Incur sion was a collaboration between composer Sean O'Loughlin and the students of the commissioning group. When asked for a dark and scary sounding piece, O'Loughlin delivered in his typical fashion. Aggressive rhythmic figures set the tone of the piece early with a foreboding and dark melody in the lower voices.  The piece develops through a number of contrasting sections, providing plenty of exciting variations for students to enjoy.
Incursion is a dramatic, powerful work for the developing ensemble. The piece begins with an aggressive rhythmic idea that sets the tone for the composition. The lower voices enter with a foreboding and dark melody that carries on this feeling. The upper voices then split into counterpoint with the lower voices at m. 17. The counterpoint splits into three parts at m. 25, which culminates in a return to the opening rhythmic figure at m. 33. A contrasting slow section features some lush and haunting passages. Measure 54 brings the opening rhythmic figure back again, but this time includes a quietly intense approach. A recapitulation of the counterpoint and subsequent development follows. Measure 83 brings back the opening rhythmic idea one more time to conclude with a rousing finish.

Once Upon a Morning is a delightfully creative and vivid musical telling of the days after Christ's Resurrection, beginning with the discovery of the empty tomb and depicting the instances when Jesus appeared to His disciples. From start to finish, Pepper Choplin's creative spark shines through this unique, storybook-like work spanning from Easter through Pentecost. Songs ranging from the rhythmically charged to smooth ballads, conversational passages between soloists, and optional congregational participation are sure to inspire your choir and congregation to reflect with awe on these key events following the Resurrection. The narration is based primarily on direct scripture passages and can be recited by either one for multiple different narrators.

Flute, Bassoon and Harp

“Chri stmas Pastoral by André Jolivet is a piece for Flute, Bassoon and the Harp lasting nearly 13 minutes. This piece is really gentle and restrained which demonstrates the quality of Jolivet?s work but also reflects that period of WWII when France was under occupation. These scores are of medium level of ability. Christmas Pastoral features four sections: L?étoile (the Star), Les Mages (the Wisemen), La Vierge et l?Enfant (the Virgin and the Child) and Entrée et Danse des Bergers (the Shepherds? dance). Each of these parts describes a part of the Christmas story, starting with the Flute and the Bassoon in a duet, followed by the entrance of the Harp to settle the first part. The second section is quieter, expressing the walk in the desert. The Virgin and the Child is like a lullaby and the piece finishes on a joyful dance to express happiness and devotion. André Jolivet is a French composer who was really inspired by the Antiquity, and had a strong interest for atonality. He also wrote many chamber music pieces, eleven concertos, some orchestral and some vocal music.”.

â� �œWhen we reached the gates of Linz [...] we found a servant waiting there to drive us to old Count Thun’s, at whose house we are now staying. I really can’t tell you what kindnesses the family are showering on us. On Tuesday, November 4th, I am giving a concert in the theatre here and, as I have not a single symphony with me, I am writing a new one at breakneck speed, which must be finished by that time. Well, I must close, because I really must set to work.

Chamber Music String Quartet

After finishing a serious woodwind quintet in the fall of 2001 [Tela Lacerata], I found, in the ensuing months, that its cinders/ashes were still impregnating my eardrums. Therefore, when I set out to write the present string piece, I realized that the musical veins of the quartet, like related cousins, were sharing the same blood as the earlier wind composition. The resultant Fifth Quartet evolved into two large, extended movements, each one containing seven parts that are played without pause. As the list of the various sub-sections clearly indicates, the formal structure of the movements appear to be identical: each with three main parts enveloped by interludes, plus an introduction and coda. However, the principal segments of the first (slow) movement gradually decrease in length, while those of the second (fast) movement increase. In addition, there is a goodly amount of sonic material stolen from the first movement which reappears -- stitched together in a new guise -- into the world of the second. for example, the bulk of Parts B and C of Movement II are lifted bodily, although elaborately modified, from their first appearances in the Introduction and Part A of the fist movement. This offers, I suppose at least a hint of a traditional recapitulation. As was true in the earlier woodwind piece -- both harmonically and melodically -- the embryonic growth of the musical fabric (primarily the tritone and perfect fifth) is omnipresent, almost obsessively, throughout the course of the whole work. These two intervals, not unlike plasticine, habitually transform themselves into the scales, chords, and melodic lines that pervade the texture of the quartet. Owing to the largely unrelieved dramatic flow, the shifting speed, and the often fervent intensity, the quartet places considerable demands on the dexterity, virtuosity, and stamina of the four performers. String Quartet No. 5 is approximately 22 minutes in duration and affectionately dedicated to my violinist wife Elizabeth, as a gift for our 47 years together. It was commissioned by the Corigliano String Quartet, New York, NY. -- Sydney Hodkinson.

“Many ideas come to us in the middle of the wee hours, and especially after a good dinner and a good drink. The following day is a merciless sieve: only the best ideas survive. Writing 'Soliloque 2: La tornade' was one of those ideas that endured the light of the following day, after I had spent a good evening with my friend Jukka Harju, a master of french horn, in April 2012. He realized that needed a new, shortish solo piece for his concert on the Nordic Hornfest in Norway, and after a quick and imprudent thought, I said 'yes' when he wanted me to write it. Knowing that Jukka's bravura is his fantastic cantabile and more silent sounds, I wanted to introduce the other end of his virtuosity, that is, his ability to shape music constructed of quicker passages. After numerous get-togethers where we tried different views and angles, the piece was duly finished for the premiere in early August 2012. It might be signed by me, but it was definitely made better by Jukka's umpteen questions and proposals.” (Osmo Tapio Räihälä).

Whoever has successfully worked his way through the first books of Wieland Ziegenrucker's Praktische Musiklehre (BV 311/312) and is motivated to continue on the path of enlightenment, can now add the finishing touches to his knowledge: in the rhythm section of this method, the author tackles irregularities such as triplets and changes of meter; in the harmony section, we find cadences in major and minor as well as the simple harmonization of melodies and for a lively and varied learning experience beat, blues and swing. While the author consistently expands his basic principle, ear training retains its fundamental value. Consequently, this third volume also contains an enclosed CD to allow the user to hear the exercises. Ziegenrucker introduces and illustrates all new items with many music examples, exercises and drills.With publication of the latest edition, the answers are only available in print under BV 393 (ISBN 978-3-7651-0393-3).Please note that the audio samples in the test PDF can only be played on computers after downloading.
