Flowing melodies phrased with expressive shaping are passed throughout the ensemble, creating heartfelt drama for all to enjoy!

Fanfare Band - Grade 4

SKU: BT.GOB-000808-120

Composed by Carl Wittrock. Score Only. 16 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000808-120. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000808-120).

As he did before in the often played and commonly appreciated ‘Lord Tullamore’, in which he poetically depicted the landscape and the cultural elements of a small Irish village, in his composition ‘The Road to the West’ Carl Wittrock has sketched pioneer existence in America in a cinematic manner.
In ‘The Road to the West’ the composer has tried to capture images of pioneer life during the period dating from 1850 to 1890, the days of the so-called Wild West.
In those days, the Wild West used to be the territory west of civilization, the domain of cowboys, trappers, and other fortune hunters.
In short, ample ingredients for a captivating story.

In the firstscene a lonely adventurer struggles against nature and the elements.
After an exciting adventure he passes through ‘the Plains’, where majestic views alternated by colossal mountain ranges display an almost unimaginable beauty.
After weeks of isolation civilization is reached again.
‘The Saloon’ is the perfect meeting place here news is exchanged and hilarious scenes regularly take place.

In navolging van het veel gespeelde en alom gewaardeerde ‘Lord Tullamore’, waarin Carl Wittrock op poëtische wijze landschap en culturele elementen van een Iers dorpje verklankt, wordt in ‘The Road to the West’ op filmische wijzehet pioniersbestaan in Amerika geschetst.
De componist betreedt in ‘The Road to the West’ het pionierspad in de periode tussen 1850 en 1890, de tijd van het Wilde Westen.
Het Wilde Westen was het gebied ten westen van de beschaving,het domein van cowboys, pelsjagers en andere gelukzoekers.
Genoeg ingrediënten voor een boeiend verhaal.

In de eerste scene gaat een avonturier, eenzaam en alleen, de strijd aan met de natuur en de elementen.
Na een spannend avontuur trekt hij door ‘the Plains’, waar de weidse vergezichten, afgewisseld door kolossale bergformaties een bijna niet onder woorden te brengen schoonheid tentoonspreiden.
Na weken van eenzaamheid komttenslotte de bewoonde wereld weer in beeld.
‘The Saloon’ is de ontmoetingsplek bij uitstek. Hier worden ervaringen uitgewisseld en spelen zich vaak hilarische taferelen af.

Cello Concerto No. 1. Composed by Poul Ruders. Music Sales America. Classical. Score. Composed 2002. Edition Wilhelm Hansen #WH30292. Published by Edition Wilhelm Hansen (HL.14028003).

ISBN 9788759862896.

Poul Ruders Polydrama (Manyfold Event) for cello and orchestra, is the last part of a drama trilogy otherwise consisting of Dramaphonia for piano and 11 instruments and Monodrama for percussion and 32 instruments. In this abstract drama, the individual listener is left entirely to his own associations. The composer has compared polydrama with the gradual defoliation of a big tree: the vigorously growing organism is attacked by a swarm of locusts until, finally, nothing remains but bare branches in a landscape of long shadows; a solitary, singing bird remains, however, like a streak of hope in an increasingly dark and pessimistic universe.

The northern New Mexico landscape is replete with many churches and chapels which have served for centuries as a cornerstone of faith for the indigenous and colonial peoples. Each region and place of worship has its own colorful history, often the stuff of legend. Three Chapels (for organ manuals) takes its inspiration from the lore and history surrounding some of these holy sites. Chimayó is a place of pilgrimage and healing for the sick; Acoma a place of tension and fusion between two distinct cultural theologies; and Rosario a place of great ceremony for one week of the year Published by: Zimbel Press.

