Aulos

Ulysses Kay

Pembroke Music Co.

Solo Flute, Horn 1 in F, Horn 2 in F, Percussion, Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Violoncello, Contrabass

SC91 - Full Score - $35.00

See Inside (JPG)

Commissioned by flutist John Solum and written in 1967, Aulos was premiered in 1971 by the Indiana University Chamber Orchestra, with John Solum acting as the soloist and Wolfgang Vaccano conducting. The work derives its name from the eponymous ancient Greek instrument, which was double-reeded and contained a two-piece pipe and finger holes. One piece contained a bag that allowed for a continuous sound, making it more akin to bagpipes than to the modern-day flute, while the other piece acted independently of the first. In Kay’s work, the texture of the supporting instruments act as the supporting, yet highly reactive drone, while the flute acts as the melodic piece.

Relax and Take a Deep Breath: The Lucarelli Approach to Oboe Playing

Carl Fischer Music

TXT15 - Text - $24.99

See Inside (JPG)

Kristin Leitterman’s Relax and Take a Deep Breath captures the essence of virtuoso Bert Lucarelli's approach to oboe playing, covering a wide variety of topics related to his philosophies on oboe performance: breathing, support, embouchure, articulation, tonguing, and reed making. The book also presents Lucarelli’s thoughts on general aspects of musical performance, such as memorization, performance anxiety, and suggestions for effective practice. Leitterman’s writing expertly reveals Bert’s passion for sharing his ideas on oboe performance to help players progress and to challenge them to explore their own thoughts on oboe playing, and captures his admired erudition and wit, as well as his love for music, teaching, and the oboe.

Acknowledged as “America’s leading oboe recitalist” by the New York Times, Humbert (Bert) Lucarelli has been a major international figure in oboe performance and pedagogy for the past sixty years. Lucarelli has maintained a regular teaching schedule at the Hartt School, New York University, Queens College, Brooklyn College and Purchase College throughout his entire career.  Kristin Leitterman is Assistant Professor of Oboe at Arkansas State University, where she teaches oboe, bassoon and double reed techniques. Leitterman studied with Bert for fifteen years at the Hartt School, and at CUNY Graduate Center in New York City.

Credo: I Believe

Piano

490-01188 - Performance Score - $9.95

Adapted by acclaimed pianist Lara Downes from the original work “Especially Do I Believe in the Negro Race” by Margaret Bonds. This is the lyrical second movement from Bonds’ larger work, “Credo” on text by WEB DuBois. The intense beauty of the music reflects racial-justice warrior Margaret Bonds’ deep affinity to the spirit of Du Bois’s words. The movement is in the style of a gospel song. The text of the original work is “Especially do I believe in the Negro Race; in the beauty of its genius, the sweetness of its soul, and its strength in that meekness which shall yet inherit this turbulent earth.”

Previously published for flutes, clarinets or saxophones, Florian Bramböck’s Afro-Latin Duets are now available for a pair of that most agile of woodwind instruments, the bassoon. This is a collection of Florian’s arrangements of traditional pieces from this musical genre as well as some of his own compositions that perfectly capture the style. Why should the smaller woodwind instruments have all the fun? The bassoon is more than capable of playing lighter music and players of early to advanced standards will enjoy letting their hair down at the same time as learning the exciting rhythms that go to make up these colourful sounds. Great fun for two bassoons in Afro-Latin styles, these duets will be terrific educational material for teachers and students of the bassoon.

Mahler portrays the industrious, restless hustle and bustle of the worker, ‘the bees’, in Blicke mir nicht in die Lieder, by using a continuous eighth note movement with a pattern which musical rhetoric calls ‘kyklosis’ or ‘circulatio’ – an entity moving as if it were in a circle.

Buffalo Rock & A Royal Portrait

James Rae

Universal Edition

UE021755 - Score and Parts - $62.50

Buffalo Rock This piece has been specifically composed for bands in their early stages of development. All instrumental parts have been written in comfortable keys and ranges with all clarinet parts staying entirely in the low register. After a short, powerful introduction, the music immediately kicks in to a driving rock mode, setting the scene for the remainder of the piece. Strong rhythmic playing is required from all sections of the band in order to achieve a solid performance. A Royal Portrait This piece is very regal in style and portrays all the pomp and circumstance that surrounds a high-profile state occasion. It is to be performed with a full, warm sound and players must resist the temptation to overblow as this could have a detrimental effect on tone quality and intonation. As with Buffalo Rock, the instrumental parts have been written in comfortable keys and ranges with all clarinet parts staying entirely in the low register.

See Inside (JPG)

Four Pieces for Flute solo were written upon a request from UE for the volume Flute Project, where five composers were supposed to collaborate with five well-known Flute players. Victoria Borisova-Ollas collaborated with Emmanuel Pahud. He sent a feed-back on the written music, which was very much appreciated. There are no special stories behind the titles of these 4 pieces. The titles of the Four Pieces are supposed to trigger the imagination of (young) players and their audience. The most often asked-for piece is Elegy: It has a more melodic character than the rest of the works, which are of more virtuoso character.

