I'll go to Brahms op. 18 Sextet concert in a few days and I haven't bought tickets yet. I'm wondering if there is a specific position where each instrument is sitting? If the two Cello sit left I'll book a seat more on the right side in the audience so I can watch them better, or the other way around, if this makes sense :)
Thanks a lot in advance!!

Hi! I am looking for a copy of the bass part that was added by Mahler to go with Schubert's Death and the Maiden. Does anyone has access to it?

Hi everyone! I've just completed the score video for my new piece, Moonbounce for sax octet. I tried to put a lot of thought and effort into this piece and I'm very satisfied with the result. I also attempted to write something that was accessible for many performers yet interesting enough for them to have fun with.

PROGRAM NOTE: Moonbounce, a piece for saxophone octet, explores the ethereal beauty and technical intricacies of Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) communications, commonly known as Moonbounce. This piece delves into the celestial realm, drawing inspiration from the fascinating interplay between technology and the cosmos.
In telecommunications, EME utilizes the Moon as a natural satellite to bounce radio signals back to Earth. This innovative technique has enabled long-distance communication and scientific exploration beyond the constraints of terrestrial boundaries.
The work begins with a sense of anticipation, mirroring the preparatory phase of establishing communication with the Moon. Gradually, the saxophones introduce motifs that evoke the transmission and reception of signals, employing rhythmic patterns and dynamic contrasts to emulate the exchange between Earth and its satellite. Layers of harmony and melody intertwine, echoing the complexities of EME communication protocols. Through harmonic shifts and melodic motifs, the piece reflects the interplay of signals bouncing off the moon’s surface.

Here is an arrangement I did for woodwind quintet. It has some really cool parts for all the instruments and it's a great ensemble piece

I am a high school aged singer who is receiving training in classical voice as a tenor and my good friend is a great violinist who also enjoys learning classical repertoire. We both want to learn some chamber music and don’t know where to start. We would have almost a full year to learn it if we end up wanting to perform it and are willing to ask a member of our school orchestra or band to join us. We’d prefer it if it wasn’t a modern piece or in English, I’d prefer to sing in German, French or Italian. Thanks!!

Hey guys looking for recommendations for a piece that will work well for a flute, alto flute, clarinet & bass clarinet? Totally understand that it’d need arranging but hoping to fun something fun. Thinking woodwind quartet with alto replacing oboe & bass clarinet replacing bassoon. Any suggestions? Will the alto flute be able to be heard over the other instruments? TIA

What an amazing cover

Hey everyone, there’s some students who are looking to perform together (flute, violin & 2 clarinets) & was wondering what repertoire people would suggest to be adapted for the group. Between the clarinets they can play Bb, A, Eb & Bass. The flautist can play picc or alto flute too. They want quirky instrumentation but I’m not sure what to do. TIA

Hey everyone! I’m looking for a Mamma Mia arrangement for a chamber group with harp, cello, viola, and violin. It’s a very strange grouping, so I haven’t been able to find anything online, and I’m terrible at arranging. If anyone has anything they could pass along, it would be greatly appreciated!

Participating in a chamber music festival. for high school students this summer. I need to put down piece requests. Would anyone happen to know a piece for piano and some amount of strings similar to Shostakovich’s Piano trio 2 specifically movement for that would be easier to play/put toghether? If any one has any ideas that even aren’t similar but you really like also put them down.

Thanks!!

What's your favorite, or one that deserves more recognition? The 3 I see and hear most often are the Dvorak Op. 77, the Prokofiev quintet (a personal favorite), and the Trout quintet. There's got to be more out there, right?

Hi, my chamber partner and I are having difficulty finding appropriate pieces for this upcoming semester. I am a pianist and he is a percussionist, and we would prefer pieces for mallet percussion and piano. The piece has to be chamber music of equal partnership, no accompaniment, and originally composed for percussion and piano (as opposed to being arranged). We're needing about 10-12 minutes of music, and should be at an advanced playing level.

​

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
