Fast food is especially popular with today’s youth, even though it is generally acknowledged to be quite unhealthy. Peter Kleine Schaars’ new composition, on the other hand, will provide some healthy food for the soul and mind. Fast Food features four courses: Pizza Pronto, presenting Italian delights, Crazy Kebab, Arabian delicacies, the American Cheese Burger, and an exciting Hot Dog Disco. Bon appetite!

Vooral bij de jeugd zeer populair: fast food! Of het gezond is, laten we hier maar in het midden. Dat het goed klinkt, weten we wel zeker! Peter Kleine Schaars serveert maar liefst vier gangen: Pizza Pronto, in Italiaanse stijl geschreven,Crazy Kebab, lekker Arabisch gekruid, dan gevolgd door Cheese Burger en Hot Dog Disco in discostijl. Eet smakelijk!

Fast Food ist bekanntlich besonders bei der Jugend sehr beliebt, auch wenn es nicht gerade gesund sein soll. Gesundheitlich völlig unbedenklich hingegen ist diese pfiffige Komposition von Peter Kleine Schaars, in dem das Blasorchester seinem Publikum nacheinander vier musikalische Gänge serviert: Pizza Pronto, im italienischen Stil geschrieben, Crazy Kebab, arabisch angehaucht, gefolgt von Cheese Burger und Hot Dog Disco im Disco-Stil. Guten Appetit!

Fast Food est un terme bien connu des jeunes, même si le mode de restauration que désigne cette expression n’est pas toujours recommandable au niveau du bien-être alimentaire. Cette composition de Peter Kleine Schaars se veut cependant totalement inoffensive pour la santé de votre orchestre ou de votre public, et les quatre mets qu’elle propose Pizza Pronto, Crazy Kebab, Cheese Burger et Hot Dog Disco seront des plus digestes. Bon appétit!

Fast Food è un termine particolarmente popolare tra i giovani, anche se non sempre sinonimo di qualit . Questa composizione di Peter Kleine Schaars è però un vero toccasana per il pubblico che apprezzer la “freschezza” dei quattro “piatti” proposti: Pizza Pronto, Crazy Kebab, Cheese Burger e Hot Dog Disco.

This three-movement suite for one piano, four hands was inspired by one of the largest lakes in North America, bordering Vermont, New York, and Quebec. The first movement, Wind on the Water, is a flowing piece in 5/4 meter that uses broken chords, broken intervals, and an expansive melody to capture the play of waves on the lake. The second movement, Mystery of the Deep, uses two contrasting sections, one mysterious and one cheerfully swinging, to musically portray a folkloric monster who lurks in the depths of Lake Champlain but also delights locals with occasional sightings. The final movement, Tides of Revolution, draws upon the lake's history as a pivotal battleground during the American Revolutionary War. Driving rhythms, biting dissonances, changing meters, and dramatic exchanges between the players bring the suite to an exciting close. Optional parts for percussion and violin/flute are available for download for two of the movements.

William Grant Stillas catalog of works comprises over 200 pieces, including five symphonies, nine operas, four ballets and numerous works for chamber ensembles. He initially found employment as an oboist in pit orchestras in New York City, later as an arranger of popular music for various ensembles, including those by William C. Handy, James P. Johnson and Paul Whiteman. His career as a composer was launched with a performance in 1931 of his Symphony No. 1 aAfro-Americana by the Rochester Philharmonic, conducted by Howard Hanson, who would remain a life-long champion of Stillas orchestral works. By the 1950s the symphony had been performed in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and various European capitals. This notoriety earned Still a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1934, after which he moved to Los Angeles. He is credited as the first African-American to conduct a major orchestra (the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra), the first to have an opera performed by a major company (Troubled Island by the New York City Opera in 1949), and one of the first composers to write for radio, films and television. So numerous were his awards and accolades, including three Guggenheim Fellowships and a variety of honorary doctorates, that he was designated as the aDean of Afro-American Composers.a The aBlack belta refers to a region in the southern United States that was distinguished by the color of its fertile soil. It was an area whose rich economy was based on cotton and tobacco plantations that were controlled by rich white people and worked by poor black laborers. Stillas piece From the Black Belt from 1926 is presumably a musical representation of these laborers. He described its seven parts in the following ways:   William Grant Stillas catalog of works comprises over 200 pieces, including five symphonies, nine operas, four ballets and numerous works for chamber ensembles.

