Dan Welcher’s most enduringly and frequently played orchestral work, Prairie Light is a fascinating musical companion to three of Georgia O’Keeffe’s most unusual paintings, Light Coming on the Plains, Canyon with Crows, and Starlight Night. This work is ideal for performances using visual projections of the paintings, and is frequently programmed for subscription concerts as well as those for educational settings. Duration: 14’ Parts available on rental.
This work for full orchestra was inspired by three paintings of the noted Americanartist Georgia O’Keeffe. These three watercolors were done in 1917 while the artist was living in Canyon, Texas (near Amarillo), and deal primarily with color and shape. Consequently, the music is primarily concerned with broad lines and shapes rather than rhythms, with subtle washes of color rather than constant harmonic movement, and with arching melody instead of linear counterpoint.The first movement, Light Coming on the Plains, is an elliptical-shaped painting, deep blue to indigo with a “horizon” at the bottom that seems flat and unchanging. The sun hasn’t risen yet, although it does in the course of this movement, but it seems instead to be providing light from behind the canvas. The music is unmoving in terms of rhythm or harmony (although there is a modulation midway through), a color-infused mantra of sound that is almost Eastern.At the height of the sun, we proceed to the second movement, entitled Canyon with Crows. The canyon is red-orange, with black crows circling above friendly unfolding hills. The music is gentle but lively and more rhythmic, with the birds represented by solo oboe, clarinet, and sometimes flute. Halfway through, the brass have a chorale version of the opening motive, played very slowly, over the unending triplets of woodwinds and strings. At the end of the movement, the birds return for a duo-cadenza, accompanied by the dying rays of the sun in muted strings and the ongoing triplets of the solo quartet.The stage is set for the final movement, Starlight Night. In O’Keeffe’s painting, the stars are represented by regularly-spaced rectangles of bright pale yellow on a blue-black sky, with the same shape to the field of vision and the horizon that is found in Light Coming on the Plains. The stars become audible: harp, celesta, glockenspiel, and string pizzicati all lend a sparkle while a solo flute introduces a slowly unfolding theme. After this theme has been heard twice and the sky has begun to really brighten, there is a sudden interruption: a xylophone and a piano begin another “mantra” in brittle staccato chords. This is the same mechanical eternity as O’Keeffe’s regularly-spaced square stars, and it continues on its own as the night progresses. The music builds and grows as the moon rises and arcs, then falls as the pre-dawn light that opened the work returns to bring it to a close. Acycle of light, changing with the movements of sun, moon, and stars, appearing differently from various points of view

SKU: BT.GOB-000729-130

Composed by William Vean. Score Only. 24 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000729-130. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000729-130).

In this composition William Vean takes you on a journey through the fascinating and exciting world of animals. Apart from it being a composition filled with special effects, Animal Kingdom contains many educational elements, such as playing inswing (triplets feeling), chromatics, flutter tonguing, gypsy tuning, varying keys, and, of course, dynamics and articulation. The melodic lines occur in all four voices, as well as in all percussion parts, providing each musician with theopportunity to play a solo or to accompany.
Highly recommended for your youth band!

William Vean is an educational composer. He knows how to musically shape the special elements from our daily lives. His music is therefore veryexpressive, containing creative solutions to possible problems. Special ways of playing make his music particularly interesting for the winds, but the percussion section is also featured in his special effects.

The world of the animalsalways plays on ones imagination. In Animal Kingdom, William Vean has portrayed a number of animals in a special manner:

Kevin Kangaroo - The jumping character of this animal can be heard in different voices. The swing style alsoemphasizes the characteristic movements of the kangaroo. Playing in swing style can be practised by using scales.

Eddy Elephant - For some of his smaller fellow fauna friends this can be quite an ordeal, but for Eduard (Eddy for friendsand intimates) it is his daily walk.

Baldrick Bat - Baldrick the Bat is a mysterious character. This can be heard in the fast moving valves and keys, accompanied by special effects in the percussion section.

