Summa

Par PART ARVO. Estonian minimalist composer Arvo Pärt has adapted his celebrated work, Summa, for recorder quartet. Originally written for four solo a cappella voices, it is also available in arrangements for string quartet, string orchestra, and choir with organ. Summa bears the distinctive qualities of Pärt's music, masking its great collective complexity with simplicity in each part. This arrangement can be played by soprano/alto 1/alto 2/tenor instruments or tenor/bass 1/bass 2/great bass. Phrasing marks are consistent with those of the vocal arrangement. Universal Edition makes a significant addition to the recorder library with this edition. For intermediate players./ Répertoire / 4 Flûtes à Bec

Par PART ARVO. 'I have developed a highly formalised compositional system, which I have been using to write my music for twenty years. Summa is the most strict and enigmatic work in this series', said Arvo Pärt in 1994. The neutral title itself embodies the essence of the content as the work is based on the text of the Latin Credo. The great simplicity of the piece masks its complexity. The underlying rules ensure that on the surface a cycle of continuous change is created while the deep structure possesses an order of stillness. Saale Kareda Originally written for four a cappella voices in 1977, the string quartet version dates from 1991. This edition adds a further version for 8 (4) Cellos./ Répertoire / 8 [4] Violoncelles

The Physiology Of Guitar Playing: Functional Anatomy And Physiomechanics-This comprehensive guide to the physiology of Guitar playing is the culmination of three decades of deep exploration of the guitarist's playing mechanism and is the most detailed presentation of Ricardo Iznaola'sthinking about these matters to date. Structured in three chapters Chapter 1 surveys basic anatomy and physiology of the upper limb with additional sections discussing general pedagogical considerations. Chapter 2 devoted to the right hand presents detailed information regarding digital joint behavior in general and as applied in actual activity on the guitar as well as introducing an analytical system to study and describe positionalattitudes or `frames' adopted by the hand in the course of playing. Chapter 3 discusses at length left-hand physiomechanics taking the concepts of shifting and mobility as fundamental categories encompassing all aspects ofleft-hand technique. Twenty-six anatomical figures over fifty photos and more than sixty musical examples with access to online video amply illustrate the text. 'In the spirit of ground-breaking scientific pioneers celebrated performer and pedagogue Ricardo Iznaola offers the guitar world the first volume of Summa Kitharologica a comprehensive and highly insightful examination of guitar technique in a remarkable mixture of soaring eruditionand down-to-earth practical and applicable approaches to the instrument. Like a modern-day Charles Darwin of the guitar his insatiable passion for discovery keen eye of the `naturalist' and relentless analytical mind havecarefully and methodically recorded previously little-known or little-recognized observations relationships and nuances about the natural principles at work in artful guitar playing. For guitar instructors serious students andeven advanced performers who desire to go beyond the `what' of guitar technique and delve into its `whys' and `hows' this may well be the definitive text.' - Henry Adams former editor Guitar and Lute
