MARS HILL FANTASIA was commissioned by and is gratefully dedicated to Mars Hill College (now Mars Hill University), as part of the festivities celebrating their Sesquicentennial in 2006. The work was commissioned by their Low Brass instructor, and my friend, Dr. James Sparrow. The university is located right in the heart of the beautiful mountain area of Western North Carolina, and I wrote a work which both celebrates the long and distinguished history of Mars Hill University and its lovely mountain setting. The work is scored for two combined ensembles -- an 8-part low brass ensemble of trombones, euphoniums, and tubas, and an 8-part percussion ensemble of both mallet and non-pitched percussion instruments. The music contains rich, sonorous, and joyful gestures, with stentorian fanfares, resonant chords, and lyrical melodies. It was given a truly exciting and festive premiere in October 2006 by the combined low brass and percussion ensembles of the music department of Mars Hill.MARS HILL FANTASIA was commissioned by and is gratefully dedicated to Mars Hill College (now Mars Hill University), as part of the festivities celebrating their Sesquicentennial in 2006.The work was commissioned by their Low Brass instructor, and my friend, Dr. James Sparrow.

Glorious Hill may be performed by a male choir.Text by Pico della Mirandola (1463-1497) from De Hominis Dignitate.Glorious Hill was commissioned by the Hilliard Ensemble and first performed by them at its summer Festival of Voices in Lewes, Sussex, in August 1988. It was the first piece I wrote for the ensemble and I focused on the singers' unique ability to move with ease from early music to tonal music of the present day. There were techniques which I asked for which I hardly needed to notate - the staggered breathing of the two tenors to supply a continuous unbroken held note for example - and the piece moves between passages for solo voices and sections of highly chromatic homophony, almost as if the music were switching between the 12th century of Perotin and the 16th century of Gesualdo. Each of the four voices is given its own solo passage, sometimes accompanied, sometimes quietly supported by the other voices.The title, Glorious Hill comes from the name of the small-town Mississippi setting of Tennessee Williams' Summer and Smoke. I wrote the music for the 1987 production of this play at the Leicester Haymarket Theatre, the first time I had written any incidental music for the stage. Williams makes very specific demands in terms of music and there is one particularly powerful scene, the penultimate one, throughout which music and atmospheric sound effects are continuous. The principle character Alma argues passionately about the vital importance of human choice with the man to whom she has, too late, admitted her love. I watched this section every night throughout the 4 week run of the play watching the different ways in which the actress, Frances Barber, played the scene. There is a powerful emotional and philosophical connection between the imagery of this scene and a passage from the Renaissance philosopher Pico della Mirandola's Oration on the Dignity of Man which forms the text of Glorious Hill. This passage has been described as one of the few passages in Renaissance philosophy to treat human freedom in a modern way. The text, which is sung in Latin, is addressed by God to Adam before the fall from grace.Gavin Bryars.

Pleasant Hill takes its inspiration from pleasant relaxing moments snatched on top of a sunny hill. It takes the form of a traditional march with the composer leading us over the hill with a bass solo and a melodious trio. The march comes to a close leaving everybody reeling with a fascinating sense of majesty. In der kurzen aber bezaubernden Einleitung diese Straßenmarsches ist der Charakter des Stückes bereits vollständig getroffen. Die Eingebung dazu entstand aus dem Gedanken an einen wohltuend entspannten Aufenthalt auf einem sonnigen Hügel. Harm Evers verwendete eine traditionelle Marschform, um uns über den Hügel zu führen, in der ein wohlklingendes Basssolo und ein melodisches Trio natürlich nicht fehlen durften. Der Faszination durch den feierlichen Schluss wird sich kaum jemand entziehen können.

Hill Country Miniatures for 8-part Trombone Ensemble was written by Richard J. Lawn in 2002 for the Trombone Choir at the University of Texas and its director Nathaniel Brickens. The work is dedicated to Donald Knaub its former director. It has become a staple in the American Trombone Ensemble repertoire since its original release. Mr. Lawn explains in the notes, his deep emotional connection to the Hill Country land and to his days at the Eastman School of Music, hearing the legendary Trombone Choir led by Emory Remington and following through to his days at the University of Texas with Knaub and Brickens, all of which inspired him to compose this work. This music is about 15 minutes in length and is for advanced performers. The four movements of the work are: Hickory Cove - September 2001 - a lyrical, somber and solemn introductory movement. Smithwick - a jaunty piece reflecting the Scottish and English heritage of this tiny Texas spot. The Narrows - As part of the Colorado River narrows, it twists and turns its way through the Texas Hill Country. You can hear the gentle waters winding through the cliffs and slopes. Blue Bonnet Boogie - The springtime brings a profusion of the Blue Bonnet, the Texas state flower. A sea of these swaying in the breeze brings out the good old down-home boogie-woogie! A jazz solo featuring Bass Trombone (written for Bill Reichenbach in mind) with solo written out or improvised using chord symbols adds a festive finish. Cherry Classics is proud to be the new distributor of this great work.

