Namasé Rhapsody di_x001E_ffers in several respects from most other concert works by Jan Van der Roost, with its impressive twists and turns and musical allusions to the work of John Adams. A first, minimalist movement, is followed by a lyrical and expressive second movement for various soloists in different ranges. The third movement sees a stark change of mood with a rigid metrical _x001F_figure before a powerful and energetic close.

Met Namasé Rhapsody kiest componist Jan Van der Roost voor het experiment en slaat hij nieuwe verrassende muzikale wegen in. Zo refereert hij in het eerste, bijna minimalistische deel hier en daar naar de muziek van John Adams. In het tweede, zeer expressieve deel komen verschillende solisten en instrumentengroepen aan bod om dan over te gaan in een spectaculair en dynamisch slotdeel waarin een star metrisch patroon centraal staat. Verrassend!

Namasé Rhapsody weicht in mehrerlei Hinsicht von den meisten anderen Blasorchesterwerken von Jan Van der Roost ab und besticht mit überraschenden Wendungen und Anspielungen auf die Musik von John Adams. Auf den ersten, minimalistisch anmutenden Satz, folgt ein lyrischer, expressiver zweiter Satz für diverse Solisten und Register. Der dritte Satz bringt mit einem starren metrischen Muster einen Stimmungswechsel ins Spiel, bevor das Werk kraftvoll und energisch endet.

divers points de vue, Namasé Rhapsody sort quelque peu de l’ordinaire par rapport la plupart des oeuvres de Jan Van der Roost. Le premier mouvement de la pièce est particulièrement inhabituel : un motif rythmique de trois mesures répété par les cuivres sur des intervalles variés. Le deuxième mouvement quant lui est beaucoup plus mélodieux et lyrique. Le troisième développe et élabore un impressionnant bouillonnement. Survient un passage lent et court, dramatiquement interrompu pour reprendre en un dernier éclat d’énergie et de puissance.

Sotto molti aspetti Namasé Rhapsody si allontana dallo stile tipico di Van der Roost. La composizione colpisce per i suoi numerosi riferimenti alla musica di John Adams. Il primo movimento, minimalista ed elegante, precede una seconda parte espressiva per diversi solisti e banda. Il terzo movimento, prima dell’energico _x001E_finale, apporta un cambiamento di atmosfere attraverso un sistema metrico molto accentuato.

Black light is defined as infrared or ultraviolet light which is invisible to the naked eye. The idea of an entire spectra existing out of the range of human perception was a large influencing factor for George Sweet in the composition of this piece. Richly scored for the modern concert band, Black Light is written in a post-minimalist style and is also heavily influenced by the work of American composers Steve Reich, John Adams, and Philip Glass.
Black light is defined as infrared or ultraviolet light which is invisible to the naked eye. The idea of an entire spectra existing out of the range of human perception was an influencing factor on the composition of the piece. Black Light is written in a post-minimalist style and is also heavily influenced by the work of American composers Steve Reich, John Adams, and Philip Glass.This begins with strict motor accompaniment. Take care to maintain equal balance among the different “moving parts” so that they blend to create a solid whole both here and throughout the piece. The primary thematic material is stated by the trumpets and horns at m. 12. This material is the basis for much of the harmonic and thematic material that follows. A slightly varied statement of the main theme is presented again at m. 26 with a different type of motor accompaniment. This leads to a B-section at m. 44, which is a bold fanfare-like presentation of the main material. Another series of variations on the main theme begins at m. 50 and incorporates many different textural and harmonic ideas in the accompaniment. Once again, be careful to not let any one “moving part” overwhelm another and keep the texture evenly balanced.  A second, broader presentation of the B-section occurs at m. 90 and leads to a subdued C-section at m. 100 with new melodic material presented in the trumpet. A whimsical march-like section pushes to the return of the introductory motor material at m. 131. A final heroic presentation of the main thematic material results in a somewhat ambiguous coda, which brings the piece to a dramatic conclusion.

