UPC: 680160908974. 9 x 12
inches. Key: G
major. The title,
Live On, by Larry Clark,
is taken from Chrissie
Pinney's poem about grief
and loss. The piece is
meant to depict the
personality of Linda
Mann, to whom it is
dedicated. The opening is
poignant and pensive,
followed by a whimsical
theme which alludes to
happy thoughts of a life
well-lived. The piece
builds to a
triumphant?conclusion
based on an augmented
version of the
theme.
Live On
was commissioned by
Diplomat Middle School's
staff, faculty and
students in Cape Coral,
Florida, and is dedicated
to the memory of their
Director of Bands, Linda
Mann. Director of
Orchestras, Roland Forti,
championed the
commissioning of this
piece to honor the life
of Linda after her
untimely passing in
February of 2017. Linda Manns
impact on the field of
music education was
profound and
wide-reaching. She was a
beloved member of the
staff at Diplomat Middle
School, as well as the
music community of Cape
Coral and the state of
Florida. Linda was highly
respected throughout the
state, serving as recent
past-president of the
Florida Bandmasters
Association.
In discussing
the type of piece the
school wanted to honor
Ms. Mann, they indicated
the piece should depict
Lindas personality -
dynamic, sassy, yet
thoughtful and almost
mentor-like. They wanted
a piece that was upbeat,
yet still had moments
that were thoughtful,
portraying the grief that
the Diplomat Middle
School community has
suffered from the sudden
loss of such a beloved
teacher. After
contemplating their
thoughts, I did some
research to find
inspiration for the
piece. This led me to
poetry about grief and
loss. In time, I stumbled
upon a short, yet
poignant poem that I felt
perfectly depicted the
sentiment that I wanted
the piece to convey. That poem is
entitled Live On
by Chrissie
Pinney. Live
On Now as I live
on Without
you I
hope to keep
The pieces of
you That I loved so
dearly Your
mannerisms And
compassionate
character And smiles
through
struggle So
that you May live on

-Chrissie
Pinney I
reached out to Ms.
Pinney, and she
graciously agreed to
allow me to quote her
powerful poem in these
notes. She expressed
that she was deeply
touched that her work
would inspire me to write
a piece in honor of Linda
Mann. The piece begins
with a poignant, pensive
opening section. The use
of the musical interval
of a tritone between the
first two openly voiced
chords are used to
represent the sadness we
all feel from this type
of loss. When I sat in
front of my piano and
started to work on this
piece, my hands seemed to
naturally and immediately
play these first two
chords, which set the
process in motion of
composing the
piece. After the somber
opening, the piece shifts
to a whimsical theme that
I hope brings about happy
thoughts of Linda and her
personality. It was also
my intent, however, to
include some musical
dissonance in the theme
that still reflected the
bittersweet loss at the
same time. The piece
develops into a secondary
theme that is a quasi
inversion of the main
fast theme. This section
is followed by a return
of the opening material,
with snippets of the fast
theme intertwined, before
the piece builds to a
triumphant, augmented
presentation of the main
theme in a lush form to
complete the
work. It is my hope
that in some small way,
this piece will bring
comfort to those affected
by the loss of Linda
Mann, and that the music
will allow her memory to

naturally and immediately
play these first two
chords, which set the
process in motion of
composing the
piece. After the somber
opening, the piece shifts
to a whimsical theme that
I hope brings about happy
thoughts of Linda and her
personality. It was also
my intent, however, to
include some musical
dissonance in the theme
that still reflected the
bittersweet loss at the

develops into a secondary
theme that is a quasi
inversion of the main
fast theme. This section

