inches. A
fascination with
polycultural synergy
between diverse literary
textsdrives the
inspiration for much of
Mohammed Fairouz’s
prodigiouscreative
output, including
instrumental music as
well as vocal. Inhis
profound and extensive
essay preceding the
score, Fairouz shedslight
on how Edgar Allen
Poe’s “Israfel”
relates to the
prophetsand prophesies of
the Quran, Old Testament,
and New Testament.The
eight-movement quartet
may be heard as a
dramatic galleryof
portraits and of
story-telling,
flourishing in a
post-traditionallanguage
that is at once
vernacular and spiritual,
Middle Easternand
Western. The complete set
of score and parts is
included in
thispublication.
(See
pages 2-3 of score for
clear distinction of
paragraphs,
etc.)Prophesies, by
Mohammed FairouzEdgar
Allen Poe’s rendition
of Israfel was the point
of departure for the
final movement of my
previous stringquartet
which is titled The Named
Angels. At the opening of
his poem, Poe evokes the
Quran:“And the angel
Israfel, whose
heartstrings are a lute,
and who has the sweetest
voice of all God’s
creatures.”This informs
the first lines of the
poem that, in turn, gave
me the title for the
final movement of The
Named
Angels,“Israfel’s
Spell”:In Heaven a
spirit doth dwell“Whose
heartstrings are a
lute”None sing so
wildly wellAs the angel
Israfel,And the giddy
stars (so legends
tell),Ceasing their
hymns, attend the spellOf
his voice, all mute.It is
the end of that poem,
however, that is the
starting point for the
current quartet,
Prophesies, which
concernsitself with
mortal prophets rather
than eternal Angelic
spirits.If I could
dwellWhere IsrafelHath
dwelt, and he where I,He
might not sing so wildly
wellA mortal melody,While
a bolder note than this
might swellFrom my lyre
within the sky.Islamic
thought has asked us to
look at the example of
the prophets. That’s
significant because of
the fact thatJoseph and
all the prophets were
human beings with the
flaws of human beings. No
prophet was perfect,
andIslamic tradition has
never asked its followers
to aspire to the example
of the Angels, the
perfected ones. Instead
weare given the gift of
our prophets. While The
Named Angels drew on the
motion and energy of
everlasting
spirits,Prophesies is a
depiction of the
movements within our own
mortal coil.This quartet
is a continuation of a
long tradition of Muslim
artists telling their
stories and singing their
songs.Many of these
renditions are, in fact,
figurative and (contrary
to popular belief) the
Quran contains no
“Islamicedict”
prohibiting figurative
renditions of the figures
described in the Old
Testament, New Testament,
or Quran.The majority of
artists, however, have
preferred eternal and
abstract forms such as
words and their
calligraphicrepresentatio
ns, poems (Yusuf and
Zuleikha or the
Conference of Birds come
immediately to mind),
architecture,and many
other non-figurative art
forms to the
representation of man.
These cold, ancient, and
everlasting shapesof
unending time flourished,
and the divine infinity
of representing geometric
forms gained favor over
the placementof the
explicit representation
of mankind and our own
likeness at the center of
the universes.Adding the
string quartet to these
forms which express the
recursive spheres of
heavens and earth
abstractly shouldexplain
why I have chosen to
render higher things
through the use of music
without the addition of
words or anyother
art-form. It is the
abstract art of pure
form, in which all is
form and all is content,
which compels me.
Thisquartet should be
seen as no more
programmatic than the
arches of the Great
Mosque at Cordoba.The
first movement, Yāqub
(Jacob), is slow, quiet
and prayerful. It evokes
the patient sorrow of a
slow choraledeveloping
over time as it coaxes
our pulse out of the
ticking of a clock-like
meter that defines our
day-to-day livesand into
a divine eternity.The
second, Saleh, imagines
the spirit of that
desert-prophet through
the use of a Liwa; the
dance-sequence that
hasbeen such a prevalent
form of expression in the
Arabian Peninsula for
much of our recorded
history.The third
movement is titled
Dawoōd, and it is
emblematic of the beloved
Prophet, King, and
Psalmist, David.Though it
has no lyrics, the
movement functions as a
dabkeh (an ancient dance
native to the Levant) and
also “sets”the
opening of Psalm 100
(Make a joyful noise unto
the Lord, all ye lands).
This line is never set to
music or sung inthe
quartet but is evoked
through the rhythmic
shape of the violin part
which imitates the
phonology and rhythmof my
speaking the opening line
in the Hebrew and
develops the contours of
that line incessantly
throughout
themovement.3The fourth
movement is an ode to
Yousef (Joseph) and
relates to the first
movement in tempo and
tone just as
Josephrelates to Jacob,
his father. Together, the
first and fourth
movements provide a sort
of Lamentation and
