aboutthemusic Sheet music is a universal resource used by musicians everywhere, and at jasminmusic our aim is to be the supplier of choice for those seeking quality solutions to specific musical needs or environments. Our music has been heard in venues such as London's Wigmore Hall; the church of St.Martins-in-the-Fields, London; the Barber Institute of Fine Arts at the University of Birmingham, and the Brecon Jazz Festival. Titles have been performed at the BBC "Proms in the Park", broadcast live on BBC Radio Wales and BBC1 National Television, performed at the Ilkley Festival of Literature and the Ledbury Poetry Festival. During the Spring of 2007 titles from the catalogue were performed as part of Aled Jones' "The Best of Aled Jones" tour which included venues such as the Sage Centre, Gateshead, Fairfield Halls, Croydon and St.David's Hall, Cardiff. Further afield, performances have taken place throughout Germany, including the Coliseum, Bonn and at the Philharmonie, Cologne, whilst elsewhere performances have taken place in France, the Czech Republic and the USA. Musical commissions have been fulfilled for a wide variety of musicians, not only string quartets, trios and duos, but larger ensembles, including the Cardiff-based Charlie Barber+Band, and for Germany's top vocal group, the "Wise Guys". Recent performances have also been given by Wales's top string quartet, "Celticana", whilst the rising young star soprano Fflur Wyn and solo harpist Catrin Finch have both performed music arranged by John Rayson. In June 2008 jasminmusic was commissioned to provide the string arrangements for the award-winning song "The Pool of Life", co-written by Kenny O'Connell, Matthew Shaw and Carl Davis. This song was selected as the anthem for Liverpool, European City of Culture 2008 and subsequently released on CD. Our work falls into two categories: Sheet Music, and Studio. Sheet Music With every item in the jasminmusic sheet music catalogue, we strive to produce titles which are;
Each title is, as far as is practically possible, a complete, finished and free standing musical entity, secure throughout in musical texture, faithful in it's harmony and counterpoint. Titles are printed on high quality paper, and scores are permanently bound and open flat for ease of use. Titles in the jasminmusic catalogue are not intended to be authorative critical editions of the composers' works, but are intended as practical performing material representing only our own considered view on the subject. Shorter titles are, where possible, furnished with repeats and/or da capos to give the option to create a piece of adequate length, whilst longer titles often include the sometimes omitted introductions, interludes or trio sections. Where there are significant musical abridgements of the composer's original work, this will usually be mentioned in the catalogue description. Studio Working in conjunction with Poolmusic (www.poolmusic.co.uk) we now provide services to the recording industry, studios, song writers and composers, and to date our work has been heard throughout the UK and in also in the USA.
