Boismortier
is considered to be one
of the most popular and
most hard-working
composers of his time.
The original title of
this sonata in A Minor
indicates flutes, violins
and other instruments as
well suited for
performance. The composer
arranged the first melody
part in such a way that
it can be played by an
alto recorder without any
changes. Scored for
string chorus, the sonata
achieves a very good
tonal effect. With
soloistic scoring, three
equal instruments (e.g.
three violins) or three
completely different
instruments (e.g. flute,
violin, oboe) are best
suited for the
performance of the upper
parts.

This
publication presents
under one cover various
short works for sundry
orchestral scorings.
Larghetto for Orchestra
is MacMillan's
orchestration (2017) of
his celebrated Miserere
for a cappella mixed
choir (2009), a setting
in Latin of Psalm 51,
'Have mercy upon me, O
God, according to thy
great mercy', the
penitential text famously
set in the 17th century
by Gregorio Allegri. The
Larghetto orchestration
was commissioned by the
Pittsburgh Symphony
Orchestra in celebration
of Manfred Honeck's 10th
Anniversary as Music
Director. Memoire
imperiale is one of a
number of variations on
General John Reids march
tune Old Gaul
commissioned from
Scottish composers to
mark the centenary in
1994 of the Faculty of
Music at Edinburgh
University. The Faculty
was established following
a bequest by General Reid
(1721-1807), a former law
student at the University
and a renowned flute
player and composer of
marches for the
BritishArmy, and he asked
that an annual concert be
organised at which one or
more of his compositions
be played. Composed in
2012 for the Britten
Sinfonia, One is a monody
in which a single line is
passed around the
instruments, painting it
with different colours as
it emerges and develops.
Lasting only a few
minutes, its singularity
is maintained until
blossoming in the lastfew
bars. For Sonny (2011,
orch 2013) and Ein
Lamplein verlosch (2018,
orch 2019) are short,
private memorial tributes
originally for string
quartet and here rescored
for string orchestra.
Hirta was composed in
2016 as part of Deccas
The Lost Songs of St
Kilda project. Nearly a
century ago, the last 36
residents were evacuated
from the most remote part
of the British Isles, St
Kilda, an isolated
archipelago off the
beautiful and rugged
western coast of
Scotland. After 86 years,
the music of St Kilda was
rediscovered, recorded in
a Scottish care home by
Trevor Morrison, an
elderly man who had been
taught piano by an
inhabitant of St Kilda.
The songs were
'reimagined' for the
Decca album by
various.