Curtis Camel - Curtisthe Camel trudges across the desert, feeling bored. The idea that the horizon will never change does not affect him anymore. He has accepted his fate. The distinctive tones from the gypsy scale provide the suitable oriental sounds.

BettyButterfly - Butterfly Betty elegantly, and without worries, flutters from flower to flower in the garden. Her motto: Carpe Diem (Seize the Day). Betty is a one-day butterfly.

Marvin Monkey - A swing monkey stirs up the feelings. Evenmembers of the orchestra will look like real monkeys. How about your audience?

Each part has its own difficulties and challenges.
Important in the first part is playing in swing (triplets feeling). This can be practised usingscales.
In the second part ensemble playing and balance are important.
In Baldrick additional information on the effects that have to be played might be useful. New sounds are, of course, welcome.
Curtis the Camel introduces thegypsy scale. Additional explanation of the use of the scale might be useful. Key changes are interesting in this part. A slight accent on the first beat of the bar will add to the charm of this part.
Marvin the Monkey brings back the swingrhythm that was introduced in the first part, alternated by a straight part with attention to chromatics and articulation.

A story teller will definitely be an asset when performing this composition.

Willi am Vean neemt u mee in de fascinerende en verrassende wereld van het dierenrijk.
Naast leuke speelmuziek vol ''special effects'', is deze compositie zeer educatief van opzet.
Als interessant inhoudelijke zaken komenonder andere aan de orde - het in swing spelen (triolen feeling), chromatiek, flatterzunge, zigeunertoonsoort, afwisselende maatsoorten en natuurlijk dynamiek en articulatie.
Tevens lopen de melodielijnen zowel door alle 4 destemmen als alle percussie partijen, zodat iedere muzikant de gelegenheid krijgt om te soleren dan wel te begeleiden.
Een aanrader voor uw jeugdorkest!

De dierenwereld spreekt muzikaal gezien altijd tot de verbeelding.William Vean heeft op bijzondere wijze een aantal dieren neergezet.
De componist weet op een bijzondere wijze elementen uit het dagelijkse leven muzikaal vorm te geven. Zijn muziek is daarom erg beeldend, de problemen aanwijsbaarmaar de oplossingen zijn creatief.
Voor blazers bijzonder interessant door de bijzondere speelmanieren maar het slagwerk is ook bedeeld met een aantal 'special effects'.

Kevin Kangaroo - Het springerige karakterwordt door verschillende stemmen neergezet. De swingende speelstijl benadrukt de karakteristieke bewegingen van de kangoeroe. Let op de specifieke swingstijl. Heel goed te oefenen met toonladders.

Eddy Elephant - Voor sommigekleinere faunagenoten elke keer weer een beproeving maar voor Eduard (Eddy voor vrienden en intimi) is dit zijn dagelijkse wandelingetje. Giro 224544 t.b.v. de geleden schade.

Baldrick Bat - De vleermuis Baldrick is eenmysterieus type. Dat mysterieuze aspect wordt auditief weergegeven door het snel indrukken van ventielen en kleppen, ondersteund door slagwerkeffecten.

Curtis Camel - De kameel Curtis hobbelt verveeld door de woestijn.

Band Time Expert by Jacob de Haan now seeks to enlarge training bands musical horizons by increasing the possible combinations of instruments. This publication is suitable for musicians in their second year of orchestral playing and contains pieces of widely varying styles. The pieces are comparable in difficulty to the second volume of the method Look, Listen and Learn. The compositions are mostly writing in four part harmony but some are given extra harmonic colour to bring balance to the complete ensemble.

