for solo violin, upper-voice choir (women's and/or advanced
children's choir), with harp, and strings or organ This
four-movement work is inspired by the idea of 'Jerusalem' both as a
Holy City and a utopian ideal of heavenly peace and seraphic bliss.
The composer has selected four biblical texts, in English and
Latin, that express different aspects of this vision. The solo
violin part is identical for both full and reduced
instrumentations.
Music through the Ages Volume 1
This is the first book to address the full range of performance
issues for the cello from the Baroque to the early Romantic period.
The development of playing techniques and stylistic transitions are
traced regionally through a comparison of Italian, French, German,
English, and East European performance traits. Through a close
study of contemporary violoncello methods, music, early
instruments, periodicals, diaries, letters and pictures, Walden
provides a cohesive overview which examines construction methods
for instruments and bows, fingering and bowing techniques, special
effects and ornamentation, accompanying skills and the stylistic
preferences of the most famous soloists. Richly illustrated with
over 300 music examples, plates and figures, this book provides
playing instructions which can easily be applied by modern players
to their own performance of period music.
Featuring thirteen essays covering different traditions, styles, and instruments, this study is written by influential players, teachers and guitar historians. Its coverage allows the guitarist to learn the analogies and differences between traditions and styles. The genres range from baroque, classical, country, blues and rock to flamenco, African and Celtic.
This survey of the string quartet by ten chamber music specialists focuses on four main areas: social and musical background to the genre's development; celebrated ensembles and their significance; and string quartet playing. It reviews aspects of contemporary and historical practice, including "mixed ensembles." Informative appendixes and a full chronology of the mainstream repertory complete this compact guide.
This handbook provides a historical account of the development of the violin, viola and their close relatives as well as a practical guide to playing techniques and principles of interpretation. It aims to help performers to play in a historically appropriate style and to guide listeners toward a clearer understanding of the issues that affected string performance during this series' core period (c.1700-c.1900). Its six detailed case studies, which include Bach and Beethoven, will assist readers in forging well-grounded, period interpretations of major works from the repertory.
