Remains Within was
commissioned by and
composed for the Mount
Nittany Middle School 7th
and 8th Grade Concert
Bands. Having heard the
students of Mount Nittany
perform another work of
mine, I was very excited
when their director,
Johanna Steinbacher,
approached me about
writing a piece
specifically for them. I
knew right away that I
wanted to write something
that would tie in with
their non-music
curriculum in some way,
but I wasn't exactly sure
how, or what. Johanna
talked to some of her
students and learned
that, in 7th grade, the
students spend a good
deal of time studying
mythology in their
English class. In
particular, two clarinet
students mentioned how
much they enjoyed the
story of Pandora. As
such, I decided to use
that story as the basis
of this composition. Hope
Remains Within doesn't
attempt to re-tell the
story, event by event, in
musical terms. Instead,
my goal was to address
what seems to be one of
the central issues of the
Pandora myth. Though
there are some
variations, we probably
all know the basics as
told by the ancient Greek
poet Hesiod. Zeus decides
to punish Prometheus for
stealing fire from heaven
and giving it to humans.
He and the other gods
create Pandora, a
beautiful and deceitful
woman, and they give her
to Prometheus's brother
Epimetheus as a bride.
Pandora is herself given
a jar (according to many
sources, jar seems to be
a more accurate
translation for what we
commonly call Pandora's
box) which contained
numerous evils, diseases,
and other pains. Out of
curiosity, Pandora opens
the jar and releases all
of these evils into the
world. But one thing
remains in the jar: hope.
The issue of hope seems
to be one of the big
interpretive questions of
the Pandora myth. Why
does hope remain within
the jar? Why doesn't it
come out of the jar to
help humanity? Is hope
being held on a pedestal
of some sort? Is hope
deliberately withheld
from humanity? Why was
hope in the jar with all
those evils in the first
place? I'm not enough of
a mythological scholar to
claim to have definitive
answers to those
questions, but these are
the questions that I've
tried to engage from a
musical perspective in
Hope Remains Within. I
encourage the students
and listeners to consider
their own ideas of what
hope is, and where you
can find your own hope
when needed. Musically,
Hope Remains Within draws
one of its main themes
from the Prometheus
Symphony by Alexander
Skryabin (Scriabin). The
note sequence F-D-Gb -F,
heard near Hope's
beginning played by alto
saxophones and chimes,
comes from the opening
measures of Skyrabin's
work. Given the important
role that Prometheus
plays in the Pandora
myth, this seemed like an
appropriate musical
gesture to quote. This
Prometheus motive is
varied throughout the
course of the piece, and
even provides closure at
the end, recast in a
major key. Additionally,
I have tried to involve a
manageable amount of
chromaticism in this
piece. I have worked from
the key of Bb major, no
doubt familiar to every
student who has ever
played an instrument in a
band. But I have added
three extra notes: Db,
Gb, and Ab, which are
drawn from the key of Bb
minor. During the piece's
slow opening, I have
allowed these minor key
pitches to mingle freely
within the Bb major
tonality, adding extra
color and (I hope!)
beauty. As the piece
progresses, though, the
tempo increases, and we
lose sense of the Bb
major key entirely, and
these extra notes play a
more important role. But
finally, Bb major returns
triumphantly and all the
extra notes are gone,
except for a brief memory
near the very end. (Ok,
there are a couple of
E-naturals that sneak in
there along the way. I
couldn't
resist.). Hope Remains

