So Very Hard to Go

With Online Audio-Finally a great method which will show you how to play the acoustic jazz Guitar in the style of players like Django Reinhardt Oscar Alleman and Eddie Lang - their style is characterized by a powerful rhythm Guitar and a vitalswinging single-note solo line. Due to the fact that it can be very hard to master the original transcriptions this book simplifies this style without losing the essence of the original sound. Written in standard notation andTAB the material can be played by students and players that master the easy to intermediate level on plectrum style jazz Guitar. All titles are included on the audio download available online as well as some play along trackswhich offer a great possibility to improvise on typical gypsy chord changes and rhythms.

Together Apart/Apart Together for Saxophone Accordion and Double Bass was composed by Karsten Fundal in 2004. Written for and commissioned by Poing. Programme note: This piece is the 3rd in a row of pieces which concentrates on a rhythmical relationship that continues to puzzle me. It is actually two relationships embedded. The 1st is a pattern that is very inspired by the composer Per Nørgård who in the beginning of the 90ies got very preoccupied with the idea that you can have rhythms that never meet. This happens if you start a rhythm like a quintuplet on the beat and one like a triplet off beat. This can with different rhythms give very intricate interwoven patterns that gives the illusion that they are not cyclic. In my case I use the two ratio five to seven in the described way. This rythms have the strange property that if you take each 5th note of the seven and each 7 note of the five you get a ratio almost identical: 49:50. This is very intriguing as you can use the possibility of letting them be equal or the possibility of letting them interfere. In the first case you get an interlocking rhythm which is ?smooth?; an equal rhythmic pattern. In the second case you get a similar situation but where one of them is one short after 50 of the other ones which results in a disturbing almost equality but not quite. Therefore the title: because when I use the unequal rhythm I put the two layers in a similar tone register or a similar way of playing and when I use the equal one I put them a part tone wise speaking. This is a very technical description but it is very hard to put it in more wide terms but you might compare it with driving in a train and looking at two fence rows behind each other: if the poles are placed exactly halfway between each other you will experience an illusion of a fast jump if there is enough distance between them as a result of the perspective. If they are placed in a way that there are almost the same numbers of

Piano-Bent Sørensen THE SHADOWS OF SILENCE For piano Programme Note The Shadows of Silence (2003-2004)Quite some time ago I heard - through a conversation in a mobile phone - a wonderful concert of ringing church bells from an European capital. I found it very hard to concentrate about the conversation because I was so engrossed by the chaotic world of bell sound. The night after I dreamt that the sound of those low singing bells was rising up from a piano in a huge empty concert hall. That experience became the starting point for my piano piece 'The Shadows of Silence'. But before the piece gets to the ringing bells itmoves through a landscape of shadows - Shadows of the silence before the bells - Silence before the storm - Shadows of melodies which all the time leaves traces even in the short passages of storm. After the passage with the low ringing bells the shadows of silence returns melted in to a lament which are sending two regards. One to two small beautiful - not very well known - bars by Mozart and one to the sextet in my own opera 'Under the Sky'.'The Shadows of Silence' was commissioned by The Carnegie Hall Corporation and is dedicated to Leif Ove Andsnes

With Online Audio-As one can easily imagine it would be very hard for a Guitar student to start reading the scores of the traditional choro repertoire most of them with large number of technical difficulties. It would be much better if theycould start with some easier pieces - of intermediate level - in order to be presented to the choro language in a more gradual and appropriate manner.That is the main goal of this book. It has 13 studies (in the 13 morecommonly used keys for the choro Guitar) written in a reduced form and in the principal stylistic choro variants: besides real choros there are polkas maxixes Brazilian tangos and xotis. The more used and characteristicrhythmical figurations are present in each of the studies as the principal. Also aiming at the simplification of execution all studies were composed with only two voices (melody and bass) and with no chords (although harmoniesare quite evident due to the choro melodic particularities). An audio download available online contains all 13 studies.

