerd. Bij een volledige bezetting kan de dirigent deinstrumentatie naar believen afwisselen. Hierbij kan ook het scherp koper in de begeleiding een rol krijgen (in plaats van ondersteuning van het koor). Zo zijn de volgende combinaties mogelijk:

1. clarinet choir (van Es-klarinet tot basklarinet)

2. clarinet choir + saxofoons

3. zacht koper (bugels, hoorns, euphoniums, bassen)

4. scherp koper (2 trompetten / 2 trombones)

5. dubbelrieten (eventueel + fluit, eventueel + contrabas)

6. tutti

7. alle hout

8. alle koper

In een uitvoering voor brassband en koor is het in de meeste gevallen aan te bevelen de optie voor scherp koper weg te laten. Het koor zingt zelfstandig, begeleid door een volledige brassband. In een instrumentale uitvoering kunt u denken aan eencombinatiekwartet (twee cornetten en twee trombones) + brassband.Koorpartijen apart verkrijgbaar.

M issa Brevis, geschrieben für Chor und Blasorchester entstand im Auftrag des Conseil Départemental pour la Musique et la Culture de Haute-Alsace (Dir.: Philippe Pfisterer) in Guebwiller (Frankreich), anlässlich des tausendjährigen Jubiläumsder Geburt von Papst Leo IX in Éguisheim. Der Komponist dirigierte die Uraufführung am 23. Juni 2002. Sie wurde live vom französischen Fernsehen France 2 übertragen. Die Messesätze Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictus und Agnus Deieignen sich ausgezeichnet sowohl für die katholische als auch die protestantische Liturgie. Diese Messe kann in diversen variablen Spielstärken aufgeführt werden. Eine Instrumentalaufführung ist möglich, wenn das Blech die Chorstimme übernimmt.Um der Idee von zwei Chören in dieser Variante möglichst gerecht zu werden, empfiehlt es sich, das Blechregister getrennt vom Rest des Blasorchesters aufzustellen (beispielsweise auf einer Galerie). In einer Aufführung mit einem großen Chor kann dasBlechregister sehr gut als Unterstützung dienen. In diesem Fall sollten die Dynamikangaben der Blechbläser etwas angepasst werden, da sie ja eigentlich für eine Instrumentalaufführung gedacht sind. Man kann zugunsten des Chors auch völlig auf dasBlech verzichten. Zur Begleitung kleinerer Chöre können Sie ein kleines Ensemble aus dem Blasorchester wählen. Dies könnte auch ein Quartett in beliebiger Zusammensetzung sein. Für die Aufführung dieser Messe bietet sich eine der oben genanntenVarianten an. Eine Kombination dieser Wahlmöglichkeiten (vokal/instrumental) ist jedoch auch möglich und das nicht nur vom künstlerischen Standpunkt aus betrachtet (zur Abwechslung), sondern auch aus praktischen Erwägungen beispielsweise, wennder Chor nur zwei Sätze einstudiert hat. In voller Besetzung kann der Dirigent die Instrumentierung nach Belieben variieren. Dann können die Blechbläser auch eine Rolle in der Begleitung übernehmen (anstatt den Chor zu unterstützen). Die folgendenKombinationen sind möglich:

1. Klarinettenchor (von Klarinette in Es bis Bassklarinette)

2. Klarinettenchor + Saxophone

3. Blech (Flügelhorn, Horn, Euphonium, Bassregister)

4. Blech (2 Trompeten / 2 Posaunen)

5. Doppelrohrblattinstrument e (wahlweise + Flöte, wahlweise + Kontrabass)

6. Tutti

7. Alle Holzbläser

8. Alle Blechbläser

In einer Aufführung mit Brass Band und Chor ist es gewöhnlich ratsam, nicht die erste Option (Chor + Blech + Blasorchester) zu wählen. Der Chor singt unabhängig, begleitet von einer vollständigen Brass Band. In einer Instrumentalaufführung könnenSie sich für ein kombiniertes Quartett (zwei Kornette und zwei Posaunen) + Brass Band entscheiden. Chorstimmen separat erhältlich.

