Orchestra Cello, Contrabass, Piano, Viola, Violin 1, Violin 2, Violin 3 - Grade 3 SKU: CF.CAS112F Composed by Peter Terry. Concert String Orchestra (CAS). Full score. With Standard notation. 12 pages. Carl Fischer Music #CAS112F. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.CAS112F). ISBN 9781491151686. UPC: 680160909186. 9 x 12 inches. Peter Terry's Unleashed?makes for an impressive concert opener that is the musical equivalent of unleashing a caged animal. The piece is exciting from start to finish, with energetic and bold material that students will love to play. Everyone wants to be unleashed, to be set free of restraints. This piece captures the exhilaration of being set into motion with unlimited optimism and energy. The piece is a rhythmic and propulsive gallop that spins off lyrical material as it drives to a climactic finish that is both exciting and fun. The piece opens with a robust first theme, then transitions on a rhythmic figure spun off from the opening material. The opening section repeats in variation with different orchestration. The more lyrical material that emerges should be brought out to balance the first theme and rhythmic figures from the first section. A development of the material from the opening follows, driving to a brief pause. This pause feels like it will lead to a contrasting lyrical theme, but the energy is just suspended for a second before the piece takes off again. The work finishes with a repeated-note transition back to variations on the opening material and a propulsive rush to the end. I enjoyed writing this piece and hope your students will enjoy playing these contrasting styles and that you will find the piece beneficial in teaching important musical concepts. ?????????Peter Terry, 2018.

Ein kurzweiliges, kontrastreiches Opus, angeregt durch das Rascher-Quartett, dem es auch gewidmet ist; keine experimentelle, aber instrumentengerechte, neue Musik, auf die Spiel- und Ausdrucksmoglichkeiten sowie auf den spezifischen Klang eines technisch und musikalisch anspruchsvollen Saxophon-Ensembles bezogen (Sopran - Alt- Tenor - Bariton)Funf suitenformig locker aneinander gereihte Satze (Funf ,,Blatter) werden durch ein dodekaphonisches Leitmotiv verknupft, das zu Anfang eines jeden Satzes erklingt.Im Circulo ostinato bestimmt diese Figur entscheidend den Verlauf des Stuckes; zu Beginn des Finales verdichtet sie sich zum vierstimmigen Kanon. Ostinate und rhythmische Formeln pragen den Charakter des ganzen Werkes.Allegro ruzzone (Ubermut)Ein knappes lebhaftes Eingangsstuck; auf dem Hohepunkt erscheint, wie ein Atemholen, ein melodisch-ausdrucksvoller Gedanke, der sich imitatorisch im Kreise dreht, ehe eine kurze Stretta in schnellem Tempo zum Pianissimoschluss fuhrt.Circulo ostinato (Kreisende Wiederholung) (Andante con moto)Der Mittelteil des Satzes entwickelt sich aus gestauten Tonwiederholungen und den melodischen Flosklen des Urthemas in immer neuen Anlaufen zu grosser Steigerung. Am Anfang und Ende steht ein mehrstimmiger Kanon, der um eine abwarts gerichtete chromatische Tonfolge kreist.Ballo estatico (,,Entfesselter Tanz) (Allegro molto)In diesem Satz dominieren rhythmisch tanzerische und aggressive Elemente; drei verschiedene Episoden entfalten sich uber ostinaten Bassbewegungen, die letzte gerat zur ,,freien Variation uber Debussys (,,Golliwoggs cake walk aus den ,,Children's Corner).Sogno solitario (Einsamer Traum) (Andante)Der ,,langsame Satz des Quartetts wachst aus rezitativischem Beginn, uber einen ausdrucksvollen Mittelteil (mit engraumiger Melodik) bis zu einer ausgedehnten Trillerflache und dichten, abwarts sturzenden chromatischen Figuren (Quintolen), kehrt uber einen ruhigen Abschnitt (in tiefer Lage) zum Rezitativ zuruck, klingt verhalten aus.Fugato scherzando (Allegro molto)Ein virtuos humorvolles Finale, nach dem einleitenden vierstimmigen ,,Kreisel-Kanon des Leitmotivs entwickelt sich aus einem skurrilen Thema eine rhythmisch vertrackte Fuge, unterbrochen von einem trioahnlichen Intermezzo und wirkungsvoll turbulent zum befreienden Schluss gesteigert.(Jurg Baur)Bibliography:Gudelhofer, Matthias: Jurg Baur.

Solo Piano SKU: AP.36-M306491 Composed by Clara Wieck-Schumann. Performance Music Ensemble; Solo; Solo Piano. Master Piano Series. Score. LudwigMasters Publications #36-M306491. Published by LudwigMasters Publications (AP.36-M306491). UPC: 660355123672. English. Clara Schumann (1819-1896) wrote this work in 1853, creating seven variations on her husband's theme from his Bunte Blätter, Op. 99, No. 4 (Albumblätter) for piano. She presented the piece to Robert Schumann on his 43rd birthday in 1853, the year before his crippling mental breakdown, making this the final birthday that he would spend with his family. It is also among the last works that Clara Schumann composed for the piano. Johannes Brahms was inspired by Clara to compose his own Variations on a Theme by Robert Schumann, Op. 9, which he then dedicated to her. These products are currently being prepared by a new publisher. While many items are ready and will ship on time, some others may see delays of several months. $4.50 - See more - Buy online | | |

Hope Remains Within was commissioned by and composed for the Mount Nittany Middle School 7th and 8th Grade Concert Bands. Having heard the students of Mount Nittany perform another work of mine, I was very excited when their director, Johanna Steinbacher, approached me about writing a piece specifically for them. I knew right away that I wanted to write something that would tie in with their non-music curriculum in some way, but I wasn't exactly sure how, or what. Johanna talked to some of her students and learned that, in 7th grade, the students spend a good deal of time studying mythology in their English class. In particular, two clarinet students mentioned how much they enjoyed the story of Pandora. As such, I decided to use that story as the basis of this composition. Hope Remains Within doesn't attempt to re-tell the story, event by event, in musical terms. Instead, my goal was to address what seems to be one of the central issues of the Pandora myth. Though there are some variations, we probably all know the basics as told by the ancient Greek poet Hesiod. Zeus decides to punish Prometheus for stealing fire from heaven and giving it to humans. He and the other gods create Pandora, a beautiful and deceitful woman, and they give her to Prometheus's brother Epimetheus as a bride. Pandora is herself given a jar (according to many sources, jar seems to be a more accurate translation for what we commonly call Pandora's box) which contained numerous evils, diseases, and other pains. Out of curiosity, Pandora opens the jar and releases all of these evils into the world. But one thing remains in the jar: hope. The issue of hope seems to be one of the big interpretive questions of the Pandora myth. Why does hope remain within the jar? Why doesn't it come out of the jar to help humanity? Is hope being held on a pedestal of some sort? Is hope deliberately withheld from humanity? Why was hope in the jar with all those evils in the first place? I'm not enough of a mythological scholar to claim to have definitive answers to those questions, but these are the questions that I've tried to engage from a musical perspective in Hope Remains Within. I encourage the students and listeners to consider their own ideas of what hope is, and where you can find your own hope when needed. Musically, Hope Remains Within draws one of its main themes from the Prometheus Symphony by Alexander Skryabin (Scriabin). The note sequence F-D-Gb -F, heard near Hope's beginning played by alto saxophones and chimes, comes from the opening measures of Skyrabin's work. Given the important role that Prometheus plays in the Pandora myth, this seemed like an appropriate musical gesture to quote. This Prometheus motive is varied throughout the course of the piece, and even provides closure at the end, recast in a major key. Additionally, I have tried to involve a manageable amount of chromaticism in this piece. I have worked from the key of Bb major, no doubt familiar to every student who has ever played an instrument in a band. But I have added three extra notes: Db, Gb, and Ab, which are drawn from the key of Bb minor. During the piece's slow opening, I have allowed these minor key pitches to mingle freely within the Bb major tonality, adding extra color and (I hope!) beauty. As the piece progresses, though, the tempo increases, and we lose sense of the Bb major key entirely, and these extra notes play a more important role. But finally, Bb major returns triumphantly and all the extra notes are gone, except for a brief memory near the very end. (Ok, there are a couple of E-naturals that sneak in there along the way. I couldn't resist.). Hope Remains Within was commissioned by and composed for the Mount Nittany Middle School 7th and 8th Grade Concert Bands.

Out of curiosity, Pandora opens the jar and releases all of these evils into the world. But one thing remains in the jar: hope. The issue of hope seems to be one of the big interpretive questions of the Pandora myth. Why does hope remain within the jar? Why doesn't it come out of the jar to help humanity? Is hope being held on a pedestal of some sort? Is hope deliberately withheld from humanity? Why was hope in the jar with all those evils in the first place? I'm not enough of a mythological scholar to claim to have definitive answers to those questions, but these are the questions that I've tried to engage from a musical perspective in Hope Remains Within. I encourage the students and listeners to consider their own ideas of what hope is, and where you can find your own hope when needed. Musically, Hope Remains Within draws one of its main themes from the Prometheus Symphony by Alexander Skryabin (Scriabin). The note sequence F-D-Gb -F, heard near Hope's beginning played by alto saxophones and chimes, comes from the opening measures of Skyrabin's work. Given the important role that Prometheus plays in the Pandora myth, this seemed like an appropriate musical gesture to quote. This Prometheus motive is varied throughout the course of the piece, and even provides closure at the end, recast in a major key. Additionally, I have tried to involve a manageable amount of chromaticism in this piece. I have worked from the key of Bb major, no doubt familiar to every student who has ever played an instrument in a band. But I have added three extra notes: Db, Gb, and Ab, which are drawn from the key of Bb minor. During the piece's slow opening, I have allowed these minor key pitches to mingle freely within the Bb major tonality, adding extra color and (I hope!) beauty. As the piece progresses, though, the tempo increases, and we lose sense of the Bb major key entirely, and these extra notes play a more important role. But finally, Bb major returns triumphantly and all the extra notes are gone, except for a brief memory near the very end. (Ok, there are a couple of E-naturals that sneak in there along the way. I couldn't resist.). Hope Remains Within was commissioned by and composed for the Mount Nittany Middle School 7th and 8th Grade Concert Bands. Having heard the students of Mount Nittany perform another work of mine, I was very excited when their director, Johanna Steinbacher, approached me about writing a piece specifically for them. I knew right away that I wanted to write something that would tie in with their non-music curriculum in some way, but I wasn’t exactly sure how, or what. Johanna talked to some of her students and learned that, in 7th grade, the students spend a good deal of time studying mythology in their English class. In particular, two clarinet students mentioned how much they enjoyed the story of Pandora.As such, I decided to use that story as the basis of this composition. Hope Remains Within doesn’t attempt to re-tell the story, event by event, in musical terms. Instead, my goal was to address what seems to be one of the central issues of the Pandora myth. Though there are some variations, we probably all know the basics as told by the ancient Greek poet Hesiod. Zeus decides to punish Prometheus for stealing fire from heaven and giving it to humans. He and the other gods create Pandora, a beautiful and deceitful woman, and they give her to Prometheus’s brother Epimetheus as a bride. Pandora is herself given a jar (according to many sources, “jar†seems to be a more accurate translation for what we commonly call “Pandora’s boxâ€) which contained numerous evils, diseases, and other pains. Out of curiosity, Pandora opens the jar and releases all of these evils into the world. But one thing remains in the jar: hope.The issue of hope seems to be one of the big interpretive questions of the Pandora myth. Why does hope remain within the jar?