The harp and the flute are among the oldest instruments in the world. These two instruments have been depicted in paintings and sculptures from as early as the beginnings of the Cycladic civilization (2800-2300 BC) in what is now Turkey and Greece. Paired together, the harp and flute can produce an ethereal sound that calms, uplifts, soothes, and delights the listener. Their musicality has been captured by the great composers of the baroque and classical periods all the way to moderns like Shostakovitch and Corigliano. Mystic Vista is a collection of songs Robert Hutmacher has written over the past eight years for musicals, plays, and recitals, together with five short pieces from the French repertoire. He and Denise LaGiglia have performed together for years, and this recording brings their musicianship to a larger audience. The title, cover photo, and much of the music flows from Bob's life, research, and prayer in his second home-Assisi, Italy. In addition to that unique Umbrian flavor heard in his previous recordings, there are the usual Hutmacher surprises. Mystic Vista conveys a wide variety of holy, emotional, and artistic moments, sure to captivate the listener. Duets, solos, and even improvisations display talent and professionalism, the diversity of style will assure one is connected with the aural beauty of these timeless instruments.

Clarinet and Piano (Clarinet)

Davi es's feeling for the potency and bravura of the clarinet goes back to works of the 1960s; his concerto for the instrument is predictably a big, ranging piece, in two linked movements. The first, fast with a brief slow introduction, has the soloist in propulsive melodic flights slipping over into florid runs, but it is a virtuoso piece for the orchestra, especially for the marimba and pair of horns. The Adagio that follows is in the spare, cold, birdcall-riven style of other recent Davies slow movements, exploiting first the clarinet's low register and then, at its climax, the instrument's high extremes. A cadenza leads to the coda, where Davies introduces a Scots tune, previously hinted at, with which he brings the work to an end in F sharp major. Clarinet part with piano reduction of the orchestral score.

Larry Clark does it again with this tuneful new feel good piece. You and your students will walk away humming this tune. There is even a nice contrasting lyrical middle section in the relative minor to break up the piece.
Solstice: one of two times in the year when the sun is at its greatest distancefrom the celestial equator.A solstice happens at the mid-point of summer, about June 21, and the midpoint of winter, about December 22. Each of those times of year is delightful. The carefree days of summer have just begun around June 21, when the mind wanders to long bike rides or walks on the beach. During the winter solstice the mind is filled with all of the delights that the holiday season has to offer. Either way, a solstice is a joyous and fun filled time of year, and this piece is intended to bring to mind some of these wonderful times. The main theme should be performed in a light carefree manner, which is then contrasted by the more lyrical and passionate middle section.As with all of my pieces for younger students, the tempo indicated is merely a guide. Adjust the tempo to fit the needs of your students. It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to write this piece. I hope you and your students enjoy it and find it useful for your program.

This stunning 3-movement work has it all! The opening movement, Flights of Fancy, symbolizes the element of air and features soaring phrases. The second movement, Terra, resembles an Appalachian lullaby and represents the element of Earth. The final movement, Fire and Ice, is a tour de force that captures the elements of fire and water meeting to create steam and the resulting kinetic energy. Glorious music!

Missa brevis for mixed choir and eight wind instruments Op. 5 was created in 1951 and premiered at the Donaueschingen Festival of Contemporary Music the following year. The Ordinary of the Mass (Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Agnus Dei) was composed using a modal technique drawing on medieval examples. The use of wind instruments adds to the rich sound of the choir, thus expanding the sound spectrum in an interesting way. The piece is suitable for both liturgy and concert. Hummel wrote a music which is easy to play by all performers and delights the listeners immediately.
