680160680252. Ever
since the success of my
series of wind ensemble
works Places in the West,
I've been wanting to
write a companion piece
for national parks on the
other side of the north
American continent. The
earlier work, consisting
of GLACIER, THE
YELLOWSTONE FIRES,
ARCHES, and ZION, spanned
some twenty years of my
composing life, and since
the pieces called for
differing groups of
instruments, and were in
slightly different styles
from each other, I never
considered them to be
connected except in their
subject matter. In their
depiction of both the
scenery and the human
history within these
wondrous places, they had
a common goal: awaking
the listener to the
fragile beauty that is in
them; and calling
attention to the ever
more crucial need for
preservation and
protection of these wild
places, unique in all the
world. With this new
work, commissioned by a
consortium of college and
conservatory wind
ensembles led by the
University of Georgia, I
decided to build upon
that same model---but to
solidify the process. The
result, consisting of
three movements (each
named for a different
national park in the
eastern US), is a
bona-fide symphony. While
the three pieces could be
performed separately,
they share a musical
theme---and also a common
style and
instrumentation. It is a
true symphony, in that
the first movement is
long and expository, the
second is a rather
tightly structured
scherzo-with-trio, and
the finale is a true
culmination of the whole.
The first movement,
Everglades, was the
original inspiration for
the entire symphony.
Conceived over the course
of two trips to that
astonishing place (which
the native Americans
called River of Grass,
the subtitle of this
movement), this movement
not only conveys a sense
of the humid, lush, and
even frightening scenery
there---but also an
overview of the entire
settling-of- Florida
experience. It contains
not one, but two native
American chants, and also
presents a view of the
staggering influence of
modern man on this
fragile part of the
world. Beginning with a
slow unfolding marked
Heavy, humid, the music
soon presents a gentle,
lyrical theme in the solo
alto saxophone. This
theme, which goes through
three expansive phrases
with breaks in between,
will appear in all three
movements of the
symphony. After the mood
has been established, the
music opens up to a rich,
warm setting of a
Cherokee morning song,
with the simple happiness
that this part of Florida
must have had prior to
the nineteenth century.
This music, enveloping
and comforting, gradually
gives way to a more
frenetic, driven section
representative of the
intrusion of the white
man. Since Florida was
populated and developed
largely due to the
introduction of a train
system, there's a
suggestion of the
mechanized iron horse
driving straight into the
heartland. At that point,
the native Americans
become considerably less
gentle, and a second
chant seems to stand in
the way of the intruder;
a kind of warning song.
The second part of this
movement shows us the
great swampy center of
the peninsula, with its
wildlife both in and out
of the water. A new theme
appears, sad but noble,
suggesting that this land
is precious and must be
protected by all the
people who inhabit it. At
length, the morning song
reappears in all its
splendor, until the
sunset---with one last
iteration of the warning
song in the solo piccolo.
Functioning as a scherzo,
the second movement,
Great Smoky Mountains,
describes not just that
huge park itself, but one
brave soul's attempt to
climb a mountain there.
It begins with three
iterations of the
UR-theme (which began the
first movement as well),
but this time as up-tempo
brass fanfares in
octaves. Each time it
begins again, the theme
is a little slower and
less confident than the
previous time---almost as
though the hiker were
becoming aware of the
daunting mountain before
him. But then, a steady,
quick-pulsed ostinato
appears, in a constantly
shifting meter system of
2/4- 3/4 in alteration,
and the hike has begun.
Over this, a slower new
melody appears, as the
trek up the mountain
progresses. It's a big
mountain, and the ascent
seems to take quite
awhile, with little
breaks in the hiker's
stride, until at length
he simply must stop and
rest. An oboe solo, over
several free cadenza-like
measures, allows us (and
our friend the hiker) to
catch our breath, and
also to view in the
distance the rocky peak
before us. The goal is
somehow even more
daunting than at first,
being closer and thus
more frighteningly steep.
When we do push off
again, it's at a slower
pace, and with more
careful attention to our
footholds as we trek over
broken rocks. Tantalizing
little views of the
valley at every
switchback make our
determination even
stronger. Finally, we
burst through a stand of
pines and----we're at the
summit! The immensity of
the view is overwhelming,
and ultimately humbling.
A brief coda, while we
sit dazed on the rocks,
ends the movement in a
feeling of triumph. The
final movement, Acadia,
is also about a trip. In
the summer of 2014, I
took a sailing trip with
a dear friend from North
Haven, Maine, to the
southern coast of Mt.
