Something has happened at the circus... the magician has hypnotized the entire audience and the circus isn't quite right. After a strange and frightening beginning, there is a gentle, yet peculiar rain that falls. A creepy theme in the tenor saxophone (interrupted by some terrifying screams) moves into the trapeze artists theme where they seem to encounter an accident. A short funeral procession leads back into the lone sneaky saxophone before the magic box is opened. This magic slowly evolves into a return to normality and back to The Greatest Show on Earth! Experience this spine-chilling circus with Carnival of Shadows by David Marlatt. (6:00).

When Hearts Tremble is an emotion packed piece dedicated to musician friends lost all to soon. This beautiful composition by Brant Karrick reflects on the fragility of human existence, joyous memories of loved ones and their effect on everyone around them, and maintaining hope for what the future will hold when all feels lost. This tour de force piece perfectly displays Karrick's polished compositional craft with impeccable scoring, beautiful melodic writing, and exceptional orchestrational color.
While the day-to-day grind of our lives can be filled with overwhelming obligations, goals and commitments, it is sometimes very easy to forget just how precious and fragile life is . It is so easy to get caught up in our own personal feelings and worries that we sometimes don’t realize and appreciate the many blessings we have, especially friendships . On Wednesday, November 18, 2015 the Jefferson High School Band in Jefferson, Georgia lost two of its members to a fatal car accident . The victims were brothers . Music was a constant part of their lives, and the boys were talented percussionists in the marching band . To help with the grieving process the school and community commissioned this piece to celebrate the lives of William and Alex Trimble .As a father, I cannot imagine losing a child, let alone two, and beginning this piece was very difficult as I felt extreme anguish, especially for the parents . But it was decided the piece should primarily reflect the enthusiasm, youthful spirits and positive influence these two young men demonstrated as they were deeply loved by their band mates, community and family . There are four main themes, each representing the feelings and emotions that are certain to occur after a loss of loved ones . The first theme is a short, introductory fanfare, strong and bold, to stand for courage . A second dance-like melody features a liltingly mixed meter to portray a youthful and carefree innocence . This soon changes into a third more song-like, and stately theme intended to provide encouragement as we move forward through life .The middle of the piece includes a soft transition as two snare drummers give voice to the boys, allowing them to thank their friends and assuring them that it will be okay . This moves directly into a slow melody introduced by the saxophones (Alex, the younger brother was also a saxophonist) and is a time for reflection and allows for feelings of sadness at losing beloved friends . However, a second statement of the same theme, now at full volume with a strong percussion cadence, intends to lift the spirits and allows all friends to unite in joyous celebration of life . Both the enthusiastic dance theme and stately lyrical theme return, now in different keys, and work their way toward the highly energetic burst of glorious sound in the short and wild coda . When Hearts Tremble was written to celebrate the joys of youth and life, and should remind us that our friends and loved ones are precious, and we should live each day to bring more joy into the world and into the lives of others .

Excellence makes the not always popular point that excellence is not achieved overnight, nor by accident. The (sometime tongue-twisting) language is very colourful and engaging and, as the final movement of The Same Flame, the music is equally exciting and explosive.

After a long recovery from an accident, composer Hodkinson was asked for piano duet music for two colleagues at Stetson University. Eager to return to composing, Hodkinson produced this serenade, Brain Drops, with each of seven movements dedicated to the doctors and therapists who saw him through his ordeal. The serenade is frequently defined as instrumental 'evening music' characterized by a mixture of elements, he says. The melange exhibited herein is certainly a scrambled mixture - perhaps akin to my own somewhat addled brain at the time. For advanced performers. Duration:c.20'.

Forever Climbing was written as tribute to the loss of a high school band student that was tragically killed in a rock climbing accident. It is not intended as a sad piece, but as a celebration of the life of this exceptional young man. At times the piece is contemplative, but also contains a joy that is to depict the way he lived. As the piece builds to its conclusion, the listener will have a sense of fulfillment in a life well lived, even though it was cut short. A moving new addition to the band repertoire.

Piano students can most easily get to know and enjoy chamber music through four-hands playing. It is no accident that this volume makes reference to the title of Haydn's famous piece Il maestro e lo scolare, since the four-hands etudes it contains provide opportunities for teachers and pupils to make music together. The teacher can always play the more difficult part (this is sometimes the 'Secondo', sometimes the 'Primo') and the student the easier one.

Den angehenden Pianisten lässt sich die Kammermusik am leichtesten durch Stücke für vier Hände vertraut und beliebt machen. Der Band weist nicht umsonst auf den Namen des bekannten Haydn Werkes Il maestro e lo scolare hin, da die Etüden dieser Ausgabe Schülern und Lehrern die Möglichkeit zum gemeinsamen Musizieren bieten. Der Lehrer kann immer die schwierigere (diese ist einmal die 'Secondo', ein anderes Mal die 'Primo'), der Schüler die leichtere Stimme spielen.

A poignent and profound text with a beautiful melody, perfect for All Saints, funerals, or any time of remembering. [The following story comes from the Brokering family, and might be great to include in the long description. I have a whole email from his daughter about it--DCS] Herb Brokering wrote this text to honor his wife Lois and the legacy of their faithful love. On the day she died in a car accident, he happened to be reciting this poem to a group of ministers and thereafter kept it in his shirt pocket for weeks to come as a tribute to Lois and a comfort to his family.
