Par SORENSEN BENT . When it comes to titles, almost all the works I have composed have found their title before or at the same moment I started them. That is why it was also surprising - not to say transgressive - for me that my work for 9 instruments for Ensemble MidtVest was completely untitled until the last bar. Then it dawned on me that the titlelessness was a natural result of the music's vo…

ré mineur. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. It owes its much-quoted nickname 'Tempest' to a note by Beethoven's famulus Anton Schindler, whom the composer advised to 'read Shakespeare's Tempest' as a key to the work. But Schindler had also asked for the Sonata op. 57 in the same breath, so that in the end it remained unclear which of the two sonatas was really meant. The preface of the new edition explai…

Kantate Zum 3. Weihnachtstag. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. The cantata 'Ich freue mich in dir' was first performed during Bach's second year as Thomaskantor, on the 3rd day of Christmas, and belongs to the so-called annual cycle of chorale cantatas. Here the focus of the composition is the hymn of the same name by Philipp Ziegler, in which the first and final strophes were adopted, word for word, in…

Each volume of these quartets is published in two books, one in treble (G) clef and one in bass (F) clef. While each Volume can be played by any mix of instruments built in the same key, the two volumes are compatible when instruments using the treble clef book are B-flat instruments, such as trumpets, cornets, or baritone treble clef.

Par MANTOVANI BRUNO. Lorsque Frank Madlener m'a proposé le projet de confronter un orchestre symphonique avec la lutherie électronique, j'ai tout de suite accepté ce défi sachant qu'il me faudrait rapidement fixer des contraintes très fortes, tant le champ des possibles, qu'il soit instrumental ou électroacoustique, était infini. Mon idée initiale était d'utiliser pour la première fois des transfo…

Easy duets for beginners. Par RAE JAMES. James Rae's eminently successful tutor Introducing the Clarinet was the first of its kind providing the complete beginner with material in popular styles yet allowing for a sound musical development along traditional lines. Now, complementing the tutor, James Rae has produced these three volumes to introduce the beginner clarinettist to ensemble playing. Th…

Overture. Par BERLIOZ HECTOR. Hector Berlioz was known for his innovative and creative musical gestures. He composed the opera Benvenuto Cellini in 1838, based on the fascinating life of a 16th century Italian goldsmith of the same name. Unfortunately the work as a whole never gained much popularity however its colourful and exciting overture has, on the other hand, become a firm favourite. Tohru …

Par DE HAAN JACOB. A collection of 5 short works in pop style which can be performed by any kind of compilation. The titles can be presented on the programme as separate works but the Universal Band Collection can also be performed as a complete suite. From a didactic point of view it is a suitable work to teach musicians something about the structure in music. For this purpose not only the big st…