Desert Island in Acadia
National Park. The
experience left me both
exuberant and exhausted,
with an appreciation for
the ocean that I hadn't
had previously. The
approach to Acadia
National Park by water,
too, was thrilling: like
the difference between
climbing a mountain on
foot with riding up on a
ski-lift, I felt I'd
earned the right to be
there. The music for this
movement is entirely
based on the opening
UR-theme. There's a sense
of the water and the
mysterious, quiet deep
from the very beginning,
with seagulls and bell
buoys setting the scene.
As we leave the harbor,
the theme (in a canon
between solo euphonium
and tuba) almost seems as
if large subaquatic
animals are observing our
departure. There are
three themes (call them
A, B and C) in this
seafaring journey---but
they are all based on the
UR theme, in its original
form with octaves
displaced, in an
upside-down form, and in
a backwards version as
well. (The ocean, while
appearing to be
unchanging, is always
changing.) We move out
into the main channel
(A), passing several
islands (B), until we
reach the long draw that
parallels the coastline
called Eggemoggin Reach,
and a sudden burst of new
speed (C). Things
suddenly stop, as if the
wind had died, and we
have a vision: is that
really Mt. Desert Island
we can see off the port
bow, vaguely in the
distance? A chorale of
saxophones seems to
suggest that. We push off
anew as the chorale ends,
and go through all three
themes again---but in
different
instrumentations, and
different keys. At the
final tack-turn, there it
is, for real: Mt. Desert
Island, big as life.
We've made it. As we pull
into the harbor, where
we'll secure the boat for
the night, there's a
feeling of achievement.
Our whale and dolphin
friends return, and we
end our journey with
gratitude and
celebration. I am
profoundly grateful to
Jaclyn Hartenberger,
Professor of Conducting
at the University of
Georgia, for leading the
consortium which provided
the commissioning of this
work. $36.99 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

islands (B), until we

parallels the coastline

speed (C). Things
suddenly stop, as if the
wind had died, and we
have a vision: is that
really Mt. Desert Island
we can see off the port
bow, vaguely in the
distance? A chorale of
saxophones seems to
suggest that. We push off
anew as the chorale ends,
and go through all three
themes again---but in
different
instrumentations, and
different keys. At the
final tack-turn, there it
is, for real: Mt. Desert
Island, big as life.
We've made it. As we pull
into the harbor, where
we'll secure the boat for
the night, there's a
feeling of achievement.

680160680276. Ever
since the success of my
series of wind ensemble
works Places in the West,
I've been wanting to
write a companion piece
for national parks on the
other side of the north
American continent. The
earlier work, consisting
of GLACIER, THE
YELLOWSTONE FIRES,
ARCHES, and ZION, spanned
some twenty years of my
composing life, and since
the pieces called for
differing groups of
instruments, and were in
slightly different styles
from each other, I never
considered them to be
connected except in their
subject matter. In their
depiction of both the
scenery and the human
history within these
wondrous places, they had
a common goal: awaking
the listener to the
fragile beauty that is in
them; and calling
attention to the ever
more crucial need for
preservation and
protection of these wild
places, unique in all the
world. With this new
work, commissioned by a
consortium of college and
conservatory wind
ensembles led by the
University of Georgia, I
decided to build upon
that same model---but to
solidify the process. The
result, consisting of
three movements (each
named for a different
national park in the
eastern US), is a
bona-fide symphony. While
the three pieces could be
performed separately,
they share a musical
theme---and also a common
style and
instrumentation. It is a
true symphony, in that
the first movement is
long and expository, the
second is a rather
tightly structured
scherzo-with-trio, and
the finale is a true
culmination of the whole.
The first movement,
Everglades, was the
original inspiration for
the entire symphony.
Conceived over the course
of two trips to that
astonishing place (which
the native Americans
called River of Grass,
the subtitle of this
movement), this movement
not only conveys a sense
of the humid, lush, and
even frightening scenery
there---but also an
overview of the entire
settling-of- Florida
experience. It contains
not one, but two native
American chants, and also
presents a view of the
staggering influence of
modern man on this
fragile part of the
world. Beginning with a
slow unfolding marked
Heavy, humid, the music
soon presents a gentle,
lyrical theme in the solo
alto saxophone. This
theme, which goes through
three expansive phrases
with breaks in between,
will appear in all three
movements of the
symphony. After the mood
has been established, the
music opens up to a rich,
warm setting of a
Cherokee morning song,
with the simple happiness
that this part of Florida
must have had prior to
the nineteenth century.
