Inspired by a modern turbine wind farm, this excellent concert overture is extremely effective and accessible. Interesting effects recreate the sound of gusting winds moving from one side of the stage to the other. A wonderful way to incorporate an overture-style work on your program without having to resort to the generic overture form or sound!

This musical portrait of a picturesque harbor town on the Irish coast seeks to communicate the feeling of serenity that would accompany sitting on the dock and staring out to sea. While musically satisfying, the piece's phrasing demands are very accessible. Subtle ocean drum and ship's bell sounds come together with a beautiful melody and creative contrapuntal writing to create a moving work for developing ensembles.

Soaring is a mode of flight in which height is gained slowly by using air that is moving upwards. Written for music educator’s Randy Heuvelman’s 30 years of service to the Woodland (Illinois) School District, Soaring paints a music portrait of dedication, compassion and intensity, all aspects of this educator’s tenure. A slower middle section alternating between choirs of woodwinds and brass paints a serene portrait with lush harmonies and soaring countermelodies. The extensive percussion scoring utilizes timbres that add and complement the completed musical setting. Soaring is truly one of David’s best works.

SKU: BT.GOB-000447-010

Composed by Carl Wittrock. Set (Score & Parts). 174 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000447-010. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000447-010).

In Scotland, the monster of Loch Ness is a hot issue, but the American state of Montana enjoys a comparable phenomenon going by the name of Montana Nessie.
In the western part of this remote state lies Flathead Lake: a lake of 45 kilometres /38miles in lenght and 24 kilometres /15 miles breath. At several places, its depth exeeds 100 metres.
Nessies discovery takes us back to the year 1889, when captain James Kerr aboard the passengership U.S.Grant was startled by a ship unknown to himsuddenly approaching his vessel across Flathead Lake.
However, it turned out not to be a ship but an undefinable animal of immense size.From that moment onwards, life would never be the same again in and around Flathead Lake.
The composer wasinspired by the story, and summarized the events into a symphonic poem, but from a surprising angle:that of the monster.

The exiting opening allows us to follow the monster in its natural surroundings.
The fast follow-up movement depictsMontana Nessie trotting and frolicking about the Montana woods and prairies.From its abode, it thorougly enjoys everything around it. This period abruptly ends in a short climax (Chimes).
The solo for cor anglais marks a new period in themonsters life.The presence of people has a paralizing effect and the apprehensive atmosphere of the slow movement may be felt profoundly.
The monster observes and mildly teases the ship. Abhor sounds force the ship to a withdrawal.
The movingmusical continuation depicts the triumphant monster dancing an ironic waltz.
The monsters fear and anger at the intrusion of his freedom run through the piece like continuous threads, and develop into the works final theme.

Ook Amerika kent, in navolging van Loch Ness, haar monster met alle sterke verhalen eromheen. Dit Amerikaanse monster werd in 1889 voor het eerst gezien door de kapitein van een toeristenboot, varende op Flathead Lake in de staat Montana.
Wittrock schildert niet enkel de gebeurtenissen maar kruipt in de huid van het monster.

Het programmatische werk beschrijft op vaak ontroerende en soms angstaanjagende wijze het leven van Montana Nessie.
Aanknopingspunten in dit werk zijnde geboorte (het begin), de eerste levensfase met oerkreten (allegro) en de verwondering en bewondering van de natuur (hobosolo).
Het tweede gedeelte symboliseert de spanning tussen mens en monster tijdens de spannende boottocht op FlatheadLake.
Het derde deel brengt het monster aan het dansen in een aandoenlijke wals vol ironie en zelfspot. Rode draad en afsluitend thema is de angst en boosheid van Montana Nessie op de vrijheidsinbreuk.
Een meesterwerk!