Als vervolg op Band Time Starter heeft componist Jacob de Haan met Band Time Expert een tweede speelboek voor jeugdorkesten afgeleverd. Dit kan parralel aan het tweede deel van Horen, Lezen & Spelen worden gebruikt,maar in principe kunnen alle iets gevorderde leerlingen met Band Time Expert eenvoudig in een orkest meespelen. Met de tien afwisselende drie- en vierstemmige stukken in dit boek kunnen ze opnieuw ervaren hoeveel mogelijkhedener zijn om samen te musiceren. Met een duidelijke uitleg over de optimale benutting van Band Time Expert en de beste toepassing van de instrumentatie in uw specifieke bezetting. Op de los verkrijgbare cd worden stukkendoor een harmonieorkest voorgespeeld, zodat leerlingen thuis zelf kunnen luisteren en meespelen. Daarmee word studeren uiteraard een stuk leuker!

Nach BAND TIME Starter, das jungen Musikern schon nach wenigen Unterrichtsstunden ein Orchestererlebnis ermoglicht, hat der Komponist Jacob de Haan mit BAND TIME Expert eine Fortsetzung der erfolgreichen Spielbucher geliefert. Die Spielbucher eignen sich fur das zweite Jahr im Vor- oder Jugendblasorchester und konnen parallel zum zweiten Teil der Instrumentalschule Horen, lesen & spielen verwendet werden. Mit den zehn phantasievollen und abwechslungsreichen Stucken konnen die Schuler einmal mehr die Erfahrung machen, wie viele Moglichkeiten es gibt, gemeinsam zu musizieren. Die Stucke sind drei- und vierstimmig gesetzt und konnen ab einer minimalenBlasorchesterbes etzung gespielt werden. Eine Anleitung fur die optimale Handhabung und Besetzungsweisen wird von Jacob de Haan mitgeliefert. Passend zu der Reihe ist eine CD erhaltlich, mit deren Unterstutzung die Schuler zu Hause mit richtiger Orchesterbegleitung spielen konnen. So wird das Orchestererlebnis auch zu Hause moglich!

A heartfelt piece that is dedicated to the memory of a lost student, the music is both emotional and beautiful. It is meant to depict the life of the person lost, not the sadness. In typical Larry Clark fashion, the piece has memorable melodies, interesting lush harmonies and is well-scored. This will be a great vehicle to improve the musicianship of your students.
Heartstrings began its life as the main musical material for a piece I wrote called Forever Climbing. It was a concert band work that was commissioned by the Boulder Creek High School Band under the direction of James O'Haloran. It was dedicated to the memory of Trevor Crouse who died tragically in a climbing accident. When Ifinished that piece, I just knew that I was not finished with the main musical ideas and decided it would work very nicely for strings.Certainly in the face of losing a loved one it would pull on your heartstrings, but when I was composing this piece I also wanted to bring about the love that we have for our close friends and family members. I hope that you will hear love in the piece along with a touch of sadness. Certain harmonic choices and dissonances in the melody to the harmonies were used to bring about this emotional feeling. I take great pride in writing music for young people that stretches their musicianship. When I work with students, I ask them to put their emotions into the music stretch phrasing, push lines,and giving things shape; make the music more than what is on the page. Bring it to life and make the audience feel something with their performance. It is my sincere hope that it will inspire them to do so and expand their musical horizons. I continue to honor the memory of Trevor and the memory of those loved ones I have lost as well.It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to write this piece. I hope you and your students enjoy it and find it useful for your program.—Larry ClarkLakeland, FL 2016.

