Commissioned for a consortium of high school and college bands in the north Dallas region, FOR THEMYSTIC HARMONY is a 10-minute inspirational work in homage to Norwood and Elizabeth Dixon,patrons of the Fort Worth Symphony and the Van Cliburn Competition. Welcher draws melodic flavorfrom five American hymns, spirituals, and folk tunes of the 19th century. The last of these sources toappear is the hymn tune For the Beauty of the Earth, whose third stanza is the quatrain: “For the joy of earand eye, For the heart and mind’s delight, For the mystic harmony, Linking sense to sound and sight,â€giving rise to the work’s title. This work, commissioned for a consortium of high school bands in the north Dallas area, is my fifteenth maturework for wind ensemble (not counting transcriptions). When I asked Todd Dixon, the band director whospearheaded this project, what kind of a work he most wanted, he first said “something that’s basically slow,†butwanted to leave the details to me. During a long subsequent conversation, he mentioned that his grandparents,Norwood and Elizabeth Dixon, were prime supporters of the Fort Worth Symphony, going so far as to purchase anumber of high quality instruments for that orchestra. This intrigued me, so I asked more about his grandparentsand was provided an 80-page biographical sketch. Reading that article, including a long section about theirdevotion to supporting a young man through the rigors of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition fora number of years, moved me very much. Norwood and Elizabeth Dixon weren’t just supporters of the arts; theywere passionate lovers of music and musicians. I determined to make this work a testament to that love, and tothe religious faith that sustained them both. The idea of using extant hymns was also suggested by Todd Dixon,and this 10-minute work is the result.I have employed existing melodies in several works, delving into certain kinds of religious music more than a fewtimes. In seeking new sounds, new ways of harmonizing old tunes, and the contrapuntal overlaying of one tunewith another, I was able to make works like ZION (using 19th-century Revivalist hymns) and LABORING SONGS(using Shaker melodies) reflect the spirit of the composers who created these melodies, without sounding likepastiches or medleys. I determined to do the same with this new work, with the added problem of employingmelodies that were more familiar. I chose five tunes from the 19th century: hymns, spirituals, and folk-tunes.Some of these are known by differing titles, but they all appear in hymnals of various Christian denominations(with various titles and texts). My idea was to employ the tunes without altering their notes, instead using aconstantly modulating sense of harmony — sometimes leading to polytonal harmonizations of what are normallysimple four-chord hymns.The work begins and ends with a repeated chime on the note C: a reminder of steeples, white clapboard churchesin the country, and small church organs. Beginning with a Mixolydian folk tune of Caribbean origin presentedtwice with layered entrances, the work starts with a feeling of mystery and gentle sorrow. It proceeds, after along transition, into a second hymn that is sometimes connected to the sea (hence the sensation of water andwaves throughout it). This tune, by John B. Dykes (1823-1876), is a bit more chromatic and “shifty†than mosthymn-tunes, so I chose to play with the constant sensation of modulation even more than the original does. Atthe climax, the familiar spiritual “Were you there?†takes over, with a double-time polytonal feeling propelling itforward at “Sometimes it causes me to tremble.â€Trumpets in counterpoint raise the temperature, and the tempo as well, leading the music into a third tune (ofunknown provenance, though it appears with different texts in various hymnals) that is presented in a sprightlymanner. Bassoons introduce the melody, but it is quickly taken up by other instruments over three “verses,â€constantly growing in orchestration and volume. A mysterious second tune, unrelated to this one, interrupts it inall three verses, sending the melody into unknown regions.The final melody is “For the Beauty of the Earth.†This tune by Conrad Kocher (1786-1872) is commonly sung atThanksgiving — the perfect choice to end this work celebrating two people known for their generosity.Keeping the sense of constant modulation that has been present throughout, I chose to present this hymn in threegrowing verses, but with a twist: every four bars, the “key†of the hymn seems to shift — until the “Lord of all, toThee we praise†melody bursts out in a surprising compound meter. This, as it turns out, was the “mystery tuneâ€heard earlier in the piece. After an Ivesian, almost polytonal climax, the Coda begins over a long B( pedal. At first,it seems to be a restatement of the first two phrases of “For the Beauty†with long spaces between them, but it soonchanges to a series of “Amen†cadences, widely separated by range and color. These, too, do not conform to anykey, but instead overlay each other in ways that are unpredictable but strangely comforting.The third verse of “For the Beauty of the Earth†contains this quatrain:“For the joy of ear and eye, –For the heart and mind’s delightFor the mystic harmonyLinking sense to sound and sightâ€and it was from this poetry that I drew the title for the present work. It is my hope that audiences and performerswill find within it a sense of grace: more than a little familiar, but also quite new and unexpected. $150.00 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 24 hours - In Stock | | |

