Vaughan Williams fist encountered the old English folk song Dives
and Lazarus when he was 21, and here presents five variants that
are, in his own words, 'not exact replicas of traditional tunes but
rather reminiscences of various versions in my own collection and
those of others'. The work was premiered in Carnegie Hall as part
of the 1939 New York World's Fair, and is a wonderful example of
the sumptuous string textures and modal tonalities that have become
the composer's trademarks.
The Cambridge Clarinet Tutor is a comprehensive and stimulating
introduction to clarinet playing. Through the sixteen progressive
stages the beginner will develop the technical skills and
musicianship necessary to establish a love and understanding of the
clarinet and its music. Each stage comprises thorough technical
exercises, scales and arpeggios where relevant, a study, duets for
pupil and teacher, a piece with piano accompaniment and a work
introducing the player to the more traditional repertoire. The
studies and pieces composed by Paul Harris for the tutor are the
result of many years' teaching experience, and will add
significantly to the music available for the early stages of
clarinet playing. The colourful melodies, rhythms and harmonies
combine to make valuable teaching material and, from the beginning,
excite the musical imagination of the pupil.
Teachers and flutists at all levels have praised Nancy Toff's The
Flute Book, a unique one-stop guide to the flute and its music.
Organized into four main partsThe Instrument, Performance, The
Music, and Repertoire Catalogthe book begins with a description of
the instrument and its making, offers information on choosing and
caring for a flute, sketches a history of the flute, and discusses
differences between members of the flute family. In the Performance
section, readers learn about breathing, tone, vibrato,
articulation, technique, style, performing, and recording. In the
extensive analysis of flute literature that follows, Toff places
individual pieces in historical context. The book ends with a
comprehensive catalog of solo and chamber repertoire, and includes
appendices with fingering charts as well as lists of current flute
manufacturers, repair shops, sources for flute music and books, and
flute clubs and related organizations worldwide. In this Third
Edition, Toff has updated the book to reflect technology's
advancementslike new digital recording technology and recordings'
more prevalent online availabilityover the last decade. She has
also accounted for new scholarship on baroque literature; recent
developments such as the contrabass flute, quarter-tone flute, and
various manufacturing refinements and experiments; consumers'
purchase prices for flutes; and a thoroughly updated repertoire
catalog and appendices.
