EVC Publications: SeasonsBy Andrew HigginsThis delightful set of miniatures was conceived as performance repertoire for the ambitious student. Each piece is short and succinct, often focused on a single aspect of technique, style, and character. The mood of each musical idea reflects the changing seasons so the student is always responding to a narrative to help inform performance. The design encompasses a complete year’s study so the student can focus on extending their repertoire over the course of twelve months or four seasons. At the end of the year a successful student can deliver a single rewarding concert performance of over twenty minutes, or teachers can share pieces between several performers at different levels and perform the cycle as a set.

Masterworks

Griffes: Roman Sketches, Op. 7By Charles Griffes / ed. Albert MendozaRoman Sketches, Op. 7, is one of 20th-century composer Charles Griffes’s most popular works. This piano suite of four short pieces, written between 1915 and 1916, illustrates Griffes’s evolving tastes in incorporating modern devices into his compositions. Filled with many memorable, evocative, and pianistically satisfying moments, the pieces require power, agility, and finesse, as well as musical sensitivity. The suite begins with “The White Peacock,” a sensuous depiction of the exotic white bird. The second work, “Nightfall,” captures the stillness of dusk, before gaining excitement and swirling to two powerful climaxes. The third piece, “The Fountain of the Acqua Paola,” in the tradition of Liszt’s “Fountains of the Villa d’Este” and Ravel’s “Jeux d’eau,” brings to life the sound and shimmer of a famous Roman fountain. The last sketch, “Clouds,” not only depicts gently wafting clouds but also gusts of wind and bright rays of sunshine.

Soler: Sonata in D MajorBy Padre Antonio Soler / ed. Olga Llano Kuehl-WhitePadre Antonio Soler (1729-1783) was a Spanish Catholic monk whose compositions span the late-Baroque and early-Classical periods. A student of Domenico Scarlatti, he wrote over 150 keyboard sonatas. The “Sonata in D Major” is in an improvisatory style typical of Spanish dance. The sonata features dance-like 16th-note rhythms, repeated notes characteristic of virtuoso guitar technique, and unique harmonies and modulations. This edition contains performance suggestions handed down to the editor from renowned pianist and Spanish-music interpreter Alicia de Larrocha.

This edition aids in interpretation through added fingerings, editorial pedal, and indications for subtle changes in tempo, which are integral to the performance of Spanish music. Dr. Kuehl-White studied in Barcelona with legendary Spanish pianist Alicia de Larrocha, who provided a tremendous legacy regarding the performance-practice traditions of Granados’s music.

A Royal Birthday CelebrationSuite in Baroque Style

A Royal Birthday CelebrationBy Chee-Hwa TanA Royal Birthday Celebration introduces the flavours of Baroque dances, with a contemporary twist for the 21st century, to the taste buds of advancing pianists. These dances contain many technical and musical elements common to the standard Baroque dances of Bach, Handel, and Telemann. Frequently, dances in a suite were part of a larger work, like an opera or ballet, or had a program attached. I have chosen the setting of a Royal Court with a birthday celebration as an overall theme. Musical quotes from the song, “Happy Birthday,” are camouflaged in several of the movements using quotes or variations from the melody, rhythm, or harmonies.

Sound Innovations for String Orchestra: Creative Warm-UpsBy Bob Phillips, Kirk Moss, Matt Turner & S. BenhamSound Innovations: Creative Warm-ups emphasises four aspects of string performance essential to the refinement of musicianship and skill at the intermediate level. Consistent with the Sound Innovations structure, students explore, develop, and refine (1) Sound Intonation; (2) Sound Rhythms; (3) Sound Bowing Fluency and Choreography; and (4) Sound Creativity. The levels can be used in the order that is best for your students’ development, whether that means as individual warm-ups or as structured units. This material complements the content of Sound Innovations: Sound Development for Intermediate String Orchestra.

