The
Complete Blues/Rock
Drummer is an advanced
instruction book
specializing in blues and
blues/rock beats. This
book includes fills and
instrumentals, both with
and without drums for
play-along. About half of
the book features
advanced beats with fills
and the other half
consists of
instrumentals. Drummers
interested in studying
blues will learn much
from this book.There is
challenging material for
you to practice. The
Complete Blues/Rock
Drummer is a unique
source for those
interested in this genre.
Like most musical styles,
the breadth of blues
music is vast, taking on
many forms throughout
different parts of the
United States. Our aim is
to focus on a few styles
and demonstrate the
drumming that is
associated with each
style. After that, its
your turn to play-along
and come up with your own
parts or play the
transcription of each
song. Remember there isnt
a single all-inclusive
book that will cover
everything there is to
know about blues or any
style for that matter.
This book provides
practical ideas for blues
and blues/rock.

A
violinist herself, Lauren
Bernofsky has described
SONATA FOR SOLO VIOLIN as
drawn from
autobiographical
inspiration, including
gestures from Bachâ??s
beloved Partita in E
Major. Bernofsky opens
with a Preludio movement
whose references to Bach
may be disguised, but
they are surely lurking.
The second movement is
lusciously contrapuntal
with the idiomatic
finesse of a violinist
composing for her own
instrument, while
musically journaling the
emotional pain of living
through 2020. The third
and final movement is
aptly marked
â??white-hot,â? and
the music certainly
is. My SONATA FOR SOLO
VIOLIN was commissioned
by violinist Megan Healy
as part of The Maud
Powell Project, which
celebrated the 100th
anniversary of the
ratification of the 19th
Amendment. The project
included the creation of
five new works for solo
violin inspired by and
dedicated to the memory
of pioneering American
violinist Maud Powell
(1867-1920). Healy
premiered the sonata on
May 8, 2021 at PianoForte
Studios in Chicago.Among
the works Powell most
frequently performed in
her recitals was the
â??Preludioâ?
movement from Bachâ??s E
major Partita, and I
decided to refer to that
music in my own first
movement, also titled
â??Preludio.â? The
beginning subtly reflects
Bachâ??s opening
three-note motive,
wherein the music dips
down a semitone and then
comes back up. This
melodic material returns
throughout the movement
in various forms. I also
refer to Bachâ??s
sixteenth-note dominated
texture, and the gesture
in the third measure,
which outlines a perfect
fifth and then fills it
in with notes that
alternate between a scale
and a pedal tone. The
corresponding passage in
my piece occurs in the
same place, measure 3.
Apart from these
references to Bach, my
sonata is much more
modern sounding,
especially in its
chromatic character.I was
still thinking of
Bachâ??s solo violin
writing while composing
the second movement,
particularly the
polyphonic nature of the
slow movements, where the
melodic interest moves
around between the
voices. Emotionally, I
wanted my movement to
reflect the acute sadness
I had been experiencing
over the political and
social situation in the
United States as I wrote
the piece. I realized
that this is a
historically noteworthy
time in U.S. history,
marked not only by
political unrest, but
also by a challenge to
the very values that I
consider essential to
what makes a person
fundamentally human. I
wanted to create a record
of that pain in my
music.The final movement
is marked
â??White-hot.â? It is
imbued with a relentless,
passionate intensity.
Wanting again to reflect
aspects of our own time,
I included glissandi that
refer to rock music,
specifically the
â??fall-offsâ? I
frequently hear played by
electric guitarists. I
borrowed from another
(completely different)
musical tradition as
well, one that is
near-and-dear to my
heart: Klezmer. Klezmer
(Eastern European Jewish
folk music) is
characterized in part by
scales colored by
augmented seconds, and is
often performed by solo
instrumentalists who
improvise embellishments
like quick grace notes.
The second, more lyrical
theme in this movement is
my nod to Klezmer
style.While this piece is
an homage to Maud Powell,
I also think of it as my
own musical
autobiography, as it
combines some of my
favorite aspects of
music, and is played on
my own instrument.

