EPTA's The Mindful Pianist presents amateurs and professionals with a fresh perspective on playing and performing. Applying the concept of mindfulness to the piano, this invaluable text explores the crucial connection between mind and body: how an alert, focussed mind fosters playing that is more compelling, more refined and ultimately more rewarding. It tackles the issues encountered by pianists when practising, performing, improvising and preparing for an exam: how to choose repertoire and memorise it; how to set about making an initial survey of a new piece; and how to take a more level-headed view of our aspirations. Drawing on the expert advice of 25 leading pianists and educationalists, this unique book offers a wealth of exercises and musical examples to help every player succeed in becoming a mindful pianist.

ISBN 9781491154144. UPC: 680160912643. 6.875 x 10.5 inches. Key: Ab major. English. Henry F. Lyte (1793-1847).
Henry Francis Lyte, 19th century Scottish minister and poet, wrote this hymn text during the last year of his life. The opening line of the hymn is misquoted from Luke 24:29, when the disciples meet the resurrected Jesus, but do not recognize him. They ask him to Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. The change to the singular pronoun gives the hymn its comforting, personal and emotional intimacy. Though Lyte wrote his own tune for the poem, the tune most associated with the text is Eventide by William Henry Monk. Monk, a composer, arranger, and editor wrote this tune for the hymns inclusion in Hymns Ancient and Modern, published in 1861. Be intentional to sing a tall, pure /a/ sound on the word abide. Also be mindful that the original Abide with me hymn melody should be primary with the prayerful Pater Noster providing its support. Overall, bear in mind the prayerful mood of the selection and mold the color of the tone accordingly.

American Visions is a fast-paced and energetic composition featuring rousing brass fanfares, lively woodwind motives, and driving percussion. It was initially inspired to embody the sense of American vigor and patriotism. Musically, the main motive at mm. 4-12 runs throughout the piece and vacillates between duple and triplet rhythms. Players should be mindful to differentiate between the two rhythms, so there is clarity. Measure 39 represents a contrasting section, and should be thought of as dark and warm sounding as possible. I intended that the section would resemble the overall timbre of orchestral strings, and players could think of that when performing the piece. Measure 55 presents a triplet rhythmic motive that must be precise in timing and dynamics. At m. 66, be sure that the main melodic motive and the tenor saxophone, low brass, and chimes countermelody can be heard through the ensemble's texture. Measure 73 uses bell tone articulations that build to standard articulations at m. 76. Thank you for playing my composition.American Visions is a fast-paced and energetic composition featuring rousing brass fanfares, lively woodwind motives, and driving percussion.

Just as a conductor’s preparatory “upbeat” gesture at the beginning of a performance influences the way an ensemble plays, we too get to choose our “upbeat”—our thoughts and attitudes—at the start of each day, at the beginning of each class, and in our interactions with students and colleagues. With this clever premise at its core, Upbeat! presents a winning combination of mindset and mindfulness strategies as well as leadership principles that will motivate, inspire, and transform not only your internal world but the culture of your music program. Divided into three parts—Ignite, Inspire, and Lead—Upbeat! takes readers on a journey from internal self-reflection to outward expressions of leadership, with chapters addressing such topics as: Self-care for optimal mental, emotional, and physical wellness The transformative power of positivity and gratitude Growth mindset Mindful breathing and listening in an ensemble setting Fostering a culture of excellence and connection Creating vision and mission statements for your organization The essential qualities of an effective leader How to develop a thriving student leadership program As the conductors and composers of our own lives, we can choose to live an “upbeat” life from a posture of gratitude, positivity, and enthusiasm. As a result, we experience greater fulfillment and achieve personal and professional goals. Students also benefit from the clarity of our example as they embark on their own leadership journeys. With immediately applicable ideas and strategies that work for students, teachers, and professionals in any field, Upbeat! affirms the importance of living and working with intentionality and establishes that what we do, why we do it, and how we do it matters. Dr. Matthew Arau, founder of Upbeat Global and Upbeat! Leadership Workshops, Coaching, and Keynotes, is an Associate Professor of Music and the Chair of the Music Education Department and the Symphonic Band Conductor at the Lawrence University Conservatory of Music in Appleton, Wisconsin.

Both as composer and conductor, Ronald Corp is steeped in the English choral tradition, and in A Spotless Rose he has traversed by his own path the hallowed ground of words immortalised by Herbert Howells. Corp's own music, chordal yet contrapuntal, and likewise redolent in its modality of a distant past 'of ancient seers' foreshowing', flows smoothly in flexible rhythm, each voice a shapely strophic melody. Mindful of the famous close of Howells's setting, Corp concludes with an exquisite ending all of his own. A Spotless Rose was written for the Highgate Choral Society, who gave the world premiere on 2 December 2017 at St Michael's Church, Highgate.

Johann Hermann Schein's Israelsbrunnlein, published in Leipzig in 1623, is a supreme achievement not only among the works of this composer, who had been Thomaskantor in Leipzig since 1616, but also for the entire body of German music written during the first half of the 17th century. Among the 26 motets written in the Italian madrigal manner 23 are settings of Old Testament texts, a fact to which the collection owes its title. The source for the text of this collection is the inexhaustible fountain of the Psalms, the books of Moses, the Prophets, the Songs of Solomon, and other books of the Old Testament.
