The cakewalk is a dance that was popular in the late nineteenth-century and indicative of the ragtime style, which was the precursor to Jazz. This piece contains the well-known cakewalk rhythm as the basis of all of the melodic and accompanying material. In typical Carl Strommen fashion, the piece is tuneful, well-scored and fun!.The “Cakewalkâ€, also known as the “Walkaround†or “Prize Walks,†was a late nineteenth-century Southern dance form set to the infectious, even eighth-note pulse of Ragtime. A partner dance, judges would evaluate the elegant bearing of the men, the gracefulness of the women and the inventiveness of the pair of dancers. The last remaining pair (“winnersâ€) would often be presented with an elaborately decorated cake.Devoted exclusively to the sixth grade, the Silas Wood school is named after Silas Wood (1769–1847), who was elected to the United State Congress for five terms representing the Long island, New York district within Suffolk County and the Town of Huntington.

Adventure Land was commissioned by Clermont Communauté and the CREA (the directors of the local music schools and conservatories) in France. This work was the opening piece of a show combining orchestra, choir and actors. The story takes place in the city of Clermont-Ferrand, which an explorer discovers through a series of riddles and adventures. Adventure Land is written in the form of a symphonic march which features a slow and pleasant passage in the middle of the work. The result is a dynamic and playful piece, similar to the style that one might find in cartoons or in animated films.Adventure Land werd gecomponeerd in opdracht van de Clermont Communauté en de CREA (de leiders van de lokale muziekscholen en het plaatselijke conservatorium) in Frankrijk.

Het verhaal vindt plaats in de stad Clermont-Ferrand, die door een avonturier wordt ontdekt door middel van een reeks raadsels en belevenissen. Adventure Land is geschreven in de vorm van een symfonische mars met een langzame, fraaie passage in het midden.

UPC: 888680972554. 6.75x10.5x0.029 inches. Dylan Thomas/Nick Strimple.
The poems of Dylan Thomas are famous because they touch the depth of the heart. Nick Strimple's setting of this poem has special personal meaning following the death of his brother. This poem honors the passion of creating art in a dramatic way. The ostinato pattern Strimple incorporates beautifully grounds the piece and concludes it with lingering and longing. The music is conceived by the text and does so masterfully with a piano accompaniment that is more reminiscent of an orchestration. An excellent concert piece for advanced high school and college ensembles.
