There is still much to discover in Sibelius oeuvre: with the first volume of the choral works, the Complete Edition is now opening up a new chapter. The Finnish composers many little a cappella choral pieces are still hardly known beyond the borders of Finland and Sweden. They are often very simple pieces that consciously seek the proximity of the folk song. Thanks to the complete CD recording of Sibelius works, we are able to listen to everything he wrote, and the white spots still found on the Sibelius map have been livened up with little splashes of color. Its time to discover these Northern Lights!

Diese Liedersammlung wurde erstellt, um vielfaltiges Material zu Ubungen im Harmonisieren und anderen Tonsatzdisziplinen zu bieten. Daher werden einfache Volksliedinteressenten Harmonisierungshinweise wie Akkordsymbole oder gar mehrstimmige Satze - wie sie landlaufige Sammlungen bieten - vergeblich darin suchen. Die Auswahl fusst in ihrer Mannigfaltigkeit auf Sammlungen, die Paul Schenk vor etwa 50 Jahren seinen Banden ,,Funktioneller Tonsatz und ,,Schule des musikalischen Horens beifugte. Wie bei Schenk sind den bekanntesten deutschen Volksweisen solche an die Seite gestellt, die aus formalen oder anderen musikalischen Grunden fur den Unterricht besonders interessant erschienen. Die Weisen der vorliegenden Sammlung konnen als Anschauungs- und Ubungsobjekte verschiedener musikalischer Ausbildungsdisziplinen dienen: der Formenlehre, der Horerziehung, der Harmonielehre, der Kontrapunktlehre, dem Arrangieren, der Improvisation und - nicht zuletzt - der musikalischen Erbauung und Allgemeinbildung.

Gunter 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 & Hartel 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, Gunter 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, Gunter Habicht taught at an elementary school in Leipzig, and in 1952, he was appointed specialist lecturer for music at the Zentralhaus fur Volkskunst. From 1955 to 1981, he was a teacher of music theory and clarinet at the Leipzig City Music School.

These two books of piano pieces arranged in progressive order of difficulty are the first collection to give a representative survey of contemporary Greek music. No pretensions of completeness are being made. The piece by Skalkottas is the only one that has been published before, and I am indebted to the Universal Edition, Vienna, for their kind permission to republish it.The younger generation of Greek composers have turned away from their national folklore, which is in evidence in just a few works only as a latent force. Some of the composers were introduced to modern techniques by the outstanding teacher Jannis A. Papaioannou and have gone abroad to complete their knowledge of the latest methods and to integrate them into their personal style. Older composers like Poniridy and Konstantinidis are represented by works of artfully stylized folk music.I should like to acknowledge the advice and help given to me by my friend and colleague Jannis A. Papaioannou, as well as to the American Director of the Gennadeios Library, Francis R. Walton, for generously providing the manuscript of the piece by Mitropoulos. (Gunther Becker).

In his Slavonic Dances Op. 46, Dvorak did not draw on pre-existent music, but created something original and new, projecting his own compositional will into the creative process. What we hear are Dvoraks melodies,and that it is due to his creative will that he cast them as in Dance 3, for example in the form of a melodic four-tone model which is common to many folk songs and childrens songs. Finally, it is his rhythmic invention and shaping of the musical character of each dance that breathe life into the elements of Slavonic dance music.
