Chamber Music Cello, Recording, Viola, Violin SKU: CF.BE10F For String...(+)
Chamber Music Cello, Recording, Viola, Violin SKU: CF.BE10F For String Trio and Recording. Composed by Paul Lansky. Full score. With Standard notation. 32 pages. Duration 19:37. Carl Fischer Music #BE10F. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.BE10F). ISBN 9780825891175. UPC: 798408091170. 8.5 x 11 inches. Key: G major. Commissioned by the Princeton-Columbia Electronic Music Center for Speculum Musicae in 1981. The first movement, In Preparation, is a study in tuning and intonation and is based on the open strings in perfectly tuned fifths, with the violins D string tuned 294 hertz. The first moments of the piece provide opportunity to tune to the tape part. (This tuning probably differs imperceptibly from a tempered tuning since the E string of the violin is only 1/33 of a semitone sharper then in a tempered system and the C strings of the viola and cello 1/33 of a semitone flatter.) Most subsequent pitches in the movement are either the open strings or major and minor thirds above and below the open strings. The minor thirds will be slightly sharp with respect to equal tempered tuning about 15 cents or 1/6 of a semitone and the major thirds will be slightly flat about 14 cents, or one seventh of a semitone. Listen to the tape part as a guide. All harmonics in this movement are to be played as natural harmonics and open strings are to be used whenever possible. In the second movement, At a Distance, the tape part largely doubles selected pitches in the string parts and should be thought of as a backdrop rather then counterpart. In this and the remaining movements equal tempered tuning is used though it will probably not be necessary to retune the instruments for this reason alone. The third movement, In Practice, is a study in modes of performance particularly with respect to rhythmic rigidity and flexibility. While the tape part may seem to bend and sway a great deal, the string parts are to be played with as much rhythmic precision as possible. At many points it may be necessary to delay or anticipate 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 are counter-pointed and counter-posed. Here the beat is quite accurate although the notation of the synthetic saxophone part is only approximate. All the tape parts are based on computer reprocessed violin except for parts of the fourth movement in which synthetic saxophone is used. The tape part was synthesized on the IBM 3033 and 3081 computers at Princeton University and converted at the Winham Laboratory. The violin source was performed by Cyrus Stevens.

Orchestra SKU: SU.94010400 For Orchestra. Composed by James Lee III. Orchestra. Study Score. Subito Music Corporation #94010400. Published by Subito Music Corporation (SU.94010400). 2,1 2,1 2,1 2,1; 4331; timp, perc(3), cel, hp; stgs Duration: 11' Composed: 2013 Published by: Subito Music Publishing Performance materials available on rental: Alas! Babylon’s Final Sunset is another installment in my series of works that musically comment on the biblical books of Daniel and Revelation. The principal source of inspiration for this works comes from the 18th chapter of the book of Revelation. This chapter states that the career of Babylon the Great is finally coming to an end. The music begins with a mysterious pianissimo tremolo accompanied by tam-tam and bass drum. The initial flourishes in the oboes and English horn serve as the principal motive of warning. As the music continues, there are varying degrees of agitation among the strings and woodwinds. Throughout the work there are rhythmic motives in the brass, percussion, and various woodwind instruments that sing and speak Babylon is Fallen in triple meter. As the tutti ensemble arrives at a climax, the orchestral texture becomes thinner and slightly transparent. As the music continues, the opening motive returns in the oboes, however the counterpoint produces a series of solo laments. These passages are intended to provide picturesque images of these words: And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee. and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. Rev. 18:22-24 The following passages musically comment on the historical career of Babylon with a sense of her impending destruction. The series of laments transforms into the more emphatic rhythmic motive Babylon is Fallen. The orchestral texture begins to become more condense, once again, with the initial flourishes of, but with notable variations. Finally, the celesta, harp, oboes, English horn, and strings sing profundities that are finally transformed into a minor mode tonality that fades away with the ringing of the tam-tam. Babylon has finally seen her last sunset. $36.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

Mixed choir SKU: FG.55011-348-0 Composed by Matthew Whittall. Score. Fennica Gehrman #55011-348-0. Published by Fennica Gehrman (FG.55011-348-0). ISBN 9790550113480. Shiki began as a request for a short winter-themed piece for the Hamalais-Osakunnan Laulajat choir in Helsinki. It eventually grew into a four seasons-type cycle on haiku by a 20th century Japanese monk Santoka Taneda. The music of Shiki is a progression through various states of near-stasis. The main impression the composer wished to convey was the one of absolute stillness at the heart of each scene, of communion with the outer world, as if the viewer were drawing the landscape into him, and at the same time dissolving himself into it. The voices are treated texturally, as well as textually, moving on slow masses, with the soft but precisecely colored vowels of Japanese creating the basic sounds, and the sharper consonants giving them shape and definition. $21.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 4 to 6 weeks | | |
