Als Fritz Wunderlich 1930 im nordpfalzischen Kusel geboren wurde, konnte niemand ahnen, dass einer der grossten Sanger des 20. Jahrhunderts das Licht der Welt erblickt hatte. Seine ungewohnliche musikalische Begabung, die schon fruh von seinen Eltern gefordert wurde, liess kaum einen Zweifel an seiner spateren Berufung aufkommen. Nach dem Gesangsstudium eroberte er innerhalb weniger Jahre die Opernhauser und Konzertsale Europas und wurde der bedeutendste deutschsprachige lyrische Tenor seiner Zeit. Zum 80. Geburtstag dieses viel zu fruh verstorbenen Sangers wird die erfolgreiche Biografie von Werner Pfister in Uberarbeitung neu als Taschenbuch aufgelegt. Es ist dank der objektiven, engagierten und kritischen Schilderungen noch immer das massgebende Werk zu Wunderlichs Leben.

If you see a house under construction, it's on its way to becoming a complete home for people to live in. With Scales under Construction, it's much the same: step by step, you'll build up a framework while learning to play more and more scales, until you master all the major scales and feel comfortable with them.Scales under Construction deals with all major scales up to those with three sharps or flats in their key signatures - first in the form of an exercise and then in a short fun piece made up of scale fragments. Gradually you'll learn to play all the major scales. Practising scales is important as they help single out different aspects of making music, such asdeveloping your technique and your sense of tonality, and playing by heart.

Als je onderweg 'Werk in uitvoering' tegenkomt, betekent dat meestal niet veel goeds. De borden waarschuwen je al van verre dat je in de file komt te staan, waardoor je humeur er meestal niet beter op wordt. Gelukkig is het met Toonladdersin uitvoering iets anders gesteld. In Toonladders in uitvoering worden de majeurtoonladders tot en met drie vaste voortekens behandeld. Eerst in de vorm van een oefening en daarna met een leuk speelstuk, waarintoonladdermotiefjes steevast verwerkt zitten. Gaandeweg zul je op een speelse manier alle belangrijke toonladders leren spelen. Het spelen van toonladders is in de muziek een oefenvorm die van groot belang is en die verschillendekanten van het muziek maken uitlicht. Het ontwikkelen van je techniek, je gevoel voor tonaliteit en het uit je hoofd spelen zijn hiervan een paar goede voorbeelden.

Tonleitern uben und spielen muss nicht langweilig sein! In diesem Buch werden Dur-Tonleitern bis einschliesslich drei Vorzeichen zunachst in Form einer Ubung gelernt und vorgestellt. Dann wird jede Tonleiter mit einem kurzen, lustigen Stuck, das sich aus Tonleiterabschnitten zusammensetzt, geubt. Auf diese Weise wird ein solides Gerust aufgebaut, bis der Spieler alle Dur-Tonleitern beherrscht. Auf der mitgelieferten CD sind sowohl die Ubungen als auch die Stucke zu allen Tonleitern enthalten. So werden mit Scales under Construction zugleich Spieltechnik, Gehor und Auswendig spielen geschult und verbessert.

Lorsqu'une maison est en construction, elle est en voie de devenir un lieu dans lequel des gens vont vivre. Dans Gammes en Construction, le principe est assez similaire : etape par etape, vous allez batir une structure en apprenant a jouer de plus en plus de gammes, jusqu'a ce que vous maitrisiez toutes les gammes majeures et qu'elles constituent pour vous un cadre familier.Gammes en Construction aborde toutes les gammes majeures jusqu'a celles dont l'armature comporte trois dieses ou trois bemols - d'abord sous la forme d'un exercice et ensuite dans un morceau court et amusant constitue de groupes de notes d'une gamme. Progressivement, vous apprendrez a jouertoutes les gammes majeures. Il est important de travailler les gammes car elles permettent de se concentrer sur differents aspects de la pratique musicale en vous aidant notamment a developper votre technique instrumentale, a vous familiariser avec la tonalite et a jouer par c?ur.

E' importante praticare le scale, perche aiutano a sviluppare la tecnica e il senso della tonalita. In Scales Under Construction vengono proposte tutte le scale maggiori fino a tre diesis e tre bemolli: in primo luogo sotto forma di un esercizio e poi come un breve pezzo con gruppi di note dalla scala.

Under the Sun's Gaze as a title for a musical composition conjures up many possibilities. It is, in fact, an imagined line from an unwritten poem, invented with the idea of capturing something of the visual aura the sounds and energy of this work invoke in its composer' mind. An omnipotent presence in all of nature, a source of life yet also capable of its destruction, the sun affects the light and dark in our physical existence as it defines the daily and seasonal life. The music of this work, in three interlocking parts, takes turns being exuberant, caressing, scorching, receding, hazy, lazy, blazing, dissolving into darkness, blinding in its intensity. Subtitled Concerto da Camera III, this work is written for what has become known as the standard Pierrot instrumentation of flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano plus percussion. The difference here is that the winds are doubled - the two flutists alternating with piccolo and alto flute and both clarinetists also doubling on bass clarinets. The ninth member of the ensemble, a soprano saxophone, appears well into the piece, its lyrical, plaintively expressive quality dominating the musical terrain for a while. While occasionally joining the others for some tutti outbursts, it maintains its position as something of a guest throughout. Of the various thematic ideas that populate this work, a six-note descending line played by the clarinet appearing right at the work's opening then arching back up reveals itself, as the music unfolds, to be the principal melodic building block of Under the Sun's Gaze. Its various transformations include the plaintive soprano saxophone melody appearing in the middle section. Just under 20 minutes in length, the work in its totality can be heard as being in a loose arch form, its ending receding into a distant darkening horizon which carries in it the seed of the new dawn that lies beyond. Under the Sun's Gaze was commissioned by the Serge Koussevitzky Music Foundation in the Library of Congress for the San Francisco Contemporary Players, David Milnes, conductor.

Composer John Frith has written a new solo virtuosic work for Bass Trombone with Piano accompaniment of about 3 minutes in length. Read below to see what his thoughts are about his composition for Jonathan Warburton.
I have written a number of pieces (over many years) for Jonathan Warburton who also commissioned ‘Sons of Thunder' in 2015. Jon's gift for musical ‘acrobatics' gave me the idea of creating a short, high-energy work that would give vent to his exceptional range and flexibility. The central section is muted and relatively calm but it is not long before the music builds and the opening material returns. A solo cadenza creates a welcome calm interlude before the storm gathers once again as the piece builds to a momentous fortissimo before grinding to a thunderous halt!
‘Sons of Thunder' is the nickname given by Jesus to the apostles James and John, possibly reflecting their lively characters……I'm guessing that theirs were not too unlike Jonathan's ebullient personality!.
