For me, as someone who considers myself far removed from Christian spirituality and closer to the concept of Immanence than to any form of Transcendence, it was obvious to me that I would not compose a Miserere comparable to Alesandro Scarlatti's Lamentazioni. It was also my wish to theatricalise the subject matter, following pagan rituals which appear to have been retained in the monastic Tenebrae services up to Renaissance times. In the series of sequences in which silence plays a prominent role, a path leads to strange rites in which the listeners are invited to stamp their feet on the ground, creating waves of thundering sound, or accompany the chanting of texts. Three sopranos take on an instrumental role, deploying a broad range of vocal sounds from aspirations to screams. Thierry Pecou.

This Big‐League chart spotlights all of the sections of the jazz ensemble with high‐energy and verve. Opening with an effective piano solo/rhythm section soli, Welcome to the Majors features a driving, lite‐shuffle beat that propels the breezy melody and crisp ensembles over a set of slightly altered blues changes. A 4‐bar kick‐off leads to a tenor sax solo, and this solo section may be opened up for other players as desired. An 8 bar trombone soli leads way to the incisive and biting shout chorus that builds and builds. Fresh, spirited, and lots of fun for concert and contest alike. A real home run!

The opening section of Fever Dreams is a sultry conversation between three melodramatic characters. The exchange becomes increasingly heated until a sudden climactic break leads into a driving and playful scherzo, full of humor and dialogue. This tour de force marks a notable contribution to the piccolo repertoire.

The FANFARE was commissioned and premiered by the Washington Festival Orchestra in 1978. Other orchestras which performed the FANFARE requested additional movements, resulting in the addition of the INTERLUDE and FINALE a few years later, premiered by the Twin Cities Symphony in 1983. This short fanfare has a lively theme in mixed meters (often juxtaposing 2/2 and 3/8) with a slow middle section which leads back to a return of the theme. FANFARE, INTERLUDE AND FINALE was the first orchestral work composed by Gwyneth Walker after her years of conservatory training, and a spirit of freshness and enthusiasm of a composer starting her professional career can be heard in her approach.
