F A C E written and arranged for Concert Band byStephen R Dalrymple

This is the band arrangement of a song I wrote to teach children thenames of the G Clef staff. It was quite a hit at the elementary school inOakridge when the Westridge Middle School Band travelled there and performed itfor children that knew the lyrics.]

In Haiti, the lyrics didn't make much sense (since 'face' doesn't meanthe same thing in Kreyol) but the fanfa (band) enjoyed playing the arrangementanyway.

The song and band versions of the sheet music for FACE are listedseparately on YouTube and sheetmusicplus.com

In 2017 I began researching andwriting a university level music textbook explaining contemporary classicalmusic composition techniques. In 2018 I finished the 300+ page manuscript and usedit to teach two university music course in Haiti that year.

It had been many years since I hadtaken the course myself, and needed to add to my knowledge of late 20thCentury and early 21st Century classical music composition techniques.During my research I grew interested in a classical music minimalist styleinfluenced by Terry Riley and Philip Glass. I have tried to use some of theirideas in this composition. There are 10 sections that can be repeated,reordered, and combined so that the performer actually makes a contribution tothe creation of the work.

Playing the piano at church behind areading of Luke 2, was my first experiment in this new form of music. When Ireturned home, I began to experiment in writing down the experience andrefining the work according to these minimalist ideas. The composition could beperformed with or without the narration, with a single narrator in a singlelanguage, or with the narration in multiple languages and/or with multiplevoices.

Suitable for preludes,offertories, concerts, personal meditation. Includes 2 versions 1) piano score,letter size 2) piano score, small pageformat for performing from 10.1 inch tablet. UpdatedDecember 2020.
