A Course in French Lyric Diction by author Deborah Williamson is a complete and comprehensive guide to French pronunciation, articulation, inflection, flow, and vocalization for singers and teachers of singing—ideal for any collegiate diction course. Available in both an instructor’s edition and a student edition, Williamson offers an overview of French lyric diction that addresses the language’s distinctive elements, information on syllabification, stressing, word rhythm, accent and other diacritical marks, and vocalic harmonization. In the sections on vowels, consonants, and liaison and elision, the author explores the nuances of French pronunciation, along with its unique challenges for the singer. Williamson presents vowels first by sound and then by letter, and organizes consonants by letter. All pronunciation is precisely transcribed into the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), an essential tool used extensively throughout the book. Williamson also provides a review of relevant IPA at the beginning of the book. For each section of the book, the author provides numerous practice worksheets so that students may apply newly acquired skills and knowledge to French text from the standard art song and operatic repertoire. The separate instructor’s edition provides all of the answers in red for quick reference, as well as reproducible materials for in-class use, including a sample syllabus, assignment sheet, test review sheets, two tests, an oral exam, and a final exam. A Course in French Lyric Diction is an expert resource that will facilitate the mastery of French diction and transform the study of diction from a pedantic, syllabic production of language into an expressive communication of the text, a worthy goal for students and teachers alike. Deborah Williamson is Professor of Voice at Baylor University and has taught French diction at the university level for more than twenty years.

Based upon the classic Christmas carol Good King Wenceslas, composer Deborah Baker Monday takes us on a historical journey that depicts the story of how Wenceslas became the good King. Deborah has created a stunning new piece that is dark and foreboding at the start, depicting the evil that was around during Wenceslas' time. But the goodness of the King wins out and the piece ends triumphantly as the carol is then brought to us as we know it: Good King Wenceslas, the man that became a saint. This exceptionally fresh and different take on a popular Christmas song is perfect for your next holiday concert.

Ern Dohnányi (1877 - 1960) composed his C minor fantasia in 1892, at the age of fifteen.This work, which is appearing in print now for the first time, is a real curiosity: apart from a few polyphonic stylistic exercises written while he was at the music academy, this is Dohnányi's only piece for organ. The composer later recalled his first acquaintance with that instrument thus: 'My experience with the organ actually dates back to when I was a third-year grammar school student, for beginning with that year I served as organist for the Sunday worship services in the grammar school's church. These were the first wages I ever earned through music.' The Fantasie wasprepared for publication on the basis of the composer's manuscript by the well-known Dohmányi researcher Deborah Kiszely.

Das Werk, welches nun erstmalig in Druck erscheint, ist ein echtes Kuriosum: Abgesehen von ein paar wenigen polyphonen Stilübungen aus der Musikakademie ist es das einzige Orgelwerk des Komponisten. Dieser erinnerte sich später folgendermaßen an das Kennenlernen des Instruments: Meine erste Begegnung mit dem Orgel reicht bis zur dritten Klasse im Gymnasium zurück. Ab dieser Klasse nahm ich sonntags die Funktion des Kantors in der Kirche der Schule ein. Das war mein erstes Geld, was ich mit Musik verdiente. Die Fantasie wurde von der bekannten Dohnányi-Forscherin Deborah Kiszelynach dem Originalmanuskript herausgegeben.

Deborah's setting stays very true to the original, but enhances it for use by the full ensemble. Alert your contest/festival music committee to this worthy new piece for high school string orchestras.Alexander Glazunov (1865–1936) lived during a very transitional period of Russian music history, active as a composer, conductor, and teacher. He was a part of the Romantic school of Russian music following in the tradition of Tchaikovsky, like his fellow composers Borodin and Rimsky-Korsakov.During his years at the conservatory he instructed many students who chose to pursue the modern trends set forth by Debussy. Stravinsky, Shostakovich, and even Prokofiev took instruction from Glazunov. Although they considered him old-fashioned, he was remembered as a stabilizing influence during transitional times.Glazunov’s music stayed within the category of Russian Romanticsm: nationalistic with classical formality. His list of works includes numerous symphonies, concertos, piano and vocal works, and chamber works including seven string quartets.Op. 15 was first given the title “Suite” (a collection of dances), and after a friend’s recommendation he changed the name to “Novelettes”. The five movements are of contrasting style, but beautifully reminiscent of their particular themes:I. Alla SpagnuolaII. OrientaleIII. Interludium in modo anticoIV. ValseV. All’ UnghereseThis movement is very well adaptable for string orchestra. The original string quartet moodis light, using harmonics and pizzicato, but there are forceful sections which allow for strong sectional playing (especially with the cello and bass orchestral sound). There is very much interesting melodic material offered for all instruments which lends itself to a fantastic string orchestra arrangement. Conductors will find material in all sections which provide greatopportunities for rehearsal.The form is a large ABA with a D.C. al fine, but the sections are not square by any means.There is lots of energy and momentum in the material of both sections, as well as a modalcharacter which gives the music an exotic sound. Bowing patterns abound in all sections formore great teaching opportunities.

A high quality setting of the Thomas Morley hymn, Sing We and Chant It, by popular writer Deborah Baker Monday. Deborah understands the idiomatic nature of the string orchestra and always provides teachers with music that can be used to teach as well as inspire musicality.Thomas Morley (ca. 1557-1602) lived in England during the Elizabethan period. It was a time during the reign of Queen Elizabeth when the arts, and especially music, flourished.Morley studied serious music with William Byrd and attempted to compose in his style while holding an organ post at St. Paul's Cathedral. He was inspired by a new vocal publication brought to England from Italy. These madrigals were where Morley finally found his compositional direction. He took aspects of the Italian style, which suited his personality and anglicized them by applying the English language and musical tradition. His works are considered to show a wider variety of emotional color, form and technique than other English composers of this period.
