I Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum II Jimbo’s Lullaby III Serenade of the Doll IV The Snow is Dancing V The little Shepherd VI Golliwogg’s Cake Walk The orchestration by Hans Abrahamsen of Children’s Corner by Claude Debussy was commissioned by Radio KamerFilharmonie to celebrate Debusy at 150 in 2012. Arranged in 2011 it was then premiered by the Radio KamerFilharmonie conducted by Michael Schønwandt in Utrecht in February2012. Debussy’s six movement work for piano has been cherished the world over for its whimsical charm and the way in which they are evocative of childhood. Abrahamsen expands on these traits in his orchestration of the six little masterpieces; be it the mystical heaviness of Jimbo’s Lullaby the icy pirouettes in The Snow is Dancing or the buoyant ending: Golliwogg’s Cakewalk

The task: to write a piece that could involve children as players singers and composers alongside a professional symphony or chamber orchestra. The solution: a peace-cry for the biosphere in which the collaborative nature of theenterprise is a metaphor for a wished-for human enlightenment to the ways of the natural world. Davies provides five musical elements and five ways of development and uses these to illustrate five branches of life on earth:water-plants trees fish birds and mammals (including man). There is a space for answers from children's instrumental groups and then a larger space in which the children can develop the given ideas perhaps with members of theorchestra. Davies returns as composer to depict through an excess of development creation turned sour. Finally everyone comes together with a unison hymn with orchestra and instrumental groups celebrating the turn of thetide.This work for young instrumentalists children's chorus and orchestra was commissioned by the Association of British Orchestras as the centrepiece of an education project which coincided with the implementation of theNational Curriculum for music in schools in England and Wales echoing similar developments in Scotland and Northern Ireland.Score.

Score-Charles Ives' Third Symphony ‘The Camp Meeting’ is the most concisely-scored of his five symphonies. Containing only Strings a few Winds Horns and Trombone this is a clear and uncluttered reminiscence of nineteenth centuryAmerica as viewed through some of its traditional hymn tunes and in doing so evokes the old 'camp meetings' which were such a feature of pioneer life. The first movement ‘Old Folks' Gatherin'’ is a patchwork of hymntunes drifting through an unpredictable constantly changing harmonic orientation. After a climax is reached a quiet passage opens with oboe and flute over hushed distant strings. Ives reintroduces part of the middle section and settles down to a quiet coda ending the movement almost imperceptibly. The second movement ‘Children's Day’ opens with strings in two parts over Haydnesque eighth notes in the horns. ‘There is a Fountain Filled withBlood’ ‘Happy Land’ ‘Naomi’ and ‘There's Music in the Air’ all are heard. As this is a movement depicting children at play Ives is playful himself weaving hymn tunes into one another in a somewhat tongue-in-cheek manner. Thethird movement ‘Communion’ is darker in tone than the others and provides a psychologically satisfactory close to the work as a whole. This is the 1990 edition of the Score The Charles Ives Society Critical Edition edited byKenneth Singleton and reprinted in 2001. It contains substantial notes on Ives and this work.

This original composition first fell upon the ears of excited, rambunctious, elementary-aged children as part of an educational concert series geared toward teaching the sections of the orchestra. The room quickly grew silent and the audience was captivated by the haunting melodies and clashes of bold chords, intertwined with moments of tranquility and wonder. Each and every section of the orchestra will feel equally important as it tackles this challenging, yet appealing piece! (5:15) / Orchestre

Vocal Production Score-A children’s opera that reimagines the story of Robin Hood exploring what happens when Robin is unable to save the day and the forest community must look to itself for solutions.

An unabridged republication of this work orginally published by C.F. Kahnt Nachfolger in 1906. The symphony dates from the composer's prolific period of 1903-4. The work incorporates 'portraits' of Alma in the first movement and of children playing in a diabolical Scherzo- some say a musical prediction of the tragedy that was to strike the Mahler family within three years.

Orchestration/Conductor's Score-From Joseph Martin comes a cantata that is filled with the wonder and light of Christmas. This imaginative new work uses carols and candlelight to embody the hope of Christ. Featuring orchestration by Brant Adams and narration byPamela Martin this cantata empowers a director with many creative performance and programming options. Carols featured include: In the Bleak Midwinter ? Silent Night ? O Come Little Children ? What Child is This?? O Little Town of Bethlehem ? and many others. Amazing writing from the acclaimed composer of A World of Christmas and The Winter Rose.

This beautiful serene melody represents the ongoing and awesome legacy embedded in the profession of education. What we teach and pass on to our children affects the country the world and the future. The hope the responsibility and the wonder are effectively communicated in this lovely original work. Perhaps perform this in honor of a special teacher at your school or ask the audience to thankfully remember someone who has had a profound impact on their lives as they listen. (5:11)
