Trained as
a violinist in his native
Tehran, composer Behzad
Ranjbaran eagerly drew
inspiration from the
traditional Persian
kamancheh and its
delicate, lyrical sound
when creating his
profoundly luscious and
brilliant Concerto for
Violin and Orchestra.
This work was completed
in 1994 and premiered in
England by Joshua Bell,
who also gave the first
American and Canadian
performances. The
Concerto for Violin and
Orchestra is the
recipient of the Rudolf
Nissim Award from ASCAP,
and it was supported in
part by a grant from The
National Endowment for
the Arts. The solo part
with a piano reduction as
well as a large score are
available on custom
print. For advanced
players. Duration:
31'. From my early
years studying violin at
the Tehran Music
Conservatory, I was
captivated by the sound
of the kamancheh, an
ancient Persian bowed
instrument considered one
of the ancestors to the
modern violin. I was
pleased when the National
Endowment for the Arts
awarded me a grant to
write a violin concerto
as it provided me with an
occasion to rekindle my
fascination with the
kamancheh. The notionof
writing a violin concerto
that would incorporate
the power and brilliance
of a modern instrument
with the delicate and
lyrical character of an
ancient one was simply
irresistible. Moreover,
the inspiration from the
kamancheh also informed
my use of Persian modes,
melodic, and rhythmic
figures.The notes of the
violin’s open
strings (G, D, A, E) also
influenced many of the
melodic and harmonic
elements of my violin
concerto. The opening
tutti is mostly based on
intervals of a perfect
4th and 5th. The primary
material for each
movement incorporates
notes of two of the open
strings of the violin,
creating a three-note
melodic motif as the
basis of themes:1 st
movement: A-D-A2nd
movement: D-G-D3rd
movement: E-A-EThe
overall structure of the
concerto is organic and
cyclical, as themes are
shared between the three
movements. For example,
the main musical idea of
the third movement is a
transformation of the
first movement’s
primary theme. While the
movements share similar
musical materials, each
one is definedby
distinguishing
characters. The first
movement is conflicted;
alternating between
sections of unabashed
lyricism and
unforgivingferocity. The
second movement is
haunting, mysterious, and
expressive with long
melodic lines that vary
continuously. It moves
through different moods
and characters including
a reimagining of a
traditional Persian
wedding tune played by
the orchestra (m. 98).
The third movement is
festive in character and
features much brilliant
passagework for the solo
violin. At the climax of
this movement, themes
fromthe previous
movements re-emerge
simultaneously with
greater intensity,
propelling the concerto
to an energetic finale.
The Concerto was composed
in 1994 and is dedicated
to Joshua Bell.

Ameri
can Visions is a
fast-paced and energetic
composition featuring
rousing brass fanfares,
lively woodwind motives,
and driving percussion.
It was initially inspired
to embody the sense of
American vigor and
patriotism. Musically,
the main motive at mm.
4-12 runs throughout the
piece and vacillates
between duple and triplet
rhythms. Players should
be mindful to
differentiate between the
two rhythms, so there is
clarity. Measure 39
represents a contrasting
section, and should be
thought of as dark and
warm sounding as
possible. I intended that
the section would
resemble the overall
timbre of orchestral
strings, and players
could think of that when
performing the piece.
Measure 55 presents a
triplet rhythmic motive
that must be precise in
timing and dynamics. At
m. 66, be sure that the
main melodic motive and
the tenor saxophone, low
brass, and chimes
countermelody can be
heard through the
ensemble's texture.
Measure 73 uses bell tone
articulations that build
to standard articulations
at m. 76. Thank you for

Written to
honor United Sound, this
piece recognizes that
special needs students do
not have to be identified
by their deficits -
rather, they can be
identified by their
superpowers. It may be a
student with Downs
Syndrome who is always
able to make everyone
smile, or a non-verbal
student who teaches
someone to listen in a
different way. Celebrate
these students with this
full-on cinema-style
superhero theme! The
ultimate in performance
flexibility, this piece
can be performed in three
different ensemble
settings: concert band,
traditional full
orchestra or band and
strings combined!
