Seventh of a series of
eight, it familiarises
the young Pianist to more
complex melodies and
rhythms, to minor chords
and minor tonalities and
to the techniques of
playing. This volume uses
the same characters as
the previous books, who
evolve through new
illustrations to guide
the young pianists. Le
Voyage magique is the
translation and
adaptation by Stephane
Blet of the American
series Piano Discoveries
by Janet Vogt and Leon
Bates. The pedagogy of
this book has been
studied to be quite close
to the language of
children, in order to
develop their interest
and concentration. A CD
is provided to accompany
the player while learning
with Le Voyage magique,
offering some small
melodic pieces to develop
a musical ear. Janet Vogt
is an American Pianist,
professor at the
College-Conservatory of
Music. She also composed
pieces for Keyboards, for
Choirs, and some pop
music. Leon Bates (born
1949) is a renowned
American Pianist who
performed with the New
York Symphony, the
Cleveland Symphony and
many others. He is also a
professor and
participated to the
conception of this
method. Stephane Blet is
an international Solo
Pianist who decided to
focus on the composition
of pieces and on
teaching. He is currently
professor in the Ecole

A lot is known
about the American
composer Leroy Anderson.
This son of Swedish
immigrants played the
piano, organ, accordion,
trombone, tuba and double
bass. He spoke several
languages fluently and
graduated from Harvard
with first-class
honours.While on military
service, the army also
commissioned him to write
a manual on Icelandic
grammar.He already
started writing musical
arrangements as a
student, and from his
30th year arranged and
composed for the Boston
Pops Orchestra. Such
melodiesas Serenata, The
Typewriter, Sleigh Ride
and Bugler�s
Holiday made him world
famous. His best-known
work, Blue Tango, reached
number one in the US
charts in 1952, and it
sold more than a million
copies. In 1975, a year
after hisdeath, he was
given a star at the Walk
of Fame in Hollywood.Most
of his works last no
longer than three
minutes, about the
maximum length of a
single at that time. One
work that lasts longer is
his 1953 Piano Concerto
in C for piano and
orchestra.The first
performance was in
Chicago, conducted by the
composer and with Eugene
List at the piano.
However, after three
performances he was no
longer happy with the
work and withdrew it. He
always intended to revise
it, but never got round
to it. Itwas only in 1989
that the Anderson family
decided to republish the
work.This three-part
composition is on the one
hand characterised by a
careless elegance, but on
the other one can hear
the influence of
Rachmaninoff, Copland,
Gershwin, and
evenBeethoven and Mozart,
as well as the Viennese
classics.Anderson used
the sonata form for the
first movement. It ends
with a cadenza that
carries us on into the
second part (in e minor).
The third part is a
typically cheerful
American folk dance in2/4
time, a so-called Hoe
Down, with a lilting,
lyrical passage as its
middle section. At the
end comes a solo passage
followed by a rapid
close.In this piano
concerto, Anderson
combines a rigidly
classical form of
composition with simple
andappealing themes and
elements from light
music. So this work is a
perfect synthesis of
light music and what is
called serious music, in
the same way as
Gershwin�s
Rhapsody in Blue. A work
that can be played
equally well in a
concerthall, at an
open-air concert or even
a pop
concert.

At
this point we've seen
everything done with
hymns that we can
possibly think of. And
you may be saying the
last thing you want or
need is another book of
hymns. And some might be
inclined to agree.
Except...
What
if, instead of working so
hard to change them or
improve them, we focus on
revealing the true
nature, power, and
majesty of our favorite
hymns? Rather, to be true
to them, and frame them
in their best light by
rediscovering a fresh
appreciation of their
well-deserved place in
our houses of worship.
Let our choirs raise
their voices in unbridled
passion, fed by the
awe-inspiring, rich,
theological and doctrinal
truths buried deep within
these tremendous songs of
the Faith. Let our
spirits rise with the
soaring melodies, and
once again give voice to
our praise of the
immortal, invisible,
only-wise God! And, more
than anything else, let
us rediscover the joy
that comes when we
encourage our
congregations to raise
our joys and triumphs
high, as together the
Church proclaims, Then
Sings My Soul, to the
greatness of our
God.
While each
great arrangement in this
book stands alone,
Then Sings My Soul
is designed to be
presented as a
through-composed worship
service of hymns,
scripture, and
inspirational readings
for Choir, Congregation,
and Worship Leaders,

