Jan Krzywicki's FIVE LYRICS for Flute and Piano
FIVE LYRICS is a suite of short pieces based on haiku-like poems by W. S. Merwin and authentic haiku by the great Japanese poet Basho. Each movement focuses on a bird(s) in nature at a particular time of day, the succession creating a dawn-to-moonlight cycle. Jeffrey Khaner's recording is featured on the all-Krzywicki "Alchemy" CD on Albany Records. Audio clips at Amazon and iTunes best illustrate the character of each movement (with downloads sold individually.)

William Presser's RONDO for Piccolo and Piano newly-available in beautifully engraved edition
A standard in the piccolo repertoire for decades, previously in the composer's handwriting, William Presser's RONDO is newly-available in a beautifully engraved edition. The perky 3-minute RONDO is based on a folk-like catchy theme that serves as a jumping-off point for fiery little episodes. The work has served as an NFA contest piece recently, and has been recorded by Laurence Trott on his "From Rags to Riches" CD. An audio clip is available on the Flute page of the Tritone-Tenuto website.

New saxophone sonata by Matt Van Brink
The sparklingly fun-yet-deep composer Matt Van Brink has given us a stunning new sonata for alto saxophone and piano, full of Van Brink's teasing wit, rhythms inspired by neo-classicism and neo-minimalism, and soaring lyricism that is very gratifying for saxophonists and pianists. Recorded on Albany Records by Noah Getz. More about this work and the composer at www.mattvanbrink.com
July 2010
Trilogy of Flute/Clarinet duets by Daniel Dorff now available
OLD NEW BORROWED BLUE is the aptly-titled name of Tenuto's new anthology of flute/clarinet duets by Daniel Dorff. The centerpiece of the collection is a new 7-minute duet titled THREE LITTLE WALTZES, built with the same sparkle and drive as Dorff's earlier works for this instrumental pairing. The new publication also includes newly-engraved and slightly updated editions of Dorff's earlier duets DANCES AND CANONS, and ANDANTE CON VARIAZIONI. The new THREE LITTLE WALTZES will be premiered at the 2010 annual convention of the National Flute Association.

Study score now available for Anthony Iannaccone's DANCING ON VESUVIUS
Tenuto Publications is proud to publish a 9x12 score to Anthony Iannaccone's newest orchestra work, DANCING ON VESUVIUS. The 12½-minute work for standard-size orchestra was premiered in November 2008 by the Dearborn (MI) Symphony. The title refers to a metaphor made by Alban Berg in a 1933 letter to his wife, in which Berg compared the carefree decadence of German society while in a growing crisis to dancing on a volcano. Iannaccone's work draws inspiration from Berg's observation, balancing dancing optimism with a dark underlying turbulence that ultimately erupts and engulfs the spirited dance.

All-Dorff concert at Mid-Atlantic Flute Fair features composer as clarinetist, and premiere of new flute music
On February 22, flutist Cindy Anne Broz presented a concert of flute music by Daniel Dorff at the Mid-Atlantic Flute Fair, in Reston, VA. Ms. Broz performed Dorff's THREE ROMANCES and TWO CATS, both for flute and clarinet, as well as excerpts from the newly-published A TREASURY OF BACH DUETS, arranged by Dorff for flute and clarinet. The composer performed as guest clarinetist in all these works. The recital also featured Tiffany Holmes as flutist in the premiere of TREES (after the poem by Joyce Kilmer), for solo Flute with Narration; the narration was performed by Ms. Broz. TREES may be presented either with the flutist as narrator, or by two performers.
