Le Chasseur maudit, CFF 128
Composed in 1882, Franck's brilliant ton poem is after a ballad by the German poet Gottfried B羹rger about a count who defiantly goes hunting on Sunday in violation of the sabbath. Though reminded of the day via church bells and chants and warned by church elders, the Count blows his hunting horn. In the forest he is cursed by a loud voice: "Cursed hunter, be thou eternally pursued by Hell!" The wild ride commences when the count attempts to flee but is sourrounded by flames, and pursued by demons - blocking him and then chasing him day and night. Even when the count and his horse fall into the abyss they are borne through the air to ride on in eternal punishment.Inspired by the lurid tale, Franck unleashed the power of a large orchestra to portray the dark and fantastic tale of the infernal ride in sound. Clint Nieweg and Nancy Bradburd's 2010 edition, previously issued by the now-defunct publisher E.F. Kalmus, is based on the first edition and other authoritative sources. The study score offered here is a reduced-format reissue of the large conductor's score, which is now available along with the orchestral parts from Serenissima Music.
Ciroc Nights Diddy After Hours
This is an unedited hip-hop script I wrote for CEO of Bad Boy Records, Sean Diddy Combs. He took me on as an apprentice writer September 2016. I enjoy working as a copywriter too, marketing Ciroc vodka. This summer, start making homemade pure vanilla extract, with French vanilla Ciroc. Take a large Mason jar, place pure vanilla pods from Sprout's or Whole Food grocery store inside, fill to the brim with French vanilla Ciroc. Let marinate for at least six months, the longer the better. You will have a good quality pure vanilla extract comparable to Watkin's, which I love.
Clarinet Concerto No.2, Op.5
Composed around 1815 and dedicated to Tsar Alexander I of Russia, Crusell's second concerto is one which takes full advantage of the two prominent registers of the instrument, which the minor-key first movement uses to highten the dramatic nature of the music. The second movement, a pastorale-like Andante in the relative major, is followed by a return to F minor for the Rondo - which nevertheless ends in F major. The concerto was first published in 1818 and this first edition was the primary source for McAlister's newly engraved edition offered here - in a convenient reduced format study score. The large score and orchestra parts are also exclusively available from Serenissima Music.
Dixtuor, Op.14
Enescu composed this work for chamber winds in 1906 for a Paris ensemble known as the Soci矇t矇 moderne d'instruments ? vent, who gave its premiere on June 12 of that year. The work was published a year later but has only recently made its way into the chamber wind repertoire. The new edition offered here was perpared by Clark McAlister and first published in 2007 by the now-defunct publisher E.F. Kalmus.This new study score, in a handy size, is a reduced format reissue of the 2007 large score, which is now exclusively available along with the parts from Serenissima Music.

Carmen Suite de Concert No.1
In the wake of Georges Bizet's untimely death in 1875, his longtime friend Ernest Guiraud (1837-1892) arranged two orchestral suites taken from the French master's final work, the opera Carmen. The two suites were compiled between 1880 and 1882. Guiraud selected five items for the first suite: Pr矇lude, Aragonaise, Intermezzo, Les Dragons d'Acala and Final (Les Toreadors) which was published by the Paris firm Choudens. The first suite's orchestration little changed from that found in the corresponding numbers of the opera in Guiraud's score. Around 1906, the German conductor Fritz Hoffmann orchestrated the S矇guidille for the publication of his edition of the first suite issued by the Leipzig publisher Breitkopf und H瓣rtel. Hoffmann's orchestral setting departs substantially from the composer's own orchestration in the opera. For this new edition, Clark McAlister has provided a new orchestration of the famous S矇guidille in which the vocal line is given to English horn while Bizet's own orchestration is largely unchanged. For those who prefer Hoffmann's setting, it is to be found as an appendix in the present score. The large conductor's score and orchestral parts for this outstanding new edition are exclusively available from Serenissima Music.
Two Tit-Bits of Room-Music
While renowned for his imaginative folk-music settings, Percy Grainger also composed a number of original works in a folk-music style. This new study score presents two Grainger originals written in the manner of English folk music. The first, Mock Morris, composed in the style of an English morris dance, was one of the earliest composed (1910). The second one, Handel in the Strand, likewise heavily influenced by the style of morris-dance tunes - with the indication that it is to be "played to or without clog-dancing".As with many of Grainger's British Folk-Music settings both of these exist in multiple arrangements - "dished-up" by the composer himself as part of his own "Room-Music Tit-Bits" series. Composed between 1910 and 1912, Mock Morris is scored for an ensemble of string sextet (or string orchestra), while Handel in the Strand is for piano quartet. The scores offered here are digitally restored reissues of the ones published in 1911 and 1912 by Schott & Co., Ltd. of London. The full scores and parts for both of these works are also available from Serenissima Music.

