8 Twentieth-Century Pieces.

Béla Bartók composed his 44 Violin Duos in 1931, at the urging of the German violin pedagogue Erich Doflein. With two exceptions, all the pieces are based on original folk music themes, most of which the composer himself collected in the course of his numerous collecting trips to the Carpathian Basin and in Algeria. Although conceived as parts of a pedagogically motivated set, these little pieces …

Mozart's 'Missa in C major? (K. 220), nicknamed the 'Sparrow Mass? for its frequently recurring characteristic motifs in the violins, has retained a firm place in the choral repertoire to the present day. Now it has been arranged for female choir and is appearing as part of the recently started 'Bärenreiter Female Choir? series.Heribert Breuer has judiciously transferred the tenor and bass solos t…

Yesterday, titre incontournables des Beatles composé en 1965, est l'une des chansons les plus reprises de l'histoire de la musique pop. L'original comprend des parties pour quatuor à cordes qui sont parfaites comme accompagnement pour la voix et la guitare de Paul McCartney. C'est donc une étape logique d'arranger ce titre pour quatuor à cordes. La version de Nico Dezaire reproduit le son unique d…

Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt walten. Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt walten was composed by Georg Neumark in about 1641 and was subtitled ‘Trostlied’ literally meaning consolation song. Songbooks at the time showed the popularity of this song and it is still well-known today partly due to Johann Sebastian Bach’s use of the melody for one of his own chorals. In Jan de Haan’s arrangement the choral i…

Par WEISS SILVIUS LEOPOLD. Silvius Leopold Weiss (1687 1750) is known to guitarists as the greatest baroque composer for the lute, yet most are only familiar with the earlier portion of Weiss?s prolific output found in the British Library in London. Inspired by a forty-year friendship with the late Douglas Alton Smith - a major figure in the scholarly study of the history of the lute - guitarist, …

(Homage to Haydn). Par GOEHR ALEXANDER. My piece is subtitled ‘Homage to Haydn’. Why? Because it is modelled on Haydn’s Variations in F minor/major. But modelled does not imply pastiche or imitation. From Brahms onwards (if not before) there are countless examples of pieces modelled on others in a variety of ways. To do this does not imply a closeness to the original, rather inevitably a distance …

Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. 'New' Chamber Music for Guitar There has recently been an unprecedented demand for difficult works for guitar with various accompanying instruments. To make up for the unfortunately very limited repertoire, this arrangement of Mozart's ‚'duo for violin and viola' has been launched which replaces the viola by the guitar. It is striking that the guitar character of the v…
