Pay
tribute to your school
with this imaginative
musical portrait of the
school day as viewed by
typical students through
the inspired genius of
composer Richard Meyer.
Six creative musical
interludes portray the
subjects of the school
day (History, Math,
English, Physical
Education, Science, and
Orchestra), each
introduced with a short
poem read by a narrator.
The delightful poems were
written by middle-school
students and offer
amusing and enlightening
insights into their
encounters with the
wonders (and perils) of
education. The subjects
are linked together by
brief and hectic musical
passing periods based on

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.
Remember Me, remember me!
My spirit is wagging a
grateful tail. Published

Merilainen's second
orchestral concerto (the
first dates from the
1950's) is a musical
study of the concept of
time. The strings provide
an element of stasis,
while other orchestral
sections are used as
active blocks. The
extensive percussion
section is used to
discreetly mark the
passing of time and plays
on the edge of silence.
The work's ending is
bound together by a
magical F sharp
pedal-point in the
horns.

Using all

orchestra, this charming
Spanish-flavored piece
features melodic material
for every instrument. Two
contrasting tunes, one
for high voices and one
for low, are introduced

Including all the basic

rhythms, this is a

meter. Some fun

accompaniment, a violin
solo, and a duet for
first stand violins add

this selection in a genre

Written in
2010 for the Royal
Liverpool Philharmonic,
Wigglesworth's
nine-minute work explores
the idea of perpetuum
mobile (continuous
movement) in seven
connected, miniature
inventions. A regular
pulse forms the work's
core, with elaborations
of the central musical
idea shifting constantly
around it in jagged
rhythms and sumptuous
orchestration. The
composer writes, The
seven sections can very
briefly be described
thus: 1) an active,
miniature 'theme and
variations'; 2) the
juxtaposition of various
fragmentary two-part
inventions; 3) a tremolo
string ostinato with
woodwind interjections,
building towards the
first climax; 4) an
ostinato passing between
horns and muted trumpets
together with a dialogue
for high woodwind and low
strings; 5) a very slow
canon for string
harmonics and pizzicato
double basses; 6) a fast,
one-part invention
beginning with solo
piccolo, and gradually
leading to the second
climax; 7) chorale.This
is a lively orchestral
miniature which gives the
impression of a
kaleidoscope, with short
musical ideas cutting
across each other in
quick succession.

Mojzisova, Olga /
Macdonald, Hugh.
In
late September 1874,
shortly after losing his
hearing, Smetana started
work on
“VyÅ¡ehradâ€
, the first symphonic
poem in what would become
a six-part cycle with the
title “Má
vlast†(My
Country). It tells the
eventful history of this
fort in
Prague.
“Vy
¡ehrad†was
published by Urbánek
together with
“Vltava†(The
Moldau), the next part in
the cycle, in a version
for piano duet in
December 1879. The full
score and parts,
proofread by the
composer, followed in
February 1880. Hugh
Macdonald has corrected
many errors in this first
edition. He draws on the
autograph and first print
of the orchestral version
and also refers to the
autograph and printed
piano duet
version.

It was only
shortly after the 5th
Symphony that Beethoven
completed the Pastoral
Symphony. The two formed
a complementary work
pair, consigned together
to a patron in June 1808,
publicly premiered in
Vienna in December 1808,
and published by
Breitkopf & Hartel in the
spring of 1809. During
this period, Beethoven
revised the symphony
several times. Only in
the course of preparing
for publication did
Beethoven send Breitkopf
& Hartel a letter,
together with a list of
corrections, disclosing
the title that he
desired, Pastoral
Symphony or recollections
of country life. More an
expression of feeling
than painting. The
Pastoral with its
tone-painting elements
gives evidence of
Beethoven's closeness to
nature, characterizing in
five movements his
various experiences and
images of nature. Based
on the music text of the
Beethoven Complete
Edition, the new
performance material of
this recently published
edition presents the
current, authoritative
status of Beethoven
research for this
work.

A
perfect way to finish off
a Christmas concert.
Heribert Breuer, founder
and conductor of the
Berlin Bach Academy,
conceived this
four-minute piece as a
final farewell to follow
performances of the
Christmas Oratorio.
Alternatively it can
easily be programmed
together with other
Christmas pieces with
similar
scoring.
The
Sicilian folk tune O
sanctissima gradually
emerges from a sustained
organ pedal point in the
orchestra. This melody
seems familiar to the
listeners ... and then
the mystery is solved:
hidden in the alto part
can be heard the first
verse of the German carol
O du fröhliche! The
second verse is given
over to the sopranos, and
the audience is invited
to sing along in the
third verse. After a
brief coda all the
performers wish the
audience “Merry
Christmas!â€
