Sea of Hope is an optimistic work about new land arisen from the former Zuiderzee (the Netherlands). In the introduction, the sea is conveyed in all its glory and ferocity, through a melody that keeps you wondering whether it makes you happy or sad. Then, finally, there is a glimmer of hope, when the water is dammed up and the land partly reclaimed (by conversion into polder land). The town of Dronten, for instance, develops into a place where one day two people meet up and fall in love. This love is reflected in the slow, passionate middle movement. New life in the town is celebrated joyfully: the zest for life clearly shines through this part of the work, followed byoptimism and celebration in the closing bars.

Sea of Hope is een optimistisch werk over nieuw land, ontstaan vanuit de genadeloze voormalige Zuiderzee. In de inleiding wordt deze zee in al haar glorie en smart bezongen door een melodie waarvan je eigenlijk niet weet of je er blij of verdrietig van wordt. Dan gloort er eindelijk hoop als het water wordt ingedamd en deels in polderland verandert. Zo ontwikkelt het dorp Dronten zich tot een plaats waar twee mensen elkaar op een dag ontmoeten om de liefde te vinden. Deze liefde wordt weerspiegeld in het langzame, gepassioneerde middengedeelte. Het leven in het dorp wordt met blijdschap gevierd: de levensvreugde spat er in dit snelle deel van af en wordt gevolgd dooroptimistische, vreugdevolle slotmaten.

Sea of Hope ist ein optimistisches Werk über das neue Land, das aus der unbarmherzigen ehemaligen Zuiderzee (Niederlande) entstanden ist. In der Einleitung wird das Meer mit all seiner Herrlichkeit und seinem Leid durch eine Melodie dargestellt, bei der man sich fragt, ob sie fröhlich oder traurig macht. Dann gibt es schließlich einen Hoffnungsschimmer, als das Wasser aufgestaut und teilweise in eine Polderlandschaft umgewandelt wird. So entwickelt sich die Stadt Dronten zu einem Ort, an dem sich eines Tages zwei Menschen begegnen und ineinander verlieben. Diese Liebe wird in dem langsamen und leidenschaftlichen mittleren Satz zum Ausdruck gebracht. Das gemeinsameneue Leben in der Stadt wird fröhlich gefeiert: Die Lebensfreude kommt in diesem Teil des Werkes deutlich zum Ausdruck und es folgen optimistische und feierliche Schlusstakte.

Sea of Hope est une œuvre optimiste concernant la nouvelle terre créée sur l’ancienne Zuiderzee (Pays-Bas). Dans l’introduction, la mer est représentée dans toute sa gloire et dans sa douleur par une mélodie qui évoque toutes sortes d’émotions contradictoires. Ensuite, enfin, on retrouve une lueur d’espoir lorsque l’eau est barrée et une partie de la terre est transformée en polder. Le développement de la ville de Dronten, par exemple, permet deux personnes de se rencontrer et de tomber amoureux. Cet amour est représenté par le mouvement lent et passionné du milieu.

Das 30minutige Orchesterwerk in drei Satzen, das von den Bremer Philharmonikern in Auftrag gegeben und von diesen 2007 uraufgefuhrt wurde, gehort zu den Schlusselwerken von Maxwell Davies der letzten Jahre. Study score. Composed 2006. Op. 276. 8 pages. Duration 30'. Schott Music #ED13366. Published by Schott Music (HL.49018422).

Maxwell Davies' 'Das Rauschende der Farbe' (The Sound of Colour) is a reflection on the life and work of the German artist Paula Modersohn-Becker who died aged 31 in 1907. Maxwell Davies first got to know the artist's work whilst on a school exchange in Hamburg in 1951 and the composer has since written that Modersohn-Becker's work has influenced the way that he views the relationship between art and the landscape in which it is produced. This is a particularly significant statement for a composer whose music is often a response to the land and seascape of his adopted home in the Orkney Isles. Commissioned by the Bremer Philharmoniker and first performed by them in 2007, the 30 minute orchestral work in three movements is one of the key works by Maxwell Davies in recent years.

The Sea of Stars is a popular tourist destination on the island of Vaadhoo in the Maldives. Special phytoplankton called dinoflagellates turn blue when disturbed, a process called bioluminenscence. As the waves break and crash against the shore, the water turns a sparkling blue, as if the stars are being reflected in the water. The opening of this piece imitates the shimmering water as a nostalgic tune is presented by a solo cello over delicate harmonics and tremolo. As the music swells and accelerates, the flowing theme is passed around the orchestra until a final climactic statement brings back the opening material. The piece ends as quietly and magically as it started.