Missa Brevis est une messe pour Orchestre d’Harmonie et Choeur composée la demande du Conseil Départemental pour la Musique et la Culture de Haute-Alsace (Dir. : Philippe Pfisterer) de Guebwiller en France, l’occasion des célébrations dumillénaire de la naissance du Pape Léon IX Éguisheim. La création mondiale a eu lieu le 23 juin 2002 sous la direction du compositeur, et a été diffusée en direct sur la chaîne de télévision nationale France 2. Les différentes parties de cettemesse (Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictus et Agnus Dei) conviennent autant la liturgie catholique qu’ la liturgie protestante. Missa Brevis peut être interprétée dans différentes combinaisons instrumentales. Ellepeut être jouée dans une version purement instrumentale, où les cuivres prennent en charge la partie vocale. En tel cas, il est conseillé de placer les cuivres l’écart de la formation (sur une estrade, par exemple) de façon reproduire l’idée dedeux groupes indépendants. Dans le cadre d’une interprétation avec un grand Choeur, les cuivres jouent un rôle de soutien. Leurs nuances doivent alors être adaptées dans la mesure où elles ont été écrites, l’origine, pour une version instrumentale.Il est également possible de ne pas faire intervenir les cuivres et de privilégier le Choeur. Pour accompagner de petits ensembles vocaux, il faut opter pour une formation instrumentale réduite voire même un Quatuor (instrumentation au choix). Pourl’interprét ation de cette messe l’un des choix proposés ci-dessus s’impose. Il existe néanmoins une alternative qui consiste interpréter cette oeuvre en combinant ces options (vocales / instrumentales). Cela peut être bénéfique tant d’un point devue artistique (variante) que pratique dans le cas où le Choeur n’a travaillé que deux mouvements de la messe. Si le chef dispose de deux formations complètes (Choeur et Orchestre d’Harmonie), il peut varier l’instrumentation selon ses préférences. ce moment-l , il peut confier un rôle d’accompagnement et non de soutien aux cuivres de sa formation. Les combinaisons suivantes peuvent être formées :

1. Choeur de Clarinettes (de la Clarinette Mib la Clarinette Basse)

2. Choeur de Clarinettes + Saxophones

3. Cuivres (Bugles, Cors, Barytons / Euphoniums, Basses)

4. Cuivres (2 Trompettes / 2 Trombones)

5. Instruments anches doubles (Fl te et Contrebasse cordes optionnelles)

6. Tutti

7. Tous les Bois

8. Tous les Cuivres

Dans le cadre d’une interprétation par un Brass Band accompagné d’un Choeur, il est préférable de supprimer l’option 1 (Choeur + Cuivres + Orchestre d’Harmonie) car le Choeur étant autonome. Dans une version instrumentale pour Cuivres, il estpossible de former la combinaison suivante : Quatuor (2 Cornets / 2 Trombones) et Brass Band.Partitions pour chœur disponibles séparément.

Parti per coro disponibili a parte.

Composed by Josquin Desprez. Edited by Ross Duffin. Published by Fennica Gehrman (FG.55009-452-9).

ISBN 979-0-55009-452-9.

This is one of three early renaissance Marian motets, along with Mouton's Nesciens Mater and de la Rue's Gaude Virgo, edited by Ross Duffin. It is a classic example of this great composer's balanced unfolding of motifs, with two-part paired imitation followed by four-voice imitative sections and punctuations in homophony. Especially, striking is the personal supplication at the end, in the words O rnater dei, memento mei. Fazer Editions of Early Music is a choral series under the editorial supervision of Paul Hillier, founder and artistic director of the renowned Hilliard Ensemble. Although each title in this series is the result of careful scholarly research and is a reliable source for musicologists, the series' main purpose is to make practical performing editions available to choirs and other vocal ensembles. The original C clefs have been replaced by G and F clefs and the note values adapted to conform to modern practice. All the works in the series are intended for mixed voices. Each title includes a lengthy introduction in English and notes on the editorial principles. Where necessary, an English translation of the text and a guide to pronunciation are provided.

Dessau's String Quartet movement was written while he was also working on Brecht's opera Puntila. After Brecht's death in 1956 Dessau found himself looking for a new direction. On the one hand he was still working on music begun in collaboration with the poet, while on the other hand Dessau was trying to work towards a socially oriented musical aesthetic, which led him to compose songs for political purposes. Even this Quartet movement does not owe its inspiration purely to an artistic vision. In spite of its technical demands, the piece is intended to be comprehensible and could even be played by an amateur ensemble in its cleverly reduced form. Only discovered after the composer's death, the Movement for String Quartet is published for the first time in this edition.
