This work in four movements is musically demanding and interesting for the pianist, though not as technically challenging as the composer's highly complex 'Eight Studies' (2 vols., ED 7068 and ED 7069). It is an example of the moderate French contemporary style. These four short movements are kept in a comparatively modern idiom and hence should appeal to a wider audience and entertain even the 'non-virtuoso'.

Ques tions abound about diversity in music education. How can we engage with diverse populations, repertoire, and identities while upholding integrity and achieving equity? What are cultural appropriation, othering, tokenizing, and essentializing? How can we avoid bias in our teaching and repertoire selection? How do we create a more socially just music education? These are critical questions with accessible answers. But if we are to become better music educators, we must reflect on these questions, our own identities, and our relationships with the music and people of the world. Realizing Diversity by Karen Howard is a groundbreaking and practical resource for crafting diverse and anti-bias music education in classrooms, ensembles, and studios at all levels—from preschool to university and community settings. At the book’s core is an Anti-Bias Framework intended to help music educators gain confidence and comfort in designing music curricula that are just, equitable, and make participants feel safe and welcome. Structured around the four social justice domains of identity, diversity, justice, and action, this framework explores topics of anti-racism, gender and sexual identity, power and privilege, disabilities, economic realities, empathy, and critical consciousness. Dr. Howard also includes discussion of educational movements in United States history, the challenging “world music” label and related authenticity, the hyper-prevalence of Western Eurocentric music, inclusive repertoire selection, as well as appendices with critical practices for educators and a sample curriculum. An indispensable book for pre-service, beginning, and veteran music teachers of toddlers through adults, Realizing Diversity considers the many separate but deeply interrelated questions related to creating a more socially just music education. Karen Howard is a frequent presenter working with teachers and presenting research related to creating a more socially just world of music education. She is Associate Professor of Music at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses related to children’s music, sociology of education, research methods, ethnomusicology, and matters of diversity.

Havin g been considered as a 'fashionable' and 'cliché' composer of his day, Hahn's compositions are possibly not as well-known as they ought to be. Portrait s De Peintres fo r Pianohowever, is one of many compositions that shatter these prejudices held, representing the engaging diversity of the composer's music.

Venezuelan-born Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) entered the Paris Conservatoireat 10 years old. He received a high standard of musical education from Decombes, Lavignac, Dubois and Massenet before becoming a prolific and versatile composer himself, writing works for all genres. For Hahn, music wasamagical art and his compositions often contain expressions of his otherwise hidden emotions and moods. Portr aits De Peintres is made up of four movements based on the poems of Marcel Proust, depictingfour different artists. Hahn's Portraits De Peintres co ntains a variety of different features, making for a pleasant and evocative work for intermediate pianists.

English Dances, Set I, opus 27, is a light classic composition that was written for orchestra by the British composer Malcolm Arnold in 1950. The set contains four dances that continue without pause: the individual movements are indicated by the tempo markings. The work came about at the request of Bernard de Nevers, at the time the head of publisher Alfred Lengnick & Co., who asked Arnold to write a suite of dances as an English counterpart to Dvo ák’s Slavonic Dances and Bartók’s Romanian Folk Dances. The première took place in the spring of 1951, played by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Sir Adrian Boult. Following the success of the first set, DeNevers asked the composer to write a second one, which Arnold completed the next year (Op. 33). The Andantino from the first set has been skilfully arranged and orchestrated for brass band by Ray Farr.

De set bestaat uit vier dansen die zonder onderbreking in elkaar overgaan: de afzonderlijke delen worden aangegeven met de tempomarkering. Het werk kwam tot stand op verzoek van Bernard de Nevers, destijds het hoofd van uitgeverij Alfred Lengnick & Co., die Arnold vroeg om een reeks dansen te schrijven als een Engelse tegenhanger voor de Slavische dansen van Dvo ák en de Roemeense volksdansen van Bartók. De première werd in het voorjaar van 1951 gebracht door het London Philharmonic Orchestra, onder leiding van Sir Adrian Boult.Na het succes van de eerste set vroeg De Nevers om een tweede, die Arnold een jaar later voltooide (opus 33). Het Andantino uit de eerste set is door Ray Farr meesterlijk gearrangeerd en ge nstrumenteerd voor brassband.

Versailles, composed by Christian Bouthier, reflectsa number of impressions of the royal castle inVersailles, near Paris. There are four movementsconsisting of Le Chateau, Le grand Trianon,L’Appartement du Roi and Les Grandes Eaux eachof which depicts a different aspect of Versaillesboth inside and outside. Bring a touch of regalnessto any concert band programme.

Versailles , gecomponeerd door Christian Bouthier, geeft een aantal indrukken weer van het koninklijke kasteel te Versailles, vlak bij Parijs. De vier afwisselende delen beschrijven achtereenvolgens Le ch teau (het kasteelzelf), Le grand Trianon (het extra complex dat Lodewijk XIV liet bouwen), L’Appartement du Roi (het appartement van de koning) en Les Grandes Eaux (de waterpartijen). De fraaie thema’s worden verklankt inboeiende, gemakkelijk te spelen muziek voor blaasorkest.

