A special edition to expand the repertoire of German carillon music: For decades, only the "Little Suite for Carillon" by Wilhelm Bender (1911-1944) was known. Thorough research by Dr. Ulrich Bender led to the discovery of many more pieces and in 2007 they were published for the first time in a series of three volumes by Diplom-Carilloneur Wilhelm Ritter. Now a revised and newly typeset edition is available, in which special attention was paid to player-friendly readability. It summarizes the three volumes: Compositions for Carillon, Choral Arrangements as well as Song Arrangements.

Mendelssohns Violinkonzert op. 64 ist ein großer Pfeiler in der Reihe von Violinkonzerten des 19. Jahrhunderts. Doch wie auch seine Zeitgenossen Beethoven, Brahms und Tschaikowsky, schreibt auch Mendelssohn wenig Musik für die Flöte als Soloinstrument. Jean Cassignol schafft es nun, das weltberühmte Finale aus dem Violinkonzert op. 64 für Querflöte bzw. Altblockflöte einzurichten, sodass es dem Original in nichts nachsteht und dennoch auf die Ansprüche der Flöte eingeht.

Online-Unterricht und vor allem online zusammen zu musizieren, das war vor ein paar Jahren noch nicht denkbar. Heute ist es zum Alltag geworden und so hat Roman Rothen genau für diesen Zweck 44 Gitarren-Duo-Stücke geschrieben: Erste und zweite Stimme spielen im Wechsel oder mit liegenden Begleitungen, sodass auch bei schlechterer Verbindung die Stücke ohne Stocken gespielt werden können. Die Kapitel sind im wachsenden Schwierigkeitsgrad vom „Soundcheck“ bis zu improvisatorischen Stücken aufgebaut, sodass das Album wunderbar in den Unterricht integriert werden kann. Den Abschluss bilden bekannte Volkslieder und Spirituals, die speziell für das Online-Musizieren arrangiert wurden.

Celleidoscope is a special composition for the 50th anniversary of the 12 cellists of the Berliner Philharmoniker. The music is based on the idea of a kaleidoscope, in which colourful glass stones fall together differently each time they are turned, creating new images. The principle is adopted in the 12 cello parts: The instruments are arranged in a semi-circle and the musical building blocks run through the parts and are constantly rearranged, resulting in a unique music-playing and listening experience.

Evaristo Felice Dall'Abaco (1675-1742) was a contemporary of Johann Sebastian Bach. He published 66 instrumental works in which influences from Italian concerto grosso, French and German Baroque music form an interesting musical combination. His 6 Concerti à più istrumenti - opera quinta - libro primo with 2 violins and viola as well as bassoon and organ as continuo instruments were published in 1717. In the present arrangement, this concerto was arranged for five recorders and transposed from D major to F major. Typical string passages have been carefully adapted to the possibilities of the recorder and can also be played by less experienced recorder players. This concerto is suitable for interpretation by a five-part recorder consort AATBGb as well as for a larger recorder ensemble. The continuo part can be played on a great bass recorder and/or a contrabass recorder.
