680160688579. When
RoseWind Duo’s Clifford
Leaman and Scott Herring
commissioned me for
Silver Linings, we could
not have anticipated that
we would be in the middle
of the COVID-19 pandemic
when I composed the
piece. In the early
summer of 2020, when the
three of us met virtually
to discuss possible
topics, we had all been
in lockdown for several
months; the causes and
effects of the lockdown
were at the forefront of
our discussion. In
themidst of daily
tragedies, I had been
seeing news stories using
the words “silver
lining” to describe
unexpectedly positive
situations arising from
our global situation,
ranging from small
effects (i.e. people
having time to work on
projects they never could
get around to doing) to
global ramifications
(resurging animal
populations in areas
where they’re no longer
challenged for space with
humanity).Silver Linings
consists of two
movements. Groundhog Day,
the first movement, is
slow and brooding. It
embodies the strong
feeling of déjà vu that
so many of us experienced
early on into lockdown,
as we seemed to live the
same day repeatedly with
minor variances to our
schedules. There are two
main musical gestures:
the first opens the piece
as a slow, ascending
minor chord which is a
representation of
uncertainty, and the
secondis a falling minor
scale. These gestures
depict how our lives were
reduced to the basic
building blocks of life
– wake up, eat, work,
eat, sleep – as our
daily activities and
livelihoods were suddenly
knocked down. These same
two gestures are utilized
in the energetic second
movement, Making
Lemonade, except that
they are spun around to
reveal their silver
linings: the minor chord
falls to sound centered
and decisive, and the
minor scale rises as it
bubbles with activity.
Among the seeds of
despair are also
foundseeds of hope, and
the saxophone and marimba
explore this hopefulness
with great vigor and
excitement. $33.99 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

680160089956. 9.5 x 13
inches. EXCURSIONS
is a one-movement work
exploring two
“characters.” A
rhapsodic, descending
passage is introduced by
the cello, followed by
a static, chorale-like
phrase for the violin and
cello. Their individual
developments are
separated by a slow,
contrasting middle
section. The composer has
written: “This is
analogous to situations
in life: we stand by a
crossroad, choosing one
option and forfeiting the
other. But in art, the
realm of the imagination,
we can perhaps afford to
pursue more than one
route to its ultimate
destination… or can we?
It is symbolic that in
this work both roads
eventually lead to the
same
place.”. Excursions
for violin, cello and
piano, is a one-movement
work of tripartite
structure in which
materials explored in the
first of three large
sections are brought back
in the last section.
The traditional
statement-contrast-restat
ement form, which is
readily suggested by such
a description, is,
however, not at all in
the mold in which the
work is cast. Rather,
my aim was to subject the
essential materials of
the piece (two
“characters” –the
rhapsodic, descending
passage played by the
cello in the very opening
and, later, a static,
slow moving, chorale-like
phrase for the violin and
cello) to two entirely
different developments
separated by a slow,
contrasting middle
section. This is
analogous to an
exploration of the
ramifications that two
divergent choices made by
the same person might
lead to. In life, as we
stand by a crossroad,
choosing one option
usually means having to
forfeit the other. But
in art, the realm of the
imagination, we can
perhaps afford to pursue
more than one route to
its ultimate
destination…or can
we? It is, I believe,
symbolic that in this
work both roads
eventually lead to the
same place: in composing
Excursions, it seemed
absolutely inescapable
that at the end the slow,
contrasting middle
sections – both more
resigned and peaceful
than the battling spirits
of the outer parts –
should return briefly to
end the work. The piano
trio combination (once
highly favored, but to
this composer still as
challenging today) is
approached here as a
collaborative effort of
three equal soloists –
partners. Of the
available pairings, the
two strings find
themselves occasionally
approached as a team
pitted against the
piano. The cello-piano
combination is also not
uncommon here, and there
is an extended violin
cadenza toward the end of
the piece. The writing
for the three instruments
is closely and at times
interlinked, but the
players are all
instructed to play from
scores. Excursions was
first performed at
Brandeis University in
1982. $80.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 24 hours - In Stock | | |

Craig Anderton The
Musician's Guide to Home
Recording
Series. Everything
in the studio starts and
ends with audio – both
analog and digital –
yet many musicians know a
lot more about the
principles of music than
the principles behind
audio. The Musician's
Guide to Audio will
include: • Audio theory
– sound waves in the
real world • Bit
resolution • Sample
rates • Distortion •
The different types of
decibels • The meaning
of audio specifications
• Frequency response
• The different types
of distortion •
Signal-to-noise ratio •
Dynamic range • How the
human ear hears sound,
and more The book then
segues into
specifications regarding
levels, connection
standards (both analog
and digital), and
resolving potential
incompatibilities among
different pieces of gear.
Additional topics include
information on the
practical ramifications
of audio, such as the
basics of room acoustics,
why speaker placement
matters, audio
distribution methods
including data-compressed
formats like MP3, the
unique constraints of
vinyl, and more. Filled
with illustrations and
featuring selected
“tech talk” sidebars
to give details on
specific topics for those
who want to know
“why” as well as
“how,” The Musician's
Guide to Audio fills a
unique need by avoiding
overly-technical details,
and instead emphasizing
the practical
implications involved in
working with audio in the
studio. $18.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 24 hours - In Stock | | |