inches. Mercury -
the Roman god of
financial gain, commerce,
travelers, boundaries,
luck, trickery,
merchants, and thieves. A
popular deity in Roman
culture, he was instantly
recognized by his unique
winged shoes (talaria)
and hat (petasos). With
its close proximity to
the sun and faster orbit
than all other planets,
the Romans named this
small celestial body
after the swift-winged
messenger of their
culture. It is not
surprising that in
Holst's major orchestral
suite The Planets that
Mercury utilizes such
light and swift themes.
There is some duality to
the title of the work.
Part of it involves my
impression of what a
playful chase of the
winged messenger sounds
like. The other part is
the opening motif chasing
two themes of Holst
around the rest of the
work. It was only after
developing the first few
ideas that I recognized
some of the commonalities
with some of those same
themes from Holst's
orchestral work. There
are several quotations
from that famous piece by
Holst (notably as both
are stated successively
at mm. 13-20). The idea
of someone having to
chase the Winged
Messenger struck me as a
unique title around which
to craft a work. One of
my core beliefs about
music is that it can be
imbued with meaning by a
composer, and as the
sonic story unfolds an
ensemble, director, and
audience members can draw
out their own meaning
from the experience. Who
exactly is chasing
Mercury? I leave that up
to the wonderfully
creative minds of the
young ladies and
gentlemen who have the
opportunity to bring this
work to life. The
opportunity to compose
music and allow student
musicians to give this
piece new life and draw
out different meanings is
a humbling experience.
Rehearsal Notes and
Suggestions As stated
earlier, the opening
motif (a range of a
seventh) comes back
frequently in the work in
a variety of settings and
textures. Throughout the
work, it is important for
students to recognize the
two themes from Holst
when they are present in
the sound canvas. If the
solos (clarinet and alto
saxophone) are utilized,
the supporting parts
around and underneath
those lines must be
sensitive and play in
such a way to properly
balance those parts.
There are number of muted
sections for the trumpet
section, and I would
advocate for all trumpets
acquiring the same mute
to contribute to unity in
timbre. The bold fanfare
sections (the first
occurs at m. 37) must be
presented with a unified
articulation style. As
the texture intensifies
prior to m. 169, it is
crucial for the ensemble
to play within themselves
and exercise musical
courtesy to allow all
voices to be heard as
they arrive at m. 181. My
thanks in advance for

small celestial body
after the swift-winged
messenger of their
culture. It is not
surprising that in
Holst’s major
orchestral suite The
Planets that Mercury
utilizes such light and
swift themes.There is
some duality to the title
of the work. Part of it
involves my impression of
what a playful chase of
the winged messenger
sounds like. The other
part is the opening motif
chasing two themes of
Holst around the rest of
the work. It was only
after developing the
first few ideas that I
recognized some of the
commonalities with some
of those same themes from
Holst’s orchestral
work. There are several
quotations from that
famous piece by Holst
(notably as both are
stated successively at
mm. 13–20). The
idea of someone having to
chase the Winged
Messenger struck me as a
unique title around which
to craft a work.One of my
core beliefs about music
is that it can be imbued
with meaning by a
composer, and as the
sonic story unfolds an
ensemble, director, and
audience members can draw
out their own meaning
from the experience. Who
exactly is chasing
Mercury? I leave that up
to the wonderfully
creative minds of the
young ladies and
gentlemen who have the
opportunity to bring this
work to life. The
opportunity to compose
music and allow student
musicians to give this
piece new life and draw
out different meanings is
a humbling
experience.Rehearsal
Notes and SuggestionsAs
stated earlier, the
opening motif (a range of
a seventh) comes back
frequently in the work in
a variety of settings and
textures. Throughout the
work, it is important for
students to recognize the
two themes from Holst
when they are present in
the sound canvas. If the
solos (clarinet and alto
saxophone) are utilized,
the supporting parts
around and underneath
those lines must be
sensitive and play in
such a way to properly
balance those parts.
There are number of muted
sections for the trumpet
section, and I would
advocate for all trumpets
acquiring the same mute
to contribute to unity in
timbre. The bold fanfare
sections (the first
occurs at m. 37) must be
presented with a unified
articulation style. As
the texture intensifies
prior to m. 169, it is
crucial for the ensemble
to play within themselves
and exercise musical
courtesy to allow all
voices to be heard as
they arrive at m. 181. My
thanks in advance for
your support of this
music, and I wish you
well as you and your
ensemble begin Chasing
Mercury! $14.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

major angular thematic
material (a three note
motive) consists of big
leaps in interval (a
perfect fourth downward

upward, first introduced
by the violin solo in
measures 27-29). Except
for the cadenzas which
stand at the middle
(Rehearsal E, measure
127) and the two ends of
the piece as a frame, the
virtuosic violin solo
line is always
accompanied by the ever
moving and growing
textures in the

