As performed by Carmen McRae (including the spoken intro) here is John Clayton's sensitive and gorgeous version of For All We Know. The rich ensemble accompaniment is as much a part of the arrangement as the vocal solo. (Requireswoodwind doubles on flute clarinets and bass clarinet)

This classical horn concerto has been masterfully transcribed for wind ensemble accompaniment by Robert W. Rumbelow. The first movement, Allegro Maestoso, is in traditional sonata form; the second, Andante, is virtually an ensemble piece with featured horn solo; and the third, Rondo, contains elements of the hunting horn motif that Mozart favored with the horn. This superb selection is an unforgettable opportunity to feature an outstanding horn soloist.

Op. 118-Dans A BOUNDARY ISLAND le compositeur souhaitait exprimer le caractère universel de la musique en tant que langage qui permet à tout le monde de communiquer.Deux thèmes sont présentés au début de la pièce : le premier dans un style de fanfare rappelle un passage de l?introduction de la 5e symphonie de Mahler. Il contraste avec le deuxième motif plus mélancolique. La section principale très animée introduit une nouvelle trame puissante tout en reprenant les premières thèmes en les traitant différemment. Après un bref retour au tempo plus lent de l?introduction la pièce s?achève sur un rythme rapide.

On Track-13 specially commissioned pieces which aim to breathe new life into a largely neglected component of the GCSE/Key Stage 4 Music syllabus Ensemble Performance.On Track comes complete with a CD-Rom containing all theparts for all the pieces and transpositions for any instrument and these parts come with a licence for printing as many copies as needed directly from the CD-Rom.

On Track is a fantastic collection of many different styles approaches and sounds. There is something in here for everybody at whatever level and on whatever instrument. This is what GCSE Musicteachers are crying out for and finally here is something that really hits the mark.' Harrison's comments are echoed by recent examiners' reports from EdExcel one of the largest examiners of GCSE music. Theydescribe how the music they heard in examinations demonstrated 'an extreme range of standards and revealed evidence of the very wide range of instruments in use'. The AQA (Assessment and Qualification Alliance) Examiners' reportin 2004 warns schools against allowing their students to present solo music with a piano accompaniment played by a teacher or with a CD accompaniment for the ensemble performance component. It continues saying that 'it is of utmost importance that the chosen ensemble allows the candidate to show rapport with the other player(s). This is a significant requirement with which many [examination] centres did NOT

Par MILLER DONALD. These books are arranged to be performed with various combinations of instruments. This volume presents some of the most beloved repertoire for the Christmas season. Some works are well known, others will sound fresh and new to most players. The pieces may be performed as a solo for each instrument (Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola or Cello) with piano accompaniment, or as duets or trios, as well as full orchestra. If performed with full orchestra, the piano accompaniment should not be used. The string ensemble series meets all standards for ASTA (American String Teachers Association) and Suzuki Association of the Americas, Inc. If performed with full orchestra, no solo parts should be played except the 1st violin part. Note also, if you wish to perform these works with full orchestra and you are short certain instruments, you still have some flexibility with the score. For example, if there are not enough violas for balance, the viola (harmony part) and 3rd violin part are identical. The part may be played with all 3rd violins or equally divided between 3rd violins and violas. / Niveau : Débutant / Christmas - Ensemble / Recueil / Alto, Violon 3 et Ensemble

Schnee - Ten Canons For Nine Instruments was composed by Hans Abrahamsen in 2006-08. Commissioned by Westdeutscher Rundfunk for 'Wittener Tage für Neue Kammermusik 2008' with support from Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung and The Danish Arts Council. Dedicated to Harry Vogt and Ensemble Recherche. Programme Note: In the beginning of the 90s I arranged some of J.S. Bach’s canons for ensemble – in total seven single standing works from his entire life span. I became totally absorbed into this music and arranged them with the intention of the music being repeated many many times as a kind of minimal music. Obviously I didn’t know which durations Bach had in mind but by listening to his canons in this way a profound new moving world of circular time was opened to me.Depending on the perspective on these canons the music and its time can stand still or move either backwards or forwards.In my own work an ongoing idea has persisted of at some point writing a work consisting of a number of canonical movements that would explore this universe of time. And when I was offered the commission for Ensemble Recherche and Wittener Tage it felt as the right time to do this.In Schnee a few simple and fundamental musical questions are explored. What is a Vorsatz? And what is a Nachsatz? Can a phrase be answering? Or questioning?The guideline or rule for the canons is very simple: We start out with an answering Vorsatz followed by a questioning Nachsatz. Throughout the time of the piece these two are intertwined more and more as more and more dicht geführt canons until at the end they are interchanged. Now the question and then the answer. The two canons are identical like a painting in two versions but with different colors. And where the first one does not include the space the second one does as well as containing more