relief.Joseph had the
appearance of a noble
angel, but he was very
much a human being. And
the story of this
particularprophet had
tragic beginnings many
years before he found
himself in a position of
power in Egypt. Back in
his youth,still among the
Israelites, Joseph
experienced a series of
revelations through his
dreams that spoke of his
impendingcareer in
prophecy. He confided his
dreams to his father, the
Prophet Jacob, who told
his son of the greatness
thatawaited him in his
future only to have his
brothers throw him into a
well and leave him for
dead. Joseph
eventuallyfound his way
from Israel to Egypt and
rose out of slavery into
a position of power.
Meanwhile, famine engulfs
Israel.Forty years pass,
and back in the land of
Jacob and Rachel, of
Joseph’s brothers and
Abraham’s tribe, Israel
wasnot spared the effects
of the famine. They
sorely lacked Joseph’s
prophecy and his vision.
The Qur’an then tells
usthat Jacob, sensing
Joseph, sends the other
brothers to Egypt
instructing them to come
back with food and
grain.Arriving in Egypt,
they unwittingly appear
before Joseph. They
don’t recognize their
little brother who has
risen toa position of
might, dressed in his
Egyptian regalia. They
ask for the food and the
grain.After some
conversation, Joseph is
no longer able to contain
his emotion. Overcome, he
reveals himself to his
nowterrified brothers. He
embraces them. He asks
them eagerly, “How is
our father?” Joseph
gives them the gift of
thefood and the grain
that they came in search
of. He relieves them from
hunger and alleviates
their fear. He sendsthem
back with proof that he
is alive, and it is this
joyful proof from the
miraculous hands of a
prophet that bringsback
the ancient Jacob’s
vision after 40 years of
blindness.In this story,
I am struck by the fact
that Joseph may not have
made the decision to
forgive his brothers on
thespot, but that
something inside the
prophet’s soul found
forgiveness and peace for
the brothers who had so
gravelywronged him at
some point along his
journey. I would suspect
this point to have been
present at Joseph’s
inception,even before he
had ever been
wronged.This is proof, if
we needed it, that
Joseph’s angel-like
beauty was not only
physical and external,
but also internalas well:
Joseph possessed a
profound loveliness of
spirit that bound his
appearance and his soul.
In Joseph, formand soul
are one.Time is to
musicians what light is
to a painter. In this
way, the story of Joseph
also shows us that time
can affectour perception
of even the most tragic
wounds. In fact, the most
common Arabic word for
“human being” is
insaan,which shares its
roots with the word
insaa, “to forget.”
While our ability to
remember is essential to
how we learnabout
ourselves, our capacity
to “forgive and
forget” may also be one
of our great gifts as
human beings.The fifth
movement follows my ode
to Joseph with a
structural memory of
Mūsa (Moses). The
movement consistsentirely
of descending motifs
which I constructed as an
indication of Moses’
descending movement as he
emergedto his people from
the heights of Mt. Sinai.
The music is constructed
in five phrases which
function as a
formalreference to the
five books of Moses, the
Pentateuch. The movement
is placed as the fifth of
the quartet for the
samereason.While Joseph
is always evoked as
supremely beautiful in
the Books of Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam,
Suleiman(Solomon) is
described as surpassing
in his quicksilver
intelligence. This
movement is composed of a
seven-partriddle which
passes by in an instant
but can be caught by the
attentive listener. From
Solomon, we work our
wayback to Yishak (Isaac)
in a seventh movement
that evokes Isaac’s
literal meaning in Arabic
and Hebrew: laughter.The
eighth and final movement
of this quartet is named
for the Patriarch of the
entire Book: Ibrahim
(Abraham). Itrelates to
Isaac just as Joseph
relates to Jacob; they
are father and son. The
lines are prayerful and
contemplative;the form of
the music evolves from a
fugue joining together
many different forms of
prayer into a single
tapestry ofcounterpoint,
to the cyclical form of
this entire quartet which
is rendered through the
motion of pilgrims
circling theKaaba (cube)
in Mecca — a structure
which was built by
Abraham for Hagaar and
their son Ismail.These
are just some of the
figures that are
cherished by all three of
the Middle Eastern
monotheisms
(Judaism,Christianity,
and Islam) that the
Qur’an refers to
collectively as Ahl
Al-Kitab. This Arabic
phrase is most
commonlytranslated as
“The People of the
Book,” but here the
most common translation
is a flawed one: the
Arabic word“ahl”
means “family” and
not just “people.” A
better translation would
be “Family of the
Book.” Each of the
eightmovements of
Prophesies grows from a
single musical cell.This
quartet is a family
album.—Mohammed Fairouz

