At my
friend's house, they
celebrate both Christmas
and Hanukkah. Now you can
too, with the same piece
of music. Two traditional
seasonal songs, Christmas
Is Coming, the Goose Is
Getting Fat and The
Dreidel Song, are
combined. Discuss with
your students some of the
compositional techniques
(imitation, augmentation)
or tonalities that are
used to fit these two
tunes together. The many
teachable moments make
this a blast to teach and
play!

Roger Zare
is living every young
composer's dream. At a
tender age, he has
already been lauded by
the best, and his
compositions continue to
earn awards. Green Flash,
his first publication
with Theodore Presser
Company, was written in
2007 for the USC Thornton
Symphony, received a BMI
Student Composer award in
2007, was chosen to be
read at the 2008 American
Composers Orchestra
Underwood New Music
Readings, won the ASCAP
Rudolf Nissim Prize in
2009, and has now won the
2012 Symphony in C Young
Composers' Competition.
For more about Green
Flash and a YouTube video
of the premiere
performance, see the
composer's website
(www.rogerzare.com/greenf
lash.htm). A
“green flashâ€
is a rare atmospheric
phenomenon that occurs as
a sunset reaches its end.
If conditions are just
right, then a spark of
green will hover on the
horizon for a fleeting
moment as the sun
disappears. I first
witnessed this subtle
effect in Florida in
2005. Seeing the mythical
event for the first time
inspiredthis composition.
Green Flash is a musical
journey from daybreak to
sunset. It focuses on the
manipulation of colors
and textures throughout
its five sections. The
musical events are
designed to paint a
picture of various scenes
during the day. The piece
begins with the heartbeat
of the world emerging
from the silentdarkness
of the night. As night
transitions to dawn,
waves of color propagate
from the repeating low C,
building up through the
harmonic series to become
the vibrant colors of
sunrise. Eventually all
twelve notes of the
chromatic scale are
sounding together.
Abruptly, a morning fog
engulfs the scene. Out of
the mist rises the only
melodic theme in the
work, played by a solo
English horn, and later
taken up by other solo
winds. Once the fog
dissipates, the sky fills
with the playful dance of
wispy cirrus clouds. A
rainbow-like halo
surrounds the sun, adding
a burst of color to the
scene. This carefree,
optimistic cloud dance is
invaded by a menacing
front of cumulonimbus
clouds. A storm rages at
a frantic pace, but in
its dying breath yields
the most glorious of
sunsets. Only as the last
glint of sunlight
disappears below the
horizon, a faint sparkle
of green lingers in the
atmosphere.

Full of
rhythmic energy and
contrasts, you will find
this pairing of two
popular patriotic songs,
My Country, 'Tis of Thee
and America the
Beautiful, appealing to
players and audiences.
Eventually, every section
gets to play the melody,
and it is full of
passages which lend to
teaching stylistic march
technique. Whether a
concert, festival, or
patriotic event, this
march provides material
that will engage players
and listeners with a
flag-waving moment.

40:1
The words of
Isaiah the prophet jump
from the pages of this
anthem as a celebration
of God's promise to send
a redeemer. This is a
good choice for the
season of advent or lent
as it asks the believer
to “prepare the
way” for the
arrival of Christ and the
lectionary offers
opportunities for these
words of preparation to
be incorporated into
worship. The memorable
harmonic progression on
the words “Comfort
Ye my People” is a
rich and expressive
moment for the choir and
gentle quiescent codetta
is a restrained touch
that adds an elegant
finale to this scripture
based anthem of
encouragement. Multiple

Uplifting. Ambitious.
Important. Tribute. Bold.
There are many adjectives
to describe Canadian
Shawn Mendes' and
American Khalid's musical
response to the horrors
of gun violence and
national tragedy. But
amidst the noise and the
accolades, this powerful
music video contains a
message that ceases to be
forgotten: You can't take
my youth away. Mac Huff
arranges the song sure to
be a watershed moment in
the career and
development of Mendes as
a musician with something
to say.
