Lang Lang Piano Academy

Mastering the Piano with Lang LangSome words from Lang Lang:

“There are no shortcuts to becoming a pianist: good playing can only be achieved through good work. These books set out to give players the advice, resources and the desire to reach this goal. Over the course of eight units (per book), I explore key aspects of piano technique and offer advice and suggestions on the challenges encountered.

Each unit includes exercises, a study and two pieces to learn; I’ve selected some of the best-loved works from the great European tradition as well as some really extraordinary arrangements of world music that I love.”

Improve your aural!The very thought of aural, especially in exams, strikes fear into the heart of many young pianists and instrumentalists. But aural should not be an occasional optional extra – it’s something to be developing all the time, because having a good ear will help you to improve as a musician more than any other single musical skill.

Improve your aural! is designed to take the fear out of aural. Through fun listening activities, boxes to fill in and practice exercises, this workbook with CD focuses on all the elements of the aural test. And because all aspects of musical training are of course related, a range of interconnected activities are included to help develop the ear, including singing, clapping, playing your instrument, writing music down, improvising and composing.

Sing Musical TheatreThese books each feature fi fteen theatre songs in a range of styles, both classic and contemporary, with useful background and performance notes, handy singing tips and exercises, and backing track CD. Suitable for Singing and Musical Theatre exam candidates or for anyone looking for a new, practical compilation of the repertoire, all songs have been carefully selected to be appropriate for the grade.

The Language of SongThe Language of Song is a successful series by Heidi Pegler and Nicola-Jane Kemp. The ability to sing in foreign languages is a much-needed skill for singers, but few vocal training resources tackle this aspect comprehensively in one book. With this in mind, ABRSM examiners and professional singers Heidi and Nicola-Jane have written a graded series of songbooks that provide classic song repertoire, carefully selected to develop the vital skills required to sing in a foreign language.

An invaluable resource for all singing students and teachers, each song gives both a literal and poetic translation of each text, a detailed pronunciation guide using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and background information on the songs as well as technical and musical teaching points. The accompanying CD provides the text for each song spoken by a native speaker.

Not just ideal for those taking graded singing exams, these are invaluable for singers of any age exploring international song repertoire up to university and college level.

This collection focuses on songs in Italian, German and French, with some Spanish.

A rousing march (It’s a Long Way to Tipperary), a hopeful ballad (Keep the Home Fires Burning), and a wistfully romantic song (If You were the Only Girl in the World), offer glimpses into the hearts and minds of those who lived during the ‘Great War’ – and are testimony to the powerful role of music in times of trouble.

Choral Christmas

Sure of the Sky, Sure of the Sun – Des Himmels sicher, der Sonne sicherSetting both English and German texts, this is a haunting and moving refl ection on the futility of war. The 5-minute piece for SATB choir and brass was premiered at one of the UK’s three main World War I centenary commemoration events on 4 August 2014. The texts are ‘May, 1915’ by Charlotte Mew (1869–1928), and ‘To a Missing Friend’ by Goldfeld, a German Jewish soldier killed in action: the poem was discovered by Jewish military historian, Peter C Appelbaum. Available here for SATB and piano accompaniment, the optional alternative brass parts are available from the Faber Music Hire Library ([email protected])

WWI Commemoration

To what God shall we chant our songs of battle? This was commissioned by James O’Donnell and Westminster Abbey for a service of solemn commemoration on 4 August 2014 marking the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War.

Stark and gritty yet always rooted in tonality, Matthews’ expressive harmonies bring a potent immediacy to the bitter, disillusioned words of war poet Harold Monro and the two lyrical solos for soprano and tenor which set passages from the Book of Lamentations and St Luke’s Gospel. Beginning with a violent and impassioned energy, this anthem ultimately offers little consolation. In the words of James O’Donnell it ‘leaves you standing on the edge of an abyss’ – its impetus petering out in a series of hushed, troubled questions.
