Ros Stephen

Iborn 19721

Ros Stephen is a violinist, a founder member of the popular tango ensemble Tango Siempre, and also a composer and arranger. Her Flute

Globetrotters album consists of original melodies in styles from different parts of the world. Brazil is represented at the beginning of the volume by'Guanabara Bay', in the tempo of the bossa nova. This is a style of Brazilian rnusic which became popular in the 1960s, a type of samba with

an intricate syncopated rhythm often running across a pair ofbars. This piece is named after the bay on which the Brazilian seaside city ofRio

de Janeiro stands, and was conceived as a song, lvith words (you can sing them to the flute part) beginning:

On a starlit night we walk on Guanabara Bay

while the ocean gently whispers on the sand. A samba band is playing; music takes our cares away.

i hope it never ends, the music never ends.

The Soundof Mtrsrcis one of the most successful musicals by the partnership of Richard Rodgers, who wrote the music, and Oscar Hammerstein II, who wrote the lyrics. It was _{first produced on Broadway in NewYork in 1959 and ran for more than three and a half years; it was made into}

a film in 1965. The story is based on a rea.l-life group of child singers, members of the von _{Trapp family, in Austria in the late 1930s, and their} escape _{from the Nazi army of occupation. The song'Edelweiss', in waltz time, is}

sung by the childrens father at a music festival. It is about a

flower that is native to the _{Austrian mountains, and so it is a demonstration of patriotic feelings. This arrangement presents the song r,r.ithout}

phrasing; players may wish to add some of their orvn.

Que je chatouitte ta fossette Let me tickle your dimpte; Second [ivre de danceries Second Book of Dances

The galliard was a lively triple-time dance, probably of north Italian origin: its name is derived from the ltalian word for'vigorousl The earliest

printed galliards are to be found in the publications of Pierre Attaingnant, a pioneering printer of music in Paris. This example comes from his second volume of Danceries, a collection of dance tunes published in I547. It is usually attributed to Attaingnant himsell but as far as is known

he was not a composer, and he was probably responsible for the piece only as publisher and, perhaps, editor.

A.lessandro Scarlatti was born on the Italian island of Sicily, and spent most of his career in the two mainland cities of Rome and Naples. He

was the father of the well-known keyboard composer Domenico Scarlatti. He composed more than 60 operas, setting the standard for the next

generation of operatic composers, about 600 cantatas (smaller-scale vocal pieces for concert performance) and a good deal of church music.

He also wrote for orchestra and for keyboard. Aithough the origin of this minuet is not entirely clear, in some sources it is identified as part of a toccata for organ or harpsichord.

copy in the north-west of England in iB17; other versions have found their way t6 north America. Alan Bullard's arrangement (commissioned

specially for this album) ends with a varied reprise of the first strain of the tune, including a stretched-out final phrase

February's Gentle

CaLendar

Richard Kershaw

Iborn 1 9461

Richard Kershaw was born in Leeds, in the north of England, and studied music at Oxford University. He taught for many years at Sherborne School in Dorset. A Flautist's Calendar is a collection of 12 pieces which depict the months of the year as described in a well-known children's poem by Sara Coleridge. This begins:

Januarybrings the snow,

Makes our feet and fingers glow.

February brings the rain,

Thaws the frozen lake again.

You might imagine the piano's introduction to'February's Gentle Rain' as representing the thawing lake and its offbeat accompaniment the falling rain, whilethe cantabile (singing) flute melody - later imitated by the piano _- is more a suggestion of the feelings aroused by the thawing ofthe ice.

Les feuittes mortes Autumn Leaves

The French songLes _feuilles morres, with music by the Hungarian-born French composer |oseph Kosma and tyrics by the poet Jacques Pr6vert,

was first heard in a 1946 film calledLesportes de lanuit.Thewords are nostalgic, recalling along-ago love affair. In 1947 theAmerican songwriter

Johnny Mercer vwote an English version under the title Autumn Leaues.The chorus begins: The falling leaves drift by the window,

The autumn leaves ofred and gold.

In this form, the song became a best-selling recording for several singers, and a lazz 'standard'

-

a well-known basis for improvisation. This arrangement by Peter Lawrance is reproduced from his bookWinner Scores,4// (published by BrassWind).
