Diversions for solo saxophone was written in 2013. According to the dictionary, a diversion is the act or an instance of diverting or turning aside, something that distracts the mind and relaxes or entertains, or a maneuver that draws the attention of an opponent away from a planned point of action. Each of the four movements diverts and distracts, turning in all directions that are unpredictable and unexpected, but are entertaining and amusing all the same.

This work in four movements is musically demanding and interesting for the pianist, though not as technically challenging as the composer's highly complex 'Eight Studies' (2 vols., ED 7068 and ED 7069). It is an example of the moderate French contemporary style. These four short movements are kept in a comparatively modern idiom and hence should appeal to a wider audience and entertain even the 'non-virtuoso'.

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 the parts 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. A separate 'audio' CD also contains recordings of every piece. The book contains scores for each piece and extended notes by the composers to aid in the preparation of the music: there are 5 pieces for fixed ensembles and 8 pieces for flexible ensembles. The editor of the compilation, Sadie Harrison, comments: Playing in an ensemble with one's peers is perhaps the most rewarding and satisfying thing to do as a young performer, and it is crucial to nurture this element of GCSE courses to reflect this. 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 Music teachers 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. They describe 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' report in 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 comply.

Questions abound about diversity in music education. How can we engage with diverse populations, repertoire, and identities while upholding integrity and achieving equity? What are cultural appropriation, othering, tokenizing, and essentializing? How can we avoid bias in our teaching and repertoire selection? How do we create a more socially just music education? These are critical questions with accessible answers. But if we are to become better music educators, we must reflect on these questions, our own identities, and our relationships with the music and people of the world. Realizing Diversity by Karen Howard is a groundbreaking and practical resource for crafting diverse and anti-bias music education in classrooms, ensembles, and studios at all levels—from preschool to university and community settings. At the book’s core is an Anti-Bias Framework intended to help music educators gain confidence and comfort in designing music curricula that are just, equitable, and make participants feel safe and welcome. Structured around the four social justice domains of identity, diversity, justice, and action, this framework explores topics of anti-racism, gender and sexual identity, power and privilege, disabilities, economic realities, empathy, and critical consciousness. Dr. Howard also includes discussion of educational movements in United States history, the challenging “world music†label and related authenticity, the hyper-prevalence of Western Eurocentric music, inclusive repertoire selection, as well as appendices with critical practices for educators and a sample curriculum. An indispensable book for pre-service, beginning, and veteran music teachers of toddlers through adults, Realizing Diversity considers the many separate but deeply interrelated questions related to creating a more socially just music education. Karen Howard is a frequent presenter working with teachers and presenting research related to creating a more socially just world of music education. She is Associate Professor of Music at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. She teaches undergraduate and graduate courses related to children’s music, sociology of education, research methods, ethnomusicology, and matters of diversity.

Having been considered as a 'fashionable' and 'cliché' composer of his day, Hahn's compositions are possibly not as well-known as they ought to be. Portraits De Peintres for Pianohowever, is one of many compositions that shatter these prejudices held, representing the engaging diversity of the composer's music. Venezuelan-born Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) entered the Paris Conservatoireat 10 years old. He received a high standard of musical education from Decombes, Lavignac, Dubois and Massenet before becoming a prolific and versatile composer himself, writing works for all genres. For Hahn, music wasamagical art and his compositions often contain expressions of his otherwise hidden emotions and moods. Portraits De Peintres is made up of four movements based on the poems of Marcel Proust, depictingfour different artists. Hahn's Portraits De Peintres contains a variety of different features, making for a pleasant and evocative work for intermediate pianists.

The Austro-Hungarian composer Erwin Schulhoff (1894-1942) was musically precocious: At the suggestion of AntonÃn Dvorák, he receivedpiano lessons at the age of seven, and at the age of ten became a student at the Prague Conservatory. Further piano studies in Vienna, Cologne and Leipzig as well as composition lessons with Max Reger supplemented his education. His Jewish heritage, which defamed his music as “degenerateâ€, and his sympathy for communism, however, cost him his life. In Prague and finally interned in Wülzburg near Weissenburg in Bavaria, he died of tuberculosis. Schulhoff's musical significance lies in the integration of jazz into art music, for example in his oratorio H.M.S. Royal Oak or in his Hot Sonata for alto saxophone and piano. He earned his living as a jazz pianist for a long time. In August 1922 he wrote four short piano pieces, his Rag Music, to which he added four more phrases in November: released as Partita, also known as Jazz-like Partita - with the fashion dances Ragtime, Foxtrott, Shimmy, Boston and - as No. 7 - a tango. From a piano to a string quartet movement, the arrangement presents itself as a delicate and smart, technically not too difficult sweet, suitable as a diversion or addition in a quartet program.