Par CAMPO REGIS. Compositeur français, Régis Campo parvient à allier la subtilité de la musique spectrale avec un mouvement rythmique énergique et un grand sens de l'humour. Dans Dancefloor with Pulsing, l'orchestre symphonique terrestre est visité par un vaisseau spatial venu de Mars avec une piste de danse extraterrestre à bord. Les sons extraterrestres sont produits par le thérémine, un instrument inventé en 1919 par le physicien russe Léon Theremin et qui a récemment connu un regain de popularité sur la scène musicale électronique. Sa particularité est que celui qui en joue ne touche pas l'instrument. En bougeant ses mains dans l'espace, il influence un signal radio qui est ensuite traduit en son synthétique. La hauteur du son est commandée avec la main droite, tandis que la gauche détermine le volume sonore. Puisque cet instrument est joué 'en l'air', les hauteurs ne sont pas fixes ou prédéterminées, ce qui permet de 'glisser' d'une note à l'autre. L'énorme ambitus et la grande puissance expressive de l'instrument sont ses grands atouts et le distinguent des autres instruments électroniques anciens. Dans le registre aigu, le son ressemble à une voix de soprano, avec les mêmes possibilités en termes de vibrato et d'expressivité, mais Campo privilégie les sons bruts et 'rock'n'roll'. Le titre de l'oeuvre fait référence à la culture de la dance. Par ailleurs, la première indication de tempo, 'wacky, with exuberance' ('délirant, avec exubérance'), nous confirme immédiatement qu'il ne s'agit pas d'un concerto classique. Après la sonorité tourbillonnante du début, la pulsation rythmique est immédiatement enclenchée, bien que de façon très douce. La grosse caisse imprime le 'techno beat' tandis que d'autres instruments produisent des sons inhabituels. Le solo de thérémine entre d'emblée dans ce mouvement palpitant, avec, à nouveau, une intéressante indication dans la partition : 'very hard and dirty (techno music sound), like a big invader starship' ('très dur et sale (son de musique techno), comme un grand vaisseau envahisseur'). Les légers battements de coeur de la percussion sont parfois interrompus par une courte explosion sonore. Le rôle de l'orchestre devient progressivement plus important, et après un peu moins de deux minutes, le beat est ébranlé pour la première fois. Tout au long de l'oeuvre, Campo joue avec la stabilité et l'instabilité rythmique. Toutes les facettes du thérémine sont utilisées, du registre grave et grondant jusqu'aux sons éthérés les plus aigus. L'instrument est évidemment à des kilomètres de l'univers sonore de l'orchestre symphonique, mais le compositeur n'en réussit pas moins à créer des moments de convergence. Quand les violons en glissandos cherchent le dialogue avec le thérémine, une couleur sonore particulière naît qui ferait presque oublier que l'instrument soliste nous est inconnu. A la fin de l'oeuvre, le thérémine et l'orchestre quittent la Terre dans un grand glissando. Ils semblent franchir le mur du son pour disparaître à nouveau dans l'immensité de l'espace. / Contemporain / Répertoire / Thérémine et Orchestre

16 short and easy compositions with strong melodies. Par DEHNHARD TILMANN. Colours that mix, shades that change and rhythms that develop are just some of the aspects that make Dehnhard's compositions so special. The short, light miniatures are small, self-contained works of art with great melodic expressiveness, which are not only fun to work on in class, but also convincing on the concert stage. In gentle images that tell of our world's treasures, positive feelings, quiet experiences or silent moments, each piece traces moments that show themselves with each breath in a new light and change from all sides. Whether it is the spray of the waves, the sparkle of a gemstone or a dragon in the sky, there are always new nuances in color and sound, and thus infinite possibilities that are composed kaleidoscopically before our eyes. As if by itself, it carries on one piece by piece, creating moods and igniting images in front of the inner eye. In addition to their inspiring melodies, the miniatures focus on a characteristic rhythm whose timing, in combination with the jazzy harmonies, turns them into little pearls of modern flute literature. They almost exclusively use traditional playing techniques and rarely exhaust the range of the recorder in the high register. The enclosed CD of full, play-along recordings supports and completes the edition./ Répertoire / Flûte à Bec Soprano et Piano
