A Grateful Tail
- Movement by Movement
Siriusly, Dog Star
Sirius, the brightest
star in the night sky,
has been used by
travelers and navigators
for thousands of years as
a guiding star and so it
is here as the opening
movement for the
symphony. Sirius, the
cornerstone to the
constellation Canis
Maggiore or Big Dog sits
at the foot of Orion, the
hunter, leading the way.
Highly cinematic, the
movement evokes both a
musical and visual sense
of the mythological and
mysterious elements of
Sirius and its Dog
Godstar secrets. From the
clarion call of the
opening, Sirius theme,
the sound is buoyant and
frisky emulating the
nature of doggy playtime.
Puppy pleasures abound as
a doggy four-step, my
turn on the traditional
American two-step dance,
is introduced. The
movement transforms into
an actual orchestrated
frolic of small, large
and medium dog barks
beginning with the winds
(smaller dogs) and
ultimately, the big dog,
brass. The movement
climaxes with the coda
or, Dog Park, where the
winds and the brass bark
and play together over
the, doggy ostinato
four-step rhythm,
culminating with the
final call of the Sirius
theme. Let Sleeping Dogs
Lie, Peacefully It's all
in a dog's day and life.
Tranquility presides over
this supremely gentle,
intermezzo-like movement.
After a day of play,
every dog needs rest. Let
Sleeping Dogs Lie, is a
lyrical andante inspired
by the profound serenity
and beauty of a dog at
rest. The Last Will and
Testament of Silverdene
Emblem O'Neill Based on a
powerful piece of prose
written by the American
playwright, Eugene
O'Neill this text was
intended as a consolation
piece for Carlotta, his
wife, who had become
grief-stricken over the
loss of their beloved
dog, the Dalmatian known
as Blemie.Written for a
singing actor who
personifies the role of
Blemie, a dog at the end
of his life, the movement
plays like a one act,
musical drama as we
follow Blemie through a
wonderfully
three-dimensional,
emotional and
psychological journey
writing his Last Will and
Testament, for those who
have loved him. Wagging
the Tail: Ossia Fido's
Lament A life-affirming
rumba/samba using
Blemie's final words from
O'Neill's text, this
final movement employs
the most unique American
musical invention, the
gospel choir. In order to
make the dances come
alive, this movement also
calls upon the colors of
a rhythm section.
Creating the spirit of an
Irish Funeral, the
movement is a joyful and
revival-like celebration
of a dog's life as its
spirit lives on forever
in the hearts and minds
of dog lovers everywhere.

grateful tail. Published

The
mystical atmosphere of
Greece's coastal caves,
which shine with dazzling
iridescent blue light
through crystal-clear
waters, is the
inspiration of this rich,
cinematic selection.
Students will be
challenged to maintain a
balanced, warm tone
throughout, with a slow
tempo and increased part
independence. But they'll
adore the flowing,
interlocking streams of
dreamlike melody in all
the parts and an ominous
sense of tension and
release that builds to a
rewarding conclusion. An
optional harp part is
included. The Blue Caves
of Zakynthos, by Doug

The word
GONG is saturated with
associations: the
splendour of the Orient,
mysticism, drama, loud
metallic clangour,
violent impact, etc. The
present piece draws upon
all those connotations,
but it is primarily a
symphonic drama about the
life and behaviour of the
sun, our closest star and
prime source of life on
Earth. Describing the sun
in music is not a new
idea, of course; during a
visit to Greece, Carl
Nielsen was inspired by
the orbit of the sun and
its very un-Danish
ferocity and thus wrote
the Helios Overture. GONG
is a Helios Overture too,
of sorts, albeit more
abstract. Recent
astronomical research
shows, that the surface
of the sun reverberates
like a gong, in four
different, simultaneous
tempi (not directly
depicted in the score,
though); the sun looks
like a GONG, - the O in
the written work looks
like the sun; there is
even a solar research
group called GONG (Global
Oscillation Network
Group). Formally the
composition follows the
life and fate of the sun,
from the initial
explotional birth through
the hyper-activity as
energy source as we know
it today to the final,
predicted flaring up and
collapse into a so-called
white dwarf. But - being
a musical composition,
not an astrophysical
thesis - GONG is brought
to its compositional
conclusion by a real
concert-ending, a chord
taken from the middle of
the piece and sustained
over several bars, from
virtual nothingness to
full force.

The
future of our fragile
world is in our hands. As
Sir David Attenborough
stated on the Climate
Conference in Glasgow on
November, 1st, 2021: ...
We are already in
trouble. The stability we
all depend on is
breaking. This story is
one of inequality, as
well as instability.
Today, those
who’ve done the
least to cause this
problem, are being the
hardest hit. Ultimately,
all of us will feel the
impact, some of which are
now unavoidable. ...
We’re going to
have to learn together,
how to achieve this,
ensuring none are left
behind. We must use this
opportunity to create a
more equal world and our
motivation should not be
fear, but hope. ... . We
must be more caring about
the wonderful place we
live in... our unique
home: Planet Earth. This
music is both a shoutout
to take care of our
planet and a hymn to the
beauty of this place. The
composition is suited for
stage as well as for the
enjoyment in music school
orchestral practice.