Opera reciting tune, and
the fingerings to produce
sliding tones in the
performance of the
Chinese fiddle erhu are
also borrowed in the
writing and the
performing of the western
instruments. The musical
imagination of the violin
concerto came from an
ancient Chinese poem with
the same title, written
by Du Fu (712-770) in
Tang Dynasty. Happy Rain
on a Spring Night by Du
Fu (712-770 in Tang
Dynasty) Happy rain comes
in time, When spring is
in its prime. With night
breeze it will fall, And
quietly moisten all.
Clouds darken wild roads,
Light brightens a little
boat. Saturated at dawn,
With flowers blooming the
town. (English
translation by Chen Yi
from the original poem in
Chinese) The following is
the poem in its original
Chinese form, and the
detailed introduction on
the structural plan of
the violin concerto
Spring in Dresden. It's
like the welcome rain on
a quiet spring night that
nurtures the budding
seeds, our new society is
pushing us forward to the
new future. The music
reflects the scenes and
the expression according
to the meaning of the
poem when it's being
unfolded line by line.
Although the tempo is set
63 quarter notes per
minute throughout (played
vividly, never slow
down), the tension is
being built up from the
quiet background in the
beginning, to the
sustained climax towards
the end. The musical
image in Rehearsal A and
B (measures 39-80)
represents the first four
lines of the poem. The
wind instruments response
to the rustling of fast
moving notes on muted
string triplets,
decorated by occasional
strokes produced by
metallic string sound and
high woodwind gestures.
The music in Rehearsal C
and D (measures 81-126)
represents the next two
lines of the poem. It's
so dark, a little light
in the boat is shimmering
on the lake... The
breathy sound and key
slaps on the flutes
create a mysterious
atmosphere, in a dialogue
with other instruments.
The cello glissandi
recite the poem in the
tone of Mandarin, echoed
by the string harmonics.
The music in Rehearsal F,
G and H (m 129-202) is a
toccata, starting in the
orchestra (led by the
marimba), which builds up
a big shape, to reach the
climax in m. 157
(Rehearsal G, the
location of the Golden
Section, according to the
length of the music
without cadenzas), and
keeps the vivid scene
towards the coda (from
Rehearsal I, m. 203),
which stands on the
energetic peak until the
clear cutoff on measure
239, followed by the
short, yet powerful solo
conclusion with the
lingering echo produced
by the high string
harmonics. On the top,
there is a recall of the
three note motive in the
sound of wonderland,
touched by the motor-on
vibraphone meaningfully.

