Issued in 1966, the enduring popularity of this novelty number for young bands can best be explained by its appealing simplicity and practical flexibility. All that's needed is at least one low instrument to cover the bass part (trombone, baritone, tenor sax, tuba, bass clarinet) and any combination of higher instruments for the treble part. Musically it's a 12-bar blues featuring a staccato walking bass line for low winds punctuated by a rhythmic, repeated-pitch pattern for upper winds. Beginners who can play just two notes can even play along, and the final chorus offers some dramatic options by having the band stand the first time through, then playing it one more time! as an encore after applause. Duration 2:00.

As If is Paul Lansky at the genesis of his computer music powers. Here he explores the relationship between pre-recorded and live performers, forcing a re-examination of the concepts of both composition and performance. Lansky worked with an early IBM computer (1981) for As If, a far cry from the powerful computers and complex algorithms he would later create. Duration: 19'37.Commissioned by the Princeton-Columbia Electronic Music Center for SpeculumMusicae in 1981.The first movement, In Preparation, is a study in tuning and intonation and isbased on the open strings in perfectly tuned fifths, with the violin’s D stringtuned 294 hertz. The first moments of the piece provide opportunity to tuneto the tape part. (This tuning probably differs imperceptibly from a temperedtuning since the E string of the violin is only 1/33 of a semitone sharper then ina tempered system and the C strings of the viola and ‘cello 1/33 of a semitoneflatter.) Most subsequent pitches in the movement are either the open stringsor major and minor thirds above and below the open strings. The minor thirdswill be slightly sharp with respect to equal tempered tuning about 15 cents or1/6 of a semitone and the major thirds will be slightly flat about 14 cents, or oneseventh of a semitone. Listen to the tape part as a guide. All harmonics in thismovement are to be played as natural harmonics and open strings are to be usedwhenever possible.In the second movement, At a Distance, the tape part largely doubles selectedpitches in the string parts and should be thought of as a backdrop rather thencounterpart. In this and the remaining movements equal tempered tuning is usedthough it will probably not be necessary to retune the instruments for this reasonalone.The third movement, In Practice, is a study in modes of performance particularlywith respect to rhythmic rigidity and flexibility. While the tape part may seemto bend and sway a great deal, the string parts are to be played with as muchrhythmic precision as possible. At many points it may be necessary to delay oranticipate beats in order to coincide with the arrival of beats in the tape part,though in general the quarter equals 120 is accurate.In the fourth movement, In Distinction, different kinds of musical conceptions arecounter-pointed and counter-posed. Here the beat is quite accurate although thenotation of the synthetic saxophone part is only approximate.All the tape parts are based on computer reprocessed violin except for parts ofthe fourth movement in which synthetic saxophone is used. The tape part wassynthesized on the IBM 3033 and 3081 computers at Princeton University andconverted at the Winham Laboratory. The violin source was performed by CyrusStevens.

Beau soir seems to have inspired musicians to make their own arrangements - for violin, cello, saxophone quartet, or even for five-part chamber choir and piano, as in this version by Denis Rouger. Unlike the instrumental versions, this one retains Paul Bourget's text: the poetic depiction of a sunset on a mild summer evening, on which light and shade merge into one another like the rhythm and harmony in Debussy's setting. It is not an unclouded depiction, but the recognition of our own finiteness. This art song was originally composed not for chamber choir, but for solo voice and piano. Denis Rouger has carefully adapted it to suit the requirements and expressive possibilities offered by a larger ensemble, without losing the any of the qualities of the original in the process. Each part in the choir has a melodic line drawn from the harmonic and rhythmic framework. In the process, the variety and refinement of the choral language combines with an enormous flexibility in form and expression, as French melodies or German art song demand from a soloist and pianist. The songs have been recorded by the figure humaine chamber choir on the CD Kennst du das Land ... (Carus 83.495).

In this dramatic and powerful work, Ruth Elaine Schram imagines the responses of other witnesses at Calvary, creating short dramatic monologues for each: the contemptuous soldier; the crucified thief's sympathetic sibling; the scornful priest; the anguished shepherd; the grieving mother of Christ; and the heartbroken disciple, searching for answers. Her remarkable score conveys Christ's words deftly and passionately, and the music is both tuneful and easily prepared. Appropriate for choirs of all sizes, it offers a small orchestra accompaniment for larger choirs and an intimate instrumental reduction to accompany smaller choirs. This selection offers additional flexibility with two options for the conclusion. For Lent and Holy Week, performances can end contemplatively with the congregation singing the beloved folk hymn What Wondrous Love Is This, while an alternate triumphant chorus of Alleluias is perfect for Easter worship.
