Snell II, Jon M. Stapleton, Smith R.K. Waylett, Richard S. Webb Musicianship: Improvising in Band and Orchestra provides philosophical, theoretical, and practical tools that have been desperately needed for band and orchestra teachers hoping to bring improvisation to their students. As Maud Hickey states in the Foreword, Improvisation should be as natural as drawing freely with crayons. Yet improvisation has remained elusive from most band and orchestra programs. This remarkable book contains practical lesson plans as well as all the necessary background information to help conductors incorporate improvisation into their work, with ensembles of any size or ability level. The lesson plans contain step-by-step instructions, including outlining prerequisites and detailed procedures that are flexible enough to apply to ensembles at a wide range of skill levels. Topics covered include: improvisation readiness strategies, working with large ensembles, a classroom case study, and teaching in a diverse environment. This book, edited by David A. Stringham and H. Christian Bernhard, is the latest in a pioneering series with dozens of other contributors. The Musicianship series editor Clint Randles has also produced a companion volume focusing on the equally challenging issue of composition. This important book will help band and orchestra conductors make improvisation a mainstay of their classrooms—as standards mandate—and will, of course, be of benefit to all students.

The acclaimed percussionist Christian Dierstein has joined forces with a research group at the Basel Academy of Music to examine the techniques of percussion playing from an innovative perspective. The main focus falls less on the instruments than on their sound producers: beaters, mallets, sticks, bows, specific manual techniques up to and including electronic pulse generators. This book describes all of them in detail and illustrates their range of application in carefully selected and annotated examples from the repertoire. Many essays by guest authors such as Nicolaus A. Huber, Steven Schick, Fritz Hauser and Bernhard Wulff relate the performance descriptions to ongoing aesthetic debates. They reveal that sound production and interaction with sound-generating objects have moved centre stage in contemporary composition and its expanded concepts of material and performance. The result is a comprehensive reference book for composers and performers that will also serve as a source of inspiration for future innovative approaches in percussion playing.The authorsChristian Dierstein completed his musical studies with Bernhard Wulff (Freiburg), Gaston Sylvestre (Paris) and Wassilios Papadopulus (Mannheim). A multiple prize-winner at music competitions, he has played percussion withEnsemble Recherchesince 1988 andTrio Accantosince 1994 together with Nic Hodges and Marcus Weiss. In addition he has been professor of percussion and contemporary chamber music at the Basel Academy of Music since 2001. Michel Roth is professor of composition and music theatre at the Basel Academy of Music and a member of its research department. As a composer he is a regular guest at music festivals, recently with a focus on music theatre. In 2017 Barenreiter published hisTechniques of Trombone Playingco-written with Mike Svoboda. This was awarded theBest Editionprize by the German Music Publishers Association in 2018.Jens Ruland studied percussion with Carlos Tarcha at the Cologne University of Music (2007-12) where he completed his performance and teaching degree with distinction. Since 2012 he has consolidated his studies with Christian Dierstein in Basel. He is a founding member ofhand werk(Cologne),232 percussion(Cologne),Ensemble New4Art(Switzerland) and the music theatre duoAkt-tkA(Spain and Switzerland).

Denmark Revisited - Danish choral works for mixed voices a cappella. The University Choir Lille MUKO and soprano Else Torp, conducted by Jesper Grove Jørgensen. For many years now there has been a broad international interest in performing Danish choral works, not least from the 20th century, but often the Danish lyrics have been a hindrance in realising this goal outside Denmark. With this in mind we have thought it important to make Danish choral music more available through the release of selected works in which the Danish text is translated into English. With the present choice we have endeavoured to present works which fully demonstrate the wide range and originality ofDanish choral music: the particular, lyrical Danish tone of Svend S. Schultz and Jørgen Jersild; the original simplicity of Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen; the characteristically Danish late romanticism of P.E. Lange-Müller and Rued Langgaard; and the music of composers with their own particular musical idiom, such as Vagn Holmboe, Bernhard Lewkovitch, and Bo Holten. We have also tried to choose works with lyrics by writers that are specifically Danish in origin, including Hans Christian Andersen, Johannes V. Jensen, and Tove Ditlevsen. We hope that this release will help to spread knowledge and understanding of Danish choral music outside Denmark. (Jesper Grove Jørgensen) Content P. E. Lange-Müller: 3 Madonna Songs Rued Langgaard: 3 Rosengaard Songs Svend S. Schultz: Denmark Revisited Vagn Holmboe: Songs Towards the Deep of Spring, op. 85 Jørgen Jersild: Three Danish Love Songs Bernhard Lewkovitch: 3 Motets, op. 11 Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen: 6 Simple Danish Songs Bo Holten: Rain and Rush and Rosebush.

