Composed by Pablo Sosa. Sacred. CD. GIA Publications #1023. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-CD-1023).

UPC: 785147002321.

From internationally-celebrate d composer Pablo Sosa comes this captivating 2-disc recording of original songs inspired by this unique metaphor. Sosa writes, “When heaven is at the same height as a table (that is, within our grasp), it creates encounter. This encounter becomes feast, friendship, altar and nourishment, as well as refuge, inclusion and justice for all.” The songs on this album explore aspects of this encounter with elegance, tenderness, passion and exuberance. Be transported through an odyssey of musical vignettes that feel at once classic and timeless, universal in their embrace while unabashedly Argentinian. Flamenco, tango, jazz, and samba all infuse these songs’ underlying flare for story-telling—in this case, the story of our faith and the church.

Voice, Mezzo-Soprano and Orchestra

SKU: HL.14030960

Composed by Bent Sorensen. Music Sales America. Classical. Score. 78 pages. Music Sales #KP01442. Published by Music Sales (HL.14030960).

ISBN 9788759889480. Danish.

Intermezzi from the opera Under Himlen was composed by Bent Sorensen in 2003. Scored for 2 Mezzosoparanos and Orchestra. Text by Peter Asmussen. Programme Note: In March 2003, when the Royal Theatre premiered the composer Bent Sorensen's and the dramatist Peter Asmussen's opera Under the Sky, it was not only Bent Sorensen's first opera on the large scale, but also his first work as a music dramatist at all. The challenge of composing an opera came from the general manager of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra/DR, Per Erik Veng, who had asked Asmussen in 1996 whether he would write the libretto for an opera and pick out a composer to work with on it. Asmussen was willing, and he pointed to Bent Sorensen as the composer. Bent Sorensen reacted positively to Per Erik Veng's suggestion of an opera collaboration with Asmussen, and with the opera agreement settled, the Danish National Symphony Orchestra/DR was then offered an independent work. It is related to the opera, but sheds light on it from a different angle - Bent Sorensen himself compares it to a film 'trailer'. The result is Intermezzi, a suite in five movements. Intermezzi is expressly not just a garland of selected episodes from the opera, but an independent work built up in one long symmetrical sequence with instrumental passages in the middle of the first, third and fifth movements as well as the purely instrumental second and fourth movements, as the bearing pillars of the work. Fragments of the story of Ida and Molte (both mezzo-sopranos) are told, but they do not happen in the same order or with the same conclusion as in the opera. In this way Intermezzi becomes a comment on how not everything in the past is necessarily what it seems, or what one at first makes of it. In the first movement Ida sings to Magius that she is carrying Molte's child, while from afar Molte observes the idyllic world from the outside. The second movement is instrumental, while the third begins with Ida's love aria, which merges into a great instrumental passage before the movement ends with Molte's cynical remark that Ida is simply a fairytale, a book one closes. After a brief instrumental fourth movement comes the fifth, where Molte laments his coldness and isolation amidst all the riches, and seduces Ida by urging her to liberate him with her warmth. Jakob Levinsen.

Guitar

SKU: UT.CH-388

Composed by Manuel Ponce. Edited by Andrea De Vitis and Riccardo Del Prete. Classical. Score. Ut Orpheus #CH 388. Published by Ut Orpheus (UT.CH-388).

ISBN 9790215328242. 9 x 12 inches.

Main source of the present editions is the manuscript by Manuel M. Ponce, kept in the Manuel M. Ponce Archive, located in the Cuicamatini library of the Facultad de Música de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
The preludes were composed around 1929 after the invitation of Segovia who, urged by the publishers to write a method, asked Ponce to compose some short pieces to include in this didactic project. In April 1930 Segovia published only 12 preludes with Schott publishing house.
Many of Ponceâ??s manuscripts remained unknown for a long time, until 1977, when the Mexican guitarist and musicologist Miguel Alcázar, thanks to the collaboration of Carlos Vázquez, pupil and heir of Manuel Ponceâ??s manuscripts, began an important recovery of Ponceâ??s guitar music by preparing the first complete edition of the preludes.

Clarinet trio

SKU: P2.30024

Composed by Jiri Slabihoudek. Chamber music, 20th century. Published by Potenza Music (P2.30024).

The titular Three Moments are set into baroque forms, but the material itself is not inspired by that era. The first movement is very static with pulsing rhythm and three screams in the solo clarinet. They build to the third scream, when the first clarinet finally persuades the second to do the same. The Gigue is a riddle. There are three one-bar models and three five-bars melodies, all this in 5/8 metre. Every player gets the chance to explore each model and melody, but always in different circumstances. The Fugue is very academic (apart from allusions to the first movement at the end). There is twelfth interval in the theme which creates a feeling of more than three-voice fugue in some parts.

Tuba (trombone)

SKU: M7.AHW-412

Composed by Bob Stewart. Sheet music. 21 pages. Charles Colin Corp. #AHW 412. Published by Charles Colin Corp. (M7.AHW-412).

English.

In the jazz tradition the Tuba was the bass in the rhythm section up until the mid-twenties. It was then the upright bass replaced the Tuba in many ensembles as the jazz music moved north and continued to develop. After this period the Tuba's roll, as bass in the rhythm section, was at a standstill and did not develop through Swing and Bebop. It wasn't until Cool Jazz of the 1950's when the Tuba was used by Miles Davis and Gil Evans in 'Birth of the Cool' as an ensemble horn. The Tuba, like swimming, is something you can't do any longer than you can hold your breath. In order to maintain a steady beat while playing in the rhythm section I have developed a system of breathing called Pant Breathing. Using this method, the player can maintain a steady beat within the rhythm section, without losing time while taking deep breaths.