English Dances, Set I, opus 27, is a light classic composition that was written for orchestra by the British composer Malcolm Arnold in 1950. The set contains four dances that continue without pause: the individual movements are indicated by the tempo markings. The work came about at the request of Bernard de Nevers, at the time the head of publisher Alfred Lengnick & Co., who asked Arnold to write a suite of dances as an English counterpart to Dvo ák’s Slavonic Dances and Bartók’s Romanian Folk Dances. The première took place in the spring of 1951, played by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Sir Adrian Boult. Following the success of the first set, DeNevers asked the composer to write a second one, which Arnold completed the next year (Op. 33). The Andantino from the first set has been skilfully arranged and orchestrated for brass band by Ray Farr. English Dances, Set I, opus 27, is een licht klassieke compositie die in 1950 door de Britse componist Malcolm Arnold voor orkest geschreven werd. De set bestaat uit vier dansen die zonder onderbreking in elkaar overgaan: de afzonderlijke delen worden aangegeven met de tempomarkering. Het werk kwam tot stand op verzoek van Bernard de Nevers, destijds het hoofd van uitgeverij Alfred Lengnick & Co., die Arnold vroeg om een reeks dansen te schrijven als een Engelse tegenhanger voor de Slavische dansen van Dvo ák en de Roemeense volksdansen van Bartók. De première werd in het voorjaar van 1951 gebracht door het London Philharmonic Orchestra, onder leiding van Sir Adrian Boult.Na het succes van de eerste set vroeg De Nevers om een tweede, die Arnold een jaar later voltooide (opus 33). Het Andantino uit de eerste set is door Ray Farr meesterlijk gearrangeerd en ge nstrumenteerd voor brassband. English Dances, Set I, opus 27, ist eine leicht Klassische Komposition, die 1950 von dem britischen Komponisten Malcolm Arnold für Orchester geschrieben wurde.

Die Uraufführung fand im Frühjahr 1951 mit dem London Philharmonic Orchestra unter der Leitung von Sir Adrian Boult statt. Nach demErfolg der ersten Reihe bat de Nevers den Komponisten, eine zweite Reihe zu schreiben, die Arnold im darauffolgenden Jahr fertigstellte (op. 33).

Versailles, composed by Christian Bouthier, reflectsa number of impressions of the royal castle inVersailles, near Paris. There are four movementsconsisting of Le Chateau, Le grand Trianon,L’Appartement du Roi and Les Grandes Eaux eachof which depicts a different aspect of Versaillesboth inside and outside. Bring a touch of regalnessto any concert band programme. Versailles, gecomponeerd door Christian Bouthier, geeft een aantal indrukken weer van het koninklijke kasteel te Versailles, vlak bij Parijs. De vier afwisselende delen beschrijven achtereenvolgens Le ch teau (het kasteelzelf), Le grand Trianon (het extra complex dat Lodewijk XIV liet bouwen), L’Appartement du Roi (het appartement van de koning) en Les Grandes Eaux (de waterpartijen). De fraaie thema’s worden verklankt inboeiende, gemakkelijk te spelen muziek voor blaasorkest.Versailles, aus der Feder von Christian Bouthier, spiegelt eine Reihe von Impressionen des königlichen Schlosses in Versailles bei Paris wider. Die vier abwechslungsreichen Sätze beschreiben das Schloss selbst, den Nebenpalast Le Grand Trianon, die Gemächer des Königs und das weitläufige System an Wasserläufen und Teichen, welches die ganze Anlage einst versorgte. Prächtige Motive, verpackt in interessante, leicht spielbare Musik. Versailles de Christian Bouthier est une suite en quatre tableaux inspirés du célèbre Ch teau de Versailles près de Paris.1. Le Ch teau Dès 1623, Louis XIII, le père de Louis XIV (dit le Roi-Soleil), construit Versailles un premier ch teau majestueux. Plus tard, l’architecte Philibert Le Roy s’est vu confier la t che de l’agrandir. Et durant des siècles, divers autres architectes se consacrent l’agrandissement et l’embellissement de ce superbe palais pour en faire cet ensemble de façades et de b timents majestueux, célèbre dans le monde entier.2. Le grand Trianon Trianon est le nom d'un village acheté par Louis XIV dans le but de construire sur ces nouvelles terres unautre palais. Cherchant se défaire du protocole trop pesant de Versailles, le Roi est Trianon plus proche des siens. Trianon demeurera un lieu de détente, loin de l'étiquette et des fatigues du pouvoir. Les travaux du premier Trianon débutent en 1670. De nombreux b timents et péristyles seront rajoutés au fil des années.3. L'Appartement du Roi En 1683, Louis XIV quitte son Grand Appartement pour vivre dans son appartement intérieur qu'on appelle l'Appartement du Roi. Depuis 1701, la suite des pièces est la suivante : salle des Gardes, antichambre du Grand Couvert, antichambre de l'Œil-de-bœuf, chambre du Roi, cabinet du Conseil. L'apparat des plafonds peints qui caractérisait le décor du Grand Appartement, fait place un décor sobre où les plafonds sont laissés nus. Cet allégement correspond un nouveau go t du Roi-Soleil.4. Les Grandes EauxTrouver les ressources en eaux pour les fontaines de Versailles fut la préoccupation constante du Roi-Soleil. Même en pleine guerre, il s'en inquiétait. Ce sera l’extraordinaire Machine de Marly qui apportera les eaux de la Seine Versailles. L’arrivée des eaux au Ch teau aura nécessité la construction d’un réseau hydraulique de rigoles, de fossés et d'aqueducs s’étendant sur près de deux cent kilomètres. L'ensemble demeure unique notamment par son état de conservation.
