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.

Fanfare Band - Grade 3

Composed by John Blanken. Inspiration Series. Folk Music. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2004. De Haske Publications #DHP 1043586-020. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-1043586-020).

John Blanken composed Intrada & Wilhelmus in 2002.The title speaks for itself. It's an introduction to the national anthem of The Netherlands; Wilhelmus. In this piece the national anthem is heared two times followed by a short postlude.

De titel van Intrada & Wilhelmus spreekt voor zich: een feestelijke introductie gaat vooraf aan het Wilhelmus. De in de introductie gebruikte motieven zijn direct afgeleid van het lied en komen afwisselend naar voren,als het ware gescandeerd door het hele orkest. De introductie besluit met de slotzin van het lied, zodat duidelijk is dat het Wilhelmus begint - voor het geval het de bedoeling is dat de aanwezigen meezingen.De bewerkingbevat twee coupletten van het volkslied. Het eerste is een vierstemmige instrumentatie. Het tweede couplet is groots van opzet: de melodie wordt omlijst met signalen, waardoor een imposant geheel ontstaat. Dit laatste couplet gaatnaadloos over in het naspel, dat weer dezelfde motieven bevat als het begin - en waarmee het werk net zo krachtig sluit als het begon.

UPC: 888680932879. 6.75x10.5x0.029 inches. Abraham Lincoln/Daniel McDavitt.

Daniel McDavitt has composed an exquisite trilogy using texts from three American greats: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Abraham Lincoln, and William Wordsworth. Although they can be performed individually, they are most powerful as a set, each with flute obbligato. The first “memoryâ� �‚¬Â from Emerson is about music, and is joyful and buoyant. The second “memoryâ� �‚¬Â is from Lincoln, and is more reflective about childhood. The final “memoryâ� �‚¬Â by Wordsworth combines the thoughts of the previous two in a mature understanding. A delightful trilogy for high school choirs.

During the eighteenth century a person called ‘The Dance Master' made his appearance in Ireland. He was a travelling dance-teacher, who moved from one village to another to teach the people there how to dance. The piece consists of two dances, Reel and the Jig.

Excuse me, may I play along? Could you step aside, please?
‘Step Aside’ is a pleasant competition both between two tempi and among the different parts.
After a short, slow introduction it is the drummer who, without asking the questions above, sets the high pace. As soon as this rapid movement has been established, ‘part 1’ takes the lead, but the other parts obviously don’t want to miss a thing and follow in rapid succession.
At the end of the composition the various parts ‘compete’ in order to be able to play solo for a while, but soon others join in again, asking ‘Excuse me, may I play along?’

Mag ik er even bij? Zou je even aan de kant willen gaan?
Step Aside is een plezierige wedstrijd tussen twee tempi en tussen de stemmen onderling.
Na de korte, langzame inleiding is het de drummer die zonder deze vraag testellen het snelle tempo inzet. Als het snelle deel goed en wel op de rails staat, neemt 'stem 1' de leiding, maar de andere stemmen willen natuurlijk niets missen en volgen in rap tempo.
Aan het slot 'strijden' de verschillendestemmen om een stukje alleen te spelen, maar al snel zijn er weer anderen die vragen 'mag ik er even bij?'.
