New Music

 

From time to time, Skyline Publications releases new works in print. Presently we do not offer publications for downloads. Several publications are accompanied by sound samples and we are continually trying to upgrade each and every entry in our catalog with brief sample recordings.

Wind Music

Ivar Lunde, Jr;, Opus 123

A Flute of Champagne (2008) was written specifically for Tim Lane to whom it is dedicated. Dr. Lane is Professor of Flute at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.

The almost 5 minute work was inspired by watching the champagne flute filled with bubbles, some violent, some graceful, some uplifting and some just there, decorating the inside of the glass. One can almost feel the effervescence.

Then... the thrill of drinking it all. Prosit!

Harpsichord Music

This volume of Aliénor Preludes includes the Honorable Mention Winners of the 2008 Composition Competition. Along with creating compositions that possess the pertinent qualities stated above, the 2008 entrants were instructed to use “L’art de toucher le clavecin” by François Couperin as inspiration. Each piece included in Aliénor Preludes is from a larger suite by its composer. They were chosen to demonstrate specific technical applications and specifically arranged to tell the larger story of modern harpsichord music. In short, the purpose of Aliénor Preludes is to further educate and to push the limits of the amateur harpsichordist.

The following composers are represented:

Rudy Davenport
Thomas Donahue
Pablo Escande
Edward Gerber
Andrew Gustar
Kent Holliday
Janine Johnson
Rachel Laurin
Ronald McKean
Philip Underwood
