The Folk Songs choral collection explores the musical world of Great Britain and Ireland. It contains 21 arrangements of English-language verse songs, canons, and ballads for mixed unaccompanied chorus. The folk songs are as diverse as the stories they tell: from the moving Greensleeves and Two hearts beat as one, through charming settings such as A rosebud by my early walk and There were three ravens, to saucy and tongue-in-cheek songs such as Dashing away with the smoothing iron and The mother-in-law. The stylistic treatment is very varied: the collection contains both original settings from the 13th century as well as arrangements specially commissioned from contemporary composers for the collection. The settings are in three to five parts, and the vocal parts sometimes divide. They are by well-known British and Irish composers such as Benjamin Britten, Gustav Holst, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Charles Villiers Stanford, as well as contemporary composers such as John Rutter and Carsten Gerlitz - who give a new twist to these traditional songs. Calmus Ensemble has recorded six arrangements from this collection for their CD Folk Songs (Carus 83.034).

Chamber Music Piano

SKU: PR.110418250

Composed by Shulamit Ran. Sws. Performance Score. 12 pages. Duration 11 minutes. Theodore Presser Company #110-41825. Published by Theodore Presser Company (PR.110418250).

ISBN 9781491133859. UPC: 680160683345. 9 x 12 inches.

This intriguing 11-minute work builds on alternations between declamatory unmetered phrases (beginning as “sonorous, rubato, with great aplomb and resonance”) and strictly motoric rhythmic sections, developing in waves of increasing drama and intensity. Commissioned by the Naumburg Foundation for pianist Xiaohui Yang’s Carnegie Hall premiere.
Ballade is a one-movement work of approximately 11 minutes, divided into three main parts that are played without significant break.Ballade alternates sections where the performer is invited to apply great interpretive freedom, especially on the temporal plane, with contrasting sections that are quite precise and rhythmic. Although carefully notated, the “freer” sections (often marked rubato) certainly allude at times to the kind of repertoire that is familiar to most concert pianists, doing so not by way of quotation but by the type of expressivity, affect, and even passagework. Thus, the performer should think of the score as a “blueprint,” where the many descriptive words I have inserted throughout the score (ranging from sonorous, rubato, with great aplomb and resonance as the work begins, to with greater motion, in a series of ever-expanding “waves” later on) are intended to act as triggers for one’s sense of imagination and fantasy to take off and bring the music alive! An inscription in the score urges the pianist to play fearlessly and exuberantly, but also tenderly!

For the Modern Improviser. Composed by Oligario Diaz. Sheet music. 174 pages. Charles Colin Corp. #AHW 3027. Published by Charles Colin Corp. (M7.AHW-3027).

English.

This theoretical book is meant to improve contemporary jazz styles techniques for all musician players of modern jazz. We will divide this book into scale exercises, arpeggio exercises, jazz line phrases as well as contemporary chord progressions. Exercises consist of diatonic and chromatic exercises; and, line phrases, consist of jazz solos by great musicians such as Miles Davis, Bill Evans, John Coltrane, Freddy Hubbard, Woody Shaw, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Joe Farrel, Dave Liebman, Bob Berg, Michael and Randy Brecker, Jerry Bergonzi, George Garzone, Tom Harrel, Chris Potter, Brad Mehldau, Joey Calderazzo, Kenny Garrett, Branford Marsalis, Walt Weiskopf, Rich Perry, Seamus Blake, Alex Sipiagin and many other well known musicians these days. The majority of these exercises should be transposed to all twelve (12) tones, so we can achieve perfect coordination. Major chords, Minor chords and Dominant chords will be extended to their highest level, in scales, arpeggios and chromatic form. There will not be key signature centres, so we will work all exercises in accidental way. These exercises were made as an extension of my first book 'Improvise Now'. There are as well many improvisational lines transcribed from some of the previously mentioned musicians.

Thirty great exercises or studies after Soussmann - Book 2 is the second and final volume of this series, written by Marcel Mule. Inspired by Soussmann's exercise book and adapted to saxophone, these studies for intermediate players are divided with 15 studies in the first book and 15 in the second one. Written in G key with up to 7 sharps per exercise, these studies will develop the technical skills and the sonority of the saxophonist. With breathing indications, it will help the players to gain in endurance too. Marcel Mule (1901-2001) is one of the greatest French saxophonists, renowned worldwide for his work on the classical saxophone repertoire. He was teaching his students how to obtain a good quality of sound and believed it was dependent on embouchure, the emission, the mastery of vibrato and thus, of breathing. He wrote different methods that focus on technique, articulation and tone productions such as Eighteen Exercises or Studies or Daily Exercises Aafter Terschack among others.

Violin

SKU: UT.HS-298

Composed by Nicolo Paganini. Edited by Italo Vescovo. Saddle stitching. Classical. Ut Orpheus #HS 298. Published by Ut Orpheus (UT.HS-298).

ISBN 9790215326941. 9 x 12 inches.

The four Valtz (plus a fifth in the Appendix, which constitutes the first draft of n. 3) for violin, published here for the first time in their manuscript form, although brief, are important musically since they add to the rich and varied catalogue of works for solo violin by Paganini. The pieces can be found within the manuscript of the Ghiribizzi for guitar M.S. 43. Their musical structure is simple, as is found in this genre of compositions and is mostly divided into a bipartite form (8+8 bars) with ritornelli. These are short but very pleasant pieces, in which it is not difficult to find the spirit of the great Genoese composer of small compositions.

Adler's milestone String Quartet No. 10 was composed for the Cassatt String Quartet for performance at the Bowdoin International Music Festival's 50th Anniversary season in 2014. Built in a single movement of contrasting sections, Adler's 10th will continue to be featured in upcoming concerts by the Cassatt Quartet, including a performance in Beijing in July.
The String Quartet No. 10 was written in 2013 for the 50th anniversary of the Bowdoin International Summer Music Festival and is dedicated to the Cassatt Quartet who premiered the work during the 50th anniversary celebration in July 2014.  The work was written with a generous grant from the Fromm Music Foundation.The 10th String Quartet is in one continuous movement but divided into four sections.  The first section is a slow introduction which presents the basic harmonic material of the entire work.  This is suddenly interrupted by a very agitated movement forming a great contrast to the calm of the beginning.  This rhythmic drive comes to a stop and is relieved by the third section which is a variation of the beginning, but is a bit longer and more developed.  This is followed by the final section which again captures the agitation of the second section and brings the work to a wild and most aggressive end.—Samuel Adler.

SSATBB choir, a cappella - Medium

SKU: PL.0131

Composed by Kent Newbury. Parish. Choral, General. Octavo. Paraclete Press #0131. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.0131).

This vigorous setting captures the strength and majesty of the text from Revelation. The choral writing is mostly homophonic and uses mild syncopation to create rhythmic accent. The central section changes mood to reflect the words Just and true are thy ways while the words Great and wonderful are repeated underneath. The divided writing is not difficult but the rapid key changes will be a challenge for intonation. This is a wonderful and fresh addition to the repertory of praise anthems.