to the memory of their
Director of Bands, Linda
Mann. Director of
Orchestras, Roland Forti,
championed the
commissioning of this
piece to honor the life
of Linda after her
untimely passing in
February of 2017.A Linda Mannas
impact on the field of
music education was
profound and
wide-reaching. She was a
beloved member of the
staff at Diplomat Middle
School, as well as the
music community of Cape
Coral and the state of
Florida. Linda was highly
respected throughout the
state, serving as recent
past-president of the
Florida Bandmasters
Association.
In discussing
the type of piece the
school wanted to honor
Ms. Mann, they indicated
the piece should adepict
Lindaas personality -
dynamic, sassy, yet
thoughtful and almost
mentor-like.a They wanted
a piece that was upbeat,
yet still had moments
that were thoughtful,
portraying the grief that
the Diplomat Middle
School community has
suffered from the sudden
loss of such a beloved
teacher. After
contemplating their
thoughts, I did some
research to find
inspiration for the
piece. This led me to
poetry about grief and
loss. In time, I stumbled
upon a short, yet
poignant poem that I felt
perfectly depicted the
sentiment that I wanted
the piece to convey.A That poem is
entitled Live On
by Chrissie
Pinney. Live
On Now as I live

you I
hope to keep
The pieces of
you That I loved so
dearly Your
mannerisms And
compassionate
character And smiles

Pinney, and she
graciously agreed to
allow me to quote her
powerful poem in these
notes.A She expressed
that she was deeply
touched that her work
would inspire me to write
a piece in honor of Linda
Mann. The piece begins
with a poignant, pensive
opening section. The use
of the musical interval
of a tritone between the

represent the sadness we
all feel from this type
of loss. When I sat in

committee about this
strong new piece for

Tapestries was
commissioned by Friends
of the Arts for the Saint
Andrew's School Band in
Boca Raton,
Florida. The band
program at Saint
Andrew’s School is
under the direction of
Andrea Wolgin. The
premiere took place on
November 29, 2017.When I
was asked by their
conductor Ms. Wolgin to
write a piece for the
Saint Andrew’s
School, I asked her what
kind of involvement she
wanted the students to
have in the process. We
discussed several options
for having the students
involved in the process
of creating with the type
of piece they wanted.Â
We set up a
“Skypeâ€
meeting with members of
the band to discuss the
piece. During this
discussion, the consensus
of the students was that
they wanted a piece
depicting the Scottish
influence to the
school. They also
wanted a piece that would
challenge all sections of
the band and to include
bagpipes if possible. I
asked that the students
be involved in helping to
name the piece once it
was completed, for which
they agreed and were very
helpful. Armed with
this information, I set
out to compose a piece
for them, and Tartan
Tapestries is the
result.The piece begins
with a fanfare gesture
based upon rhythms and
harmonies that appear
throughout the piece. I
chose the lilting triple
feel to the piece, to
bring about the Scottish
flavor. I wanted the
fanfare to be bardic
sounding, to depict the
strength of the Scottish
people and for the piece
to have a dynamic
opening. The fanfare
contains material that
alludes to the main theme
and with a bit of
dissonance and tension
that is resolved in the
main body of the
piece.The main theme is a
lilting original melody,
but one that I hope with
have the essence of
Scottish folk songs. The
main idea is followed by
a more modal and dark
sounding secondary theme,
first stated in the
horns. This material
is later used in the
development section of
the piece. The main
theme returns several
times, with different and
varied orchestrations and
harmonic treatments. This
is followed by a short
transition leading to the
more lyrical and slower
second section of the
piece. A transparent
presentation of the
lyrical theme, which is
based on aspects of the
main theme, is presented
first by a solo flute.
This section is a nod to
famous composer Malcom
Arnold’s wonderful
works for orchestra in
its style and
orchestration. After a
transition or bridge
section with a solo
euphonium, the piece
builds to a dramatic
climax of the lyrical
theme by the full band.
This subsides to a return
of the solo flute to end
this second section of
the piece, followed by a
transition back the main
theme.The solo bagpipes
play a central role in
the return of the main
theme and take center
stage after being heard
in the distance earlier
in the work. The piece
brings back a shortened
version of the darker
secondary theme, followed
by a hint of the fanfare
material that builds to
one last statement of the
main theme by the full
band, before leading to a
dramatic coda to complete
the work.It has been my
pleasure to have been
given the opportunity to
compose this piece for
the Saint Andrew’s
School Band! I thank
Andrea Wolgin for making
it happen, and I hope
that you enjoy it as much
as I have enjoyed
bringing the piece to
life.–Larry

