In what is primarily an instructional book, Jack Brymer places the
instrument in the broad context of its role in the orchestra and in
chamber music, expressing stimulating and controversial views.
Perhaps his most original and valuable contribution is to be found
in the long section on acoustics, the down-to-earth section on the
practical clarinettist, and the illuminating passages on artistic
approach. Brymer writes for the teacher of the clarinet, as well as
for beginners and advanced players, and the unique appendix on the
clarinet repertoire is particularly comprehensive. Modern science
has revealed facets of the clarinet's harmonic structure previously
only dimly perceived, and the author points the way to a future
full of promise.

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.

Time Pieces for Descant/Soprano Recorder is a two-volume anthology
of well-crafted arrangements of music from the 14th century to the
present day. The pieces are presented chronologically within each
volume and all include the year in which they were written, so that
you can get a feel for the different styles of music through time.
Both volumes feature contrasting styles, from Susato to Chopin and
from Mozart to Prokofiev and are an invaluable source of further
study and recital repertoire for Grades 1-5.
This volume brings together all the music Walton wrote for brass
throughout his life, from the various fanfares, often written for
ceremonial occasions, to the more extended work, The First Shoot, a
piece which the editor of this volume, Elgar Howarth, was
instrumental in bringing to life. The volume includes full critical
apparatus and selected facsimiles of manuscript pages.
