Jay Rouse has breathed fresh life into this classic carol! Beginning in a lightly rhythmic, almost contemporary style, this anthem gradually transitions into a powerfully majestic shout of praise. Jay's signature arranging touches are all present, including beautiful re-harmonizations and a well-written piano accompaniment. A brass/percussion orchestration, by Stan Pethel, is also available.

Four Elements was originally composed for Violin and Bass Trombone and was written as a Christmas present for the composer's sister, Priscilla, and her husband, Bass Trombonist, Gordon Hallberg who performed with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

Raum was experimenting with tone rows at the time and the row is first stated in the first six notes in the Trombone part followed by the next six in the Violin part.

The titles of the movements, from the Four Elements, are descriptive of the moods of each movement.

Water has the lines of the instruments flowing, as in a river with swirls and eddies.

Earth has Jazz influences which are intended to give an Earthy quality to the second movement.

Air, with mutes, glissandos, and quasi unmeasured rhythm, seeks to float;

The finale Fire is crackling with excitement.

Trombonist, David William Brubeck, asked Raum if she had anything written for trumpet and trombone as he frequently performs in a duo so she adapted the violin part in Four Elements for trumpet.

The work can be performed by advanced performers.

Two scores are provided, including one for C Trumpet and the other for B-flat Trumpet. The Trombone part can be performed with an f-attachment Tenor Trombone or Bass Trombone.

John Van Buren's Gloria was composed in 1996 for the Maulbronner Kammerchor, which introduced this work in Germany and on tours to Russia and Argentina. It has since also been heard in Italy, Holland and the USA. John Van Buren writes about his work: The beginning of my Gloria is initially very restrained, even cautious. It is extremely chromatic, the sound only gradually opening out to become a song of praise. The work grows in a steady crescendo until it arrives at an 8-part fortissimo sound (B major). Finally, the expression of great vitality gives place to a soprano melody which floats calmly above the choral sound, and the work dies away pianissimo.

ISBN 9781705153505. UPC: 840126926927. 6.75x10.5x0.268 inches. Timothy Michael Powell/Tim Sharp.

This work grew out of the co-creator's love for the tunes and texts coming out of the Appalachian Mountains and the shape-note and early Moravian singing tradition. In the words of Tim Sharp, “We took the image of bands of angels singing and playing at the Nativity as reported in the second chapter of Luke's gospel, transported that image to Appalachia, and Angel Band is the result.” Containing 8 carols (mostly familiar), a processional and recessional, Angel Band is a fusion of ideas ranging from medieval tunes to contemporary bluegrass.