d for a consortium of

bands in the north Dallas
region, FOR THEMYSTIC
HARMONY is a 10-minute
inspirational work in
homage to Norwood and
Elizabeth Dixon,patrons
of the Fort Worth
Symphony and the Van
Cliburn Competition.
Welcher draws melodic
flavorfrom five American
hymns, spirituals, and
folk tunes of the 19th
century. The last of
these sources toappear is
the hymn tune For the
Beauty of the Earth,
whose third stanza is the
quatrain: “For the
joy of earand eye, For
the heart and
mind’s delight,
For the mystic harmony,
Linking sense to sound
and sight,â€giving
rise to the work’s
title. This work,
commissioned for a
consortium of high school
bands in the north Dallas
area, is my fifteenth
maturework for wind
ensemble (not counting
transcriptions). When I
asked Todd Dixon, the
band director
whospearheaded this
project, what kind of a
work he most wanted, he
first said
“something
that’s basically
slow,†butwanted to
leave the details to me.
During a long subsequent
conversation, he
mentioned that his
grandparents,Norwood and
Elizabeth Dixon, were
prime supporters of the
Fort Worth Symphony,
going so far as to
purchase anumber of high
quality instruments for
that orchestra. This
intrigued me, so I asked
more about his
grandparentsand was
provided an 80-page
biographical sketch.
Reading that article,
including a long section
about theirdevotion to
supporting a young man
through the rigors of the
Van Cliburn International
Piano Competition fora
number of years, moved me
very much. Norwood and
Elizabeth Dixon
weren’t just
supporters of the arts;
theywere passionate
lovers of music and
musicians. I determined
to make this work a
testament to that love,
and tothe religious faith
that sustained them both.
The idea of using extant
hymns was also suggested
by Todd Dixon,and this
10-minute work is the
result.I have employed
existing melodies in
several works, delving
into certain kinds of
religious music more than
a fewtimes. In seeking
new sounds, new ways of
harmonizing old tunes,
and the contrapuntal
overlaying of one
tunewith another, I was
able to make works like
ZION (using 19th-century
Revivalist hymns) and
LABORING SONGS(using
Shaker melodies) reflect
the spirit of the
composers who created
these melodies, without
sounding likepastiches or
medleys. I determined to
do the same with this new
work, with the added
problem of
employingmelodies that
were more familiar. I
chose five tunes from the
19th century: hymns,
spirituals, and
folk-tunes.Some of these
are known by differing
titles, but they all
appear in hymnals of
various Christian
denominations(with
various titles and
texts). My idea was to
employ the tunes without
altering their notes,
instead using aconstantly
modulating sense of
harmony —
sometimes leading to
polytonal harmonizations
of what are
normallysimple four-chord
