Bach, JS :: Air For The G String
Air For The G String
Bach, JSMusicians Publications presents J.S. Bach s Air For The G String arranged for woodwind trio by Bill Holcombe and Bill Holcombe Jr. Scored for flute, oboe or clarinet, and bassoon or bass clarinet, this arrangement is intermediate in difficulty and 3:35 in duration. What s interesting about this edition, is that it contains two versions of the work: one in the original key of D major and another in F major.
Air is a piece from Bach s Third Orchestral Suite in D Major, BWV 1068. The Third Suite may be the most famous of the four on account of its meltingly beautiful Air. One of the most popular and arranged pieces of all time, it achieved special notoriety through August Wilhelmj s version for the violin G string (1871). The Air s binary form two halves, each repeated and its stepping bass overlaid with a long, sustained melodic line are standard Baroque procedures, but its poignant effect transcends all formulas. - Jane Vial Jaffe

Bach, JS :: Bouree
Bouree
Bach, JSMusicians Publications presents J.S. Bach s Bouree from his Six Suites for Viola da Gamba, No. 3. Scored for flute, oboe, and clarinet, this arrangement also includes an optional clarinet part to replace the oboe if necessary. This arrangement is advanced in difficulty.
Bach s sense of sonic resonance is operating at a high level, as well, in the massive build-up of sound in the Prelude of the Suite No. 3 in C major, but this one puts you through the ringer. It features the same rocking pattern of wide-stretching broken chords, made all the more sonorous by the stabilizing presence of the low G used as a pedal tone beneath increasingly dissonance harmonies striving above it. - Donald G. Gislason, 2016.

Bach was not considered a saint by his students and contemporaries in Leipzig. However, he was obviously sincere when he write, 'The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul. If heed is not paid to this, it is not true music. With his demanding schedule, Bach must have felt a need for spiritual assistance very often. In addition to many other responsibilities, he composed (and taught) over 250 cantatas in five yearly sets one for each Sunday of the year. Although characteristic of his genius, Bach's cantatas were considered old fashioned by his composer sons and many other musicians. Only one was published during his lifetime: his widow sold a large bundle of manuscripts for about 40 dollars.
This still-popular chorale, from a melody by Johan Schop (1590-1664), occurs at the close of Bach's 'Cantata No. 147 Be Thou Cheerful, O My Spirit . He used the same melody in Nos. 233 and 365 of his four-part chorales.

Berlioz, H :: Theme from Roman Carnival
Theme from Roman Carnival
Berlioz, HMusicians Publications presents Hector Berlioz s Theme from Roman Carnival' arranged for flexible woodwind trio by Carson Rothrock. Scored for flute, oboe or English horn, and clarinet, this arrangement also includes an optional clarinet part to replace the oboe or English horn if necessary. This arrangement is advanced in difficulty.
The Roman Carnival Overture' is one of Hector Berlioz most popular pieces. It owes its existence to the utter failure of an opera now generally considered a masterpiece. Actually, Berlioz musical life suffered a number of odd twists and turns before he ever wrote the opera. At his parents insistence, Berlioz began to study medicine in 1821, and hated it. He spent more time and energy studying and listening to music, and even composed a few pieces. In 1826, he was admitted to the Paris Conservatory. There, he studied composition with Jean-Francois Le Sueur and counterpoint with Anton Reicha. He immediately began to apply for France s most prestigious musical award, the Prix de Rome. On his fourth attempt, in 1830, he won by submitting a cantata that followed all the academic rules. It contained nothing of his own musical personality. He had already composed the Symphonie fantastique , which established his international reputation.

Blank, A :: Four Bagatelles
Four Bagatelles
Blank, A
Four Bagatelles for flute, clarinet, and bassoon is a work that explores different approaches to 3-part writing. A four-note figure dominates the first movement. Surrounding and departing from this figure are melodic elements that show off the characteristics of each instrument. The second Bagatelle stresses textures in which the three instruments play similar rhythms and briefly separate. The third Bagatelle is meditative and darker in color. The final movement is energetic with mixtures of rhythmic figures.

Boismortier, JB :: Sonata Op. 34, No. 2
Sonata Op. 34, No. 2
Boismortier, JB
Sonata Op. 34 No. 2, for flute, oboe, clarinet or 2nd oboe, and piano. This is a charming multi-movement work from the Baroque period. Very little repertoire is available for this combination (three wind instruments with piano ) and this piece combines the timbres effectively. A good ensemble piece for high school solo and ensemble contests.