Kalei doscope Sky is inspired by the breathtaking pastime of hot-air ballooning and the glorious festivals around the world that honor the practice. A sky full of colorful spheres elegantly floating at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, International Balloon Festival of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, Mondial Air Ballons and more draw thousands of people to witness awe-inspiring scenes full of passionate balloonists. Traditional hot-air balloons mix with creatively designed balloons to thrill the tens of thousands of spectators below. While I personally am not a person who dreams of taking my own flight--heights are not my thing--I have to marvel at how gently and easily these vessels float among the clouds. It truly is an image of exquisite freedom. This piece reflects the view and experience of the onlooker taking in an elegantly shifting scene reminiscent of kaleidoscope patterns. Spectators like me can appreciate the beauty and vibrancy associated with a horizon full of adventurous balloonists and their wondrous aircrafts. Kaleidoscope Sky starts in a triumphant and celebratory fashion and continues to conjure images reminiscent of the wide variety of soaring colors on display at a hot-air balloon event. Ultimately, the piece appropriately concludes with a suspenseful, yet graceful, run to the finish line. Melodic lines should soar with attention being paid to phrase markings and assigned articulations. Encourage musicians to allow room for the melodic material to be heard in thicker textures where supporting harmonies are often rhythmic in nature. These harmonies should support, and not cloud the melodies. The meter changes should sound effortless, and the continuous figures in the percussion will help to achieve this effect. The snare drum, in particular, should bring accented notes to the foreground while maintaining a steady textural effect with non-accented notes as a rhythmic background. This will go a long way in finding a cohesive subdivision and ensemble pulse.

These harmonies should support, and not cloud the melodies. The meter changes should sound effortless, and the continuous figures in the percussion will help to achieve this effect. The snare drum, in particular, should bring accented notes to the foreground while maintaining a steady textural effect with non-accented notes as a rhythmic background. This will go a long way in finding a cohesive subdivision and ensemble pulse.
Kaleidoscope Sky is inspired by the breathtaking pastime of hot-air ballooning and the glorious festivals around the world that honor the practice. A sky full of colorful spheres elegantly floating at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, International Balloon Festival of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, Mondial Air Ballons and more draw thousands of people to witness awe-inspiring scenes full of passionate balloonists. Traditional hot-air balloons mix with creatively designed balloons to thrill the tens of thousands of spectators below. While I personally am not a person who dreams of taking my own flight—heights are not my thing—I have to marvel at how gently and easily these vessels float among the clouds. It truly is an image of exquisite freedom. This piece reflects the view and experience of the onlooker taking in an elegantly shifting scene reminiscent of kaleidoscope patterns. Spectators like me can appreciate the beauty and vibrancy associated with a horizon full of adventurous balloonists and their wondrous aircrafts. Kaleidoscope Sky starts in a triumphant and celebratory fashion and continues to conjure images reminiscent of the wide variety of soaring colors on display at a hot-air balloon event. Ultimately, the piece appropriately concludes with a suspenseful, yet graceful, run to the finish line.Melodic lines should “soar” with attention being paid to phrase markings and assigned articulations.

The title of Esa Pietilä’s solo harpsichord work Fata morgana (2019) refers to a special weather con-dition, which creates illusory effect of mirage-like fairy castle-like monuments in the horizon of the sea. The piece brings forth the frightening bass sonority on double manual, full size harpsichord and the brightness on the treble and makes a dialogue out of them. “I got fasci-nated by the sonority, character and power of the low register sound on the instrument, es-pecially when used in non-traditional way and found some kind of especially delightful and outlandish cluster-mud and airy glimmering things which seem to play together, the com-poser describes. The challenges of the piece lie in rhythmical ideas, which are surprisingly multi-faceted and in the short, improvised section.

Duration: c. 6’

Esa Pietilän soolo-cembalolle tehdyn sävellyksen otsikko Fata morgana (2019) viittaa erityisen sääil-miön aiheuttamaan illusatoriseen kangastuksen tapaiseen efektiin, joka tuo esiin satulinnojen kaltaisten rakennelmien ilmaantumisen meren horisonttiin. Sävellys tuo esiin cembalon bas-sorekisterin pelottavuuden sekä diskantin kirkkauden ja käy niillä vuoropuhelua. Haltioiduin cembalon alarekisterin erityisestä soinnista, karakteerista ja voimasta, jos sitä käyttää hyvinkin ei-perinteisesti. Löysin myös erityisen hauskasti soivaa klusteri-mutaa ja ilmavaa kimallusta, jotka sointuvat yhteen, Pietilä kuvaa sävellystään. Kappaleen haasteena ovat rytmisesti yllät-tävät ja monitahoiset ideat sekä lyhyt improvisaatiojakso.

