Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music Baroque Flute Pieces, Book I
Book SynopsisThis five-volume graded anthology acts as an introduction to the flute music of the early- and mid-eighteenth century. All important composers of flute music of the period are represented, starting with the French pioneers La Barre and Hotteterre, and culminating in the great Germans Handel and Bach. Texts faithfully follow the original sources, any editorial additions being carefully differentiated as such. These marks, which include ornament realizations and breathing suggestions, together with the editorial notes that accompany each piece, are designed to help the progressing flautist to cultivate an authentic playing style. In addition, useful information is given about the composers represented and about the pieces selected and the sources from which they are drawn. A separate continuo part is provided, allowing the bass line to be doubled on cello or viola da gamba, in accordance with standard continuo practice. This part, in which the bass is figured, may also be used by keyboard players who wish to improvise their own accompaniment.Trade ReviewThey are attractively produced and designed ... the music is clearly printed and the excellent textual notes ... are in a typeface large enough to read but neat enough not to clutter or confuse the page. * Early Music Today *Congratulations are due to ABRSM Publishing for its choice of editor and to Richard Jones for his skill in making these very practical anthologies. * Early Music Today *... excellent value for money and highly recommended. * Music Teacher *This is a marvellous introduction to the music of the early and mid 18th century. * Music Teacher *Table of ContentsMenuet en Musette from Suite No.1 in D [d'Hervelois] ; Menuet Rondeau, Gavotte from 'La Therese' and Le Polichinel Rondeau from Suite No.1 in G [Philidor] ; Gigue La Cadette from Suite in G, Op. 4 No. 2 [La Barre] ; Menuet Le Mignon from Suite in G, Op. 2 No. 2 [Hotteterre] ; Gavotte from Suite in G minor, Op. 5 No. 1 [Hotteterre] ; Sarabanda and Gavotta from Sonata in E minor, Op. 5 No. 1 [Jean Baptiste Loeillet] ; Gavotte La Therese from Suite No. 1 in G [Philidor] ; Siciliana from Partia No. 2 in G, TWV 41:G2 [Georg Philipp Telemann] ; Siciliana from Partia No. 5 in E minor, TWV 41:el [Georg Philipp Telemann] ; Grave from Sonata No. 6 in B minor [Roman] ; Minuetto from Sonata No. 9 in C [Roman] ; Minuetto from Sonata in G, Op. 2 No. 10 [Locatelli] ; Vivace from Sonata in D, Op. 30 No. 11 [Schickhardt] ; Sarabanda from Sonata in E minor, Op. 8 No. 3 [William De Fesch] ; Aria and Gavotta from Sonata in G, Op. 8 No. 4 [William De Fesch] ; Gavotte I & II from Sonata in D, Op. 1 No. 3 [Naudot] ; Sarabanda from Sonatille in E minor,

Kahn & Averill Clarinet
Book SynopsisIn 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.Table of ContentsIntroduction by Yehudi Menuhin, Preface by Jack Brymer, Introduction, 1.

John Donald Publishers Ltd The Highland Pipe and Scottish Society 1750-1950
Book SynopsisThe Highland bagpipe has long been a central strand of Scottish identity, but what happened to the Highland bagpipe in the two centuries following Culloden? How was its music transmitted and received? This study presents contemporary evidence and uses a range of methods to recreate the changing world of the pipers as they influenced and were influenced by the transformation in Scottish society. This book is intended for pipers exploring the achievements and musical concerns of their predecessors; for the general reader interested in a music whose history is akin to that of Scotland's poetry and song; and for all students of the process of tradition.Combining newspaper and manuscript evidence from the pipers themselves with a wide range of historical sources, the author harnesses the insights of the practical player to those of the historian and provides a fresh account of the players and their musical traditions, which have previously been the subject of much myth-making. This is the first history of the musical culture of the worldwide piping community.