Following a
celebrated series of wind
ensemble tone poems about
national parks in the
American West, Dan
Welcher’s Upriver
celebrates the Lewis &
Clark Expedition from the
Missouri River to
Oregon’s Columbia
Gorge, following the
Louisiana Purchase of
1803. Welcher’s
imaginative textures and
inventiveness are freshly
modern, evoking our
American heritage,
including references to
Shenandoah and other folk
songs known to have been
sung on the expedition.
For advanced players.
Duration:
14’. In 1803,
President Thomas
Jefferson sent Meriwether
Lewis and William
Clark’s Corps of
Discovery to find a water
route to the Pacific and
explore the uncharted
West. He believed woolly
mammoths, erupting
volcanoes, and mountains
of pure salt awaited
them. What they found was
no less mind-boggling:
some 300 species unknown
to science, nearly 50
Indian tribes, and the
Rockies.Ihave been a
student of the Lewis and
Clark expedition, which
Thomas Jefferson called
the “Voyage of
Discovery,†for as
long as I can remember.
This astonishing journey,
lasting more than
two-and-a-half years,
began and ended in St.
Louis, Missouri —
and took the travelers up
more than a few rivers in
their quest to find the
Northwest Passage to the
Pacific Ocean. In an age
without speedy
communication, this was
akin to space travel out
of radio range in our own
time: no one knew if,
indeed, the party had
even survived the voyage
for more than a year.
Most of them were
soldiers. A few were
French-Canadian voyageurs
— hired trappers
and explorers, who were
fluent in French (spoken
extensively in the
region, due to earlier
explorers from France)
and in some of the Indian
languages they might
encounter. One of the
voyageurs, a man named
Pierre Cruzatte, also
happened to be a
better-than-average
fiddle player. In many
respects, the travelers
were completely on their
own for supplies and
survival, yet,
incredibly, only one of
them died during the
voyage. Jefferson had
outfitted them with food,
weapons, medicine, and
clothing — and
along with other
trinkets, a box of 200
jaw harps to be used in
trading with the Indians.
Their trip was long,
perilous to the point of
near catastrophe, and
arduous. The dream of a
Northwest Passage proved
ephemeral, but the
northwestern quarter of
the continent had finally
been explored, mapped,
and described to an
anxious world. When the
party returned to St.
Louis in 1806, and with
the Louisiana Purchase
now part of the United
States, they were greeted
as national heroes.Ihave
written a sizeable number
of works for wind
ensemble that draw their
inspiration from the
monumental spaces found
in the American West.
Four of them (Arches, The
Yellowstone Fires,
Glacier, and Zion) take
their names, and in large
part their being, from
actual national parks in
Utah, Wyoming, and
Montana. But Upriver,
although it found its
voice (and its finale) in
the magnificent Columbia
Gorge in Oregon, is about
a much larger region.
This piece, like its
brother works about the
national parks,
doesn’t try to
tell a story. Instead, it
captures the flavor of a
certain time, and of a
grand adventure. Cast in
one continuous movement
and lasting close to
fourteen minutes, the
piece falls into several
subsections, each with
its own heading: The
Dream (in which
Jefferson’s vision
of a vast expanse of
western land is opened);
The Promise, a chorale
that re-appears several
times in the course of
the piece and represents
the seriousness of the
presidential mission; The
River; The Voyageurs; The
River II ; Death and
Disappointment; Return to
the Voyage; and The River
III .The music includes
several quoted melodies,
one of which is familiar
to everyone as the
ultimate “river
song,†and which
becomes the
through-stream of the
work. All of the quoted
tunes were either sung by
the men on the voyage, or
played by
Cruzatte’s fiddle.
