û¿Zat
ten was
commissioned in 2005 by
Trumpeter Paul Neebe
during the composer's
vacation to do ancestral
research in the town of
Zatten, currently part of
Poland. Roger Petrich
writes the following
about his Zatten Concerto
for Trumpet: The
'DNA' of this compostion
tracks back to my
great-grandfather and the
tiny Plattdeutsch village
where he was born.
Zatten, [then] located in
the eastern part of
Berlin/Brandenburg is in
an area of forest and
small farms dating back
to the 1600's. My
grandfather R. T.
Petrich, whose initials I
bear, was six years old
when he, along with his
parents, sister, and
older brother left
Prussia to start a new
life in the USA. My
own childhood memories
include many visits to
the family homestead in
Dakota Territory, where I
used to play in the barn
which hosted many summer
dances. The Dakota sky
was vast by day, and
nights could become
magical with the addition
of the Northern Lights.
Though not a professional
musician, my father kept
up his trumpet playing
all his life. In a
special way it was his
voice - a sound that
deeply imprinted all my
growing up years. All of
this is mixed together in
my Zatten
Concerto The Zatten
Concerto is in three
movements, the two outer
movements faster and the
middle is a Largo. This
work is appropriate for
advanced
performers. The title
Zatten (the
name of the small village
in Germany where his
family was located before
immigrating to the USA)
is spelled out in Morse
Code in the very opening
eight bars of the work.
The Concerto is
originally written for
Trumpet and String
Orchestra, this version
using a reduction for
Piano.

The
Power of the KING
is the latest Christmas
musical from Simply
WordKidz, the
best-selling easy-learn,
easy-sing series for
children’s choir
from Word Music & Church
Resources. The story
behind The Power of
the KING, written
and created by Gina Boe
and Barb Dorn, revolves
around radio station
K-I-N-G. A major winter
storm is threatening to
shut down the entire
state. The power grid is
failing all around, and
highways are closing due
to dangerous road
conditions. A bus
transporting a
children’s choir
on their Christmas tour
is stranded by the storm,
so the choir takes refuge
at the radio station. The
timing of the winter
storm couldn’t be
worse, as the
station’s power
goes off just as they are
about to broadcast the
annual Christmas show.
Unable to play any
recorded music due to the
limitations of the backup
generator, the radio
station staff hastily
scrambles to put together
a live radio broadcast
telling the joyous Good
News of the Christmas
story, with the help of
the stranded
children’s choir!
The Power
of the KING from
the Simply WordKidz
Series… the perfect
way to bring your church
and community together
this Christmas, in
celebration of the
miracle of
Christ’s birth!

WATCHNIGHT
is, in many ways, a
traditional Christmas Eve
service, with all of the
moments that have defined
similar services over the
years; quiet music,
children reading the
Christmas Story,
candlelight and
communion. But this
musical worship time is a
quiet celebration of
waiting, a rekindling of
the child's soul in all
of us, a reminder that
the mystery and magic of
God's plan for Christmas
Day is still alive...if
we will see it again
through the eyes of a
child. Walk through
WATCHNIGHT with an open
heart, let your childlike
soul be “led
home†through the
singing of carols, and
the hearing of the
Christmas Story, enacted
by children. Share the
Lord's Supper and the
lighting of candles to
welcome the Child. Know
that the Child of
Bethlehem wishes to have
the child of your soul
holding His hand. Tiny
Babe of Bethlehem Won't
you take my hand again;
Wake the child that has
my name, So I will never
be the same.