A Hymn to the Father

Joanna Gill

Universal Edition

Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass, Violin, Violoncello

UE021845 - Full Score - $6.50

See Inside (JPG)

This short piece will require a lot of work to secure a rewarding performance. Within its thirty-two bars it covers a wide range of dynamics, and its harmonic language moves from a simple G minor to end on a D major chord but during this journey there are passages of dissonance and harmonic tension. Of note is the wide range of dynamics from ppp to ff throughout the piece. While starting slow and mysterious and in fact ending the same way as the music fades virtually to nothing, the anguish of the text is highlighted in bars seventeen to twenty-four with the climatic question “My God, why have you forsaken me” with the voices in very close harmony creating a great moment of dissonance. The string writing adds an effective supporting line to the choral parts and at the climatic point they play tremolo triplets which adds to the harmonic tension. Like the vocal parts they fade away at the end in their upper registers. This effective work is a great addition to the repertoire and will be suitable for performance especially at Easter both in the concert hall and as a motet for liturgical use.

Ich atmet' einen linden Duft

Gustav Mahler

Universal Edition

Soprano 1, Soprano 2, Soprano 3, Alto 1, Alto 2, Alto 3, Tenor 1, Tenor 2, Tenor 3, Bass 1, Bass 2, Bass 3

UE038139 - Full Score - $12.50

See Inside (JPG)

With both its pentatonic tone material and specific sonority (harp, celeste), the music to Ich atmet’ einen linden Duft makes reference to Far-Eastern music as it was known around 1900. Its relatively static nature and the word play of ‘linden Duft’ (sweet fragrance) and ‘Lindenduft’ (lime tree fragrance) are clearly reminiscent of a haiku (and of course Das Lied von der Erde).

See Inside (JPG)

Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen, arguably Mahler’s most beautiful love song, was composed before he even met Alma in winter 1901. The motivic material of this song has a central role in Mahler’s work and its echoes run like a golden thread through those other works of his that that focus on the theme of love.

UE038142 - Full Score - $10.95

See Inside (JPG)

Liebst du um Schönheit was meant specifically for Alma Mahler. It is almost a justification of their relationship ‘in spite of’ the age gap, the problem of which Mahler was well aware of. It is probably not a coincidence that Mahler did not orchestrate the song – in other words did not ‘intend it for the public’ (Alma even protested – in vain – against Puttmann’s orchestral version).

Pari intervallo

Arvo Pärt

Universal Edition

Originally composed as music for four instruments without specifying the instrumentation, Pari intervallo was later arranged by Arvo Pärt for both organ and recorder quartet. Pari intervallo was one of seven works in Tintinnabuli style first performed in concert in 1976. These pieces mark the beginning of Pärt's new compositional process: called “Tintinnabuli”. The title of Pari intervallo (“at the same distance”) describes the new style quite accurately. It refers to the two strictly parallel pairs of voices, which always remain at the same distance.

UE021843 - Score - $18.95

See Inside (JPG)

In his Piano Sketchbook, Mike Cornick’s many inimitable styles shine through like a beacon. Several of the pieces were composed during the Covid lockdown and can only now be published. They are joined by two older compositions that he was delighted to find in some old files and the result is a delightful mixture of light musical fun. The opening piece, “Valse Mystique” is particularly fascinating, with not a single bar of this mystical waltz in the usual 3/4 metre; Mike prefers to alternate 5/4 and 6/4 bars. The second piece evokes the gentle swinging of a trapeze artist before we hear a jazz number, some more swing and two delightful tangos. All the pieces are short, none more than two pages and can be enjoyed by players of intermediate level.

Simple Gifts

Traditional (arr. George Arthur)

Universal Edition

Soprano 1, Soprano 2, Piano

UE021844 - Full Score - $4.95

Simple Gifts is a Shaker song written and composed in 1848, generally attributed to Elder Joseph Brackett from Alfred Shaker Village. This tune was almost unknown until Aaron Copland used the melody in the ballet Apalachian Spring first performed in 1944. Since then, it has become very popular and appears in many arrangements. This new arrangement by George Arthur is for 2 soprano voices and piano. This simple but effective setting is enhanced by introducing imitation in the melody between the two voice parts. The piano part is straightforward but includes references to the two-part writing of the melody by having three short bell-like interjections. The idea of turning is hinted at in the piano with the use of quavers towards the end of the piece. This setting would be suitable for all female choirs, but especially a children’s choir, who could probably perform the piece from memory.

During his lifetime, Gustav Mahler was both respected and feared as an inexorable perfectionist. The fact that Universal Edition ultimately gained Mahler’s absolute confidence, and that he entrusted us with his works ‘for all times, for all countries’, still fills us with pride today – because Universal Edition has always believed in Mahler and has risen to the enormous challenge of keeping his works up to date with the latest research findings and making them available for performance.

Possibly one of Shostakovich’s most famous and best-loved tunes, the Waltz from his Suite for Variety Orchestra has appeared in very many arrangements. Simple, yet engaging, it’s always an audience pleaser and David Brooker has provided flexible new versions for string players. Published in three different volumes, it can be played (with the use of ossia parts if necessary) by duos of violin/cello, viola/cello, two cellos, violin/viola or two violas. Duets for these combinations are thin on the ground so these publications will be of great use for teachers and students alike.
