When
the Newport Music
Festival commissioned me
for a piano trio in honor
of their 2021 season, I
looked for a topic that
would celebrate an aspect
of the Newport community.
While researching the
area, I was struck by the
nine lighthouses situated
around the island. The
dual nature of
lighthouses was
particularly appealing to
me: not only do they
serve a vital role in the
navigation of ships
around rocks and land,
but they are also a
beautiful sight,
particularly at night
when their blinking
beacons are clearly
visible to the eye. It
occurred to me that
lighthouses link the past
with the present, and
will endure long into the
future, with their
beacons serving the same
purpose for every
generation.I became
fascinated with the
lighthouse on the
property of Castle Hill
Inn, located at the
opening of the East
Passage of the
Narragansett Bay. This
squat thirty-four foot
granite structure was
erected in 1890 on a very
picturesque spot, right
at the water’s
edge. Its
“characteristic,â
the nautical term
for each
lighthouse’s
unique light sequence
that allows ships to
identify the lighthouse,
is to alternate on for
three seconds, then off
for three seconds. The
lighthouse has also
served as the starting
and finish line for
numerous high profile
yacht races, as well as
survived a massive
hurricane in 1938, though
the lighthouse
keeper’s nearby
residence wasn’t
so lucky. American
novelist Thornton Wilder
wrote much of his 1973
novel Theophilus North
while staying at the
Castle Hill Inn; a
passage from the book
perfectly captures the
dual nature of
lighthouses:“At a
later visit I was able to
engage the pentagonal
room in a turret above
the house; from that
magical room I could see
at night the beacons of
six lighthouses and hear
the booming and chiming
of as many sea
buoys.â€In Beacon of
the Bay, we first hear
the lighthouse’s
characteristic as its
ruby light blinks on and
off. This is followed by
a simple theme that
represents the lighthouse
performing its solitary
duty. As the piece
progresses, we hear waves
playfully lapping around
its base, then yachts
gracefully floating by;
this is followed by a
violent storm that churns
the waves with so much
force that they crash
against the
lighthouse’s
granite body. But the
steadfast lighthouse
holds firm to the rocks,
grandly blinking its ruby
light. The music quiets
back down to its simple
theme, with yachts
sailing by once more as
the piece concludes.

Though a
piano can always be
included, it is not an
essential requirement for
the performance of these
settings: in some of the
carols, two violins or
two flutes are quite
sufficient, especially if
voices are used as well.
The following
combinations are
particularly suitable for
domestic music-making,
whether or not voices are
included as well:one
violin and piano,two
violins and piano,two or
three violins,violins and
recorders,two concert (C)
flutes (and an alto
flute) and - as the ideal
combination for
shepherds' songs -
flutes, violins, cello
and piano.Performing
groups and music schools
have the advantage of a
wider choice of forces
and the possibility of
varying the
instrumentation within
the individual carols and
verses. Thus large and
small combinations can
alternate, strings and
flutes can play in turn,
and finally the piano can
be used by itself or to
reinforce other
instrumental
combinations, in which
case the cello can be
added, too.The pieces are
graded in increasing
order of difficulty; the
first carols are chosen
so that they can be
mastered by violinists
after as little as 4 to 6
months of learning their
instrument. The choise
and sequence of the
carols in this book, and
also their keys, were
determined, amongst other
factors, by their
suitability for the start
of violin tuition, both
in first and in third
position, so that these
carols make an especially
good supplement of
Christmas music to the
violin method of Fritz
and Gottfried Scharlach
(with its principle of
starting with the third
position). The
progressively increasing
difficulty of the carols
has resulted, for
example, in the three
Advent carols (nos.
23-25) being placed later
in the collection.The
editor hopes that these
carols will be much
played and sung, and thus
help to fill the
Christmas season with joy
and splendour.Fritz
Scharlach, Salzburg,
December 1972
Our
beautiful Christmas
carols, old and new, are
presented here in
settings, ranging from
the easy to the more
difficult, for various
combinations of voices
and instruments that may
be available in domestic
music-making or for a
Christmas concert.

Adler's
milestone String Quartet
No. 10 was composed for
the Cassatt String
Quartet for performance
at the Bowdoin
International Music
Festival's 50th
Anniversary season in
2014. Built in a single
movement of contrasting
sections, Adler's 10th
will continue to be
featured in upcoming
concerts by the Cassatt
Quartet, including a
performance in Beijing in
July. The String
Quartet No. 10 was
written in 2013 for the
50th anniversary of the
Bowdoin International
Summer Music Festival and
is dedicated to the
Cassatt Quartet who
premiered the work during
the 50th anniversary
celebration in July 2014.
 The work was written
with a generous grant
from the Fromm Music
Foundation.The 10th
String Quartet is in one
continuous movement but
divided into four
sections. Â The first
section is a slow
introduction which
presents the basic
harmonic material of the
entire work. Â This is
suddenly interrupted by a
very agitated movement
forming a great contrast
to the calm of the
beginning. Â This
rhythmic drive comes to a
stop and is relieved by
the third section which
is a variation of the
beginning, but is a bit
longer and more
developed. Â This is
followed by the final
section which again
captures the agitation of
the second section and
brings the work to a wild
and most aggressive
end.—Samuel
Adler.

