Flute and piano - Intermediate

SKU: FT.FM451

Composed by Allan Herbie Jones. Flute and Piano. Score and part. Forton Music #FM451. Published by Forton Music (FT.FM451).

ISBN 9790570483501.

As the title suggests, a joyful piece, in what I believe the medieval court Jester of the 12th or 13th century would play to entertain the nobility of that time. In the first movement, particular attention should be paid to articulation and phrasing. The cadenzas have scope for as much 'ad lib' as the soloist and accompanist want to give. Rubato can be used on the introductions to each phrase. In the second movement, a quiet lullaby (to put the guests to sleep), phrasing and legato playing should dominate throughout, with lots of feeling and tone. The time signature change should not alter the style of playing. Like the first movement, the third movement (The Wake-up Call) should be lively and energetic. Not played with as much rubato, but with strict adherance to tempo. Inspired by a brilliant recorder player I heard at a concert, this gave me the idea of the medieval Jesters. As a composer, I create the composition. As a musician, you create the music. Thank you for taking an interest in my composition.

Flute and piano - Intermediate-Advanced

SKU: FT.FM452

Composed by Allan Herbie Jones. Flute and Piano. Score and part. Forton Music #FM452. Published by Forton Music (FT.FM452).

ISBN 9790570483518.

The Ballad Of John is basically an exercise in tuning and tone control. Make the most of the 'ad lib' instruction throughout the piece; the player should be able to feel where more rubato must be used. It's not always marked, but rubato plays a big part in the performance of this piece. Particular attention should be paid to dynamic markings, phrasing and articulation. The flourish at the end can use as much ad lib and improvisation as the player and accompanist require. Inspired by a late uncle, who took his time at doing almost everything, but could show a burst of energy when it was needed.

Euphonium and piano - Advanced

Composed by Allan Herbie Jones. 3 Movement sonata. Classical. Score and Part. Forton Music #FM878. Published by Forton Music (FT.FM878).

ISBN 9790570487776. 21 x 30 cm inches.

The piece takes advantage of the Euphonium's full range and has been written for the more advanced player, although the slow movement can accommodate the less advanced players. The player may feel free to be creative throughout the entire piece. The first movement should be played at a lively and energetic tempo with a joyful approach. Particular attention should be paid to articulation, phrasing and the dynamic markings. The glissandi are optional, as are the optional cadenza parts and pedal notes. The second movement requires some really expressive and rubato playing. Phrasing and legato playing should dominate throughout, with lots of feeling and tone. Like the first movement, the third movement should be lively and energetic. No legato playing and attention once again to articulation and phrasing. Options are written in for the high notes, but the player may feel free to attempt them.As a composer, I create the composition. As a musician, you create the music.

Clarinet - Easy

SKU: FT.FM428

Composed by Allan Herbie Jones. Solo Clarinet. Part. Forton Music #FM428. Published by Forton Music (FT.FM428).

ISBN 9790570483273.

The whole purpose of these 10 Easy Studies is to allow the player to have fun playing them. The Studies have been designed primarily with a tuneful melody in mind, and not as a mundane exercise. Particular attention should be paid to the dynamic markings and slurs. The Studies should be played after the warm up exercises of scales and long notes - very important for tone development - have been concluded.

Horn in F and piano - Intermediate-Advanced

SKU: FT.FM568

Composed by Allan Herbie Jones. Horn in F and Piano. Score and part. Forton Music #FM568. Published by Forton Music (FT.FM568).

ISBN 9790570484676.

The first movement should be played at a lively and energetic tempo with a joyful approach. Particular attention should be paid to articulation and phrasing. The second movement requires very quiet and expressive playing. Phrasing and legato playing should dominate throughout, with lots of feeling and tone. The glissandi are marked ad lib. which leaves this entirely up to the player. The only recommendation is to play the last glissando as marked, (Slow chromatic). Like the first movement, the third movement should be lively and energetic. No legato playing and attention once again to articulation and phrasing. In this movement, the phrasing has been left for the player to decide, i.e. twelve bars in one breath or choose where to breathe.

Oboe and piano - Intermediate

SKU: FT.FM465

Composed by Allan Herbie Jones. Oboe and Piano. Score and part. Forton Music #FM465. Published by Forton Music (FT.FM465).

ISBN 9790570483648.

When played with feeling and expertise, the Oboe can produce the articulate and artistic qualities of perfection. The opening melancholy melody depicts the laid back Tortoise going about his (or her) daily business, with not a care in the world and without any hurry. To me, - perfection. Along comes the up tempo Hare with his (or her), 'always on the go' attitude, jumping about like a 'kangaroo on a trampoline'. To me, - passed that stage in my life. Back to the Tortoise melody and a little 'chilled out' cadenza to finish. To me, again, - perfection. The piece should be played with plenty of feeling. The tempo markings are only a guideline and the phrasing and slur markings are there, only to suggest how I would like it played. Feel free to use as much rubato and improvisation. The cadenza has scope for as much ad lib as the soloist and accompanist want to give. The inspiration for the piece came from the menagerie of birds and animals that congregate in my back garden most of the year. I regularly sit and watch with great interest all the antics of these wonderful creatures.