Ivan Fischer.Full of
excitement and inner
power, the musical image
is vivid, energetic,
sometimeslyrical and
sometimes dramatic. The
major angular thematic
material (a three
notemotive) consists of
big leaps in interval (a
perfect fourth downward
and then a minorseventh
upward, first introduced
by the violin solo in
measures 27-29). Except
for thecadenzas which
stand at the middle
(Rehearsal E, measure
127) and the two ends of
the piece as a frame, the
virtuosic violin solo
line is always
accompanied by the ever
moving and growing
textures in the
background. The rests
between long and short
phrases symbolize the
space in Chinese
paintings. The Beijing
Opera reciting tune, and
the fingerings to produce
sliding tones in the
performance of the
Chinese fiddle erhu are
also borrowed in the
writing and the
performing of the western
instruments.The musical
imagination of the violin
concerto came from an
ancient Chinese poem with
the same title, written
by Du Fu (712-770) in
Tang Dynasty.Happy Rain
on a Spring Nightby Du Fu
(712-770 in Tang
Dynasty)Happy rain comes
in time,When spring is in
its prime.With night
breeze it will fall,And
quietly moisten
all.Clouds darken wild
roads,Light brightens a
little boat.Saturated at
dawn,With flowers
blooming the
town.(English translation
by Chen Yi from the
original poem in
Chinese)The following is
the poem in its original
Chinese form, and the
detailed introduction
onthe structural plan of
the violin concerto
Spring in
Dresden.It’s like
the welcome rain on a
quiet spring night that
nurtures the budding
seeds, our newsociety is
pushing us forward to the
new future. The music
reflects the scenes and
theexpression according
to the meaning of the
poem when it’s
being unfolded line by
line.Although the tempo
is set 63 quarter notes
per minute throughout
(played vividly,
neverslow down), the
tension is being built up
from the quiet background
in the beginning, tothe
sustained climax towards
the end. The musical
image in Rehearsal A and
B (measures39-80)
represents the first four
lines of the poem. The
wind instruments response
to therustling of fast
moving notes on muted
string triplets,
decorated by occasional
strokesproduced by
metallic string sound and
high woodwind gestures.
The music in RehearsalC
and D (measures 81-126)
represents the next two
lines of the poem. It's
so dark, a littlelight in
the boat is shimmering on
the lake... The breathy
sound and key slaps on
theflutes create a
mysterious atmosphere, in
a dialogue with other
instruments. The
celloglissandi recite the
poem in the tone of
Mandarin, echoed by the
string harmonics.
Themusic in Rehearsal F,
G and H (m 129-202) is a
toccata, starting in the
orchestra (led bythe
marimba), which builds up
a big shape, to reach the
climax in m. 157
(Rehearsal G,the location
of the Golden Section,
according to the length
of the music
withoutcadenzas), and
keeps the vivid scene
towards the coda (from
Rehearsal I, m. 203),
whichstands on the
energetic peak until the
clear cutoff on measure
239, followed by the
short,yet powerful solo
conclusion with the
lingering echo produced
by the high
stringharmonics. On the
top, there is a recall of
the three note motive in
the sound ofwonderland,
touched by the motor-on
vibraphone
meaningfully.The music is
written for 2 flutes, 2
oboes, 2 clarinets (in
Bb), 2 bassoons, 4 French
horns (in F), 2 trumpets
(in Bb), 3 trombones,
tuba, harp, 3 percussion
players (Perc.
1:xylophone; Perc. 2:
suspended cymbal,
Japanese high woodblock,
snare drum, bass drum and
vibraphone; Perc. 3:
marimba and tam-tam),
solo violin, and
strings.Duration is about
20 minutes. $55.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

ch. In this book,
you will find a series of
rhythmic patterns
(motifs), each of which
is followed by eight
lines of musical
exercises in which that
rhythmic motif is
incorporated. Lines 9 and
10 have been left blank:
it is up to you to think
of two exercises using
the motif concerned to
complete the missing
staves. With the
exercises in the book,
together with those you
have made up yourself,
you have a total of 320
exercises. They are all
intended to improve your
drumming technique by
means of
ââ¬Ëdrum
gymnasticsââ¬â
. It is better and more
effective to play one or
two exercises often and
thoroughly, than to rush
through a number of
exercises. Only an
intensive and carefully
built-uptraining
programme will lead to
the improvement and
perfection of your
technique -
donââ¬â¢t give
up too easily, keep
practising, and keep
going.
In dit
boek vind je boven aan
elke bladzijde een
ritmische bouwsteen,
gevolgd door acht
notenbalken met
oefeningen waarin deze
bouwsteen is verwerkt. De
balken 9 en 10 zijn
nergens ingevuld: aan jou
de uitdaging om zelf twee
oefeningenmet de
betreffende bouwsteen te
bedenken en die in te
vullen.De oefeningen die
al in het boek staan
komen dan, samen met de
oefeningen die je zelf
hebt bedacht, op een
aantal van maar liefst
320. Ze hebben als doel
door middelvan
ââ¬Ëdrumgymnast

