Download or read book Basic Chamber Music written by Juan Antonio Muro and published by Chanterelle. This book was released on 2000-03 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mel Bay Publications, Inc., in conjunction with Chanterelle presents the first of two volumes of short chamber music works for pupils of all ages in their first years of study. The music is mainly descriptive, idiomatic and easy, frequently using dramatic elements. The didactic aim is the practice of instrumental ensemble playing. At a personal level the music contains small musical and technical challenges, such as notes or passages in high positions, natural harmonics, and dynamic changes as well as basic articulation techniques, basic timbrical elements, and other colorful effects typical of contemporary music. All the works are constructed so that the first two guitars contain the essence of the music, while the third and fourth guitars add dimension and color to the ensemble. This means that each work can be played as a duo, trio, or quartet. The works are also perfectly adaptable for larger ensembles. Written in standard notation only.

Download or read book Incorporating Chamber Ensembles in the Middle School Instrumental Music Program written by Heidi Drennan and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a band director, I recognize the learning opportunities that are presented by participation in chamber music ensembles. But ensemble playing is often confined to the small window of time during spring contest season for high school students. The ability to participate in small chamber ensembles can also be limited to students who are already excelling musically. Casual observations in my program have shown that students are motivated by their participation in these one-to-a-part groups, and the learning that takes place in the student-led rehearsals can benefit the larger ensemble. The feeling that students of all musical levels will benefit from participation in chamber ensembles led me to implement a chamber music program for my middle school students. The program began with a small ensemble project involving 8th-grade band members in the spring of 2020. The goal of this project is to expose students to the benefits of chamber ensemble participation and transfer their musical growth to the large ensemble experience. My teaching philosophies and practices have changed in several ways during the process of obtaining my master's degree. One of the most significant areas of growth has been in literature selection for my ensembles. The coursework exposed me to a variety of unfamiliar composers and has encouraged me to seek out different styles of music to share with my students. I have clarified many of the organizational aspects of my program, such as rehearsal design and sequence, assessments, and day to day management of the band. Reflecting on my personal music teaching theory and reviewing the work of significant music educational philosophers has allowed me to refine and focus my teaching goals and processes.

Download or read book A Conductor s Repertory of Chamber Music written by and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1993-06-21 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a valuable resource for instrumental conductors, conducting teachers, and students. Most universities offering advanced degrees in instrumental conducting cannot provide a training orchestra or wind ensemble for the conductor. The chamber orchestra, which can be easily organized and requires a smaller instrumentation, provides a reasonable alternative. The chamber ensemble has the potential to offer training for the developing conductor and to expand the repertoire of the professional conductor. A Conductor's Repertory of Chamber Music lists over one thousand original works for chamber ensembles ranging in size from nine to fifteen solo instruments. The work includes three sections: the Repertory, a complete data base of compositions listed by composer and including instrumentation, publisher, the composer's date of birth, and the number of required musicians; the Repertory Classified, which lists compositions according to similar combinations of instruments; and a Title Index.

Download or read book Ensemble written by Abram Loft and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As performer, coach, teacher, scholar, and author, Abram Loft has devoted himself to chamber music for almost half a century. In this useful and diverting book, he draws on his vast experience to guide the reader through thirty compositions, from piano trio to string sextet, from Haydn to Britten. The treatment by this master teacher is both detailed and serious, but far from solemn. Bowings, fingerings, tone color, dynamics, tempo, balance, rubato, phrasing, repeats--these are among the many facets of rehearsal and performance that Loft touches on in his discussions. He relates every element to the movement at hand, and to the musical logic of the composition as a whole. He lets us know when to heat up the melody, and when to exit laughing. He draws us into the composer's perspective and attunes us to the significant musical events as they unfold. His enjoyment and respect for the work are evident. And always there is the good-humored understanding that his own approach--highly informed though it is--is but one among a number of possible concepts. His aim is to encourage each ensemble to arrive at its own thoughtful interpretation of the composition under study. Ensemble! speaks to the professionally oriented group, the serious student ensemble, and the amateur enthusiast of chamber music. This book can supplement the advice and observation of the live instructor and also serve as a surrogate coach and tutor. Ensemble! guides the reader through the challenges and around the pitfalls of a most demanding pursuit: the playing of fine chamber music. Convincing and confident performance is the attainable goal.
Download or read book Beethoven for a Later Age written by Edward Dusinberre and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2016-01-19 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'They are not for you but for a later age!' Ludwig van Beethoven, on the Opus 59 quartets. Tackling the Beethoven quartets is a rite of passage that has shaped the Takács Quartet's work together for over forty years. Using the history of the composition and first performances of the quartets as the backbone to his story, Edward Dusinberre, first violinist of the Takács since 1993 - recounts the life of the Quartet from its inception in Hungary, through emigration to the US and its present-day life as one of the world's renowned string quartets. He also describes what it was like for him, as a young man fresh out of the Juilliard School, to join the Quartet as its first non-Hungarian member - an exhilarating challenge. Beethoven for a Later Age takes the reader inside the life of a quartet, vividly showing how four people enjoy making music together over a long period of time. The key, the author argues, is in balancing continuity with change and experimentation - a theme that also lies at the heart of Beethoven's remarkable compositions.

Download or read book Chamber Music written by Victor Rangel-Ribeiro and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few joys equal the pleasure of playing music on the instrument you love, a joy that can be enhanced by joining fellow musicians in a piece of chamber music. Despite the extraordinary growth of interest in chamber music, there has not been a single book or even a combination of books to help a chamber musician or program planner determine what music, if any, exists for a given combination of instruments. This unique book fills that gap. Authors Victor Rangel-Ribeiro and Robert Markel, both musicians themselves, have gathered over 8,000 listings of pieces for three to 20 musicians. Culled from over 100 catalogues of music publishers worldwide plus other sources, Chamber Music covers the last 500 years of music. It includes not only a complete listing of the standard chamber music repertoire but thousands of other, lesser-known pieces written for an array of instrumental combinations - including the voice. More than 5,000 listings are for 20th-century music. Chamber Music is divided into three sections for easy access to information. The first contains music composed up to the time of Haydn and Mozart; the second, music from Beethoven to the present. Each listing contains the composer's name and dates, the title of the piece, the opus or catalogue number, if any, the year composed or published, if known, the key, if any, the duration of the piece, if specified by the composer or publisher, the instrumentation of the piece - including indications for voices and unusual instruments - and finally the name of the publisher. Comments, where appropriate, show when instrumental substitutions can be made, when the composer has not specified particular instruments, what unusual instruments are required, when a conductor might be needed, or any other relevant information of interest to the player. The third section, the "Master Quick-Reference Index," lists a number of instrumental combinations and directs the reader to composers who have written for those particular ensembles. Comprehensive and easy to use, for the amateur or professional musician or anyone with an interest in the subject, Chamber Music is sure to enhance any music lover's reference shelf.
