'Flee the storms.' Reynaldo Hahn (1874-1947) put this motto of classical artists at the heart of his music for piano four hands, preferring the balance of proportions to the roar of passions, the eclecticism of good taste, charm and delicacy. Berceuses falls within the French tradition of children's music such as illustrated by Faure's Dolly and Ravel's Ma mere lOye. These seven pieces evoke with refinement the happiness of a cloudless day, the effervescence that reigns on Christmas Eve, or the gentle syncopated rocking of a young Creole, Selfiana. The Variations pueriles sur une melodie de Carl Reinecke manifest a free, whimsical vein, whereas the Trois preludes sur des airs irlandais drink at the pure sources of folk music, borrowing their thematic material from the famous collection Songs of Old Ireland which Stanford had brought out in 1882. Published for the first time from ahandwritten score, the Variations sur un theme de Charles Levade end with a wild quadrille that takes the heroes of the celebration to the nearest inn. The Piece en forme daria et Bergerie from 1896, finely polished, takes up with the ambiance of the pastorale, popular in the 17th century.

In view of the fact that most people today appreciate the great didactic value of ensemble playing in the musical education of children, there is a growing interest in the repertoire for four hands. In an attempt to satisfy the demand for works of this type, the present little collection, intended for primary schools, avails itself of the little known French didactic repertoire. These are pieces by contemporary composers of the older generation, written mostly at the beginning of the twentieth century.

The Shadow Knows for Six Tubas and Drums (optional) was composed by Jim Self in 2010 as a class recording project at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music. The entire class of tubists played F Tubas. The Shadow Knows is written for six tubas panned across a 180-degree spectrum. Performances should have the tubas spread evenly with the drums in the rear center. The spatial quality of the music is important to the texture. The drums are optional and substitute percussion instruments can be used so one drum set player can do all.
The piece begins with an octave G's vamp that leads into a scherzo like melody. Lots of cascading and special effects emphasize the spectral nature of the music. Rhythmic hemiolas give the feeling of constant meter changes between and 6/8. The second section is a pretty waltz over jazzy harmonies punctuated by various tuba solos and move rhythmic permutations. This is followed by three short duets and a return to the initial groove and theme culminating in a fast coda-like section. The initial vamp returns with a big rallentando and octave changes--and the piece ends with a quasi-improvised solo in the 1st tuba over a bluesy chord.
The Shadow Knows was premiered and recorded in April 2010 at USC. Tubas: (R-L in Mix) Steven Caron, Lyndsey Hoh McClure, Zeewoong Munn, Kyle Mylonakis, Blake Cooper, Danny Garcia; Drums: Brian Foreman. DMA student Dave Holben conducted. It was recorded and mixed by USC Professor Rick Schmunk, The recording can be heard at www.jimself.com and copies can be purchaced there also. The Shadow Knows was completed on February 2 so the title refers to the Ground Hog seeing his shadow in Punxsutawney, PA. It also remembers the old radio mystery show--The Shadow.
