The HiHat Chick
What's so important about incorporating the hi hat chick into your playing? Why should you explore it? Well, if you want to take your playing to the next level, and if you want to sound more modern, then you need to start using your hi hat foot more musically. I noticed that something was missing in my playing when I would hear myself back in recordings. I would listen to recordings of myself, and then listen to recordings of my inspirations, and hear that my playing was lacking something. And then one day, it hit me. It was my left foot. It was just sitting idle. The only time I really ever used it was sometimes to keep a steady quarter or 8th note pulse, or maybe a latin ostinato, but I never truly developed the independence/freedom to comfortably phrase with it like I could phrase with my right foot on the kick drum. That's how you can easily distinguish an intermediate drummer who is good, from an advanced drummer who is great. So, I decided to dive into exploring grooves and phrases incorporating the hi hat chick, not the typical way I was used to (a steady pulse), but exploring how to be more free with it... using it as a ghost note, a pickup note, or just another voice freely placed in a phrase. The goal is to become so comfortable with your hi hat foot, that it serves as a whole other voice that you can speak with, just like you can with your kick drum foot and hands. This is a collection of grooves and phrases that I've come up with on my journey incorporating the hi hat chick thus far. - Marco Cirigliano (from the Preface)

Mrs Amy Wilkinson and The Chinese Blind Boys Band
One aspect of the work that the missionaries did in China that has received little attention is the teaching of the blind to read, and in particular to read music. Amy Wilkinson is particularly interesting because in 1922 she brought her Chinese Blind Boys Band to England and they toured all over the country giving concerts. The concerts were widely reported in the local press and so we have quite detailed positive accounts of how well the band played. Any scepticism about what the standard of performance might have been like can be quelled by reading these accounts. What this book attempts to do is understand how these early pioneers developed systems to enable the blind Chinese to read in Chinese, first using embossed letters, and then Braille. How they then went on to teach music notation with embossed systems and then later Braille music notation. There are considerable technical difficulties for blind people to read Braille music notation and these must have been made more challenging teaching blind Chinese boys Western instruments and music that required an understanding of Western harmony and rhythm. Amy Wilkinson's achievements in this field deserve wider recognition than they have so far received.

Symphony No.2, Op.27
Composed over a six month period (October 1906 to April 1907), Rachmaninoff's second excursion into symphonic form was written at a time when he was still not entirely confident in his abilities to handle the genre. Unhappy with the first draft, the work was subjected to much revision for several months after its completion. The premiere, given on January 26, 1908 in St. Petersburg's Mariinsky Theatre with the composer conducting, received tumultuous applause from the delighted audience. The work gained much popularity soon after and remains a staple of the orchestral repertoire to this day.Editors Clinton F. Nieweg and Christopher R. Morgan have consulted all available sources in course of preparing their edition of this cornerstone work. Originally issued in 2011 by the now-defunct publisher E. F. Kalmus, this superb edition is now available from Serenissima Music as a large conductor score and orchestral parts aling with the study score offered here.

Symphony No.1, Op.25 ’Classical’
Prokofiev started work on his first numbered symphony in the later half of 1916, composing the bulk of it while on a country holiday to escape the street fighting in Petrograd during the February revolution, finally completing the work on September 10, 1917. Inspired by his encounter in conducting class with the works of Haydn and Mozart, the symphony features clear and light orchestration Mozart in particular would have appreciated. The premiere took place in Petrograd on April 18, 1918 with the composer conducting the newly formed State Orchestra, formerly the Court Orchestra of the Tsar. Editor Clinton F. Nieweg used all available sources in preparation of this outstanding edition of this landmark 20th century work. With a new clear engraving, the young Prokofiev's mastery of orchestral writing is readily apparent. First issued by the now-defunct publisher Kalmus in 2010, Serenissima is most pleased to offer this outstanding edition in study score format, along with the full score and orchestral parts. Serenissima is proud to serve as the only authorized publisher for Mr. Nieweg's outstanding editions.
Dance of the Hours from ’La Gioconda’
Dance of the Hours (Danza della ore) was composed for a ballet in the Act III finale to the 1876 opera La Gioconda. The scenario was a simple one: the depiction of the hours of the day using solo and ensemble dances. The opera was a major breakthrough for Ponchielli, and the third-act ballet soon became a favorite in the concert hall and as an independent ballet number. It's fame reached and entirely new level with its use as the background for a ballet-parody in the 1940 Disney film Fantasia, featuring dancing hippos, ostriches, alligators and elephants.Clark McAlister's edition goes back to Ponchielli's original score and was carefully researched consulting first editions, manuscripts and performance material. Originally issued in 2007 by the defunct publisher E.F. Kalmus, we are very pleased to make this excellent edition available in a convenient size study score. The large conductor score and orchestra parts are also exclusively available from Serenissima Music.
