Ballade' was taken unaltered from Bohuslav Martinu's film opera 'Die drei Wunsche oder Die Wechselfalle des Lebens' - as a quartet like the original with piano accompaniment only. The mainly homophonic and traditionally harmonic piece full of vigour cannot only be sung as a solo, but is also ideal for male choir. In addition to the original French text, this first edition also contains the Czech and German translations.The 28 August 2009 marks the 50th anniversary of the Czech composer's death.

This lovely original ballad for strings sounds like it was based on a traditional folk song. Carl Strommen has a way of writing memorable melodies and lush harmonies. Lonestar sounds like an American cowboy song, and will stretch the musicianship of your young students.The plaintive opening in Violin 1 (optional solo) then joined with Violin 2 (optional solo) at m. 9 suggests an early morning sunrise on the vast Western prairie. With each new section, the sun slowly emerges and rises in full glory at m. 41. The performance of Lonestar will be most effective when played broadly, with expression, observing all dynamics and tempo changes. To present this musical portrait more clearly, the conductor is encouraged to take advantage of the interpretive opportunities that Lonestar provides.

Recorded by the Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band on the album March Of The Tadpoles, the score notes for this beautiful work explain two major performance options. First, the introduction may be replaced by a freely-improvised piano solo (as originally recorded on the album); this makes all sax doubles unnecessary. Second, the main solo feature for tenor sax may also be played by alto; extra substitute parts are provided. Duration 5:20.
