Music for strings - New PWM Hire Library Catalogues
2014-10-16
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The string orchestra is an exceptional instrument among the rich collection of musical tools. Its seemingly homogenous sound, seemingly (again!) limited availability of tone colour variation, seemingly (once again!) lesser means of expression than those available in a symphony orchestra can be both a curse and a challenge for composers and performers alike. For an inept artist it will definitely be the former. A real master, however, will be able to release an incredible palette of sonoristic value, a wide range of melodic, harmonic, rhythmic, dynamic and technical means and a countless amount of expressive nuance from this stringed sound organism. The string orchestra has yet another advantage – it is, in a sense, a pragmatical instrument: mobile, widely available, easily supported in the economical sense. Perhaps this is why string ensembles are becoming more and more popular.
Short musical forms 1'-10' - Music on hire
2014-10-16
Ladies and Gentlemen!
Putting together an artistically interesting concert programme is a big challenge. It requires not only an excellent knowledge of musical literature but most of all, a talent for showing the unobvious connections between the works presented and their creators as well as the ability to create a remarkable sound narration. However, besides the musical valour, what is often, most important for programme directors is the actual duration time of the composition. Short works are particularly sought after – concise in form, serving as an attractive opening or finale of a concert – works which correspond with those that are longer musical statements and are able to complement them or stand in opposition.