DUOâ
€™s succinct movement
titles (I. Here, II.
Open, III. Stark, IV.
Ardent) tease at
revealing the grand and
heartfelt inspiration for
exuberant romanticism in
this sonata-like work of
symphonic proportions and
depth. Charles Gibb is
both an accomplished
pianist and an
award-winning flutist,
who has written of this
compelling major addition
to the literature:
“This work is a
journey. What journey and
whose journey does not
matter. It is my journey,
it is your journey. It is
the journey of those who
came before us, and of
those who will come after
us. I wrote this hoping
that we can find each
other along the road, so
we can realize that we
don’t need to go
on the journey
alone.â€
Gibb’s DUO is sure
to become a favorite
major work for flute
recitalists. This work
is a journey. What
journey and whose journey
does not matter. It is my
journey, it is your
journey. It is the
journey of those who came
before us, and of those
who will come after us. I
wrote this hoping that we
can find each other along
the road, so we can
realize that we
don’t need to go
on the journey
alone.“Hereâ€
begins with three notes
that shape the rhythmic
and harmonic content of
the entire work. Melodies
and harmonies including
the tonic, dominant, and
leading tone can be found
in each of the four
movements. The first
moments of this movement
introduce the melody,
offering itself
unencumbered and
uninhibited. It shows
itself as it is. The
melodies soar, the
harmonies become voiced
more intricately, and the
opening theme repeats in
full grandeur. The
momentum slows down, and
the movement ends with a
sense of completion, yet
remains unbalanced.A
striking piano gesture
launches
“Open,†the
idea of instability
reflected with the
flowing flute trills and
unclear meter patterns in
the piano. The sensation
of an unsteady grace in
5/8 time arrives with a
piano ostinato. The
melody is expressive, yet
insecure and unbalanced
due to changing meters.
After a grand pause, the
movement transitions to
4/4 time with the flute
switching between duplet
and triplet flourishes.
After a rapid descent in
the flute, the opening
gesture returns, changed
and abruptly
interrupted.The third
movement,
“Stark,†is
very static, beginning
plainly but markedly. The
falling fifth calls out
continually throughout
the movement, searching,
lost. Melodies appear in
pieces, some smooth and
flowing, others rather
disjunct. The piece
climaxes with a line of
mournfulness, yet
revealing a deeper
strength through intense
projection of tone in the
high register. However,
the static harmonies
return, this time
unsteady all the way to
its foundation. This
destabilization repeats,
and then quietly
recedes.“Ardentâ
is the longest of the
movements and spans a
wide range of musical
emotion. Part of the
movement is fast paced,
energetic, and balances
order and disarray.
However, once the chaos
dies down, a gentle,
expressive theme comes
in. The theme itself is
very resolute; it is
order appearing from the
pandemonium. Conflict
returns, and order and
chaos become less
distinguishable from one
another, and soon fuse
together. However, order
returns with new meaning,
synthesized with previous
musical content, creating
a truer, deeper sense of
awareness or
understanding. A moment
of ambiguity arises, but
the flute persists,
supported by the
sensitive but firm
figuration in the piano,
and resoundingly comes to
a close, unburdened and
at ease.

ABOUT THE
MUSIC Future of Tomorrow
(Concert March) was
commissioned by the Arts
Education Branch,
Ministry of Education as
the set piece for the
Singapore Youth Festival
2016 Arts Presentation
for Concert and Brass
Bands (Primary Level).
This march uses brief
excerpts from the
well-known Malay folk
songs Katak Lompat and
Rasa Sayang. Our youths
are indeed our future of
tomorrow. This
joyful-themed march aims
to bring out the best in
each of your young
players. I hope that
students, band directors
and audiences will enjoy
preparing, performing and
listening to this work.
EDUCATIONAL NOTES Key: Eb
Major SECTION BARS EVENT
/ SCORING / SUGGESTIONS
Introduction 1-4 Opens in
Eb major with dotted
rhythm motif. 1st Strain
5-20 Take note of melodic
phrasing above the
(light) oom-pah ostinato;
melody repeats at m. 13
with the addition of
countermelody in the
inner lines; although
written at mf dynamic,
this anew ideaa needs to
be heard clearly for
contrast with the
previous statement. 2nd
Strain 21-36 C minor
(relative minor); excerpt
from Katak Lompat; melody
in the lower brass/wind
from m. 21 with a
contrasting
attitude/style from 1st
strain; back to a more
lyrical treatment from m.
29. Trio 37-56 Stays
unmodulated in the same
key; opens with a
percussion solo feature
before the start of the
softer Trio theme; keep
this section controlled
and be sensitive to the
balance; the metallic
timbre of the muted
trumpet/cornet needs to
be heard clearly (might
suggest to bring the
dynamic level up to mf
when muted); if

