The Annunciation. Composed by M. Roger Holland, II. Annunciation, Immaculate Conception, Advent 4 B. African American Church Music Series. Sacred. Octavo. With guitar chord names. 20 pages. GIA Publications #8633. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-8633).

UPC: 785147863304. English. Text by M. Roger Holland, II.

A slow, gospel groove with an R & B feel complements this contemporary interpretation of the Annunciation. A series of multiple modulations build the excitement and drive the piece to its climactic resolution and Mary’s final yes—“Let it be according to your will.” The piece requires a strong soloist to rise above the choral parts. The addition of a rhythm section would enhance the performance of this Roger Holland original.

The winds in foothill communities throughout southern California are often unpredictable and sometimes quite fierce. They can come and go in an instant or blow relentlessly all day. Bluster seeks to musically portray these wild winds in this colorful and energetic work. In addition to the rain stick, palm fronds may be shaken in the percussion section to give a visual depiction of the wind.

The minor harmonies create some neat sounds students would not usually encounter until a higher grade level. There is a great variety of articulation and dynamics that captures the energy of fierce winds perfectly

Strimple's music adds to the poetry with dynamic fervor, enhancing the emotions with unapologetic flare. This is the piece to include in the Christmas program that will awaken an audience.

The Valkyrja (Old Norse meaning “choosers of the slain”) were noble maidens that brought dead heroes to the afterlife. They were responsible for sending half of those who die in battle to Odin’s Valhalla where they would prepare for Ragnarök. In the beginning of this dramatic piece, the upper and lower strings duel for dominance, setting the scene of an epic battle. The middle section depicts the Valkyries (represented by a lyrical cello melody) descending from the heavens to take their chosen to Valhalla. The battle resumes, now with the Valkyries sifting through the corpses to find the fallen heroes that would continue to fight at Ragnarök.
