This
spirited work, in 3/4,
maintains a quick tempo
throughout. The opening,
rhythmic motif builds
steadily before the full
band states the main
theme. A lightly scored
middle section leads into
a restatement of the
beginning material. A
wonderful piece to
challenge your group, as
Lauren makes use of some
independent lines while
staying well within the
grade level. (3:15).

Lowel
l Liebermann's 4th String
Quartet was commissioned
by the Canandaigua Lake
Chamber Music Festival
and the Wood Library,
Canandaigua, NY, for the
Orion Quartet in
celebration of their 20th
Anniversary. The quartet
was premiered by the
Orions at the Canandaigua
Lake Chamber Music
Festival in Rochester, NY
on February 9th, 2008. To
quote the writer Mark
Greenberg: It's a
remarkable piece. The
mood is elegiacal and
meditative, the melodic
lines sinuous and
searching, the harmonies
rich and astonishingly
beautiful. Liebermann
works within the
traditions of Western
tonality, but that is a
mansion with many rooms.
Liebermann inhabits all
of them as his expressive
purposes require, and he
doesn't mind knocking
down a wall to create new
harmonic spaces. The
Fourth Quartet doesn't
exactly fit the
neoromantic niche into
which Liebermann is
sometimes placed. Much of
the music, especially
near the beginning, is a
highly advanced and fluid
chromatic expressionism
with modernist
tendencies. Sometimes
this roiling cloudscape
breaks open to allow a
patch of near-classical
harmony and
almost-resolution. Near
the midpoint the clouds
lift in leaping
modulations. Several
chordal passages recall
Russian Orthodox chant.
Suddenly, when you've
begun to think the
somber, deliberate pace
has gone on a bit too
long, Liebermann
introduces a kind of
hobbled, stilted jazz
idiom. The piece dies in
pensive quiet.

The
world of melodic jazz
banjo soloing is revealed
in this comprehensive
method which leads a
student from basic
intervals to advanced
theoretical concepts and
finally to a firm
foundation in jazz
fundamentals. Included
are over 90 exercises and
examples written in both
tablature fingerings and
standard music notation
which show how scales and
arpeggios are used and
how they apply to real
playing situations. Every
five-string banjoist can
benefit from the
information contained in
this breakthrough volume
whether they aspire to
jazz or just want to find
out more about the
possibilities and
structure of the
banjo.Starting with basic
intervals, Straight-Ahead
Jazz for Banjo shows the
structure of all basic
chord types and qualities
and matches these to the
scales that generate
them. The books basic
concept model is to treat
the five-string banjos
potential in an inclusive
technical context so that
the student can make use
of open and fifth strings
to create a smooth legato
style. Each of the 90
exercises are recorded
with a metronome and
progress to 16 additional
examples of original jazz
phrases in a variety of
keys. Topics include
functional major and
minor key harmony,
diminished and augmented
scales and how they are
used, and the integration
of altered scale
substitutes in the art of
jazz improvisation. It
stresses listening and
learning in a logical
structured manner with an
example of a daily
practice plan. The unique
emphasis of the book is
on the fingerings which
make the instrument work
for you technically and
thus open up added
possibilities for the
development of a students
personal style. This
long-awaited volume will
surely bring new focus
and perspective to any
banjo style and will be a
classic reference for
many new generations of
banjoists. Includes
access to online
audio.

The men
and women of the Royal
Canadian Air Force are
the inspiration behind
this original composition
by Vince Gassi. The first
work in his Armed Forces
Suite, it takes off with
a bright, spirited theme
first heard in the
flutes. The rest of the
ensemble soon joins in
the maneuvers and offers
a fuller tactical report.
Clarinets take over with
dignity, providing a
lyrical contrast, and are
supported by a stately
accompaniment. It isn't
long before we start to
feel the spirit of
adventure building to a
contrasting section
conveying images of
stealth and intrigue.
Covert operations lead
finally to a restatement
of the opening theme by
the brass with flute and
clarinet obligato.
Interlace with fragments
from the covert section
and we are carried to a
soaring conclusion. If
you are looking for a
spirited concert opener

commemorates the 50th

Reflections
From the Wall
commemorates the 40th
anniversary of the end of
the Vietnam War, and is
inspired by the men and
women who served our
country during this
conflict. The basis of
the music is an emotional
representation of the
composer's visit to the
Vietnam War Memorial and
to the power of this
spectacular monument.
