Isaac Watts (1674-1748) wrote the lyrics of There is a land of pure delight and is known as the Father of English Hymnody.
Watts was for the English hymn as Ambrose was for the medieval Latin hymn and what Martin Luther was for the German chorale.
He wrote about 750 songs, and some of them survide the ravahes of time. (Joy To The World, When I survey the wondrous cross, I sing the Mighty Power of God)

There is a Land of Pure Delight is usually in English-speaking areas sung on Luther Orlando Emerson's melody ('Ascription').
Here is used a traditional English melody ('Mendip').

There is a land of pure delight
Wheresaints immortal Reign.
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain .

Isaac Watts (1674-1748) schreef de tekst van ‘There is a land of pure delight’, en staat bekend als de 'Father of English Hymnody' (Vader van het gezang).
Watts was voor het Engelse gezang wat Ambrosius was voor de middeleeuwseLatijnse hymne in de getijden en wat Maarten Luther was voor het Duitse koraal. Hij schreef ongeveer 750 liederen, waarvan een aantal de tand des tijds overleefden. (Joy to the World, When I survey the wondrous cross, I singthe mighty Power of God)

'There is a Land of Pure Delight' wordt in Engelstalige gebieden meestal op een melodie van Luther Orlando Emerson gezongen ('Ascription').
In Nederland is het lied opgenomen in het 'Liedboekder Kerken' (gez. 290). Hier wordt gebruik gemaakt van een Engelse traditionele melodie ('Mendip').

There is a land of pure delight
Where saints immortal reign.
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasuresbanish pain.

Violin & Clarinet Duration: ' Composed: 1972 Published by: Soundspells Productions Includes set of 2 scores The Garden of My Father's House (1973) is a dramatic rhapsody for violin and clarinet duo. The composer wrote the following: I composed THE GARDEN OF MY FATHER'S HOUSE in 1972 in memory of my father, who was my first music teacher. Although he played many instruments and loved to sing, he could not read a note of music. When I was very young he would sing Gypsy songs, Yiddish folk-songs and Rumanian tunes to me and I would play them back on my clarinet, often with ornaments and variations. Sometimes he would accompany me on the piano; he had a few favorite chords which always seemed to pop up no matter what the tune. The piece is a musical ritual, based on a C-sharp drone, or pedal note, that is heard without interruption, across several ranges, throughout the piece. The violin's drone tremolos, often combined with perfect fifths and quarter-tone tunings, imply the key of Csharp minor. The violin part is always rubato — lyrical, expressive and frequently very passionate. But, most importantly, the violin is always tonal. The clarinet, on the other hand, is atonal, its pitches drawn from the twelve-tone row that I used to write my Cycles of Infinities. The style of the clarinet is contemporary, using wide-range intervals, biting accents and unusual instrumental effects, including fluttertonguing and quarter-tone trills. In combining the 'contrasting' roles of the two instruments, I sought to create a musical ritual-game that would draw energy and bits of information from the polarized instruments. The language of the piece calls the listener's attention to the cogent features of both instrumental personalities in a manner that is somewhat similar to the way in which Yiddish combines German and Hebrew. The drone becomes more and more magnetic and begins to join the parts together until they become one in the final C-sharp unison.

Set of parts for Per Nørgård 's En Lys Time / A Light Hour (2008-09) for a variable Percussion Ensemble (min. 10 players).

In A Light Hour everything - rhythms and motifs – is based on Nørgård&acut e;s special infinity series.

Score: WH30964

Programme note

A Light Hour is for ‘any number of percussion musicians’ (but a minimum of ten). The duration is about 60 minutes. The instrumentation is in principle open, as long as percussion is used within the three types specified in the score: skin, metal and wood. Each musicianuses two sound sources with two different sounds, one of which is bright (or light) and the other dark. Certain passages also include tuned percussion instruments – vibraphone, xylophone, marimba, gamelan, glockenspiel, steel drums, crotales and the like. 

The work integrates and combines a number of rhythms that Nørgård has used in percussion works since the 1970s, for example in Early Spring Dance (for choir and percussion), and percussion works like I Ching, Easy Beats, Whirls, Zigzag, Nemo Dynamo and Echo Zone I-II-III. 

Special “tone-feasts” (the composer’s term) – followed by a rest – are an recognizable 
me lodic feature of the work.: the first minute end with a short tone-feast (and a rest), the first four minutes end with a tone-feast lasting a minute (and a rest), the first quarter of an hour ends with a tone-feast of four minutes (and a rest) – and the work ends with a tone-feast lasting quarter of an hour (and a rest, when the work is over ...). 

