Eduard Franck's two string sextets, op. 41 in E-flat major, published in 1882/84, and op. 50, in D major, completed in December 1884 but published posthumously in 1894, fall mysteriously outside of their era. They are a significant addition to the rather concise repertoire for string sextet, joining the two works in this genre by Johannes Brahms. Eduard Franck was one of the very few private students of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, who was himself a close friend of the Franck family, so that Eduard was firmly rooted in the Mendelssohn tradition. But what is particularly exciting in the sextets, is how he consistently further developed Mendelssohn's immanent genre-defining tendencies, thus founding a conservative alternative to the Schumann-Brahms course.

Eduard Franck finished the fair copy of his second string sextet score in December 1884. The piece can thus be described as a typical late work, also evident from its wistful retrospective mood. The sextet's D-major first movement has a concise main theme moving to an expressive secondary theme whereas its final movement is a polyphonic masterpiece: This full, yet transparent movement integrates all the characteristics of the preceding movements in a rhythmically elastic, richly melodic broader context that in the end attains serenity and reconciliation.

Book 2 contains contains scores and parts to 10 more compositions by jazz master and leader of the World Saxophone Quartet, Julius Hemphill. Newly engraved edition. Edited by Marty Ehrlich.Julius Hemphill formed his Saxophone Sextet in 1989, composing new music for concert performances and his celebrated dance and theatre collaborations. The wide history of African-American music is heard in these pieces, all shaped by Hemphill's rich imagination and compositional acumen. The instrumentation is three altos with soprano doubles, two tenors, and baritone sax. The two volumes presented here mirror each other in the range of musical worlds Hemphill evoked as he explores the rich harmony and counterpoint possible with the six- saxophone choir.

Programme Note Zigzag - percussion sextet (1981)ZIGZAG (1981, earlier entitled just SEXTET) is the second of my three percussion sextets (the other being RONDO (1964) and SQUARE AND ROUND (TWO DANCES) (1986)). ZIGZAG derives its characteristic rhythmic impulse from the establishing of simple metres (for instance four-bar patterns) that are abruptly cut off before completion, only to start over again immediately. This creates a sort of cubistic rhythmic effect, present also in my ISTERNIA (1979) for marimba solo and SONORA (1981) for flute and harp.Several percussion ensembles have performed SQUARE AND ROUND together with ZIGZAG, the latter played attacca as a third movement. Ifind the result of this combination convincing and satisfactory and I recommend it in performance - with the titleSquare, Round and Zigzag - 3 pieces for percussion sextet (1981/86).However, SQUARE AND ROUND as well as ZIGZAG may still be played separately.Per Norgard.
