The New Programme - Autumn and Winter 2010/11

To make it big in the world of music, it helps to start learning when you are very young. However, having a career in music is not the only way to make the most of your musical abilities – the simple joy of music can be just as enriching as it acts as a kind of accompaniment to life. An early start in music education provides our little ones with a caring and playful introduction to the world of melodies and rhythms.

We have a number of educational titles to enrich our Autumn programme, including the second volume of The Composer’s Handbook by Bruce Cole, a do-it-yourself approach to composing; Exploring Latin Piano by John Crawford and Tim Richards; and Sing Your Heart Out by Deborah Hudson – a book which teaches you that everyone is able to sing. The Schott Vocal Lounge is a new series aimed at the enthusiastic singer. In this first volume, the popular composer and arranger Carsten Gerlitz presents Jazz Ballads – 12 Classics for Voice and Piano. And also from the same Schott Lounge series we are pleased to present Pop Ballads for Flute and for Tenor Saxophone.

New publications from our partner-publishers Boosey & Hawkes and Belaieff include new choral music by Karl Jenkins and James MacMillan. The Jenkins Gloria was first performed with over 2,500 singers on 11th July this year at the Royal Albert Hall in London. And we have two new choral works by Sergej Tanejev, one of the most important members of the Moscow circle of composers at the turn of the century. These appear in the popular series Belle Epoque Russe.

We hope you enjoy the stimulating new Autumn programme from Schott Music, Boosey & Hawkes and our Russian publishing partner Belaieff.
