Orchestra SKU: BT.YKM570369270 Composed by Robert Saxton. Score Only. Composed 2021. 70 pages. University of York Music Press #YKM570369270. Published by University of York Music Press (BT.YKM570369270). A Hymn to the Thames was commissioned by James Turnbull and the Music Director of the St Paul’s Sinfonia, Andrew Morley. It was begun in 2019 and completed early in 2020. There are four movements played without a break, which follow the Thames from its Cotswold source to the North Sea. As the first performance took place in St ALfege’s Church, Greenwich, this seemed appropriate. The solo oboe represents both a wanderer along the river path and the spirit of the river. The pitch centres of the movements spell out the musical letters of the river (tHAmES—B natural, A, E and E flat) so that the river’s name is projected across the whole work. In addition, the musical letters found in James Turnbull, Andrew Morley and my wife, Teresa Cahill ( who was born in Maidenhead and brought up by the river in Rotherhithe) are entwined in various guises. The first movement grows from the depths, the soloist entering with fanfare-like gestures, followed by lyrical music and breaks into a dance as the river gathers momentum. The third movement is slow and sustained and geographically the Thames flows through Oxford. The music is based on the well-known In Nomine ‘head motif’ from the Gloria tibi Trinitas Mass by the early Tudor composer, John Taverner, who was the first Director of Music at Christ Church, Oxford. The orchestra provides a screen or veil above which the solo oboe dreams and ruminates. This leads directly into the fourth and final movement which begins in the depths once more, interrupting the oboe’s held note from the end of the third movement. The waters’ increasing intensity and power are represented throughout by a moto perpetuo of quick, steady semiquavers. Near the close, the woodwind play O Nata Lux by Thomas Tallis, the great Tudor composer who, with his wife Joan, is buried in St Alfege’s. Beneath this, the lower strings continue the fast semiquaver movement of the river and, above, the violins are heard as a halo of harmonics. At the close, the oboe rises, opening out to the future, and celebrating its voyage, while the orchestra fades as the river meets the sea. A Hymn to the Thames lasts approximately 17 minutes. $23.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 4 to 6 weeks | | |

Violin Duet (Performance Score) SKU: HL.233152 2 Performance Scores. Composed by Nico Muhly. Music Sales America. Classical. Score. Composed 2017. 17 pages. St. Rose Music #SRO100083. Published by St. Rose Music (HL.233152). UPC: 888680701710. 9x12 inches. English. “Four Studies was written for Angela and Jennifer Chun in 2014. Each movement has a drone which lasts for the duration of the movement. The first bar of movements 1 and 4 can be quite long. The drone should remain loosely indifferent to the other part, avoiding any overly-dramatic commentary. That having been said, the droning player should feel free to subtly and constantly change the nature of the sound. Rests are meant to be played freely, expanding and contracting as the spirit moves the soloists, but the notes should be played in relatively even time. The space between the movements can work either with very short pauses or with no pauses at all; this is left up to the discretion of the performers.” – Nico Muhly

Voice and Clarinet SKU: AY.CM3202PM Composed by Joaquim Homs. Ensembles - Chamber Music. Score & Parts. Duration 3'30. Periferia Publishing #CM3202PM. Published by Periferia Publishing (AY.CM3202PM). ISBN 9790543574366. LES HORES Two songs for voice and clarinet about S. Espriu's poems)The 5th of January 1938, in the middle of the civil war, the excellent poet from Majorca Bartomeu Rossello- Porcel passed away in the Sanatorium of Brull (Osona) at the age of 24. His close friend Salvador Espriu was with him in his lasts days of life and expressed his awful experience in fifteen short poems under the title of Les hores, that were published in 1952. In 1955 I put music in two of them, Espera and Nova claror where only two melodic lines get crossed and composed, in a way that is similar to the exchange of sensations and feelings that express the poems. The music tends to suggest and to deepen in our spirit the emotive climate and the deep sadness that come from all the poems. The next year I composed five more songs of the same series for voice, flute, oboe and clarinet, and eventually in 1970, another six for voice and string quartet. The premiere of the last two series of songs took place in 1956 and 1974 respectively. The premier of the first series of 1955 took place the 21st of November 1988 by the Group L.I.M at the Contemporary Arts room of the Museum of Fine Arts of Bilbao within the framework of the Ninth Music Festival of the XXth Century.

UPC: 888680733865. 11.25x14.0x0.528 inches. The inspiration for the Sixth Symphony comes from the composer's twelve years studying in the U.S. It is his very first expressive output that is completely autobiographical. The composer described it as, “a memorial of my years between middle school and college in which I witnessed my own drastic characther development, severe social problems, lacerated friendships, frantic family relationships, and the overall confusion toward my own ethics. Most importantly, it is a realistic portrayal of the many Chinese students studying in the West, spiritually torn between the two cultures. The work is constructed as a single union without movements or breaks and lasts between 40 and 45 minutes.” Instrumentation: 2+1.3.3.3: 4.3.3.1: Timp.Perc(4).Pno.Hp: Str(16.14.12.10.8 min). $110.00 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 24 hours - In Stock | | |
