An excellent
example of Bach as a song
writer. Taken from a
volume of sacred songs
published in 1736, Bach
identifies it as an aria,
not as a chorale, and
must have thought of it
as a lyrical melody to be
sung in concert rather
than as four square
chorale.

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 .

By Brian Balmages. FJH
Starter Series. Very few
compositions offer the
opportunity to truly work
on musical expression
without the technical
demands often placed on
students. I am often
disappointed by the
number of directors who
avoid lyrical works
because their students
"can't play that kind of
music without sounding
bad . . " As a result, I
have written a short
lyrical piece that uses
only six notes in all
instruments and is of
moderate length for young
musicians. It is my
sincere hope that this
work will open the door
that many ensembles have
hesitated to pass
through. This piece is
the second of three
included in Midnight
Suite. Score for this

Avalonâ€â
€œLong Live the
King is a medieval
fantasy piece depicting
the Isle of Avalon where
the mystical sword
Excalibur of King Arthur
was forged. Composer
Tyler Arcari unearths a
solid piece for young
bands that is both bold
and dramatic. This piece
is sure to spark the
imagination of students
and give them strong
musical content with
which they can develop
their
musicianship. Program
Notes:Avalon–Long
live the King began its
journey as a commission
in honor of a dear friend
and mentor. David Riggs
is one of those band
directors that just seems
timeless. He is a
powerhouse with such a
stacked resume that it is
easy to forget that at
the end of the day he
enjoys taking long bike
rides with his lovely
wife and whittling a
piece of wood just as
much as being a band
director. He has touched
so many lives and
inspired so many people
in our field and beyond.
I was humbled, and
honored, when I was
contacted for the
commission. To David, I
hope that you one day
know how much you mean to
so many people, including
myself.About the
piece:The piece is
written with a little
homage to David’s
long tenure at Avalon
Middle school in Pace,
Florida. He was certainly
treated like a king as
the band director and
rightly so. It seemed
only fitting to add a
little medieval fantasy.
Avalon is a mystical
island in the world of
King Arthur where the
great sword Excalibur was
forged.The piece begins
lyrically with a slow
introduction with melodic
material. This melodic
motive is used throughout
with slight variations
depending on the
instrument voicing etc.
Care should be taken at
m. 10 that the Timpani
roll helps to bridge our
transition from an
exposed section to full
tutti. Care should be
taken so that the tempo
change at m. 19 is brisk
and avoids the low brass
turning into stomping.
Accessories like the
China cymbal and
tambourine can become
overpowering. I recommend
having students think of
these effects as
background in order to
make sure they
don’t POP out. The
dynamic changes at mm.
27-35 should be subito
similar to orchestral
dynamic changes. Avoid
unwritten crescendos in
this section. Measures
60–64 are a great
opportunity to teach
those unwritten dynamics
that make music so
enjoyable as we lead up
to the finale. It was
originally left blank for
some theatrics in the
premiere at
David’s retirement
concert so I know he
would enjoy adding some
Cholesterol as David
would say.Long Live the
King!

This stunning
composition by Robert W.
Smith is actually a full
symphony in smaller
proportions. The piece
was composed to
commemorate the Battle of
Bad Axe, the historic
last Indian-American
battle fought east of the
Mississippi River.
Written in four
descriptive movements
entitled Foreshadows,
Warriors, Carnage, and
Elegy, the piece evokes
powerful sounds and
imagery through
contemporary scoring
techniques while being
technically accessible to
most concert bands.
Unique percussion effects
combined with creative
scoring provide an
experience that your band
and audience will not
soon forget.

This work draws
its inspiration from the
Norwegian immigrant
experience in Minnesota.
Research into immigrant
diaries, local histories
and Norwegian folk tunes
proved fruitful in
preparing for the
composing of this work. A
four note theme is
developed melodically and
harmonically throughout
the work. The Norwegian
folk song, How Can You
Forget Old Norway?, is
set polytonally against a
cyclical ostinato
constructed from the four
note theme.
