The four dances featured in this new volume aim to complement individual instrumental teaching and to develop the studentsâ?? taste for ensemble playing. De vier dansen in Four by Four zijn bedoeld als aanvulling op de individuele studie, en vooral gericht op de ontwikkeling van de belangstelling van de student voor het ensemblespel. De arrangementen zijn speciaal geschrevenvoor instrumentalisten die al twee of drie jaar spelen. In deze kwartetten heeft elke partij een specifieke, essentiële rol te vervullen op het melodische, ritmische en harmonische vlak.Vier Tänze für vier Violinen. Die Tänze in Four by Four sollen vor allem den SpaÃ? am gemeinsamen Musizieren wecken. In diesen Quartetten kommt jeder Stimme eine besondere Rolle zu, sowohl in melodischer als auch in rhythmischer und harmonischer Hinsicht. Les quatre danses qui composent ce recueil ont pour objectif de compléter la formation individuelle et, surtout, de faire aimer la musique dâ??ensemble. Les arrangements ont été spécialement écrits pour des violonistes ayant déj 2 ou 3 années de pratique. Dans ces quatuors, chaque partie a un rôle précis et indispensable, que ce soit au niveau mélodique, rythmique, ou encore harmonique.MULBERRY BUSHCette célèbre danse traditionnelle anglaise, caractérisée par un 6/8 allant, débute par une exposition du thème, dâ??abord lâ??unisson octavié, puis sous forme de mélodie harmonisée. Contrastant avec lâ??introduction, un développement de la mélodie sâ??ensuit, soutenu par des notes en valeurslongues. Une reprise du thème mène le développement vers une conclusion colorée.HAURRAK IKA SUZUELa gaieté se manifeste dès lâ??introduction de cette danse traditionnelle caractère ostinato ternaire. Lâ??accompagnement de la quatrième voix nous plonge dans un mouvement de valse malgré le chiffrage de mesure en 6/8. La mélodie est alternativement exposée par les première et quatrième voix tandis que les deuxième et troisième voix, plus discrètes, développent un soutien harmonique.BOUBLITCKHYCette danse aux accents typiquement russes est particulièrement intéressante dans la mesure où elle permet aux instrumentistes dâ??élaborer une lecture très personnelle. Malgré les indications de tempos, lâ??interprétation reste libre, dégageant un charme unique mêlant joie et nostalgie.DANSE BASQUE ESPAGNOLEDès les premières mesures de cette charmante Danse basque espagnole, la musique dépeint lâ??ambiance de cette magnifique région dâ??Espagne. Lâ??introduction lâ??unisson affirme admirablement le mode mineur quand survient, le mode Majeur. Le contraste est saisissant. La mécanique dâ??opposition entre Majeur et mineur sâ??installe et se répète avant dâ??aboutir une conclusion brève mais déterminée. Lâ??insegnamento di uno strumento è spesso individuale. Seppure necessario, questo approccio resta insufficiente per rispondere alle esigenze pedagogiche di oggi. Le quattro danze (Mulberry Bush, Haurrak Ika Suzue, Boublitchky, Danza basca spagnola) di questa raccolta hanno lo scopo di completare lâ??insegnamento individuale e, soprattutto, di far amare la musica dâ??ensemble.