The first 15 minutes have a bright, light character throughout, and alternate between 
rhythms and melodic play. The following 15 minutes are more insistent and decidedly 
percu ssion-based, Afro-Cuban, whereas the third quarter of A Light Hour moves in the.

Unive rsal Edition presents the last extended version of Boulez' Derive 2 in a 2006 revision. When I reflected on some of Ligeti's compositions, wrote Boulez, I felt the desire to dedicate myself to some almost theoretical research into periodicity in order to systematically examine its overlays, its shifts and its exchange. Tom Service, in The Guardian, describes the work: I had the sense...that although the piece was 45 minutes long, it could either have been 20 minutes or 200 and it wouldn't really have mattered. All of the music you hear in it is based on a single chord (derived - see what I've done there? - from a musical transliteration of the initials of Paul Sacher's name). Everything changes on the surface - there are passages where everything is speeding along vertiginously, which then contract into pools of slower music - but nothing changes underneath. It's a musical world that's completely hermetic and yet infinitely expandable. Weird.

The classic Christmas favourite is given a fantastic swinging makeover in this arrangement by leading Japanese arranger Naohiro Iwai. Your players will absolutely love performing this work that is definitely NOT that same old Christmas arrangement.

Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts schrieb der Amerikaner James Pierpont ein Lied über die bei den Jugendlichen in seiner Heimat beliebten winterlichen Pferdeschlittenrennen. Damals ahnte er wohl nicht, dass das fröhliche Lied, das er One Horse Open Sleigh nannte, bald als das Weihnachtslied Jingle Bells um die ganze Welt gehen würde, wo es heute noch von keinem Weihnachtsfest wegzudenken ist. Naohiro Iwai schrieb dieses gelungene Arrangement für Blasorchester.

Au milieu du XIXe siècle, le compositeur américain James Pierpont compose lâ??un des plus célèbres noëls de tous les temps : Jingle Bells (Vive le Vent). Sur le long chemin blanc de neige, un traîneau glisse joyeusement au son des grelots travers les paysages infinis de glace scintillanteâ?¦

Nel XIX secolo, il compositore americano James Pierpont compone uno dei più celebri brani natalizi di tutti i tempi: Jingle Bells. Un brano immortale, superbamente arrangiato per banda da Naohiro Iwai.

Samsara, Alma Nox is Derek Holden's first solo tuba composition. Musically, the piece explores the biting, vicious quality of the tuba in certain registers at certain dynamics. In the process of exploring this quality of the tuba, the piece has a musical and emotional trajectory that takes the listener from the silent, pitchless depths of the tuba to the most roaring, chaotic heights. From these heights, the piece rapidly cycles back to an area similar to where it began. Although the ending is certainly conclusive, the piece does feel as though it could start itself over, continuing in an infinite, unceasing loop. Samsara, Alma Nox was finished in late 2012 and premiered by Corey Sherman in 2013 at the University of Alabama.

The sky creates a dazzling display of yellows, oranges, and reds, before turning a calm blue, then purple, and finally black. Such sunsets inspired Jan de Haan to write this piece for solo flugelhorn and brass band. It is dedicated to his daughter, Hermanda.

Zonsondergang. De zon verdwijnt langzaam aan de westelijke horizon. De hemel is in rode en oranje kleuren getooid... Deze prachtige aanblik was de inspiratie voor dit ontroerende solowerk voor bugel en brassband. (ook verkrijgbaarvoor hobo en harmonieorkest of bugel en fanfareorkest). Jan de Haan schreef het in de herfst van 2008 en droeg het op aan zijn dochter Hermanda.

Sonnenun tergang: Die Sonne verschwindet langsam am westlichen Horizont. Der Himmel ist in Rot- und Orangetöne getaucht. Dieser oft erlebte, aber immer wieder aufs Neue prachtvolle Anblick bildete die Quelle der Inspiration für ein ruhiges, aber intensives und damit sehr eindrucksvolles Solowerk für Flügelhorn und Brass Band, das Jan de Haan im Herbst 2008 seiner Tochter Hermanda widmete.

Un solo charmant pour bugle que le compositeur a écrit pour sa fille Hermanda, qui joue aussi du bugle.

Il tramonto del sole ispira da sempre pittori, fotografi , scrittori, poeti e anche compositori. Jan de Haan si è lasciato sedurre da questo istante meraviglioso, quando il cielo inventa infinite sfumature di arancio e rosso, su uno sfondo appena visibile di azzurro. Spettacolo grandioso che si ripete da sempre, ma che non finisce mai di stupire. In Sweet Sunset il ruolo principale è affi dato al flicorno.