hymns.The work begins and
ends with a repeated
chime on the note C: a
reminder of steeples,
white clapboard
churchesin the country,
and small church organs.
Beginning with a
Mixolydian folk tune of
Caribbean origin
presentedtwice with
layered entrances, the
work starts with a
feeling of mystery and
gentle sorrow. It
proceeds, after along
transition, into a second
hymn that is sometimes
connected to the sea
(hence the sensation of
water andwaves throughout
it). This tune, by John
B. Dykes (1823-1876), is
a bit more chromatic and
“shifty†than
mosthymn-tunes, so I
chose to play with the
constant sensation of
modulation even more than
the original does. Atthe
climax, the familiar
spiritual “Were you
there?†takes over,
with a double-time
polytonal feeling
propelling itforward at
“Sometimes it
causes me to
tremble.â€Trumpets
in counterpoint raise the
temperature, and the
tempo as well, leading
the music into a third
tune (ofunknown
provenance, though it
appears with different
texts in various hymnals)
that is presented in a
sprightlymanner. Bassoons
introduce the melody, but
it is quickly taken up by
other instruments over
three
“verses,â€cons
tantly growing in
orchestration and volume.
A mysterious second tune,
unrelated to this one,
interrupts it inall three
verses, sending the
melody into unknown
regions.The final melody
is “For the Beauty
of the Earth.†This
tune by Conrad Kocher
(1786-1872) is commonly
sung atThanksgiving
— the perfect
choice to end this work
celebrating two people
known for their
generosity.Keeping the
sense of constant
modulation that has been
present throughout, I
chose to present this
hymn in threegrowing
verses, but with a twist:
every four bars, the
“key†of the
hymn seems to shift
— until the
“Lord of all,
toThee we praiseâ€
melody bursts out in a
surprising compound
meter. This, as it turns
out, was the
“mystery
tuneâ€heard earlier
in the piece. After an
Ivesian, almost polytonal
climax, the Coda begins
over a long B( pedal. At
first,it seems to be a
restatement of the first
two phrases of “For
the Beauty†with
long spaces between them,
but it soonchanges to a
series of
“Amenâ€
cadences, widely
separated by range and
color. These, too, do not
conform to anykey, but
instead overlay each
other in ways that are
unpredictable but
strangely comforting.The
third verse of “For
the Beauty of the
Earth†contains
this quatrain:“For
the joy of ear and eye,
–For the heart and
mind’s delightFor
the mystic harmonyLinking
sense to sound and
sightâ€and it was
from this poetry that I
drew the title for the
present work. It is my
hope that audiences and
performerswill find
within it a sense of
grace: more than a little
familiar, but also quite
new and unexpected. $150.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 24 hours - In Stock | | |

