BASI S set for use in music teaching: For every youth choir, making the transition from singing in unison to singing in parts is an exciting process. chorissimo! blue, the new volume for equal voices in our successful choir series chorissimo!, accompanies and supports this process. It contains a wide range of carefully-chosen and stylistically varied pieces, presented for flexible use, as well as versatile practical working material, including playback, audio and practice track CDs, and a DVD of video clips. The volume, structured for graded learning, progresses in six steps from unison singing, via canons and quodlibets, to homophonic and polyphonic two- and three-part pieces. Different workshops, some of which feature on the video clips, focus on individual aspects of choral work, such as warm-ups or beatboxing. All the pieces have a piano accompaniment; in addition, some pieces can be accompanied by additional instruments or band. Flexible part material is available for this. As well as the choral arrangements, for all the pieces the main volume contains a piano accompaniment, workshops (including beatboxing, warm-ups) and background information.

This is a complete Evensong setting which ranges from unison and two part singing (Preces and Responses) to three part voices (Nunc Dimittis, which calls for a soloist.) The organ accompaniment is sometimes merely supportive and at other times solidly featured (in the Phos Hilaron, for one example). Despite the fact that this was written for children's choir, we think it is a useful package for anyone who wants Evensong material that will carry you through the entire service from start to finish.

Four on the floor funk tune for strings?! How cool is that! This piece grooves from start to finish containing true funk rhythms, challenging your students, but well worth the effort!.
The title says it all. This riff-packed funk piece offers an exciting opportunity for students to explore the rhythms and sounds made famous by Sly and The Family Stone, James Brown, and Earth, Wind and Fire. A sample solo is provided, but fea- tured soloists should improvise their own solos using either an A-minor pentatonic scale (A, C, D, E, G, A) or an A-blues scale (A, C, D, D≥, E, G, A). While soloing, keep it simple and focus on creating short rhythmic riffs using two or three pitches, or choose a riff from the piece and embellish it. Drummers are encouraged to add to the written groove.

This stately concert opener was originally written by Jan Van der Roost for a special event in which six respected wind orchestras (two Belgian and four Dutch) of different composition (two symphonic bands, two fanfare bands and two brass bands) were featured during six concerts. Each evening brought forth a performance by a symphonic band, a fanfare, and brass band, so that the audience could experience all three types of ensembles. This was indeed an original concept.The name, ConZEnSus, comes from a combination of the words, ‘Concert Cyclus’ (concert series) and ‘zes’ (Dutch for ‘six’). This leads to a new word, which refers to ‘consensus’. The general tenor of the cycle isthus immediately indicated. The richness of color of the various ensembles is revealed through an open and friendly atmosphere. During all six concerts (over a span of three years), ConZEnSus functioned as a permanent opening number for each orchestra. Thus the same musical story was portrayed in three different packages.

Sona ta 5, in A major, is the only work in the set to feature the ‘classic’ three-movement design in its symmetrical Fast–Slow–F ast configuration. Its opening Vivace makes considerable demands on the flautist’s technique, and the accompanist, too, has some lively interventions. A short Andante, in A minor, recaptures the style of the slow movement of an operatic sinfonia. High spirits return in the concluding Allegro comodo, which manages to be frothy and substantial at the same time. Sonata 6 is in G minor, traditionally a key for serious utterances. Its muscular opening Largo packs in a wealth of interesting rhythmic designs and articulations for the flautist. The influence of violinistic style is clearly seen in the Allegro that follows. The finale is composite: its ‘frame’ is an Affettuoso in minuet rhythm, but its ‘core’ is a Poco Allegro in G major with the character of a second minuet. Despite its outward charm, this movement retains much of the heft of the first two movements.
