String Trio 0 -1 - 2 - 3
String Trio 0-1-2-3 This piece is about the creation. The inspiration came from 'Dao' concept. It starts by playing the Zero: a strong musical motion without the sound from the instrumental body. Each instrument (Violin, Viola, and Cello) is independent, yet well connected at the same time. The The music consists of three parts, it will be played through without stopping. It starts from this 'Zero' developing into every individual sound, building up lines-, structure-, and eventually into a high energy explosion-, then leads us back to zero- a transparent endless sonic space and time ....

String Virtuosi in Eighteenth-Century Naples
Drawing on extensive archival work, this book examines the crucial contribution of Neapolitan string virtuosi to the dissemination of instrumental music and to the development of string practices and musical culture in Europe. It presents a fresh look at the central place of instrumental music in early modern Naples and considers aspects of music pedagogy, performance practices, patronage, and musicians' social mobility. Music examples, paintings, and lists of personnel of major music institutions inform the discussion and illustrate the opportunities for social mobility afforded by the music profession. Music production and consumption are considered within their cultural, political, and economic contexts and in connection with the rapid political changes of eighteenth-century Naples. This substantial contribution to the understanding of a previously under-studied repertory places the cultivation of Neapolitan instrumental music at the centre of aesthetic and cultural developments across eighteenth-century Europe.
Guitar Soloing
Move From Pentatonics to Modes - InstantlyAre you ready to expand your palette of musical sounds?Are you stuck playing pentatonics and looking for something new? Are you daunted by the prospect of learning modes and complicated theory? "Learn your modes" is one of the most common pieces of advice given to aspiring guitarists... but the question of how best to learn and play them is rarely addressed. All too often, students are given big grids of scale shapes and taught to run up and down boring patterns without much success. What's worse is that your phrasing often becomes dull and "un-guitar-like" when you learn modes in this way.A Better Way to Play Modes on GuitarBut there's a much better way to learn modes, especially when you can already play pentatonic scales. In fact, there's a "secret" trick that the world's greatest guitarists have been using for years to bring modal notes into their solos without losing their beautiful pentatonic phrasing. In From Pentatonic Scales to Modes, you'll learn how pentatonic shapes form the "skeletons" of literally any mode, and how by adding just two notes you can quickly bring modal colours into your playing while retaining classic pentatonic phrasing. This book teaches you the most important modes of Dorian, Aeolian, Mixolydian and Major anywhere on the neck and you'll learn hundreds of gorgeous licks along the way.The best thing is that by learning your modes in this way, you are fully in control of which colours you add to your solos, so you can avoid clich矇d patterns and mindless runs.By the end of From Pentatonic Scales to Modes you will be playing modes with musical pentatonic phrasing and be highly selective about which notes you use in your solos.And when you get right down to it, being choosy about your notes is what makes you a better soloist.

Basso Continuo for Bach織s Cello Suites
A Must Have for musicians BASSO CONTINUO FOR BACH織S CELLO SUITESCreated for cello, viola, bassoon, bass clarinet, trombone, marimba, etcUSE IT FOR: Concerts, teaching, harmonic training, practicing accompaniment I was just a kid when my cello teacher started accompanying me by ear with different pieces of music, and I learned to do the same with my violinist sister. In that way, the music made complete sense to me, and I felt a special joy in playing and sharing the language of music with others. This was possibly what helped me survive learning such a hard instrument. Meanwhile, it was time to learn Bach. I soon understood that the different voices in the Bach Suites were woven into a single line, and that fascinated me. I wanted to understand that process more and more. For three decades I listened to dozens of master classes highlighting the importance of harmony, and I fantasized about sharing that playful character with someone accompanying me in these dances. After all, since the baroque period is the era of the basso continuo, why not write it down explicitly? This creation is meant to be used for pleasure, and to enjoy. For all the instrumentalists who study this repertoire: teachers, students and performers in concerts. This is to help understand and enhance the determining role of harmony and rhythm, and to be able to transmit through music the desire to share and dance.
Hymns of Exaltation
I hope you enjoy "Hymns of Exaltation." This book contains 8 instrumental piano hymn arrangements. There are 72 pages in this piano/vocal intermediate - advanced level piano book. This book includes all of the lyrics so performers can sing along with the accompaniment. You will enjoy playing and singing these hymns as you have never heard them performed like this before. Each of the hymns is presented in lesson format to help teach the theory used in arranging each of the hymns. The book is broken down into 8 individual lessons - one for each of the 8 hymns arranged in this book: (1) "For the Beauty of the Earth"(2) "Be Still My Soul"(3) "Nearer My God to Thee"(4) "I Stand All Amazed"(5) "Abide with Me"(6) "I Need Thee Every Hour/Lead Kindly Light"(7) "More Holiness Give Me", and(8) "If You Could Hie to Kolob", (also known as "I Heard the Voice of Jesus," and "O Sing a Song of Bethlehem," among other names). It is the hope of the author and publisher that each of these hymn arrangements will uplift, inspire, comfort, and empower the performers and the listeners. Hymns are magnificent, because they help us focus on that which is of most worth to us. As we listen to the melodies, we think of the inspired words of each hymn. They help us do our best each as we strive to do our part to help those around us. The order of the hymn selections in this book has a deliberate order. As we look at the beauty of this earth, our souls are stilled. We have imperfections, but we strive to be nearer to God. By doing so, we stand amazed and ask God to abide with us. We need Him and His light in our lives, because He gives us more holiness. We hear His voice and come to Him because He loves us and we are His.
