Peter Maxwell Davies: Piccolo Concerto

Piccolo and Piano Reduction. This work was commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. It was first performed on 23 April 1997, by Stewart McIlwham and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by the composer. The three movements should be played without a break.The piccolo may have obvious limitations as a solo instrument, but Davies is not one to shirk a challenge. What he does is to play with the stereotypical modes of the instrument, so that the military ?pipe and drum? effect is hinted at near the beginning of the third movement, while the jaunty manner is recalled at the close of the first, but as through a veil. A potentially comic partnership with the bass clarinet is also dignified when the two instruments engage in meditative dialogue in the second movement.Duration c. 15 minutes.Study Score on sale. Conductor's score and orchestral parts are available on hire.

James Whitbourn: Agnus Dei From Missa Carolae

James Whitbourn 's Agnus Dei From Missa Carolae . Missa Carolae was commissioned by Rochester Cathedral, the second oldest cathedral in England, to mark the 1400th anniversary of its foundation. It was first performed there on 24 December 2004 by the Rochester Cathedral Choirs, Andy Findon (Fife), the Locke Brass Consort, Edmund Aldhouse (Organ), Joby Burgess and Catherine Ring (Percussion), directed by Roger Sayer. The work is intended to invoke a dance-like spirit, which is true to the origin of the carol as a simple dance form. The choir parts should be very well-known, so that the singers can sing with the whole of their bodies and not just their voices. This version is a reduced scoring for SATB (unchanged) with Organ and optional Piccolo and also acts as the vocal score to the full version. In this scoring, the Piccolo adds to the effectiveness of the piece. In either scoring, the Piccolo may be replaced with a Flute, Fife, or even a more rustic Pipe, as was used at the first performance. The original scoring for SATB with Piccolo, Brass (3 Trumpets and 3 Trombones), Percussion (2 players) and Organ accompaniment is the preferred version. Full score and parts are available on hire from the publisher, or full score on sale (CH71621). The Piccolo part (CH79893-01) is common to both scorings and is available on sale or hire with the full version. The Organ accompaniment in this score is for performance of the version for SATB, Piccolo and Organ only. An A4 spiral-bound version of this score may be preferable for the organist (CH79893-02). The separate Organ part - available on hire - must be used for the version with instruments. An ad lib. part for the congregation (CH70961, pack of 50) is incorporated into the full scoring of Missa Carolae. Reference to the entries of the congregation is made in the vocal score for occasions when it is used in conjunction with the full instrumentation.

Peter Maxwell Davies: Strathclyde Concerto No. 9 Score And Parts

The solo group consists of a sextet of the woodwind instruments which are normally doubled with more regular members of the orchestra: these six strangers, now brought to the fore, are piccolo, alto flute, cor anglais, clarinet in Eb, bass clarinet in Bb and contrabassoon. They make a motley group, diverse in colour as in register, and one of the tasks of the piece sets itself is to have them blend and cohere, both together as an ensemble and in partnership with the string orchestra (which itself is used with unusual variety and subtlety). Another evident task of the work is to provide fine solos for each member of the woodwind sextet: bright dances for the piccolo, recitatives for the alto flute, a stoical song from the contrabassoon in the extreme bass. The work is cast as a single movement, which begins in the composer's first-movement style of rapid regeneration. This is interrupted by slow interventions, including one for divided strings which gives rise to a sextuple cadenza for the soloists. Out of this comes a slow movement, or sequence of short slow movements, followed by a dancing finale with its own slow episodes. Altogether this is music of songs and dances, heavily tinged with Scottish rhythms and tonalities: one might think of a magic bagpipe, having six chanters and a drone of variegated string texture.

Peter Maxwell Davies: Strathclyde Concerto No. 9 (Miniature Score)

The solo group consists of a sextet of the woodwind instruments which are normally doubled with more regular members of the orchestra: these six strangers, now brought to the fore, are piccolo and alto flute, cor anglais, Eb and bass clarinets and contrabassoon.

It is the ninth of ten concerti to be written for principal players of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. The first performance was given in February 1995 by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, conducted by the composer.