techniek van het

en effectiever om elke
dag een of twee
oefeningen vaak en
grondig door te nemen dan
om meerdere oefeningen
even snel door te spelen.
Alleen een intensieveen
zorgvuldig opgebouwde
training zal leiden tot

inches. Ninja is a
Grade 2 piece playable by
any young band, due to
extensive doublings
throughout. The mood of
the piece is mysterious,
reflecting the image of
ninjas being seen one
moment and gone the next.
Flute 3 is not essential
as it doubles the oboes,
but is useful in case you
have a lot of flutes or
due to a limited number
of oboes. If you donat
have a bass clarinet,
baritone saxophone or
bassoons, those parts are
covered in the low brass.
The timpani part is
optional, and the piece
wonat suffer if you donat
have access to that
percussion. The optional
F-chime and gong only
play in the final measure
of the piece. While
adding a notable effect
at the end, those
instruments wonat be
missed if you donat have
them available. The
tom-tom part can be
played on a snare drum
with the snares off or
may be played on a tenor
drum. Care should be
taken that accented notes
are emphasized, but never
become ponderous. The
half notes at the
beginning of the piece
should not be accented.
The theme is introduced
in the first twelve
measures, and at m. 13
many of the instruments
trade the melody for half
notes and vice-versa. Be
careful that the
percussion section never
becomes overpowering. At
m. 25, care should be
taken that there is quite
a volume difference
between ff and mp. Think
of this representing the
ninjas being seen one
moment and being hidden
the next. The double
staccato figures at m. 33
should not be accented.
Trumpets and trombones at
m. 37 should not be
overly legato, but
certainly shouldnat be
treated as staccatos.

accenting notes that
donat have accents will
make the accents at m. 49
more dramatic. Please

notes at mm. 58 and 60

820821003284. Jazz
Sonorities (2002) was
composed for Esther
Lamneck at her request
and premiered by her and
Barbara Allen on drums at
the Loewe Theater of New
York University on May
30, 2002. Ms. Lamneck
asked me to compose a
piece for either solo
clarinet or clarinet and
piano. I decided on the
former to continue my
Sonorities series of
works for solo
instruments which
eventually resulted in
Sonorities VII for solo
b-flat clarinet
(2003-04). However,
shortly after getting
started with my
Sonorities VII I kept
hearing the swinging
sounds of a jazz clarinet
backed up by a jazz drum
set. Part of the reason I
kept hearing these sounds
is that I grew up
listening to the big
swing bands of such
clarinet leaders as Benny
Goodman, Artie Shaw,
Woody Herman, and Jimmy
Dorsey. These musicians
were my first exposure to
the clarinet. So I
decided to first compose
a piece for clarinet with
a jazz quality and a
swinging partly ad lib
part for the drums and to
put my solo clarinet
piece for Esther on hold
for a year. There was
also a personal reason to
use the drums in the
piece. My first ambition
in music was to be a jazz
drummer and indeed I
studied drums with a jazz
drummer and played drums
professionally in dance
bands for several years.
Ms. Lamneck's part in
this piece is almost
entiirely written out
except for a few measures
of improvisation around
the middle of the piece.
The jazz quality of her
part comes mostly in the
prasing and using bluesy
like pitch bends, slides,
and microtones. The jazz
quality of the drum set
part is in the swinging
beat that is used
throughout most of the
piece. The influence of
the famous recording of
Sing Sing Sing, with a
swing by Benny Goodman &
his orchestra in 1937
featuring Gene Krupa on
drums is heard in the
middle section when the
drummer switches to a
beat on the floor tom and
high tom for several
measures. Also, the Afro
Cuban section toward the
end of the piece was
influenced by the many
recordings of Stan Kenton
& his orchestra
particularly the 1950
Pete Rugolo arrangement
of Cole Porter's Love for
Sale. In the drum solo of
the Afro Cuban section
which is near the end can
use optional claves
and/or maracas (1-2
additional players). At
the premiere the composer
joined in this section on
maracas. The drum set
calls for a bass drum,
floor tom, snare drum,
high tom, ride cymbal,
sizzle cymbal, and
hi-hat. --Patrick

from a collection for
voice and piano by Clair
Fairchild in his Twelve
Persian Folk Songs
published by Novello and

