| 494-02865 Three Argentinian Pieces - Adriana Isabel Figueroa Mañas ($24.95) |
| for Violin & Cello | A sparkling duet for violin and cello inspired by the music and landscape of Argentina. The final movement of the work is in the popular tango style so closely associated with Argentina. |
| 490-01160 Romp - Lorin Alexander ($29.95) |
| for Two Pianos, Four Hands | A mesmerizing and compelling work, Romp has the effect of luring the listener in with the playfulness implied in its title only to take us on a brief intense and driving excursion. Melodic echoes of Milhaud and Copland play against Alexander’s subtle and surprising rhythms. |
| 490-01159 Awakening - Meira Warshauer ($19.95) |
| for solo piano | This powerful work for solo piano was written at the height of the US-Soviet arms race. The piece moves from agitation, to peaceful spaciousness and finally to a celebration of the "trimuph of good." |
| 392-01202 Psalm of Thanksgiving - Karen E. Christianson ($1.95) |
| for SA Chorus & Piano | The first in our series, Voices of Tomorrow, this choral work was written by a talented fourth grader. A great choice for the schools and churches with a thanksgiving theme! |
| 494-02860 Three Viola Transcriptions - Various ($21.95) |
| for Viola and Piano | This publication includes three interesting selections originally written for cello transcribed here for viola by the prolific string editor, Susan Pickett. All three works date from the late 1800s or very early 1900s and share a romantic style. |
| 494-02858 Tres Piezas en clave de Tango - Adriana Isabel Figueroa Mañas ($21.95) |
| for Cello & Piano | This charming duet between the cello and piano combines traits of traditional chamber-music style with the music of the Tango. The contemporary colors and rhythms give this composition a distinctly Argentinian flavor. |
| 494-02859 Prelude and Fugue - Marion Bauer ($21.95) |
| for Flute and Piano | Never before published, this piece by Washington State composer, Marion Bauer (1882-1955), combines aspects of impressionism and more modern elements. The edition contains extensive program notes and critical notes. |
| 494-02850 Sonate, Op. 17 - Luise Le Beau ($24.95) |
| for Cello and Piano | The Sonate, Opus 17, for cello and piano was first published around 1878, when Le Beau was 28 years old. Classical in formal structure, but written with romantic, soaring melodies and a rhythmically propelling piano part that borders on virtuosic. This edition includes a reprint of the original piano score and a newly engraved cello/viola part. |
| 494-02851 Sonate, Op. 17 - Luise Le Beau ($24.95) |
| for Cello and Piano (transcribed for Viola) | The Sonate, Opus 17, for cello and piano was first published around 1878, when Le Beau was 28 years old. She adheres to classical formal structures; her romantic impulses are soaring melodies, key changes that are occasionally stark, and a rhythmically propelling piano part that borders on virtuosic. This edition includes a reprint of the original piano score and a newly engraved cello/viola part. |
| 491-00626 A Time to Blossom - Meira Warshauer ($29.95) |
| for Soprano/Mezzo Soprano, Flute, Cello & Piano (score and parts included) | A Time to Blossom sets the poetry of Hildegard of Bingen, Emily Dickinson and Hannah Senesh. These women of divergent times and traditions share an appreciation of the divine unity at all levels of being. The work was commissioned by the Humanities Department of the University of South Carolina and first performed there in 1990. |
