Douglas Lilburn Complete Piano Edition: Volume 1 & 2 For teachers, it will be a gold mine Rod Biss, NZ Listener Douglas Lilburn occupies a pre-eminent position in New Zealand music, with a legacy extending well beyond his compositional output. As a composer, teacher and mentor he presided in innumerable ways over the artistic growth of New Zealand from 1940 onwards. From the early works redolent of the influence of Sibelius and Vaughan Williams, to the electro-acoustic pieces of his later years, his works have been instrumental in establishing a genuine vernacular in New Zealand classical music. In 2005 Trust Records launched the first volume in the award-winning recording series showcasing all of Lilburn’s piano music receiving ‘Best Classical Album’ in the 2005 Recording Industry of New Zealand Music Awards and in the same year, Gramophone magazine acclaimed that ‘[These] performances and recordings are unobtrusively excellent.’ “Now one can not only listen to the music but also follow it on the page. Even more important is that this music is for anyone who plays the piano; in no way was it intended for professionals alone. Lilburn was a good pianist but he had no interest in unnecessary virtuosity or pianistic display.” Rod Biss, NZ Listener

It was originally written for viola and piano and later was adapted for both alto saxophone and clarinet. The work was written to highlight the lyrical qualities of the solo instrument with a piano accompaniment. As such, Meditation provides an opportunity for the soloist to shine through individual expression making it perfect for solo recitals and competitions. Gareth Farr: Three Little Pieces for Eve (Percussion and Piano) PE095 | Performance Set | $45.00 (6 mins) “Serious fun� is the best way to describe this lively and entertaining set of three contrasting pieces. Gareth Farr wrote Three Pieces for Eve (2006) for the occasion of a friend’s birthday. It showcases Farr’s comic wit and clever writing. The percussionist uses household objects including bottles, flowerpots, mixing bowls and a triangle. Gareth Farr: Waipoua for Clarinet and Piano (5 mins) PE021 | Performance Set | $41.00 Waipoua (1994) is an excellent work for advanced secondary clarinet students who want to perform a lyrical solo work with piano accompaniment. Inspired by the composer’s visit to a state forest park, the work has a meditative quality that allows the performer to explore individual expression.

John Psathas: Fragment (3 mins) PE076 | Vibraphone and Piano | $25.00 PE089 | Vibraphone and Marimba | $32.00 PE097 | Firestarters 4 | Piano Duet | $64.00 Fragment (2001) was originally composed as a tribute, on the occasion of his retirement, to the composer’s first piano teacher.

Larry Pruden: Flight of the Albatross (Violin and Piano) PEP12 | Performance set | $34.00 Larry Pruden’s Flight of the Albatross (1980) is an excellent work for secondary students and above looking to perform lyrical contemporary music.

Educational Resources 2014 Chamber Music works ideal for high school students These works and selected movements meet the 2014 Chamber Music New Zealand Contest criteria Larry Pruden: String Trio PEP11 | Performance set | $77.00 I. Overture (4 mins) II. Serenade (6:50 mins) III. Scherzo (6:10 mins) IV. Epilogue, (7:15 mins) Pruden’s String Trio (1953-55) testifies to the influence of British composer Benjamin Frankel had on several New Zealand composers. Written by Pruden while he studied under Frankel, at the Guildhall School of Music, London in the early 1950s, this work lends itself to influences of Eastern Europe and Bela Bartók. This edition, based on the painstakingly edited version presented in Pruden’s Collected Edition, is now presented as a performance set. While it was originally written for professional musicians, this work is suitable for advanced chamber music students. Gareth Farr: Volume Pig (Percussion Quartet) (11:30 mins) PE010S | Score | $51.00 PE010P | Parts | $69.00 A signature work of STRIKE PERCUSSION, Volume Pig (1992) is a crowd favourite and is now featuring in the repertory of talented student groups. “With Farr’s Volume Pig we experienced intricate textures of quadraphonic drumming interspersed with wild shrieks, grunts and howls. Just when we thought we knew what was coming next, the wild volume dropped to a barely audible whisper. Clever theatre—the audience were kept guessing until the last moment.” Hawkes Bay Today Gareth Farr: Little Sea Gongs (Percussion Quartet) (3 mins) PE079S | Score | $34.00 PE079P | Parts | $52.00 Little Sea Gongs (1997) is a miniature companion-piece to From the Depths Sound the Great Sea Gongs, Farr’s major work composed for the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra which incorporates the visual spectacle of three percussionists playing a line of ten roto toms. The drumming style is very much inspired by Rarotongan log drumming and is fast, furious and very loud.