A Choral Suite for Two Part (Soprano and Alto) Children's Chorus setting the text of George Mackay Brown. This enchanting 12-minute cycle is typical of the subtle and delicate way Maxwell-Davies approaches writing for children: straightforward, tender, affectionate, yet with just a hint of the complexity found in challenging 'adult' works like the cycle Westerlings. George Mackay Brown's poetry with its haiku-like short stanzas and pointilliste allusive imagery leaves you constantly intrigued : who is the boy 'lost on the hill till sundown', and why is time 'a bird with white wings?' Is this perhaps the poet himself playing a bit of holiday truant?

This stately opening work begins in the low register with a broad main theme from the low brass immediately setting the tone. Gradually other sections and registers enter and despite retaining a majestic character the rhythmic element becomes more active. This work makes truly creative use of sound, without great virtuosity or complexity, but maintains a good balance between static and dynamic elements. Dit statige openingswerk begint in het lage register en etaleert een breed hoofdthema waarin het lage koper meteen de toon zet, gesteund door een continue slagwerkcadans. Geleidelijk komen ook andere secties en registers aan bod enwordt het ritmische element actiever, al bewaart het geheel een gedragen karakter. Het gaat om een echt klankstuk, zonder een grote virtuositeit of complexiteit, maar met een prima evenwicht tussen statische en dynamische elemeten.Dieses majestätische Eröffnungswerk beginnt im tiefen Register und präsentiert ein breit angelegtes Hauptthema, in welchem das tiefe Blech sofort den Ton angibt, unterstützt von einer durchgehenden Kadenz in den Schlaginstrumenten. Nach und nach erscheinen andere Orchesterteile und Register und das rhythmische Element wird aktiver, wobei der majestätische Charakter jedoch erhalten bleibt. Ein Werk, das voll und ganz auf Klang aufbaut, ohne große Virtuosität oder Komplexität, jedoch mit einer perfekten Balance zwischen statischen und dynamischen Elementen.Cette majestueuse pièce d’ouverture débute dans un paysage sonore grave et profond où retentit un thème ample et généreux, joué par les cuivres graves, sur un mouvement continu de la percussion. Le ton est donné. Petit petit, de nouveaux pupitres intègrent harmonieusement le développement et complètent les zones de timbre. La cellule rythmique s’intensifie sans toutefois influencer le caractère majestueux de l’oeuvre. The Swan on the Hill est sans grande difficulté technique, mais nécessite un travail approfondi de l’environnement sonore afin d’obtenir un bon équilibre entre les éléments musicaux statiques et dynamiques.Questo maestoso brano di apertura inizia su un passaggio sonoro grave e profondo dove echeggia un tema ampio e generoso, eseguito dagli ottoni gravi, su un movimento continuo delle percussioni. Poco a poco, altre sezioni della banda integrano armoniosamente lo sviluppo e completano le zone di timbro. La cellula ritmica si intensifica senza tuttavia influenzare il carattere maestoso del brano. The Swan on the Hill non pone grandi difficolt tecniche, ma richiede un lavoro profondo sulle dinamiche, al fine di ottenere un buon equilibrio tra gli elementi musicali statici e dinamici.

Greatly influenced by the John Fischer book of the same title,On a Hill Too Far Awayis a clarion call to His church to bring the cross back to the center of our faith. Now with all new drama and a full length DVD that brings the Cross front and center in poignant images.It is the story of Calvary. While it may seem that all of this occurred on a hill too far away, too far removed from our life to speak to us, we cannot stand in the distance and expect to experience the magnitude of the cross. We must draw near. We must face what we can never understand. We must confront the ravaged spotless Lamb to gain just a glimpse of our stain of sin. The cross cannot be explained away. The cross cannot be ignored. The cross cannot be stripped of its cruelty and shame. The cross cannot and will not be denied. The invitation stands- come to the place of mercy and grace. It is the way of the cross that leads us home.Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2 NIV).

Wakakusa Hill ligt ten oosten van Nara in Japan en dankt zijn naam aan het jonge gras (‘wakakusa’ betekent ‘jong gras’). Aan de voet van de heuvel zijn beroemde tempels en heiligdommen te vinden, waaronder de Todai-tempel en het Kasuga-altaar.De heuvel is jaarlijks het toneel van het ‘Yamayaki’-evenement in de vijftiende nacht van januari. Voor deze gelegenheid maakt men van de heuvel een enorm vuurspektakel, de vlammen van de vele fakkels verlichten dande nachtelijke hemel van Nara.Kurz, kräftig und wirkungsvoll: Mit diesen drei Begriffen ist fast alles über dieses fantastische Fanfare von Itaru Sakai gesagt. Fanfare of Wakakusa Hill handelt von der alten japanischen Tradition, auf dem Hügel Wakakusa in der Nacht des 15. Januars ein Feuer zu entzünden, das den Himmel über der am Fuße des Hügels gelegenen Stadt Nara erhellt. Le mont Wakakusa (littéralement ‘herbe nouvelle’), situé l’est de Nara, tient son nom de cette herbe nouvelle qui le recouvre. son pied se dressent plusieurs temples et sanctuaires célèbres, dont le Temple Todaiji et le sanctuaire de Kasuga. Le quinze janvier de chaque année, le mont Wakakusa est le thé tre d’un incroyable spectacle nocturne. La tradition veut que pour célébrer l’événement du Yamayaki (la Fête du feu de l’herbe), le mont soit embrasé pour laisser les flammes illuminer le ciel nocturne au-dessus de Nara.
