Explore the terrain and weather conditions of the Pacific Northwest, beginning with a cold, fog-covered morning, concealing the beauty of the surrounding landscapes. As the sun continues to rise, the fog fades and a gloomy rainstorm takes its place while we traverse through the evergreens. As the music persists onwards, rays of sunshine break through the clouds and bring about a warm, joyous afternoon filled with light, breathtaking mountain views, and the scent of pine needles.

This moving symphonic poem is about the French region of Lorraine. Since the time of the Roman Empire, Lorraine has been ruled by either Germany or France with wars redrawing national boundaries many times over the years. While its history has been bloody, folk music from the region breaks up the tension in the piece and offers many uplifting moments. An optimistic conclusion features a mixture of music from the three countries Lorraine sits between: Luxembourg, Germany and France.Dit ontroerende symfonische gedicht gaat over Lotharingen, een gebied aan de oostkant van Frankrijk. De muzikale verklanking begint in de tijd van het Heilige Roomse Rijk. Een tijd waarin het land wordt geteisterd door vele oorlogen.Een tijd ook waarin het land nu eens bij Duitsland, dan weer bij Frankrijk hoort. Vrolijke elementen zijn er echter ook: volksmuziek uit Lotharingen en ook een verzoenend slot dat met toespelingen op het volkslied het drielandenpuntvan Frankrijk, Duitsland en Luxemburg belicht.Dieses bewegende symphonische Gedicht handelt von der Region Lothringen in Frankreich. Beginnend mit der Zeit des heiligen Römischen Reiches, über diverse Kriege, die im Land wüteten und Wechsel zwischen deutscher und französischer Staatszugehörigkeit wird die Geschichte musikalisch nacherzählt. Für fröhliche Elemente sorgen Anklänge der lothringischen Volksmusik und der versöhnliche Schluss, der mittels Anspielungen auf die Nationalhymne auf das Dreiländereck“ Frankreich, Deutschland und Luxemburg anspielt.Ce fascinant poème symphonique retrace l’histoire de la Lorraine telle qu’elle a été perçue par les habitants de Yutz (France). L’introduction illustre la période où la Lorraine faisait partie du Saint-Empire romain germanique. Puis se profile un rythme de marche faisant référence aux nombreuses guerres qui frappèrent la région. Une atmosphère plus chaleureuse se dessine, symbolisant l’unité des Lorrains, chamarrée des joyeuses esquisses de musiques traditionnelles qui parcourent les rues de Yutz. La création mondiale de l’oeuvre fut donnée en juin 2010, Yutz, sous la direction du compositeur Jacob de Haan.La Lorena è l’unica regione francese che condivide i confini con altre tre nazioni: Belgio, Lussemburgo e Germania. Questo brano sottolinea il carattere cosmopolita della regione che nel corso della guerra franco-prussiana costrinse i francesi a cederla al neo-nato impero tedesco, ma che fu restituita alla Francia dopo la prima guerra mondiale a seguito del trattato di Versailles. Il brano propone un tema basato sulla melodia dell’inno nazionale tedesco come anche, con un ritmo rapido, sule note della Marsigliese. Segue un motivo fondato sulle prime note dell’inno nazionale lussemburghese.

ISBN 9780825839122. UPC: 798408039127. 6.875 X 10.5 inches. Key: Bb major. English. Text: Anonymous. Henry Baker, Hal Hopson.
From a composite text derived from Psalms 148 and 150 and a 19th Century hymn tune by Charles Hubert Hasting Parry, Hal Hopson has fashioned a grand, festive anthem of praise to the creator. The vocal parts are very manageable (much of the piece is unison - only the 2nd stanza and the final cadence are in parts), and the additional instrumental resources, while not required, will enhance the effect of grandeur that Mr. Hopson intends. There is also a descant on Stanza 4. Moderately easy. General Church/Festival occasion.

Conceived as an energetic and musically rewarding work, this piece also happens to be an excellent vehicle for teaching and reinforcing low 1 fingerings (violin/viola), backward extensions (cello), and half position (bass). The piece avoids augmented seconds and focuses on simple finger patterns while exploring dynamic harmonies that create wonderful tension and release throughout. A fantastic opener or closer!

Text by Clark Kimberling.
An anthem for SATB voices and two handbells characterized by continual meter changes (at almost every measure). While at first seemingly complex, it quickly becomes clear that the rhythm perfectly matches the text creating an exciting musical experience. Has a bit of the flavor of the German chorale or a Genevan psalter tune. 2 Handbells. .

After spending months looking, my wife and I bought a home in the suburbs. While looking, I increasingly became intrigued by the overall funkyness of the insides of a number of houses we were shown by our realtor. From the crazy wallpaper, to the downright hideous paint colors, to the do-it-yourself projects gone wrong, to the fresh smells of wacky tobacky, some of these homes were real standouts. After seeing so many of these homes, I began to imagine who these current homeowners were. I started picturing them moving about their homes, doing these crazy projects, and dancing a quirky new dance I called the urban sprawl (think Nixon dancing in Nixon in China). Urban Sprawl is a 6 1/2 -minute funky, jazzy, kitschy, and hopefully fun ode to Suburban Life (which was the working title). The work was written for and premiered by Alarm Will Sound at the 201111 Mizzou New Music Summer.

Confluences is a three-movement work for clarinet, violin, violoncello and piano which was composed for the New York Continuum Ensemble in 2001. In the short first movement, a two-note motif wanders through the strings while the piano plays delicate figures in the descant. The second movement, Grazioso, is the most elaborate among the three, beginning with a fast arch-shaped theme played by the clarinet. The final movement, entitled 'peaceful, floating', contains a transparent dialogue between all members of the ensemble. Confluences was premiered at the Knitting Factory in New York City in 2001.

Legends of the phoenix are found in stories from ancient Egypt and Greece. While each culture possesses a range of stories encompassing the myth, these tales tend toward similar traits: a sacred bird with brilliantly colored plumage and melodious call lives for typically 500 years, then dies in a nest of embers, only to be reborn among the flames. Phoenix Rising consists of two movements: I. Dying in Embers represents an old phoenix settling on top of a pile of embers and breathing its last breath; II. Reborn in Flames depicts the newly-born phoenix getting its first taste of flight.

Arranged for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir with optional 2 or 3 octaves of handchimes. Level 2+. This delicate setting of the tune NEUMARK is an excellent choice for any contemplative moment during worship. Flowing treble eighth notes underpin most of the piece while the melody peers through in the low treble. A verse set mostly on handchimes offers a break from the moving eighths, which return as the piece grows in strength. A final, triumphant set of chords bring the piece to a firm, confident conclusion.