Fairchild's goal was to
capture the spirit and
ambiance of Persia's
music and musicians.
Fairchild took special
care to preserve their
authenticity by limiting
western harmony. Such is
also the case in this
setting for concert band.
Special attention should
be given to replicate
songlike phrasing of the
melodic lines and the
rhythmic integrity and
style of the
accompaniment. Conductors
are encouraged to take
liberties with dynamics
and articulations to help
performers play
expressively. There are
many inflections that
exist beyond what is
printed on the page. For
example, the reeds might
subtly shape the rhythmic
accompaniment in m. 6-7,
as might the trumpets
with the melody in m. 18.
In. m. 23, the wind
musicians other than the
trumpets are a part of
the rhythm section with
the percussion. These
rhythms should fit
together nicely to create
a steady cadence. The
melodic statements
beginning at m. 35 should
be carefully balanced to
speak evenly throughout
the various voices. If an

ney back to ancient
Greece and view a place
of long-gone legend.
Follow the trail to the
Kingdom of Ithaca, from
the heroic palace, to a
place of tranquility, to
a reckless dance of
abandon, to the return of
Odysseus. The melodic
material used in 200 B.C.
is from a two thousand
year old Greek hymn to
Apollo. The legendary
adventures of Odysseus as
described by Homer in the
Odyssey (ca. 700 B.C.)
provide the programmatic
material. The music is
freely based upon the
First Delphic Hymn (or
Paen to Apollo), composed
ca. 200 B.C. The source
is a transcription
appearing on pages 363 -
367 of Ancient and
Oriental Music, Edited by
Egon Wellesz (Oxford
University Press: London,
1957). Each movement of
the work depicts a key
event in the epic Homeric
poem, as described below.
Movement I: Intrada - The
first four notes of this
movement, C - Bb - G -
Bb, are the melodic and
harmonic foundation for
the entire work. These
pitches, introduced in a
simple and direct manner,
are subsequently
developed in more complex
fashions throughout the
suite. Following this
stately introduction is a
militaristic fanfare that
introduces the
dotted-eighth and
sixteenth-note figure
later reprised in the
second and fourth
movements. Indeed, all
the musical ideas which
will be central to the
remaining movements first
appear in the Intrada.
This movement depicts the
grandeur of Odysseus and
his kingdom in Ithaca,
and establishes the
heroic mood of the entire
work. Movement II: Ballad
- After a brief
restatement of the
opening
dotted-eighth-and-sixteen
th fanfare, the second
movement extracts the
falling third (Bb to G)
from the C - Bb - G - Bb
motif and extends it and
expands it into a
haunting solo for alto
saxophone. The C - Bb - G
- Bb motif appears again
(see measures 23 - 33 in
trumpets) as counterpoint
to this melody, now
pulsing through the thick
texture of the band. Many
performers have come to
view the Ballad as the
emotional epicenter of
the entire suite; my
conception of the Ballad
is to achieve a union of
pathos and strength.
Programmatically, this
movement depicts
Odysseus's son,
Telemachos, as he both
longs for Odysseus's
return and stoically
defends his father's
kingdom. Movement III:
Dance - It will take
Odysseus twenty years to
return to Ithaca. During
his absence, noblemen
besiege his palace,
violating the sanctity of
the household and seeking
the hand of his wife,
Penelope. This movement
depicts the wanton
revelries that result.
The original four-note
motif is chromatically
altered and the meter is
made irregular. The rapid
tempo, driving
percussion, and angular
meter and melodies
combine in an explosion
of reckless abandon.
Movement IV: March
Building from a delicate
woodwind ensemble
accompanied by finger
cymbals to a fully
orchestrated statement
replete with thundering
percussion, this is a
resounding march of
victory. Odysseus has
returned in triumph to
restore dignity to his
household and to reclaim
the throne of the Kingdom
of Ithaca. Ensemble
