A Walk To Brahms

The Lieder Anthology. 65 Songs by 13 Composers. This edition presents 65 diverse songs by major composers of German art song, or lieder, and is the perfect one-volume lieder source for voice students. All the songs are new Vocal Library editions. Historical notes about the relevant history and background of each song are included, as are line-by-line translations for study. A select committee of experienced voice teachers was consulted to choose the most essential and vocally instructive songs in compiling this collection. Composers represented: Beethoven, Brahms, Franz, Gustav Mahler, Alma Mahler, Fanny Hensel, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Schubert, Clara Schumann, Robert Schumann, Strauss, Wolf. Co-editor Dr. Virginia Saya, on the faculty of Loyola Marymount University, is a musicologist with a special interest in lieder. This collection includes the first American edition of Funf Ophelia Lieder by Brahms. 288 pages, sewn binding.

Dense movement structures dialogizing in pairs and a darkened overall sound are what Mozart, Schubert and Brahms already thought to be fascinating in the genre of string quartet. Following this tradition, the composer and violist Brett Dean created 'Epitaphs', an homage to five recently departed colleagues and friends to each of whom is dedicated one movement of the 20-minute work. It was premiered at the Cheltenham Festival 2010 by Dean and the Australian String Quartet. / Quatuor A Cordes

Ruders writes: There's a solid tradition in the history of Western music of turning the theme of Nicolo Paganini's '24th Caprice' for soloviolin into a set of variations endemic to the time and style of each individual composer; Liszt Brahms Rachmaninov and Lutoslawsky being the most prominent names. When asked by David Starobin to write a concerto for him I though 'well why not have a go at it?' - bearing in mind that not only is Paganini the most celebrated violin-wizard of all times but he was also a more than accomplished guitarist. There are 22 variations in all numbers 1 to 16 all adhering strictly to the 16-bar pattern laid down by Paganini himself. From variation17 though the writing becomes more symphonic and the rigid 16-bar regime is being lossendes up a bit. However the last variation 'Finale Prestisimo' is a 6 x 16 bars 'white-knuckle ride' in which the hitherto soloistic role of the guitar gives way to that of 'primus interpares' i.e. 'first among equals'. As with another set of variations of mine 'Concerto on Pieces' (based on a tune by Purcell) the nature and shape of the 'Pagannini-Variations' may be compared to a stroll through a hall of mirrors: the 'portrait' - the theme is gradually being distorted out of all recognition - but it's still the same 'original' walking by.