The Renaissance era, lasting from the mid 1400s to about 1630, is one of the most distinctive and revolutionary periods in the arts, and music is no exception. Composers like Dufay, Josquin, Tallis, Victoria, Palestrina, Gabrieli, Praetorius, and Byrd were visionaries whose transformational music developed alongside the paintings and sculptures of Botticelli, da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. In this remarkable book, a companion to Performance Practices in the Classical Era and Performance Practices in the Baroque Era, noted scholar and conductor Dennis Shrock draws from primary sources to document and explain authentic performance practices of Renaissance era music—in many cases eye opening and rarely employed today. Insightful chapters cover topics including vocal and instrumental sound, tempo, articulation, phrasing, ornamentation, and expression. Like a restorer uncovering the original brilliance of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, Shrock’s work reveals the rich and colorful nature of this wonderful music as originally intended. Performing Renaissance Music—together with Shrock’s companion recording Renaissance Reborn—is an insightful, colorful, and comprehensive portrait, certain to assist anyone who seeks to better understand the music of the great Renaissance composers. This book is a vital resource for any conductor, performer, or aficionado of Renaissance music. Dennis Shrock is author of six books published by GIA: Performing Renaissance Music (2018), Performance Practices in the Baroque Era (2013), Performance Practices in the Classical Era (2011), Handel’s Messiah: A Performance Practice Handbook (2013), Music for Beginning Conductors (2011), and A Conductor’s Guide to Choral/Orchestral Repertoire, co-authored with James Moyer (2017). In addition, Dr. Shrock is author of three books published by Oxford University Press: Choral Repertoire (2009), Choral Scores (2015), and Choral Monuments (2017). Dr. Shrock has held faculty positions at Boston University, Westminster Choir College, the University of Oklahoma, and Texas Christian University, and has had residencies at Baylor University, the University of Southern California, the University of Mississippi, and Yale University. He has also served as Artistic Director of the Santa Fe Desert Chorale and Canterbury Choral Society of Oklahoma City, Interim Conductor of the Dallas Symphony Chorus, and Editor of The Choral Journal. In addition, he has been a frequent All-State conductor and lecturer at conferences of the American Choral Directors Association. He has received a number of awards and recognitions for his work. The City of Santa Fe declared December 22, 2003 “Dennis Shrock Day,†Westminster Choir College granted him an “Alumni Merit Award,†the state of Oklahoma conferred on him a citation for “Contributions of Excellence,†and the University of Oklahoma granted him two “Distinguished Lectureships†and named him a “Presidential Professor.†Dr. Shrock received a bachelor’s degree in music education from Westminster Choir College and both master’s and doctoral degrees in choral conducting from Indiana University. The cover artwork is a depiction of monks singing the office from a Gradual illuminated in the 1440s and used by the Olivetan Benedictines.

Zeitgeist; transformations; a departure for new shores these are buzzwords we often encounter nowadays. Above all in this digital age, it is essential that we face changes positively and that we make the very best of them. “Music is emotion!†Otto M. Schwarz begins many of his lectures with this phrase, and this is exactly what we feel in this new concert work. Rapid, and full of energy, is the leap into a new chapter—wonderful opportunities are waiting to be discovered in uncharted lands. But change is not only loud and momentous. The creative power of the future lies dormant in the inventive spirit of the individual—quietly, thoughtfully, silently and alone! The final sequence of this work is all about good vibes: it lights the way to a positive future and stands for the dawn of a new era!

Louis Anthony deLise is an American composer, pianist, and percussionist. The compositions in A Gift of Moments are typical of deLise’s composing style that often features the juxtaposition of disparate musical elements like serial technique, frequently changing meters, the urgency and drive of rock and roll, and the lush harmonies of 1960’s West Coast Jazz. Dr. deLise was Adjunct Lecturer of Theory and Composition at the Boyer College of Music and Dance (in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). He is the author of The Professional Songwriter, a textbook on songwriting. The title, A Gift of Moments, comes from something a friend wrote about her deceased husband. She described their too-short time together as, a gift of moments. (Time with someone you love is always too short, isn’t it?) Since February 2020, (since I’ve been locked down at home with my patient and loving wife, Theresa), like the rest of us, I’ve been reminded each day of just how delicate life is. My friend’s comment about her lost love has gradually revealed itself as a worthy title for the collection of music I was creating during this time of lockdown. All of the pieces in this collection are in some way about love: of a mate, of family, our way of life, and those beliefs we consider particular to us. The compositions are varied in style as they encompass musical gestures reflective of the many disparate musical traditions alive in my soul. With this unapologetically sensitive, perhaps even nostalgic, music of mine I intend to blur the arbitrary boundaries of genre classification, like classical or pop; ambient or orchestral. Special thanks to Vivian Barton Dozor, a wonderfully talented cellist who provided insight into bowing and phrasing for the cello parts.

