The Library Of Baroque Music is an enormously expansive collection of the greatest works produced during that prolific period that flourished between the Renaissance and Classical eras. All arranged for solo Piano, this volume features works drawn from all the major Baroque composers, including some of the greatest pieces of music ever composed. The progression and development of music during the Baroque period can be heard in these pieces, providing you not only with a window into musical history, but also many exciting additions to your repertoire. The retrospective 'Baroque' label was applied to a diverse range of European compositions-often combining a spirit of experimentation with elaborate new musical structures. Dominated primarily by the Harpsichord and Organ, this period also saw the rise and development of larger-scale forms such as the concerto and oratorio. This superb volume is comprised of Keyboard and ensemble works from all the major Baroque composers, arranged for Piano. Featuring Arne, Boyce, Buxtehude, Corelli, Couperin, Gibbons, Lully, Pachelbel, Purcell, Rameau and Vivaldi, the composers here include some of the most respected and revered figures in musical history. The Library Of Baroque Music spans compositions of many of these masters, ranging from Frescobaldi in the early 1600s to Pergolesi a century later, and the famous three - J.S. Bach, Handel and Domenico Scarlatti.Baroque music, so called for its ornateness, was characterised by a bold exploration of counterpoint and new harmonic possibilities. This was variously expressed through the work of perhaps fifty or so major European composers. By the time Baroque began to segue into a new Classical period around 1750 it had already irrevocably changed and expanded the possibilities of music. The works that precipitated this change are available to play in this single volume, perfect for pianists looking to expand their repertoire with both challenging and exciting music.In this thoroughly enjoyable Library Of Baroque Music, the triumphant progression of this period is illustrated in the best possible way - through the compositions themselves, forming the definitive Baroque collection for solo pianists. / Piano

Pour venir en aide aux guitaristes, nombreux, qui aiment le répertoire baroque mais ne possèdent ni guitare baroque, ni luth baroque, ni théorbe, il était nécessaire de réaliser cet ouvrage. Les danses de la suite française (Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, Menuet, Gavotte, Bourrée, Passacaille, Chaconne, Gigue?) y sont présentées d'abord globalement puis, pour chacune d'elles, on découvre l'origine qui date souvent de la renaissance, la structure rythmique type avec sa dynamique et une évaluation du tempo le plus raisonnable. De nombreux exemples courts (huit premières mesures) ou plus longs (premières parties) permettent de définir un archétype de chaque danse que l'on peut appliquer, à la fin de l'ouvrage, à une ' suite puzzle '. Cette suite est artificiellement construite avec des danses composées par des musiciens différents : Robert de Visée, Francesco Corbetta, François Lecocq, Ludovico Roncalli, Jacques Gallot, Henri Grénerin, Charles Mouton, François Campion? A l'évidence, cette recherche destinée aux guitaristes devrait aussi rendre quelques services à tout instrumentiste amoureux du grand siècle : claveciniste, flûtiste, violoniste, gambiste, etc. / Littérature Musicale

Grades 6-7-Beautifully presented and thoroughly readable 'modern' editions of the best of these pre-Baroque masterpieces. Carefully graded.It has often struck me as intriguing that The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book (a collection of keyboard music spanning the period c.1562-1612) occupies a virtually non-existent place in the literature considered viable by pianists.Needless to say harpsichordists continue to hold the music in the highest esteem while a number of transcriptions for instruments and ensembles have been made available in more recent times. How can it be that this ancient heritage - which in keyboard music terms might be regarded as the equivalent to the DeadSea Scrolls - has hitherto seemed a no-go area for pianists? It is as if the first 'proper' keyboard music tumbled miraculously out of some parallel universe around Bach's time i.e. the first half of the 18th century. While our modern piano is perhaps as different from a virginal as a washing machine is from a mangle there are in fact a good many facets of virginal music which read across perfectly well to today's instruments. For this to be possible we need to take the time to look beyond peculiarities in translation which to a significant extent comes down to issues resulting from burgeoning notational practices. It also becomes necessary to re-imagine the music in light of what is possible as well as what is desirable. Problems with accessing the sound-world of pre-Baroque keyboard music can be overcome quite easily just as it is possible to become better in resonance with avant garde musical styles given appropriate immersion. Since the writing of the performance notes to The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book more than a century ago (by J.A. Fuller Maitland and W. Barclay Squire) the momentum generated by the Early Music Revival has brought about immeasurable insights into the intentions of Renaissance and Baroque composers. Performances on period instruments continue to reacquaint us with a bygone age and stimulate a healthy fascination for the

Par VIVALDI / VEILHAN. As one of the great Baroque composers, Antonio Vivaldi 's (1678-1741) compositions remain hugely popular to this day. The Four Seasons is his best-known work and therefore, Jean-Claude Veilhan 's transcription for Recorder was well-received for making the highly acclaimed work more accessible. Vivaldi 's Four Seasons were originally published in 1725 as a Violin Concerto. Each movement's texture varies depending on which season it depicts. Veilhan 's adaption for Recorder includes articulation, phrasing and performance directions necessary to the instrument.
