The Essay for Strings was written in 1986 in memory of Glenn Hull, a colleague and the choir director at Norfolk State University during my early years there. His sudden passing was a shock, and I expressed my sadness in this work. It was premiered that year by the NSU orchestra at their Winter concert. In w000, after conductor-composer Coleridge Taylor Perkinson gave the work its second performance in Chicago (with the ensemble of the Center For Black Music Reasearch), I decided to add it to my catalog of orchestra works. The designation Essay refers to the fact that the piece is based on one idea (like a literary essay). In this case the musical idea (or motive) is made from the initials of my deceased friend, Glenn Hull (G and H in music are represented by the pitches G and B-natural). These two notes are sounded throughout the work in tribute to him.

ISBN 9781579992378. English.

This major band method by James O. Froseth has it all: Artist performers set musical standards in sound with more than 80 great performances on CD for every instrument, and one CD lasts for the entire book! Performers include: Michael Henoch (Chicago Symphony Orchestra), Randall Hawes, Jeffrey Zook, Sharon Sparrow, Kevin Good (Detroit Symphony Orchestra), Albert Blaser (Cleveland State University), Brian Bowman (Duquesne University), Timothy McAllister (Crane School of Music, SUNY at Potsdam), Steve Houghton (LA percussion recording artist and clinician), Donald Sinta, Richard Beene, Bryan Kennedy, Debra Chodacki, Fritz Kaenzig (University of Michigan), Kristin Beene (Toledo Symphony Orchestra), and Jean Moorehead Libs (Plymouth Symphony Orchestra). Professional studio backgrounds capture the rich diversity of American music culture with a repertoire of American, Latin American, African, European, and Far Eastern styles. Music of other times includes 12th-century conductus, 15th-century Dance of the Bouffons, 16th-century French branle, 18th- and 19th-century folk songs and dances, 1940s and '50s jazz, blues, and rock-and-roll. The repertoire and recorded contexts are motivating, informative, and entirely musical. Every song includes text, providing information about phrasing, rhythm, style, affect, emotion, history, and culture. A unique Rhythmic Pattern Dictionary allows students to look it up and listen up. An individualized format allows students to progress at different rates with a theme and variation format. Ear training and improvisation are integral parts of the lesson format. A 550+ page Teacher's Resource edition and musical score provides options galore, including a double CD with listen and play exercises for group instruction, supplementary exercises for technical development, and resource material for improvisation and composition. All the resources needed for teaching to the National Standards for Music are provided (coordinates with rhythm flashcards). Book 2 features innovative, but optional use of world percussion instruments, as developed by percussion educator Steve Houghton.

The Puckish Poltergeist, a programmatic work based on the pranks of a devious poltergeist, contrasts the terrifying and the comical. Through the use of rapid meter changes, simultaneous duple and triple rhythmic patterns, and contrasting textural scoring, the composer vividly conjures to mind frightened castle dwellers as they run from varied assortments of flying furniture and kitchen utensils, and the slightly bent puck, as he plays his little 'pranks.' Composed in the spring of 1991, The Pucking Poltergeist was premiered in Chicago at the 45th Mid-West International Band and Orchestra Clinic by the VanderCook College of Music Symphonic Band under the direction of Roger Rocco. It subsequently received a performance by the United States Military Band at West Point Acadamy. In February of 1993, it was featured as one of five works selected for the Symposium XVII for New Band Music at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.

As a native Londoner, composer Philip Sparke has always been attracted to the great cities of the world, fascinated by their varied moods and human diversity. London, Chicago, Tokyo, Paris, Rome and New York all have their own characters but also share much in common. This overture is a salute to the energy and grandeur of such cities. A fantastic new concert work for moderately advanced bands.

Als echte Londenaar is Philip Sparke altijd al gefascineerd door de metropolen van de wereld en de verschillende sferen en diversiteit aan mensen die wereldsteden eigen zijn. Deze ouverture is een hommage aan de energie en prachtvan zulke grote steden. Hun talrijke contrasterende eigenschappen weerspiegelen zich in wisselende stemmingen. Het zijn deze stemmingen die de bedrijvigheid, de majestueuze architectuur en de prettige maar ook minder prettige aspectenvan een leven in de stad belichten.

Als Londoner war Philip Sparke schon immer fasziniert von den Metropolen dieser Welt, den diversen Stimmungen und der Vielfaltigkeit menschlichen Lebens. Diese Ouvertüre ist ein Salut an die Energie und die Pracht solcher Grossstadte. Ihre kontrastierenden Eigenschaften spiegeln sich in wechselnden Stimmungen wider, welche die Betriebsamkeit der Grossstadt, die majestatische Architektur sowie die eleganten und weniger vornehmen Aspekte des stadtischen Lebens beleuchten.

Cette ouverture rend hommage a la grandeur et a l'energie des plus grandes villes du monde. Philip Sparke y depeint les contrastes de caractere a travers des atmospheres sans cesse changeantes. Les couleurs sonores et les chiff rages de mesure multicontrastes decrivent les avantages et les inconvenients de la vie dans une metropole.

Questa ouverture rende omaggio alla grandezza e all'energia delle piu grandi ed importanti citta del mondo. Philip Sparke dipinge le diversita delle citta e dei loro abitanti attraverso atmosfere che cambiano per rappresentare e descrivere al meglio le mille diversita che caratterizzano ogni metropoli.

Rock Life in the Sixties--Augmented Edition. Composed by Edited by Ellen Sander. Reference Textbooks; Textbook - General. Dover Edition. Rock. Book. Dover Publications #06-828476. Published by Dover Publications (AP.6-828476).

ISBN 9780486828473. English.

Name an iconic Sixties rock moment and Ellen Sander was probably there. A beautifully written, sweeping yet intimate account of America's cultural awakening in that decade. Massively entertaining -- Rolling Stone.

As a pioneering rock journalist for Hit Parader, Vogue, Saturday Review, and other publications, Ellen Sander had a backstage pass to the hottest music scenes of the 1960s. In this feast of juicy anecdotes and keen social commentary, she draws upon her professional and personal experiences to chronicle pop culture's highs and lows during the turbulent decade. Join her for weird and wild road trips with companions ranging from Yippies to the members of Led Zeppelin. Stops along the way include the folk music clubs of Greenwich Village, Haight-Ashbury in its riotous heyday, and the euphoric festivals at Monterey and Woodstock.
It is a memoir, a sourcebook, and a love letter, Sander writes, a recollection of a time, parenthesized by ambivalence and apathy, a search for the ultimate high, a generation with an irrepressible vision, its art, artists, its audience, and the substance of its statement. This expanded edition of Trips adds The Plaster Casters of Chicago, Sander's seminal piece on groupie culture, the lengthy Concerts and Conversations, as well as a new Preface and chapter postscripts.

Simply one of the best pieces of rock reportage ever written. -- Los Angeles Review of Books.
