â??Hail!
bright Cecilia, hail to
thee. Great patroness of
us and harmony!â? â??
this exclamation opens
the final chorus of Henry
Purcellâ??s eponymous
Ode to St. Cecilia from
1692. A paean to the
power of music, the work
is one of the undoubted
masterpieces of English
choral odes of that time.
A resolution of
the Musical Society of
London in 1683 launched
the great tradition of
annual celebrations for
St. Ceciliaâ??s Day
(November 22), featuring
a church service followed
by performances of
specially composed music.
Over the years, Purcell
wrote several odes for
the occasion, of which
this example from 1692 is
one of the most popular.
Four decades later,
Handel would also
contribute to the
celebrations with his
Alexanderâ??s Feast, HWV
75 (Carus 55.075), and
his Ode for St.
Ceciliaâ??s Day, HWV 76
(Carus
55.076).Purcellâ
??s magnificent music,
which features a huge
range of tonal color and
form, offers delightful
parts for a variety of
solo, ensemble, and
choral settings. With its
richly expressive
palette, the Ode to St.
Cecilia is an extremely
rewarding work by the
â??Orpheus
Britannicusâ?, as
Purcell was admiringly
called by
contemporaries.-
Festive, rousing ode to
music- Highlight of
the choral ode genre in
the 17th century

Michael J. Miller.

Cosmi
c Expedition takes
performers on a musical
journey far across the
galaxy via three main
sections. This
fanfare composition would
be perfect for opening a
concert. It has bold
brass fanfare figures
over textural woodwinds
to start and
then takes the
listener on a sonic
journey through a
variation of harmonic
colors, tambural and
textural
shifts. Cosmic
Expedition takes
performers on a musical
journey far across the
galaxy via three main
sections. The first, a
rather celebratory and
triumphant fanfare in Bb
major begins with the
upper woodwinds and
percussion creating a
sound-screen, that is a
busy texture consisting
of a flurry of repeated
notes over which the
horns and alto saxophones
present the opening
theme. The sound-screen
should be carefully
balanced and give way to
the melody at m. 5, which
should be played
extremely marcato. The
timpani solo beginning in
m. 11 must not be
understated. A brief
percussion interlude
separates a restatement
of the opening theme,
this time with the
addition of the trumpet,
tenor saxophone, and
euphonium, and a counter
melody by the low winds.
The percussion interlude
is playful, light, but
full of vigor and energy.
An Ab in the low winds
pulls the harmony towards
G minor in m. 40 to start
the second section, a
more serious fanfare.
Here, the marimba repeats
an ostinato that is
complemented by the bass
drum and woodblock. The
upper woodwinds with the
xylophone and snare drum
dance over the stern
secondary fanfare. A
longing call lead by the
trombones, interrupted by
a subtle snare drum
beckons to the clarinets
and horn who begin the
third section of the
piece at m. 68. This
haunting melody in C
minor is legato, and
starkly contrasts all
which came before it. A
relentless concert
tom-tom played with hard
mallets keeps the
momentum persistent, and
a heartbeat-like pulse is
felt from the tuba and
baritone saxophone. The
melody rises towards m.
84 when the brass harken
back to the fanfare style
before fading back into
another lush woodwind
strain.A recapitulation
of the low winds’
call is heard at m. 100
which in this occasion
intensifies into an
emphatic statement by the
battery percussion
instruments. Now in Eb
major, the opening
fanfare theme is heard
again once more before
fading into the beginning
of the piece’s
conclusion.To end, the
counter melody from the
opening section duels
with chromatic tension
above before swelling to
an arrival in the
original key of Bb major.
The full ensemble
celebrates the
piece’s
resolution, and after a
few crunchy power chords
the journey is
completed.

Ofte
n sung congregationally
to BERKSHIRE, CHURCH
TRIUMPHANT, DEVONSHIRE or
DUNELM, Charles Wesley's
much-loved Christmas hymn
receives a new setting
from Nigel Ogden. His
skills as an outstanding
performer, best known
perhaps as host of the
evergreen Radio 2 series
The Organist
Entertains,
guarantee both a light
touch and a serious
musical content.
Eminently practical,
To us a Child of
Royal Birth may be
performed by single
voices or SATB choir
without divisions. The
music artfully
distributes the four
verses between full
chorus, upper voices,
lower voices, and then
tutti again. Ogden's
winning command of a
popular musical idiom is
everywhere in evidence,
in the beautifully
resolved seventh and
ninth chords, and in the
assured movement of the
anthem from its opening
key of E flat to its
conclusion in a bright
and warm resolution of C
major.

The continuous

of Catapult! is
infectious! Using
dramatically contrasting
syncopated melodic lines
and ultra-legato
contemporary harmonic
phrases, the composer
creates a colorful
palette of sound which is
both incredibly appealing
and uniquely mysterious.
At mid-point, the effect
of the catapult is felt
through rather dissonant
descending chords,
leading to an exciting
resolution and conclusion
in a new key. Looking for
something

playable? Check out

the music moves through a

become increasingly

The haunting sound of

In Times of

and powerful concert work
from the pen of prolific
composer Robert W. Smith.
Beginning with a soft and
stately chorale, the mood
quickly changes to sounds
of turbulence in a
contemporary setting for
the developing band.
Biting dissonance and
powerful rhythmic
percussion sustain the
turbulent atmosphere as
it develops throughout
the ensemble in a minor
mode. The percussion and
winds exchange powerful
musical statements
leading to the final
triumphant resolution in
a major key. An excellent
choice for concert or
festival performance.

Dark
Brother, a setting of the
last two paragraphs from
Thomas Wolf's God's
Lonely Man, was the first
piece that Partch wrote
especially for his
self-developed
Chromelodeon. The voice
for Chromelodeon
emphasizes Tonality flux
- Partchs notion for his
vocal guidance method by
means of the resolution
of small intervals as
well as fast passages
with very small intervals
that obscure the harmonic
event. These two
techniques became
features of Partch's
music for Chromelodeon
altogether.
