In the course of numerous appearances and performances as a composer, pianist and conductor in Europe, Asia and the USA, Barcaba has established an international reputation. Certain works of his have received their first performance during the Konzerte des Neuen Künstlerforums concert series in Vienna. As professor at the music university in Vienna he is first and foremost an advocate of musical interpretation after Heinrich Schenker – a method which, through in-depth artistic and analytical observation aims at greater authenticity in its renditions of, for the most part, classical works. For many years he has taught piano and coached several young chamber music groups in the early stages of their career. As a pianist and teacher he has attended influential international festivals such as Colmar (France), Seoul (Korea), New York, Ottawa, Groningen (the Netherlands), Musikalisches Sommerfestival in Ostfriesland, Schleswig Holstein, and Vienna. Peter Barcaba’s music is frequently performed; his opus list includes works for orchestra such as the “Klezmer-Serenade”, “Rhapsodie”; sacred works including “Abendmal”; a piano concerto, saxophone concerto, string quartets, piano trios, works for violin and piano, a cello sonata, solo piano pieces and a sonata for two pianos, in addition to several song cycles, including a cycle of Passion songs, “Passionsgesänge”.

ARRANGEMENTS: MUSIC FROM FITZWILLIAM VIRGINA BOOK The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book is the most important source of keyboard music from the periods in English history called the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods. It includes music dating from appr. 1560 to 1610 by composers like John Bull, William Byrd, Orlando Gibbons, Giles Farnaby, Peter Phillips, music by unknown composers and some from the continent of Europe. “Virginal” was a small keyboard instrument of the harpsichord (Cembalo) family. It was popular in Northern Europa and Italy in the late Medieval and Renaissance periods. The first mention of a virginal in written document is dated around 1460 and in England about 1530 when King Henry VIII purchased first such instrument for his court. The original manuscript is in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England (thereby its name), and the first modern edition was printed in 1899 by Breitkopf & Härtel and edited by J. A. Fuller Maitland and W. Barclay Squire. A complete republication in two volumes are available from Dover Publication.

ARR. PETER KLEMKE

Arrangements of Joplin, Scott (1868-1917): Scott Joplin is considered to be the first great Afro-American composer. He grew up in the town of Texarkana on the Texas-Arkansas border. He had few early educational opportunities, but a German immigrant musician, Julius Weiss, taught the young Joplin and played a major role in forming the young student. It is also considered undisputed that Joplin created a place for himself as an important contributor in both serious music and as an innovator in the development of piano jazz, - and in fact in jazz as a whole. Joplin’s syncopated musical style found expression in the popular idiom of piano ragtime. Many contemporary serious composers were influenced by Joplin, and no doubt most of popular music composers later. Peter Klemke has selected a number of Joplin’s enduring classics, and arranged them for a quartet of mallet instruments. ARR. PETER KLEMKE • THE CASCADES A piano rag composed 1904.

Markus Leoson was born 1970 in Linköping, Sweden. He demonstrated an early interest in, and aptitude for percussion. He was admitted to the Royal College of Music in Stockholm at the tender age of 15, and graduated four years later. In 1990 he was taken on as a percussionist with the Royal Swedish Opera Orchestra, and became solo timpanist in 1993. Nowadays he is mainly a much sought-after solo percussionist, although he also works as a teacher, giving frequent master classes at music colleges and festivals. In addition to the Swedish soloist prize that he was awarded in 1995, he has won several international music competitions. He has performed as a soloist on radio and TV, as well as with many symphony orchestras throughout Europe. His first solo CD Percussion was released in 1996, and his two latest Colludo and Malletiana in 2006. As a composer he has mainly written works for his own use. However the quality of his writing deserves a broader exposure, and Norsk Musikforlag A/S is now presenting his first three published works:

MARIC , DAVE (Great Britain)

other contemporary music ensemble (including the London Sinfonietta), During this period he became fully immersed in a branch of contemporary classical music that was as much informed by pop music and jazz as it was by the history of western art music.

Since 1996 Schmitt has focused on percussion music, and has created some of the most popular marimba pieces on the market, like “Ghanaia”, “Sechs Miniaturen”, “Corrido” and “Nocturne” to name a few. His great interest in education shows Clearly in his threevolume collection “Young and Sweet (Suite)”, which now are available with a CD in each volume.

Pascal Schumacher has been described as a “Goldsmith” in his art, a boundary-pushing musician, a resourceful improviser and an imaginative composer. Keen to explore the links that exist between many musical genres, it is difficult to pigeon–hole his talent, his taste or his musical influences. One thing is certain: he is a Vibraphone player with a unique aptitude and sensitivity who manages to inject panache and flamboyance into every performance. His flair for improvisation is married to a lucid inventiveness which together create an original sound as visionary as it is melodic. As a physical performer, he is skilful, farreaching and theatrical without being pretentious, making his performances inclusive and interesting to watch. • WINDFALL CONCERTO For Vibraphone and Orchestra Study score (N.M.O. 13576A) Orchestral parts available on hire

Antonio Lucio Vivaldi was an talian composer and priest, nicknamed Il Prete Rosso (The Red Priest) born and raised in Venice, at that time a Republic. He was also a famous virtuoso violinist. Through his work as maestro di violino and teacher from 1703, Vivaldi wrote much of his music, including operas and concertos. In 1705 his first works, Opus 1 was published and more of his works were spread around Europe. His most famous work, The Four Seasons, was largely unknown in its original form and the resurrection of Vivaldi’s unpublished works in the 20th century made Vivaldi a household name for classical music ensembles and music lovers.

Our aim is to provide students with good quality material to play from the vast amount of music available from previous historic periods. Our conviction is that playing music from the past alongside music of our time strengthens the understanding of music generally, and gives students a broader perspective on how music has developed through time, and why and how music in our time has been influenced by great composers and great music of the past. This is why we publish arrangements of music by Johann Sebastian Bach., Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Edvard Grieg, Maurice THE MUSIC HISTORIC LIBRARY Ravel and others alongside contemporary composers. Some arrangements are easy, - others more difficult. Welcome to the “percussion music” of the Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Impressionist eras! We hope you enjoy it!