680160919949. A new
day. A new event. A new
opportunity. We look
forward to these things
and the potential they
hold. We live our lives
looking forward, but we
understand them looking
backward (a thought of
Danish philosopher Soren
Kierkegaard). We do not
always know what the
future may hold, but we
must remember: first,
there are no guarantees
beyond the time and
opportunity we are given
to do good. Second,
change around us is
inevitable. Finally, and
the most important
aspect, we have choices.
This lesson is fixed to
the composer's office
door: Today is the
greatest day of your
life, if you want it to
be. Why not look forward
to the Promise on the
Horizon and the
possibilities for
greatness that lie within
it? The opening motif of
this concert fanfare is
purposely inquisitive as
the piece seeks to
establish its first
steps. The subtle shift
at measure 37 and again
at measure 69 are
reminders of the
challenges that await us
during the journey. Here
again it is a matter of
choice - do we choose to
let circumstances define
us, or do we define the
circumstances? The
section at 93 is a
resounding answer that we
will move barriers,
overcome obstacles and
keep our vision looking
forward. The piece builds
toward an exciting
conclusion from measure
127 onward. The piece
reinforces several basic
rhythmic patterns in 6/8
time. As a number of
these rhythms are
repeated, it provides an
easy opportunity for the
entire ensemble to grow
more comfortable
performing in this meter.
While it is a
fanfare-type piece,
remind young musicians to
play with lightness and
precision, rather than
intensity in volume.
Maintaining this style of
articulation and accuracy
helps the rhythms in 6/8
time maintain their
buoyancy. It is vital
that each musician
listens for the melody
and balances their part,
especially in moments
where the melody is
passed between sections.
If vibes are not
available, a second bell
set can be employed in
its place. It is hoped
that this piece is an
uplifting way to open
your next concert, and a
meaningful opportunity
for you to discuss the
power of making positive
choices with your
students in the ensemble
(as a reminder, regular
practicing of their
instrument is a positive
choice). Wishing you and
your ensemble well as you
look to the Promise on
the Horizon.