St. Paul’s Suite, H.118b
Holst's popular suite was named for the St. Paul's Girls' School of Hammersmith, London - where he was the music director from 1904 until his death thirty years later. Composed in 1912 as a token of gratitude for the installation of a sound-proof teaching studio, where Holst composed this and nearly all subsequent works. The four movement suite was also premiered at St. Paul's by the school orchestra under Holst's direction in the winter months of 1913. Not long after the premiere, the school purchased wind instruments, resulting in the addition of parts for flutes, oboe, clarinets and horn to the original string orchestra setting. The premiere date of this amended setting is unknown but the extra parts seem to have been added by 1920. Clark McAlister's new edition the setting with winds is based on the composer's manuscript, which differs in several respects from the string orchestra setting published in 1922. McAlister's score was first issued in 2006 by the now-defunct publisher E.F. Kalmus. Serenissima is proud to make this outstanding work available and is now the exclusive publisher for not only the study score offered here but the large score and orchestra parts.
Ode to Death, H.144
Considered by many to by Holst's most beautiful choral work, Ode to Death was composed as a tribute to friends who died in World War I. Using the poetry of Walt Whitman, who he considered a mystic new world prophet, Holst set the last section of "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd" using open chords with the feeling of infinite space. This haunting classic is now available in a newly engraved and thoroughly researched score by Richard W. Sargeant, Jr. The full score and orchestra parts are also available for sale from Serenissima Music.
Habanera, D 63
Originally for piano, Chabrier's Habanera was arranged for orchestra by the composer for a concert he conducted in Angers on November 4, 1888. The piano version was also the first to be published (Enoch Fr癡res et Costallat, 1885). The orchestral version, which is transposed up to D major, was not issued until 1889. The Habanera is a fine example of the Spanish genre which was so popular in the works of French composers in the 19th and early 20th centuries.Richard W. Sargeant's newly engraved is based upon the 1889 first edition score and parts, the composer's manuscript having vanished during the second world war. The study score offered here is a reduced format reproduction of thr large conductor score which is also available along with the orchestral parts from Serenissima Music.
Violin Concerto No.2, MS 48
Paganini's second concerto is separated by 11 years from his first, and differs quite a bit in content, with concentration more on intrinsic musical aspects than in showcasing the composer's famous virtuosity as violin virtuoso. Although the composer included the piece in his own list of works, it was not published until 11 years after his death - by the Paris firm Schonenberger as No.2 of a series titled "Oeuvres Posthumes". It's most famous for the third movement which features an unusual instrument in the orchestra of 1826 - a tuned bell in F-sharp. This led to the nickname "La Campanella". Though originally applied to the third movement's principal theme, it soon referred to the entire concerto. It also inspired several other composers to produce their own fantasies upon the melody.The score offered here is a newly engraved, thoroughly researched edition prepared by Gregory Vaught as part of the Nieweg Performance Editions series. The large score and orchestral parts are available from Serenissima Music along with the convenient study score format listed here.
Copp矇lia Ballet Suite
Copp矇lia, Delibes' first complete ballet score, was given its premiere in Paris at the Th矇璽tre Imp矇rial de l'Op矇ra on May 25, 1870 - less than two months before the onset of the Franco-Prussian War which not only disrupted performances of the ballet (especially after the siege of Paris) but led indirectly to the untimely deaths of choreographer Arthur Saint-L矇on (September) and 17-year old prima ballerina Giuseppina Bozzacchi (November). The ballet was soon revived and went on to become the most performed ballet at the Paris Op矇ra, entering the international ballet repertoire with performances in St. Petersburg, London and elsewhere before 1900.The suite offered here is the original one approved by the composer, consisting of four 'movements' made up of two dance numbers each, differs from the suite issued in 1883 by the Berlin publisher F羹rstner. This newly engraved edition by Clark McAlister, prepared from the original Heugel edition, was first published by the now-defunct firm E.F. Kalmus in 2005. Serenissima Music is proud to make this excellent edition available in a convenient study score format along with the full conductor's score and orchestra parts.
Oboe Concerto in D minor, Op.9 No.2
Tomaso Albinoni's Oboe Concerto in D minor has long been regarded as one of the finest concertos composed for the instrument. It was published in Amsterdam in 1722, the second of the 12 Concerti a cinque, Op.9. The date of composition and the premiere is unknown, but the work has increased in popularity in the later half of the 20th century to the present day along with the movement for historically appropriate performance practice. The edition offered here is a new one prepared by Richard W. Sargeant Jr. working from the copies of the 1722 print available online at IMSLP. This study score is a reduced-format version of the large score and also includes the editor's realization of the continuo part. Besides the large score, the orchestra parts and an oboe and piano reduction are also available from Serenissima Music.