Japanese Suite, H.126
Composed while working on The Planets, Holst wrote this suite for the Japanese dance Michio Ito in 1916. Ito supplied the Japanese melodies for all numbers save the "Marionette Dance" and possibly performed in the premiere at London's Coliseum Theatre the same year. The first confirmed performance of this 11-minute suite took place on September 1, 1919 in Queen's Hall with the New Queen's Hall Orchestra conducted by the composer. The suite was finally published in 1925 by Hawkes and Son.This newly engraved edition prepared by Richard W. Sargeant draws on primary sources and is a welcome addition to the libraries of Holst aficionados worldwide. With a clean and readable layout, the score is a reduced-format version of the full score - also available from Seremissima Music along with the orchestral parts.
Christmas Day, H.109
Gustav Holst's 'Choral Fantasy on Old Carols' was composed in 1910, just two years before the similar work, Fantasia on Christmas Carols, by his good friend Ralph Vaughan Williams made its debut. It seems to have been composed for a Christmas concert given in London by Morley College, where the premiere likely took place. The carols employed - Good Christian Men Rejoice, God Rest You Merry Gentlemen, Come Ye Lofty, Come Ye Lowly, and The First Nowell - include a couple also found in the Vaughan Williams work. This newly engraved and researched edition by Richard W. Sargeant Jr. is based upon the composer's manuscript and the first edition vocal score and orchestral parts issued by Novello in the same year it was written. Holst's fantasy is shorter by about 5 minutes than the Vaughan Williams and offers a different view of the familiar carols. The full conductor's score and orchestral parts are also available from Serenissima Music.
Moorside Suite, H.173
Holst composed the Moorside Suite for the BBC and the National Brass Band Festival Committee for the final of the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain at Crystal Palace in 1928. He was excited to be able to listen to all 15 performances of the competition, in which the Black Dyke Mills Band conduced by William Halliwell won. This was his only work for Brass band and its immediate popularity and success lead to other commissions for the genre. For the newly engraved score offered here, editor Richard W. Sargeant, Jr. has reorganized the traditional British brass band instrumentation for the symphonic brass ensemble found in most orchestras, with the additional flugelhorn and euphonium to retain something of the sound Holst heard at the 1928 premiere. The full score and instrumental parts for this new edition are also available for sale from Serenissma Music.
Cello Concerto, Op.85
Following a disastrous premiere given by the under-rehearsed London Symphony on October 27, 1919 with the composer conducting and Felix Salmond as soloist, Elgar's last great work only very gradually entered the repertoire. Besides Salmomd, the only cellist to champion the work in the composer's lifetime was Beatrice Harrison, who also was the first to record the entire concerto in 1928 with a much-better rehearsed LSO conducted by Elgar. In the following decades the concerto's popularity grew slowly thanks to performances and recordings by Pablo Casals, Paul Tortelier and Mstislav Rostropovich, whose student Jacquline du Pr矇's performances and recordings served to push the work into the permanent repertoire. The study score offered here is a thoroughly corrected edition first prepared by Nancy M. Bradburd and Clinton F. Nieweg first issued as a large score in 2008. The large conductor's score and orchestra parts are now also for sale from Serenissima Music.

