Chamber Music Series For Three Woodwinds

The latest volume of the popular series extends the repertoire of beginner and intermediate cello students with excellent transcriptions of works by music historys three great Bs. Árpád Pejtsik, the editor of the series, has transcribed for three cellos the Trio Sonata in G Major for Flute, Violin and Continuo by Bach, a witty bagatelle by Beethoven and two works originally written for the piano (Sarabande, Gavotte) by Brahms in his youth. While at least intermediate instrumental skills are required due to the use of higher positions when playing the top parts, the bottom parts can be performed by beginner cellists. Interpretation is helped by the fingering and bowing being provided by the editor. / 3 Violoncelles

Joseph Phibbs' Trio Semplice for Piano Trio.Trio Semplice was written for and is dedicated to the Schubert Ensemble as part of their innovative Chamber Music 2000 series. My principal aim in writing this piece was to explore - on a modest scale - the whole concept of musical simplicity: short clearly presented ideas often involving repetition rhythmic regularity and a high degree of textural transparency scored for a small conventional chamber group. This type of simplicity is more technical than psychological however; although the work will hopefully still provide a number of challenges in performance for each of the three players. The work hasthree short movements: a slow opening movement featuring a gently rising dialogue between the violin and piano; a flowing central movement with a flexible tempo marking contrasting a persistent figure in the violin with rapid figuration in the piano finally giving way to a slower cello passage; and a rapid almost mechanical final movement with both cello and violin playing pizzicato. - Joseph Phibbs

Tagebucheintragungen, persönliche Botschaften. Par KURTAG GYORGY. The piano series entitled Games, written from 1973 onwards, was conceived as a piano method. As the years went by, the series lost its didactic character, at it came to be seen as a document from Kurtág's workshop, offering a key to his grander symphonic, chamber and vocal works as well.Tenth volume is divided into two parts: In the first half, earlier, hitherto unpublished pieces line up from Suite, written in 1943, to the 1980s, providing insight into the development of Kurtág's musical language. The second half includes pieces composed between 2002 and 2011. The movements, often aphorismic in their briefness, hide associations with various aspects of European music history. Many of them are hommage or in memoriam pieces, or subjective personal messages to friends, colleagues, and beloved family members - and thereby to all music-loving people.

First performance 12 October 2011 at St George's Hall Liverpool by David Pyatt (horn) and the Sacconi String Quartet as part of the Centenary Concert of the Rodewald Concert Series.Composer's NoteThroughout my musical life I have found the horn one of the most evocative and beautiful of all instruments and it is no surprise that I have written a number of works for it including a concerto a trio with violin and piano and a triptych of concert works for horn and piano. Writing a work for horn and string quartet has long been an ambition therefore fuelled not only by my love of the instrument but also by theastonishingly small repertoire of horn quintets.This work was commissioned to celebrate their centenary by the Rodewald Concert Society Liverpool who gave me an invaluable education in the masterpieces of the chamber music repertoire at their concerts which I attended regularly during my schooldays. The quintet is dedicated to Nancy and Douglas Brady two of my oldest and closest friends from Liverpool. It was written in 2010/11 and is continuous. There are however three main ?movements?: an opening quick one which is interrupted twice by brief slow interludes referring to the motto heard at the start a substantial slow movement which also contains two short scherzando sections (much as Brahms?s A major Violin Sonata has two quick trio sections in its slow movement) and a fast finale a descendant of the Beethoven one-in-a-bar scherzo.The scherzando interludes interwoven with the slow movement are frequently muted and have something of an other-worldly atmosphere perhaps Queen Mab came to deliver me of some dreams while I was writing it. At the end of the finale the furious activity gives way to an elegiac conclusion which I feel was greatly influenced by events in the world outside at the time of composition the music descending to a quiet sustained C on horn and cello. The work lasts just over 20 minutes and was first

Henry Purcell (1659-1695) held numerous appointments at the Royal court and Westminster Abbey and is considered by many to be the greatest ever English-born composer. His prolific workcovered all fields: orchestral ecclesiastical operatic theatrical incidental and chamber music were all enriched by his output. Three of his most popular works have been arranged here by Graham Lyons.

Proponents and critics alike may find the idea surprising that celebrated minimalist composer Philip Glass is an admirer and student of the Baroque literature for harpsichord. On consideration the driving staccato of theinstrument is an excellent match to Glass’s own rhythmically urgent musical energies and so it proves in this Concerto For Harpsichord And Chamber Orchestra.Glass adhered broadly to the fast-slow-fast three-movement form ofclassic concerti and his goal was to allow both the solo instrument and the Orchestra to have moments to ‘shine in the musical spotlight’.This concerto is designated as part of The Concerto Project recording series started byGlass in the year 2000 currently in four volumes and including eight concerti.American composer Philip Glass is widely known as one of the most celebrated influential and prolific of the modern composers. He is frequentlyreferred to as a minimalist though he prefers to call himself a composer of ‘music with repetitive structures.’ His operas among them the renowned Einstein On The Beach are performed across the globe and he has created workfor small and large ensembles film and experimental theatre and founded his own performing group The Philip Glass Ensemble.