This
compelling reflection
upon Jesus’ final
days is viewed through
His eyes and the eyes of
those surrounding Him:
Mary, sister of Martha;
an officer to Caiaphas;
Judas; Peter; Jesus
Himself; Pilate; Mary,
the mother of Jesus; Mary
Magdalene; and Thomas. A
sequence of dramatic,
scripture-based
monologues tells the
story, alternating with
Lloyd Larson’s
masterfully inspired
music as the “voice
of the believerâ€
responds. Flexibly
conceived, this work may
be presented as simply or
as elaborately as you
wish, depending upon your
resources and
preferences. Performance
options range from use as
a source of single
anthems for your seasonal
service needs to a short
worship program with
monologues and choruses
or a special, fully
staged production. It is
our hope that this work
will prompt your own
reflections upon the
great wonder and mystery
of the Incarnate God Who,
for the love of His
people, humbled Himself,
dying for our salvation
and triumphing over
death.

Mozart
composed two new
symphonies in the Autumn
of 1773, after having
returned to Salzburg from
Vienna. The first of the
two was the
<I>Symphony No.24
In B Flat K.182, and the
second was the Symphony
No.25 in G Minor
K.183<BR><BR>
This symphony was one of
two which Mozart composed
in a minor key ? the
other being the Symphony
No.40 in G Minor
K.550</I>. The
latter can be identified
with some of Mozart?s
most troubled and
agitated music,
reflecting those
difficult moments in his
life. However, the
twenty-fifth symphony is
thought to have been
composed as part of a
sudden wave of minor-key
symphonies which appeared
in the later 1760s and
early 1770s ? among
others were composed by
Vanhal, Ordonez, and
Joseph Haydn.Available
here is the study score
for one of Mozart?s two
symphonies composed in a
minor key, the Symphony
No.25 in G Minor
K.183</I>. This
score is ideal for study
and perusal usage..

The twelve
“London
Symphoniesâ€

final statement of
Haydn's symphonic ouvre.
They were written for the
London impresario Johann
Peter Salomon, and Haydn
himself conducted their
premieres during his
lengthy stays in the
English metropolis in
1791/92 and 1794/95.
Probably composed in the
winter of 1791/92, the
Symphony in D major no.
93 was, with its easily
accessible (butby no
means simple!) musical
structure, perfectly
tailored to London
tastes, which demanded
melodic clarity and
expressive pathos. The
Baroque echoes of Handel
in the slow introduction
to the first movement and
in the festive mood of
the finale with its
timpani and trumpets
would have been well
received - no wonder the
symphony had to be
repeated multiple times
in the same season after
its performance in 1792!

Progr
am note: Christmas Fugue,
like the charming English
folk tune on which it is
based, is full of the
spirit and fun that is
Christmas. After a slow
shimmering introduction
which imparts an
impression of Christmas
morning, the fugue
subject is abruptly
introduced. The fugue
subject: We Wish You a
Merry Christmas. The work
develops through a series
of playful musical
episodes which afford
satisfying opportunities
for the various sections
of the orchestra. The
fugue culminates in a
combination of motifs
which find the brass
heralding the
unmistakable arrival of
Christmas. The Composer:
Dr. Robert Bennett Brown
has devoted much of his
professional teaching
career to musical
compositions and
arrangements for young
orchestral enthusiasts.
Christmas Fugue, like
other of Dr. Drown's
published works, was
written in and for the
actual teaching
situation. At the present
time, Robert Bennett
Brown is District
Supervisor of Music for
the Levittown, N.Y.
Public Schools.
Previously, for some
nineteen years, he taught
in Bronxville, N.Y.
where, as Chairman of
Music, he brought about
an extremely high level
of school orchestral
achievement. he was
educated at New York
University and Teachers
College, Columbia
University. He has served
as a field supervisor of
student teaching for New
York University and as a
general music consultant.
For the past two years he
has been a member of the
New York State Music
Regents Committee. To the
Conductor: You will find
this work to be the
conductor's dream. Parts
are easy but impressive
sounding. The total
effect will give your
orchestra that typical
classical sound so
satisfying to performer
and listener alike. Full
or exact instrumentation
is not a must; cross-cues
will carry critical areas
where a specified
instrument may be
lacking. Piano, tuba, and
saxophone parts are
written to accommodate
those players where they
exist. These parts are
not essential to the
instrumentation. Though
Christmas Fugue is well
suited to the interests
of high school orchestra
pursuits, its grade of
difficulty is easily
handled by any junior
high school group of
average ability.

