(Concert March) was
commissioned by the Arts
Education Branch,

This march uses brief
excerpts from the
well-known Malay folk
songs Katak Lompat and
Rasa Sayang. Our youths
are indeed our future of
tomorrow. This
joyful-themed march aims
to bring out the best in
each of your young
players. I hope that

listening to this work.
EDUCATIONAL NOTES Key: Eb
Major SECTION BARS EVENT
/ SCORING / SUGGESTIONS
Introduction 1-4 Opens in
Eb major with dotted
rhythm motif. 1st Strain
5-20 Take note of melodic
phrasing above the
(light) oom-pah ostinato;
melody repeats at m. 13
with the addition of
countermelody in the
inner lines; although
written at mf dynamic,
this anew ideaa needs to
be heard clearly for
contrast with the
previous statement. 2nd
Strain 21-36 C minor
(relative minor); excerpt
from Katak Lompat; melody
in the lower brass/wind
from m. 21 with a
contrasting
attitude/style from 1st
strain; back to a more
lyrical treatment from m.
29. Trio 37-56 Stays
unmodulated in the same
key; opens with a
percussion solo feature
before the start of the
softer Trio theme; keep
this section controlled
and be sensitive to the
balance; the metallic
timbre of the muted
trumpet/cornet needs to
be heard clearly (might
suggest to bring the
dynamic level up to mf
when muted); if
cued-notes are played,
make sure they are played
throughout the melodic
phrase as written to
avoid awkward leaps.
Break Strain 57-62
Excerpt from Rasa Sayang
with some play in
tonality and instrumental
dialogue; quasi
grandioso-style before
the final strain. Final
Strain 63-82 Back to Eb
major with the reprise of
the Trio theme;
festive-like style with
fuller orchestration and
new countermelodies;
dotted rhythm motif from
the introduction
concludes the march in a
codetta-like section from
m. 79. NOTE TO THE
CONDUCTOR This march has
been carefully written
with reasonable
technicalities and range
in mind for younger
players. Generally,
optional cued notes in
parenthesis are given for
less experienced players
who have yet to develop
their range on the
instrument. However, they
should never be taken as
an easy alternative for
all players in the
section; otherwise, this
may result in a less than
ideal flow of the musical
lines. Marches are good
tools to train tempo
consistency, articulation
and rhythmic precision as
well as musical phrasing.
I hope that there will be
great learning
opportunities for your
students as they learn
this piece. This march is
separately orchestrated
for both wind and brass
bands to maximize the
instrumental colors
within each ensemble. The
parts are therefore not
exchangeable between the
wind band and brass band
sets. I wish you the best
in the performance of
this work. - Benjamin

Commissione
d by the Kolner
Philharmonie (KolnMusik)
for the non bthvn projekt
2020 and the Cite de la
musique / Philharmonie de
Paris Dedicated to
Arditti Quartet Each
movement of this quartet
explores a single state,
its lights and its
shadows. Each movement,
you could say, is a
moment . And these
moments could last for
more or less time without
compromising their
essential nature. The
processes could be
extended or compressed,
repeated or reversed, but
the core ideas - if they
are ideas, but maybe they
are simply experiences? -
are what they are.
Despite this, the precise
sequence of movements
matters a great deal.
Heard together they do
articulate some kind of
linear narrative, maybe
even a metaphorical
journey (albeit a
circular one where the
arrival might, who knows,
prove to be a new
departure). One situation
gives way to another and
instrumental
relationships within the
quartet vary, but
ultimately the
imaginative impulse
behind the piece
preferences states of
unity. Whether or not
this unity is expressed
texturally - sometimes
literal unisons pervade,
but not always - there is
generally a sense that
even seemingly diverse
aspects relate to a
fundamental condition of
concord: a conscious
limitation in the pitch
structure to spectral
emanations of the root
notes E-flat and C. At
the opening this is
unambiguously audible in
the perpetual alternation
of these two notes in the
low cello register. Later
the two spectra are woven
into a micro-tonal
'double-spectral-mode'
(derived from the first
24 partials of the C and
E-flat fundamentals),
which defines the subtle
melodic inflection of the
second movement, and the
never-quite-chromatic
ascending scales of the
third. For now this feels
like a rich source of
melodic possibility, so
far only just glimpsed...
And why the insistence on
E-flat? Probably by way
of historical anecdote.
Apparently Karl Holz (a
member of the
Schuppanzigh Quartet)
said to Beethoven: We
performed your Quartet in
E-flat Op. 127 in his
[Weber's] honour; he
found the Adagio too
long; but I told him:
Beethoven also has a
longer feeling and a
longer imagination than
anyone standing or not
standing today. - Since
then, even Linke (another
member of the quartet)
can no longer stand him:
we cannot forgive him for
this. Listening again to
Op. 127, in light of
these comments, I was
struck by the opening
moment: the unfolding of
an E-flat 7th chord over
the course of a few bars.
Every time I hear it I
find myself wishing that
Beethoven would have
lingered longer there,
without resolution or
progression, just
enjoying that sonority.
And maybe - why not? -
tune the 7th naturally.
And what would it be to
stretch that moment into
an entire piece? What
would Weber think of
that?! In the end I was
not so extreme in my
self-limitation, and
other concerns took over,
but it was from these
thoughts that the
composition process
began... Lastly, about
the title: it comes from
a book called 'The Clock
of the Long Now' by
Stewart Brand, published
at the turn of the
millennium. It's about
the creation of a
thousand-year clock to
embody the aspiration to
thinking in terms of
longer time-spans than
are presently habitual.
If the music of Beethoven
embodied a 'longer'
feeling and imagination
than some of his
contemporaries were able
to appreciate, what is
our relation to time now?
Longer or shorter? Maybe
it depends who you ask...
It's probably more
extreme in both
directions: attention
spans might be
diminishing in the
digital world, but
conversely there is an
awareness of distant
pasts and potential
futures which would have
been inconceivable at the
time of Beethoven. In any
case, the interesting
thing is to ponder how
societal conditions,
assumptions and
expectations might -
whether consciously or
unconsciously - influence
the time of art, for
listeners and creators
alike. And what if time
is running out?

