One of America's most historic moments was accompanied by this very unique work, composed especially for the occasion and performed by a quartet of America's finest artists – Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, Anthony McGill, and Gabriela Montero. Maestro Williams has rescored his monumental work into a dramatic movement for string orchestra – a stunning display of emotion, musical power and grace. An advanced level piece for mature groups.

Shostakovich's Symphony No. 8 was composed within a period of only a few weeks in 1943. Its unusual formal structure, with five very unevenly balanced movements, was not the only thing to alienate the critics at first: above all, the expected triumphant final movement was missing, which would have symbolised the turning point of the on-going war after the Battle of Stalingrad. While it was officially agreed that this symphony reflected the horror of war, the conductor Kurt Sanderling, a friend of Shostakovich, said that it was a representation of the “horror of an intellectual's life at that time”.
This volume is part of the revised and corrected new edition of all 15 symphonies by Dmitri Shostakovich published by Boosey & Hawkes and Sikorski as large format study scores for optimal legibility. All scores and the related orchestral parts have been newly computer typeset, and the orchestral parts are also compatible for performance use with scores in 'The New Collected Works of Dmitri Shostakovich'.

This suite was made by Prokofieff from the score of his third ballet for Diaghilev. Gerard McBurney comments that the ballet was “a highly entertaining product of that 1920s fashion for making art about the brave new world of machines and heavy industry and strong-muscled men engaged in hard labour. For good measure Prokofieff and his collaborators threw in a light-hearted sub-plot as well, about a sailor and his girl. The result is one of his most poster-paint scores, filled with bright and brittle imagery, breezy optimism and pulsing motor-rhythms.” When Prokofieff extracted the symphonic suite he cut and reordered the material and altered quite a few passages, to give the piece more of a symphonic feel and make it more effective in the concert hall. He ends the suite with the most exciting and original music in the score, an apotheosis of the life and sounds of an early 20th-century factory. He makes marvellous use of the orchestra to describe the humming and whirring of machinery, complete with spinning cogs and flywheels and the thunder of hammers and chains.

Composed in 2008-09, Graffiti is Lindberg's first work for chorus and orchestra, and it earned him the 2009 Finnish Composer Society's Award. The libretto for the half-hour work is compiled from ancient Latin graffiti discovered during excavations of Pompeii, the city destroyed by volcanic eruption in 79 CE. Some of the writings are specific to the time and place, such as publicity for gladiatorial combats, but many of the political denunciations, silly aphorisms, and sexual encounters either documented or solicited could, with the Roman names changed, be found in present-day settings. Lindberg assembled the brief texts without aiming to create a narrative or thematic scheme, his intention being to evoke “a grand choral and orchestral fresco of the life of the town.” A work of great energy and originality, and a significant addition to the repertoire of large-scale choral writing.

Modeled on Stravinsky's “Le Chant du Rossignol,” this 14-minute work for orchestra is an homage to the work and wit of Nicholas Slonimsky, the Russian eccentric literary genius who wrote The Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns (1947), from which Adams drew scales and harmonies.

One of the most notable movements from Dmitri Shostavovich is transformed into this superb new edition that is well within the reach of most orchestras. Stephen Bulla's arrangement is appropriately truncated, and carefully altered with key, range and technique, and orchestration considerations for today's school, festival and regional orchestras. (G. Schirmer, Inc.)

In June 1905, Ravel told a friend shortly before setting off on a long holiday: “I was terribly busy because of a piece for harp commissioned by the Érard company. I was able to finish it after a fashion, thanks to 8 days of dogged work and three sleepless nights.” But the piece itself shows nothing of the haste in which it was written. In fact, it seems as if Ravel knew how to explore all the musical possibilities of the harp in this brief, but highly striking piece. This septet with its unusual combination of instruments is a further enrichment of Henle's Urtext editions of Ravel's chamber music.
