Kennan: Sonata for Bb Trumpet and Piano ~ The Revised 1986 Edition (Piano Part with Pull-out Part for Bb Trumpet) (Contemporary Works for Brass Instruments) Review

The Revised 1989 Edition (Piano Part with Pull-out Part for Bb Trumpet). From the Introduction: The Sonata for Trumpet and Piano was commissioned by the National Association of Schools of Music and first published in 1956. The present revised version differs from the original one in the following respects: Passages that involve uneven groupings (5/8.7/8, etc.) or segments of varying lengths have been renotated using their "true" meter signatures rather than in a consistent meter with irregular beaming or accents. Although the latter notation was once felt to be easier to read, it tends to seem unnatural and even confusing to today's performers, for whom uneven and changing meters have long since become routine. The coda of the first movement, which the composer came to feel was too extended and repetitive, has been shortened somewhat. This change also reduces the tendency of that movement to seem disproportionately long in relation to the others. Metronome indications, which were originally about one notch too fast (because of a faulty metronome used in determining them) have been corrected. Portions of the piano part have been altered slightly. for reasons too various lo detail here. "In addition to four LP recordings of the Sonata issued some years ago, there is now a recording by Raymond Mase. Trumpet, and David Pearl, piano, on a compact disc entitled "Trumpet in our time" (Summit Records, DCD 148). Kent Kennan, January 1997

The Oxford Handbook of Computer Music (Oxford Handbooks) Review

The Oxford Handbook of Computer Music offers a state-of-the-art cross-section of the most field-defining topics and debates in computer music today. A unique contribution to the field, it situates computer music in the broad context of its creation and performance across the range of issues - from music cognition to pedagogy to sociocultural topics - that shape contemporary discourse in the field.

Fifty years after musical tones were produced on a computer for the first time, developments in laptop computing have brought computer music within reach of all listeners and composers. Production and distribution of computer music have grown tremendously as a result, and the time is right for this survey of computer music in its cultural contexts. An impressive and international array of music creators and academics discuss computer music's history, present, and future with a wide perspective, including composition, improvisation, interactive performance, spatialization, sound synthesis, sonification, and modeling. Throughout, they merge practice with theory to offer a fascinating look into computer music's possibilities and enduring appeal.

Embouchure Builder for French Horn Feature

• Book Pages: 40
• By Joseph Singer / compiled and ed. Richard E. Ballou
• Format Book

This book has been compiled to aid teachers and students in the development of the French Horn embouchure, particularly in the important period following elementary development. It is based upon the theory that, mechanically, nearly all of the problems to be met by the player in the orchestra, band, chamber ensemble, etc., can be covered by a comprehensive daily routine of practice. Various drills have been devised, with no claim to originality, to cope with the various mechanical problems of embouchure with which the player is faced in the field.
