Par FORBES JOANNA / L'ESTRANGE A.. An Irish Blessing is a choral setting for upper voices and piano or organ of the traditional Gaelic prayer which begins 'May the road rise to meet you'. Its gentle melody unfolds slowly, beginning in unison and building to a fuller choral texture with a descant in the third verse. The optional flute part adds a folk-like quality and, in addition to the wide dynam…

Edward Gregson completed Tributes in the summer of 2010. Lasting some 16 minutes, there are five pieces in the set, each dedicated to a different composer and a different clarinettist (with whom Gregson had long musical associations). Each of the dedicatee composers wrote wonderfully for the Clarinet and, as a tribute to them, Gregson tried to invade, indeed imitate, their stylistic worlds in thes…

Par BARTOK BELA. Béla Bartók’s “For Children” is one of the best known pedagogical works for piano teachers of the twentieth century, second only perhaps to the same composer’s “Mikrokosmos”. It was based firmly on the huge number of folk songs he collected, recorded and studied with his colleague Zoltán Kodály. At the time, Bartók was offering something very new to piano teachers and their studen…

Par BARTOK BELA. Bartók?s Second String Quartet was composed ? with several long interruptions ? between 1915 and 1918, after he had spent several years almost solely devoted to collecting folk music. The melody and rhythms of the riotous middle movement ?Allegro, molto capriccioso? provide impressive testimony of how his research trips had taken him as far as North Africa. The first edition of th…

Par FARKAS FERENC. “I wrote this Christmas cantata from Köröshegy at the request of the Council of the Komitat Somogy. When I visited the still unrenovated little church at Köröshegy about ten years ago I had no idea that this beautiful Gothic building would one day be the scene of the world première of one of my works. - The cantata is founded on four pillars: four organ soli which could be descr…

Adapted from Jay's popular American Folk Songs for Solo Singers, this remarkable new choral arrangement works beautifully. The languid minor-key melody is passed from soloist to choir and part to part, often accompanied by mournful background vocals. Not difficult to perform, but appropriately weighty. / Choeur Mixte (SATB)

Par DEL BORGO ELLIOT. Interesting counterpoint brings the minor key 'Ballad of John Riley' to your band with style. Allowing for some good melodic playing from the tenor instruments (Trombone, F Horn, Tenor Saxophone) and later including the Bass Instruments in the melody, each section is important in this treatment of the somber folk tune. Great vehicle for studying phrasing and controlled perfor…