What?
! - my composer
colleagues said - A
concerto for the piano?
It's a 19th century
instrument! Admittedly we
are in an age when
originally created
timbres and/or
musico-technological
formulations are often
the modus operandi of a
piece. Actually, this
Concerto began about two
years ago when, during
one of my creative jogs,
the sound of the
uppermost register of the
piano mingled with wind
chimes penetrated my
inner ear. The challenge
and fascination of
exploring and developing
this idea into an
orchestral situation
determined that some day
soon I would be writing a
work for piano and
orchestra. So it was a
very happy coincidence
when Mona Golabek phoned
to tell me she would like
discuss the Ford
Foundation commission.
After covering areas of
aesthetics and
compositional styles, we
found that we had a good
working rapport, and she
asked if I would accept
the commission. The
answer was obvious. Then
began the intensive
thought process on the
stylistic essence and
organization of the work.
Along with this went a
renewed study of
idiomatic writing for the
piano, of the kind
Stravinsky undertook with
the violin when he began
his Violin Concerto. By a
stroke of great fortune,
the day in February 1972
that I received official
notice from the Ford
Foundation of the
commission, I also
received a letter from
the Guggenheim Foundation
informing me I had been
awarded my second
fellowship. With the good
graces of Zubin Mehta and
Ernest Fleischmann,
masters of my destiny as
a member of the Los
Angeles Philharmonic, I
was relieved of my
orchestral duties during
the Hollywood Bowl
season. Thus I was able
to go to Europe to work
and to view the latest
trends in music
concentrating in London
(the current musical
melting pot and showcase
par excellence), Oslo,
Norway, for the Festival
of Scandinavian Music
called Nordic Days, and
Warsaw, Poland, for its
prestigious Autumn
Festival. Over half the
Concerto was completed in
that summer and most of
the rest during the 72-73
season with the final
touches put on during a
month as Resident Scholar
at the Rockefeller
Foundation's Villa
Serbelloni in Bellagio,
Italy. So much for the
external and
environmental influences,
except perhaps to mention
the birds of Sussex in
the first movement, the
bells of Arhus (Denmark)
in the second movement
and the bells of Bellagio
at the end of the
Concerto. Primary in the
conception was the
personality of Miss
Golabek: she is a
wonderfully vital and
dynamic person and a real
virtuoso. Therefore, the
soloist in the Concerto
is truly the protagonist;
it is she (for once we
can do away with the
generic he) who unfolds
the character and intent
of the piece. The first
section is constructed in
the manner of a
recitative - completely
unmeasured - with letters
and numbers by which the
conductor signals the
orchestra for its
participation. This
allows the soloist the
freedom to interpret the
patterns and control the
flow and development of
the music. The Concerto
is actually in one
continuous movement but
with three large
divisions of sufficiently
contrasting character to
be called movements in
themselves. The first
'movement' is based on a
few timbral elements: 1)
a cluster of very low
pitches which at the
beginning are practically
inaudibly depressed, and
sustained silently by the
sostenuto pedal, which
causes sympathetic
vibrating pitches to ring
when strong notes are
struck; 2) a single
powerful note indicated
by a black note-head with
a line through it
indicating the strongest
possible sforzando; 3)
short figures of various
colors sometimes ominous,
sometimes as splashes of
light or as elements of
transition; 4) trills and
tremolos which are the
actual controlling
organic thread starting
as single axial tremolos
and gradually expanding
to trills of increasingly
larger and more powerful
scope. The 'movement'
begins in quiescent
repose but unceasingly
grows in energy and
tension as the stretching
of a string or rubber
band. When it can no
longer be restrained, it
bursts into the next
section. The second
'movement,' propelled by
the released tension, is
a brilliant virtuosic
display, which begins
with a long solo of wispy
percussion, later joined
in duet with the piano.
Not to be ignored, the
orchestra takes over
shooting the material
throughout all its
sections like a small
agile bird deftly
maneuvering through
nothing but air, while
the piano counterposes
moments of lyricism. The
orchestra reaches a
climax, thrusting us into
the third 'movement'
which begins with a
cadenza-like section for
the piano. This moves
gently into an expressive
section (expressive is
not a negative term to
me) in which duets are
formed with various
instruments. There are
fleeting glimpses of
remembrances past, as a
fragmented
recapitulation. One
glimpse is hazily
expressed by strings and
percussion in a moment of
simultaneous contrasting
levels of activity, a
technique of which I have
been fond and have
utilized in various
fixed-free relationships,
particularly in my
Percussion Concerto,
Contextures and Games:
Collage No. 1. The second
half of the third
'movement; is a large
coda - akin to those in
Beethoven - which brings
about another display of
virtuosity, this time
gutsy and driving,
raising the Concerto to a
final climax, the soloist
completing the fragmented
recapitulation concept as
well as the work with the
single-note sforzando and
low cluster from the very
opening of the first
movement.

Emily
Dickinson's two poems
entitled Ending and
Dawn provide the ideal
backdrop for an
experience that begins in
darkness and ends in a
burst of light and
mystery. Meredith
Tompkins' interpretation
of the two texts centers
on the multi-faceted
meanings of each poem,
exploring themes of lost
youth, leaving home,
mortality, destiny and
hope. Audiences and
choirs alike will
experience Dickinson's
poignant words through
haunting melodies, vivid
text-painting, dynamic
contrast, minimalist
soundscapes and melodic
layering that gradually
builds to intense and
thought-provoking
conclusions.Ending:That
is solemn we have ended,
—Be it but a
play,Or a glee among the
garrets,Or a holiday,Or a
leaving home; or
later,Parting with a
worldWe have understood,
for betterStill it be
unfurled. Dawn:Not
knowing when the dawn
will comeI open every
door;Or has it feathers
like a bird,Or billows
like a shore?
