English-German-French-

from Across the Water
was commissioned by
Pennsylvania Symphonic
Winds - Phil Evans,
Founder and Director.
Phil Evans hails from the
UK and served for 25
years in the Band of HM
Royal Marines. Now
resident in the USA he
founded Pennsylvania
Symphonic Winds in 2008,
giving them the tag line
‘An American Band
with a British
Accent’, as he
wanted to combine the
best of both
countries’ band
traditions. With this in
mind, composer Philip
Sparke decided to create
a suite of British folk
songs, scored with an
American influence to
fulfil the philosophy of
the band’s tag
line. The three
movements, which are
played without a break,
are based on the
following folk
songs,which come from all
corners of the British
Isles: The Three
Ravens & The Cruiskeen
Lawn, The Lark in
the Clear Air and
The Piper o’
Dundee & Men of
Harlech.
Songs from
Across the Water werd
geschreven in opdracht
van de Pennsylvania
Symphonic Winds, waarvan
Phil Evans de oprichter
en tevens de dirigent is.
Phil Evans is geboren en
getogen in het Verenigd
Koninkrijk, hij was 25
jaar lang lid van de Band
of HM Royal Marines.
Tegenwoordig woont hij in
de VS, waar hij in 2008
de Pennsylvania Symphonic
Winds oprichtte, met als
motto ‘An American
band with a British
Accent’ (Een
Amerikaans blaasorkest
met een Brits accent),
aangezien hij de
blaasmuziektradities uit
beide landen wilde
combineren. Met dit
gegeven in zijn
achterhoofd creëerde
componist Philip Sparke
een suite van Britse
folksongs, georkestreerd
met een Amerikaanse
invloedom de filosofie
achter het eerdergenoemde
motto eer aan te doen. De
drie delen, die zonder
onderbreking worden
gespeeld, zijn gebaseerd
op de volgende folksongs,
die afkomstig zijn uit
alle hoeken van de Britse
Eilanden: The Three
Ravens & The Cruiskeen
Lawn, The Lark in
the Clear Air en
The Piper o’
Dundee & Men of
Harlech.

gab, da er das Beste aus
der
Blasorchester-Tradition
beider Länder
miteinander vereinen
wollte. Aus diesem Grund
hat der Komponist Philip
Sparke eine Suite aus
britischen Volksliedern
komponiert, wobei
dieInstrumentierung einen
amerikanischen Einfluss
hat, um so die
Philosophie des
Orchesterbeinamens zu
verwirklichen. Die drei
Sätze, die ohne Pause
gespielt werden, basieren
auf den folgenden
Volksliedern, die aus
allen Gegenden der
britischen Inseln
stammen: The Three

Traditional Christmas
Spiritual. Berg's
fantastic setting of this
beloved American
Christmas spiritual for
advanced tenor-bass
choirs tells a story of
hope and meaning. The
various textures
throughout the a cappella
arrangement with solos
add much variety and
musical interest. A
holiday programming
must!. This beloved
American Christmas
Spiritual, like all
spirituals and/or folk
songs, tells a story.
This is a story of hope
and meaning. The
introductory solo call
and response (mm. 1-7) is
hymnic in nature, just to
get us started. (Think of
it as an effective head
fake!) The entrance at m.
8 from the upper three
voices (we'll call them
the trio part henceforth)
is pivotal. They set the
stage for the
conversation between the
singers and the soloist
for the rest of the song.
From this point, the song
is basically a Jazz Trio
in vocal form. The bass
singers take on the role
of the cool dude in the
back wearing dark glasses
and a beret playing the
string bass. They provide
the driving force for the
forward movement of the
entire song. The trio
part, basically tenors 1
& 2 and baritones,
take on the role of the
keyboard providing
chordal structure and
syncopation. Their job is
to fill the listener's
ear with sound and
rhythm. The soloist tells
the story using the known
melody and text with
appropriate improv
opportunities to keep the
listeners focused on the
message of the song.
There is enough
repetition to make for
easy learning, but this
also means that the
chords need to snap into
position cleanly every
time. The Verses are
easily identified (there
are three) and presented
with some small
variations in Verse 3
(see mm. 56-58...this
only happens once). The
Refrain (mm. 30-37) is
the part of the song
where the singers switch
from the Jazz Trio role
and actually become a
Men's Choral Ensemble.
This Refrain is repeated
after Verse 3 at mm.
66-71. Between verses 2
& 3, there is not a
refrain. Instead, there
is a bridge repeated from
the introductory
material, but used this
time to move us into a
new key signature. This
can be a very exciting
moment for the singers as
well as the listeners!
Measures 72-75 is known
in the business as a
vamp. It can be repeated
once and then move on, OR
it can be repeated
multiple times, depending
on the comfort level of
the soloist and the
response of the audience.
It is important that
there be a clear signal
from the conductor as to
how to end the vamp and
move effectively to the
actual coda of the song.
The ending should be sung
with tight control that
only looks like reckless
abandon! Faces bright;
words clean; melody
clear; rhythms precise!

