This
5-movement, multi-media
choral drama honors one
of the great heroes of
the emancipation era. The
journey of those who
sacrificed becomes a
story we can relive and
honor. Dr. Kean's goal
was to compose and
arrange original music
and traditional
spirituals in a style
that is evocative of the
enslaved Africans' frame
of mind. The spirituals
are accompanied with
kalimba (thumb piano) to
honor the sub-Saharan
African musical tradition
of connecting with
ancestors and with the
marimba to sound like the
west African balafon.
This is a work that will
move an audience to
tears. Medium to
difficult. The Journey of
Harriet Tubman has
generated a much needed
discussion of African
American enslavement and
and cultural
appropriation. The
composer has dedicated
half of his royalties
from this work to â??The

ending mass incarceration

An
Ankh is an ancient
Egyptian hieroglyphic
representing the word
Life. The Ankh of
Eternity depicts an epic
journey through ancient
lands to find the
mythical Ankh of Eternity
amulet promising eternal
life. The piece journeys
through the desert in a
caravan, with a stop for
a Kaff celebration, an
Arabic hand-clapping folk
art. The discovery of the
tomb is spine chilling
and eerie with special
percussion effects. After
the Ankh is discovered,
swarms of locusts descend
and our travelers run for
their lives. They may
have found eternal life,
but will they be forever
cursed? The Ankh of
Eternity uses an Arabic
or double harmonic-major
scale. Performers have
multiple soloing and
improvising
opportunities. Complex
but repeating rhythms
offer players a chance to
practice getting in the
groove. Players and
audiences alike will be
invigorated by the many
celebratory moments and
thrilled at the eerie and
downright scary moments!
The Ankh of Eternity
offers cultural and
historical inclusion
opportunities,
improvisation, unique
scales, rhythmic
challenges, and a
thrilling story.
Conductor Notes: Measures
45-61: Kaff is the
ancient Arabic art of
hand clapping over
improvised poetry. The
Kaff Celebration section
represents this art form.
The improvising soloists
should be designated by
the conductor and should
each be four measures
long . Alternatively,
soloists may copy the
phrase in the second
ending as a solo. The
AYE! should be shouted
joyously. The repeat may
be omitted for
performance time
concerns, or, of course,
repeated multiple times
for more solos. Measures
64-73: Experiment with
different cymbal noises,
such as scrapes with a
nail or coin, taps with
triangle beaters, bowed
cymbals, etc.
Water-cymbal techniques
should also be used. Fill
a storage tub with water,
and with the suspended
cymbal still on the
stand, hit the cymbal a
couple times with a soft
mallet, and lower the
cymbal into the water for
a glissando effect. The
overall effect should be
creepy cave-like echoes
bending around
corners. An Ankh is an

My
lecture of the
Winterreise does not
demand a new expressive
interpretation, but
instead systematically
exercises the freedom
which all interpreters
allow themselves
intuitively, such as:
instrumental dilation i.
e. acceleration of the
pace, transposition into
other keys and
elaboration of
characteristic color
timbres. In addition,
there are further ways of
reading; the music;
jumping around in the
text, repeating certain
lines, interrupting the
continuity, comparing
different expressions of
the same phrase ... All
these new possibilities
are subjected to my
compositional discipline
and form autonomous
formal processes which
are imposed on Schuberts
original. The
transformation of the
piano tones into a
multifaceted orchestra
full of resonance is only
one of many aspects.(Hans

From
the call of the open seas
to the wistful dance
section, this piece will
open the imagination of
your students and

playable by young bands,
the piece features a
short opening ostinato

cluster and leads to
the ominous sounds of the
brass and percussion,
which depict the slow
lumbering ship on the
dangerous, open waters.
The piece continues
through a more lyrical
second section before a
dramatic return of the
opening material to close
out this contest/festival
style piece. From the
call of the open seas to
the wistful dance
section, this piece will
open the imagination of
your students and
audiences. Very playable
by young bands, the piece
features a short opening
ostinato that develops
into a tone cluster. This
leads to the ominous
sounds of the brass and
percussion, which depict
the slow lumbering ship
on the dangerous, open
waters. After a quickly
paced melody in the low
register for the
clarinets, the piece
gives way to an exciting
tutti section that
features horns and saxes
on an answering
countermelody.The second
section is a dance that
starts with low reeds and
a flute solo, but
develops into a full band
Spanish-sounding dance,
with melody in many
different places. The
recap is a reverse of the
beginning section and
again loosely represents
the danger of life on the
high seas.The short
ostinato that is used at
the beginning and in some
transitional moments is
based on the beginning
notes of Irish Tune from
County Derry, a favorite
of J. C. Sykes, who this
piece honors. Mr. Sykes
gave a lifetime to
teaching music to band
students in North
Carolina. The first four
notes in clarinet 1, the
first four in flute 1 and
the first four in
clarinet 2 make up the
first phrase from that
beautiful melody. Just
something to get students
thinking about
composition in a new
way.

Chicharra
was born out of a love
for syncopated music that
makes one move and dance.
A rhythmic motive
initiated by the viola
and cello sections starts
the diabolical journey of
dance and lyricism. The
syncopated, driving
rhythms initiated by the
low strings are
contrasted by lyrical
lines played in the
violin and viola
sections. A contrasting,
lyrical B section, in
6/8, almost waltz-like,
shows a softer side of
this dance journey.
Various tango elements
are also found in this
piece such as special
effects like the
glissandi in the cello
section, and the
chicharra played by the
violins. The chicharra
should be played behind
the bridge on the D
string with extra finger
weight, very close to the

imitates the chicharra or
cricket!. Chicharra

Traci
ng the journey of a
bottle carrying music,
Miguel del
Aguila’s MUSIC IN
A BOTTLE is exhilarating
and ravishing, yet
equally poignant with
sadness. The 10-minute
work draws inspiration
from post-minimalist
textures and rich
harmony. It is
technically within the
reach of intermediate to
advanced students, as
well as enticing for
professional
recitals. Music in a
Bottle portrays the
symbolic journey of a
bottle carrying a message
across the oceans and
finally sinking without
its message ever having
been delivered.The bottle
and its journey represent
to me our own selves and
our own lives’
journey, and how when we
die we take with us most
of the memories within
us, many of which were
undisclosed to everyone
else.The work is divided
in 3 sections:I. The

MessageIII. The Bottle

The
Gesang der Weiden (Song
of the Willows) is a
slightly revised and
reworked excerpt from the
6th scene of the opera
Die Weiden. The work is
for chorus a cappella
(minimum 16 voices).The
opera Die Weiden is a
journey 'into the heart
of darkness' along a
great river in Central
Europe today, which, if
you will, can undoubtedly
be identified as the
Danube. The story
oscillates between a
travel journey of two
lovers who fall in and
out of love and, a
surreal distorted
observation of today's
current threatening
developments. Keywords:
the Angry Citizen, the
Vigilante, the increasing
isolation from the
outside and the
brutalization of the
social center - all this
despite our heavily
burdened history. This is
achieved through
pandemonium-like
hallucinations of one of
the protagonists as well
as through the
transformation motif
man-to-fish.(Johannes
Maria
Staud)

Natha
niel Dett was among
America’s leading
composers in the early
20th century, and
MAGNOLIA SUITE is a
beautiful example of his
rich, hybrid style.
Deeply inspired by the
music and mission of
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor,
Dett’s piano music
springs from the late
Romantic traditions of
florid texture and
embellishment, along with
programmatic titles and
raw emotion. It is
notable for melody
writing inspired by and
paraphrasing
African-American song.
The 18-minute MAGNOLIA
SUITE contains five
movements, any of which
may also be performed
separately. This edition
by Lara Downes provides a
clean, new engraving that
corrects the many errors
and unclear indications
appearing in the
historical
printing. Robert
Nathaniel Dett was born
in a place that was built
on freedom. The little
village of Drummondville,
Ontario was founded by
enslaved Africans
– Dett’s
ancestors among them
– who traveled the
Underground Railroad out
of the American South
into Canada. Their
journey brought them to a
safe haven, a place where
fortunes and futures
could be transformed in
the span of one
generation, to lives full
of new possibilities. You
could call it “the
place where the rainbow
ends,†which is the
title of the last
movement of Dett’s
Magnolia Suite.When Dett
wrote these pieces, he
was a young teacher at
Lane College in
Tennessee, a historically
Black college that had
been founded in 1882, the
year of his birth. A
place built on freedom,
with the purpose of
educating
newly-emancipated slaves
– a place designed
to nurture the blossoming
of ideas, the vibrant
flowering of minds set
free. This music is
inspired by the gorgeous
splendor of the magnolia
blooms on that college
campus, and also by the
shared histories,
experiences, and
aspirations of the
community that Dett found
there.These five pieces
pay affectionate tribute
to lineage and legacy.
They express gratitude
for the bittersweet
beauties of the present;
nostalgia for the past (a
bit romanticized, as the
past always is); and an
effervescent optimism for
the future that awaits us
in the place where the
rainbow ends.