The 1712
Overture stands out in
P.D.Q. Bach's oeuvre for
two reasons, among
others: it is by far the
most programmatic
instrumental piece among
those by the minimeister
of Wein-am-Rhein so far
unearthed, and 2) its
discovery has led to a
revelation about the
composer's father, Johann
Sebastian Bach, that has
exploded like a bombshell
on the usually serene
musicological landscape.
The overture is based on
an anecdote told to
P.D.Q. Bach by a cousin,
Peter Ulrich. Since P.U.
Bach lived in Dudeldorf,
only a few miles down the
road from Wein-am-Rhein,
he was P.D.Q.'s closest
relative, and he was, in
fact, one of the few
members of the family who
was on speaking terms
with P.D.Q. The story,
related to P.D.Q.
(fortunately for us
posterity types) in a
letter, may be summarized
thus: The town of
Dudeldorf was founded by
two brothers, Rudi and
Dieter Dudel, early in
the 18th century. Rudi
remained mayor of the
newborn burg for the rest
of his long life, but
Dieter had a dream of
starting a musicians'
colony, an entire city
devoted to music, which
dream, he finally
decided, could be
realized only in the New
World. In 1712, he and
several other bagpipers
sailed to Boston, never
to return to Germany.
(Henceforth, Rudi became
known as der deutscher
Dudel and Dieter as the
Yankee Dudel).
Unfortunately, the head
of the Boston Musicians'
Guild had gotten wind of
Dudel's plans, and
Wilhelm Wiesel (pron.
VEE-zle), known none too
affectionately around
town as Wiesel the
Weasel, was not about to
share what few gigs there
were in colonial America
with more foreigners and
outside agitators. He and
his cronies were on hand
to meet Dudel's boat when
it pulled into Boston
Harbor; they intended to
prevent the newcomers'
disembarkation, but Dudel
and his companions
managed to escape to the
other side of the bay in
a dinghy, landing with
just enough time to rent
a carriage and horses
before hearing the sound
of The Weasel and his
men, who had had to come
around the long way. The
Germans headed West, with
the Bostonians in furious
pursuit. soon the city
had been left far behind,
and by midnight so had
the pursuers; Dieter
Dudel decided that it was
safe for him and his men
to stop and sleep until
daybreak. When they
awoke, they found that
they were in a beautiful
landscape of low,
forested mountains and
pleasant fields, warmed
by the brilliant morning
sun and serenaded by an
entrancing variety of
birds. Here, Dudel
thought, her is where I
will build my colony. The
immigrants continued down
the road at a leisurely
pace until they came upon
a little church, all by
itself in the
countryside, from which
there suddenly emanated
the sounds of a pipe
organ. At this point, the
temptation to quote from
P.U. Bach's letter to
P.D.Q. cannot be
resisted: They went
inside and, after
listening to the glorious
music for a while,
introduced themselves to
the organist. And who do
you think it was? Are you
ready for this -- it was
your old man! Hey, no
kidding -- you know, I'm
sure, that your father
was the guy to get when
it came to testing new
organs, and whoever had
that one in Massachusetts
built offered old
Sebastian a tidy sum to
go over there and check
it out. The unexpected
meeting with J.S. Bach
and his sponsors was
interrupted by the sound
of horse hooves, as the
dreaded Wiesel and his
men thundered on to the
scene. They had been
riding all night,
however, and they were no
spring chickens to start
with, and as soon as they
reached the church they
all dropped, exhausted,
to the ground. The elated
Germans rang the church
bells and offered to buy
everyone a beer at the
nearest tavern. There
they were taught, and
joined in singing, what
might be called the
national anthem of the
New World. The melody of
this pre-revolutionary
patriotic song is still
remembered (P.D.Q. Bach
quotes it, in the bass
instruments, near the end
of the overture), but is
words are now all but
forgotten: Freedom, of
thee we sing, Freedom
e'er is our goal; Death
to the English King, Long
live Rock and Ross. The
striking paucity of
biographical references
to Johann Sebastian Bah
during the year 1712 can
now be explained: he was
abroad for a significant
part of that year,
testing organs in the
British Colonies. That
this revelation has not
been accepted as fact by
the musicological
establishment is no
surprise, since it means
that a lot of books would
have to be rewritten. The
members of that
establishment haven't
even accepted the
existence of P.D.Q. Bach,
one of whose major works
the 1712 Overture
certainly is. It is also
a work that shows
Tchaikowsky up as the
shameless plagiarizer
that some of us have
always known he was. The
discovery of this awesome
opus was made possible by
a Boston Pops Centennial
Research Commission; the
first modern performance
took place at the opening
concert of the 100th
anniversary season of
that orchestra, under the
exciting but authentic
direction of John
Williams.

The
Sieidi concerto is in one
movement but divided into
several sections both
faster and slower, wildly
rhythmic, lyrical and
more static. For the
soloist it is extremely
demanding because he is
constantly having to
switch from one technique
to another - for djembe
and darabuka playing with
the hands differs
radically from that of
tom-tom or drumstick
technique or the playing
of pitched percussion
instruments such as the
marimba and
vibraphone.
Normal
ly, in a percussion
concerto, the soloist has
to play surrounded by a
huge battery of
instruments, often behind
the orchestra. In Sieidi
he uses only nine
instruments, and he is in
front of the orchestra
the whole time. The
instruments are in a row
in front of the platform,
starting with the djembe
on the far right (as
viewed by the audience)
and ending with the
tam-tam on the far left.
The soloist plays only
one instrument at a
time.
The title
of the concerto, Sieidi,
is Sami - a language
spoken in the northern
region of Finland, Sweden
and Norway known as
Lapland. It denotes an
ancient cult place such
as an unusually-shaped
rock, sometimes also a
special rock face or even
a whole mountain
fell.

