Peter Maxwell Davies: Sonata For Clarinet And Piano

Peter Maxwell Davies: Sonata For Clarinet And Piano

This work, which was written shortly after the Trumpet Sonata and the Five Pieces For Piano, was first performed by Georgina Dobree and the composer at the 1957 Darmstadt Festival. The score was subsequently lost, but was rediscovered by Kevin Corner in 1983.'This is a dramatic, emphatic and at times extravagant piece. The first movement is a Moderato reaching through wide-flung clarinet lines and keen piano gestures to a great climax near the end. Then comes a quick movement, a kind of demonic scherzo, including a cadenza for the clarinettist. The finale is an Adagio that gradually achieves a sort of simplicity, though not before exceedingly testing times for both players.Duration c. 25mins.

Peter Maxwell Davies: Le Jongleur De Notre Dame

Peter Maxwell Davies: Le Jongleur De Notre Dame

This is the sacred comedy among Davies' pieces of music-theatre. Brought on by a children's wind band in a 7/8 march, the juggler presents himself at an abbey and is accepted by the abbot, the only singing character. The other monks are the clarinettist, percussionist and flautist, all of whom play 'duets' with the juggler as he is put to mundane tasks; sweeping, preparing food, washing clothes, all done with much horseplay. The same three monks then present their offerings to the Virgin in the form of flamboyant instrumental arias. Left alone, the juggler offers his own skills, to the accompaniments of Renaissance dances for piano with cello (who also provide support and commentary throughout). The other members of the community return and are appalled, but the image of the Virgin suddenly springs to life as a violinist, who plays her own solo acceptance. The abbot acknowledges her judgement, and the juggler is escorted boisterously out by the band.

Charles Hanon: The Virtuoso Pianist In Sixty Exercises (Book/Download Card)

Charles Hanon: The Virtuoso Pianist In Sixty Exercises (Book/Download Card)

With this newly-edited, complete edition of the essential book of practice exercises, The Virtuoso Pianist In Sixty Exercises is intended to help pianists acquire essential technical and practical skills. The music and text have been updated with a sleek, modern design and the Download Card features audio demonstrations of every exercise. When Charles Hanon first published these sixty exercises in 1873, he intended for the common problems of young pianists to be remedied by the practising of these pieces. Problems like crossing the thumb, the strength of the fourth and fifth fingers, and the difference in right and left hand skill were all common, and still are today. The book itself, however, became dated, making this new and revised edition necessary. Updated with a beautiful and modern new design, these practice pieces are a joy to play, and the included Download Card lets you hear them first, so that you can play them exactly as they should be played. The method involves scales, broken chords and other exercises, split into three sections, 'Preparatory', 'Transcendent' and 'Virtuoso'. Throughout, descriptions help the student to better prepare themselves, while recommended metronome ranges suggest tempos that the student can steadily increase. The Hanon   Exercises have been praised and criticised over the years, but with a sensible practice regime and their incorporation into a more musical and fun schedule, some fantastic results can be gained very quickly.  For over a century, these Hanon Exercises  have been testing amateur and professional pianists, helping them to work on common problems faced by all. With this updated version of the complete Virtuoso Pianist In Sixty Exercises , you can aim to acquire the agility, strength and suppleness that Hanon intended, but with a clean and modern looking design and the innovative, easy-to-use Download Card.

John Tavener: The Fool (Chorus Part)

John Tavener: The Fool (Chorus Part)

Composer's notes:The Fool is a time-honoured Orthodox religious figure: a Saint, the highest of all, who discards everything for Christ's sake. He discards all convention, all decency, all wealth, actual and spiritual, and turns himself into a figure of fun - defying all acceptable behaviour - and all religious decency. He stands in the square and lets down his trousers - he stuffs himself with food on Good Friday - he gets drunk - he "appears" to fornicate wildly. There is a faint possibility (in not the highest of 'Fools') of gaining worldly popularity by such flagrant denial of all moral behaviour. Can such behaviour be too interesting? The true fool, however, embraces all of this, and also (unseen) shrinks before the face of his God. By his behaviour he plucks out all hypocrisy, false piety, and corruption. He is a figure much needed in our times!!! The way I have tried to tackle this extraordinary subject is to show him in seven stages from an obscene, huge, fat traditional clown who is drunk, fornicating etc., through a stumbling, frail agonized figure, to a sallow-faced, gaunt business man in a formal suit, staring at an empty glass. Having first revered him, then mocked him, the "people", while they get drunk and jabber away at "Christmas", and at the Feast of Feasts 'Easter', are no longer aware of him. But the audience sees him - a tiny, ragged scrap of mortality lying in a corner and faintly, so faintly the voice of the Fool, the true Fool for Christ's sake sings above the ribald crowd. "He has given His life". The Gogmagogs are the 'people', 'priests', 'singers' etc. and one male singer who can "create" or "uncreate" this vast role (singing and acting, miming etc.) John Tavener Arranged for SSATBB chorus. Date of composition, 2000. Chorus part only.