The text for Dust came to me in a season of reflection. As educators and mentors to the generations that come after us, we have a responsibility to provide tools so that others can shape their future. Overtime, it can become easy to lose one's personal vision for one's self when influenced by so many outside factors. When the pressure builds, it can almost feel like a self-reckoning; an opportunity to build ourselves again. Though we are influenced by our surroundings, we are all unique in our purpose and design!These questions of self-reflection came first:How much of me flows from their blood?How much of me is built of their flesh?How much of me is manifested from their dreams?And just like our own identities, the rest of the poem begin to take shape. I hope that this text speaks to you wherever you are in your discovery and journey to your most authentic self.DustI am rubbleCarved into my ruins, you will find my ancestry interwoven with my identityHow much of me flows from their blood?How much of me is built of their flesh?How much of me is manifested from their dreams?The only way to my truth is through my foundationI rage against those who would dare covet this sacred spaceI am the temple and the monumentThis is holy ground.I must demolish myself.Tear down the walls that have held up your visions and destroyed mine.I must restore myself in my own image.And when the dust settles, you can see my bones.Pillars of strength, marble, and earthWalls painted with my blood, cracked with time, polished like my skin(Golden)I will not be complete, but I will be homethe dust settlesAnd we build again—Coty Raven Morris    � � .

On Track. By Sadie Harrison. Set (Score & Parts). 15 pages. University of York Music Press #MUSM570209088. Published by University of York Music Press (BT.MUSM570209088).

English.

13 specially commissioned pieces which aim to breathe new life into a largely neglected component of the GCSE/Key Stage 4 Music syllabus, Ensemble Performance. On Track comes complete with a CD-Rom containing all the parts for all the pieces and transpositions for any instrument, and these parts come with a licence for printing as many copies as needed, directly from the CD-Rom. A separate 'audio' CD also contains recordings of every piece. The book contains scores for each piece and extended notes by the composers to aid in the preparation of the music: there are 5 pieces for fixed ensembles and 8 pieces for flexible ensembles. The editor of the compilation, Sadie Harrison, comments: Playing in an ensemble with one's peers is perhaps the most rewarding and satisfying thing to do as a young performer, and it is crucial to nurture this element of GCSE courses to reflect this. On Track is a fantastic collection of many different styles, approaches and sounds. There is something in here for everybody, at whatever level, and on whatever instrument. This is what GCSE Music teachers are crying out for, and finally here is something that really hits the mark. Harrison's comments are echoed by recent examiners' reports from EdExcel, one of the largest examiners of GCSE music. They describe how the music they heard in examinations demonstrated 'an extreme range of standards and revealed evidence of the very wide range of instruments in use'. The AQA (Assessment and Qualification Alliance) Examiners' report in 2004 warns schools against allowing their students to present solo music with a piano accompaniment played by a teacher or with a CD accompaniment for the ensemble performance component. It continues, saying that it is of utmost importance that the chosen ensemble allows the candidate to show rapport with the other player(s). This is a significant requirement with which many [examination] centres did NOT comply.

About� � Jónas Halgrímsson (1807-1845) was an Icelandic poet, author and naturalist, who is considered one of Iceland's most renowned poets. Considered a Romantic writer, the strong imagery in his poetry was influenced heavily by the landscapes around him.The imagery, excitement, and curiosity of the universe leapt off the page and the music almost wrote itself. Reflecting on the cosmos and origin of the heavens, the poetry elicits excitement and stirs spatial imagery - ...speeding spark of light, ...wings swifter than wind..., ...I watched the stars...rise from the still stream of heaven... The pure and almost child-like fascination with the universe and its expansion and progression fuels the perpetual rhythm of the work as it continually pushes forward.A good friend asked if I would write a song for her ensemble. The original voicing, for SAB choir, contained parameters in that it had to be three-part with a limited range in the Bass part. With these stipulations I began to write. I searched for something that would be exciting for them and landed on Jonas Halgrimsson’s writings. I believe it is equally as exciting, accessible and challenging for tenor-bass choirs. Directorâ€� ��s NoteTruly consider how the work can come to ‘life’ off the page.

About J� �nas Halgrímsson (1807-1845) was an Icelandic poet, author and naturalist, who is considered one of Iceland's most renowned poets. Considered a Romantic writer, the strong imagery in his poetry was influenced heavily by the landscapes around him.The imagery, excitement, and curiosity of the universe leapt off the page and the music almost wrote itself.  Reflecting on the cosmos and origin of the heavens, the poetry elicits excitement and stirs spatial imagery - ...speeding spark of light, ...wings swifter than wind..., ...I watched the stars...rise from the still stream of heaven... The pure and almost child-like fascination with the universe and its expansion and progression fuels the perpetual rhythm of the work as it continually pushes forward.A good friend asked if I would write a song for her ensemble.

Piano, C instrument - Intermediate

SKU: GI.G-10445

Composed by Franz Joseph Haydn. Arranged by Zack Stachowski. Lent, Palm Sunday, Good Friday. Sacred. 64 pages. GIA Publications #10445. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-10445).

  Using several versions of the original work as inspiration, Zack Stachowski has arranged The Seven Last Words of Christ for solo instrument and piano, making Haydn’s music accessible to music ministers who may not have access to larger instrumental ensembles.    These prayerful meditations can be used as preludes, as music for reflection, or in ritual when singing is not permitted. Though the pieces are inspired by the Seven Last Words from the Cross and find their most obvious fit in the season of Lent and Holy Week, the diversity of color and character makes them suitable on other occasions throughout the entire year.   (Since these arrangements were envisioned as liturgy preludes or as instrumental pieces during ritual, Haydn’s original prelude and earthquake movements have been excluded due to their overtly dramatic and performative nature.)    .
