680160910465. A
stunning and
heart-wrenching
composition based on the
Jewish folk son Shlof,
Mayn Kind. You can
hear the emotional
content pour out of this
piece written in memory
of an outstanding
orchestra director. The
piece beginnings with
original material to set
the tone, followed by
a clarinet solo on the
song. It then develops
through a variety of
different harmonic
presentation before
building to a nice key
change and climatic
moment. The piece ends as
it began, but with a more
hopeful tone. An amazing
piece. Sleep, My Child
was commissioned by the
Madison Middle School
Band and Orchestra in
Tampa, Florida, and is
dedicated to the memory
of their Director of
Orchestras Kevin Frye.
Director of Bands Chris
Shultz championed the
commissioning of this
piece to honor Kevin
after he passed away in
December 2016. Mr. Frye
was a beloved member of
the staff at Madison
Middle as well as the
music community of Tampa
and the state of
Florida. I was a
personal friend of
Kevin’s. We were
in several musical groups
together when we were
young that were formative
to both of our musical
careers. I also guest
conducted his Madison
Middle School Orchestra
several times over the
past four years. His
musicianship, teaching
skills and love for his
students were
exemplary.When taking on
the challenge of writing
a piece to honor
Kevin’s legacy,
Mr. Shultz and I decided
to try and include
several important aspects
of Kevin’s life
into the piece. Kevin was
proudly Jewish, a
fantastic trumpet player
and loved Jazz. With that
in mind, and after a lot
of research, a Jewish
folk song Shlof, Mayn
Kind was selected as the
basis for the piece, not
to be religious, but to
honor his faith and
heritage. Plus it is a
beautiful song, and I
felt the title reflected
the sentiment I was
looking to express, which
is of someone taking rest
after a long battle with
illness. Thus, a lullaby
seemed appropriate.I also
wanted to incorporate
Jazz into the piece, but
in a concert setting, so
you will hear as the
piece develops, the
harmonies of the folk
song expand into ones
found more commonly in
Jazz compositions. Not
in a far out way, but in
a subtle way to again
honor this part of his
life. For example the
climactic moment of the
piece at the fermata in
m. 57 is a Dbmaj9#11
chord. It appropriately
give the piece the angst
that I was looking for at
this moment in the piece,
while honoring the
importance of Jazz in
Kevin’s musical
life.The piece was also
conceived to include both
the Madison band and
orchestra in the
performance at the
premiere. I wanted the
pieces to work separately
by the band and
separately by the
orchestra, but I also
wanted them to be able to
play the piece together
to honor Kevin.The piece
begins with original
material designed to set
the mood of the piece
with a tempo/style
marking of pensive, but
also as material that I
used as connective
musical tissue between
statements of the folk
song. After this
introduction, the folk
song is presented by a
solo violin (or clarinet)
with orchestral
accompaniment in a simple
straight forward
presentation of the song.
This is followed by a
woodwind section
statement of the folk
song accompanied by muted
trumpets. During this
presentation the harmony
starts to expand with
more color notes in the
chords. The low brass are
added half way through
this statement to add
depth and lushness.The
introductory material
returns, but with some
angry hits in the lower
voices. This leads to a
full ensemble state of
new material that is used
to transition to the
climax of the piece, and
to build tension. After
the build, the piece
modulates to a shortened
statement of the folk
song with more advanced
harmonies and an active
counter line in the
violas, horns, saxes and
first clarinets to
further build the
tension. This tension
is released at the
fermata in m. 57, as
mentioned above. After a
thoughtful pause, the
piece concludes with a
completion of the folk
song again with a solo
violin (or clarinet)
followed by a return of
the introductory material
to tie the piece
together. The piece ends
hopeful, with a solo
trumpet (Kevin’s
instrument) that is
dissonant at first, but
then resolves as if to
say - everything will be
OK! It has been my
distinct honor to have
been asked to write this
piece in Kevin’s
memory! I hope that in
some small way the piece
helps to bring comfort to
his family, students,
colleagues and to all
those that knew
him!–Larry

