With
its 50 Blues rhythms
inspired by the biggest
hits of the greatest
guitarists of all time
(Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy,
Albert King, Muddy
Waters, Stevie Ray
Vaughan, Robert Cray,
Albert Collins, B.B.
King, T-Bone Walker
etc.), this tutorial will
keep you pleasantly busy
for quite a while. But
there’s more to it
than that! Besides
affording pleasure, these
rhythms allow you to
discover and study the
tools required for a good
Blues accompaniment:
triads, double stops,
single notes, bends,
barre chords, slides,
hammer-ons, pull-offs,
rest strokes, binary and
shuffle rhythms, etc. All
this is included in the
guidelines given to you
in the preliminary
chapter –guidelines
regarding the structure,
the rhythm, as well as
the chords employed. The
DVD attached to the
tutorial offers you the
possibility to mindfully
observe all 50 rhythms
– first at actual
playing speed, then at a
slower speed. This again
gives you the opportunity
to closely follow the
movement of the hands, to
choose the right
fingerings and keep a
steady beat(!) For its
part, the MP3 CD is
composed of as many
backing tracks as there
are rhythms in the
tutorial; the 50 backing
tracks are recorded at
two different tempi: the
intended tempo (actual
playing speed) and the
rehearsal tempo (slower
speed). On the backing
track at actual playing
speed the Guitar is only
present during the first
round, then it
disappears, yielding the
floor to you. The backing
tracks provided here are
of an appropriate length
(about 4 to 5 minutes
each, which sums up to
almost 7h of musical
practice). This means
that you have enough time
at your disposal to
practice under the best
conditions.

Of Time
and Passing (2016) is a
cycle of three choral
songs written
specifically for the
London-based ensemble,
VOCES8, taking into
consideration their
versatilityand ability to
beautifully intone a
range of vocal colors
with precision and
grace.
The first
song, I. Life, sets my
translation of the poem A
Vida by Brazilian poet
Olavo Bilac (1865-1918),
a poet I discovered while
studying Brazilian
Portuguese at the
University of Michigan. I
was drawn both to the
simplicity of the text
and to the possibilities
of teasing out dual
contrasting moods. In the
beginning and end, this
song explores a texture
that is very much alive:
wave-like contours,
throbbing sounds, and
plenty of flowing
movement. Rising
eighth-note motives in
particular emphasize the
fleetingness of life. But
in the middle of the
song, the listener is
given a slowed-down
atmosphere to savor
life's beauty.
II.
To Everything a Season
capitalizes on VOCES8's
ability to effectively
interpret popular genres
a cappella. This ancient
text is taken from
Ecclesiastes (dated
around 300 B.C.) but I
set it to a modern,
rhythmically-regular and
percussive pop-style
idiom. Since popular
music in whatever era is
designed to appeal to
a specific ?present
time?, it is by its very
nature ephemeral, and
therefore seemed an apt
metaphor to evoke the
transitory nature of
seasons.
III. Into
Your Hands, confines the
writing into no more than
four parts, often with
octave unisons.This
creates a more direct and
word-focused setting in
which the Psalmist?s
urgent words are placed
at the forefront. Largely
homophonic, this song is
at times chorale-like, at
times
madrigal-like, finall
y relinquishing it?s
tension into peaceful
rest, proclaiming ?You
have redeemed me, O Lord,
faithful God??

My Eighth
and Ninth String
Quartets, begun in late
2017, are sonic cousins.
Akin to real cousins,
each piece exhibits
differing natures. They
were requested by two
ensembles that have
become asecond familiesa
to me: The Jupiter
Quartet of Urbana,
Illinois and the Amernet
Quartet based in Miami,
Florida. Their collective
dedication to, and care
for, our art remains a
personal and constant
are-fuelinga for me. The
quartets were
commissioned by, and
dedicated to, Margaret
and Philip Verleger of
Denver, Colorado.
Additional financial
support was provided by
the School of Music at
Stetson University,
Timothy Peter, Dean.
Quartet No.8 is laid out
in a classical
four-movement design. The
work does break somewhat
from conventional
tradition by often
placing quartet members
into soloistic roles as
the movement titles note.
individual The opening
piece presents at the
outset a three-note motto
which is turned over,
tumbled, and
energetically discussed,
primarily by a violin
duet. It is a duel. The
two players part company
only infrequently during
the movement's progress,
pausing briefly for other
commentary by their
alower cohortsa, the
Viola and Cello do not
argue, but abet their
friends' aeffortsa. The
piece's overall character
is fairly bright and
dancelike, closing in an
unresolvedastandoffa. not
Two principal
asound-objectsa stitch
the second movement
scherzo together: sliding
hands (glissandos) and a
plucked ashufflea
(pizzicato) - both
instigated by the (solo)
cellist. The others are
influenced - or are not -
by their aleadera, and
follow - or interrupt -
the cello throughout
their four-voiced
conversation. The third
movement (longest of the
set) is an elegy
dedicated to the memory
of a close personal
friend, the American
composer David Maslanka
(1943 - 2017). Its'
genesis is a simple
5-note melody derived
from my own name
(SaC/DaC/EaC/H). This
line commences in the
(solo) viola and is
obsessively uttered
without relief during the
movement's lamentations.
The closing movement
revisits much of that
opening three-note
material, but now dressed
up for the full quartet
to view. It is a slowly
accelerating romp which -
twice - cannot avoid a
nod to the Amernet and
Jupiter performers by
offering a humble bow to
the 4th movement of
Gustav Holst's PLANETS -
Jupiter: The Bringer of
Jollity. My quartet
serves as an honouring
salute of thanks for the
talent, respect, and
friendship of these two
young quartets. STRING
QUARTET No. 8 is roughly
22 minutes in duration.
It was written as an
homage to Franz Joseph
Haydn, my
adesert-island-composera,
and completed in Holly
Hill, Florida in early
April of 2019. S.H.

