Brandon McPhee Concert, Scotland – UK

Brandon McPhee June Tour
Brandon McPhee concertAll Scotland Champion Brandon McPhee and his band perform in concert on Saturday March 17th, 7.30pm, at the Eden Court Theatre, Inverness. Also on the bill is the comedian Eddie Rose.

The poster shows Brandon McPhee’s other concert dates for March through to November, including the dates for his stage show ‘The Jimmy Shand Story’, which is a tribute to the late, great Sir Jimmy Shand (1908-2000). This show premiered in Belfast last week, and was a critical success that played to a full house. Brandon McPhee plays the same kind of accordion as Jimmy Shand – the 3-row diatonic Hohner Shand Morino – and is very much inspired by him.

Sir Jimmy Shand, knighted in 1999, was hugely popular in Scotland and beyond, and had an exceptionally long recording career from the 1930s to the 1990s. He recorded more tracks than the Beatles and Elvis Presley combined, and composed more than 330 dance tunes and other pieces of music. From the 1940s until his retirement in the 1970s he had a punishing life-style later adopted by rock bands, playing lots of consecutive dates around the UK and Ireland that involved a lot of travelling. He was the subject of two biographies, appeared as the subject on the BBC TV show ‘This Is Your Life’, had a locomotive and pub named after him, and was made a freeman of his home town Auchtermuchty in 1974.

She brought me up when I was little in the best way she could. She brought me also to the music and music school. Thanks Mama! So I am going to give concerts for the people who love classical, pop, jazz and world music on the accordion and the piano. Dear friends and colleagues I hope to see you in the concerts in Sarajevo, Mostar or Banja Luka.

Book Review: The Art of Arranging Classical Music for Accordion by Friedrich Lips - Germany

Cover of The Art of Arranging Classical Music for AccordionCurrently, music schools and conservatories do not teach how to structure, design or implement arrangements of original compositions for other instruments. Friedrich Lips, bayan-accordion virtuoso and professor at the prominent Gnesin Russian Academy of Music in Moscow, fills that gap with what could be used as course material with his book The Art of Arranging Classical Music for Accordion. First published in Russian and then German, it is now available in an updated and expanded form in English.

Although the book was written primarily with classical music in mind, the findings, declarations and descriptions are made by the author in generally understandable and simple words. Therefore, they apply or can be transferred to all areas of music, including virtuoso light music, folk music, traditional music, etc.

Similarly, while explanations focus on the concert bayan-accordion with converter bass, they are equally applicable to related instruments such as the Bandoneon, Concertina, Diatonic Accordion, Melodeon Player, etc.

This is an essential book for composers, professional players, musicologists and active amateurs who want to understand and create arrangements of music as well as interpret and perform them. They will find a discussion of the basic principles of creating arrangements.

These are followed by countless tips and numerous examples in musical notations for using the characteristics of the selected instrument to the best advantage. Descriptions include the accordion’s tonal range, use of registers to provide natural dynamics, bellows techniques explained in detail to enhance certain passages, types of articulation to be considered and methods of artistic presentation.

One chapter is devoted to arranging organ music, which is written on three staffs (two for the keyboards and one for the foot pedal), where there are certain analogies between organ and accordion tone generation. Another chapter concentrates on arranging piano and cembalo music and explains how to overcome the differences between the percussive and bellows instruments.

Extensive and detailed registers with names, terms, literature and titles of music examples included in the text provide the reader with significant source material.

The excellent content of the book corresponds to the outward appearance of the book: typographically lavish with finest Italian paper, thread-stitching, laminated softcover with double flap and exclusive design – worthwhile, treasured.

232 pages · 150 sheet music samples · Format: 17 x 24 cm · ISBN 978-3-925572-17-3
