Composed by Robert W. Smith. Young Concert Band. Score and set of parts. C.L. Barnhouse #024-4812-00. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.024-4812-00).

In Times of Turbluence is a dramatic 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.

Composed in 1924, Ernest Bloch’s Méditation Hébraϊque is a plaintive and reverent musical reflection that flows through many emotions in a series of uninterrupted movements: Moderato, Allegro deciso, and Moderato. Passionate rubato phrases are flecked with light touches of ornamentation, much like the inflections of a cantor's voice. Hemiola rhythms, dynamic swells, and contrapuntal interaction with the piano lead the soulful voice of the cello to its upper range in a dramatic dialogue that eventually descends to a more subdued and stately resolution. Cellist and teacher Julian Schwarz provides practical fingerings and phrase markings to achieve the alternating bright and warm tone that are essential to adequately express the sacred beauty  of the music. .

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.

Composed by John Zdechlik. Score. Neil A. Kjos Music Company #WB61F. Published by Neil A. Kjos Music Company (KJ.WB61F).

This original composition presents the popular love song Love Me Tender in a peppy two-step minstrel tune, a lighthearted Scottish dance, a somber serious statement of the theme, a musical conflict representing the Civil War and ends in a spirit of resolution and peace. An excellent contest piece!

Premiered by the Takács String Quartet in 2004, Carl Vine's String Quartet No. 4 is a dark and pensive work. Split into two equal parts, this acerbic 15-minute exploration of conflict without resolution---with angular rhythmic gestures set abruptly against a brooding chorale---would make an imposing addition to any quartet's repertoire.

“Hail ! bright Cecilia, hail to thee. Great patroness of us and harmony!” – this exclamation opens the final chorus of Henry Purcell’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. Cecilia’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 Alexander’s Feast, HWV 75 (Carus 55.075), and his Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day, HWV 76 (Carus 55.076).

Purcell⠀™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 “Orpheus Britannicus”, as Purcell was admiringly called by contemporaries.

- Festive, rousing ode to music
- Highlight of the choral ode genre in the 17th century

The tragic events involving organized labor known as the Ludlow massacre of 1914 served as the catalyst for this original epic work.
