Amy Beach was celebrated during her lifetime as the foremost female
composer of the United States, and her writing was frequently
inspired by the folk music of America and Britain. Originally for
piano, her Scottish Legend evokes Scotland in its wistful melody,
adorned by Scotch snaps and conveying a folk-like atmosphere, but
spiced up with a few late-Romantic harmonies. Contrasts between
major and minor are also used to telling effect in this gently
attractive piece, sympathetically arranged for the organ by Robert
Gower.

Nominated for a whopping 10 Tony Awards and grossing more than $1 million each week, Wicked is this year's Broadway smash! A prequel to the all-American classic The Wizard of Oz, this new musical is a character study of Elphaba and Glinda, school roommates who grow up to become the Wicked Witch and the Good Witch, respectively.

Both songbooks feature a special section of color photos from the production, a note from composer/lyricist Stephen Schwartz, and these fantastic tunes: As Long as You're Mine * Dancing Through Life * Defying Gravity * For Good * I Couldn't Be Happier * I'm Not That Girl * No Good Deed * No One Mourns the Wicked * One Short Day * Popular * What Is This Feeling? * The Wizard and I * Wonderful.

The ABRSM's popular and well-established Manual of Scales,
Arpeggios and Broken Chords is now published in a new modern
edition. Still containing all the standard scale and arpeggio
patterns, it has been enlarged to include whole-tone scales,
augmented arpeggios and additional broken chord patterns. Ruth
Gerald, formerly Head of Keyboard Studies at the Royal College of
Music and a senior ABRSM consultant and examiner, has written an
informative introduction, which includes some technical guidance
and practice suggestions. This new edition with its clear page
layout and accessible structure is an excellent resource for all
pianists.
Dvorak's choral masterpiece was first performed at the Birmingham
Festival on October 9, 1891 under the composer's direction. It
immediately entered the standard repertoire. This new vocal score
is a digitally-enhanced reissue of the one edited by Karel Solc as
part of Dvorak's complete works, published by the Czech State
publishing concern, SNKLHU, in the late 1950s. Now in a very
readable A4 size, this score will be a welcome addition for
vocalists, choruses and pianists alike.
Introducing the Positions, a series widely used in classroom and
private studio, represents a critical "next step" for string
students. Position playing allows players to extend range beyond
the basics and move into the ranks of intermediate and advanced
ensemble groups. The most important positions vary for each
instrument, and Whistler wisely introduces the most-used positions
first in Volume 1, followed by the next most important in Volume 2.
An irreplaceable component for every string student's training!
This book, the first of its kind to be published in English,
introduces the reader to the rich heritage of Spanish song. Here in
one volume are the texts of over 300 songs with parallel
translations in accurate and readable English. The majority are
love poems, which form a fascinating anthology of Spanish poetry
from the thirteenth to the twentieth century. The introduction by
Graham Johnson, who in recent years has done more than anyone to
kindle interest in the international song repertoire, traces the
history of Spanish song from its beginnings, via the period of the
Catholic kings in the fifteenth century, the Golden Age of the
sixteenth, through to the remarkable rebirth in the twentieth
century. All the songs and cycles frequently heard in recital are
gathered here: Albeniz, Falla, Granados, Rodrigo and Obradors are
generously represented, as well as Catalan composers such as
Montsalvatge and Mompou. The volume is arranged chronologically by
composer, and includes notes on all the major poets and composers,
a discography, and names and addresses of the music publishers. The
Spanish Song Companion is a much-needed volume and will be welcomed
by singers, students of Spanish literature, concert-goers and
record-collectors throughout the English-speaking world.

This exceptional cantata was probably first heard at the
Thomaskirche in Leipzig on June 16, 1726, though scholars cannot
rule out it being composed for a festival later that year or early
in 1727. The new digitally-enhanced vocal score presented here is
reproduced from the series first issued to coincide with the
monumental Bach Gesellschaft Ausgabe by Breitkopf und Hartel of
Leipzig just over a century ago with keyboard reductions by
Bernhard Todt.

EPTA's The Mindful Pianist, by Mark Tanner, presents amateurs and
professionals with a fresh perspective on playing and performing.
Applying the concept of mindfulness to the piano, this invaluable
text explores the crucial connection between mind and body: how an
alert, focussed mind fosters playing that is more compelling, more
refined and ultimately more rewarding. It tackles the issues
encountered by pianists when practising, performing, improvising
and preparing for an exam: how to choose repertoire and memorise
it; how to set about making an initial survey of a new piece; and
how to take a more level-headed view of our aspirations. Drawing on
the expert advice of 25 leading pianists and educationalists, this
unique book offers a wealth of exercises and musical examples to
help every player succeed in becoming a Mindful Pianist. The
Mindful Pianist was a 'Best Print Resource' nominee for the 2017
Music Teacher Awards for Excellence.

flows, and provides imitative textures and well-crafted narrative.
for women's chorus and piano. This cantata features sixteen
highly-varied folk song settings, bound together in seasonal
groupings to take the listener on an engaging journey through the
year from Spring to Winter. The prologue implores us to 'sing and
be merry', and many of the songs facilitate this with their
charmingly light-hearted melodies and imaginative orchestral
accompaniment. There are also darker moments, such as the haunting
and heart-rending setting of 'The Unquiet Grave' in 'Autumn'. For
this comprehensive new edition, the editor Graham Parlett has drawn
on all available sources, providing an authoritative full score
with critical commentary. This edition also makes available new
materials for the version for string orchestra and piano, and a new
vocal score.

An insteresting case of self-borrowing. Bach took music from this
work for his own Mass in B-minor (BWV 191/1 corresponds to the
Gloria in excelsis Deo, BWV 191/2 to the Domine Deus, BWV 191/3 to
the Cum sancto spiritu). This unusual cantata, the only one with a
Latin text, may have been written to celebrate the Peace of Dresden
(which ended the 2nd Silesian war) and first performed on Christmas
day, 1745. This newly engraved, carefully edited vocal score is
based on the Bach Gessellschaft edition. The convenient A4 size is
ideal for vocalists, choruses, and rehearsal pianists.