Hungarian Folk. In
2014, Chanticleer
commissioned me to make a
new arrangement of the
Hungarian-Romani folk
song Jarba, Mare Jarba
for their 2014 touring
program. Passed down
orally through the Romani
communities, this
beautiful folk song, with
text in a language called
Beas (beh-osh), speaks of
a deep longing to visit
one's homeland, a place
where the singer can
never return. Chanticleer
consists of twelve men
whose vocal ranges span
from low bass to high
soprano, equivalent to
the range of a mixed
choir of women and men. I
composed slow sections of
original material to
represent the singers'
longing to return home;
these are interspersed
with the folk song's
traditional fast
sections. The
incorporated shouts and
calls in the score are
typically found in the
performance of Central
European folk songs. I
hope you enjoy singing
this new version of
Jarba, Mare Jarba that
contains all of the vigor
and excitement of the
Chanticleer version.
PERFORMANCE NOTES All
spoken sounds (indicated

680160901043. Key: G
minor. Nordanvind
is a tour de force
symphonic rhapsody that
is built on three
Scandinavian folk songs.
Composer Carl Strommen
has composed these
Viking-influenced
melodies into a concert
setting that brings out
all of the history of the
Scandinavian people. The
piece is at times bold
and aggressive, at other
times beautiful. Carl
employs all of the
instrumental colors of
the concert band to
create a new work for
more advanced
ensembles. Modern
Scandinavians are
descendants of the
Vikings, an adventuresome
people who were known for
their love of the sea,
their naval prowess, and
as fierce fighters . The
Scandinavian Vikings were
warriors from Denmark,
Norway, and Sweden who
traded, raided and
settled in various parts
of Europe, Russia, the
North Atlantic islands,
and the northeastern
coast of North America
.Starting around 1850,
over one million Swedes
left their homeland for
the United States in
search of religious
freedom and open farm
land . Augustana College
was founded in 1860 by
graduates of Swedish
universities and is
located on the
Mississippi River in Rock
Island, Illinois . Home
of the
“Vikings,â€
Augustana College is the
oldest Swedish- American
institution of higher
learning in the United
States . This powerful
and lively piece takes
inspiration from Swedish
history and from Swedish
folk songs and hymns
.Havsdrake (Dragon of the
Sea)The Nordanvind or
“North Windâ€
blows a cold wind during
a journey of a group of
courageous Viking rowers
. The
“Dragon-shipâ€
or long ships designed
for raiding and war was a
sophisticated, fast ship
able to navigate in very
shallow water . To
musically portray these
magnificent seafaring
vessels, the director is
encouraged to use an
Ocean Drum (or a rain
stick) during the
introduction . Wind
players may consider
blowing air through their
instruments to suggest
the North wind . Adding
men’s voices to
accompany the haunting
low brass and percussive
“rowerâ€
sounds can be helpful in
creating the dark and
ominous portrayal of
Viking adventurers
.Slangpolska efter Byss -
KalleIn Sweden, a
“polska†is a
partner dance where the
dancers spin each other
(släng in Swedish
“to sling or
tossâ€) .
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle is attributed to
Byss-Kalle, who was a
notable Swedish folk
musician, specifically a
nyckelharpa player .
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle is a traditional
“polskaâ€
dance song most often
played on the Nyckelharpa
or keyed fiddle and is
commonly heard in pubs
and at festive events
throughout Sweden .
Approximately 10,000
nyckelharpa players live
in Sweden today, and the
Swedish and the American
Nyckelharpa Associations
are dedicated to this
Swedish National
instrument . The director
is encouraged to share
video and audio examples
of the nyckelharpa
playing the original
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle .Tryggare Kan Ingen
Vara (Children of the
Heavenly Father)Tryggare
Kan Ingen Vara Is a
traditional Swedish
melody, possibly of
German roots, and was
believed to be arranged
as a hymn by the Swedish
hymn writer, Karolina
Wilhelmina Sandell-Berg
(1832–1903) . As a
daughter of a Swedish
Lutheran minister, she
began writing poems as a
teenager and is said to
have written over 1,700
different texts . There
are two different
accounts as to the
inspiration for this hymn
. The first story is that
Lina (as she was called)
wrote the hymn to honor
her father and to say
thank you to him for
raising her and
protecting her . A second
belief is of her
witnessing the tragic
death of her father . She
and her father were on a
boat, when a wave threw
her father overboard . It
was said that the
profound effect of
watching her father drown
is what caused Lina to
write the text to this
hymn . Although this is a
treasured song to people
of Swedish descent
everywhere, it speaks to
all people about a father
tending and nourishing
his children, and
protecting them from evil