The Wind Band is a completely new concept for class and group lessons with wood and brass players. It is aimed primarily at children of primary school age and is the result of intensive collaboration with music schools, wind bands and primary schools. The range is the same for all instruments, so that all songs and voices can be worked on together. Numerous exercises on approach, posture, intonation and register play, accompanying audio playbacks and a large pool of play pieces open up new perspectives for thewind class, from small group lessons to representative school preludes and concerts. With the brass band, we now have a well thought-out concept for young brass and woodwind players that promises methodologically meaningful and musically interesting class lessons. We can look forward to the continuation. (Lutz Gohmann, practicing & making music 6/09) 'Die Blaserbande' is an exciting concept for creative and practice-oriented music lessons in elementary schools and will certainly also offer many wind orchestras some new ideas for training their own offspring (Matthias Riedel, neue musikzeitung 11/09) Songs for every tonal space, mostly in German and generally in such a way that the children think it's cool, that is, they really see themselves as a gang - with real gang songs. [...] Above all, however, this is the essential characteristic of the brass band: the sound material is the same for all wind instruments!

Um Schumanns letzte Lebensjahre, die er in der Nervenheilanstalt in Endenich bei Bonn verbrachte, ranken sich Geruchte, Legenden und Mutmassungen. Opfer dieser Spekulationen ist nicht zuletzt Clara Schumann. Ihr Verhalten wahrend dieser Zeit wird in popularen Lebensbeschreibungen haufig negativ bewertet. Die vom Komponisten Aribert Reimann im Archiv der Akademie der Kunste, Berlin, deponierten Krankenakten werden in diesem Buch erstmals ungekurzt veroffentlicht, durch weitere bisher unbekannte Quellendokumente erganzt und in einem medizinhistorischen Beitrag kommentiert. Diese Publikation liefert der biographischen, medizinischen, psychologischen und kulturgeschichtlichen Forschung erstmals ein serioses Quellenfundament. Eine der wichtigen Buchveroffentlichungen zum 150. Todestag von Robert Schumann am 29. Juli 2006.

Das 3. Schumann-Symposion 1988 wurde aus doppeltem Anlass unter das Thema 'Robert Schumann in Dusseldorf' gestellt. Die 700-Jahr-Feier der Stadtwerdung Dusseldorfs gab Anlass, Leben und Wirken des bedeutendsten Komponisten, der in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts hier wohnte und wirkte, zu gedenken. Das Vorhaben der Schumann-Forschungsstelle, den Beginn der Gesamtausgabe mit den vernachlassigten spaten Werken zu beginnen, war zugleich auch Richtschnur fur das 3. Robert-Schumann-Fest in seiner Programmgestaltung. Das Symposion, die Arbeit an der Gesamtausgabe und das Fest waren so eng aufeinander bezogen. Die Ausstellung 'Schumann und die Dusseldorfer Malerschule' im Foyer des Tagungsortes dokumentierte bildhaft erganzend die soziale und kunstlerische Einbettung von Clara und Robert Schumann in die Dusseldorfer Gesellschaft. Zunachst erwies sich, dass durchaus trotz eines so geringen Zeitabstandes von nur drei Jahren zum vorhergehenden Schumann-Symposion wirklich neue Ergebnisse in der Schumann-Forschung vorgelegt werden konnten. Dazu bei trugen die wichtigen Quellen der Tagebucher und Haushaltsbucher, die Gerd Nauhaus 1982 und 1987 veroffentlicht hatte. Seine Anwesenheit gab Gelegenheit, die besondere Rolle des Schumann-Hauses in Zwickau fur alle Forschungsbemuhungen hervorzuheben. In den drei Vortragen und zwolf Referaten kamen zwar die beiden Schwerpunkte: Schumanns Lebens- und Wirkungsverhaltnisse in Dusseldorf, seine Begegnung mit einer besonderen rheinischen Kunstszene sowie das Spatwerk in seinem grossen Umfang voll zur Sprache, jedoch stellte sich bald heraus, dass das Verstandnis der Zeit und der Werke nur auf dem Hintergrund seiner fruheren Jahrzehnte zu begreifen und zu interpretieren ist. Mannigfache Faden verbinden Schumann mit seinen fruheren Wirkungsstatten und seinen jeweils spezifischen Schaffensprinzipien der einzelnen Gattungen.Obwohl die Generalthematik so auf eine bestimmte Zeitphase zugespitzt war, ergaben die Beitrage und Diskussionen bald, dass uber sich vernetzende Bezuge letztlich ganz allgemeine Dimensionen von Schumanns schopferischer Personlichkeit auch sein Spatwerk durchdringen und die forschenden Fragestellungen bestimmten. Naturlich behielten die Musik und ihre quellenmassige Uberlieferung ebenso wie Fragen der Auffuhrungsweise und der Rezeption ihren Stellenwert, jedoch weitete sich manche Analyse des Details aus zu den Grundfragen von Genie und Krankheit, neben dem Verhaltnis von Musik und Literatur trat jetzt verstarkt das Verhaltnis von Musik und Malerei in den Vordergrund, aber mit der nachrevolutionaren Zeit und dem Ortswechsel auch das Verhaltnis von Musik und Offentlichkeit, ja Musik und Politik. Wieder einmal zeigte sich gerade bei Schumann die romantische Einheit von Kunstler und Werk mit den geistigen und geschichtlichen Stromungen und Ereignissen seiner Welt.
