In late August of 2005, the normally festive skies over the city of New Orleans began to change. As Hurricane Katrina approached the city, the skies promised a weather event of unprecedented proportions. Composer Robert W. Smith was commissioned by the United State Marine Forces Reserve Band of New Orleans to create this symphonic tone poem recreating and commemorating the Katrina experience. Beginning with Blue Sky, the jazz of the historic city provides the musical inspiration. Soon, the Threatening Sky arrives giving way to the Raging Sky. Finally, the Dawn of a New Sky brings hope as the city is reborn to share its musical gifts once again. Promising Skies is large work for concert band at the medium advanced level. Using the American art form of jazz as its base along with unusual percussive effects, the piece is a unique and welcome contribution to the repertoire.

Every year, an important question never fails to arise during violin lessons: can beginners already take part in the performance of Christmas carols? Now the answer is: Yes, they can! thanks to the 35 pieces in Weihnacht voller Lichterglanz (The Bright Lights of Christmas). Eva-Maria Neumann, the author of the well-known Geigenschule (Violin Method) has arranged not only popular German carols, but also pieces from the Nordic countries, Russia, France, Spain and South America as well, and included free arrangements of instrumental Christmas music (Manfredini, Corelli, Haydn) in her collection. The book is arranged according to types of fingering in the first two parts. Sixteen carols are particularly well-suited to beginners who have only just begun learning their instrument. Their accompanying part is to be played only on open strings. Furthermore, all pieces have at least one part in the first position. Thus all violinists can contribute to a memorable Christmas of shared music-making.

The book is arranged according to types of fingering in the first two parts. Sixteen carols are particularly well-suited to beginners who have only just begun learning their instrument.

In Al Schmitt on Vocal and Instrumental Recording Techniques, legendary producer and engineer Al Schmitt takes us into the studio and shares his process of selecting a microphone and shows us how to get the best sounds. Considerations such as song style, instrumentation, and the recording space itself are taken into account when making mic choices and determining the best placement for each. Schmitt demonstrates how to achieve the best sounds for a number of instruments – including drums, bass, piano, guitars (both acoustic and electric), organs, and horns – across many genres of music. Drawing on decades of experience in the studio, Schmitt brings a unique and invaluable perspective to not only making mic choices and their placement, but also the importance of interacting with musicians – taking their vision and preferences into account to create the most comfortable and effective recording experience for all involved. Also featured in Vocal and Instrumental Recording Techniques is an interview of Schmitt conducted by fellow METAlliance producer and engineer Ed Cherney.

Banned after Tristan world premiere The year 1865 held its fair share of highs and lows for Richard Wagner. The artistic high point was the much-acclaimed Munich world premiere of Tristan, which had been considered unplayable up to then. Wagner also envisioned a music and art school in Munich, as well as a festival theater on the River Isar. King Ludwig II was thus his most important correspondent in this year, as Wagner described his projects to his royal patron in great detail. By the end of the year, however, public pressure against the composer had taken on such dimensions that Ludwig had to banish him from Bavaria. Wagner left the Bavarian capital for Switzerland...

Trumpet and organ - intermediate to advanced

SKU: HL.49017930

Composed by Robert M. Helmschrott. This edition: Saddle stitching. Sheet music. Brass. 40 pages. Duration 8'. Schott Music #ED20338. Published by Schott Music (HL.49017930).

ISBN 9790001150774. 9.0x12.0x0.153 inches.

Robert Helmschrott, born in 1938, was professor at the Munich Musikhochschule where he was also headmaster from 1995-2003. He wrote numerous choral and orchestral works and is one of the most important German representatives of contemporary church music. His work 'Salut' is a one-movement concert piece which is rewarding for both players. After a lengthy introduction for solo trumpet, both instruments present fireworks of brilliant idiomatic figurations, yet also make sure that pensive, lyrical tones get their fair share too. A rewarding concert piece of ca. 8 minutes' duration.
