Prolific composer Chen Yi began her musical career as a violinist, and she has now written a performance piece for the violin student, in loving tribute to her native Beijing. The violin’s part in From Old Peking Folklore imitates the fingering, bowing, style, and spirit of traditional Chinese music and instruments, and is orchestrated in such a way that the duet sounds like Jing Yun Da Gu, the folk music of her home area. Commissioned by the Music Teachers Association of California as a competition piece. For advanced players. Duration: 5’

Nikos Skalkottas Sonate for Violin Solo Violin Solo
A half century after his death, an air of obscurity still surrounds both the life and work of Nikos Skalkottas, the most significant Greek composer. Sonate für Geige allein was written in the summer of 1925 while Skalkottas studied with Kurt Weill and Phillipp Jarnach, and the sonata seems absolutely typical of the intellectually and musically radical mood of the time. Fresh, spare, mischievous, dissonant, tempermental and with a lively sense of humor, Sonate was clearly influenced by Jarnach as Skalkottas harks back to baroque forms and structures. The second and third movements imitate a minuet and a bourée, while in the closing fugue the young composer demonstrates his ability to mesh two relatively independent melodies together. This autograph text edition contains the composer’s own fingerings and bowing indications, and his suggestions provide valuable insight to his musical intentions.

Behzad Ranjbaran Shiraz Violin, Cello, and Piano
Theodore Presser Co. 114-41321 • $35.00 Add to Cart
An ode to the city of Shiraz in southern Iran, many of Behzad Ranjbaran’s melodic, rhythmic, and musical characters are inspired by Persian culture and its vocal and instrumental music. Movement one, “The Weeping Willow”, was influenced by the composer’s vision of three poets in a gentle but heated poetic discourse, with a musical phrase beginning with one instrument and then circulated and repeated in a refined exchange. The second movement refers to a river in Shiraz often cited in Iranian poetry. The composer elaborates: “As the opening [of the second movement] descends into the whispering murmur of water waves, it soon builds to climactic crashing chords, all pointing to the vitality of life represented by the river. There is also allusion to the playful character of folk music with irregular rhythmic patterns, repeated short melodies, and jesting pizzicato sections….propelling the piece to an energetic conclusion.”

Ives wrote this piece as a teenager for solo organ, and it was published in 1949 as a result of support from E. Power Biggs, a prominent concert organist and recording artist.

This setting for violin and piano was adapted from the flute version by Presser editor and composer Daniel Dorff, and the violin part was transcribed by well-known jazz violinist and concert artist Diane Munroe. Appropriate for both advanced students and professional players.

Hildegard has truly uncovered a gem in publishing this lovely sonata for cello and piano, written in the 19th century by German composer and concert pianist Luise Adolpha LeBeau. At the time of its composition, this sonata was largely overlooked due to prejudices against female composers. Sonate, Op. 17 is written in formal classical style, but gives way to soaring, romantic impulses and stark key changes, supported by a driving piano accompaniment. The piano accompaniment is a reprint of the impressively accurate 1878 edition, and the cello part is newly engraved and drawn from the piano score, with discrepancies reconciled by the editor.

A fantastic work to showcase the beautiful pairing of the cello and piano.

Arvo Pärt Da Pacem Domine String Quartet
Pärt's "Prayer for Peace" has been recorded and performed many times in its choral setting, and should quickly become a favorite of string quartets. Paul Hillier, Pärt's long-time collaborator, describes the piece: "Each pitch is carefully placed in position like stones in a Zen garden." Reviewers struggle to capture the work in phrases such as "almost motionless" and "utmost austerity and stillness," yet the quickly growing numbers of Pärt's fans don't question - they just sit back and soak it all in. Da pacem Domine, while not technically demanding, is challenging in its blending of sonority.

In his New York Times review, Anthony Tommasini writes of the Second Piano Quartet, “The first movement ... is called ‘Lazy,’ and true to the title, the piano begins with seemingly aimless, thickly chromatic piano chords. Yet the harmonies are so pungent and the chord shifts so sneaky that when a magisterial melody for the cello breaks out, you can't stop listening to those fidgety piano chords.”

Artur Schnabel String Trio for Violin, Viola, and Violoncello
Schnabel is immediately known as perhaps the finest touring pianist of his day, one whose performances of Beethoven's concerti are still prized today. At great odds with his choice in performance, Schnabel's own compositions were wholly different. "Schnabel's compositional method has not yet been analyzed, but it is clear that he paid keen attention not only to the development of the individual voice, but also to the complex interpenetration of chromatic harmony among voices." (Schnabel Music Foundation) Further, a 1955 review suggests that Schnabel was well ahead of his time!

Commissioned by the Barlow Endowment for Music Composition at Brigham Young University, the two-movement Tibetan Tunes was written for the New Pacific Trio and was premiered at the Conservatory of Music at University of the Pacific in January 2007 in Stockton, California. The first movement is inspired by the Tibetan folk tune “Du Mu,” while the second movement “Dui Xie” is a kind of Tibetan folk ensemble music typically played with the plucked instrument Zhamunie, the bamboo flute, and the fiddle Erhu. Chen explains, “The music presents the rich gestures of Du Mu (a name of a god in Tibetan Buddhism) in a serene mood.” A unique and notable addition to this prolific composer’s catalog of works.
