Kantate Zum Michaelisfest. Par TELEMANN GEORG PHILIPP. Thanks to the false attribution to Johann Sebastian Bach [BWV 219] of the cantata for St. Michael’s Day Siehe! es hat überwunden der Löwe TVWV 1:1328 by Georg Philipp Telemann, one of Telemann’s works experienced an unusually early renaissance. In 1884 the cantata was published in the Bach-Gesamtausgabe [Complete Edition] and from then onwards…

18 first pieces for young beginners. Par RAE JAMES. Child's Play by James Rae provides the simplest possible little performance pieces, almost from a pupil's first lesson. These pieces couldn't be easier and still have a tune, yet the clever piano accompaniments provide support and interest and make them great fun to perform. Mostly original pieces, sprinkled with some old favourites, they introdu…

Par SHELTON MELVIN L.. A touching and intense memoriam piece, the mechanics are on the easy side of Grade 4, but the demand for tone quality and control in tenuto passages and long slurred phrases calls for the best of musicianship from any group. The 'Adagio e Rubato' tempo indication invites the kind of wonderfully expressive ensemble playing that should probably make up a larger part of band li…

Following on the success of her two operatic works for children and teens - Douce et Barbe Bleue, Les Fables Enchantées, Little Thummie and Cendrillon (based on Perrault), as well as the adaptation of Maupassant's short story The Dumpling (2014) - Isabelle Aboulker once again hits the bull's eye with Myla And The Boat-Tree, a commission from the Villecroze Music Academy. In 2015, this musical tale…

Par ROKEACH MARTIN. Going Up? was commissioned in 2007 by the New York trio Eight Strings and a Whistle and completed in 2008. The material and energy of the piece continually pulls the listener upward, hence the title. There are three themes, all ascending, introduced in the first moments respectively by the flute as the piece opens, the pizzicato cello in measure 4, and the pizzicato cello again…

Scored for chorus, children's choir, organ and chamber orchestra, St Luke Passion adopts a pared-back focus on choral voices over its 75-minute span. Seeking a more spiritual, inward approach to match Luke's text, the composer eschews settings of interpolated texts as arias and the customary Evangelist and Christ soli: everything is sung by choral forces. A children's choir grants a measure of inn…

Kantate Zum 3. Sonntag Nach Trinitatis Und Für Alle Zeit. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. The edition allows for the performance of this cantate in the various forms which Bach himself used. The solo parts for high voice are always allotted primarily to the voice specified by Bach in Leipzig, with the alternative authorized by the Weimar and Cöthen parts placed afterwards in brackets. / Musique religie…
