Balafon, the first of Christian Lauba's Neuf Etudes for Saxophone, is an 'African song? that uses the ancient technique of circular breathing. This soloist work - splendidly performed in the album 'Hard? by Richard Ducros, one of the greatest interpreters of Lauba's works for saxophone - was expanded and transformed, with the composer's approval, by saxophonist Philippe Geiss into a piece for Saxophone (tenor or soprano) and electronics under the title Blue Balafon. The arrangement calls for 'free articulation in a 'jazz legato' spirit?, making the use of circular breathing optional in order to favour the piece's incredible energy. The score comes with a CD that includes a complete version of the work performed on Saxophone by Philippe Geiss, as well as an electroacoustic accompaniment isolat­ed for playback. This eclectic musical adventure proves itself both stimulating for the mind and invigorating for the senses. / Saxophone Tenor Ou Soprano

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. This three-movement symphony musically depicts the history of Hungary. Key historical figures, wars and other important events from this country inspired all three movements. The first movement depicts Atilla, the King of the Huns, and is characterised by fear, threat and aggression. The second movement focuses on Árpád, the founder of the Hungarian State and the final movement is named after István, the King who introduced Christianity into Hungary. The beautiful theme of the national hymn appears throughout the symphony, however it is often partially hidden. It is used as a “thread, ” hardly recognizable at the beginning, becoming more and more obvious near the end and itconcludes the symphony as the “final apotheosis, ” making the band sound like a majestic living organ. / Niveau : Très Difficile / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band

In the second half of the 18th century, the forteiano emerged as the popular Keyboard instrument and the demand for books of instruction arose. The Introduction To The Piano created by Johann Christian Bach and Francesco Pasquale Ricci was one of the earliest. It focused on a sense of style rather than technical expertise. 'Without taste one may do great things, but only taste makes them interesting,' the authors write.J C Bach was the youngest son of J S Bach and received his earliest musical education from his father and from C P E Bach, making this Piano method book the work of a musician who was taught by Bach himself. Most of the exercises come from J C Bach's pen and they are a microcosm of musical styles of the era. The book includes, among other things, discussion of tone or tonality, mode, key, measure 'and its different species', accidentals, forms of composition, regulated practice and more. / Piano
