inches. Key: F
major. When Hearts
Tremble is an emotion
packed piece dedicated to
musician friends lost all
to soon. This beautiful
composition by Brant
Karrick reflects on the
fragility of human
existence, joyous
memories of loved ones
and their effect on
everyone around them, and
maintaining hope for what
the future will hold when
all feels lost. This tour
de force piece perfectly
displays Karrick's
polished compositional
craft with impeccable
scoring, beautiful
melodic writing, and
exceptional
orchestrational
color. While the
day-to-day grind of our
lives can be filled with
overwhelming obligations,
goals and commitments, it
is sometimes very easy to
forget just how precious
and fragile life is . It
is so easy to get caught
up in our own personal
feelings and worries that
we sometimes don’t
realize and appreciate
the many blessings we
have, especially
friendships . On
Wednesday, November 18,
2015 the Jefferson High
School Band in Jefferson,
Georgia lost two of its
members to a fatal car
accident . The victims
were brothers . Music was
a constant part of their
lives, and the boys were
talented percussionists
in the marching band . To
help with the grieving
process the school and
community commissioned
this piece to celebrate
the lives of William and
Alex Trimble .As a
father, I cannot imagine
losing a child, let alone
two, and beginning this
piece was very difficult
as I felt extreme
anguish, especially for
the parents . But it was
decided the piece should
primarily reflect the
enthusiasm, youthful
spirits and positive
influence these two young
men demonstrated as they
were deeply loved by
their band mates,
community and family .
There are four main
themes, each representing
the feelings and emotions
that are certain to occur
after a loss of loved
ones . The first theme is
a short, introductory
fanfare, strong and bold,
to stand for courage . A
second dance-like melody
features a liltingly
mixed meter to portray a
youthful and carefree
innocence . This soon
changes into a third more
song-like, and stately
theme intended to provide
encouragement as we move
forward through life .The
middle of the piece
includes a soft
transition as two snare
drummers give voice to
the boys, allowing them
to thank their friends
and assuring them that it
will be okay . This moves
directly into a slow
melody introduced by the
saxophones (Alex, the
younger brother was also
a saxophonist) and is a
time for reflection and
allows for feelings of
sadness at losing beloved
friends . However, a
second statement of the
same theme, now at full
volume with a strong
percussion cadence,
intends to lift the
spirits and allows all
friends to unite in
joyous celebration of
life . Both the
enthusiastic dance theme
and stately lyrical theme
return, now in different
keys, and work their way
toward the highly
energetic burst of
glorious sound in the
short and wild coda .
When Hearts Tremble was
written to celebrate the
joys of youth and life,
and should remind us that
our friends and loved
ones are precious, and we
should live each day to
bring more joy into the
world and into the lives
of others . $140.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

NotesThere is no possible
way I could compose a
piece of music worthy of
the memory of my close
friend, Dr. David Kirby,
who died very suddenly at
an early age. Neither
could I write a piece
that could come close to
reflecting his kind
spirit, wit, personality
or talent. In fact, it
was almost impossible for
me to write anything at
all. My own grief and the
stages of my
grief kept getting in
the way. I ended up with
a setting of the
hymn-tune, Resignation.
Resigned. To the fact
that he is no longer
with us. I know he is
in a better place, but we
are not. We miss him very
much. And so, My Shepherd
Will Supply My Need seems
to speak to those of us
he left behind. I
apologize if this piece
does not reflect your
special feelings for him
or help you celebrate his
moving on. Unfortunately,
I could only put down
what I have come to
accept and hope in some
way it may speak to any
of you that knew him or
to others of you who have
also lost a close friend.
My Shepherd Will Supply
My Need. That is my
hope and my hope for
you.Although technically
very easy, this
composition requires a
maturity of musicianship
to be performed properly.
The Bb contrabass
clarinet part is integral
to the composition, but
there are cues in the
tuba part if you need
them. Â Make sure you
bring horns to the fore
at m. 53 and the low
brass at m. 59 so the
melody can be heard
without effort.
Exaggerate dynamics to
bring more emotion to the
piece. Be careful not to
diminuendo too soon near
the end or it will be
difficult to diminish
even further at the very
end, where the lone
clarinetist holds over a
couple of measures,
fading into nothing. I
hope your students will
enjoy this piece and take
from it a greater
appreciation for the way
making music can express
feelings. $13.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

680160910014. Tarta
n Tapestries is an
original piece that sets
out to emulate Scottish
folk music. Composer
Larry Clark has created a
concert overture in
triple meter to capture
the essence of music from
Scotland. After a lilting
first section, lush
and beautiful moments
weave a tapestry of
sounds with the lyrical,
middle section of the
piece. There is an
optional part for
bagpipes, and an optional
ending should you chose
to use this instrument as
part of the piece. Alert
your contest music
committee about this
strong new piece for
advancing
groups. Tartan
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
