King of Prussia, PA — Theodore Presser Company proudly announces yet another winner from prolific flute composer Gary Schocker; a transcription of the famous Bach Arioso (114-41364 - Flute and Guitar Parts • $9.95) for flute and guitar. Not only are all ornaments written out, but guitar fingerings have been provided by Jason Vieaux, the premiere virtuoso classical guitarist in America today. This incredibly useful arrangement is perfect for concert performances and weddings alike, and will be a valuable repertoire addition for flutists and classical guitarists.
Gary Schocker (born October 18, 1959) is a flutist, composer, and pianist who has performed with the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the New Jersey Symphony, the Dallas Symphony, the West German Sinfonia, and I Solisti Italiani among others. Mr. Schocker has composed sonatas for piano, oboe, bassoon, clarinet, horn, and two pianos, as well as works for flute, theatrical works, and children's musicals. James Galway premiered Mr. Schocker’s three-movement concerto Green Places at Ireland’s Adair Festival and has also performed this work with the New Jersey Symphony. He is the most-published living composer of flute music with over 150 works in print. He lives in New York City and Easton, Pennsylvania.
One of America’s leading guitarists, Jason Vieaux is changing the face of guitar programming and has earned a devoted international fan base along the way. As a result of his reputation for making “the single guitar seem like a body of instruments at work…an orchestra of sound…” (The Philadelphia Inquirer), Mr. Vieaux plays over 50 engagements each year across the US and abroad. Highlights of the 2009 – 2010 season include recitals for Lincoln Center and 92nd St. Y in New York, two sold-out concerts for Dumbarton Oaks Concert Series in Washington DC, a debut with Charlotte Symphony, and recitals for Spivey Hall, Indiana University, and Toronto’s Mooredale Series.