Aus dem deutschenVerlagsprogrammAnika Nilles Pad BookWer viel auf Reisen unterwegs ist oder Nachbarn mit sensiblen Ohren hat, der wird sich bereits ein ÜBUNGS PAD zugelegt haben. Aber ohne Drumset zu üben, ist speziell! Denn wer seine Hände nicht nur beweglich halten, sondern am Pad auch EFFEKTIV üben möchte, für den ist ANIKA NILLES‘ PAD BOOK genau das Richtige!In ihrem für sich selbst entwickelten ÜBUNGSSYSTEM präsentiert Anika eine Vielzahl von Optionen, WAS und WIE man am besten am Pad üben kann. Besonders gut geeignet ist das Pad, weil es im Wesentlichen auf nur EINE KLANGQUELLE reduziert ist. So ist der Fokus stets auf die grundlegenden Elemente wie Stickings und Rudiments, Phrasierungen und Rhythmuskonzepte gerichtet.In ihren FUNDAMENTAL-WORKOUTS widmet sich Anika auf insgesamt 280 Seiten den Themen Akzente, Phrasierungen und Stickings in geraden und ungeraden Notenwerten, Mixed Meters, Unabhängigkeit der Hände und Polyrhythmen. Es ergibt sich ein vollständiges System mit Triolen, 16teln, Quintolen, Sextolen und Septolen, die in einzelnen Arbeitsschritten – von sehr einfachen bis hin zu komplexen Rhythmen – aufgeschlüsselt sind. Der Auf- und Ausbau von Grundlagen, die Sensibilisierung für Time und Rhythmus sowie die zahlreichen Möglichkeiten der Erweiterung eigener Fertigkeiten stehen im Mittelpunkt. Zusammenstellungen von WARM-UPS geben dir eine Idee davon, wie du deine eigenen Übungen und Rhythmuspatterns entwickeln kannst. Der tiefere Sinn dahinter ist, den Übungsprozess KREATIVER zu gestalten, effektiv an den eigenen Stärken und Schwächen zu arbeiten, neue Themen für sich selbst zu entwickeln und bereits Vertrautes einfach aus einer anderen Perspektive zu betrachten.Das Spielen auf einem Pad ersetzt dabei weder die musikalische Arbeit noch das Üben an einem echten Schlagzeug, aber es ist eine großartige Möglichkeit, die eigenen Fähigkeiten zu erweitern und tiefer in den wichtigsten Bereich, die Grundlagen, einzutauchen. Sie bilden die eigentlich stabile Basis.Zurück am DRUMKIT wirst du feststellen, dass du dich auf spezifischere, musikalisch relevante Themen wie Sound, Orchestrierung und Dynamik konzentrieren kannst, da Hände, Körper und Geist die auf dem Pad geübten Grundlagen bereits verinnerlicht und automatisiert haben. Eben FUNDAMENTAL!

Band 2 dient der Vertiefung der spielerischen Fähigkeiten und des theoretischen Wissens über Musik. Über klassische Themen, Volkslieder und Spirituals, Blues, Popmusik oder Ragtime werden Intervalle und Akkorde tiefergehend behandelt. Band 3 vertieft die bis hier hin erarbeiteten musikalischen Spielfähigkeiten und Kenntnisse des erwachsenen Schülers auf abwechslungsreiche Weise. Am Ende dieses 3. Bandes soll der Schüler sowohl das Spielen in fortgeschrittenen Tonarten beherrschen als auch den Einstieg in die großen Werke der Klavierliteratur vollziehen können.

Kino HitsVahid MatejkoFilmmusik hat ihren besonderen Reiz. Ihre eigentliche Aufgabe, die Stimmungen und Emotionen der bewegten Bilder zu verstärken, hat sich in vielen Fällen verselbstständigt. Vielen Filmmusik-Komponisten ist es gelungen, eigenständige Kino Hits zu erschaffen, die auch unabhängig von den jeweiligen Filmszenen, für die sie geschaffen wurden, fungieren. Mit diesen Ausgaben haben wir eine attraktive Auswahl solcher „Kino Hits“ getroffen, die alle auch für sich große Erfolge waren. Die vorliegenden Play-alongs der „Kino Hits“-Reihe geben Nachwuchs-Musikerinnen und -Musikern die Möglichkeit, mit echten Musikern zusammenzuspielen und nicht mit programmierten Sounds aus der Konserve. Die meisten Play-alongs wurden „live“ von einer Jazz- und Rock-Combo eingespielt, einige andere von einem Orchester. Als Solisten konnten wir einige der gegenwärtig hochkarätigsten, deutschen Musiker für diese Produktion gewinnen, die die beiliegende CD zu einem Spiel- und Hörgenuss machen.

Seine Musik lacht und weint, klagt und tanzt. Und mal hat man öfter das Gefühl erst an einem Ort auf der Welt zu sein, dann wieder an einem anderen und manchmal da glaubt man alle Orte der Welt in einer seiner Melodien vereint zu haben.” Prof. Igor Epstein, Leiter der Weltmusik- und Klezmer- Akademie in Köln.