Ve rsailles, aus der Feder von Christian Bouthier, spiegelt eine Reihe von Impressionen des königlichen Schlosses in Versailles bei Paris wider. Die vier abwechslungsreichen Sätze beschreiben das Schloss selbst, den Nebenpalast Le Grand Trianon, die Gemächer des Königs und das weitläufige System an Wasserläufen und Teichen, welches die ganze Anlage einst versorgte. Prächtige Motive, verpackt in interessante, leicht spielbare Musik.

Versailles de Christian Bouthier est une suite en quatre tableaux inspirés du célèbre Ch teau de Versailles près de Paris.1. Le Ch teau Dès 1623, Louis XIII, le père de Louis XIV (dit le Roi-Soleil), construit Versailles un premier ch teau majestueux. Plus tard, l’architecte Philibert Le Roy s’est vu confier la t che de l’agrandir. Et durant des siècles, divers autres architectes se consacrent l’agrandissement et l’embellissement de ce superbe palais pour en faire cet ensemble de façades et de b timents majestueux, célèbre dans le monde entier.2. Le grand Trianon Trianon est le nom d'un village acheté par Louis XIV dans le but de construire sur ces nouvelles terres unautre palais. Cherchant se défaire du protocole trop pesant de Versailles, le Roi est Trianon plus proche des siens. Trianon demeurera un lieu de détente, loin de l'étiquette et des fatigues du pouvoir. Les travaux du premier Trianon débutent en 1670. De nombreux b timents et péristyles seront rajoutés au fil des années.3. L'Appartement du Roi En 1683, Louis XIV quitte son Grand Appartement pour vivre dans son appartement intérieur qu'on appelle l'Appartement du Roi. Depuis 1701, la suite des pièces est la suivante : salle des Gardes, antichambre du Grand Couvert, antichambre de l'Œil-de-bœuf, chambre du Roi, cabinet du Conseil. L'apparat des plafonds peints qui caractérisait le décor du Grand Appartement, fait place un décor sobre où les plafonds sont laissés nus. Cet allégement correspond un nouveau go t du Roi-Soleil.4. Les Grandes EauxTrouver les ressources en eaux pour les fontaines de Versailles fut la préoccupation constante du Roi-Soleil. Même en pleine guerre, il s'en inquiétait. Ce sera l’extraordinaire Machine de Marly qui apportera les eaux de la Seine Versailles. L’arrivée des eaux au Ch teau aura nécessité la construction d’un réseau hydraulique de rigoles, de fossés et d'aqueducs s’étendant sur près de deux cent kilomètres. L'ensemble demeure unique notamment par son état de conservation.

Over a period of four decades Jimmy Webb (b. 1946) has written hits for a number of singers including Glen Campbell, Art Garfunkel, Frank Sinatra, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Linda Ronstadt. His songs are often epic in character and include By the Time I Get to Phoenix; Up, Up and Away; Didn’t We; Wichita Lineman and Galveston. MacArthur Park (1968) was unlike anything that had gone before it. Running at over 7 minutes, it is 2 or 3 times the length of most pop songs and has an extended orchestral interlude. Richard Harris’ seminal recording topped the music charts in Europe, while peaking at number two on the U.S. charts. Philip Sparke has made this excellentarrangement for fanfare band, which is sure to become a regular feature on your concert programme.

MacArthur Park van Jimmy Webb, een nummer dat uitkwam in 1968, was niet te vergelijken met alles wat daarvoor was gemaakt. Met een duur van meer dan zeven minuten is deze song twee of drie keer zo lang als de meeste popsongs,ook het orkestraal tussenspel is bijzonder. Richard Harris’ originele opname stond bovenaan in de hitparades van Europa en op nummer 2 in de Verenigde Staten. Philip Sparke schreef een fantastisch arrangement dat zowel uw muzikantenals uw publiek zal aanspreken.

Jimmy Webbs Musik kennt jeder: sei es als Musik zur Fernsehserie Emergency Room oder als einen der Hits von großen Stars wie Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Linda Ronstadt und vielen anderen. Mit dem Popsong MacArthur Park gelang Webb ein Riesenhit im Jahr 1968. Das Lied über eine verlorene Liebe ist ungewöhnlich lang für einen Popsong und enthält ein ausgearbeitetes Orchester-Zwischenspiel. Grund genug für Philip Sparke, diesen Hit für Blasorchester zu bearbeiten.

Compendium Choral MusicKurt Thomas's Kleine Geistliche Chormusik is a collection of 20 motets that covers the whole of the liturgical year from Advent until Remembrance Day, including church-related occasions such as marriage, consecration day and funeral. Most motets are composed for four-part choir a cappella, some of them, however, are accompanied by organ, violin and/or flute. Nos. 2 and 5 are also scored for soprano solo and no. 18 for baritone (ad lib.). The exact scoring is often kept open since Thomas as a choirmaster knew about locally differing resources. Regular divisions of the choir into two or even three individual parts, however, seem to call for an appropriate number of singers. The often-quoted Lutheran chorales appear for instance in the form of a cantus firmus or in unison, giving the opportunity of including the congregation in liturgical usage. The performance in concert, however, can also be rewarding by emphasizing the diversity and suspenseful contrasts of this music. The new edition combines all previous single editions in a modern and easy-to-read engraving image.
