The sonata in F-sharp Minor is a work of pure Romantic sensibility, while the sonata for piano in A Minor reveals Lilburn's very-sharply realised visual sense. There is a bracing, lyrical power to his 1949 sonata, the curve and grain of the music partaking of an impressive physical space. The second sonata, from 1956, provides an outstanding example of Lilburn's \"orchestration\" of piano colour and his sensitive balancing of tonal relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorks:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiano Sonata No. 4 in A Minor (1939)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiano Sonata No. 3 in F-sharp Minor (1939)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiano Sonata No. 5 (1949)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiano Sonata No. 6 (1956)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Promethean Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31710694735951,"sku":"PREPEL11","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/4d47c587cdb6ac2a36297a63033c0c62.jpg?v=1750590128"},{"product_id":"lilburn-symphony-no-1-promethean","title":"Lilburn: Symphony No. 1","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/zh\/collections\/douglas-lilburn\"\u003eDouglas Lilburn (1915-2001)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Score\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eOrchestra\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: Symphony No. 1 (1949)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISMN\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-barcode\"\u003e9790674522076\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e8.7\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e12.0\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\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\u003eLilburn's Symphony No. 1 (1949) is an essential work to study in the history of New Zealand orchestral music. Premiered in 1951 by the National Orchestra (now the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra), it was later established as a staple of orchestral repertoire with regular performances and recordings. This critical edition is the first computer-engraved publication of the work, and is the second of four volumes published in celebration of the centenary of Lilburn's birth in 1915.\nDouglas 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Promethean Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42354636881999,"sku":"PEL24","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/5d89f5f4bbf792d2aa8c8989d23be5ce.jpg?v=1753174708"},{"product_id":"lilburn-suite-for-strings-promethean","title":"Lilburn: Suite for Strings","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/zh\/collections\/douglas-lilburn\"\u003eDouglas Lilburn (1915-2001)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Score\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eString Ensemble\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: Suite for Strings (1941)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISMN\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-barcode\"\u003e9790674523233\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\"\u003e11.8\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\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\u003eHaving unaccountably fallen into neglect since its first one or two undocumented performances in the 1940s, the Suite for Strings can, with this publication, at last be assessed as the assured and confident work of a young composer finding his footing at home after study abroad.