Commissione
d by Boston Musica Viva
with funds provided by
Catherine and Paul
Buttenwieser, premiered
on March 15, 2002, in
Boston, directed by
Richard Pittman, Wu Yu is
composed for flute,
clarinet (doubling bass
clarinet), bassoon,
violin, cello and
percussion (vibraphone,
bongo, Japanese high
woodblock, cymbal, 2
Chinese gongs, tom-tom
and bass drum), in two
movements. Wu Yu was a
ritual dance in ancient
China, which includes
song and dance performed
with ox tails in hands.
It's a ceremony of
praying to the deity for
rain. In the first
movement of my
composition Wu Yu, I use
the flute, clarinet and
bassoon to play in
heterophonic style,
imitating the tunes
played by a group of
suona players in a
village ceremony (the
blowing instrument suona
is a shawm, made with
wood), while using other
instruments to create
sheng-like sustained
chords (the Chinese
traditional instrument
sheng is a free-reed
mouth-organ, made with a
gourd). The music starts
slowly, and gets faster
and faster towards the
coda. In the second
movement, I imitate a
whole group of Chinese
traditional percussion
instruments played in the
folk ensemble music
Shifan Gong-and-drum in
Southeast China, which is
often used in ceremonies
and village gatherings.
The music is brought to a
climax at the end of the
work. The whole piece
lasts about 14 minutes.

Morton
Gould composed
brilliantly for
orchestra, Broadway,
film, television, ballet
and piano. He became
nationally recognized
through his work in
radio, where he
introduced many of his
own compositions in a
light, distinctly
American style. This
arrangement of his
Pavanne, from Symphonette
No. 2, is for 2 pianos,
and it is unusually
bright and sprightly (and
almost jazzy) for what is
traditionally a slower
and statelier dance form.
It has distinctly
American and popular
styling and is
appropriate for two late
intermediate level
pianists. Two scores are
included. A Federation

with orchestrated
accompaniments. Each
piece has two tracks: one
at performance tempo and
one at practice tempo. An
optional duet
accompaniment, based on
the orchestration, is
included for all pieces
at the early levels. The

valuable ensemble
experience while making
practice more fun. This

The
3 Impromptus by Richard
Lane are excellent
examples of a composer in
full possession of his
craft, an accomplished
musician capable of
writing beautiful music
at any level of
difficulty. Lane
composed Impromptu I (no
specified dedicatee but
most likely written for
one of his students) in
December 1972 at the age
of 39. The Impromptu
II is dated June 1977 and
was written for Eric
Neumann who writes: [...]
This Impromptu II written
for me was a graduation
present. I had studied
with Richard Lane for
three years, starting
with composition. After
my piano teacher retired,
“Dick agreed to
teach me piano to prepare
for college auditions.
With his support, I was
accepted at the Eastman
School of Music, his alma
mater. The work was
written as his impression
of my finger dexterity in
the fast sections and my
contemplative spirit in
the slower section.
The Impromptu III was
written 9 years later
(Oct. 1986) and is
dedicated to Dahwei Kuo,
most certainly also a
Richard Lane student. A
light, elegant piece with
an impish sense of humor
and some technical
challenges thrown in for
good measure. The
numerous unpublished
piano works (including
those for 2 pianos or 4
hands) by Richard Lane,
composer and pianist, are
all marvelous gems to be
discovered as we proceed
with the exclusive
Editions Bim publications
planned for the coming

Irish Folk
Song.
This setting
of the popular Irish folk
song Londonderry Air
begins in the key of
B-flat major and
modulates to the key of D
major. The flowing melody
is supported by lush
harmonies that span the
range of the keyboard.
The melody begins in the
secondo and moves back
and forth between the
parts throughout this
evenly leveled duet. The
piece builds to a
dramatic conclusion with
rich chords in a slower
tempo that is broad and
grand.