BACH TO THE FUTUREFor
many years I have been
specially fascinated by
three of the preludes of
Bach's Well-tempered
Piano, and I wish with
this concerto-version for
percussion-duo and
orchestra to highlight
some of the structural
aspects of these pieces:
It is my belief that
there is a tradition in
the music history, that
makes it possible to let
certain germs in an
earlier period unfold
into new, but not
heterogenious, dimensions
of a perhaps several
hundred years later phase
of the tradition.This
concerto is a result of
several years
collaboration with Uffe
Savery and Morten Friis
(Safri-Duo), as well in
original compositions -
(Resonances,
Repercussion, Resume in
EchoZone I-III) as in
arrangements of the 3
Bach preludes, preparing
for the enormous
stylistic challenges of
this work.A few
introductory comments to
each movement:I Movement:
The archetypal sequence
of broken chords within
C-major has established
itself as almost a
cultural code, allowing
the composer of 1996 to
tell his tale-in-tones
only by stressing and
colouring the tones in
the original piece
without changing the
pitches or (relative)
durations as a
'palimpsest' containing
as well the old as the
new musical tale
simultaneously. Later in
the movement, this
singleline is multiplied
by the, till then
discrete, but permanently
pervading, proportion -
throughout the piece -
very close to the 'Golden
Section'(= 3:5:8.t.i:8
before repetition, 5
before starting anew from
the deepest tone, 3 as
the rest etc. unchanged).
The 3 tonal levels as
well as the 3 relative
speeds are treated
according to these
proportions for certain
passages, but even in
those the main focal
point is directed at the
freely invented melody
(by me) incarnating
itself solely by the
unpermutad sequels of the
original prelude.II
Movement: One feature of
the F sharp-prelude
pervades all the six
minutes-long second
movement: A 4 times
identical rhythmic
pattern = 6:4:3:2:3:4:6 -
as an hourglass-shaped
timeshape - inspired me
by the closeness of this
pattern to a shape within
the infinity-drumming of
my invention, called
Wide-Fan and Narrow-Fan ,
referring to pattern
consisting of
8:4:2:1:2:4:8, the
familiarity with the
above - quoted one being
obvious. New and old
elaborations of this
pattern-pair permeates
the movement, especially
since the Safri-Duo by
their performance of my
Repercussion had
augmented my appetite for
including this idiom in a
wider context:III
Movement: Without the
existence of the
d-minor-prelude I doubt
that I would have dared
to write a work like
this, since it is the
inexhaustible, rare
quality and pecularity of
this piece, which has
stimulated my feeling of
wonder and 'modernity'
(or: eternity!) of this
piece, of which I know of
no equal in its special
respect: the perpetual
ambiguity of melodic
foothold in the rhythmic
ostinato of a broken
descending triad, co.

This beautiful
collection by Irish
composer Liam Lawton
reflects the haunting
beauty of his own Celtic
tradition and carries
with it the hope of
future days for all
people. Ancient Ways,
Future Days includes
songs of hope, songs of
tears, and songs of
inspiration for the
seasons of the liturgical
year, all with a definite
Irish flavor! Liam's
bright, joyous version of
the Magnificat features a
strong, uplifting refrain
that practically sings
itself, while the
haunting Celtic strains
of Psalm 21: My God, My
God create a pensive mood
to begin Holy Week.
Pieta: The Silence and
the Sorrow is a heartfelt
song with a stirring
vocal solo for Good
Friday services. Let
Every Human Heart is an
uplifting piece, perfect
as a closing song during
Lent. Ideal for the
responsorial psalm or
communion processional at
funerals or memorial
services is the emotional
The Lord Will Heal the
Broken Heart. As the
title of this collection
suggests, these stirring
melodies will remind us
of the wealth left to us
by past generations,
while uplifting lyrics
are certain to inspire us
to constantly seek the
Lord of future days!

Charles Peltz (New

Music) In the wind band
profession—as in
every great
discipline—it is
critical to take stock in
the big questions about
where we are heading, and
why, as we move through
the twenty-first century.
This thought-provoking
book contains seven
high-level exchanges
between a leading wind
band practitioner and a
music education
philosopher. Each section
of The Future of the Wind
Band grapples with the
most profound issues
facing the music
education profession and
the path of instrumental
music education in our
schools: Relevance: What
relevance, if any, does
the wind band have both
to today’s
students and to culture
more broadly in the
twenty-first century?
What relevance does the
band experience hold for
students’ everyday
life? Repertoire: What is
the relationship between
the repertoire performed
by wind ensembles and the
larger musical world?
Pedagogy: What
constitutes best practice
in terms of musical
pedagogy and rehearsal
technique within the
large-ensemble
experience? Creativity:
Can the wind band
function as a vehicle for
enhancing the individual
creativity of its
members? Economic
Justice: How do issues of
social class and the
distribution of wealth
relate to broader
questions of social
justice within the
context of instrumental
music education?
Professional Ethics: What
are the primary ethical
responsibilities of the
wind band conductor?
Democratic Citizenship:
What relationship, if
any, can be drawn between
membership in the wind
band and citizen
participation in
democracy? Such exchanges
can only strengthen our
profession and pay rich
dividends in our musical
and educational work with
the students we serve.