Progr
am note: Christmas Fugue,
like the charming English
folk tune on which it is
based, is full of the
spirit and fun that is
Christmas. After a slow
shimmering introduction
which imparts an
impression of Christmas
morning, the fugue
subject is abruptly
introduced. The fugue
subject: We Wish You a
Merry Christmas. The work
develops through a series
of playful musical
episodes which afford
satisfying opportunities
for the various sections
of the orchestra. The
fugue culminates in a
combination of motifs
which find the brass
heralding the
unmistakable arrival of
Christmas. The Composer:
Dr. Robert Bennett Brown
has devoted much of his
professional teaching
career to musical
compositions and
arrangements for young
orchestral enthusiasts.
Christmas Fugue, like
other of Dr. Drown's
published works, was
written in and for the
actual teaching
situation. At the present
time, Robert Bennett
Brown is District
Supervisor of Music for
the Levittown, N.Y.
Public Schools.
Previously, for some
nineteen years, he taught
in Bronxville, N.Y.
where, as Chairman of
Music, he brought about
an extremely high level
of school orchestral
achievement. he was
educated at New York
University and Teachers
College, Columbia
University. He has served
as a field supervisor of
student teaching for New
York University and as a
general music consultant.
For the past two years he
has been a member of the
New York State Music
Regents Committee. To the
Conductor: You will find
this work to be the
conductor's dream. Parts
are easy but impressive
sounding. The total
effect will give your
orchestra that typical
classical sound so
satisfying to performer
and listener alike. Full
or exact instrumentation
is not a must; cross-cues
will carry critical areas
where a specified
instrument may be
lacking. Piano, tuba, and
saxophone parts are
written to accommodate
those players where they
exist. These parts are
not essential to the
instrumentation. Though
Christmas Fugue is well
suited to the interests
of high school orchestra
pursuits, its grade of
difficulty is easily
handled by any junior
high school group of
average ability.

Enjoy the
fantasy and thrills of
the adventures from J. K.
Rowling in this
delightful setting from
Fantastic Beasts and
Where to Find Them. Very
simple, elegant, and
beautiful, this is also a
great piece to work on
shifting. The violins use
3rd position while the
cellos use both 3rd and
4th positions. There are
spots that will work
nicely in positions other
than those marked for the
violas and basses if you
want to have all sections
work on shifting.

