Blues Concerto

Karel Husa (b. 1921) is an American composer who was born and raised in Czechoslovakia. His Concerto For Trumpet And Wind Orchestra (1973) was commissioned by two American National Band Fraternities and premiered at their Biennial convention by the National Inter-Collegiate Band. It has been arranged here for Trumpet and Piano. The Concerto consists of three movements: Intrada Intermezzo Fanfare and demands the highest level of technical proficiency from the soloist. It uses a range of mutes with influences from blues jazz and Berlioz and calls for a range of some four and a half octaves.

Full Score-The songs and dances of the Americas born in the mountains jungles rivers and plains under the shadow of pyramids and temples nourished by the winds and the ocean waves of adventur courage suffering and endurance finally grew up in the cities of the New Continent. And ironically they conquered the collective soul of the whole earth. This concerto was inspired by those pianists (Scott Joplin Art Tatum Oscar Peterson Horacio Salgan Luis Eca and many others) who changed the face of popular music in the Americas. Like the great Romantic virtuoso-composers (I think of Chopin with his mazurkas waltzes and impromptus) their ideas and their fingers became one single entity one unique form of musical expression. Movements: I. Blues II. Tango III. Carnival

This volume from the popular 'Cellissimo' series contains 37 popular recital pieces from classical to pop music. It is suitable for lessons, performances and competitions. As there is little literature for the cello in jazz and pop style, this volume has a special focus on modern styles such as blues, jazz, pop, rock, funk, folk, Latin, or tango. The selection motivates and introduces to playing techniques of pop music (slide, hard chop etc). Many pieces can be played in the 1st - 4th position, while some also use harmonics or the 5th - 7th position. Entertaining music has existed at all times, so the volume also contains arrangements of popular classics: 'Eine kleine Nachtmusik' by Mozart, 'An der schönen blauen Donau' by Johann Strauß, 'Pomp and Circumstance' by Edward Elgar, or 'The Entertainer' by Scott Joplin.

for Trumpet (Flugel Horn) and Band-Chacun des trois tableaux de cette pièce captivante s?identifie par un caractère musical particulier. De style néoclassique le premier mouvement est pétillant et virtuose. Dans le deuxième mouvement - écrit pour le bugle - l?accompagnement offre un tapis sonore doux et romantique qui permet à l?instrument soliste de dévoiler son charme et son élégance. Le troisième et dernier mouvement baigne dans l?atmosphère ?bluesy? d?une soirée passée dans l?ambiance feutrée et enfumée d?un vieux club de jazz de Chicago. Cette pièce est également disponible dans une version pour Trompette et Piano. (1175-04-401 M S16)

The composer says: For years, my fellow guitarists have been asking me to compose a solo classical guitar piece that reflects that most American of musical styles?the blues. Their prodding was the motivation for Periwinkle Memories; the inspiration for the piece, however, really came from a maestro of extraordinary skill, and a teacher of even more extraordinary patience, Elias Barreiro, my guitar teacher at the University of New Orleans. I have always tried to emulate in my performances the beauty of his interpretations, and to fuse in my compositions the power and emotion of the blues. The name, Periwinkle Memories was a serendipity. I was struck by the light purplish-blue hue of the periwinkle, and soon learned the history of the funnel-shaped flower (Vinca minor.) Though it now grows wild in parts of the United States it is native to Australia, some consider it an invasive weed, most admire its extraordinary beauty. Common herbicides won?t kill it. The periwinkle is too vigorous and hardy for that. And now it is not merely a begrudged part of the American landscape, it is a vibrant part of the American landscape, elegant, stubborn, and nearly native. Like the blues. And like that young recalcitrant student Maestro Barreiro worked so hard to mold so many years ago. Ogden Nash said, ?One man?s remorse is another man?s reminiscence.? Periwinkle Memories is a celebration of Maestro Barreiro, and of both facets of that adage in me. Carlos Barrientos was born on June 25, 1954 in Tela, Honduras. He began his formal music studies at the National Music Conservatory in Guatemala City, Guatemala C.A. His training with Maestro Elias Barreiro, Director of Guitar Studies at Tulane University, was supplemented with Master Classes with Manuel Barrueco, Leo Brouwer, Juan Mercadal, Michael Newman, Tommy Tedesco and Carlos Barbosa-Lima. He studied composition under the tutelage of Dr. Jerry Sieg, University of New Orleans, and Dr. Roy Johnson, Florida State University. He consulted with Michael D. Martin, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Music, Albany State University, Albany, GA in the creation of a recordings library that reflects Western Art Music and American Jazz for the students at Albany State University. The New York Premiere of the First Movement of his Second Guitar Sonata was dedicated to and performed by Classical Guitarist Maestro Carlos Barbosa-Lima in 2003 at Carnegie Hall. At the request of U.S. Senator Bob Graham one of his compositions, Si Tu Te Vas (If You Go Away), was included on a recording to promote The Everglades Trail. In 2004, at the American Church in Paris, France the World Premiere of his Romance for Flute and Guitar was performed by the award-winning Serenade Duo, flutist Michelle LaPorte and guitarist Gerry Saulter. He has performed with such legendary musicians as Herbie Mann, Donald Byrd and Debbie Reynolds, led an on stage Renaissance Trio in a University of New Orleans production of Shakespeare?s Twelfth Night, and played incidental music for their production of Bertold Brecht?s The Good Woman of Sichuan. He has performed Carulli?s Guitar Concerto in A, Leonard Bernstein?s West Side Story and Marvin Hamlish?s A Chorus Line with the Northwest Florida Symphony Orchestra and Okaloosa-Walton Community College, Niceville, FL, and with the Southern Art Music Ensemble, a Jazz/Latin Fusion Sextet, including an Honors Convocation in Atlanta for Mr. Ted Turner. He has been a guest performer with the Albany State University Jazz Ensemble at The Fletcher Henderson Jr., Macon and Atlanta Jazz Festivals, and played the banjo in the Albany State University /Albany Symphony?s co-production of George Gershwin?s Opera Porgy and Bes
