The piano trio has been a favorite medium for composers since its
inception with Franz Joseph Haydn's compositions for violin, cello,
and piano. There have been numerous compositions by many composers
since that time, and the piano trio continues to interest composers
today. In the United States composers began writing for this
combination in the nineteenth century, following European
traditions. In the twentieth century, the number of composers and
compositions has seen a phenomenal increase. American Piano Trios:
A Resource Guide provides information about works for piano trios
(violin, cello, and piano) by American composers, including
naturalized United States citizens. The information includes a
brief biographical sketch of each composer, occasional comments by
the composer, and notable information that might lead to a further
exploration of his or her work and possible performance. Two
appendixes provide contact information about active performers of
piano trios and a list of classical music websites.
Arreglos de Tangos Para Piano en Aut
"Everything But Bach, Beethoven and Brahms," comprises this
multicultural repertoire guide for pianists, composers, music
teachers and students, world music enthusiasts and scholars. It
identifies pieces in the contemporary solo piano literature which
show world music influences not traditionally associated with the
standard repertoire of Western European art music. The resulting
annotated bibliography therefore includes pieces which use or
attempt to emulate non-Western scales, modes, folk tunes, rhythmic,
percussive or harmonic devices and timbres. Axford highlights the
music cultures of the Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan
Africa, India, the Far East, Indonesia, Oceania, ethnic North
America, Latin America and Spain, and Eastern Europe, Russia, and
Scandinavia. Separate bibliographies for each world music region
show examples of contemporary solo piano pieces that demonstrate
some of the traditional musical influences associated with the
region.
This is a major collection of organ music for students, players,
and church musicians of all levels and abilities. Compiler and
editor Anne Marsden Thomas has drawn on her long experience of
teaching and playing to select the most attractive, tuneful
repertoire in two sets of graded anthologies, one set (3 volumes)
for manuals only, the second set (3 volumes) for manuals and
pedals. Within each book the pieces are grouped according to
service needs into Preludes, Interludes, Processionals, and
Postludes. The repertoire spans the 16th to the 21st century, with
some new pieces written especially for the collection. A number of
pieces throughout the collection have been selected for the ABRSM
organ syllabus. The result is a wonderful collection of repertoire
for all players, containing a wealth of attractive and varied
pieces that will offer much practical support for church musicians
and enrich and develop their playing.
The inspiring arrangements in this collection of well-known praise
and worship songs are artistic, yet remain faithful to the essence

the Deer * Holy Ground * Spirit Song * I Love You, Lord * There Is
a Redeemer * Shine, Jesus, Shine * Majesty * Bind Us Together.

This book presents figured harmony as a form of aural training. It
seeks to make the student more keenly aware of chord-relationships
as actual sound. It will increase the student's power to form an
inward realization of what a page of music is going to sound like
without having actually heard it.
