After completing his studies with Zoltan Kodaly, the Hungarian composer Mathias Seiber (1905-1960) first worked as a musician in a dance orchestra on an ocean liner which gave him the opportunity to listen to jazz music in New York. From 1928 he taught the first jazz class worldwide at Dr. Koch's Conservatoire in Frankfurt. In the winter term of 1928/29, 19 students had registered with whom he gave a public concert on 3 March 1929 which was broadcast by Radio Frankfurt. After the Nazis had seized power, the jazz class was dissolved, Seiber lost his job and emigrated to London.In 1932 he wrote his piano cycle 'Leichte Tanze' (Easy Dances), one of the early examples of the adoption of jazz forms and styles in so-called serious music. The present arrangement for orchestra is easily playable and is aimed at youth and amateur orchestras. Instrumentation: 2 flutes, clarinet, oboe (ad lib.), alto saxophone, trumpet, bassoon and strings. Movements: Cake Walk - Novelty Foxtrot - Gipsy Tango - Waltz - Walzer - Blues - Charleston.

Originally written for violin and piano, William Grant Still's Suite for Violin and Orchestra was inspired by significant artists of the Harlem Renaissance. Each of the three movements depict three sculptures created in the 1930s: Richmond Barthé’s African Dancer, Sargent Johnson’s Mother and Child, and Augusta Savage’s Gamin. The suite follows traditional fast-slow-fast Classical form. The first movement, African Dancer, illustrates the unrestrained urgency of the dancing figure using varying tempi and hints of the jazz. Mother and Child, later arranged for string orchestra alone, sings a gently syncopated melody in a soothing lullaby. The final movement, like the child in the sculpture Gamin, invokes mischievous and playful motifs with blues-infused fiddle techniques.

Graham Lyons's lively mind is apparent in this arrangement of Christmas carols for wind ensemble created to mixed-ability ensembles to make music together. Part I is the most demanding while Parts 2 and 3 are more simplified. Then there are 'filler' parts for beginning musicians. The parts can be doubled however your needs and tastes desire. The sheet music includes a score and double sets of parts and is sure to be a concert favourite, includingmelodies of The Wassail Song, The Holly and The Ivy, Away in a Manger, The Coventry Carol and Unto Us A Boy Is Born.Graham Lyons is something of a polymath, which is not that unusual among musicians. Originally a pianist, heswitched to clarinet when he was inspired by Benny Goodman, but he also plays jazz bassoon. Lyons has performed with Orchestras and ensembles throughout the world, both in live performance and on broadcasts and recordings. Hehas written a book on Soviet international policy. If you or your students began your clarinet career on a Clarineo, a scaled-down instrument appropriate for younger students, then you have Lyons to thank as he is its inventor.

Nine pieces in 1930’s boogie woogie style with play-along backingCD featuring a live band. Titles include: Best Friend Boogie, BlueNote Boogie, Cool Boogie and Game Boy Boogie! Boogie Woogie, die Musik der 30er-Jahre, erlebt ihre Auferstehung in diesem Buch. Alle Stücke werden swingend von einer Live-Band auf der CD zuerst vorgespielt und dann begleitet. Le Boogie-Woogie a fait danser l’Amérique puis l’Europe pendant toute une décennie, au point qu’il est difficile de se représenter les années 30 avec un autre fond musical. Avec Boogie for Winds, le Boogie-Woogie a gardé son cachet original. Sur le compact disc, chaque morceau est tout d’abord joué titre de démonstration. L’instrument soliste peut ensuite interpréter les 9 pièces ‘en direct’ avec l’accompagnement d’un ensemble orchestral.