Gareth Farr: Dua Lagu (Piano Six Hands) (8 mins) PE097 | Firestarters 4 | Score | $64.00 Dua Lagu (1993) is the perfect recital work for three pianists wishing to perform together at one piano. Inspired by the exotic sounds of Indonesian gamelan, the work showcases the performer’s ensemble skills, sense of pulse and rhythmic unity. The beauty of this work is the unique blend of traditional gamelan music with the full sound of the piano, performed by the might of six hands at one keyboard. Leonie Holmes: A Tedious Brief Scene: Bottom’s Dance (Two Pianos, Eight Hands) (6:15 mins) UME05S | Score | $57.00 UME05P | Performance Set | $54.00 A Tedious Brief Scene: Bottom’s Dance (2011) is a fine example of Holmes‘ work from her career as a composer and educator for over 25 years. Holmes was inspired to depict the character Bottom from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream in writing this lighthearted work. It is highly engaging and energetic with elements of minimalist techniques of layered melodic ostinati, and jazzinfluenced and non-tonal harmony. It is suitable for performance by secondary students of approximately Grade VIII and above (ABRSM / Trinity). John Psathas: Island Songs (Piano Trio) (13 mins) PE075 | Performance Set | $62.00 This arrangement of Island Songs (1996) for piano trio (originally written for clarinet, cello and piano) is perfect for chamber musicians looking to perform a high-energy work inspired by Greek dance. It is one of Psathas‘ most performed works with numerous presentations and broadcasts worldwide. The work is exuberant and unfailingly infectious with its motoric rhythms and fast melodic gestures. It gives performers an opportunity to demonstrate their individual and combined talents.

Choral Music for New Zealand School Choirs Lyell Cresswell: The Belly of the Whale (Choir) SSAATTBB, (3:45 mins) English PE024S | Score | NZ$28.75 PE024P | Choral part | NZ$11.50 (min. order 8) Showcase the talents of your choir with The Belly of the Whale (1997), a dramatic setting for 8-part unaccompanied choir of a fervent spiritual. The figures of Jonah, Daniel and Noah, featuring in the text, symbolise

freedom and deliverance from slavery. “Well within the technical compass of many amateur as well as semiprofessional choirs, this could be a rewarding repertoire choice in either a concert setting or a church context.” The Singer, June/July 2005

Educational Resources 2014 Gareth Farr: Tangi te Kawekawea (Choir and Percussion) SATB / 3 percussionists, (2:30 mins) Maori PE061S | Score and percussion parts | NZ$34.50 PE061C | Choral part | NZ$11.50 (min. order 4) Excite your choir with Farr’s catchy rhythms in Tangi te Kawekawea (1998), a simple and very effective 4-part setting of a Maori planting spell. The choir’s delivery is heightened by the addition of parts for three percussionists. Gareth Farr: Tirohia Atu Nei (Choir and Percussion, SSAATTBB / 2 percussionists, (3:30 mins) Maori PE060S | Score and percussion parts | NZ$34.50 PE060C | Choral part | NZ$11.50 (min. order 8) Farr’s Tirohia Atu Nei (2000) is excellent for choirs wanting to enhance their performance with percussion. An interesting feature of the work is the choir’s use of crotales, which creates an evocative shimmering sound. The work is a new setting of an old Maori waiata about Matariki, which makes it fantastic for highlighting the Maori new year and culture in concert. Helen Fisher: Pounamu (Choir and Flute) SSAATB / flute, (9:00 mins) Maori PE006S | Score and flute part | NZ$28.75 PE006C | Choral part | NZ$11.50 (min. order 6) Fisher’s Pounamu (1989) is a favourite New Zealand choral work inspired by the land, sea and Maori culture. The choir is complemented with a haunting flute part. It is excellent for learning about Maori language, as the Maori vowel

sounds are explored and a waiata emerges. “Pounamu is an attractive short piece that manages to synthesise convincingly aspects of our Western and Maori musical traditions.” Canzona, 1997 Christos Hatzis: Paranymphus Adiens (Treble Choir and Cello) SS / cello (5:15 mins) Latin PE114S | Score and cello part | NZ$33.35 PE114C | Choral part | NZ$4.60 (min. order 8) Paranymphus Adiens (2003) is the perfect work for choirs seeking to augment their performances with a solo cellist. Hatzis arranged the treble voice parts of a medieval plainsong chant and enhanced it with an original cello part. The virtuosic cello part complements the voices with melismatic lines, pitch bends and ornamentations. The beauty of this work is the unique blend of new and old music, which makes it a perfect fit for any choir programme. John Psathas: Baw My Barne (Solo Voices or Choir) SSAATTBB, (3:45 mins) Mediaeval English PE059S | Score | NZ$28.75 PE059C | Choral part | NZ$11.50 (min. order 8) Psathas’ Baw My Barne (1995) is a new setting of a mediaeval lullaby that is superb for featuring all sections of the choir. It suits both small and large choirs as it can be performed by a group of 8 solo voices or by a larger choir with a solo soprano. This is a special work that combines the antiquity of Middle English with the modern edge of Psathas’ music.

Firestarters Series: Piano Music for Beginners FIRESTARTERS 4 Six Piano Recital Pieces for many hands and one piano (duet and 6-hands) ‘This is an imaginative collection of pieces encompassing a variety of styles and sonorities which will be enjoyed by budding pianists and professionals alike. Students will love the romantic Eternity’s Heartbeat by Christos Hatzis, Katy Abbott’s descriptive Sapphire Shimmer, Silica Slide and the catchy Balinese rhythms of Gareth Farr’s Dua Lagu. The evocative Fragments by John Psathas will be approachable for most students from Grade VI onwards while the more complex rhythmic structures of Chris Gendall’s Great and Small and Gao Ping’s Valley Echoes bring challenges more suitable for pianists of Grade VII and above.’ RAE DE LISLE, NEW ZEALAND Firestarters 4 is a collection of six recital pieces for piano by composers from Australia, Canada and New Zealand, suitable for performers of approximately Grade VI to Diploma-level ability.