This music, enveloping
and comforting, gradually
gives way to a more
frenetic, driven section
representative of the
intrusion of the white
man. Since Florida was
populated and developed
largely due to the
introduction of a train
system, there's a
suggestion of the
mechanized iron horse
driving straight into the
heartland. At that point,
the native Americans
become considerably less
gentle, and a second
chant seems to stand in
the way of the intruder;
a kind of warning song.
The second part of this
movement shows us the
great swampy center of
the peninsula, with its
wildlife both in and out
of the water. A new theme
appears, sad but noble,
suggesting that this land
is precious and must be
protected by all the
people who inhabit it. At
length, the morning song
reappears in all its
splendor, until the
sunset---with one last
iteration of the warning
song in the solo piccolo.
Functioning as a scherzo,
the second movement,
Great Smoky Mountains,
describes not just that
huge park itself, but one
brave soul's attempt to
climb a mountain there.
It begins with three
iterations of the
UR-theme (which began the
first movement as well),
but this time as up-tempo
brass fanfares in
octaves. Each time it
begins again, the theme
is a little slower and
less confident than the
previous time---almost as
though the hiker were
becoming aware of the
daunting mountain before
him. But then, a steady,
quick-pulsed ostinato
appears, in a constantly
shifting meter system of
2/4- 3/4 in alteration,
and the hike has begun.
Over this, a slower new
melody appears, as the
trek up the mountain
progresses. It's a big
mountain, and the ascent
seems to take quite
awhile, with little
breaks in the hiker's
stride, until at length
he simply must stop and
rest. An oboe solo, over
several free cadenza-like
measures, allows us (and
our friend the hiker) to
catch our breath, and
also to view in the
distance the rocky peak
before us. The goal is
somehow even more
daunting than at first,
being closer and thus
more frighteningly steep.
When we do push off
again, it's at a slower
pace, and with more
careful attention to our
footholds as we trek over
broken rocks. Tantalizing
little views of the
valley at every
switchback make our
determination even
stronger. Finally, we
burst through a stand of
pines and----we're at the
summit! The immensity of
the view is overwhelming,
and ultimately humbling.
A brief coda, while we
sit dazed on the rocks,
ends the movement in a
feeling of triumph. The
final movement, Acadia,
is also about a trip. In
the summer of 2014, I
took a sailing trip with
a dear friend from North
Haven, Maine, to the
southern coast of Mt.
Desert Island in Acadia
National Park. The
experience left me both
exuberant and exhausted,
with an appreciation for
the ocean that I hadn't
had previously. The
approach to Acadia
National Park by water,
too, was thrilling: like
the difference between
climbing a mountain on
foot with riding up on a
ski-lift, I felt I'd
earned the right to be
there. The music for this
movement is entirely
based on the opening
UR-theme. There's a sense
of the water and the
mysterious, quiet deep
from the very beginning,
with seagulls and bell
buoys setting the scene.
As we leave the harbor,
the theme (in a canon
between solo euphonium
and tuba) almost seems as
if large subaquatic
animals are observing our
departure. There are
three themes (call them
A, B and C) in this
seafaring journey---but
they are all based on the
UR theme, in its original
form with octaves
displaced, in an
upside-down form, and in
a backwards version as
well. (The ocean, while
appearing to be
unchanging, is always
changing.) We move out
into the main channel
(A), passing several
islands (B), until we
reach the long draw that
parallels the coastline
called Eggemoggin Reach,
and a sudden burst of new
speed (C). Things
suddenly stop, as if the
wind had died, and we
have a vision: is that

d by a consortium of 20
high school and

coordinated by Scott
Hanna of the University
of Texas at Austin,
Downshifting is inspired
by Welcher’s joy
of bicycle riding.
