Contemporary British composer Brian Kelly has composed a series of place-inspired suites including the Cuban Suite and the New Orleans Suite. The Suite Parisienneâ??s four movements suggest the Paris of years gone by Quartier Latin Promenade Memoire Moulin Rouge in music that shows a deep understanding of brass instruments and a lively sophisticated setting of melodies that are almost but not quite French tunes. The solistic opportunities for each instrument are generously shared and the three livelier movements make a brilliant frame for the longing tone of the Memoire movement.

France 1-This brand-new series is intended as a guide to the keyboard music of the 16th to 19th centuries for pupils of the piano and the harpsichord as well as of other early keyboard instruments.

Each volume includes:- suggestions for stylistically appropriate performance bothon the piano and on period instruments- suggested elaborated versions of some pieces and excerpts- a fold-out list of ornamentation signs and the composers' own tables of ornamentation signs- biographies of the composers and the sources of the pieces- translations of foreign-language performance indications.

1722 And 1725 (Urtext - Paperback). Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. This edition follows the widely popular selection of pieces (often simply known as 'the” Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach) including all items except the technically more challenging French Suites and Partitas, which Bach later reworked and published separately. However, our new publication for the first time incorporates also the relevant items from the earlier book of 1722. It is these smaller and easier pieces in particular which vividly evoke everyday musical life in the Bach household, and which are ideally suited for music-making at home and for use in music teaching./ Répertoire / Piano

Par CAFOLLA ROMA. A modern interpretation of the ancient Dance Suite. Virtuosic writing for the soloist. As a child I was privileged to be introduced to these dances by Ms Watson my ballet teacher. She was an immense talent and explained the nuances and intricacies with care and passion for the subject. 1. Prelude (Allegro) - The introduction to the suite. 2. Allemande (Moderato con moto) An elaborate court dance popular in the 16th century. It is usually followed by the Courante. 3. Courante (Allegro delicato) A dance of french origin. The name is derived from the french word courir to run. Typically in triple time, it features a short up beat. Staccato in nature and lively in performance. 4. Sarabande (Grave patetico) A slow courtly dance in triple time oftenfollowed by a Gigue. 5. Gigue (Vivace Leggiero) A lively baroque dance originating from the Irish jig and imported into France in the mid 17th century. It usually appears at the end of a suite. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Répertoire / Flûte Traversière et Piano

Debussy composed the Petite Suite in 1888 when he was 26. The period up to 1890 was a time in which Debussy's later distinctive impressionistic style has not yet emerged. The Petite Suite shows the influence of the French lyric opera composers Gounod and Massenet as do most of Debussy's pre-1890 compositions. The work could be considered neo-classical because it contains pseudo-dance movements and because of the style of Keyboard writing used through which Debussy pays a kind of homage to the French clavecinists.

Favourtie French Melodies-In creating these dozen arrangements I am unashamedly cherry-picking from a long and rich seam of French music. I feel confident that younger players and those relatively new to the cello will enjoy my selection. Forgive my tongue-in-cheek title for the book French Baguettelles (I'm half French so I don't feel too guilty!) for the music herein has more than a hint of garlic about it. Although there are certainly serious overtones to one or two pieces there is a healthy dollop of silliness to lighten the mood. Apart from Sur la Pont d'Avignon which was reportedly written in the 15th century Frère Jacques which was a popular 18th century song and Tambourin which wasin all probability also written in the 18th century (Gossec did however live well into the 19th century) all of the pieces come from composers who lived in the Romantic period. Ravel and Debussy were of course known for their impressionistic colours though for the most part it is the accompaniments which reveal this characteristic most fully. I have endeavoured to keep the piano parts playable by mere mortals conscious of the fact that cello teachers may not possess a virtuosic piano facility but may nevertheless wish to turn their hand to accompanying pupils for concerts festivals exams etc. Many of the pieces were originally written for the piano either in its solo capacity (Ravel's Pavane Pour une Infante Défunte Chabrier's Idylle Satie's Gymnopedie 1 Debussy's La Fille aux Cheveux de Lin) or in duet form (Fauré's Berceuse from 'Dolly Suite'). Three orchestral pieces Bizet's L'Arlésienne Offenbach's Can-Can and Saint-Saëns's Danse Macabre lend a welcome dramatic overtone to the book while Franck's exquisite Panis Angelicus originally conceived as a choral piece rounds off the selection admirably. In the main it is the cello's capacity for lyricism that has steered my choice of music so really open up your sound and enjoy yourself with these ageless melodies.I wish you bonne chance!Baguette: a thin loaf of

German composer and musician of the Baroque period Johann Sebastian Bach enriched established German styles through his skill in counterpoint harmonic and motivic organisation and the adaptation of rhythms forms and textures from abroad particularly from Italy and France.

Arr. Menno Haantjes. Par DE HAAN JACOB. This playful three-part suite is largely based on symmetry. This of course is largely due to the relations of the arrangement of the themes; however, on the other hand, to the larger structures in form. The first part, (Prelude et Scherzo) has a solemn opening. Followed by it a related scherzo with many changes in time, this too is composed in a symmetrical form. In the second movement, Choral Dorian, the theme of the prelude is reversed and used in chorale in Dorian tonality. The suite comes to a close with Rondo d'Avignon. An annual theatre festival in a French city on the Rhone inspired this suite. It is a lively movement, symmetrically bought to a finish with a repeat of theprelude from the first movement. / Niveau : 2 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Brass Band
