Tropus. Par SCHNEIDER ENJOTT. In this composition Schneider uses the famous words from the liturgy for Good Friday: “Darkness fell, and on the ninth hour Jesus called out with a loud voice: My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?” Here he draws on the earlier form of the “trope”, using what was a common device in composition in medieval times, inserted into already completed works as a sort of commenta…

Par SCHLEE THOMAS DANIEL. A suite whose movements always deliver something other than what they seem to promise. But throughout, the two instruments and respectively their players act like two people in very specific situations: I.: The opening movement is reserved for the piano; the initially earnest, solitary cantilena intensifies creating expectation. Suddenly II.: the violin sounds. Its movin…

The musical axis of the opera Bildbeschreibung consists of the relations between the soloistically treated instruments, the parts of which are based on the realisation by the performers of layers of sound ? understood not just as the exploration of their own instrument, but above all the presentation or representation in sound of the text. Each of the parts forges an area of ?pict…

Par CURNOW JAMES. What a wonderful idea! Make beautiful music such as this available at the Grade 1 level! Even young bands love to play enchantingly beautiful melodies. You’ve spent a lot of time and effort in helping your students learn to play full value notes, breathe in appropriate places, and stretch out their phrases so that they sound more mature and less like beginners. IN THE BLEAK MID-W…