“The Bird Catalogue by Olivier Messiaenis a set of 7 books with 13 pieces for Piano composed between 1956 and 1958. Each volume refers to a special bird and to the region where the bird is typically from in France. The piece not only describes the bird, it also depicts its surroundings, such as other birds, the landscape of its area, the colours and the temperature. Book 1 - Le Chocard des Alpes (Alpine Chough) - Le Loriot (Golden Oriole) IH Le Merle Bleu (Blue Rock Thrush) Book 2 - Le Traquet Stapazin (Black-Eared Wheatear) Book 3 - La Chouette Hulotte (Tawny Owl) - L'Alouette Lulu (Wood Lark) Book 4 - La Rousserolle Effarvatte (Reed Warbler) Book 5 - L'Alouette Calandrelle (Short-Toed Lark) - La Bouscarle (Cetti's Warbler) Book 6 - Le Merle de Roche (Rock Thrush) Book 7 - La Buse Variable (Buzzard) - Le Traquet Rieur (Black Wheatear) - Le Courlis Cendré (Curlew) As mentioned above, this 5th volume focuses on the Short-toed Lark and the Cetti's Warbler. The first one, the Short-toed Lark represents the wilderness of Provence and the Cetti's Warbler, the Charente area. The interpretation of these pieces requires a strong level in Piano (upper advanced), due to some complex technique requirement. Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was a French organist and composer who was passionate about Ornithology and one of the most important composers of his century. Inspired by Japanese music, he had a very special way of composing and his work can be identified by its complexity, its diatonic aspect, its harmony with limited transposition, its colour and its additive rhythms. He composed many works related to ornithology and birdsong, including the 'Treatise on rhythm, colour and ornithology' in 7 volumes.”.

The Blue Mountains are a breathtaking mountain and forest landscape in the New South Wales, Australia. This work came about above all inspired by Weeping Rock, an overhanging rock that gets its name from the waterfall that flows over it.

The Blue Mountains bevinden zich in New South Wales in Australië. Ze vormen een adembenemend landschap van wouden en rotspartijen. Dit werk verklankt vooral de beroemde overhangende rots Weeping Rock, die met een onafgebroken stroom water lijkt tehuilen – vandaar de naam.

Die Blue Mountains sind eine atemberaubende Wald- und Berglandschaft im australischen Bundesstaat New South Wales. Dieses Werk entstand vor allem unter dem Eindruck eines beruhmten uberhängenden Felsen namens Weeping Rock, der so von einem Wasserfallumspult ist, dass er zu weinen scheint.

Les Montagnes Bleues, en Nouvelle-Galles du Sud (Australie), forment une chaîne montagneuse parsemée de lacs et de forêts. Cette pièce a été inspirée, avant tout, par Weeping Rock (rocher pleureur), un rocher en surplomb qui tire son nom de lacascade qui ruisselle dessus.

Le Blue Mountains sono un paesaggio montano e forestale mozzafiato del New South Wales, in Australia. Il compositore si è lasciato ispirare soprattutto alla Weeping Rock, una roccia a strapiombo che prende il nome dalla cascata che vi scorre sopra.

A Utopian Fantasia, by Anthony Granata, depicts a beautifully majestic and serene landscape shrouded in mystery and wonder. Set in the key of E minor, the opening features a rich legato ballad with an eerily somber melody passing through each section of the orchestra. The mood abruptly shifts to a jarring and heavily accented six-note motif. Reminiscent of Classical literature, a small contrapuntal passage develops this motif, interspersed with the original opening melody. Inversions of the theme finally give way to a call-and-response dialogue within the different sections of the orchestra before finally ending quietly and slowly with a subtle hint to the opening. (3:00).

SATB choir - Level 4

SKU: CA.965830

Les Quatrains Valaisans III. Composed by Cyrill Schurch. Edited by Stefan Schuck. CARUS CONTEMPORARY. Vois-Tu, La Haut (Lqv Iii). Secular choral music. Full score. 4 pages. Duration 1 minute. Carus Verlag #CV 09.658/30. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.965830).

ISBN 9790007164980. Text language: French. Text: Rilke, Rainer Maria. Text by Rainer Maria Rilke.

In his settings of five quatrains by Rilke, Cyrill Schurch explores the colorfulness of the literary model. His mainly homophonic, song-like style of setting corresponds to the compactness of the poetry. Schurch wanders freely, but always comprehensibly, through the keys and employs dissonances pointedly and economically. In this way, Schurch's songs for choir are comparable to Hindemith's sophisticated choral settings of Rilke, while speaking their very own tonal language. The short compositions with their poetically sanguine basic character will enrich every concert program focused on the topics of nature and landscape. They represent a rewarding project for any choir that finds pleasure in exploring tone colors and delicate emotional nuances.

Red River Station is a bright and upbeat work emulating the style popularized by the soundtrack of the great American west. After the Civil War, cattle drives from Texas to Kansas included a stop at Red River Station along the Chisholm Trail, just before leaving Texas. The syncopated rhythms and pentatonic melodies bring to the life the vibrant and beautiful landscape and experience of riding horseback through the southwest. The energetic and inventive orchestration and exciting nature of this work make it an excellent fit for any concert, and a great contest or festival selection.