polyrhythms and
polymeters simultaneous
combinations of more than
one rhythmic pattern
exist in todays music,
with some being so common
they could be referred to
as rhythm licks. This
book presents a unique
and comprehensive
approach to polymetric
applications of various
rhythms over common chord
progressions and song
forms in 3/4 and 4/4,
written primarily for
instruments with chordal
capabilities. Non-chordal
instrumentalists
interested in rhythmic
development and
contemporary phrasing may
also benefit. Polymetric
rhythms will force a
variety of harmonic
anticipations and delays
which can have a profound
and beneficial effect on
harmonic, melodic, and
improvisational phrasing.
In addition, the focused
attention and expanded
awareness needed to
master these exercises
can also help in your
sensitivity and response

680160684472. The
violin concerto is
commissioned by Friends
of Dresden Music
Foundation for American
soloist Mira Wang and the
New York Philharmonic and
Staatskapelle Dresden as
an American commemoration
of the reconstruction of
the Dresden Frauenkirche,
60 years after its
destruction in World War
II by American and
British Forces. The world
premiere is given at the
Semperoper in Dresden,
Germany, on October 9, 10
& 11, 2005, conducted
by Ivan Fischer. Full of
excitement and inner
power, the musical image
is vivid, energetic,
sometimes lyrical and
sometimes dramatic. The
major angular thematic
material (a three note
motive) consists of big
leaps in interval (a
perfect fourth downward
and then a minor seventh
upward, first introduced
by the violin solo in
measures 27-29). Except
for the cadenzas which
stand at the middle
(Rehearsal E, measure
127) and the two ends of
the piece as a frame, the
virtuosic violin solo
line is always
accompanied by the ever
moving and growing
textures in the
background. The rests
between long and short
phrases symbolize the
space in Chinese
paintings. The Beijing
Opera reciting tune, and
the fingerings to produce
sliding tones in the
performance of the
Chinese fiddle erhu are
also borrowed in the
writing and the
performing of the western
instruments. The musical
imagination of the violin
concerto came from an
ancient Chinese poem with
the same title, written
by Du Fu (712-770) in
Tang Dynasty. Happy Rain
on a Spring Night by Du
Fu (712-770 in Tang
Dynasty) Happy rain comes
in time, When spring is
in its prime. With night
breeze it will fall, And
quietly moisten all.
Clouds darken wild roads,
Light brightens a little
boat. Saturated at dawn,
With flowers blooming the
town. (English
translation by Chen Yi
from the original poem in
Chinese) The following is
the poem in its original
Chinese form, and the
detailed introduction on
the structural plan of
the violin concerto
Spring in Dresden. It's
like the welcome rain on
a quiet spring night that
nurtures the budding
seeds, our new society is
pushing us forward to the
new future. The music
reflects the scenes and
the expression according
to the meaning of the
poem when it's being
unfolded line by line.
Although the tempo is set
63 quarter notes per
minute throughout (played
vividly, never slow
down), the tension is
being built up from the
quiet background in the
beginning, to the
sustained climax towards
the end. The musical
image in Rehearsal A and
B (measures 39-80)
represents the first four
lines of the poem. The
wind instruments response
to the rustling of fast
moving notes on muted
string triplets,
decorated by occasional
strokes produced by
metallic string sound and
high woodwind gestures.
The music in Rehearsal C
and D (measures 81-126)
represents the next two
lines of the poem. It's
so dark, a little light
in the boat is shimmering
on the lake... The
breathy sound and key
slaps on the flutes
create a mysterious
atmosphere, in a dialogue
with other instruments.
The cello glissandi
recite the poem in the
tone of Mandarin, echoed
by the string harmonics.
The music in Rehearsal F,
G and H (m 129-202) is a
toccata, starting in the
orchestra (led by the
marimba), which builds up
a big shape, to reach the
climax in m. 157
(Rehearsal G, the
location of the Golden
Section, according to the
length of the music
without cadenzas), and
keeps the vivid scene
towards the coda (from
Rehearsal I, m. 203),
which stands on the
energetic peak until the
clear cutoff on measure
239, followed by the
short, yet powerful solo
conclusion with the
lingering echo produced
by the high string
harmonics. On the top,
there is a recall of the
three note motive in the
sound of wonderland,
touched by the motor-on
vibraphone meaningfully.
The music is written for
2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2
clarinets (in Bb), 2
bassoons, 4 French horns
(in F), 2 trumpets (in
Bb), 3 trombones, tuba,
harp, 3 percussion
players (Perc. 1:
xylophone; Perc. 2:
suspended cymbal,
Japanese high woodblock,
snare drum, bass drum and
vibraphone; Perc. 3:
marimba and tam-tam),
solo violin, and strings.
Duration is about 20
minutes.

concerto is commissioned
by Friends of Dresden
Music Foundation for
American soloist Mira
Wang and the New York

an American commemoration

is vivid, energetic,

major angular thematic
material (a three
notemotive) consists of
big leaps in interval (a
perfect fourth downward
and then a minorseventh
upward, first introduced
by the violin solo in
measures 27-29). Except
for thecadenzas which
stand at the middle
(Rehearsal E, measure
127) and the two ends of
the piece as a frame, the
virtuosic violin solo
line is always
accompanied by the ever
moving and growing
textures in the
background. The rests
between long and short

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?

The Universe
works in strange ways.
Recorded almost three
years ago, none of us
could have known that
when this recording was
released the world would
have lived through a
life-altering pandemic or
a tumultuous upheaval in
the cultural awareness
that now surrounds us.
The work that opens this
recording—with the
words of Quaker George
Fox that end with,
“So be faithful,
and live in that which
doth not think the time
longâ€â€”provid
es a haunting premonition
regarding the time in
which we live, Quaker
George Fox is strangely
prophetic about these
days and perhaps provides
a future caution for us
all. The music chosen for
this recording is
strangely and poignantly
relevant, I believe, for
each of us. “The
Fruit of Silenceâ€
by PÄ“teris Vasks
reminds us to visit those
beliefs that are most
sacred in the work by
Cortlandt Matthews. A
deeply personal Requiem
by Peter Relph, in
reflection, remembers the
hundreds of thousands of
lives lost in the
pandemic. And then there
is Thomas LaVoy’s
“O Great
Beyond.†All great
texts are timeless and
speak to the universality
of the human condition.
Particularly, the George
Fox text set by Jackson
Hill and the Tagore text
set by LaVoy give us
messages to reinforce the
humanness of each of us
for hope. Two other works
on this recording
poignantly remind us of
the passing of life, with
the Relph Requiem and
especially the final
movement of “O
Great Beyond.†May
these words give comfort
to all those who endured
the deepest of
Life’s losses
during our shared
pandemic journey. For so
many loved ones, goodbyes
were said in silence, and
alone. It is our hope
that all the music on
this CD will show us a
way for living as we move
forward and also give
loving comfort to those
who have lost loved ones.
Peace, my heart, let the
time for the parting be
sweet. Let it not be a
death but completeness.
Let love melt into memory
and pain into songs. Let
the flight through the
sky end in the folding of
the wings over the nest.
Let the last touch of
your hands be gentle like
the flower of the night.
Stand still, O Beautiful
End, for a moment, and
say your last words in
silence. I bow to you and
hold up my lamp to light
you on your way.