The 1712
Overture stands out in
P.D.Q. Bach's oeuvre for
two reasons, among
others: it is by far the
most programmatic
instrumental piece among
those by the minimeister
of Wein-am-Rhein so far
unearthed, and 2) its
discovery has led to a
revelation about the
composer's father, Johann
Sebastian Bach, that has
exploded like a bombshell
on the usually serene
musicological landscape.
The overture is based on
an anecdote told to
P.D.Q. Bach by a cousin,
Peter Ulrich. Since P.U.
Bach lived in Dudeldorf,
only a few miles down the
road from Wein-am-Rhein,
he was P.D.Q.'s closest
relative, and he was, in
fact, one of the few
members of the family who
was on speaking terms
with P.D.Q. The story,
related to P.D.Q.
(fortunately for us
posterity types) in a
letter, may be summarized
thus: The town of
Dudeldorf was founded by
two brothers, Rudi and
Dieter Dudel, early in
the 18th century. Rudi
remained mayor of the
newborn burg for the rest
of his long life, but
Dieter had a dream of
starting a musicians'
colony, an entire city
devoted to music, which
dream, he finally
decided, could be
realized only in the New
World. In 1712, he and
several other bagpipers
sailed to Boston, never
to return to Germany.
(Henceforth, Rudi became
known as der deutscher
Dudel and Dieter as the
Yankee Dudel).
Unfortunately, the head
of the Boston Musicians'
Guild had gotten wind of
Dudel's plans, and
Wilhelm Wiesel (pron.
VEE-zle), known none too
affectionately around
town as Wiesel the
Weasel, was not about to
share what few gigs there
were in colonial America
with more foreigners and
outside agitators. He and
his cronies were on hand
to meet Dudel's boat when
it pulled into Boston
Harbor; they intended to
prevent the newcomers'
disembarkation, but Dudel
and his companions
managed to escape to the
other side of the bay in
a dinghy, landing with
just enough time to rent
a carriage and horses
before hearing the sound
of The Weasel and his
men, who had had to come
around the long way. The
Germans headed West, with
the Bostonians in furious
pursuit. soon the city
had been left far behind,
and by midnight so had
the pursuers; Dieter
Dudel decided that it was
safe for him and his men
to stop and sleep until
daybreak. When they
awoke, they found that
they were in a beautiful
landscape of low,
forested mountains and
pleasant fields, warmed
by the brilliant morning
sun and serenaded by an
entrancing variety of
birds. Here, Dudel
thought, her is where I
will build my colony. The
immigrants continued down
the road at a leisurely
pace until they came upon
a little church, all by
itself in the
countryside, from which
there suddenly emanated
the sounds of a pipe
organ. At this point, the
temptation to quote from
P.U. Bach's letter to
P.D.Q. cannot be
resisted: They went
inside and, after
listening to the glorious
music for a while,
introduced themselves to
the organist. And who do
you think it was? Are you
ready for this -- it was
your old man! Hey, no
kidding -- you know, I'm
sure, that your father
was the guy to get when
it came to testing new
organs, and whoever had
that one in Massachusetts
built offered old
Sebastian a tidy sum to
go over there and check
it out. The unexpected
meeting with J.S. Bach
and his sponsors was
interrupted by the sound
of horse hooves, as the
dreaded Wiesel and his
men thundered on to the
scene. They had been
riding all night,
however, and they were no
spring chickens to start
with, and as soon as they
reached the church they
all dropped, exhausted,
to the ground. The elated
Germans rang the church
bells and offered to buy
everyone a beer at the
nearest tavern. There
they were taught, and
joined in singing, what
might be called the
national anthem of the
New World. The melody of
this pre-revolutionary
patriotic song is still
remembered (P.D.Q. Bach
quotes it, in the bass
instruments, near the end
of the overture), but is
words are now all but
forgotten: Freedom, of
thee we sing, Freedom
e'er is our goal; Death
to the English King, Long
live Rock and Ross. The
striking paucity of
biographical references
to Johann Sebastian Bah
during the year 1712 can
now be explained: he was
abroad for a significant
part of that year,
testing organs in the
British Colonies. That
this revelation has not
been accepted as fact by
the musicological
establishment is no
surprise, since it means
that a lot of books would
have to be rewritten. The
members of that
establishment haven't
even accepted the
existence of P.D.Q. Bach,
one of whose major works
the 1712 Overture
certainly is. It is also
a work that shows
Tchaikowsky up as the
shameless plagiarizer
that some of us have
always known he was. The
discovery of this awesome
opus was made possible by
a Boston Pops Centennial
Research Commission; the
first modern performance
took place at the opening
concert of the 100th
anniversary season of
that orchestra, under the
exciting but authentic
direction of John
Williams.

Marche
fatale is an incautiously
daring escapade that may
annoy the fans of my
compositions more than my
earlier works, many of
which have prevailed only
after scandals at their
world premieres. My
Marche fatale has,
though, little
stylistically to do with
my previous compositional
path; it presents itself
without restraint, if not
as a regression, then
still as a recourse to
those empty phrases to
which modern civilization
still clings in its daily
utility music, whereas
music in the 20th and
21st centuries has long
since advanced to new,
unfamiliar soundscapes
and expressive
possibilities. The key
term is banality. As
creators we despise it,
we try to avoid it -
though we are not safe
from the cheap banal even
within new aesthetic
achievements.Many
composers have
incidentally accepted the
banal. Mozart wrote Ein
musikalischer Spass [A
Musical Jape], a
deliberately amateurishly
miscarried sextet.
Beethoven's Bagatellen
op. 119 were rejected by
the publisher on the
grounds that few will
believe that this minor
work is by the famous
Beethoven. Mauricio Kagel
wrote, tongue in cheek,
so to speak, Marsche, um
den Sieg zu verfehlen
[Marches for being
Unvictorious], Ligeti
wrote Hungarian Rock; in
his Circus Polka
Stravinsky quoted and
distorted the famous, all
too popular Schubert
military march, composed
at the time for piano
duet. I myself do not
know, though, whether I
ought to rank my Marche
fatale alongside these
examples: I accept the
humor in daily life, the
more so as this daily
life for some of us is
not otherwise to be
borne. In music, I
mistrust it, considering
myself all the closer to
the profounder idea of
cheerfulness having
little to do with humor.
However: Isn't a march
with its compelling claim
to a collectively martial
or festive mood absurd, a
priori? Is it even music
at all? Can one march and
at the same time listen?
Eventually, I resolved to
take the absurd seriously
- perhaps bitterly
seriously - as a
debunking emblem of our
civilization that is
standing on the brink.
The way - seemingly
unstoppable - into the
black hole of all
debilitating demons: that
can become serene. My old
request of myself and my
music-creating
surroundings is to write
a non-music, whence the
familiar concept of music
is repeatedly re-defined
anew and differently, so
that derailed here -
perhaps? - in a
treacherous way, the
concert hall becomes the
place of mind-opening
adventures instead of a
refuge in illusory
security. How could that
happen? The rest is -
thinking.(Helmut
