MessiaenBuy discounted Messiaen sheet music. 3 Ghost Rags (Graceful Ghost Rag, Dream Shadows, The Poltergeist) Composer, pianist, and author William Bolcom (b. 1938) is one of the cutting-edge figures on the American musical scene. A student of Milhaud and Messiaen, he has been noted for the development of a style of performing ragtime music which propelled him into the forefront of the ragtime revival. Bolcom has been on the faculty at the University of Michigan since 1973. SKU: 9638 ISBN: UPC: 073999096385 This challenging organ work by one of the world's leading organists, Jean Guillou, was debuted by Guillou at the American Guild of Organists Convention in 1994. While the work is on the difficult side, the compositional techniques employed are readily discernible. Those who love Messiaen and Langlais will enjoy the challenge and reward of this composition for organ chamades. SKU: 8738910 ISBN: UPC: 073999449419 Dusapin (b. 1955), a former student of Messiaen and Xenakis, is among the leading French composers, with a large output in an attractive style. SKU: 50485551 ISBN: 063407914X UPC: 073999855517 The first printed edition of this early Messiaen work, composed in 1933 when the composer was 25 years old. SKU: 50564803 ISBN: UPC: 884088163655 Frankfurter Studien: Vol 9 Symphonik 1930-1950 German Text In the 1930s and 1940s there was an astonishing blossoming of the symphony: a phenomenon all the more surprising as the genre had markedly waned in significance in the preceding decades. Musicologists have so far paid scant tribute to what was in many respects a heyday of the symphony. The essays presented here examine symphonic works by Hindemith, Pfitzner, Fortner, Messiaen, Stravinsky and others, for the first time considering them in the context of political circumstances and historical events. SKU: 49015648 ISBN: 3795701155 UPC: 073999537086 Great Instrumental Works, The - Unlocking the Masters From Mozart to Debussy to Olivier Messiaen, the works of 50 composers are closely examined in The Great Instrumental Works. It is a book for anyone who enjoys the lively arts of opera, drama, film, literature, and popular song and who wants to find out what is really going on in the symphonies of Mozart, the string quartets of Beethoven, the orchestral works of Debussy and Ravel, and the contemporary pieces of Olivier Messiaen and Arvo Pärt. The author, Father Owen Lee, is an internationally known commentator on music and the arts, and writes with a style that has been called rich, dense, and profound (Citizen's Weekly), highly readable (Choice), and often irreverently amusing (Opera News). With Father Lee as a guide, the intricacies of classical forms and key relationships are rendered not only intelligible but meaningful, the music itself becomes life-enhancing, and its great composers come vividly to life. SKU: 331672 ISBN: 1574671170 UPC: 073999690132 Hommage A Jean Langlais - Organ Madame Marie-Louise Jaquet-Langlais and Dr. Fred Tulan have produced this collection to honor the 90th birthday of the composer and the 100th anniversary of the American Guild of Organists. This collection features the final unpublished organ solo by Jean Langlais, 'Pre'lude Gregorien,' as well as ten recently-composed organ solos in tribute to Langlais by such notables composer/organists as Jean Guillou, Naji Hakim, Antoine Tisne', George Bake, Joyce Jones, Anthony Newman, and Frederick Swann. This unique book also contains previously unpublished photographs of Langlais, written memories by Langlais' students and colleagues, and an essay by Dr. Tulan on Langlais, Messiaen, and their colleagues from L'Ecole de Coloristes. A valuable collection of challenging organ solos with important historical and musicological references. Spiral bound. SKU: 8738911 ISBN: UPC: 073999389111 In January 1964 Bernd Alois Zimmermann interrupted the completion of his opera Die Soldaten [The Soldiers] in order to rearrange his orchestral work Dialoge for two pianos. Monologe takes up the original material but develops it towards a different direction: Zimmermann's collage technique based on quotations extends over the entire musical setting so that it is not only Mozart (Piano Concerto in C major KV 467) who has his say but Beethoven, Messiaen and Bach as well. Monologe is a piece for two pianists; real monologues of these pianists who, though simultaneously, [...] do not always play at the same time; [...] losing themselves in their own thoughts, as it were. -Zimmermann SKU: 49005685 ISBN: UPC: 884088072452 Jean Guillou is one of the most significant contemporary organ virtuosos and composers for the instrument. A student of Dupré, Duruflé and Messiaen, he is the personification of the great and living French organ tradition. 'Furtive Pieces' are 10 short compositions of easy to medium difficulty, to be played individually or arranged into little suites. The publication date is timed to coincide with the 70th birthday of Jean Guillou on 20 April 2000. SKU: 49008358 ISBN: UPC: 073999238549 Ravel, Maurice - Analyses of the Piano Works of Published for the first time are Olivier Messiaen's analyses of three important piano works by Maurice Ravel, reconstituted, completed and edited by Yvonne Loriod-Messiaen. In this exceptional study Messiaen invites the reader to share in a total concentration on Ma Mčre l'Oye, Gaspard de la Nuit, and Le Tombeau de Couperin that will unfold the harmonic richness, the rhythmic subtlety, the formal invention and the instrumental creativity of Ravel's musical thinking. These personal and far-reaching analyses will allow both performers and listeners to understand more readily the mastery of these works and come closer to the poetic meaning of what Ravel created. SKU: 50564763 ISBN: UPC: 884088103897 Naji Hakim, born in Beirut in 1955, is counted among the most important of present-day organists and organ composers. He studied organ with Jean Langlais at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Paris, was organist at Sacré-Coeur in Paris from 1985-93 and then succeeded Olivier Messiaen as organist at the Eglise de la Trinité. He gives concerts throughout the world, works as a professor at the Conservatoire de Musique in Boulogne, and holds a visiting professorship at the Royal Academy in London. In his organ works, Naji Hakim often draws his thematic material from the gregorian chant, thesaurus of the roman catholic church, situated in the spirit of Vatican II. This paraphrase of the antiphon to the virgin, 'Salve Regina', is based on the plainsong theme (solemn tone). The gregorian line is unchanged; it evolves slowly above an expressive harmony. The text of the prayer is underligned by the meditative, soft and peaceful character.

SKU: 50486249 ISBN: 1423412427 UPC: 884088076634 'During the rehearsals for Schlussgesang for viola and orchestra performed at the 1997 Aldeburgh Festival, I conceived of the title of this present composition, with its internal rhyme, as an appropriate way of describing Tabea, the viola player. Later in the summer I composed an Andante, with a contrasting faster section which is the first of these three pieces. Immediately afterwards, I added a second, a scherzo-like piece, and for a finale made a transcription of the fifth movement of Schlussgesang, written in memory of my teacher Olivier Messiaen and titled Kein Gedanke, nur ruhiger Schlaf [no thought, only quiet sleep], the words taken from a fragment written down in a notebook by Franz Kafka.'
