The first piece Full Fathom Five, is a version of the Shakespeare song setting made for Prospero's Books (1990). The second 'Angelfish Decay', is an arrangement of an arrangement: the music for the speeded up time lapse decaying animal sequences in A Zed And Two Noughts (1985) was written for two violins and a harpsichord. This was subsequently 'reduced' to a violin solo for Zoo Caprices (1986). For 'On The Fiddle' a piano part has been added. The final piece 'Miserere Paraphrase', was written for use in The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover (1989), and is a transcription of Nyman's setting of the 'Miserere' text (Psalm 51) sung in the film by a boy soprano and mixed chorus.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorks:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Fathom Five\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngelfish Decay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/nyman-miserere-paraphrase\"\u003eMiserere Paraphrase\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chester Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32832866246,"sku":"CH61332","price":47.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/1cb587cd38afd37f6325d10a5e00f1a1.jpg?v=1765727287"},{"product_id":"the-violin-a-collection-chester","title":"The Violin - A Collection","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposers\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/john-tavener\"\u003eJohn Tavener (1944-2013)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/peter-maxwell-davies\"\u003ePeter Maxwell Davies (1934-2016)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/judith-weir\"\u003eJudith Weir (1954-)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/manuel-de-falla\"\u003eManuel de Falla (1876-1946)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/richard-rodney-bennett\"\u003eRichard Rodney Bennett (1936-2012)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/philip-glass\"\u003ePhilip Glass (1937-)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/malcolm-arnold\"\u003eMalcolm Arnold (1921-2006)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/michael-nyman\"\u003eMichael Nyman (1944-)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/francis-poulenc\"\u003eFrancis Poulenc (1899-1963)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/english-traditional\"\u003eEnglish Traditional\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/witold-lutosawski\"\u003eWitold Lutosławski (1913-1994)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/brian-chapple\"\u003eBrian Chapple (1945-)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/kaija-saariaho\"\u003eKaija Saariaho (1952-2023)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/joby-talbot\"\u003eJoby Talbot (1971-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation (this edition)\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"edition-instrumentation\"\u003ePiano, Violin\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eOriginally for\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003ePiano, Violin, Orchestra\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-barcode\"\u003e9781844499533\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e9.1\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e11.9\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 104\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn February 2005, the Music Sales Group presented a concert of violin music at the Wigmore Hall in London to launch the Wigmore Hall New Music Fund, set up to promote the commissioning and performance of new works for the important international recital venue. This title contains works from that performance by fourteen of the very best contemporary composers, including Philip Glass, Kaija Saariaho and Peter Maxwell Davies, as well as world premieres from Joby Talbot, Craig Armstrong, John Tavener and Judith Weir. The pieces in this book have been specially selected for their accessibility, making this folio suitable for players of a wide range of abilities from elementary level (1st to 3rd position only) to shorter but more challenging, adventurous and unusual works. The set as a whole represents the large amount of variety and character alive in today's top-level compositions. An excellent repertoire source that is fresh, exciting and highly accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorks:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional: My love is like a red, red rose (arr.

Quoting Graham Ashton: Michael Nyman wrote Flugel and Piano for me during a period when I felt his approach to the writing and recording of his music was changing quite considerably. I had given him very few guidelines as I did not want to restrict his writing. I knew the result would be a difficult piece, as Michael had often said he likes to hear the performer 'fighting' the instrument. Flugel and Piano is a fight for a couple of reasons: firstly, the flugel does not like being played in the key of in D-sharp Minor, especially with a Trombone 'bucket mute' - unfortunately, this was all that I could find to fit over the larger Flugel bell; secondly, the Flugel enjoys being-flat at the top register, making top Cs and Ds a nightmare!
