Performed by Elaine Douvas, oboe Accompaniment: Erik Nielsen, piano This wonderful album for the beginning to early intermediate oboe player includes thirteen pieces ranging from Boccherini to Grieg to Richard Strauss to William Walton. Says James Roe of The Double Reed: “With the poise of a great virtuoso, [Ms. Douvas] approaches these 'easy' pieces as she would a solo line in a great symphony...the richness of her tone, the variety in her articulation, and the beauty and clarity of her line all represent the very best example for students as they develop their concept of playing. And it's all pretty inspiring for us professional oboists as well.” Ms. Douvas's extensive performance notes “are a delight, and will be inspiring to students and an important aid to teachers.” Includes a complete printed solo part annotated with performance suggestions and access to online recordings with complete versions (with soloist) followed by piano accompaniments to each piece, minus the soloist.

Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) wrote a lot of songs, several of which Jacob de Haan has arranged for ensemble of variable strength. The songs are: Fremad! Fremad!, Stille Nu! and Fola, Fola, Blakken. It has been arranged for beginner bands and can be played with a minimum of four players (+ percussion).

Edvard Grieg heeft een onuitwisbare invloed op de Scandinavische muziek gehad. De drie Noorse liederen die in dit stuk zijn verwerkt - Fremad! Fremad!, Stille Nu! en Fola,Fola,Blakken- zijn representatief voor het Noorsemuzikale karakter. Jacob de Haan heeft de liederen vakkundig bewerkt voor esembles met een variabele instrumentatie. Omdat ze zorgvuldig zijn georkestreerd voor moeilijkheidsgraad 2, is Norwegian Songs ook voor jonge orkestentoegankelijk. De rijke instumentale kleuren blazen deze aansprekende nummers nieuw leven in!

Jacob de Haan arrangierte drei Lieder von Edvard Grieg und fasste sie in einer dreiteiligen Suite für ein vierstimmig variables Ensemble oder Blasorchester mit optionalen Mallet- und Klavierstimmen zusammen. Die verschiedenen Charaktere der einzelnen Teile - von majestätisch über melancholisch-traurig bis zu ausgelassen-fröhlich - stellen Ihr Orchester auf die Probe. Ein höchst interessantes Werk, in dem viele Facetten Norwegens musikalisch dargestellt werden!

Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) a délibérément choisi de donner ses œuvres une touche norvégienne et nordique très personnelle. La notoriété de plusieurs de ses œuvres a dépassé les frontières de la Scandinavie. Ainsi, le Concerto pour piano en La mineur (1868) et la musique de scène Peer Gynt (1876) ont été salués par les mélomanes du monde entier. Edvard Grieg a également composé un grand nombre de mélodies, chansons et lieder. Jacob de Haana choisi d’arranger trois de ces chansons : Fremad!, Fremad!, une chanson au caractère majestueux ; Stille Nu!, plus mélancolique en raison de sa tonalité mineure et Fola, Fola, Blakken, unallegro plein de gaieté qui vient conclure cette petite suite en trois parties.

Text by Noel Goemanne.

Conversational Solfege is a dynamic and captivating first-through-eighth grade general music program that enables students to become independent musical thinkers with the help of a rich variety of folk and classical music. It is organized around increasingly complex rhythmic and melodic content. Each new rhythmic or melodic element is discovered first in patterns and then reinforced with folk songs, rhymes, and classical examples. Central to the Conversational Solfege program is the use of music harvested from our rich and diverse American musical history. This variety of music serves as a common thread that spans and bonds generations. Each book contains varied song material so the teacher can select appropriate music for the lower grades or older beginners. This 12-step teaching method carefully brings students from readiness to, ultimately, creating music through inner hearing and then transferring their musical thoughts into notation—in other words, to compose music! This CD provides 14 classical selections referenced in Conversational Solfege Level 2. These examples provide reinforcement for emerging literacy skills, and they also enable students to listen to wonderful classical examples with greater attention. Listening to classical music can be challenging for elementary students. With nothing to hang onto, the many notes can be too much to comprehend and attention soon wanes. But with minimal literacy skills, students will have enough musical information to discover that classical music can be accessible and appealing. In the included booklet, timings are given for each selection and the portions of the music that are readable by the students are reproduced. Whether using this CD with Conversational Solfege instructional materials or simply as a resource of classical music with simple to read rhythmic and melodic material, both teachers and students will delight in discovering this wonderful music through literacy. This series is a complete, innovative approach to teaching music that will stay fresh year after year. CONTENTS Conversational Solfege Unit 5: 1.
