In preparing arrangements for conducting ensembles, for schools and music schools, you don't need the tricks of the pros, but specific arranging strategies tailored to your own ensemble, your own group. So, although the vast majority of arrangements are educationally motivated, lacking so far has been a reference book on educational arranging. Sounds Good, combining decades of didactic experience on the part of composer Felix Janosa and music educator Jorg Sommerfeld, is the first standard work on the technique and strategy of pedagogical arranging: a compendium, both inspiring with its compact as well as comprehensive approach, while also valuably time-saving with its well-developed systematic working methods and efficient working techniques. Numerous examples for duos, trios, class music-making, for inclusive ensembles, school orchestras, big bands, choirs, combos, intercultural ensembles and many more application fields offer a huge fund of practical ideas. A compact educational instrument guide describes which skills and abilities can be expected from beginners and at which point in time. Also covered is the topic of arranging without notes or with computers and electronics.Sounds Good contains over 200 music examples, most of them also accessible as digital files. It further offers 30 practice projects with sample solutions; numerous tables and overviews serve as a useful resource for the everyday, teaching-staff arrangers. And, last but not least, Sounds Good is an exciting foray into the most diverse fields of music education.It's hard to imagine what I might have become if this work had existed earlier. But it's never too late.... Gotz Alsmann

This edition is the result of Harald Vogel's many years of practice as an organist and musicologist. The music text is based on a reevaluation of 17th- and 18th-century manuscripts containing the free organ and keyboard works by Buxtehude. They originated during a transitional phase between the traditional letter tablature and the staff notation still in use today. Since many works have survived only in transcriptions for staff notation, the editor was confronted with a high error rate, which he carefully analyzes in the Einzelanmerkungen. During the preparation of the edition, the editor always kept sight of the performance practice, but still, the image of the sources is never distorted (e. g. by superfluous rests, beaming not conforming to the sources and the unhistorical adjustment of time signatures) and stays very close to the compositional notation, the letter tablature. The flexible use of three staves and the differentiated distribution of the voices on the staves allow for an approximation in reading conventions of historical notation with its resulting information about hand division. Grouping the free organ repertoire into works with obbligato pedal and works for manuals, this edition is organized in two volumes. The first subvolume (I/1, EB 9304) contains the Preface and the Preludes, whereas the second subvolume (I/2, EB 9305) contains Toccatas, Ostinato works, alternative versions and a comprehensive Critical Commentary (in German only). Volume II (EB 9306) contains Buxtehude's free organ and keyboard works (manualiter) with the corresponding texts (Preface and Critical Commentary).Until 1971, Harald Vogel worked on a dissertation (with Georg von Dadelsen, Hamburg) on Die Fuge um Bach. Besides the description of the inclusion of triple measures into the C notation and the irregularities of the voice mutation in the polyphonic structures, this also included a discussion about the justification of the inner textual criticism. With the inner textual criticism, deviations in parallel passages are unified. The North German fugue style, reaching a peak in Buxtehude's work, is characterized by a constant diversity of details in subject and polyphonic progressions. One of the indicators of the fantastic style is the dissolution of the polyphonic structures at the ends of the fugues, evident in Buxtehude's work.In this edition, a musical text is presented that avoids the uniformity of detail not conforming to the sources. However, there are many examples of transcription and cursory errors, which are analyzed in a methodical systematic manner. About the editor: As an organist, professor, organ expert, and scholar, Harald Vogel has rendered outstanding services to the interpretation of early music and especially to historical performance practice concerning the organ for decades. He has received numerous awards, including an ECHO Klassik as Instrumentalist of the Year (2012), honorary doctorates from Lulea University of Technology (Sweden, 2008) and Oberlin College (USA, 2014), as well as the Buxtehude Prize of the City of Lubeck (2018). Harald Vogel is the author and editor of numerous scholarly publications and editions. Through his lifelong performance practice, he can look back on an extensive discography, including the complete recording of Buxtehude's organ works, which he recorded in various locations with historical organ instruments of the North German organ building tradition in Scandinavia, North Germany and the Netherlands.
