Emily Dickinson's two poems entitled Ending and Dawn provide the ideal backdrop for an experience that begins in darkness and ends in a burst of light and mystery. Meredith Tompkins' interpretation of the two texts centers on the multi-faceted meanings of each poem, exploring themes of lost youth, leaving home, mortality, destiny and hope. Audiences and choirs alike will experience Dickinson's poignant words through haunting melodies, vivid text-painting, dynamic contrast, minimalist soundscapes and melodic layering that gradually builds to intense and thought-provoking conclusions.Ending:That is solemn we have ended, —Be it but a play,Or a glee among the garrets,Or a holiday,Or a leaving home; or later,Parting with a worldWe have understood, for betterStill it be unfurled. Dawn:Not knowing when the dawn will comeI open every door;Or has it feathers like a bird,Or billows like a shore?

Written for the 1999 Wisconsin Honors Jazz Ensemble, this tune combines a powerful hip-hop groove, hard-hitting ensemble figures, unique harmonies, compelling minimalist features, and a touch of humor in a musical salute to Green Bay Packers legend Ray Nitschke. Brass ranges are reasonable, and highly accessible improvisation showcases for tenor sax and trumpet are included. The alternating 4/4 and 2/4 bars throughout may seem a little intimidating at first, but will fall into place quickly.

Minimalist patterns and finely woven sound structures create an attractive world of sound for two violins. Anno Schreier wrote the four miniatures as preliminary studies for his opera about the logician and computer scientist Alan Turing, who is today considered the most influential theorist of computer development. The pieces are suitable as a concert work but also as performance literature in instrumental lessons with advanced students.
