Transcribed in Tablature for the Modern Banjoist. Par YOUNG KYLE GRAY. This book is considered the first in-depth method book ever published for learning to play the 5-string banjo. First appearing in 1858, Phil Rice’s 1858 Method for the Banjo was written in standard notation in the tuning (eAEG#B). Kyle Gray Young has meticulously transcribed 64 solos from the original keys and notation to clear…

Many students only need a few opera arias in their vocal study. Selected Opera Arias extracts 10 arias useful to the typical voice student from the G. Schirmer Opera Anthology, with plot notes, translations and IPA, and combines them with the diction lessons recorded by top coaches in New York, and accompaniments recorded by coaches on staff at Lyric Opera of Chicago. The voice student gets a valu…

The Bluesier Side of Jazz by Andrew D. Gordon was inspired by the Piano students he teaches at Shepherd University School of Music in Los Angeles and is dedicated to those students: Jungwon, Yumiko, Yoko, Eunice, Sooji, Hae Ji and Ok Kyu. As with many students that come from a classical background (including himself) it is a difficult transition to learn to play Blues & Jazz. When a musician impro…

Like Dvorák's third and fourth quartets (in D major and E minor respectively), String Quartet #2 in B-flat major was probably composed between 1868 and 1870, when the young and still inexperienced composer was openly responding to stimuli from his musical surroundings and excitedly adopting new compositional techniques. All three quartets were long considered lost - it was even said that Dvorák de…

Dear saxophonists, I cannot encourage you enough to listen to and attend the operas that these paraphrases were taken from. To that end, I have indicated the title and the placement of each aria enabling you to locate them easily when listening to the work. In music, not everything is defined by notes and rhythm, the essentials may lie elsewhere. This is even truer of opera. Fabien Chouraki/ Rec…

Score Parties. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. When Beethoven wrote these three quartets he was 15 years old and a composition student of Christian Gottlob Neefe in Bonn. They reveal a strong Mozartian influence while the brilliant piano writing already gives a sense of the mature Beethoven. He may conceivably have written the works for the wealthy Mastiaux family in Bonn, as he gave piano lessons to …

Par MAROCCO FRANK. Arrangements came from many accordion players who are fans of my music. I have always written music for myself, mostly jazz arrangements for different groups that I played with through the years, but until I took on a few students in recent years, I realized there was not much interesting music for them to play. They heard some of my recordings, the solo one’s especially and ask…

Par TCHAIKOVSKY PYOTR ILYICH. The four pieces chosen here (The New Doll, Folk Song, Old French Song and Italian Song) are suitable to be arranged for a trio of instruments. These pieces are secular and a suitable contrast to the aequale and other 19th century trombone genres. The arrangements are relatively short and pitched so as not to over-tax the players lips. They also share around the themat…

Weihnachtsliedersammlung für Bläser. Gott Zur Ehre is a collection of hymns and chorales compiled by Jan de Haan.

Volume 2 contains many famous German and international Christmas carols. Although not all pieces may be recognised instantly, they will fit perfectly i…

Arr. Masato Myokoin. Here is your chance for some audience participation within your concert programme. The big Summer ‘hit’ of 1995 was the Bayside Boys with their version of a modern Spanish song. Can you remember the moves? If so, why not demonstrate them and invite your audience to join in with this scintillating arrangement. Guaranteed to bring the house down! / Niveau : 4 / Musique légère …