CONDUCTOR This march has
been carefully written
with reasonable
technicalities and range
in mind for younger
players. Generally,
optional cued notes in
parenthesis are given for
less experienced players
who have yet to develop
their range on the
instrument. However, they
should never be taken as
an easy alternative for
all players in the
section; otherwise, this
may result in a less than
ideal flow of the musical
lines. Marches are good
tools to train tempo
consistency, articulation
and rhythmic precision as
well as musical phrasing.
I hope that there will be
great learning
opportunities for your
students as they learn
this piece. This march is
separately orchestrated
for both wind and brass
bands to maximize the
instrumental colors
within each ensemble. The
parts are therefore not
exchangeable between the
wind band and brass band
sets. I wish you the best
in the performance of
this work. - Benjamin

5-20 Take note of melodic
phrasing above the
(light) oom-pah ostinato;
melody repeats at m. 13
with the addition of
countermelody in the
inner lines; although
written at mf dynamic,
this 'new idea' needs to
be heard clearly for
contrast with the

29. Trio 37-56 Stays
unmodulated in the same
key; opens with a
percussion solo feature
before the start of the
softer Trio theme; keep
this section controlled
and be sensitive to the
balance; the metallic
timbre of the muted

be heard clearly (might
suggest to bring the
dynamic level up to mf

Barca
rolles for a Sinking City
was inspired by the city
of Venice, a place that
has long held the
fascination of artists,
writers and composers,
and which I have been
lucky enough to visit on
several occasions. Sadly
it seems that future
generations may not be so
lucky: in addition to the
city's slow sinking and
recently discovered
tilting, studies predict
that if global warming
and the resultant rise of
ocean levels is unabated,
the entire city (as well
as many other coastal
cities around the globe)
will be under water by
2100. I. Funeral
Gondola The late, cryptic
piano works of Franz
Liszt made a profound
impression on me as a
young composer, among
them two works he
entitled La Lugubre
Gondola (usually
translated as The Funeral
Gondola ) which were said
to be a premonition of
Wagner's death in Venice,
his coffin transported
through the canals in a
black gondola. These late
pieces of Liszt acquired
even greater significance
to me after I spent two
summers in Bayreuth under
the patronage of
Friedelind Wagner, the
granddaughter of Wagner
and great-granddaughter
of Liszt. This movement
is a meditation on
Wagner, Liszt, Venice and
its own evanescence. II.
Barcarolle/Quodlibet The
Quodlibet (Latin for what
pleases) is a musical
form dating back to the
15th century where many
disparate melodies are
juxtaposed. Popular in
the Renaissance, sacred
and secular melodies were
combined, often to
comical effect due to the
resultant incongruity of
the words. The form was
considered the ultimate
test of a composer's
mastery of counterpoint.
The most famous Quodlibet
is without doubt the
final Variation of Bach's
Goldberg Variations. As a
form the Quodlibet is
less common in more
recent music, although
examples can be found in
the works of Kurt Weill
and David Del Tredici.
My own
Barcarolle/Quodlibet was
inspired by the (perhaps
apocryphal) story of the
funeral where musicians
were asked to play a Bach
Choral, but due to
miscommunication played
instead the Bacarolle
from The Tales of
Hoffmann. Here, the Bach
Choral Allen Menschen
mussen sterben (All Men
Must Die) is heard in the
strings pizzicato, with a
tempo indication In slow
motion. The alto line of
the Bach suggests a
phrase from Beethoven's
Ninth Symphony (Alle
Menchen werden Bruder)
heard in the muted
trombone. Before long,
the famous tune from
Offenbach's opera is
heard, followed by
quotations from iconic
Barcarolles by Chopin,
Mendelssohn and Faure, as
well as two Venetian
popular songs and more
Beethoven. III.
Barcarola/Ostinato/Carill
on An ostinato is a
repeated musical figure,
and carillon is Italian
for music box. This
movement references the
obsolete genre of salon
pieces that imitated
music boxes: such works
by composers like Liadov
and Gretchaninov used to
be a mainstay of
pianists' encore
repertoire. This movement
is however much darker in
conception than those
pleasant trifles.
Utilizing the full
battery of percussion,
the carefully notated
temporal slowing of the
ostinato becomes
overwhelmed by a poignant
chorale melody before
this box is snapped shut.
IV. Barcarolle
Oubliee (Forgotten
Barcarolle) Marked
limpido (still) the final
movement begins with the
sound of rain produced by
a percussion instrument
called (appropriately) a
rain stick. Halting
phrases in the harp
coalesce into the
accompaniment for a
plangent melody heard in
the clarinet. The central
Adagio of this movement
leads to a shattering
climax, before the
opening phrases return
and dissipate into
nothingness.
