Thea Musgrave: Take Two Bassoons (Bassoon Duet)

Four short movements for two Bassoons.Composer's Note.Take Two Bassoons is planned as one of a series of light-hearted works for pairs of instruments, written with advice from performers who are also experienced teachers. Many of these pieces explore some specific opportunities and challenges inherent in the technique of each instrument.There are four short movements: Jaunty, Tenderly, Angry and Running Wild.Note from Marc Goldberg.Thea Musgrave asked to meet with me in New York to discuss a set of duets she was writing, and we got together over coffee near Carnegie Hall for an indepth discussion about the bassoon. I confess to having had momentary misgivings when asked to list things that were difficult to do on the instrument, envisioning for a moment an etude of unforgiving notes, difficult dynamics, uncomfortable articulations, clumsy cross-fingerings and the like, arranged back-to-back in an endurance test to challenge the best players on their best day.What she has in fact created is delightful ? a charming set of pieces full of character, wit, colour, and yes, challenge, perfectly suited for student and teacher alike, and wonderful recital works to boot.I couldn?t be more pleased to have had some part, however small, in their roots, and am looking forward to calling these pieces ? and Thea Musgrave - lifelong friends.

Rosemary Brown: Piano Album

Rosemary Brown (1916 - 2001) was a medium who sensationally claimed that dead composers were dictating new musical works to her. She created a small media sensation in the 1970s by claiming to produce works dictated to her by Franz Liszt, Johannes Brahms, Johann Sebastian Bach, Rachmaninov, Franz Schubert, Edvard Grieg, Claude Debussy, Chopin, Schumann and Ludwig Beethoven. The opinions of musical critics were varied on the merit of Rosemary's transcriptions but most agreed that in their style they bore a great resemblance to the composers' published works.Opinion is still divided about her claims and although there is scepticism, many musicians of note such as Richard Rodney Bennett, who said A lot of people can improvise, but you couldn't fake music like this without years of training. I couldn't have faked some of the Beethoven myself, have shown great interest.In 1969 she was put to a test by the British Broadcasting Corporation, who set her at a piano where she waited for the spirit of Liszt to contact her. In due course she produced a piece that she said had been dictated to her by the dead composer. It proved too hard for her to play, so another pianist was engaged to play it. The piece was subsequently studied by a Liszt expert, who said it had definite similarities to Liszt's work.

The survivors scatteredacross Ireland and, by the time our story begins, only two of the nobles of this ancient Fían werestill alive: Oisín and Caílte. Sixteen of the Fían warriors travelled with them across the wooded andflower-covered slopes of the Fews. Patrick was reciting his office. Then, his priests, seeing Caílte and his men approaching, wereseized with fear and horror at the sight of these warriors of an earlier age. Then Patrick, apostle tothe Irish, arose and sprinkled holy water on these great men, for a thousand legions of demons hadbeen above their heads. The great men then sat down.?Well, my friend, there is something I would ask you,? said Patrick to Caílte. ?Find us a well of purewater close by, so that we might baptize the peoples.? Caílte took Patrick by the hand and togetherthey went over the ramparts of the fortress. Just nine steps from the portal they saw a lovely crystalclearspring. Then Caílte recited these lines:A thoibur Trágha dhá bhanàlaind do bhilar barrhglan.ó ro tréigedh do chnuas ortnír? léiced fás dot fochlocht,Is uait dochuadar in Fianndar? marbad Coinchend coimfial,dar? cuiredh ár Feinde Find.isin mhadain ós Maolghlind.A(r) marbadh chon ocus ferar n-athchuma laoch láinghealco cuala glaodh Gharaidh ghlainadhaigh re taobh in topair.(?O spring of Tráig Dá Ban,lovely your bright cress sprigs;Since your pruning was neglected,your brooklime has multiplied.?From you the Fían set out,when generous Coinchenn was slain,When Finn?s Fían was slaughtered,in the morning above Maelglenn.?After the slaughter of dogs and men, after thewounding of shining warriors,Garad?s cry was heard at nightbeside the spring.)?You have lightened our spirits and our mind, even though our religious life is being disrupted andour prayers neglected,? said Patrick. Aibelán and Solusbrethach, his two guardian angels, thencame to Patrick and he asked them if it were the wish of the King of Heaven and Earth that helisten to these tales of the Fián.The angels answered him with one voice: 'Dear holy cleric, those old heroes tell you no more thana third of their stories, because their memories are faulty. Have these stories written down onscribes' tablets in the language of poets; the hearing of them will provide entertainment for thelords and commons of later times.'The angels then left them.Originating translation of the Acallam na Senórach by Ann Dooley and Harry Roe (Tales of theElders of Ireland, Oxford University Press, 1999); adapted for this musical sett

The Novello Shakespeare Choral Collection

Music played an enormous role in the works of William Shakespeare, while his own sonnets, poems and soliloquies have provided continuing inspiration for many composers through the years. The Novello Shakespeare Choral Collection , inspired by the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death in 2016, is an exciting anthology of choral works that are settings of Shakespeare's words. For choirs of all types and abilities, this collection has been edited by David Wordsworth so that all the pieces are fantastic both to sing and hear. The collection features some beautiful settings that have well and truly stood the test of time, such as Thomas Arne's Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind and Henry Leslie's How Sweet The Moonlight Sleeps . More recent settings from 20th century and contemporary composers include Ernest Moeran's Sigh No More, Ladies , Gary Carpenter's Lo, Here, The Gentle Lark and John Tavener's Fear No More and Look In Thy Glass . Not only this, the Shakespeare Choral Collection boasts several works that were specially commissioned, including John Joubert's Be Not Afeard , Richard Sisson's Light Thickens and Pawel Lukaszewki's Weary With Toil, I Haste Me To My Bed . Some pieces have never appeared before in print, such as those by Kevin Olson, Bernard Hughes and John Gardner. These songs truly are a joy to perform, with some relatively simple arrangements that are purely fun to sing, while some more complex settings that will be thoroughly rewarding for choirs and audiences alike. A total of 26 fantastic works comprise The Novello Shakespeare Choral Collection , which would work as a wonderful concert programme on its own, or could provide a wealth of options for choirs looking to expand their repertoire with a range of unique settings. Also included is a fascinating introduction by editor David Wordsworth, and notes describing each piece. Words written by indisputably the greatest writer in the English language can only be matched with music by composers of talent and renown such as these. The Novello Shakespeare Choral Collection is an essential anthology of stunning settings of beautiful words which will be performed and enjoyed for many years to come. The December 2015 edition of Berliner Chorspiegel featured a review of this title which stated "[t]his collection is excellent" and that "it is always amazing how the magic of the lyrics is reflected in sound."