Piano Concerto No.1, Op.15
Composed in 1858, Brahms' first concerto was given its premiere in Hanover's Royal Theater on January 22, 1859 with the 25-year-old composer as soloist and the orchestra was conducted by Joseph Joachim. The new work got a cold reception in Hanover and a similar reaction was the response to the Leipzg performance 5 days later with the far more professional Gewandhaus orchestra. Undaunted, the work was received with great applause at the third performance in March, given in Hamburg. The concerto has been a staple of the concert repertoire for piano and orchestra ever since.The study score offered here is a corrected edition prepared by Clinton Nieweg and Robert Sutherland from the composer's manuscript, the first editions and other authoritative sources. The large conductor's score and orchestral parts are also available from Serenissima Music.
A Fugal Overture, H.151
Originally composed as the overture for his opera The Perfect Fool but ultimately not used, Holst displays his wit and exuberance in this delightful work. Showcasing his interest in counterpoint, it is not a strict fugue, but a more of a comic fugue-parody using canonic material. Offered here is a study score for the newly engraved critical edition based upon the composer's manuscript and first edition prepared by Richard W. Sargeant Jr., printed on high quality stock and perfect-bound with a glossy cover. The large conductor's score and orchestra parts are also available for sale from Serenissima Music, inc.
Polovstian Dances
The Polovtsian Dances from Borodin's opera Prince Igor consist of two numbers from the opera's second act. The first (no.8 in the opera) is the 'Dance of Polovtsian Maidens' while the remaining dances are taken from the second act finale (no.17). Borodin worked sporadically for almost 18 years on Prince Igor but it was left in an incomplete chaotic state upon his death in 1887. The dances here were selected and partially orchestrated by Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov for an 1879 concert performance and subsequently revised by him after the opera's publication in 1888. This newly engraved edition by Clinton F. Nieweg and Nancy M. Bradburd has been meticulously researched from authoritative sources so that Borodin's masterful dances are available for the enjoyment of professionals and amateurs alike. This edition differs from the one by Richard W. Sargeant in that it is drawn directly from the opera and includes the parts for chorus, while Sargeant's is for orchestra alone. The large conductor's score and orchestral parts are also now available from Serenissima Music - the only authorized publisher of Nieweg's editions.

Scherzo & Notturno
The incidental music for Mendelsshon's A Midsummer Night's Dream, op. 61, contains truly immortal pages. Not only the famous Wedding March, but also the two compositions object of this new publication: the Scherzo, that is already part of the piano repertoire due to some magnificent transcriptions as the Rachmananinoff one that is used as the basis of this new one done by me, as well as the Nocturne (here once again the Moszkowski transcription for the piano served for my own version). These are pieces that I wanted to present in an organ version that could allow me, in addition to my colleagues, to perform them convincingly on the pipe instrument and then to make it accessible to all music lovers. While not a lover of the idea of transcribing a transcription, I thought that an exception was possible with Mendelsshon's two scores. The two already existing ones, the Rachmaninoff and the Moszkowski, prove to be very interesting under various aspects: the particular taste of the two composers, as well virtuoso performers, involved; the quite unusual musical creativity shown in the scores (the Notturno, by Moszkowski, shown from a certain moment a big distance from the orchestral score, but it is done with such a grace and wonderful taste that I decided to let it flows); the possibility of expanding the orchestral resources that these versions, quite in a "Black and White" mood to quote Charles Rosen ("Piano Notes: The Pianist's World", Free Press 2004), could resound in a new perspective.

The Music of Luigi Sagrini
Luigi Perret Sagrini (1809-1874) was a child prodigy on guitar, first performing at the age of eight in his hometown of Chamb矇ry, France. In Paris in 1825 he performed in concert with Liszt and published his first seven opus numbers for guitar when he was just sixteen years old. His opus 4 was dedicated to Luigi Legnani, and Legnani in turn dedicated his opus 9 and opus 32 to Sagrini. He performed continuously in Paris, northern France and Brussels before arriving in London in 1829. He continued publishing and performing for many years with London as his permanent home. Due to declining health, he stopped performing and devoted his time to teaching and publishing songs with guitar accompaniment. This volume includes all located editions Luigi Sagrini published from 1825 to 1850 for guitar solo, guitar duo, as well as guitar and piano. Sagrini published over 50 songs with guitar accompaniment, which are not included.

Partitas for Mandora
Partitas for Mandora: Volume 1 Arranged for Guitar; The Partita was originally the name for a single instrumental piece of music but in the Baroque Era, Partitas came to be a collection of musical pieces and was, more or less, a synonym for Suite. In addition to Brescianello, composers of the period included Johan Kuhnau, Christoph Graupner, and, of course, Johan Sebastian Bach. The Partita consisted of a series of movements all in the same key. Each of these was most likely derived from earlier dance forms but by the time of the Baroque Era they had left the ballroom far behind and had become abstract types of art music. The Partitas for Madora included here had between four and nine parts in each, often beginning with an Aria or an "Entr矇e". Other parts of the Partita might be an Allegro, Andante, Menuet, Rigaudon, Scherzo and Gigue Some of the pieces that follow are approachable to the well-practiced beginning or intermediate performer, others will push the player to the limits of his technique.

The Ternary Distinction of Film Music
The author addresses the problematic categorization of film music in terms of the reductive diegetic/nondiegetic binary distinction. Caillez Angeles reconstructs the binary to establish a new tripartite schema that subsumes ambiguous classifications of film music that remain sitting outside and within the binary regions. Following the law of parsimony, the schema proffers a new way to organize film music without destabilizing categorial logic.