Yi’s most
performed and most
beloved choral music is a
series of 10 Chinese folk
songs adapted for
S.A.T.B. Chorus
(published in 3 volumes:
312-41731, 312-41732,
312-41733). This special
version is a setting of
the familiar collection,
adapted for
children’s chorus
and
strings. Remembering
when I studied
composition in the
Central Conservatory of
Music in Beijing, I
learned to sing hundreds
of Chinese folk songs
collected from more than
twenty provinces and
fifty ethnic groups, and
went to countryside to
collect original folk
music every year. I
got to know that the folk
songs are a mirror of
people’s daily
lives, their thoughts and
sentiments, local customs
and manners. They are
sung in regional dialects
and use the idioms of
everyday speech with
their particular
intonations, accents and
cadences. This
correlation between
speech and music
distinguishes folk songs
of one region from
another. I learned
all songs by heart and
sang them back in the
exams every week.Â
They melted in my blood
and became my natural
music language. The
more I walk into the
music life,the more I
treasure the rich culture
I have learned from my
homeland. When I
became the
Composer-in-Residence of
Chanticleer and was
invited to write the
first work for its
concert program, as well
as another version for
its
Singing-In-The-Schools
program, I decided to
introduce A Set of
Chinese Folk Songs to my
American audiences, and
add a new flavor to
Chanticleer’srich
repertoire. The work
includes ten folk songs,
taken from eight
provinces (Anhui,
Shaanxi, Yunnan, Shanxi,
Taiwan, Sinkiang, Jiangsu
and Guizhou) and five
ethnic groups (Han,
Hasake, Uighur, Miao and
Yi). I arranged them
for choirs (men’s
or children’s
chorus) with various
combinations in voices,
to be sung mostly in
Chinese, some in
English.  From the
mysterious mountain songs
originally sung in the
open air with high and
long notes that can carry
over great distances, the
sweet and delicate
melodies of young love
compared with nature, the
humorous antiphony by
little children, and the
lively dancing tune by
villagers, you may get an
idea of various music
styles in Chinese folk
songs according to
geographic, ethnic and
linguistic differences,
and appreciate the beauty
of the Chinese folk
music. The pure choir
sound and the
sophisticated singing by
Chanticleer, in terms of
pitches, language and
musical expressions,
really attract and
inspire me to create some
more new works in the
years to come. In
thisedition of A Set of
Chinese Folk Songs for
standard SATB mixed choir
(with piano rehearsal
score), I divided these
ten songs into three
volumes. They are
Fengyang Song, The
Flowing Stream, Guessing,
Thinking of My Darling,
Mayila, Jasmine Flower,
Riding on a Mule,
Awariguli, Diu Diu Deng,
andMountain Song and
Dancing Tune.—Chen