Chamber Music Bassoon, Clarinet, Flute, Horn, Oboe SKU: CF.WE22 For Wind Quintet. Composed by Paul Lansky. Set of Score and Parts. With Standard notation. 48+16+16+16+12+12 pages. Duration 25 minutes. Carl Fischer Music #WE22. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.WE22). ISBN 9781491153352. UPC: 680160910854. Key: F dorian. Composed by Paul Lanksy, The Long and Short of It for Wind Quintet was inspired by the third movement of Mozart's Serenade for Winds, K. 361. Lanksy was particularly drawn to Mozart's accompaniment, which he refers to as the ultimate expression of breath in music. Nothing else quite captures the same sense of wind instruments inhaling and exhaling as only winds can. Five of the movements in Lansky's composition use Mozart's rhythm accompanying a solo, and the remaining four movements focus on musical concepts such as rhythm, harmony, and counterpoint. This piece was commissioned by The Library of Congress' Carolyn Royall Just Fund and The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.
Performance Notes The Long and Short of It was inspired by the third movement Adagio of Mozarts Serenade for Winds K. 361. Ive long felt that the throbbing accompaniment was the ultimate expression of breath in music. Nothing else quite captures the same sense of wind instruments inhaling and exhaling as only winds can. The work consists of nine movements, a Prelude, a Postlude and three short Interludes, each consisting of Mozarts rhythm accompanying a solo for a different instrument in the quintet. There are four short main movements, each of which is more abstractly about a musical concept: rhythm, harmony, counterpoint.

ISBN 9781491160107. UPC: 680160918706. Key: D major. English. Traditional Scottish-Irish blessing. Blessing of Light is an excerpt from a Scottish-Irish benediction of anonymous authorship, which may have originated from old Celtic traditions. The rich, poetic language encourages hospitality for both friends and strangers and a charge to cultivate the inner spirit as a beacon of light for others. This SAB-setting offers additional options for soprano or alto divisi and comfortable ranges for men. Drawing primarily from the soundscape of a gently sweeping Mixolydian mode, this piece is designed to remind the listener of the distant past and its connection to our present. Modes have been utilized in many cultures at least since the earliest days of recorded history. Ancient Greek musical modes were revived and explored during the Middle Ages, and are sometimes considered the fathers of the scales we use today in what is often labeled tonal music, or music rooted in Western European musical practices. Blessing of Light is an accessible introduction to modal harmony for mixed choirs. Modes are characterized by combinations of half or whole steps that form a unique scale. The Mixolydian scale in this piece, for example, is identical to the major scale with the exception of a lowered (or flatted) 7th scale degree. For ease of use in sight-reading, key signatures are indicated by the melodic tonal center with the chromatically altered lowered 7th. When introducing this piece, it may be beneficial for the conductor to begin with warm-ups or vocalizes utilizing the scales below.

Drawing from the same tradition of Concert etudes as Brouwer, Diego-Pujol and Villa-Lobos - and perhaps even Sor, Bo Hanssons's 5 etudes are a fine example a compositions that blend both musical perfection and technical ambitions. 5 beautiful etudes meant for performances both on and off the concert stage .
Voices about 5 Etudes
The five etudes by Bo Hansson are of the same dignity and tradition as the studies by Fernando Sor. As did his predecessor, he successfully achieved these studies to suggest a complete sense of harmony and structure, completely in accordance with contemporary music. The musical and technical aims are clearly presented to the classical guitarist and offer great opportunity to develop ones own ability. I warmly recommend these beautiful pieces to any guitarist. Eric Lammers, MSC, Guitarist
Bo Hansson's 5 etudes is a welcome contribution to the guitar repertoire. These well-composed etudes are not only technical etudes in a traditional sense - they are beautiful, idiomatic pieces which incorporates many ingenious and exciting exercises. I am confident they will be regularly played - both for practising and in concerts. Warmly recommended!

