Espana e Italia mantuvieron unas fuertes relaciones culturales a lo largo de su historia. El mismo Miguel de Cervantes recorrio en su juventud la peninsula italiana. Las relaciones politicas tuvieron su culminacion en 1759 cuando Carlos de Borbon paso de ser rey de Napoles a trasladarse a Madrid al aceptar la corona espanola. Los intercambios culturales tambien incluyeron la musica, como se muestra en la presencia en Espana del gran castrato Farinelli o compositores como el piacentino Corselli, el napolitano Domenico Scarlatti o el luques Luigi Boccherini. Gran parte de estos intercambios habian tenido una base institucional, en torno a la monarquia, las casas nobiliarias o la Iglesia. Pero a partir de 1750 asistimos a un desarrollo de vias mas informales, que enriquecen el panorama. Se abren asi nuevas luces y perspectivas a estos flujos musicales entre Espana e Italia, con temas como el mercado, la edicion, la ensenanza, el comercio de la opera o los conciertos. Este libro explora estos trasvases musicales entre Espana e Italia entre las decadas centrales del siglo xviii y la primera mitad del siglo xix, un periodo en el que se produce el paso hacia la sociedad contemporanea.

Resignation was composed in memory of one of Ed Kiefer's best friends. Evoking the struggle of coming to grips with the loss of a dear friend, the piece is based on the hymn, My Shepherd Will Supply My Need. It is dramatic, heartfelt, and overwhelmingly beautiful. As Hans Christian Andersen once said, When words fail, music speaks..

Neither could I write a piece that could come close to reflecting his kind spirit, wit, personality or talent. In fact, it was almost impossible for me to write anything at all. My own grief and the stages of my grief kept getting in the way. I ended up with a setting of the hymn-tune, Resignation. Resigned.  To the fact that he is no longer with us. I know he is in a better place, but we are not. We miss him very much. And so, My Shepherd Will Supply My Need seems to speak to those of us he left behind. I apologize if this piece does not reflect your special feelings for him or help you celebrate his moving on. Unfortunately, I could only put down what I have come to accept and hope in some way it may speak to any of you that knew him or to others of you who have also lost a close friend. My Shepherd Will Supply My Need. That is my hope and my hope for you.Although technically very easy, this composition requires a maturity of musicianship to be performed properly. The Bb contrabass clarinet part is integral to the composition, but there are cues in the tuba part if you need them.  Make sure you bring horns to the fore at m. 53 and the low brass at m. 59 so the melody can be heard without effort. Exaggerate dynamics to bring more emotion to the piece. Be careful not to diminuendo too soon near the end or it will be difficult to diminish even further at the very end, where the lone clarinetist holds over a couple of measures, fading into nothing. I hope your students will enjoy this piece and take from it a greater appreciation for the way making music can express feelings.