I suppose as artists we are always searching for metaphors that speak directly to the musics we perform to guide us and inspire. The music on this CD pushes our boundaries of what could be considered normal music making and instead moves us into sound worlds that expand what a choral ensemble can produce. This recording, which documents an almost three-year exploration into improvisation in various forms, contains works for choral ensembles that create new sound worlds in and of themselves. We are happy to present to the world a young composer from our midst, Sam Scheibe. His virtuous setting of O magnum mysterium introduces a gifted and deeply insightful compositional voice. Sanctitude is an expansive improvisation combining choir, soprano saxophone, Gregorian chant, Arabic chant, and melodies into a sound world that I hope will document the frontier of a new world of choral performance. The techniques employed in this improvisation are documented in the new text Discovering Choral Improvisation through Chant (GIA, 2020). The CD opens with a three-movement work, The Dreams That Remain by Thomas LaVoy, yet another composer from the Williamson Voices family who has adapted the sound world of this ensemble into a work of beauty and honesty. All of the works on this CD create Auroras of their own that touch us deeply and cover our senses with streamers of light. I thank my friend, James Whitbourn, for conducting on three of the tracks and for crafting the Sanctitude improvisation. Hopefully the sounds on this CD will, as Makoto Fujimara says, bring you outside of yourself, and pull you to look at the [life's] horizon and to see beyond. — James Jordan  .

The heat of the day ebbs away as the sun slowly dips from view over the western horizon. A dazzling display of warm hues, vibrant yellows, glowing oranges and burning reds, lights up the evening before cooling to calm blues, dark, cool purples andfinally the black of night. Such are the unforgettable sunsets that inspired Jan de Haan to write this piece.

De hitte van overdag ebt weg terwijl de zon in het westen langzaam achter de horizon verdwijnt. Een schitterend schouwspel van warme schakeringen - levendig geel, gloedvol oranje en vurig rood - verlicht nog even de avond, waarna koele kleuren volgenmet serene tinten blauw, donkere nuances van paars en ten slotte het zwart van de nacht. Fraaie zonsondergangen als deze vormden voor Jan de Haan de inspiratie tot het schrijven van dit sfeervolle werk voor blaasinstrument en piano.

Die Hitze des Tages verebbt, während die Sonne langsam am westlichen Horizont versinkt. Ein schillernder Reigen warmer Farben aus pulsierendem Gelb, glühendem Orange und brennendem Rot erhellt den Abendhimmel, bevor ruhige Blautöne, kühle Lilaschattierungen und schlie�lich die Schwärze der Nacht Abkühlung bringen. Solcheunvergesslichen Sonnenuntergänge inspirieren Jan de Haan zur Komposition dieses Stückes für diverse Blasinstrumente und Klavierbegleitungen.

La chaleur de la journée sâ??atténue peu peu alors que le soleil plonge lentement derrière lâ??horizon. Un éblouissant spectacle met en scène des jaunes vibrants, des oranges lumineux et des rouges br lants qui illuminent le début de soirée alors quedéj , apparaissent les premières nuances bleutées et pourpres, synonymes de fraîcheur. Ces inoubliables couchers de soleil ont inspiré Jan de Haan lorsquâ??il a composé cette pièce pour instrument vent diverses et piano.

Il calore del giorno si stempera mentre il sole scompare lentamente all`orizzonte. Una brillante combinazione di calde tonalit di giallo vibrante, arancio luccicante e rosso incandescente riscalda la sera. Colori che lasciano il passo a un blu cherilassa, a rinfrescanti tonalit del viola, e infine al nero della notte. Questi sono i tramonti indimenticabili che hanno ispirato Jan de Haan nel scirvere questo brano per diversi strumenti a fiati e pianoforte.