Welcher explains in the
program note: When I
decided to write a piece
for band that was
basically entertaining
and uplifting, it made
perfect sense to call it
Downshifting... With
three gears on the front
sprocket and seven on the
rear, it’s
possible to keep
one’s legs going
at a constant speed (for
me, q = 126) while the
bike itself may be moving
very slowly or very
quickly. I determined to
capitalize on this in
writing Downshifting,
which keeps the same
mathematical inner pulse,
‘shifting’
(with a ratchet) as the
terrain changes.. One
of the joys of life for
me is riding my 21-speed
bicycle. As a
basically non-athletic
person who nonetheless
likes to stay in shape, I
have found that riding my
bike provides just the
exercise I need. The
workout is strenuous, but
pleasant—and the
infinite variety of
scenery I pass keeps me
alert and wide awake.Â
When I decided to write a
piece for band that was
basically entertaining
and uplifting, it made
perfect sense to call it
Downshifting.With three
gears on the front
sprocket and seven on the
rear, it’s
possible to keep ones
legs going at a constant
speed (for me,
that’s 126 to the
quarter note) while the
bike itself may be moving
very slowly or very
quickly. I determined
to capitalize on this in
writing the music, which
manages to keep the same
mathematical inner pulse,
“shiftingâ€
(with a ratchet) as the
terrain changes. So
Downshifting begins with
that steady pulse, on a
grid of eighth notes in
2/4 to propel the little
vehicle forward.Â
There’s a joyous
little tune in our heads
as we begin our ride.Â
As the initial thrill of
riding on the flat gives
way to monotony, we stay
in that pulse for the
first minute or so of the
ride. Then, as the
first hill becomes
visible, we shift the
bike down: even though
the eighths are equal,
the pulse feels slower
(and we’re now in
6/8 time). Ultimately
the compound meter shifts
again as the climb
begins, and we’re
now plodding doggedly up
the hill. (The music
reflects all of these
changes, with subtitles
such as “Working
harder—Seeing the
climb, aheadâ€,
“Steady and
committed…the climb
begins!â€,
“Straining against
the gradeâ€,
etc.).There are two
hills, and two long
climbs (but in different
keys, reflecting the
change in scenery).Â
When at last the summit
of the second hill is
reached (“Flying,
Over the Topâ€), we
coast at last down the
other side at breakneck
speed. The initial
joyous melody returns,
but now in a spread-out
coasting pulse. At
the end of the ride, we
slow to a
stop—then take one
last sprint (shifting
five times in the
process) in order to end
on a biker’s
high.Downshifting was
commissioned by a
consortium of fourteen
high school and college
bands, overseen by my
longtime colleague at the
University of Texas,
Scott Hanna. The
piece is dedicated to him
(and to all bicycle
enthusiasts). $175.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

680160038411. Since
the bassoon is my own
instrument, many people
have asked me why I've
written so little for the
instrument. Beyond my
early Concerto Da Camera
for bassoon and small
orchestra, written for
Leonard Sharrow in 1975,
I've not written a single
piece that features the
bassoon as a solo vehicle
(though I have written
three woodwind quintets).
When I first began
composing seriously,
critics were quick to
point out that my
orchestral writing
revealed nothing of my
roots as a woodwind
player--and bassoonists
asked why my pieces
didn't have more bassoon
solos. Perhaps I was so
aware that people were
looking at me as a
bassoonist/composer that
I was determined to
remove that stigma. Now
that my transformation
from performer to
composer is complete,
however, it's time to
re-address my instrument.
I wanted this new piece
to be serious rather than
whimsical. The Wind Won't
Listen represents my
return to the bassoon as
the highly expressive,
poetic soul that it is.
As such, it
shouldn't come as a
surprise that the piece
is based on a poem, and
that the title of the
piece as well as both its
movement titles come from
lines in that poem. I
first read Beth Gylys'
poem Split at the
MacDowell Colony in the
summer of 2001, and it
made a big impression on
me. My personal life had
been ruptured by divorce
in the preceding year.
This poem, with its dry
insistence on observation
rather than feeling,
expressed the wrung-out
state of my emotions at
the time better than any
I had seen. I set it to
music, as a song,
immediately. In this
format, for voice and
piano, I was able to put
a musical note to every
word of the poem. The
first lines of the poem,
Everyone I know is
crying, or should be
crying, became a melody
that haunted me even
without the words.
The work for bassoon and
string quartet is an
outgrowth of the song.
The first movement is
labeled Romanza, and has
a loose formal arch
structure of A-B-C-B-A,
with B and C being fast
sections framed by the
lamenting A music. In
addition to hearing the
bassoon's first notes
attached to the lines
Everyone I know is
crying, there's a sense
of agitation, of loss, of
longing, and at times of
desperation in the music.
