When I found Born on a Fishing Boat in an issue of Poetry While You Wait in Colorado Springs, Colorado, I was immediately struck by Ms. Lius simple, evocative words. While I sat in the cafe on a cold January day waiting for my coffee, I closed my eyes and envisioned what it might be like to lie on my back in a small fishing boat and look up at the stars. I stole the free booklet of poetry and trudged home in the snow, already hearing the piano part in my mind. I would encourage anyone who is interested in learning more about Mei-Li Lius life and work to purchase her book Ten Thousand Miles from Home, published by Dragon Press (ISBN: 9780976137009). I sincerely hope I have honored her art with this setting. Born on a Fishing Boat I was born on fishing boat Lying in basket Ocean tide rocking me to sleep Papa fishing all-day and all-night Mamas washings hanging on line Above my head Misty sea washing my face Northern wind whispering to my ears Angel of sea kissing my forehead Beneath paper moon My little arms out from the cradle Out to the breeze Happy, born on fishing boat By the sea.

Cyclops is intended for first-year band students. Young players will better understand the character and mood of the music once they are given a description of the beastly, mythological giant with only one eye in middle of its forehead. An effective performance will require young players to adhere as closely as possible to the suggested tempo with a continuous marcato articulation. The piece has only one theme which is first heard in the low brass and low woodwinds from m. 9 to m. 21. Students should be made aware of the need for balance between the theme and the countermelody at m. 41. Percussion will learn to execute a crescendo at m. 61. Wind instruments will learn to properly perform ff with accents at m. 63. If a Tam-tam is not available, many electronic keyboards can closely simulate the sound. Thank you for choosing this composition. Joseph Compello.

ISBN 9790006531448. 27 x 19 cm inches. Text Language: Latin, German. Preface: John Michael Cooper. Text: Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy.

The first great orchestral psalm

Mendelssohn's first great orchestral psalm took almost six years to complete, from the initial sketches and the first version of 1830 to the final version of 1835. Its premiere which took place at the Leipzig Gewandhaus did not take place until 1838.
Unlike his other orchestral psalms, Mendelssohn took the Latin words from the Vulgate as his principal text which stems from Psalm 113. When he later prepared his own German translation, he made use of Psalm 115 from the Luther Bible.

This edition by the leading Mendelssohn authority John Michael Cooper incorporates all the relevant sources. In accordance with the work's genesis, the vocal parts are underlaid with the Latin text, and the German text appears underneath.
Rounding off this Urtext edition are an informative Foreword and detailed Critical Commentary.

The piano reduction stems from Mendelssohn himself.

* Text underlay in two languages (Lat/Ger)
* Piano reduction by the composer
