“Wolf gang Amadeus Mozart's (1756-1791) Serenade in C minor was written by the composer in 1782-83. The work remains widely performed by Wind Octets, making it one of the most significant, substantial works in the wind ensemble repertoire. David Walter's transcription of Serenade in C minor, also known as Serenade No. 12, is for Wind Quintet, making the popular work even more accessible and versatile. Serenade in C minor comprises four movements; 1) Allegro, 2) Andante, 3) Menuet and Trio, and 4) Allegro. This edition of Mozart's Serenade in C minor for Wind Quintet is essential to all ensembles looking for exciting, yet traditional repertoire.&rdquo.

Piano

SKU: ST.Y219

Composed by Rhian Samuel. Score. Stainer & Bell Ltd. #Y219. Published by Stainer & Bell Ltd. (ST.Y219).

ISBN 9790220221415.

Musi c for two pianos is among the most satisfying of collaborative genres, and Rhian Samuel has caught its spirit of verve and playfulness in her new Serenade Duo. Repartee between the pianists drives this effervescent score from mysterious beginnings, in which the serenade alternates with fleet, toccata-like material, through crosstalk growing ever more boisterous until the serenade itself is heard in a singing statement 'molto rubato'. An up-tempo conclusion in a flurry of scales returns enigmatically to the mood of the opening. Serenade Duo is of just over five minutes' duration, and was premiered by Dimitris Barydis and Petros Moschos on 13 February 2005 at the Purcell Room.

Op. 44. Composed by Antonin Dvorak. Edited by Dominik Rahmer. Henle Music Folios. Classical. Softcover. G. Henle #HN1234. Published by G. Henle (HL.51481234).

When Dvorák wrote his Serenade for 10 winds and 2 lower strings in January 1878, the heyday of the great wind serenades and “Harmoniemusik† wind ensembles was already long gone. He was probably inspired by hearing Mozart's Gran Partita shortly beforehand in Vienna. The home key of d minor here is striking, as is the often serious, even tragic atmosphere that repeatedly darkens the otherwise cheerful mood that is typical of the serenade genre. Perhaps this was a reaction to the death of two of his children just a few months earlier. Despite the work's dramatic character - or perhaps because of it - Dvorák's Serenade was taken up in many European cities soon after its first performance in Prague, and fêted as a significant contribution to the chamber music repertoire for wind instruments. The autograph sources in Prague have been consulted for this Urtext edition. The parts are printed with player-friendly page divisions, perfect page-turning opportunities, and practical alternative parts in F for the three horns.

Writt en in 1998, Pacific Serenade is a “peaceful serenade:” serenade as in: romantic, quasi improvised music which should be sung at night under the stars. The main “singer” here is the clarinet. In general the music is extremely quiet, delicate, sensuous and sentimental. The sensuousness is created by Latin song elements especially the nostalgic Brazilian folk song, which is at times combined with Blues style melody and harmony. The string quartet has a technically expressively challenging part which is not merely the accompaniment to the clarinet, but rather it is responsible for setting the mood in which the clarinet sings. This is Aguila’s opus 59 and it was commissioned by Pacific Serenades Ensemble of California who premiered the work in 1998. Of course the ensemble's name inspired the name of this work as well as its mood. In an age of boom boxes, media bombardment of information and pop culture becoming increasingly aggressive, boisterous and violent, I felt the need to write just the opposite… to show once more that less is more. -- Miguel del Aguila.

ISBN 9790570814954.

The Wind Serenade Op.102, was Wilhelm Berger’s last work, written 1910 shortly before he died following a long illness and an operation. It was first performed in Berlin after his death, and was very well received. He handles the different instruments with skill and imagination, creating a whole as well as a mass of delightful detail. Apart from omitting the contra-bassoon, Berger has adopted the same instrumental ensemble as did Richard Strauss for his Serenade and Suite. The music is in the fine tradition of romantic writing for wind, but Berger abandons the classical arrangement of movements and produces new and exciting changes of mood, key and colour. The manuscript is held in the Deutsche Staatsbibliothek in Berlin, who made a copy available for the preparation of the first edition of the Serenade Op. I02, first published by Phylloscopus Publications, editors F.H. Nex and C.M.M. Nex. This brand new edition, published nearly 30 years later, is also edited by F.H. Nex and C.M.M. Nex.

“Born in Paris in 1899, Francis Poulenc soon became a notable composer and pianist. His Serenade, originally composed in 1925-1926 for Voice and Piano, met much success as part of his Bawdy Songs. Therefore, it was well-received when Maurice Gendron transcribed it for Cello and Piano. Poulenc, as a member of Les Six, composed music in a style contrary to that of Richard Wagner and impressionists Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. Serenade reflects the composer's contrasting style, making use of a 6/8 time signature, double stops, variations in articulation and wide range on the Cello. Being an imaginative and evocative composition, Serenade, transcribed for Cello and Piano, is a pleasurable addition to the repertoire.”.
