Selected Late Works
Selected Late Works for Piano Solo, 1870-1886
By Franz Liszt
Edited by Nicholas Hopkins
Piano

Carl Fischer Music
PL1058  –  Score  –  $28.99
See sample pages (PDF)

Nicholas Hopkins has carefully selected and edited this collection of 30 late piano works by Franz Liszt, many of which remained unknown and unperformed into the late twentieth century. Also included is a scholarly essay which discusses the influences of life events on the composer’s work as well as analyses that demonstrate the musical originality in many of these pieces. The singularity and power of this music owe as much to its stylistic originality as to the external forces that influenced it.

Roskott Concerto
Concerto for Trumpet
By Carl Roskott
Trumpet and Piano

Balquhidder Music
BQ195  –  Score and Part  –  $24.95
See sample pages (PDF)
MP3 samples:   Allegro Cantabile  |  Andante  |  Allegro Spirito

Roskott has fashioned a full-length concerto for trumpet that features the instrument much as it appears in orchestral passages through the centuries. Balquhidder describes it as, "Ranging from the robust to the sublime, the concerto integrates the motor-rhythmic drive of the baroque composer, the steely angularity of Stravinsky and the quiet beauty of Mahler-esque transcendentalism." As further enhancement of the soloist, Roskott's score does not include orchestral trumpets, allowing the solo trumpet to shine through.

Sasha Takes a Train
Sasha Takes a Train
By Kim Portnoy

Concert Band

Carl Fischer Music
WBS1L  –  Large Score  –  $50.00
See sample pages (PDF)
Normal discount applies

Not new issued, this large full score (11" x 17") is available for this entry in our Wind Band Select series at normal discount. Sasha Takes a Train, commissioned by the USAF Band of Mid-America, was inspired by a memorable overnight train ride in Eastern Europe taken by the composer’s family. The music is intended to evoke the motion and sounds of the train and the noisy, scary, surprising and joyous character of the journey. Sasha refers to the composer’s then 13 month old son Alexander who managed to sleep through much of his first train adventure. Also available: Score and Parts (WBS1 - $165.00) and Full Score (WBS2F - $30.00).
Medium Funk Prelude
Medium Funk Prelude
By Paul Richards

Concert Band

Carl Fischer Music
WBS2L  –  Large Score  –  $30.00
See sample pages (PDF)
Normal discount applies

Not new issued, this large full score (11" x 17") is available for this entry in our Wind Band Select series at normal discount. Paul Richards, composition teacher at the University of Florida, works with diverse musical genres, and this is reflected in Medium Funk Prelude, a brief dance in which a small group of figures are transformed and tossed about in the ensemble. Its title was in fact inspired by tempo markings in a jazz fake book. An unconventional yet challenging and exciting work for the advanced high school or university ensemble. Also available: Score and Parts (WBS2 - $145.00) and Full Score (WBS2F - $25.00).
