Schumann in Endenich. (Kammermusik Nr. 2). By Wilhelm Killmayer. For piano, electronic organ (harmonium) and percussion (5 players). This edition: ED 6431. Drums/Percussion. Score (also performance score). Composed 1972. 12 pages. Duration 8 minutes. Published by Schott Music (SD.49006313). ISBN 9790001068468. Wilhelm Killmayer stellt den einzelnen Ton an den Beginn dieser Komposition. Doch wahrend Robert Schumann darin den Ausgangspunkt seiner romantischen Musik fand, unterbindet Killmayer die Entwicklung poetischer Melodien. Die Art und Weise, wie Killmayer sich fur die Beschrankung auf einen sehr begrenzten Tonraum entschieden hat, erinnert an Schumanns Beschrankung auf die Heilanstalt Endenich. Mit sich wiederholenden Sekundschritten verdeutlicht der Klavierpart die Enge im Leben des erkrankten Komponisten. Auch die Einwurfe von Vibraphon, Bongo und Conga konnen diese Grenze letztlich nicht uberwinden. So bleibt nur die Flucht ins Innere. Und wenn sich im Dialog zwischen Klavier und Glockenspiel raffinierte Klangfarben offenbaren, wird Schumann in Endenich zur Reise in das Bewusstsein eines ratselhaften Mitmenschen.

By way of natural chord voicings and intuitive playing patterns, Jason Baker has done a masterful job of capturing th. Medium. Score. 8 pages. Duration 5'00". Published by Tapspace Publications (TA.TSPCS-09). Originally written for solo guitar, Un Dia de Noviembre is a marimba transcription of a very popular piece by Cuban composer Leo Brouwer. It's performed with four mallets on a 4.5 (low E) octave marimba. This piece has a lyrical and simplistic beauty which will require a mature sense of musical phrasing from the performer. The accompaniment alternates between the right and left hands throughout and occasionally requires one-handed rolls from each hand at different points. By way of natural chord voicings and intuitive playing patterns, Jason Baker has done a masterful job of capturing the heart of the original work through the marimba's expressive range.

Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumised triumph. Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil. From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty. Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions. Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet with other delights, who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel. How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places, I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very kind hast thou been to me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women. How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!"David's lament on the deaths of Saul and Jonathan (Baritone or Tenor and String Quartet) ; Score and Parts.
