9780786661572: Mel Bay Barrage, Volume 1

Synopsis

Barrage is a hot young touring group of seven violinists, one percussionist, one kit player, guitarist, bass and keyboard players, performing a mix of original world beat music by Dean Marshall, with infectious and irresistible energy. Barrage combines jazz, swing, Celtic roots, rock, klezmer, country, calypso and every musical style in between to create an eclectic and electrifying assault on the senses. After hundreds of requests for the music of Barrage, this volume of sheet music has finally been produced. The texture of the music has been simplified from the group's seven parts down to 1 to 3 violin parts, with various markings included (bar numbers, fingerings, and bowings) which can be useful in group situations. In terms of difficulty, these arrangements are definitely written for the more intermediate to advanced player. The companion Enhanced CD has two exciting applications: You can print the piano/guitar accompaniment sheet music from your computer, and you can insert the same CD in your stereo for play along with the pre-recorded piano accompaniment tracks!

About the Author

Over the past decade, Dean Marshall has distinguished himself as a versatile pedagogue, composer, arranger and performer. As the current Artistic Director of the hot new fiddle group BARRAGE and as the Past Artistic Director of the Calgary Fiddlers Association and the Fiddlers GF, Mr. Marshall has stretched the parameters of violin playing by incorporating fiddling and traditional music styles with a contemporary world beat sound. He has also produced numerous recording and video projects. Mr. Marshall''s unique and highly effective approach to pedagogy ensures that he is in great demand as a teacher. His success in developing string players at all levels has resulted in workshops and lectures at the Midwest International Orchestra and Band Workshop, European String Teachers Association, Hawaii Suzuki Institute, Ohio Music Educators Conference and the International String Workshops. His composing and arranging credits include writing and producing the highly successful "Fiddle Club" series published by Marshall Crozman Music. He has also served as composer and arranger for Richard Hayman and the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra. Trained as a classical violinist, Mr. Marshall is a graduate of the University of Toronto and Mount Royal College Conservatory. In addition to touring England, Scotland, Australia, the USA and Japan as a performer he is also a former winner of first prize in the Grand North American Fiddle Championships. Barrage is a celebration of sound and energy that explodes on stage and into the audience. This stage extravaganza is a stunning visual and aural fusion of music, dance, theater and song centered around an ageless and powerful instrument--the violin. 5 to 1 Entertainments (John Crozman, Dean Marshall, Anthony Moore, Larry Saloff and Jana Wyber) are the creators of Barrage and Executive Producers of A Violin Sings, A Fiddle Dances. The five incurable optimists and irrepressible dreamers of 5 to 1 Entertainments share a passion for music and creative endeavors. Since forming Barrage in 1996, they have forged their own unique path through the entertainment industry while staying true to their unshakable belief that artistic experiences can motivate, educate, cross cultural boundaries and still be fun. Their idealism and sheer hard-headed determination have kept their creative and entrepreneurial juices flowing through the years. Updates on BARRAGE tour schedules are kept current on their web page - www.barrage.org. The Canadian Cast of Barrage has electrified audiences throughout North America and Europe since their formation in 1996. The first troupe to be formed under the Barrage banner, the Canadian Cast consists of fine, young players from Western Canada who were chosen for their musicianship, versatility and dynamic personalities. The Canadian Cast is featured on the debut self-titled recording as well as the concert video special Barrage: The World on Stage. Much more information on Barrage and its creators and members is available on their web site, www.barrage.org.