Drum Lessons with George Lawrence StoneBy Barry James with Joe MorelloBased on the author’s recollections of their studies and conversations with George Lawrence Stone, this companion book to Stick Control contains a series of lessons and lectures on the art and technique of drumming as originally developed and taught by George Lawrence Stone.

Anika Nilles Pad BookIf you don’t have access to your drums regularly, travel a lot, or have neighbours with sensitive ears, you will already have a Practice Pad. But practising without a drum kit is special, and Anika Nilles’ Pad Book is the perfect way to keep your hands agile and dive deeper into effective methods that really improve your pad technique! Anika gives plenty of options what, and how to practice on a pad. Practice pads are particularly well suited because they reduce drumming to one basic sound source. This way you follow a process of continuous progression in terms of stickings and rudiments, phrasings and rhythm concepts.The fundamental workouts are organised in four chapters: Subdivision Studies, Mixed Meters, Hand Independence, and Polyrhythms. The result is a complete system with triplets, 16th notes, quintuplets, sextuplets and septuplets, which are broken down into individual steps starting with a very basic layout before moving to more complex rhythms. The focus is on building up and consolidating fundamentals across all note values, raising awareness on a feel for time and rhythm, and presentation of many possibilities on how you can expand acquired skills.Anika also puts together a collection of warm-ups which suggest how to create your own rhythm patterns out of the technical features in this book.The deeper meaning underpinning Anika’s ideas is always how to be more creative. It is about working on your weaknesses, developing new ideas and rhythms for yourself, or simply looking at familiar things from a different perspective.Back on the drum kit you will find that you can focus on more specific, musically relevant topics such as sound, orchestration, and dynamics, since the hands, body, and mind have already internalized the basics practiced on the pad. Just fundamental!

Jost Nickel's Snare BookBy Jost NickelThe title Snare Book tells its own tale: Jost Nickel’s book is exclusively about snare exercises that will improve your hand technique and your general understanding of rhythm at the same time. Additionally, playing these exercises using different subdivisions and time signatures will further strengthen your rhythmic understanding and will make the exercises more interesting and less repetitive. “My Snare Book is definitely not your typical rudiments book,” says Jost. “I am confident that the exercises in this book are enjoyable and useful because they offer variations on different levels that will keep you engaged. That makes it easier to play the many repetitions you need to get better.”

Choral and Vocal Sight-SingingBy Nancy LittenThis book serves a dual purpose. It aims to give choirs and solo singers gently graded sight singing practice whilst at the same time encouraging the pianist to accompany them from chord symbols. Many examples of the possible realisations of the chords are given and the number of different keys and chords increases gradually. One chord per bar is used at first with more rapid changes in the later chapters. Each stage includes exercises for the singers, (to be practised, not just sight-read) and songs to be accompanied. Pianist edition includes chord examples and practice routines, and at the back, a chord compendium.

Harmonic Warm-UpsBy Tijs KrammerDoes this sound familiar? “I’m bored with the warm-ups. We always sing the same exercises.” Yes, many singers regard warm-ups as a monotonous requirement, a trivial exercise, or an unnecessary delay before the actual rehearsal starts. But it doesn’t have to be this way! Reinvent your routine with this innovative approach that leads the way to more meaningful and diversified warm-ups. This book is filled with uncomplicated melodies that are quickly learned, and then turned into multiple-part exercises by singing in canon or stacked parallels. An exemplary practice that invites developed groups to focus on higher listening and ensemble skills. Online access to MP3 demos of every exercise is included.

It was night time. Everything was still and quiet and the dark was as black as black* with just a little twinkling light from a star outside.*

Jack woke up as he heard floorboards downstairs creak.* “There’s a robber in the house,” he thought to himself.

He crept out of bed, pulling onhis dressing gown and slippers; hisheart beating fast: ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom.*

He walked slowly* out of the bedroom to the top of the stairs.Jack could hear the big grandfather clock ticking steadily.*All of a sudden it started to chime.*He waited until it had finished; then, step by step, he went down the stairs.*

As musicians and pianists we all have to use our imagination. In this sound story you get to create some music every time you see an asterisk (*).

9. THE BIRCH TREE

Dotted crotchet and quaver rhythm

This beautiful melody is a folk-song from Russia where the birch tree has a special meaning. There it is known as ‘bereza’ and is a symbol of spring, light and purity.

The melody was used by the Russian composer Tchaikovsky in the fourth movement of his 4th symphony. The version here has been slightly simplified.

See the love-ly birch in the mea-dow,

Cur-ly leaves all dance when the wind blows,

Loo-lee-loo, when the wind blows,

Loo-lee-loo, when the wind blows.