Stra
uss's first tone poem
distinguishes itself from
all other subsequent
orchestral compositions
in its existence in three
different versions. Even
among the operas and
other compositions in his
hand there is no other
work with a comparable
history of origin and
publication. What is
more, the final version
of Macbeth is the only
valid form of the work
and the only variant with
further sources (cf.
Critical Report) in
addition to the autograph
score. In contrast, the
second version has only
been preserved in an
autograph score and
autograph piano reduction
(the orchestral parts
which must have existed
have obviously not
survived). This was never
printed and was replaced
by the published third
version. The two
surviving versions should
therefore not be
considered to be of equal
status. Unlike the case
of Ariadne auf Naxos in
which the earlier version
was for a time the sole
valid alternative and was
yet never completely
displaced by the soon
dominating later version
of the opera, only the
final third version of
Macbeth is considered as
valid. Right from the
outset, it was a matter
of course for the editors
of the present volume to
include the second
version as a first
publication (in addition
to the above-mentioned
surviving pages of the
first version), albeit in
different forms. The
surviving pages of the
first version are
reproduced in facsimile
and the second version,
as a subordinate form of
the work, appears
alongside Strauss's piano
reduction in a modified
source edition, i.e.
without intervention on
the part of the editors.
The ultimate third
version is published as a
full edition (please
refer to the Critical
Report for further
details). In order to
facilitate a comparative
study of the second and
third versions, the
relevant page numbers of
the score are placed
opposite one another (the
autograph piano reduction
of the second version is
included at the end of
the music section of the
volume). The editors hope
that this synoptic
representation will
prompt interest in
further studies on
Strauss's art of
orchestration: a field of
research which has still
remained insufficiently
examined. A study of
Macbeth namely
illuminates as clearly as
could be wished how much
significance Strauss
allotted to sound
alongside form. The
subjects were not merely
intended to generate an
individual figure, but
also specific tonal
colours, and the
instrumentation was
simultaneously designed
to provide an optimal
communication of
thematic-motivic texture
to the audience. The 'new
path' threw up
consequences which caused
Strauss a considerable
amount of difficulty. He
was however a fast
learner and had already
swum free with Don Juan
and all the more with Tod
und Verklarung.

According
to the Daily Courant, the
premiere took place as
follows: On Wednesday
Evening, at about 8, the
King took to Water at
Whitehall in an open
Barge, wherein were
Dutchess of Bolton, The
Dutchess of New Castle,
the Countess of
Godolphin, Madam
Kilmaseck, and the Earl
of Orkney. And went up
the River towards
Chelsea. Many other of
Barges with Person of
Quality attended, and so
the great Number of
Boats, that the whole
River in a manner was
couver'd; a City
Company's Barge was
employ'd for the Musick,
wherein were 50
Instruments of all sorts,
Who play'd all the way
from Lambeth (while the
Barges drove with the
Tide without Rowing, as
far as Chelsea) the
finest Symphonies,
compos'd express for this
Occasion, by Mr Hendel:
which his Majesty liked
so well, that he caus'd
it to be play'd over
three times in going and
returning. At Eleven his
Majesty came again into
Barge, and return'd the
same Way, the Musick
continuing to play till
he landed.
Handel
composed his Water Music