Barbara
Heller's duet
'Herbstmusik' [Autumnal
Music] for cello and
piano is a short piece of
5-6 minutes' duration
which is as vibrant and
colourful as the season
itself and a welcome
addition to the
repertoire for this
combination of
instruments. Graded at
intermediate level, it is
also a suitable extension
to the contemporary
repertoire for advanced
young cellists and for
playing in youth music
competitions (age range
11-16).This piece only
requires players to use
the first four positions
plus harmonics.
Fingerings and bowings
were added in
collaboration with the
cellist Katharina Deserno
from Cologne. An
improvised solo cello
cadenza may be added,
starting from the Bb with
fermata in bar 88. This
might draw on the musical
material in the preceding
bars 85-88, possibly
making use of motifs and
playing techniques
already featured in the
piece, such as 'col
legno' or 'pizzicato' -
but no limits should be
placed upon the
performer's
imagination.

In
1901, Flor Alpaerts
finished his music
studies at the Flemish
School of Music of
Antwerp, which later
became the Royal Flemish
Conservatory. He studied
harmony and composition
with Jan Blockx. In 1903
he became professor at
this institute and from
1934 until 1941 its
director. For one season
(1922-1923) he was also
director of the Royal
Flemish Opera House of
Antwerp together with the
Bass Arthur Steurbaut.
His fame, as a composer
and a conductor, came
shortly after World War
I, when he succeeded in
1919 Eduard Keurvels as
conductor of the concerts
organized by the Royal
Zoological Society of
Antwerp and as artistic
director of the Peter
Benoit Fonds. He also
conducted the choral
group Arti Vocali. As a
composer, Flor Alpaerts
was the leading figure in
the Flemish
impressionistic movement.
An impressionism that
came closer to Richard
Strauss and Ottorino
Respighi than to Claude
Debussy. A highlight in
this direction was the
symphonic poem Pallieter
(1921-1924). With his
suite James Ensor,
inspired by four works of
the Ostend painter, he
created an
expressionistic work. In
his later compositions he
turned to
neo-classicism.

Marc-Antoine
Charpentier not only
originated the Eurovision
Melody, rather he also
made an important
contribution to French
sacred music from the
baroque with his
oratorios, motets and
cantatas. The four
cantatas for the season
of Christmas (CV
21.019-21.022) are now
published in first
editions. The Latin texts
of these works for
Christmas, the New Year,
Epiphany, and the
Purification are based on
the accounts of the
Gospels, which are
paraphrased in the form
of poetic texts. As in
Charpentier's extensive
Histoires sacrees, the
musical structure is
oratorical, with a part
for the evangelist and
texts spoken directly by
biblical personages and
groups of people (angels,
Herodes, shepherds, wise
men). In each work the
vocal scoring includes
two sopranos and a bass
(those passages where a
number of voices sing
together can be performed
either by soloists or by
a choir). With this
uniform scoring it would
be meaningful to perform
these works as a cycle,
in the manner of a small
Christmas oratorio. Score

Five Pieces
for Violin and Orchestra
was commissioned by
Frederick Grinke and
completed on 20 December
1961. The BBC Symphony
Orchestra with Frederick
Grinke (violin) and
conducted by the
composer, gave the first
performance on 31 July
1962 at the Royal Albert
Hall, London during the
BBC Proms season. This
work is so constructed
that each piece is
complete in itself and
can be played separately,
while at the same time
the whole set of five
constitutes a structural
unit. A basic motif
consisting of a rising
semitone followed by a
falling tone, and its
inversion plays an
important part in every
piece. Thus the first
piece, which is of a slow
and meditative character,
begins with this theme in
the bass. It is also
heard in the first entry
of the solo part, and
thereafter every episode
is in some way derived
from it. The next piece,
a vigorous and strongly
marked 'allegro', uses
the semitone of the
original figure as its
starting point. A second
theme appears, first on
the horns and is later
taken up by the solo
violin, while a third
section has the initial
idea as its
accompaniment. Next comes
an extended scherzo in
free form very closely
based on initial motif.
The fourth is a purely
melodic piece containing
allusions in its middle
section to the basic
figure. Here the strings
only are used for
accompaniment. In the
first section, violas and
cellos are divided in the
middle section, and all
the strings are used in
the last, which is
otherwise an almost exact
repetition of the
opening. The Finale is a
lighter movement than the
others, concerned mainly
with giving the soloist
material for display, but
not unconnected with what
has gone before.

A warm and
richly scored setting of
the popular Christmas
carol Bring a Torch
Jeanette, Isabella, this
full sounding arrangement
will greatly enrich
seasonal programming. Roy
Phillippe has employed a
broad palette of harmonic
and instrumental colors
to craft a memorable
holiday
selection. Bring a
Torch is a lovely
Christmas carol. Using
techniques such as
suspensions,
re-harmonization and
modulations, my goal is
to provide an interesting
showcase for this
familiar melody. the
introduction in F major
features sustained
violins with a pattern of
moving eighth notes in
the violas and cellos.
This pattern recurs
throughout the piece. The
first statement of the
melody is in the first
violins. The second
violins supply harmonic
support along with the
viola/cello pattern.
Measures 13-29 feature a
section of tutti chordal
playing. Measure 30
crescendos into the
modulation to D major at
m. 32. Here, the dynamic
is forte, and the
viola/cello pattern
returns. At m. 40, the
violas and cellos have
the melody with violin
accompaniment. A
crescendo begins at m. 44
and builds
to fortissimo at m.
48, featuring a
modulation to G major. At
this point the melody
should soar. A
descrescendo at m. 60 is
followed by a ritard
at m. 64. The final four
measures are in the
original tempo ending on
a tutti chord.Careful
attention to dynamics,
especially in the
accompanying parts, will
result in a fine
performance.