folk tunes of the 19th
century. The last of
these sources toappear is
the hymn tune For the
Beauty of the Earth,
whose third stanza is the
quatrain: “For the
joy of earand eye, For
the heart and
mind’s delight,
For the mystic harmony,
Linking sense to sound
and sight,â€giving
rise to the work’s
title. This work,
commissioned for a
consortium of high school
bands in the north Dallas
area, is my fifteenth
maturework for wind
ensemble (not counting
transcriptions). When I
asked Todd Dixon, the
band director
whospearheaded this
project, what kind of a
work he most wanted, he
first said
“something
that’s basically
slow,†butwanted to
leave the details to me.
During a long subsequent
conversation, he
mentioned that his
grandparents,Norwood and
Elizabeth Dixon, were
prime supporters of the
Fort Worth Symphony,
going so far as to
purchase anumber of high
quality instruments for
that orchestra. This
intrigued me, so I asked
more about his
grandparentsand was
provided an 80-page
biographical sketch.
Reading that article,
including a long section
about theirdevotion to
supporting a young man
through the rigors of the
Van Cliburn International
Piano Competition fora
number of years, moved me
very much. Norwood and
Elizabeth Dixon
weren’t just
supporters of the arts;
theywere passionate
lovers of music and
musicians. I determined
to make this work a
testament to that love,
and tothe religious faith
that sustained them both.
The idea of using extant
hymns was also suggested
by Todd Dixon,and this
10-minute work is the
result.I have employed
existing melodies in
several works, delving
into certain kinds of
religious music more than
a fewtimes. In seeking
new sounds, new ways of
harmonizing old tunes,
and the contrapuntal
overlaying of one
tunewith another, I was
able to make works like
ZION (using 19th-century
Revivalist hymns) and
LABORING SONGS(using
Shaker melodies) reflect
the spirit of the
composers who created
these melodies, without
sounding likepastiches or
medleys. I determined to
do the same with this new
work, with the added
problem of
employingmelodies that
were more familiar. I
chose five tunes from the
19th century: hymns,
spirituals, and
folk-tunes.Some of these
are known by differing
titles, but they all
appear in hymnals of
various Christian
denominations(with
various titles and
texts). My idea was to
employ the tunes without
altering their notes,
instead using aconstantly
modulating sense of
harmony —
sometimes leading to
polytonal harmonizations
of what are
normallysimple four-chord
hymns.The work begins and
ends with a repeated
chime on the note C: a
reminder of steeples,
white clapboard
churchesin the country,
and small church organs.
Beginning with a
Mixolydian folk tune of
Caribbean origin
presentedtwice with
layered entrances, the
work starts with a
feeling of mystery and
gentle sorrow. It
proceeds, after along
transition, into a second
hymn that is sometimes
connected to the sea
(hence the sensation of
water andwaves throughout
it). This tune, by John
B. Dykes (1823-1876), is
a bit more chromatic and
“shifty†than
mosthymn-tunes, so I
chose to play with the
constant sensation of
modulation even more than
the original does. Atthe
climax, the familiar
spiritual “Were you
there?†takes over,
with a double-time
polytonal feeling
propelling itforward at
“Sometimes it
causes me to
tremble.â€Trumpets
in counterpoint raise the
temperature, and the
tempo as well, leading
the music into a third
tune (ofunknown
provenance, though it
appears with different
texts in various hymnals)
that is presented in a
sprightlymanner. Bassoons
introduce the melody, but
it is quickly taken up by
other instruments over
three
“verses,â€cons
tantly growing in
orchestration and volume.
A mysterious second tune,
unrelated to this one,
interrupts it inall three
verses, sending the
melody into unknown
regions.The final melody
is “For the Beauty
of the Earth.†This
tune by Conrad Kocher
(1786-1872) is commonly
sung atThanksgiving
— the perfect
choice to end this work
celebrating two people
known for their
generosity.Keeping the
sense of constant
modulation that has been
present throughout, I
chose to present this
hymn in threegrowing
verses, but with a twist:
every four bars, the
“key†of the
hymn seems to shift
— until the
“Lord of all,
toThee we praiseâ€
melody bursts out in a
surprising compound
meter. This, as it turns
out, was the
“mystery
tuneâ€heard earlier
in the piece. After an
Ivesian, almost polytonal
climax, the Coda begins
over a long B( pedal. At
first,it seems to be a
restatement of the first
two phrases of “For
the Beauty†with
long spaces between them,
but it soonchanges to a
series of
“Amenâ€
cadences, widely
separated by range and
color. These, too, do not
conform to anykey, but
instead overlay each
other in ways that are
unpredictable but
strangely comforting.The
third verse of “For
the Beauty of the
Earth†contains
this quatrain:“For
the joy of ear and eye,
–For the heart and
mind’s delightFor
the mystic harmonyLinking
sense to sound and
sightâ€and it was
from this poetry that I
drew the title for the
present work. It is my
hope that audiences and
performerswill find
within it a sense of
grace: more than a little
familiar, but also quite
new and unexpected. $25.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 24 hours - In Stock | | |

