Rehearsal Suggestions:Sunrise March is so named for the opening motive, which quickly ascends like the rising sun. Playable at the end of the first year of instruction, the march offers several teaching tools: independent parts playing in imitation or call and response, dynamic markings, staccato and accent markings, and limited accidentals. Every group gets the melody at some point. This would make a great selection for the end of year concert (especially a demonstration-style concert), or for taking to an adjudicated festival. This prepares students for more traditional full-length concert marches. Keep that in mind when rehearsing.Make sure students observe the articulation and dynamic markings in mm. 6 and 7. Notice the slurs over the 4-3 suspension in m. 10. Where optional divisi is marked in the low brass or reed voices, the division is preferred, but if necessary, play only the lower notes. Pay careful attention to balance at m. 23. The melody is always the most important.Note the accidentals in mm. 29 and 30. This is a great place to reinforce accidentals through repeated notes. After m. 31, note that the melody is fractured, and students will need to count multi-rests and know where the melody is. Focus on a full sound from m. 47 to the end. The stinger note in the low voices at the end should be played for its full value and release with a vowel sound, not the tongue!

A bird is considered to have fledged at the time when its wing muscles and feathers are sufficiently developed for flight. When young birds have reached this stage, but are still dependent on their parents for care and feeding, they are referred to as fledglings. This piece musically follows a fledgling as it begins the long process of learning to fly. It starts out tentatively, gains ability, struggles, and then eventually soars.In all instances where a longer note is tied to an eighth note, players should release, stopping the sound, on the eighth note. For example, a dotted half note tied to an eighth note should have a definite stop at the beginning of beat 4.Measures 20–26: The sudden changes in dynamics should be exaggerated to produce a somewhat pronounced awkward effect.Measures 52–57: The flute, oboe, and clarinet parts should produce a constant flowing sound in the slurred eighth notes, breathing on the eighth-note rests.Measures 66–67: Make sure the staccatos are very short and pronounced, but do not cover the melody in the low brass and reeds.Measures 72–86: Emphasize the accents on the upbeats in the percussion instruments.Measure 83: Emphasize the crescendo to forte and then immediately drop to mezzo-forte.

SKU: CF.BAS88F

Composed by James Lockett. Bas. Set of Score and Parts. Duration 1:30. Carl Fischer Music #BAS88F. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.BAS88F).

ISBN 9781491165133. UPC: 680160924042. Key: G major.

Using just 6 notes, Arco Echo explores G major in first position using only easy quarter- and half-note rhythms. A smooth detaché call-and-response between upper and lower string sections will help young students learn to listen across the ensemble, building confidence in simple three-part harmony with doubled Violin 2/Viola and doubled Cello/Bass. Optional piano is included for additional support, making this a fun first venture into independent counting.
Arco Echo is a lighthearted piece for beginning string orchestra. It falls within the range of the first year player. Young musicians can work on basic detaché bowing skills with a nice mix of half and quarter note rhythms, including some rests and minimal dynamic changes. All of the sections get a chance to play parts of the melody with an echo game of call-and-response between upper and lower string sections. The harmonies are very clear and direct, resulting in a solid concert selection that will give the young orchestra a big, confident sound.

Method for the French Horn - Vol.4 is the fourth volume out of seven of a method for French Horn by Daniel Bourgue. Following the knowledge and technique acquired in the first three volumes, this book will help the players to progress further, with the help of comments to ensure they maintain their good techniques. This fourth volume focuses on scales and articulations, bars on 3/8, 6/8 and their rests/rhythms, low notes, transpositions in G and in A and on waltzes and marches among other aspects. Some revisions are also part of this book. Daniel Bourgue is a French musician who plays the Cello and the Horn and who studied harmonies and chamber music. He played around the world as a soloist, and worked as a great pedagogue too..

Composer's Notes: The last few years I have become increasingly involved in some peculiar mathematical formulas called “fractals”. These formulas, used in the fast growing field of “Chaos theory”, are relatively simple, but they generate fascinating and surprisingly “organic” patterns when shown graphically on a computer screen, or played as music. One should think that such a mathematical approach would lead to sterile and 'theoretical' music. The sound world of Stonewave, however, is not one you would associate with math books. The steady, insistent pulse, and the use of sequences put squarely up against each other or divided by long rests suggest an invisible ritual. A ritual for what? Well then, let it be a ritual for the exorcism of some 'evil spirits' which now ride our part of the world under the name of Liberalism, making people the servants of the Market Forces instead of vice versa. Stonewave is therefore an incantation, as it seems that only divine forces can save European culture from a political system that proclaims the Jungle Law as the guiding principle in social and cultural life.
