Erkki Melartin's six-movement Per speculum in enigmatae suite op. 93 for piano is published for the first time. The Latin title of the suite means Through a glass, darkly. Melartin probably compiled it from non-related pieces composed at different times. The biblical heading maybe has a spiritual rather than a religious connotation, though some of the movements - and the title - are programmatic. The first movement, Katedralen (The Cathedral), was possibly inspired by the architecture of Bruges (Brugge). The second movement, Die andere Seite (The Other Side) has expressionistic features, and possibly reflects the influence of Scriabin. In the third movement, Dunkle Traume (Dark Dreams), the chorale-like motifs in the left hand strive upwards, but always fall back again. Movement four, Schwester Namenlos (Sister Nameless is a short cameo in 5/4 time. Erinnerung is a Late-Romantic mood piece with unconventional phrasings. Melartin later expanded the early version of late 1913 with the closing Weihnachtsglocken (Christmas Bells).

Compelled by the force of dreams, Martin has created a series of twelve flute trios, each a single movement of four to five minutes in length. These trios correlate roughly to a calendar year, although the composer has assigned them titles from a personal myth. They can, of course, be played in any order or grouping. The twelve trios were completed during a trip to northwestern Michigan in the Summer of 2014.

A heartwarming song of appreciation to educators everywhere, with a text by the composer, this gentle, reflective selection will be the highlight of spring and graduation concerts.

Available in three versions, including a 2-part setting (with text adjustments) appropriate for elementary age singers.

Composed by Kathryn Griesinger. Carl Fischer Young String Orchestra Series. Full score. 8 pages. Carl Fischer Music #YAS211F. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.YAS211F).

This grade 2 original work was inspired by the tender poem of the same name by Sara Teasdale. Gentle phrases capture the wistful hope the poet felt as she contemplated the steadfast stars that burn steadily as long ago even as the world changed below. The lyrical melody provides developing players opportunities to work on tone, slurs, and expressive playing with one easy key change from D major to G major. A shift from major to minor tonality reflects the bittersweet stanzas that lament the loss of youthful dreams amidst the turmoil of life, even while admiring the faithful beauty of the celestial constellations. The dreamy piece evokes images of shimmering stars in the cold December night, with shadows shaken on the snow, offering a tranquil winter concert selection.