This is a fascinating and important book for everybody even remotely interested in the history of American bands. Bryan Proksch has done some painstakingly thorough research in putting together an amazing assemblage of documents… This is a must-have book! —Jon Ceander Mitchell   The Wind Music Research Quarterly: Mitteilungsblatt der IGEB   (March 2022), 14–15 For the scholar, each entry presents an opportunity for expansion. For the teacher, this work provides source readings for courses on wind band history or for complementing Strunk or Weiss-Taruskin in university music history courses. That said, these documents stand as an enriching and entertaining read in their own right for anyone interested in the subject. —Michael O’Connor   Historic Brass Today 1/2 (Spring 2022), 32 The Golden Age of American Bands is ideally suited for courses on the history and literature of bands in America. Indeed, this volume could suffice as a textbook for adventuresome teachers in that it touches on the major musicians, instruments, ensembles, and functions expected of such a course. . . . Both private and classroom band instructors will find compelling glimpses into the history of their craft. [It is] bursting with opportunities to inspire curiosity in their students while effectively supporting their own curricular goals. —Benjamin D. Lawson and James A. Davis   The Journal of Music History Pedagogy Proksch’s new collection of documents is a most welcome step in the direction of getting [the story of bands] under control. The juxtaposition of documents from so many levels and types of ensembles proves to have a cumulative effect: one begins to see the subtle and long-lasting connections among them despite the big differences. It is easy to envision it as a supplemental text in a course on band history and literature, but the book is also just an absorbing read. There is much to learn here, and much to enjoy. —Ken Kreitner   Notes 79/2 (December 2022): 217-218 This is the story of the American wind band, told chronologically by those who experienced it in real time from 1835 to 1935. How did bands become bands? How did they rise in popularity? Which figures had insights and specific impacts on the development of the genre? Through source documents and articles, Bryan Proksch takes us on an extraordinary journey from the time of the first brass bands in the 1830s, through the Civil War and the golden ages of Gilmore and Sousa, to the cusp of the wind ensemble just before World War II. Hear from a young Frederick Fennell about his efforts to create the first band at Eastman. Read the outline of Allessandro Liberati’s unpublished trumpet method book. Eavesdrop on Karl L. King as he muses on the fate of bands after the death of Sousa. See Patrick Conway’s first undergraduate music education curriculum. Gawk as trombonist Fredrick Neil Innes embarrasses “world’s greatest cornetist†Jules Levy at Coney Island. Explore as Alan Dodworth revolutionizes bands. Retreat with a military band in the middle of a Civil War battle. Find out what it felt like to sit in a Sousa Band rehearsal. Ask Herbert L. Clarke why he thinks you should be playing a cornet instead of a trumpet. Find out how P. S. Gilmore managed to pull off the biggest concert events in American history. The book includes numerous rare and unknown illustrations to show you the places where band history happened. The documents include rare periodical excerpts, handwritten letters, and other writings taken from archives throughout the United States. These first-person accounts are certain to further refine and deepen our understanding and appreciation of American band history on a grand scale. Contents: Beginnings (1835–1859) The Civil War (1860–1865) The Jubilees (1866–1879) The Gilded Age (1880–1896) The Band Age (1897–1914) World War I (1915–1919) Transition and Decline (1920–1935)  Click here to download a FREE addenda.

Being the result of lectures held by the author in America, this book keeps the promise made in the title: to show the composer in his world, portray him in his workshop and describe the disputes he has to overcome with himself, with the idea, the 'material', the fashion, the audience. Hindemith examines the conditions under which it is possible for an artist to do creative work.A new music theory is emerging, developing out of elementary components in a generally comprehensible and clear way while discussing in particular the technical side of composing. In this juxtaposition of creative artist and environment, the severe and critical statements on prevailing conditions result from the high sense of responsibility which, in Hindemith's opinion, has to define the path of the musician.

Written by noted scholar and conductor Dennis Shrock, Choral Diversity is a presentation of composers throughout history who represent the broad and diverse canon of choral music. Included are twenty women composers and ten composers of color, many of whom have been previously underrepresented in studies and in performances. Each chapter presents overviews of the composer’s life and choral output, information and analysis of selected compositions, including complete texts and literal translations not found elsewhere, and guidelines that address related and important aspects of performance. Importantly, Shrock approaches choral diversity from multiple perspectives. Most notably, the book highlights the music of women composers—such as Hildegard von Bingen, Amy Beach, and Undine Smith Moore—as well as composers of color, including José MaurÃcio Nunes Garcia, William Grant Still, and Margaret Allison Bonds, among others. Rounding out his approach, Shrock also explores the lesser-known works of familiar composers such as Palestrina and Brahms. The book’s repertoire, too, represents a diversity of musical periods, styles, and genres—including chants, madrigals, chansons, motets, partsongs, oratorios, cantatas, and vocal chamber pieces—all of which are intended to be accessible to regular school, church, and community choruses. With its broad scope and scholarly authority, Choral Diversity is the ideal resource for conductors at all levels looking to diversify their concert programming in a practical and historically informed way. Dennis Shrock is author of ten books, three published by Oxford University Press and the remaining seven published by GIA Publications. He has held faculty positions at Boston University, Westminster Choir College, and the University of Oklahoma. He has also served as Artistic Director of the Santa Fe Desert Chorale and was a lecturer and member of the conducting staff at Yale University. Shrock received his master’s and doctoral degrees in choral conducting from Indiana University.