Solo Voice (Tenor or Soprano) & Ensemble SKU: SU.27110040 For Solo Voice (Tenor or Soprano) & Ensemble. Composed by Raymond J. Lustig. Performance Score. Subito Music Corporation #27110040. Published by Subito Music Corporation (SU.27110040). PLEASE NOTE: Single copy performance score. 5 copies required for performance.With text fragments from Walt Whitman’s As I Ebb’d with the Ocean of Life, the lines below conjures mysterious ocean depths, where everything is in an extremely slow state of motion and evolution, very little can be perceived, and everything is trying to hide itself within its surroundings. There is a very high degree of freedom in how it is performed, to convey this sense of there being no one controlling element. Everything is drifting, slowly, imprecisely, unpredictably. Nothing is wrong unless it makes itself obvious, opening itself up to danger. Everyone wishes to be heard but not noticed; everyone is seeking to make as much of their sound as possible, but without drawing attention. So, as the accumulation of sustained overall sound builds, instruments may play correspondingly louder and still remain hidden within it. The composite texture, color, harmony, and dynamic will thus evolve continuously. solo voice (tenor or soprano), Clarinet, Violin, Contrabass & Piano Duration: 7-9’ Composed: 2018 Published by: Raymond J.

In 1892 Dvorak received a prestigious commission from New York to write a festive cantata to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's discovery of America. In response he wrote an impressive work in a very short space of time - his Te Deum, which expresses in celebratory style the old hymn of praise in four effective, contrasting sections. In preparing the Carus edition, a careful assessment has been made of the variant readings of the autograph score and first printed edition, drawing on these as sources. The result is that the work is newly available in a modern, scholarly edition. The complete performance material is available on sale.

ISBN 9790007225339. Language: Latin. When Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart returned to Salzburg in January 1779 from his journey to Paris, his luggage contained a single church music work - an unfinished Kyrie in E flat major (KV 296a) together with sketches for the Sanctus and Benedictus (KV 296c). In 2015, at the suggestion of the late Armin Kircher, Johann Simon Kreuzpointner set about compiling a five-movement setting of the mass from this material, also drawing on an unfinished cantata in E flat major (KV 429). For the orchestration and text underlay, Kreuzpointner took his cue from Mozart's church music works. With this edition Kreuzpointner, an experienced church musician and composer, created a convincing and stylistically assured work, which he tried out in several performances. The result is a concise setting of the mass, good to sing, which does not present any great difficulties for soloists, chorus, or orchestra. The title Missa brevissima does not come from Mozart, but was chosen because of the brevity of the mass setting with its missing Credo. It also underlines the special status of this setting of the mass. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.5180100. $32.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 2 to 3 weeks | | |
| Salve Regina for Soprano, Alto, 2 Violins and Continuo Ut Orpheus
Voice; Early Music (Violin I [3], Violin II [3], Cello [2], Basso continuo) S...(+)
Voice; Early Music (Violin I [3], Violin II [3], Cello [2], Basso continuo) SKU: UT.MS-40B Composed by Alessandro Scarlatti. Edited by Maria Luisa Baldassari. Saddle stitching. Classical. Set of Parts. 116 pages. Ut Orpheus #MS 40B. Published by Ut Orpheus (UT.MS-40B). ISBN 9790215314924. 9 x 12 inches. Alessandro Scarlatti ventured four times with the Salve Regina text, of which he draws compositions for various ensembles. The treatment of the text in this version obeys to the usual practice for the motets of a certain length: the antiphon is divided into ‘numbers’ of contrasting character alternatively entrusted to the duet and to the solos. In line with the modern style, Scarlatti choose to not emphasize the most remarkable moments of the text, but instead to provide an internal coherence to each section, keeping the expressive expedients to enhance a few elements and relying instead upon an harmony and melody rich writing and upon the virtuosity of the vocal parts. The present edition is based on the manuscript kept at the Biblioteca del Conservatorio S. Pietro a Majella of Naples, compared to the 19th Century copy, less precise, that is part of the Noseda Fund of the Biblioteca del Conservatorio in Milan. The Napolitan drafting appears very meticulous, particularly in respect to the dynamic marks and expression marks (such as staccatos, slurs etc.) that lay out an execution full of contrasts and unexpected dynamic changes. $53.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 3 to 4 weeks | | |