In The Essence of Youth the composer gives an insight into childhood and youth — inspired by his own daughter. The opening of sparking rhythms, dynamic contrasts and changes of time signature paint a vivid picture of the unpredictability of children. The first and second movements recount the love — and also tension and the worries — in the adult-child bond, through dissonant harmonies but also pretty melodies. The fugue-like ending leads to a final splendid chorale: a picture of proud parents with their child!

In The Essence of Youth geeft de componist zijn visie op de kindertijd en de jeugd. Zijn eigen dochter vormde hierbij een belangrijke inspiratiebron. De opening staat met opgewekte ritmes, dynamische contrasten en maatsoortwisselingenvoor de spontaniteit van kinderen. Het eerste en tweede deel vertellen over de liefde, zorg en toewijding die horen bij een ouder-kindrelatie. Met dissonante harmonieen, maar ook met mooie melodieen weet de componist ditprachtig te verbeelden. Een fuga leidt ten slotte naar een prachtig koraal: de trotse ouders met hun kind verbeeldend.

In The Essence of Youth beschreibt der Komponist sein Bild von Kindheit und Jugend - inspiriert von seiner eigenen Tochter. Die Eroffnung steht mit aufgeweckten Rhythmen, dynamischen Kontrasten, Taktartwechseln für die Unberechenbarkeit von Kindern. Der erste und zweite Satz erzahlen mit dissonanten Harmonien, aber auch mit schonen Melodien von Spannungen, Liebe und Sorge in der Eltern-Kind-Beziehung. Den Schluss bildet eine Fuge, die zu einem prachtvollen Choral führt: ein Bild stolzer Eltern mit ihrem Kind!

Cette composition reflete ce que le compositeur considere comme les caracteristiques typiques de la jeunesse : une melodie eclatante pleine de rythmes vifs, des contrastes dynamiques et des changements de tempi qui se combinent pour symboliser l'energie debordante des enfants, ainsi que la tension entre parents et enfant. Un passage lyrique exprime l'amour parental par des lignes melodiques tres subtiles. Les notes s'egrenent, le charme opere !

The Essence of Youth e un brano che riflette cio che il compositore, ispirato da sua figlia, considera come le caratteristiche tipiche della gioventu. Un'ouverture spettacolare nella quale contrasti dinamici e dai ritmi vivaci si susseguono come a simboleggiare la straordinaria energia dei bambini. Il primo movimento, sulla scia dell'introduzione, anticipa una parte di solo che accompagna al secondo movimento, testimonianza dell'amore infinito dei genitori nei confronti dei figli. Una fuga basata sul tema iniziale contraddistingue il terzo movimento che conduce all'apoteosi finale.

Pian o Music Arranged for Guitar features five early and mid-career compositions by John Cage, dating from 1933 through 1948, all arranged for solo guitar by Aaron Larget-Caplan. The compositions required little adjustment from the originals, mainly in the form of register modifications, and fit very well on the guitar. All phrase and dynamic markings follow the published originals. Very few left and right hand fingerings are included in the publication to allow the performers their own realizations. All of the works retain their original keys and are presented in chronological order:

Three Easy Pieces (Round, Duo, Infinite Cannon)

A Room

Chess Pieces

Dream

In A Landscape

Cage’s exploration of contrapuntal music and simple forms are found early on in works for two voices and the use of unusual phrases lengths. The later works explore modes, resonance, and begin to show influences of Far East aesthetics in their spaciousness and dealings with time.

The collection is only the second work in the Cage Oeuvre to be published featuring the guitar, the first being Larget-Caplan’s arrangement of ‘Six Melodies’ for violin & guitar issued in 2015.

A recording dedicated to John Cage on guitar will be released in 2018 on Stone Records Limited (UK).

The 24 Soul Etudes constitute a kaleidoscope of soulful landscapes nested in human souls depth. These pieces are destined for pianists yearning to express their utter sensitivity and poetry in perfect osmosis with their audiences. These compositions can be savored as chosen flower bouquets in completion of a given piano recitals varied repertoire program by coloring through such sound paintings approaches revealing infinitely cap-tivating atmospheric and evocative universes. Alternatively, they could be presented in their entirety for a total immersion experience combining compelling meditative and reflective daydreamed worlds which lay in each of us. Their performance valorizes the pianist interpreter in a fusional communion with the listener merging both in a transcendental longing into a truly blossomed unison of human feelings.
