Par BULLA STEPHEN. Contrasting colors and stylistic shifts trace the historic events surrounding “the shot heard ‘round the world” in this challenging and significant new concert band work by Stephen Bulla.

Par BARTOK BELA. Béla Bartók?s six string quartets, composed between 1908 and 1940, are 20th-century milestones of the genre. His First String Quartet is closely linked to his unhappy love for the violinist Stefi Geyer, to whom he sent the initial measures of its first movement in early 1908 with the remark: ?My song of death?.

Trans…

Towards the Night for flute and guitar. Par WESSMAN HARRI. Harri Wessman's Pan and the Nymph Pitys (1979) for flute and guitar bears the first symptoms of his later style, the texture being softly dissonant. In an old mythological dictionary the composer found that Pan had had some love affair with an other nymph than famous Syrinx as well, with Pitys (greek pine-tree). So the listener may think o…