8.5 x 11 in
inches. This fine
work has sat dormant for
many years and has now
come to light thanks to
the efforts of Charlie
Vernon, Bass Trombonist
of the Chicago Symphony,
who performed this
virtuoso work as a young
performer. The concerto
is in the standard three
movement form: Fast,
slow, fast. This
publication is a
reduction from the
original orchestral
version (to be released
at some point in the
future). Here is a
description of the
Concerto by the composer,
John W. Ware. I started
on the trombone concerto
in my junior year
studying composition at
Indiana University. While
working on it, I learned
of an opportunity to make
it sort of a thesis piece
(though students didn't
write a thesis in
composition while an
undergrad). The original
version was for trombone
with string orchestra,
and it was performed by
the IU String Orchestra,
conducted by Dr. Arthur
Corra, with Robert Priez,
trombone, as part of my
senior composition
recital. I thought the
performance was quite
good (Priez played
extraordinarily well),
and the piece received a
newspaper review in the
Indiana Daily Student, in
which the reviewer wrote
that the work was almost
too exciting. I thought
at the time that he had
given me and my music a
fine compliment. I made a
piano version of the
accompaniment, shortening
and tightening the first
movement, for
performances in 1966; I
made a second revision in
1967 for a performance by
E. J. Eaton, trombonist
at the University of
Tennessee at Martin,
arriving at the form in
which the work exists
now. The first movement
is in fairly normal
sonata-allegro form, in
the key of A minor. It
alternates between
assertive and more
thoughtful moods. There
is no introduction; the
soloist enters
immediately and dominates
much of the movement. The
main theme is--by some
manipulation--a source
for most of the other
themes, and all of the
themes are used in close
proximity to each other,
including contrapuntal
combinations, especially
near the end. Originally
the movement included a
lengthy fugato, now much
shortened and including a
stretto that builds and
subsides before a cadenza
leading to a coda based
on both the principal and
secondary themes. Key
relations in this
movement, as in the other
two, are quite free and
often chromatic, with
frequent third-relations;
but returns to the tonic
at the end are emphatic.
The writing is
challenging for both
soloist and accompanist;
the piece is substantial,
requiring technique and
stamina. The second
movement is in F minor
and is also built on both
contrast and close
relationships between the
main and secondary
themes. The main theme is
heard in the piano part
before the soloist
enters. The mood is more
lyric than in the first
movement, but with
dramatic episodes also.
In this movement are some
definite derivations from
themes in the first
movement. The ending is a
sort of lengthened shadow
of the opening. The
finale returns to A
minor, with themes
slightly related to
polonaise rhythms, but
with strong echoes of
first-movement themes.
Here, too, dramatic and
lyric episodes alternate,
with dotted rhythms
frequently propelling the
music forward. The
introduction is a brief
and simple preparation
for the solo entry. Later
in the movement, a very
brief, slightly slower
section is soon overtaken
by the original tempo.
Toward the end, there is
a second cadenza, again
leading to a swift and
energetic coda. The work
is about 20 minutes in
length and is appropriate
for advanced
performers. $40.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 2 to 3 weeks | | | |

