Chamber Ensemble

SKU: BT.MUSM570209088

On Track. By Sadie Harrison. Set (Score & Parts). 15 pages. University of York Music Press #MUSM570209088. Published by University of York Music Press (BT.MUSM570209088).

English.

13 specially commissioned pieces which aim to breathe new life into a largely neglected component of the GCSE/Key Stage 4 Music syllabus, Ensemble Performance. On Track comes complete with a CD-Rom containing all the parts for all the pieces and transpositions for any instrument, and these parts come with a licence for printing as many copies as needed, directly from the CD-Rom. A separate 'audio' CD also contains recordings of every piece. The book contains scores for each piece and extended notes by the composers to aid in the preparation of the music: there are 5 pieces for fixed ensembles and 8 pieces for flexible ensembles. The editor of the compilation, Sadie Harrison, comments: Playing in an ensemble with one's peers is perhaps the most rewarding and satisfying thing to do as a young performer, and it is crucial to nurture this element of GCSE courses to reflect this. On Track is a fantastic collection of many different styles, approaches and sounds. There is something in here for everybody, at whatever level, and on whatever instrument. This is what GCSE Music teachers are crying out for, and finally here is something that really hits the mark. Harrison's comments are echoed by recent examiners' reports from EdExcel, one of the largest examiners of GCSE music. They describe how the music they heard in examinations demonstrated 'an extreme range of standards and revealed evidence of the very wide range of instruments in use'. The AQA (Assessment and Qualification Alliance) Examiners' report in 2004 warns schools against allowing their students to present solo music with a piano accompaniment played by a teacher or with a CD accompaniment for the ensemble performance component. It continues, saying that it is of utmost importance that the chosen ensemble allows the candidate to show rapport with the other player(s). This is a significant requirement with which many [examination] centres did NOT comply.

Composed by Sadie Harrison. Classical. Set (Score & Parts). 29 pages. University of York Music Press #MUSM570367078. Published by University of York Music Press (BT.MUSM570367078).

English.

Sadie Harrison 's A Not-So-Sonatine for Double Bass and Piano. Composed in 2013 and revised and published in 2016. Duration: 10 minutes. A Not-So-Sonatine   is so called as it is rather more than a sonatine, being uncharacteristically virtuosic for both Double Bass and Piano. This is a light-hearted piece which references the plethora of accessible mid-twentieth century sonatines with delight! The second movement is also known as Josie’s Piece , premiered by Josie Jobbins in 2014 at the Taunton Young Musician of the Year Final. A Not-So-Sonatine is dedicated to the virtuoso bassist, David Heyes. The work is in four movements: Molto moto! Moltocantabile Molto scherzando Molto brillante! A Not-So-Sonatine was premiered at the Auditorio de Almuñecar (Granada, Spain) on 30th November 2015 by bassist Frano Kakarigi and pianist Juan José Muñoz Cañivano.

Voice and Accompaniment

SKU: BT.MUSM570361922

By Michael Hooper. Book Only. 4 pages. University of York Music Press #MUSM570361922. Published by University of York Music Press (BT.MUSM570361922).

English.

The song repertoire has its origins in the late nineteenth century when every household had a piano and for much of the twentieth century, singers and their pianist collaborators were able to create recital programmes from a deep reservoir of European and North American song. The recital genre became more sophisticated as the century progressed and metamorphosed from a miscellaneous collection of lollipops to something altogether more sophisticated, often featuring elaborate themes which would enable the music to be presented in a variety of new contexts. In the twenty first century opportunities for recitalists are fewer and programmes still tend to focus on the much-loved butwell-explored repertoire. We hope this collection will contribute to a broadening of possibilities for recitalists or anyone who just wants something new to sing. There are several songs for voice and piano but some require other instruments. There is a wide range of styles. We have resisted the temptation to grade them by difficulty, as our criteria were more broadly performative and musical rather than didactic. All selected composers have a particular sympathy for the singing voice, so there is nothing that cannot be sung by a competent performer. The songs generally have a designated voice type, but this shouldn't be thought of as prescriptive; they are designed to be flexible and to offer the maximum opportunity for creative interpretation. They range from the curious and quirky to the virtuosic and challenging, the intense and mysterious to the sad and the light-hearted. We hope that many performers will find their tastes represented here. Compiled by David Blake and John Potter. Edited by Michael Hooper.