region, FOR THEMYSTIC
HARMONY is a 10-minute
inspirational work in
homage to Norwood and
Elizabeth Dixon,patrons
of the Fort Worth
Symphony and the Van
Cliburn Competition.
Welcher draws melodic
flavorfrom five American
hymns, spirituals, and
folk tunes of the 19th
century. The last of
these sources toappear is
the hymn tune For the
Beauty of the Earth,
whose third stanza is the
quatrain: “For the
joy of earand eye, For
the heart and
mind’s delight,
For the mystic harmony,
Linking sense to sound
and sight,â€giving
rise to the work’s
title. This work,
commissioned for a
consortium of high school
bands in the north Dallas
area, is my fifteenth
maturework for wind
ensemble (not counting
transcriptions). When I
asked Todd Dixon, the
band director
whospearheaded this
project, what kind of a
work he most wanted, he
first said
“something
that’s basically
slow,†butwanted to
leave the details to me.
During a long subsequent
conversation, he
mentioned that his
grandparents,Norwood and
Elizabeth Dixon, were
prime supporters of the
Fort Worth Symphony,
going so far as to
purchase anumber of high
quality instruments for
that orchestra. This
intrigued me, so I asked
more about his
grandparentsand was
provided an 80-page
biographical sketch.
Reading that article,
including a long section
about theirdevotion to
supporting a young man
through the rigors of the
Van Cliburn International
Piano Competition fora
number of years, moved me
very much. Norwood and
Elizabeth Dixon
weren’t just
supporters of the arts;
theywere passionate
lovers of music and
musicians. I determined
to make this work a
testament to that love,
and tothe religious faith
that sustained them both.
The idea of using extant
hymns was also suggested
by Todd Dixon,and this
10-minute work is the
result.I have employed
existing melodies in
several works, delving
into certain kinds of
religious music more than
a fewtimes. In seeking
new sounds, new ways of
harmonizing old tunes,
and the contrapuntal
overlaying of one
tunewith another, I was
able to make works like
ZION (using 19th-century
Revivalist hymns) and
LABORING SONGS(using
Shaker melodies) reflect
the spirit of the
composers who created
these melodies, without
sounding likepastiches or
medleys. I determined to
do the same with this new
work, with the added
problem of
employingmelodies that
were more familiar. I
chose five tunes from the
19th century: hymns,
spirituals, and
folk-tunes.Some of these
are known by differing
titles, but they all
appear in hymnals of
various Christian
denominations(with
various titles and
texts). My idea was to
employ the tunes without
altering their notes,
instead using aconstantly
modulating sense of
harmony —
sometimes leading to
polytonal harmonizations
of what are
normallysimple four-chord
hymns.The work begins and
ends with a repeated
chime on the note C: a
reminder of steeples,
white clapboard
churchesin the country,
and small church organs.
Beginning with a
Mixolydian folk tune of
Caribbean origin
presentedtwice with
layered entrances, the
work starts with a
feeling of mystery and
gentle sorrow. It
proceeds, after along
transition, into a second
hymn that is sometimes
connected to the sea
(hence the sensation of
water andwaves throughout
it). This tune, by John
B. Dykes (1823-1876), is
a bit more chromatic and
“shifty†than
mosthymn-tunes, so I
chose to play with the
constant sensation of
modulation even more than
the original does. Atthe
climax, the familiar
spiritual “Were you
there?†takes over,
with a double-time
polytonal feeling
propelling itforward at
“Sometimes it
causes me to
tremble.â€Trumpets
in counterpoint raise the
temperature, and the
tempo as well, leading
the music into a third
tune (ofunknown
provenance, though it
appears with different
texts in various hymnals)
that is presented in a
sprightlymanner. Bassoons
introduce the melody, but
it is quickly taken up by
other instruments over
three
“verses,â€cons
tantly growing in
orchestration and volume.
A mysterious second tune,
unrelated to this one,
interrupts it inall three
verses, sending the
melody into unknown
regions.The final melody
is “For the Beauty
of the Earth.†This
tune by Conrad Kocher
(1786-1872) is commonly
sung atThanksgiving
— the perfect
choice to end this work
celebrating two people
known for their
generosity.Keeping the
sense of constant
modulation that has been
present throughout, I
chose to present this
hymn in threegrowing
verses, but with a twist:
every four bars, the
“key†of the
hymn seems to shift
— until the
“Lord of all,
toThee we praiseâ€
melody bursts out in a
surprising compound
meter. This, as it turns
out, was the
“mystery
tuneâ€heard earlier
in the piece. After an
Ivesian, almost polytonal
climax, the Coda begins
over a long B( pedal. At
first,it seems to be a
restatement of the first
two phrases of “For
the Beauty†with
long spaces between them,
but it soonchanges to a
series of
“Amenâ€
cadences, widely
separated by range and
color. These, too, do not
conform to anykey, but
instead overlay each
other in ways that are
unpredictable but
strangely comforting.The
third verse of “For
the Beauty of the
Earth†contains
this quatrain:“For
the joy of ear and eye,
–For the heart and
mind’s delightFor
the mystic harmonyLinking
sense to sound and
sightâ€and it was
from this poetry that I
drew the title for the
present work. It is my
hope that audiences and
performerswill find
within it a sense of
grace: more than a little
familiar, but also quite
new and unexpected. $150.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 24 hours - In Stock | | |