String Quartet (1985) - In memoriam Urmas Kibuspuu. This impressive two-movement string quartet by the popular young Estonian composer Erkki-Sven Tuur (b. 1959) displays minimalist influences. The most pronounced ostinato tendencies are in the first violin, which repeats the same motif for several bars while the other instruments accompany it with their own recurring motifs. Released on the BIS label, the quartet is dedicated to the memory of a friend of Tuur's, the Estonian actor Urmas Kibuspuu.

A String of Pearls is a five-movement suite for piano duet. Written in 2017 for the Darina Piano Duo, the duet is intended for pianists who particularly enjoy playing expressive and evocative music with a hint of minimalism. The minimalist style is often associated with music featuring repetitive structures or note patterns. Each movement represents a different pearl, reflecting the precious jewel's characteristics as well as its corresponding symbolism.

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 Bottle’s JourneyII. The MessageIII. The Bottle SinksMusic in a Bottle has been recorded by James Miltenberger on the Scotwood Music CD, “20th Century Dances and Improvisations.”â� ��” Miguel del Aguila.

Kevin Volans' String Quartet No. 9: Shiva Dances was commissioned by BBC Radio 3 and first performed by the Smith Quartet at the 2004 Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival.

Kevin Volans (the composer) notes on the piece:
In the past I have been interested in trying to go beyond historicism (1970s), beyond style(1980s) and beyond form (1990s) in my work. Looking back over the music of the twentiethcentury I was struck by the fact the nearlyall of it is extremely 'busy', almost cluttered. Italmost seemed that composers felt compelled to look industrious. In the new millennium Ithought it would be interesting to try and eliminate content. I also aspired to movingfrommusic (sound as art) to art (art as sound). This, of course, has already been done by a numberof composers (many from New York - Phil Niblock and La Monte Young, to name but two), butit was something I had never tried.AlthoughI found it annoying that the label 'minimalist' was given to my African-based work,and fearing this would make the label stick, I set out to write a piece which reflected my loveof minimal painting and architecture. The Japanesehave a term 'wabi' meaning 'voluntarypoverty' or 'emptiness' to describe their restrained minimal aesthetic, an aesthetic which,however, pays greatest attention to the quality of material and fine detail. I like to think thatthelack of excessive pitch material in this piece reflects a kind of voluntary poverty.When Shiva is portrayed dancing (as Nataraj) He is depicted in a circle of flames crushing asmall figure - the ego - underfoot.You get theimpression He dances on the spot, not movingaround at all. I like that.
The piece is dedicated to Pablo Pascual Cilleruelo.

Inspi red by so-called minimalist ostinato music thriving on fast textures with slow, luscious harmony, Dorff found this an enticing approach to composing for marimbas. The work was simultaneously premiered in late 1985 by Nachiko Maekane on the East Coast, and by Brian Prechtl and Hitoshi Maeda on the West Coast. Each dance etude has a characteristic interval and ostinato rhythm, and may be performed by any number of players.

A Tedious Brief Scene: Bottom's Dance (2011) is a fine example of Holmes work from her career as a composer and educator in New Zealand for over 25 years. Holmes was inspired to depict the character Bottom from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream in writing this lighthearted work. It is highly engaging and energetic with elements of minimalist techniques of layered melodic ostinati, and jazz-influenced and non-tonal harmony. Like the character and scene from Shakespeare's play, the music oscillates between moments of poignancy and boisterous self-confidence. It incorporates a variety of accented rhythmic patterns, changing metres and delicate melodic material, which gives pianists an opportunity to demonstrate their individual and combined talents as a chamber ensembles. It is suitable for performance by secondary students of approximately Grade VIII and above (ABRSM / Trinity).It is now available for purchase as a study score and/or performance set (parts only). This listing is the performance set of parts only.

Juha ni Nuorvala, described as an “electro-acoustic urban minimalist, seeks inspiration from widely varied sources. With the enthusiasm of an explorer, he has delved into microtonality, French spectral music, techno and rock. It all becomes organically fused into his own idiom, often characterised by a frenzied rhythmic drive. Prélude non retouché (2012) for organ in ¼ comma meantone tuning with C# Eb F# G# Bb celebrates these features with light-hearted and easy-going mood, with attractive roughness due to tuning system.