At one point, the opening
theme from Tristan even
appears in the strings.
The second
movement follows, without
a real pause--the
pizzicato final chords of
the first movement
becoming the increasingly
aggressive opening chords
of the second. The
recitative is actually a
foreshadowing of the
basic theme that will be
varied, again to the
words of the song: Life
makes itself without us.
Don't let me tell you how
it is. Go out. Look. The
recitative begins in an
anguished state, but
subsides into more gentle
singing by the end, when
it simply falls into an
ostinato 5/8-3/4 pattern
to begin the variations.
Marked Very steady tempo;
Dancing, this set of
variations consists of
three dances, each faster
than the previous. The
first, in the
aforementioned 5/8-3/4
meter, gives way to a 3/8
scherzo, which in turn
takes on a furious 2/4
scurrying motion. The
music becomes breathless,
almost pulse-less, and an
ethereal theme appears in
the violins while the
rushing music continues,
sotto voce in the
bassoon. This new theme
is also from the song:
Why do I do this? The
wind won't listen. The
bassoon re-states its
Everyone I know is crying
melody from the first
movement, and at length
the 5/8-3/4 music
returns, more subdued
this time. The piece ends
on a major-minor chord,
suspended. The
Wind Won't Listen is
dedicated to the man who
commissioned it,
bassoonist Steven
Dibner--who shares my
passion for poetry and
language. --Dan

Garrop’s ROAD
WARRIOR is music of
real-life tragedy,
expressed through the
power of a trumpet/organ
duo. Drawing inspiration
from Neil Peart’s
autobiographical book,
“Ghost Rider:
Travels on the Healing
Road,â€
Garrop’s work
grieves the loss of a
friend’s young son
and the journey to
healing. ROAD
WARRIOR’s
evocative movement titles
are drawn from passages
in Peart’s book:1.
I Am the Ghost Rider2. My
Little Baby Soul3. Are
You With Me
Here?. When Clarion
members Keith Benjamin
(trumpet), Melody Steed
(organ), and I initially
discussed possible topics
for a new piece, Keith
brought up his son
Cameron, who had passed
away at the age of seven
from leukemia. While
Cameron’s life
ended too soon, he left
an indelible and lasting
mark on his those
surrounding him. Keith
asked if I could
commemorate Cameron
musically.In talking over
possible ways to do this,
Keith mentioned the book
Ghost Rider: Travels on
the Healing Road. The
book was written by Neil
Peart, who is well-known
as the longtime drummer
and lyricist of the band
Rush. Peart suffered the
heartbreaking loss of his
daughter in 1997,
followed by his wife 10
months later. In an
effort to work through
the grieving process,
Peart did what his wife
suggested before she
passed: he got onto his
motorcycle and hit the
open road. Ghost Rider
chronicles a year of
Peart’s life in
which he drove for 55,000
miles, zigzagging his way
across Canada, the
western portion of the
United States, Mexico,
and Belize.
Peart’s powerful
story illustrates how he
coped with immense loss
and eventually emerged on
the other side to once
again embrace life. Keith
had found Peart’s
book helpful in dealing
with Cameron’s
death; moreover, Mr.
Peart sent Cameron a
signed cymbal while he
was in the hospital
undergoing treatment.
This unexpected gesture
of compassion and
generosity meant the
world to both Cameron and
Keith.I chose three
phrases from
Peart’s book to
serve as the inspiration
for the movements in Road
Warrior. In the first
movement, I am the ghost
rider, I imagined the
performers to be howling
phantoms that are
haunting drivers on a
nearly deserted highway.
Peart often mentioned
that he felt haunted by
ghosts from the past
while on his journey, and
sometimes felt like a
ghost himself, moving
through an immaterial
world as he rode from
town to town. The second
movement, My little baby
soul, references
Peart’s wording to
define his own inner
essence that he was
trying to protect and
nurture while on his
journey. In this gentle
movement, I capture the
innocence and simplicity
of a newborn soul. The
piece concludes with Are
you with me here? In this
movement, I depict the
performers as they search
to find connections to
those they have lost, and
to those still
living.Over the course of
his travels, Peart kept
up a steady letter
correspondence with his
close friend Brutus. In
one of his first letters,
he repeatedly asks Brutus
if he is with him in
spirit. I found it to be
very poignant that while
in his self-imposed
exile, Peart discovered
that he still needed
connections to humanity.I
wish to thank Mr. Peart
for granting me
permission to use his
phrases as the movement
titles, and for serving
as the inspiration for
Road Warrior. Rarely do
any of us make it through
our lives without being
touched by the loss of
someone dear to us. I
found Peart’s
insights into his
grieving and recovery
process to be insightful,
eloquent, and
surprisingly comforting.