From various journals and
diaries, we know the men
found enjoyment and
solace in music, and
almost every night
encampment had at least a
bit of music in it. In
addition to Cruzatte,
there were two other
members of the party who
played the fiddle, and
others made do with
singing, or playing upon
sticks, bones, the
ever-present jaw harps,
and boat horns. From
Lewis’ journals, I
found all the tunes used
in Upriver: Shenandoah
(still popular after more
than 200 years),
V’la bon vent,
Soldier’s Joy,
Johnny Has Gone for a
Soldier, Come Ye Sinners
Poor and Needy (a hymn
sung to the tune
“Beech
Springâ€) and
Fisher’s Hornpipe.
The work follows an
emotional journey: not
necessarily step-by-step
with the Voyage of
Discovery heroes, but a
kind of grand arch.
Beginning in the mists of
history and myth,
traversing peaks and
valleys both real and
emotional (and a solemn
funeral scene), finding
help from native people,
and recalling their zeal
upon finding the one
great river that will, in
fact, take them to the
Pacific. When the men
finally roar through the
Columbia Gorge in their
boats (a feat that even
the Indians had not
attempted), the
magnificent river
combines its theme with
the chorale of
Jefferson’s
Promise. The Dream is
fulfilled: not quite the
one Jefferson had
imagined (there is no
navigable water passage
from the Missouri to the
Pacific), but the dream
of a continental
destiny.

The
concerto has always
seemed an especially
attractive medium to me,
not necessarily because
of its expectations of
virtuosity (although
flaunting it when you've
got it certainly has its
place), and emphatically
not because of the
perception of a concerto
as a contest, but because
so much of what I write
feels song-like; I'm very
much at home with the
age-old texture of melody
and accompaniment. I
hope, before I move on,
to have the opportunity
to write concertos for
all the major
instruments, and perhaps
some of the rarer ones as
well. The oboe is not
only one of the major
instruments, it is one of
my favorite instruments.
I've always loved its
sound, but since moving
to New York I have gotten
to hear and, in some
cases, know some
extremely fine oboists
who broadened my
appreciation of the
instrument's
possibilities. I
especially remember a
concert, probably in the
late 1960's, in which
Humbert Lucarelli played
a Handel concerto,
filling out large melodic
leaps with cascading
scale passages in a way
that raised the hair on
the back of your neck,
somewhat in the way that
John Coltrane's sheets of
sound did. The sweeping
scales in the second
movement of my concerto
were definitely inspired
by Bert Lucarelli's
performance. The first,
third and fifth movements
of the Concerto for Oboe
and Orchestra are
song-like, whereas the
second and fourth have
strong scherzo and dance
qualities, including a
couple of sections that
sound like out-and-out
pirate dances to me. The
hymn-like tune at the
beginning of the middle
movement was originally
begun as a vocal piece to
be sung by my wife, son
and daughter at my
brother's wedding, but I
couldn't come up with
good works for it, so it
ended up as an
instrumental chant. The
opening and closing of
the concerto make use of
the oboe's uniquely
soulful singing. I had
not heard Pamela Woods
Pecha's solo playing in
person when she
approached me about
writing a concerto, but I
had heard her fine
recording of chamber
music for oboe and
strings by the three B's
(English, that is: Bliss,
Bax and Britten) with the
Audubon Quartet. I
actually already had some
oboe concerto ideas in my
sketchbooks; although I
didn't end up using any
of those earlier ideas,
it's interesting that
most of them tended to
share the general feeling
and tonality of the
eventual opening of the
concerto. The work was
completed on October 13,
1994. I hate the
compromises involved in
making piano reductions
-- perhaps I would feel
differently if I were a
more accomplished pianist
-- so I often decide to
make piano reductions for
four hands rather than
two. My good friend Jon
Kimura Parker is a
terrific sight-reader,
and I roped him into
coming over to my place
on February 17, 1995, to
help me accompany Pamela
on the first read-through
of the piece. The first
performance of the work
took place on July 21,
1995, at the American
Music Festival in Duncan,
Oklahoma, with Mark
Parker conducting the