E.W. Wolf
Among the many works composed in various genres by Ernst Wilhelm Wolf (1735-1792), the solo keyboard works stand out for their accessibility, expressivity, and clear formal unity. They are fine examples of the early classical and rococo style popular in Germany at the time. This edition includes 74 works composed between 1765 and the end of Wolf's life, mostly sonatas, some sonatinas, and one fantasy with variations. A friend and admirer of Carl Philipp Emmanuel Bach, Wolf, like C.P.E., clearly favored the clavichord, but most of the sonatas can be played on the fortepiano, as well as the modern piano. An important Foreword to Wolf's 1785 publication, A Guide to Good Performance on the Clavichord, is included here (in Volume 2) in a new translation. It is a valuable treatise that not only details Wolf's specific advice on clavichord technique, but also describes ornamentation, articulation, and other issues applicable to keyboard playing of the period.
Festival Overture on ’The Star-Spangled Banner’
Composed for a special July 4th, 1879 orchestral concert conducted by the famed bandmaster and conductor Patrick Gilmore, the 'Festival Overture on the American National Air' was not Dudley Buck's first treatment of the famous melody composed by John Stafford Smith. In 1866 Buch composed the Concert Variations on 'The Star-Spangled Banner' for organ as his Op.23 - published in 1869. The overture became quite popular in the composer's lifetime, often featured in Gilmore's summer concerts held on Coney Island's Manhattan Beach during the 1880s and early 1890s in a band arrangement. It was also a regular in orchestral concerts conducted in both America and in Europe by Frank Van der Stucken - founder of the Cincinnati Symphony.This new definitive performing edition by Clark McAlister is based on the composer's manuscript held at the Library of Congress. Previously issued by the now-defunct E.F. Kalmus in 2011, this new study score is a reduced-format reproduction of the beautifully engraved large score issued that year. The orchestral parts and full score for this outstanding edition are now exclusively available from Serenissima Music.
Learning the Bass, Book Two
Learning the Bass, Book Two continues the popular string method presented in Learning the Bass, Book One. Besides extensive work in note-reading, techniques such as string crossing, slurs, and both right and left-hand agility are taught. This book can be studied in private lessons, in single-string classes, or in mixed-string classes, along with Learning the Violin, Book Two, Learning the Viola, Book Two, and Learning the Cello, Book Two. A score and piano accompaniment is also available. This book could be studied along with Playing the Bass, Book One.
Symphony No.1, CG 527
Composed in 1853-54 as a kind of 'musical vacation' from the operas he was busy with, Gouod's first symphony was given its official premiere in Paris at a concert of the Soci矇t矇 des jeunes artistes on March 4, 1855 under the direction of Georges Paseldoup. The publisher Colombier issued score, parts and an arrangement for piano duet by the young Georges Bizet. This work might have served to inspire Bizet to try his own hand at the symphonic form as made the arrangement for piano duet shortly before starting his own Symphony in C major, which was forgotten for many years after Bizet's death.This newly engraved edition was made by Clark McAlister with some assistance from Nancy M. Bradburd, retired associate librarian of the Philadelphia Orchestra. First issued in 2006 by the now-defunct publisher E.F. Kalmus, the edition is now exclusively available from Serenissima Music. This new study score is a reduced-format reissue of the large score.
Two Horn Concertos
Haydn's early concerto for horn dates from 1762 - the second year of Haydn's long tenure as Kappellmeister of the Esterhazy court. Musicologists debate the intended occasion and soloist. Many have suggested it was composed for Thaddaus Steinm羹ller, one of the first musicians hired by Haydn the previous year, while others argue for it being composed for the baptism of one of the children of Joseph Leutgeb, the famous hornist for whom Mozart wrote concertos.The so-called second concerto, thought to date from around 1767 is now regarded by most Haydn scholars as doubtful. It was first mentioned in the Breitkopf catalogue of 1781 and haydn's brother Michael is argued to be the real composer, though others are in the running as well. The ca.1781 Dresden manuscript simply states it was composed by Signor Haydn, though the main source for the present edition is a copy of a Zwittau manuscript made by Eusebius Mandyczewski.The present editions were prepared by Clark McAlister on the basis of the first edition and other authoritative sources and published in 1994 by the now-defunct E.F. Kalmus. Serenissima is proud to now be the exclusive source for McAlister's excellent edition and the present study score is produced ina handy and easy to read format.