Progr
am note: Christmas Fugue,
like the charming English
folk tune on which it is
based, is full of the
spirit and fun that is
Christmas. After a slow
shimmering introduction
which imparts an
impression of Christmas
morning, the fugue
subject is abruptly
introduced. The fugue
subject: We Wish You a
Merry Christmas. The work
develops through a series
of playful musical
episodes which afford
satisfying opportunities
for the various sections
of the orchestra. The
fugue culminates in a
combination of motifs
which find the brass
heralding the
unmistakable arrival of
Christmas. The Composer:
Dr. Robert Bennett Brown
has devoted much of his
professional teaching
career to musical
compositions and
arrangements for young
orchestral enthusiasts.
Christmas Fugue, like
other of Dr. Drown's
published works, was
written in and for the
actual teaching
situation. At the present
time, Robert Bennett
Brown is District
Supervisor of Music for
the Levittown, N.Y.
Public Schools.
Previously, for some
nineteen years, he taught
in Bronxville, N.Y.
where, as Chairman of
Music, he brought about
an extremely high level
of school orchestral
achievement. he was
educated at New York
University and Teachers
College, Columbia
University. He has served
as a field supervisor of
student teaching for New
York University and as a
general music consultant.
For the past two years he
has been a member of the
New York State Music
Regents Committee. To the
Conductor: You will find
this work to be the
conductor's dream. Parts
are easy but impressive
sounding. The total
effect will give your
orchestra that typical
classical sound so
satisfying to performer
and listener alike. Full
or exact instrumentation
is not a must; cross-cues
will carry critical areas
where a specified
instrument may be
lacking. Piano, tuba, and
saxophone parts are
written to accommodate
those players where they
exist. These parts are
not essential to the
instrumentation. Though
Christmas Fugue is well
suited to the interests
of high school orchestra
pursuits, its grade of
difficulty is easily
handled by any junior
high school group of
average ability.

Symphony
No. 6 for orchestra,
1997-99. Preface /
Program Note:... with the
Lord a day is like a
thousand years, and a
thousand years is like a
day(New Testament, 2
Peter 3:8)My SYMPHONY NO.
6 was commissioned by the
Danish National Radio
Symphony Orchestra, the
Gteborg Symphony
Orchestra and the Oslo
Philharmonic Orchestra,
to be premiered at the
millenium 2000.The
subtitle AT THE END OF
THE DAY can be understood
literally or it can mean
when all is added up.
However, in my opinion,
nothing ever quite adds
up, there is always
something missing, any
ending will be
provisional ...This
symphony appears to end
only a few minutes into
the first movement, the
first passage, as the
music fades away to
almost-silence, after a
start of flying colours.
But then there is still
something, a small motive
(first heard in the
initial sound-waves)
which reappears,
hesitant, but persistent,
and this embryo is what
leads on the musical
progression. An agitated
section of many
instrumental voices comes
next, until all the
voices become obsessed
with the same phrase, a
see-saw motive based on
thirds. This section
evolves into almost
martial ferocity, when
broken off by a tutti
descent into an extreme
bass-world (a bass-world
which actually permeates
the whole symphony,
emplyoing instruments
that I have never used
before: double-bass tuba,
double-bass trombone,
double-bass clarinet, and
bass flute).The second
movement, the second
passage, apparently takes
off where the first
passage ended, but now
the events are more
ambiguous, and the same
music may be perceived as
fast-moving one moment
and slow-moving the next.
This section is a kind of
passacaglia, the
characteristic baroque
bass-variation.Without a
break follows the third
and last passage, in a
contrasting high
register. The music is
rhythmically knotty as
well as freely flowing.
As in the beginning of
the symphony, a
never-ending descent or
fall breaks off the
events, and at the very
end a delta of new
beginnings, of other
worlds, is revealed
....The symphony is
dedicated to Helle, my
wife. - Per Norgard.

In the
words of the composer
Insomnia was written
between March and
November 2002.
Technically speaking, it
is a set of variations
based on a harmonic model
separated by a
Ritornello-like section,
which is essentially a
pedal point on the note
e. The sound of Insomnia
is darker and deeper than
that of some of my other
orchestral works. I
decided to add a quartet
of Wagner Tubas to the
brass section for the
very particular sonority
only these rare and weird
instruments can
produce..

