Anto ine Favre (c.1670–c.1739), was a composer of rare ability whose few surviving collections, all published during the 1730s, have hitherto remained unknown not only to performers but also to the majority of scholars. His second book of sonatas for violin and basso continuo (the first is lost) contains six substantial five-movement works suited equally to concert performance and domestic enjoyment. Players will relish their variety of expression, embracing both the Italian and French styles, and formal sophistication, as well as their harmonic resourcefulness, contrapuntal ingenuity and idiomatic instrumental writing.

Up to today Adolf Busch's compositions have had only a marginal place in the world literature canon, though they have recently been rediscovered, newly published and recorded. His chief works consist of chamber music, lieder, and orchestral pieces, but he also wrote a quantity of interesting piano music (about enough to fill a CD) showing various stylistic characteristics. His sonata Op. 25, the most extensive masterpiece in this genre, has now been made available in the present edition, suitable for both professional performers and advanced amateur pianists. Breitkopf are to be congratulated for mining the vaults to bring us such lesser-known gems from the archives of the German romantic tradition. Busch's 'Sonata' reveals itself to be as enjoyable as it is formidable. (www.pianodao.com)

Adolf Busch is primarily considered one of the most important German violinists of the 20th century. Equally successful as a soloist and chamber musician, he founded the world famous Busch Quartet. The fact, that he was also an extremely prolific and accomplished composer besides being a virtuoso is relatively little known.

Seren ata is a first-year band piece with a Latin dance flavor. It is an excellent study in independent part-playing for young bands. Balance is crucial among the following parts:1. Percussion must be steady and not overpowering. The cowbell should be played with a mallet or stick that will prevent its sound from being dominant in the percussion section.2. The bass line will require a delicate staccato articulation.3. Clarinets and horns must play the ostinato beginning at m. 5 in two- or four-measure phrases. This line must always feel unbroken.4. Trumpets must also use a delicate staccato at m. 17. Straight mutes are a nice touch if the section is big enough. Cup mutes are even better. A small trumpet section may play open.5. Flutes and alto saxes should always play legato when carrying the melody.The contrasting middle section, beginning at m. 28, should be articulated smoothly by the whole band. The alternating melodic lines should have tonal contrast, but should be the same dynamically. The bass line should fade into the background at this point.A first-year band can play Serenata for their Spring Concert.Thank you for choosing this selection. I hope you and your students find it instructive and enjoyable.

Soli SA, Coro SATB, [Ob], 2 Vl, 2 Va, Bc

Composed by Antonio Vivaldi. Edited by Gregory Pysh. Arranged by Andrea Tasler. Stuttgart Urtext Edition: Vivaldi-Archiv. Viola 2. Sacred vocal music, Mass sections. Single Part, Viola 2. RV 592. Duration 13 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 40.009/14. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.4000914).

ISBN 9790007248024. Language: Latin.

It is often overlooked that Antonio Vivaldi was not only skilled at composing instrumental music, but that he also experimented with long-established forms of sacred vocal music with equal sensitivity and enjoyment. The publication of a critical edition of his less well-known Credo RV 592 makes one of these works available to a wider public. Credo - Credo - Credo; almost every musical section begins with this devout confession, thus breaking through the grammatical structure of a long-established text; perhaps this was an entirely personal confession of faith, not only of the red-haired priest (Il Prete Rosso), as Vivaldi was known, but also a reminder that despite a well-established structure, not everything is predestined. Score and part available separately - see item CA.4000900.

Tedd y-Bear's Waltz - in this enjoyable little waltz you can imagine a teddy-bear trying to dance - a little bit clumsy, but with a certain elegance. This composition fosters the study of changing finger patterns, key signatures and small glissandi. While the parts of violin 1, viola 1 and cello 1 include challenging passages (cello-part up to the 4th position), the parts of violin 2, viola 2 and cello 2 can be played by students in the first or second year of learning the instrument. Technique required: Vl. 1 and 2: all finger patterns in the 1st position Vla. 1 and 2: all finger patterns in the 1st position Cl. 1: 1st - 4th position. This part can also be played by the Viola 1 (in 1st position) Cl. 2: closed (regular) 1st position DB.: 1st position.

About Build-A-Band Series

The Build-A-Band Series provides educational and enjoyable music for bands with incomplete or unbalanced instrumentation. Written using just four or five parts (plus percussion), these effective arrangements will work with any combination of brass, woodwind, string and percussion instruments as long as you distribute the parts so that each of the five parts is covered. All of the publications in the Build-A-Band Series have been arranged to be playable with any instrumentation as long as each part is used: 1st Part, 2nd Part, 3rd Part, 4th Part, and Bass Part. (Please note: In some of these arrangements the 4th Part, and the Bass Part are the same, making it possible to play those arrangements with only 4 parts.)