inches. This work
was commissioned by the
Friends of the Phoenix
Public Library for the
dedication of the new
Music Room and made
possible in part through
the funds from the
Arizona Commission on the
Arts, and Meet the
Composer-Arizona. Diary
of a Journey was composed
between July and
September 1995 for the
group Arpeggio. During
the early summer of 1995,
my wife and I took a
vacation to Prague and
Budapest. It was the
first trip for both of us
to these former Iron
Curtain capitals. The
train ride through the
beautiful country-side,
the dilapidated small
villages and towns, the
magnificent architecture
and the feeling of
grandeur in the two major
cities left an indelible
impression on me. I
longed to write some kind
of an essay about it.
Diary of a Journey is the
result of some of these
thoughts, which were
sketched (musically) as
we visited each place.
There are four
'snapshots' or movements
which do not portray a
specific scene, but
rather try to capture the
impressions I gathered
from the people we
observed and met, and the
many awe-inspiring
experiences we had.
Throughout the journey, I
felt that people were
clinging to a tenacious
hope for a better future,
no matter how long it
will take to realize it.
In the first movement
each player portrays a
struggle against all
odds, and with great
energy and even wit tries
to overcome the
obstacles, ending on one
serene high note as a
resting point after all
the conflict. The second
'snapshot' tries to
capture the deep faith of
a newly regained
religiosity. It is
chant-like, and uses as
its basic melodic
material a famous Czech
hymn, penned by the great
religious reformer John
Huss. This movement is
played very freely,
without bar-lines and
with the hymn shining
through the fervent
chanting. The third
movement is a kind of
'demonic' scherzo. Fast
and furious, the three
instruments vie with one
another in a true
perpetual motion frenzy,
which is at times
relieved by short, more
pastoral melodic
fragments. A rather wild
ending should leave
everyone breathless.
Finally, in the fourth
'snapshot' the
instruments play a bit
more as a team, meaning
that is that there is
more melody with
accompaniment, and more
imitative music giving
the impression of a group
effort. The energy is
still at a high level but
long lyrical lines
abound, accompanied and
interrupted at times by
undulating fast notes
still depicting the
struggle against the
blight which any visitor
notices all around these
countries, yet also
showing the determination
of the people to conquer
adversity. --Samuel

inches. Key: F
major. When Hearts
Tremble is an emotion
packed piece dedicated to
musician friends lost all
to soon. This beautiful
composition by Brant
Karrick reflects on the
fragility of human
existence, joyous
memories of loved ones
and their effect on
everyone around them, and
maintaining hope for what
the future will hold when
all feels lost. This tour
de force piece perfectly
displays Karrick's
polished compositional
craft with impeccable
scoring, beautiful
melodic writing, and
exceptional
orchestrational
color.
While the
day-to-day grind of our
lives can be filled with
overwhelming obligations,
goals and commitments, it
is sometimes very easy to
forget just how precious
and fragile life is . It
is so easy to get caught
up in our own personal
feelings and worries that
we sometimes don’t
realize and appreciate
the many blessings we
have, especially
friendships . On
Wednesday, November 18,
2015 the Jefferson High
School Band in Jefferson,
Georgia lost two of its
members to a fatal car
accident . The victims
were brothers . Music was
a constant part of their
lives, and the boys were
talented percussionists
in the marching band . To
help with the grieving
process the school and
community commissioned
this piece to celebrate
the lives of William and
Alex Trimble .As a
father, I cannot imagine
losing a child, let alone
two, and beginning this
piece was very difficult
as I felt extreme
anguish, especially for
the parents . But it was
decided the piece should
primarily reflect the
enthusiasm, youthful
spirits and positive
influence these two young
men demonstrated as they
were deeply loved by
their band mates,
community and family .
There are four main
themes, each representing
the feelings and emotions
that are certain to occur
after a loss of loved
ones . The first theme is
a short, introductory
fanfare, strong and bold,
to stand for courage . A
second dance-like melody
features a liltingly
mixed meter to portray a
youthful and carefree
innocence . This soon
changes into a third more
song-like, and stately
theme intended to provide
encouragement as we move
forward through life .The
middle of the piece
includes a soft
transition as two snare
drummers give voice to
the boys, allowing them
to thank their friends
and assuring them that it
will be okay . This moves
directly into a slow
melody introduced by the
saxophones (Alex, the
younger brother was also
a saxophonist) and is a
time for reflection and
allows for feelings of
sadness at losing beloved
friends . However, a
second statement of the
same theme, now at full
volume with a strong
percussion cadence,
intends to lift the
spirits and allows all
friends to unite in
joyous celebration of
life . Both the
enthusiastic dance theme
and stately lyrical theme
return, now in different
keys, and work their way
toward the highly
energetic burst of
glorious sound in the
short and wild coda .
When Hearts Tremble was
written to celebrate the
joys of youth and life,
and should remind us that
our friends and loved
ones are precious, and we
should live each day to
bring more joy into the
world and into the lives
of others . $140.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | | |
