Imstrumentation: Solo Horn & Wind Ensemble Duration: Composed: 2004 Published by: Dunsinane Music Composer's Note: Great Scott! was commissioned by Mary Ann Craig, Director of Bands at Montclair State University for the MSU Wind Ensemble, and is dedicated to Mr. Jeffrey Scott. A work in one movement, Great Scott! may be heard as a stream of consciousness in the mind of the soloist. The work opens with the soloist quietly reflecting. The remnants of a dance tune are heard in the lower brass, as if from a radio, and the soloist unselfconsciously incorporates this material into his musings. He is joined by the ensemble, which reiterates and makes emphatic the soloist’s reflections. A variation of the dance tune, now integrated with the soloist’s ideas, is heard in the saxophones, soon joined by the French horn, gradually leading to a quieter section that again incorporates and expands the gathering musical materials. This leads to the central, lyric section of the piece—where the soloist returns to his initial musings, now amplified by the ensemble. This time, the dance music is not heard separately—in essence, it has been re-constructed by the soloist with contributions from the ensemble. A fanfare-like section follows, featuring brass and timpani. After a brief pause, the opening material is heard a final time, now with an active, rapid surface, as the piece rushes to a close.

For the 20th anniversary season of the Cassatt String Quartet, Godfrey created a three-movement work that has been hailed as some of the most ambitious chamber music we have heard from any living composer. (New Music Connoisseur) Built on the concept of looking back/looking forward, Ricordanza-Speranzo opens with a quiet, reflective movement, before a furious second movement of ever-shifting meter (con furore). The third movement begins with a piano solo passage. Natalie Zhu, who performed the Philadelphia premiere with the Daedalus Quartet, says, There's a huge piano solo at the beginning, and it's almost like an improvisation. It's written out but it feels like you're improvising. When the strings join in, Zhu says, It's almost like a waltz. It's lively and pretty, and the strings and piano are having fun. We're trading melodies. It's almost like a conversation between the instruments.

Little Hymn was composed by award-winning composer Simon Dobson (b.1981) to provide an alternative to the traditional hymn tune settings that provide one of the foundations of the brass band repertoire. This simple, haunting melody begins on a brass quartet without cornets. The full band joins for the second part, which rises to a richly textured climax before receding to a quiet, reflective close.

Arranged for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir and optional 3 octaves of handchimes. Level 2-. This quiet, reflective arrangement by Patricia Hurlbutt is ideal for any calm, meditative moment in worship. A simple delicate opening underscored with haunting chords gives way to a verse with the melody on bass chimes overtopped with delicate treble bell chords. An unexpected key change adds intensity and a sense of urgency before returning to the opening key and fading prayerfully away.

Suitable for any celebratory occasion, Psalm 65 is a vibrant concert work and a great joy to sing.

The Island of Saints and Scholars is an old nickname for Ireland dating back to the early Middle Ages. This original work is a reflection upon Ireland's rich and turbulent history, which can be heard in the lyrical melodic phrases, ever-changing meter, and moments of dissonance. The rhythmic profile of the piece was suggested by a type of Old Irish verse that, among other features, carries seven syllables per line. The quiet opening gains in intensity during an extended stringendo into the fast-paced middle section (Vigorously), where watching and listening carefully are imperative. Later, a second extended stringendo guides the ensemble into the spirited finale (Presto).The Island of Saints and Scholars is an old nickname for Ireland dating back to the early Middle Ages.

The text of Alfred, Lord Tennyson's There is Sweet Music Here is a wonderful example of word painting. Keep this in mind while learning to sing the music and try to capture the different scenes created through these famous words. The first two measures of accompaniment outline the opening chord in the voices. Crescendo to the word music every time it occurs. In mm. 710, the vocals cascade gently into a dissonance that develops into a full, rich sound. Allow the piano to support the unison lines in mm. 1417 as well as those that contain three-part singing. The piano establishes a consistent undulating tempo in mm. 2225, as if lulling someone to sleep. Be intentional with word/syllabic stress when singing through the quarter notes. Maintain a consistent tempo when singing the eighth notes in mm. 3336. The chord progression helps establish the coolness of the mosses and ivies. Notice the melodic movement in mm. 3738 reflecting the craggy ledge and hanging poppy followed by the unison sleep which ushers in the return of the original melody within the accompaniment. Linger with quiet, full and supported singing during the last three measures.The text of Alfred, Lord Tennyson'sA There is Sweet Music HereA is a wonderful example of word painting.