“Lord of all,
toThee we praiseâ€
melody bursts out in a
surprising compound
meter. This, as it turns
out, was the
“mystery
tuneâ€heard earlier
in the piece. After an
Ivesian, almost polytonal
climax, the Coda begins
over a long B( pedal. At
first,it seems to be a
restatement of the first
two phrases of “For
the Beauty†with
long spaces between them,
but it soonchanges to a
series of
“Amenâ€
cadences, widely
separated by range and
color. These, too, do not
conform to anykey, but
instead overlay each
other in ways that are
unpredictable but
strangely comforting.The
third verse of “For
the Beauty of the
Earth†contains
this quatrain:“For
the joy of ear and eye,
–For the heart and
mind’s delightFor
the mystic harmonyLinking
sense to sound and
sightâ€and it was
from this poetry that I
drew the title for the
present work. It is my
hope that audiences and
performerswill find
within it a sense of
grace: more than a little
familiar, but also quite
new and unexpected. $25.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 24 hours - In Stock | | |

English. This
thorough, well-researched
exploration of the
origins and development
of a rich and varied
African American musical
tradition features
authentic versions of
over 40 folk songs. These
include such time-honored
selections as Wake Up
Jonah, Rock Chariot,
Wonder Where Is My
Brother Gone, Traveling
Shoes, It's Getting Late
in the Evening, Dark Was
the Night, I'm Crossing
Jordan River, Russia, Let
That Moon Alone, Long
John, Rosie, Motherless
Children, three versions
of John Henry, and many
others.
One of
the first and best
surveys in its field,
Negro Folk Music, U.S.A.
has long been admired for
its perceptive history
and analysis of the
origins and musical
qualities of typical
forms, ranging from
simple cries and calls to
anthems and spirituals,
ballads, and the blues.
Traditional dances and
musical instruments are
examined as well. The
author---a well-known
novelist, folklorist,
journalist, and
specialist in African and
African American
cultures---offers a
discerning study of the
influence of this genre
on popular music, with
particular focus on how
jazz developed out of
folk traditions. $14.95 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |
