instruments and the history of glass music).

Concerts
I shall be pleased to arrange a concert programme
on request in which my main focus is on the
classical repertoire which can be completed
by pieces from the so-called entertainment-music.
An example of a
festive Church concert with concert-harp and glass (approx. 55 Minutes):
- A.Vivaldi: Sonata (Andante, Allemanda,
Aria di Giga)

- T.Morley: Now is the month of maying

- J.S.Bach: Siciliano
, Präludium c-moll
, Arioso

- J.B.Krumpholz: Allegretto

- J.Haydn: Trio

- G.Faure: At Prayer (En Priere)

- C.Debussy: The Girl with the flexen hair

- C.Saint-Saens: Fantaisie op. 95

- F.Schnaubelt: A small Impression (Petit Impression)

- C.Saint-Saens: The Swan

"Sound dimensions soothing
to the ear extraordinary ... could
be enjoyed: A combination of glass
music and harp"

Galas, Events, Company Celebrations
Whether it be a matter of a brief performance lasting only some
minutes or as background music at a gala dinner I can offer
you a variety of programmes to suit any audience. From my
experience I have seen that the classical Evergreens are
just as popular as jazz and entertainment classics. I can
perform whatever you request to your utmost satisfaction: if
your function has a particular theme, Mr. Israelov can
arrange the appropriate piece of "programme music" for that theme.
Example: Sequence of a ceremony followed by a buffet
(12 min. musical interval between speeches,
approx. 50 minute buffet interval):
- Champagne reception, followed by glass-gong and speeches:
- Variations of Frere Jacques (Verrophone striking)

- W.A.Mozart: Adagio for Glass-harmonika

- A.Vivaldi: Allemanda

- J.B.Krumpholz: Allegretto

- C.Saint-Saens: The Swan

- After buffet commences:
- Bizet: Minuet (Verrophone and Musical Glasses)

- T.Morley: Now is the month of maying

- J.S.Bach: Arioso

- Chattanooga Choo Choo

- Raindrops keep falling on my head

- El Condor Pasa

- Dr.Schiwago

- ect.

Children's Concerts, School
Performances
Ihave often had the pleasure of
performing in schools. The programme
is here adapted to the school
setting. For music as a subject the
programme is quite different to that
of a Christmas celebration for the
entire elementary school:
(Topright: "The Swan" by Saint-Saens
from the Ballet "der Karneval der Tiere").
There is also a demand for glass music
for children's concerts: For example
"der Josa mit der Zauberfidel" contains
a glass part:
Bottom right:
"
At the end the stage was made clear for young
musical talent,... Particularly for the glass
harp, which was so popular during Mozart's time,
the children were queueing patiently."
(Bremen, July 2000)