the bend of the downspout

Through an upstairs
window, I could easily
observe her feeding the
newly hatched birds. A
couple weeks passed
before I spotted one of

suddenly take flight for

rustle of wings and a
rocky descent to the
ground. Feeling worried,
I hurried outside to see
what would happen. Part

to come to the rescue,

of beauty, wonder and
humility. The euphonium
solo presents the theme
as a wistful offering to
things beyond our
understanding. Throughout
the selection this theme
is passed throughout the
ensemble, and thicker
textures evolve. The
mallet percussion plays a
vital role in providing
harmonic stability early
in the selection.
Non-pitched percussion is
essential in building
tension and generating
effective impacts at
louder dynamic levels.
Ideally, the two
triangles found in the
Percussion 2 part should
be mounted and of two
distinctly different
pitches. Both should be
played with light beaters
if possible. I sincerely
hope Many Moons provides
years of inspiration for
you and your ensemble
just as that southwestern
sky did for me many moons
ago. All of us have
experienced unique
moments in our lives that
create unforgettable
mental snapshots. These
images can often provide
comfort, a moment of
humor, or can be a source
of inspiration. Years ago
while traveling with (who
are now) old friends, I
witnessed a New Mexico
night sky for the very
first time. We were so
taken with the view that
we pulled our rental car
to the side of the
highway just to stand and
stare skyward. The
clarity and size of the
stars redefined my
understanding of our
place in this vast
universe. To my eye, I
was staring at hundreds
of little moons. In

680160910496. Takin
g its title from a poem
about grief and loss by
Chrissie Pinney, Live
On honors the life of
band director Linda Mann,
to whom the piece is
dedicated. The piece
begins with a pensive
intro before shifting to
a whimsical theme that
brings about happy
thoughts of a life
well-lived. After a
return to the poignant
opening material, the
music surges to a
triumphant conclusion
based on an augmented
version of the whimsical
theme. Live On was
commissioned by Diplomat
Middle School's staff,
faculty and students, in
Cape Coral, Florida, and
is dedicated to the
memory of their Director
of Bands, Linda Mann.
Director of Orchestras,
Roland Forti, championed
the commissioning of this
piece to honor the life
of Linda after her
untimely passing in
February of
2017. Linda
Mann’s impact on
the field of music
education was profound
and wide-reaching. She
was a beloved member of
the staff at Diplomat
Middle School, as well as
the music community of
Cape Coral and the state
of Florida. Linda was
highly respected
throughout the state,
serving as recent
past-president of the
Florida Bandmasters
Association.In discussing
the type of piece the
school wanted to honor
Ms. Mann, they indicated
the piece should
“depict
Linda’s
personality: dynamic,
sassy, yet thoughtful and
almost
mentor-like.†They
wanted a piece that was
upbeat, yet still had
moments that were
thoughtful, portraying
the grief that the
Diplomat Middle School
community has suffered
from the sudden loss of
such a beloved
teacher.After
contemplating their
thoughts, I did some
research to find
inspiration for the
piece. This led me to
poetry about grief and
loss. In time, I stumbled
upon a short, yet
poignant poem that I felt
perfectly depicted the
sentiment that I wanted
the piece to convey.Â
That poem is entitled
Live On by Chrissie
Pinney.Live OnNow as I
live onWithout youI hope
to keepThe pieces of
youThat I loved so
dearlyYour mannerismsAnd
compassionate
characterAnd smiles
through struggleSo that
youMay live on
too -Chrissie PinneyI
reached out to Ms.
Pinney, and she
graciously agreed to
allow me to quote her
powerful poem in these
notes. She expressed
that she was deeply
touched that her work
would inspire me to write
a piece in honor of Linda
Mann.The piece begins
with a poignant, pensive
opening section. The use
of the musical interval
of a tritone between the
first two openly voiced
chords are used to
represent the sadness we
all feel from this type
of loss. When I sat in
front of my piano and
started to work on this
piece, my hands seemed to
naturally and immediately
play these first two
chords, which set the
process in motion of
composing the piece.After
the somber opening, the
piece shifts to a
whimsical theme that I
hope brings about happy
thoughts of Linda and her
personality. It was also
my intent, however, to
include some musical
dissonance in the theme
that still reflected the
bittersweet loss at the
same time. The piece
develops into a secondary
theme that is a quasi
inversion of the main
fast theme. This
section is followed by a
return of the opening
material, with snippets
of the fast theme
intertwined, before the
piece builds to a
triumphant, augmented
presentation of the main
theme in a lush form to
complete the work.It is
my hope that in some
small way, this piece
will bring comfort to
those affected by the
loss of Linda Mann, and
that the music will allow
her memory to Live
On.–Larry