Time
is one of the main
factors impacting the
world and our lives.
Einstein saw time as the
relationship of the
motion of one object
relative to the position
of another object, as
measured through
observation. But can we
really measure time
objectively? Music, the
art which moves through
time, can affect our
perception of time, and
can affect each person's
perception of time
differently. Depending on
the emotion it
stimulates, music can
make time seem to pass
quickly or slowly. A
composer can use music to
convey time to an
audience and different
musical ideas can create
different sensations of
time. Absence of Time is
a concerto for woodwind
quartet and orchestra. It
has three main sections
(fast, slow, fast),
recalling traditional
concerto form, but it
does not use the solo
instruments in the
traditional way, i.e., as
soloists in contest with
the orchestra. Inspired
by the idea of
juxtaposing different
experiences of time, I
divided the instruments
into two groups: the four
soloists and the
orchestra. The orchestra
functions mostly as the
keeper of time (real
time) while the quartet
of soloists fluctuates
(in imaginary time or in
the absence of time)
around the orchestra's
time. While the quartet's
instruments do play
solos, they also play in
ensemble with the
orchestra. You could say
that they play in both
imaginary time (as
soloists) and in real
time (with the
orchestra). In addition
to this, the woodwind
section of the orchestra
plays in conversation
with the solo quartet,
calling it back to real
time. Fusion is achieved
at the end of the piece
through the use of
strong, driving rhythm.
Absence of Time was
commissioned by the
Pacific Symphony and was
first performed by the
Pacific Symphony and the
Pacific Symphony Woodwind
Quartet with Carl St.
Clair as conductor on
October 20, 2016.

This energetic,
modern-sounding selection
was written to improve
your students' reading of
notes on the G string and
is focused on this
often-neglected lower
range of the instruments.
The minor and modal
harmonies, hard-driving
rhythms, and stunning
dynamic contrasts all
combine to give the piece
a primal and primitive
sound that students will
love. A slow,
introspective middle
section provides a
dramatic contrast to the
piece's initial surge and
will help develop bow
control and steady
pizzicato pulse. G Force
by Richard Meyer is
perfect for festival or

The
perfect technical piece
for developing tone,
listening skills, string
crossings, smooth bow
changes, and
independence; as well as
celebrating beautiful
days at a park as
melodies and dynamics
move up and down between
sections, as on a seesaw.
The lines of
music that the various
instruments have weave up
and down across each
other as friendships
weave throughout our
lives. Imagine a
leisurely day at the
park, perhaps on a
seesaw, and ponder this
poem by the composer,

While pleasant
breezes grace the sky,
and clouds of joy drift
gently by, our friendship
bonds, we learn to
play---and now, with you,
we share today.

Young
string players do not get
the opportunity to play
Brahms often because much
of his greatest music is
written for piano and
other works are too
complex. But embedded in
the fiery Rhapsody In B
Minor (Op. 79, No. 1) is
a beautiful interlude
which takes on a form of
its own. Simple melodies
are passed among all
instruments and
harmonized in parallel
3rds and 6ths. Simple
repeated 8th-note
patterns with some ties
create the undulating
current in the
accompaniment which
drives the piece to its
dynamic extremes.

This work
was written for the
Britten Sinfonia and
Nicholas Daniel, and is
dedicated to him. It is
in three movements. The
first opens with a
gradual building up of
rhythmic layers on
violas, bassoon and
trumpet before the
soloist joins in.
Suddenly the music is
thrown forward by a
metrical modulation and
becomes very fast,
flighty and virtuosic.
Structurally, the music
eventually goes into
reverse before a solemn
coda. The second movement
is based on an earlier
work for solo oboe, in
angustiis... The solo
material is expressive
and sad, and enters into
much dialogue with other
wind instruments
throughout. The
reflective character of
the movement is
interrupted by little
dyadic patterns, various
pizzicato outbursts, some
scherzo-like material and
agitated faster passages,
but the principal mood is
introverted and
cantabile. The last
movement begins brashly
and has a clownish
character. The overall
feeling is extrovert and
dramatic, showing off the
oboe in fast display.
Some of the original
ideas from the opening
movement are
re-introduced in new
guises, before an
exultant and joyous
ending.
