Bachs Anstellung im Jahr 1723 als Kantor der Thomaskirche in Leipzig brachte die Verpflichtung mit sich, für jeden Sonntagsgottesdienst eine neue Kantate zu schreiben.

A Greensleeves Fantasy. Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Nicolás Humberto Repetto. Set of Score and Parts. Duration 2 minutes, 24 seconds. Carl Fischer Music #YAS220. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.YAS220).

Heart of Gold (A Greensleeves Fantasy) is a fresh take on a traditional favorite, drawing its name from the lyrics of the original secular song, “Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold.” The piece starts with an introduction that flows into the familiar poignant melody, using beautiful and unexpected harmonies for a contemporary sound. The Second Violins and Viola have an opportunity to shine as well as they take over the theme with a wonderful swelling crescendo leading to the heart of the piece. A Solo Violin and Solo Cello restate the melody against the pizzicato accompaniment motif established in the beginning. The Optional Piano part adds magic and enhances the orchestration throughout.Performance Notes: Start the introduction very quietly. Exaggerate the dynamics throughout. Make the pizzicato nice and full while staying under the melody in the first violins. At measure 13, this countermelody in the first violins should be felt and not obscure the Greensleeves melody played by the second violins and violas, so make sure to balance it accordingly. At measure 20, exaggerate the crescendo and once forte is reached, maintain that intensity all the way to the decrescendo at measure 36. The solo violin line should be played with lots of expression and soar above the pizzicato figures. Pizzicato figures should be light and full, played closer to the fingerboard. At measure 45, the cello solo should be strong and connected singing high above the rest of the sections. Make sure the arco strings in this section do not overpower the cello line.

Hungarian.

Taken together, the ten volumes of the Virágos (Flowers) series comprise a large collection of over 1000 folk songs. In the 1920s, it was considered increasingly important in Hungarian musical life that young people should sing more Hungarian songs, rather than ones borrowed from abroad. This purpose was served by Lajos Bárdos's pocket-sized book 101 Hungarian Folk Songs, which was published at the end of the 1920s with a preface by Kodály. As Bárdos later said: 'It was not me but Szabolcsi and others, who claimed that this laid the foundations of the singing of folk songs by young people in the towns, and through them adults too.' Later, following the pattern of this volume,the Virágos series was launched, with the first two volumes published in 1952 and 1957, again edited by Lajos Bárdos. Subsequently, with contributions from outstanding specialists like Benjamin Rajeczky, György Deák Bárdos, Károly Mathia and others, the series grew within fifteen years to ten volumes.

Ken Berg has worked with his magic again, taking this nursery rhyme, popular all over the Spanish-speaking world, and arranged it for choir, piano and percussion. The words are about little chicks and their mother hen feeding them in the cycle of life. The percussion brings an authenticity to the sound and the multiple modulations are surprisingly placed to great effect and always fun.

White Light was commissioned by Fumiko Teramoto, oboist with the Musashino Grand Concert Band in Tokyo, Japan. The request was for a moderately slow piece of intermediate difficulty that included the work “white” (Ms. Teramoto's lucky color) in the title. The composer used this suggestion to write a piece that was both bright and light in terms of harmony, color and orchestration, with much use of simple major and minor chords and an emphasis on the pure, transparent timbres of the upper woodwinds of the band; he was also keen to capture the essence and history of the oboe as a solo instrument. The piece is pastoral in character and often almost baroque in style. It opens with a chorale-like passage on flutes and clarinets; the soloist enters with a recitative over trilling clarinets. The main theme is then introduced, accompanied by the woodwinds. After a short bridge passage, a change of key heralds a second theme by the soloist, with gentle brass punctuations. This builds to a climax, ending on a high trill from the soloist. After short passage over a timpani roll, the band recalls the main theme, taken up once again by the soloist. This leads to a short cadenza before the closing bars bring the work peacefully to a close.

The phoenix is a mythical symbol that dates back to ancient times, representing the idea of rebirth and being born again out of the ashes. This piece explores the idea of taking a rhythmic motive and developing it in such a way that it gains momentum, then dies away before rising to even greater heights. Set in E minor, this piece works in particular on the finger pattern for D-sharp accidentals in all parts. The fiery theme builds slowly using accented accompaniments and dramatic dynamics to build intensity. A brief lull reveals a lyrical melody, allowing players to perfect four-note slurs with optional shifting in first violin. Then the opening theme returns with even greater fire, growing to a glorious finale.