680160905201. 9 x 12
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 | | |

680160910496. Takin
g its title from a poem
about grief and loss by
Chrissie Pinney, Live
On honors the life of
band director Linda Mann,
to whom the piece is
dedicated. The piece
begins with a pensive
intro before shifting to
a whimsical theme that
brings about happy
thoughts of a life
well-lived. After a
return to the poignant
opening material, the
music surges to a
triumphant conclusion
based on an augmented
version of the whimsical
theme. Live On was
commissioned by Diplomat
Middle School's staff,
faculty and students, in
Cape Coral, Florida, and
is dedicated to the
memory of their Director
of Bands, Linda Mann.
Director of Orchestras,
Roland Forti, championed
the commissioning of this
piece to honor the life
of Linda after her
untimely passing in
February of
2017. Linda
Mann’s impact on
the field of music
education was profound
and wide-reaching. She
was a beloved member of
the staff at Diplomat
Middle School, as well as
the music community of
Cape Coral and the state
of Florida. Linda was
highly respected
throughout the state,
serving as recent
past-president of the
Florida Bandmasters
Association.In discussing
the type of piece the
school wanted to honor
Ms. Mann, they indicated
the piece should
“depict
Linda’s
personality: dynamic,
sassy, yet thoughtful and
almost
mentor-like.†They
wanted a piece that was
upbeat, yet still had
moments that were
thoughtful, portraying
the grief that the
Diplomat Middle School
community has suffered
from the sudden loss of
such a beloved
teacher.After
contemplating their
thoughts, I did some
research to find
inspiration for the
piece. This led me to
poetry about grief and
loss. In time, I stumbled
upon a short, yet
poignant poem that I felt
perfectly depicted the
sentiment that I wanted
the piece to convey.Â
That poem is entitled
Live On by Chrissie
Pinney.Live OnNow as I
live onWithout youI hope
to keepThe pieces of
youThat I loved so
dearlyYour mannerismsAnd
compassionate
characterAnd smiles
through struggleSo that
youMay live on
too -Chrissie PinneyI
reached out to Ms.
Pinney, and she
graciously agreed to
allow me to quote her
powerful poem in these
notes. She expressed
that she was deeply
touched that her work
would inspire me to write
a piece in honor of Linda
Mann.The piece begins
with a poignant, pensive
opening section. The use
of the musical interval
of a tritone between the
first two openly voiced
chords are used to
represent the sadness we
all feel from this type
of loss. When I sat in
front of my piano and
started to work on this
piece, my hands seemed to
naturally and immediately
play these first two
chords, which set the
process in motion of
composing the piece.After
the somber opening, the
piece shifts to a
whimsical theme that I
hope brings about happy
thoughts of Linda and her
personality. It was also
my intent, however, to
include some musical
dissonance in the theme
that still reflected the
bittersweet loss at the
same time. The piece
develops into a secondary
theme that is a quasi
inversion of the main
fast theme. This
section is followed by a
return of the opening
material, with snippets
of the fast theme
intertwined, before the
piece builds to a
triumphant, augmented
presentation of the main
theme in a lush form to
complete the work.It is
my hope that in some
small way, this piece
will bring comfort to
those affected by the
loss of Linda Mann, and
that the music will allow
her memory to Live
On.–Larry

piece evokes a bygone era
when circuses and

Welcome to the Cirque de
L’étrange,
known in English as the
“Circus of the
Strange.†This
piece evokes a time of a
bygone era, a time when
circuses and carnivals
provided people from all
walks of life a chance to
see human and animal
oddities that were
sources of both delight
and horror. While many of
these sideshow
attractions were deemed
fraudulent, it did not
deter the crowds from
flocking to be shocked
and awed. I have always
held a special place in
my heart for the
showmanship of carnivals,
because my grandfather
dearly loved them. For
much of his life, he
worked at fairs and
carnivals selling cotton
candy and candy apples. A
large portion of my days
when growing up were
spent running around
fairgrounds and helping
my grandfather with his
stand. He imparted in me
a love for the cunning,
magic, and sheer joy that
only carnivals and
circuses can bring. In

L’étrange, I
sought to capture the the
mirthful, yet uncanny
mood of the carnivals
that I grew up exploring,
thus transporting you to
a different time.Cirque
de L'étrange is an
original concert march
written in standard march
form, but its sound is
anything but standard.
This piece is playable by
younger groups, as it is
a great way to expose
students to the march
form and style while not
sounding like your
typical march.Opening in
D minor, the piece
combines the playful feel
of a march and a macabre
tango. The second time
through the First Strain
(mm. 5-23), the upper
woodwinds and bells add a
second counter melody
based in D harmonic
minor, which heightens
the peculiar nature of
the piece. The Second
Strain (mm. 24-43) by
contrast, is a little
more upbeat, thus evoking
the magical ebullience of
a circus, which is
further highlighted by
the xylophone part. The
Second Strain ends in the
key of F major and sets
up the transition to the
Trio in the key of G
minor. The Trio (m. 44)
begins with the G
harmonic minor melody in
the clarinets and a
counter melody in the
bassoon and tenor
saxophone. The rest of
the woodwinds and bells
join in at m. 60 while
the percussion adds a
Gypsy-like feel with
tambourine and triangle.
At m. 76 the full band
joins in the macabre
parade with the trombones
and baritones harmonizing
the counter melody. The
conclusion of the march
has the upper woodwinds,
adding a second counter
melody complete with
trills to bring the march
to an exciting and
dramatic finish.As the
World’s Greatest
Showman, P.T. Barnum, a
man my grandfather
greatly admired, once
said “The noblest
art is that of making
others happy.†It
is my hope that through
this piece you will
experience the thrill,
delight, and fright that
only carnivals can bring

Welcome to the Cirque de
L’étrange,
known in English as the
“Circus of the
Strange.†This
piece evokes a time of a
bygone era, a time when
circuses and carnivals
provided people from all
walks of life a chance to
see human and animal
oddities that were
sources of both delight
and horror. While many of
these sideshow
attractions were deemed
fraudulent, it did not
deter the crowds from
flocking to be shocked
and awed. I have always
held a special place in
my heart for the
showmanship of carnivals,
because my grandfather
dearly loved them. For
much of his life, he
worked at fairs and
carnivals selling cotton
candy and candy apples. A
large portion of my days
when growing up were
spent running around
fairgrounds and helping
my grandfather with his
stand. He imparted in me
a love for the cunning,
magic, and sheer joy that
only carnivals and
circuses can bring. In
Cirque de
L’étrange, I
sought to capture the the
mirthful, yet uncanny
mood of the carnivals
that I grew up exploring,
thus transporting you to