His journey is a touching
reminder that with enough
fortitude and time, we
can work through what
fate deals us and
continue down our own
road of life. $29.99 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 24 hours - In Stock | | |

Pacific Dreams
describes the experience
of Miguel, a traveling
composer from Spain who,
feeling somewhat
alienated from his
homeland, is wandering
through an area of Sydney
known as The Rocks. At a
small outdoor market in a
typical street of this
oldcolonial
neighbourhood, he
discovers a print of
William DeShazos painting
Pacific Dreams Portrayed
in the painting is the
surf of one of the exotic
islands in the Pacific.
Next, with the impressive
Sydney Harbour Bridge
looming over the
narrowstreets of The
Rocks, he envisions
sultry Pacific beaches.
Suddenly a theme he once
composed about the lakes
in Japan comes to him. Is
it the Asian influences
present in cosmopolitan
Sydney that bring this
theme to mind? Or perhaps
the waters aroundSydney,
over which he could sail
to Tahiti? He is
uncertain. Could this
same theme be used to
create a new composition
about his feelings for
the metropolis Sydney?
How then to work his
Pacific Dreams into the
mix? Miguel is certainly
no fan ofHawaiian music.
Mayby he could use the
vocabularies of islands
like Hawaii and Tahiti,
their beautiful vowel
combinations being sung
ad libitum by a mixed
choir.With these ideas
and his newly purchased
print of Pacific Dreams,
he boards the Metroat
Circular Quay. He has a
final glimpse of the
harbour and the Sydney
Opera House as the train
races into the ground. On
to the hotel! To work! He
must compose!Maestoso :
Miguel is impressed as he
gazes upon the Sydney
Harbour Bridge. And yet,
hewants to go away from
this city. Away, to an
exotic island in the
Pacific.Steady Rock : In
the Rocks, musicians are
playing at a square.
Miguel basks in the
atmosphere but at the
same time he is
fantasizing about Hawaii
and Tahiti.Andante
Lamentoso :In his hotel
room, Miguel is feeling
sad and lonely in this
big city. He takes
comfort in his Pacific
Dreams.Allegro : Miguel
boards the boat that
takes him from Darling
Harbour to Circular Quay.
In his mind he is
traveling on to Hawaii.
Or is ithome, where the
bolero is playing? He is
pulled back to reality by
the skyline of
Sydney.
Wir
schlüpfen in die Haut
von Miguel und reisen mit
ihm nach Australien.
Einigermaßen
entfremdet von seiner
spanischen Heimat
schlendert er durch das
Viertel The Rocks in
Sydney. Auf einem kleinen
Markt entdeckt er einen
Druck des Gemäldes
Pacific Dreams von
William DeShazo. Das Bild
stellt die Meeresbrandung
auf einer exotischen
Insel im Pazifik dar.
Während die
eindrucksvolle Harbour
Bridge von Sidney vor ihm
auftaucht, ist er in
Gedanken bei den
heißen Stränden im
Stillen Ozean. Auf einmal
kommt ihm das Thema in
den Sinn, das er einst
über die Gewässer
Japans komponiert hatte.
Liegt es an den
asiatischen
Einflüssen, die im
kosmopolitischen Sydney
so vielfältig
vertretensind? Oder sind
es die Wasser rund um
Sydney, über die er
nach Tahiti segeln
könnte? Er ist sich
unsicher. Könnte er
genau dieses Thema für
eine neue Komposition
über die Metropole
Sydney verwenden? Wie
sollte er seine Träume
vom Pazifik, seine
Pacific Dreams, in
diese Mixtur einbringen?
Vielleicht könnte er
den Wortschatz von Inseln
wie Hawaii und Tahiti
für seine Komposition
verwenden. Und einen
gemischten Chor die
schönen
Vokalverbindungen ad
libitum singen lassen.
Mit diesen Ideen im Kopf
steigt er in die Metro am
Circular Quay. Auf ins
Hotel und frisch ans
Werk! Jetzt muss er
einfach
komponieren.... $110.95 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 2 to 3 weeks | | |
