The Harmony of the Soul: Sigfrid Karg-Elert's Letters "To His Australian Friends"
Sigfrid Karg-Elert was an important composer in the first decades of the 20th century. He was however largely ignored as a composer in his native Germany until the 1960s, but it was the English-speaking world which 'discovered' him in the early 1900s and realised that he was one of the most important organ-composers of his era. Arthur Nickson was a leading Australian-born musician, initially trained in Melbourne, and later in London. This book contains the letters from a bilateral correspondence, which started cautiously, formally, in 1913; it was interrupted by the Great War but recommenced in 1923. Nickson shared these letters with few others. Many had no idea of their content until the collection was published for the first time, solely in an English translation, in 1996. This is now the second edition of that same work, in which some translations are revised, more extensive annotations provided, and the entire original German text reproduced.

Music from the Hilltop
In Music from the Hilltop, Benjamin A. Kolodziej studies three significant academic musical figures to weave a narrative that not only details the role musical studies played in the development of Southern Methodist University but also relates a history of church music and pipe organs in Dallas, Texas. Bertha Stevens Cassidy (1876–1959), the first organ professor and the only woman on the faculty of the new university, established herself as a leader and veritable dean of the church music community, managing a career of significant performances and teaching. Her student and protégé, Dora Poteet Barclay (1903–1961), a Waco native, exhibited such musical potential that she was hired by S...
30 Studies for Flute Solo
Sigfrid Karg-Elert is no strange name to flautists. The Op. 107 was The 30 Caprices for Flute were written specifically for a friend of Karg-Elert's, a flautist bound for service in the war. These short exercises were designed to challenge linear one-staff thinking and in short, keep the friend from becoming bored. They are now a standard set of technical, dynamic, and phrasing exercises for young flute students all over the world. Re-issued from the original authoratitive plates of Steingräber Verlag, 1910, originally printed in Leipzig. Reprinted here by Edition Fleury 2013. As with all Edition Fleury publications, blank staff paper and section for teacher notes are present in the back of the book.
The Clarinet
The clarinet has a long and rich history as a solo, orchestral, and chamber musical instrument. In this broad-ranging account Eric Hoeprich, a performer, teacher, and expert on historical clarinets, explores its development, repertoire, and performance history. Looking at the antecedents of the clarinet, as well as such related instruments as the chalumeau, basset horn, alto clarinet, and bass clarinet, Hoeprich explains the use and development of the instrument in the Baroque age. The period from the late 1700s to Beethoven's early years is shown to have fostered ever wider distribution and use of the instrument, and a repertoire of increasing richness. The first half of the nineteenth century, a golden age for the clarinet, brought innovation in construction and great virtuosity in performance, while the following century and a half produced a surge in new works from many composers. The author also devotes a chapter to the role of the clarinet in bands, folk music, and jazz.

Shaw's Academical Dress of Great Britain and Ireland - Volume II: Non-degree-awarding Bodies
Academical dress has been worn by students and graduates for hundreds of years and even in these modern times shows no obvious sign of becoming obsolete. In addition to the distinctive robes granted by universities to their graduates, many other organisations, particularly musical colleges and societies, theological colleges and learned societies, specify hoods and gowns for their members, fellows and diplomates. This volume is a comprehensive guide to these robes, and a companion to the updated and expanded third edition of Dr George Shaw's classic work on the academical dress of British and Irish universities.
