What goes on in the minds of chamber musicians as they express their feelings through music? Here are five imaginary conversations for flute, oboe, and bassoon, using music rather than words. Sometimes harmonious, sometimes impatient, but like any carefully observed conversation, always complex and interesting. Performers and listeners alike will enjoy puzzling over what the composer had in mind with: 1. How Do You Do?, 2. Let’s Discuss, 3. I Hear You, 4. Then on the Other Hand, 5. Outta Here.

DRIVING MUSIC was commissioned by the New York Classical Players for their inaugural concert. Thework took inspiration from Needham’s seemingly-constant travel schedule in the spring and summer of2010. The work was written, in part, in various cities across the country, on a number of planes, and innumerous car rides (as a passenger, of course). To highlight the composer’s travels, the work is cast ina series of contrasting musical vignettes, with each section representing a place Needham was in whilesketching the work.

This piece begins with a long bell striking constant quarter notes, setting up the fast-paced introduction. As the title implies, Time Shift switches rhythmic feels, including a 3 against 2 with changing meters throughout. Its middle section uses segmental chorales, reminiscent of famous band works, before moving back into a quicker time signature. Time Shift is filled with a variety of styles, which create a great amount of interest throughout the work.

The Boars Head Carol is a traditional English Carol. This TBB arrangement was written as a processional for a Renaissance festival to be sung by a high school varsity level mens chorus. The boar's head feast is said to have been the special first dish at formal feasts around the year for many centuries, especially at Yuletide. The piano accompaniment contains brass-like interludes throughout as an interaction with the male voices. Page 8 contains transitional material with the repeated text laudes Domino building up to the final verse with a slower, broader tempo as marked. Latin text translation: Verse 1: Quot estis in convivio As you all feast so heartily Verse 2: Let us servire cantico. Let us serve with a song. Verse 3: In Reginensi atrio. In the Queens hall. Chorus: Caput apri defero Lo, behold the head I bring Reddens laudes Domino Giving praise to God we sing.  .

This graceful arrangement elegantly weaves together four classic winter melodies: Waltz of the Snowflakes from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, Skater's Waltz by Émile Waldteufel, In the Bleak Midwinter by Gustav Holst, and Winter from The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi. Scored in 3/4 time with a consistent tempo throughout, the piece allows every section of the orchestra to shine with melodic material. The softly joyful key of D major with optional harp (playable by piano) and glockenspiel will add a moment of classical lightness to any winter or holiday concert.
