Now, one of most unusual works of our time is available as study score in a facsimile edition: 'Delusion of the Fury'. At the time of creation, the great experimenter and sound researcher Harry Partch had fully developed his special scale system. By having specially designed instruments made, he created the prerequisites to bring his ideas of sound and harmony onto the stage. Using 25 of these special instruments, 'Delusion of the Fury' provides the opportunity to experience the musical universe of one of the most extraordinary American composers of the 20th century in all its nuances and hypnotic power.1.

Inspired by the alluring, human-like sound of the Ney (a Persian bamboo flute), Ranjbaran aims not only to highlight the modern flutist’s ability to play agile and brilliant passages, but also to emulate the delicate sound of the Ney, particularly in extended solo passages. The three-movement 27-minute concerto was commissioned by the Philadelphia Orchestra for its principal flutist Jeffrey Khaner. The piano reduction (published separately) was designed by the composer to be practical in recital performances. CONCERTO for Flute and Orchestra has been recorded for Naxos by Érik Gratton with the Nashville Symphony conducted by Giancarlo Guerrero.The melancholic tone of the Ney (the Persian bamboo flute) is known for its alluring sound, emulating the human voice. In Persian literature, the Ney is considered a mystic instrument capable of expressing deep human emotions.In writing my flute concerto, I aimed not only to highlight the modern flautist’s ability to play agile and brilliant passages but also to emulate the delicate sound of the Ney, particularly in extended solo flute passages.Two prominent characters permeate the first movement of my concerto. They are marked in the score as lamentoso, and con spirito, expressing grief and loss, and joy of living respectively. The lament is mostly expressed in several extended cadenzas for solo flute while the con spirito consists of robust and energetic fast sections played by all forces of the orchestra. Apart from these two characters there are moments of mystery, comedy and the grotesque, among others.In the second movement, the lyrical and poetic character of the flute is prominently presented in dream-like passages surrounded by shimmering and tender orchestral colors. The solo flute is left out in an agitated middle section that references the first movement. In the third section of the movement the solo flute returns in meditative fashion culminating in a duet with the harp.The third movement is written as one continuous quasi scherzo, challenging the limits of agility and brilliance of the flute. Some of the materials from the earlier movements are presented again with joyous character. The coda elevates the concerto into its brightest and most festive character, driving to the end with relentless energy.

With the ever-increasing Asian presence within American Christian communities, church musicians who serve these communities will do well to explore the musical roots of the diverse cultures represented therein. To date there has been no tool to assist in this musical study that approaches the accessibility, diversity, comprehensiveness and appeal of this DVD recording of the great teacher, I-to Loh, at work. Experience the beauty of indigenous hymnody from China, Taiwan, Korea, Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan, Philippines and other Asian cultures, each with their unique scales, melodic structure, ornamentation and accompaniment styles. Though sung primarily in English, some pieces incorporate easily sung phrases in original languages, printed phonetically. The scores for all of the music taught and performed on this DVD are included in a set of downloadable PDF files. These may be reproduced without further permission for study purposes. To reproduce multiple copies for performance, go to OneLicense.net, or contact the publisher. “First came Sound the Bamboo—music on paper from the pioneering work of I-to Loh across Asia. Then came its hymnal companion, giving us more of his thinking, with wisdom, stories, and passion. And now, the next best step: a DVD with songs come to life in sight and sound with teaching by I-to Loh. The testimonies also will inspire those who seek the unity of the church by honoring these treasures from the East that will bless churches everywhere.” Emily R. Brink Senior Research Fellow Calvin Institute of Christian Worship .

Includes two performance scores. With her composition Yin, Peilei Shang won the first prize at the Harald Genzmer Composition Competition 2016: Reminiscent of traditional Chinese music, Yin creates an individual and expressive atmosphere by means of sound effects embedded unobtrusively in the overall context. Special techniques are used in the flute and piano parts to produce the sound of the Chinese traditional instruments Xiao (like a bamboo flute) and Qin (a plucked instrument). A demanding and highly fascinating work for concerts and competitions. Shang, who earned her bachelor's degree in Beijing in 2014 and now studies in the composition class of Professor Manfred Stahnke at the Hamburg University of Music and Theatre as an exchange student, has composed a large number of small pieces for various instruments and music genres and has already won several international prizes for her compositions.

Having been interested in Mahayana Buddhism for a number of years, I went to a Buddhist monastery in upstate New York to study meditation in 1999. One evening, while walking alone by the side of the lake, I caught the sight of a 'V' shape floating and extending on the surface of the water. It was a beaver taking a swim under the moon. This image gave me insight into my relationship with silence: underneath the music is a profoundly deep silence upon which I seek to inscribe my signature through sound. It serves as a point of departure that led to a series of works.- Lei Liang.

Satoshi Yagisawa chose as the theme of this work the subject of Bushido, the fundamental Japanese code of samurai chivalry, and depicts the life of a heroic and passionate samurai knight of the 19th century. The Japanese-sounding mood can be furtherenhanced by the optional use of Japanese instruments such as drums and bamboo pipes.Voor dit werk koos Satoshi Yagisawa het thema bushido, de Japanse erecode van ridderlijkheid onder de samoerai (de Japanse krijgsadel). Hij schets in zijn muziek de levensweg van een hero sche en toegewijde krijger uit de 19e eeuw. De Japansesfeer kan desgewenst worden onderstreept met Japanse instrumenten, zoals trommels en slagwerk van bamboe.Satoshi Yagisawa wählte für dieses Werk das Thema Bushido, den fundamental japanischen Kodex des Samurai-Ritterordens, und zeichnete in seiner Musik den Lebensweg eines heroischen und leidenschaftlichen Samurai-Ritters im 19. Jahrhundert nach. Diejapanische Atmosphäre kann durch den optionalen Einsatz von japanischen Instrumenten, wie Trommeln und Bambusrohren, zusätzlich unterstrichen werden.The Life of a Samourai fait entendre au monde une musique évoquant l’esprit et l’histoire du Japon. Elle rappelle le code de vie des samoura s, qui exige loyauté et honneur, se transmettant de génération en génération tout en évoluant avec letemps. Cette oeuvre fait appel des instruments japonais tels que tambours et fl tes en bambou. Cependant, le compositeur a désigné des instruments pouvant remplacer ceux-ci afin que la pièce puisse être interprétée par des formations nonjaponaises.Satoshi Yagisawa ha scelto il tema del Bushido, il codice fondamentale giapponese dei cavalieri Samurai, descrivendo in musica la vita di un eroico e appassionato cavaliere Samurai del XIX secolo. L’atmosfera giapponese può essere ulteriormenteesaltata con l’utilizzo facoltativo di strumenti giapponesi, come tamburi e canne di bambù.
