Rhythm patterns covered on this Cajon Method - LATINO DVD: Bolero, Cha Cha Cha, Songo, Afro, Guaguanco, Mrengu, Reggae, Samba and Reggaeton. Daniy Moreno proposes the cajon as an alternative and complement of the drum kit, not as a substitute but an alternative for performances in small venues where using the drums becomes a problem of room. One can also take advantage of the similar low-high soun…

This composition for younger and developing musicians allows them to play a dramatic piece that sounds like the soundtrack of an epic motion picture. The main theme is bold and adventuresome while the secondary theme is more reserved and playful. The rhythms and pitches are playable by most first year musicians. Both accessible and bold, this is a terrific choice for festival or concert performanc…

Par MC NEFF STEPHEN. My research for Banished began with a small group of students during a Trinity Laban co-lab period in 2013, though the idea goes back over 30 years when I first saw Steve Gooch’s Female Transport and stored the idea of adapting it as an opera until the right opportunity arose.

Medieval Mandolin Voume 2 by Allan Alexander. These medieval pieces sound great on the mandolin. They also lay right under the fingers. There is both notation and TAB and no page turns for any of the pieces in this book. The reason? This book is made for musicians, by musicians.

The theme in Festa Paesana is partly based on a Dutch anthem (Wien Neerlands bloed); when other lyrics are used it is also known as the Lunteren an…

Serenade. Par KREISLER FRITZ. Apart from the collection of Classical Manuscripts composed by the violin virtuoso Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) which he had passed off as transcriptions of settings of old masters, the violinist published original works early on as well. Kreisler himself liked to play them as encore pieces, thus sweetening many a concert with this 'musical confectionery'. Famous tunes …

Par TOMASI HENRI. Composed in 1949 by Henri Tomasi, Complainte Du Jeune Indien is a piece for Clarinet and Piano accompaniment. This piece voices the lament of a young Indian, expressing nostalgia. It is quite sad with an Andante tempo and the harmonic motion is quite slow. Two cadenzas feature in this work, with the possibility to cut them out to make rehearsals easier. The piece finishes sadly o…
