This ancient melody has an intrinsic beauty in both its shape and harmonic support. Reflecting those elements, this arrangement also creates an evocative sound world. The mood of this piece is inspired by viewing the expanse of the night sky. Throughout history, we as humans are connected, in a sense, by the fact that we look up at the same pattern of stars today as those who created this ancient tune so many years ago, which suggests a point of connection over time. In this arrangement you will find a sense of wonder and awe as the melody weaves its way between consonance and dissonance, and that the reimagining of an ancient melody in a new setting, also reflects the timeless nature that points of celebration, such as in the Christmas season.

Though not as familiar as other holiday carols, this ancient melody has an intrinsic beauty in both its shape and harmonic support. Reflecting those elements, this arrangement creates an evocative sound world. The mood is inspired by viewing the expanse of the night sky. Throughout history, we as humans are connected, in a sense, by the fact that we look up at the same pattern of stars today as those who created this ancient tune so many years ago, which suggests a point of connection over time. In this arrangement you will find a sense of wonder and awe as the melody weaves its way between consonance and dissonance. The re-imagining of this medieval carol reflects the timeless nature of the Christmas season. Students will work on sustaining long tones and tuning non-traditional chords in this choral-like setting for string orchestra. The melody flows between all the parts with short musical interludes between.

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 2

SKU: BT.GOB-001206-140

A Fantasy. Composed by Marc Cunningham. MasterBlasters Series. Concert Piece. Score Only. Composed 2013. 33 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 001206-140. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-001206-140).

9x12 inches. English-German-French-Dut ch.

Angels and demons are just two of the mythical creatures that appear in Marc Cunningham’s imaginative three-part composition for concert band. The ‘good’ are always shown in opposition to the ‘evil’ in this work. Musically, this con_x001D_flict is expressed as diatonic versus chromatic, consonance versus dissonance, and darker sounds opposed to lighter-sounding sections. Which is victorious at the end of the piece? You might be in for a surprise…

Engeltjes en demonen zijn maar enkele van de fantasie_x001F_-figuren die aan bod komen in dit driedelige werk van Marc Cunningham. De componist zet de tegenstellingen van de _x001F_figuren ook muzikaal in de verf door diatoniek tegen chromatiek, consonanten tegen dissonanten en donkere klanken tegen hoge klanken te plaatsen. Wie wint aan het einde? Daarvoor moet u het eerst spelen!

Engel und Dämonen“ sind nur einige der mythischen Gestalten, die in Marc Cunninghams fantasievoller dreiteiliger Komposition für Blasorchester Revue passieren. Dabei stellt er immer die Guten“ in Kontrast zu den bösen Kräften. Musikalisch drückt sich dieses Spannungsverhältnis in Diatonik versus Chromatik, Konsonanz versus Dissonanz und dunkle gegenüber heller klingenden Abschnitten aus. Welche Kräfte am Ende siegen? Lassen Sie sich überraschen...

Anges et Démons ne contient que quelques unes des _x001C_figures légendaires nées dans le monde fantastique imaginé par Marc Cunningham. Dans cette oeuvre en trois parties composée pour orchestre d’harmonie, les forces du mal et celles du bien s’affrontent de manière incessante. Musicalement, cette tension s’exprime en diatoniques contre chromatiques, en consonances contre dissonances et motifs ténébreux contre passages lumineux. Qui remportera la bataille_x001E_? Vous serez surpris..._x001E_!

Angels and Demons (angeli e demoni) sono solo alcuni dei tanti personaggi mitici che _x001E_figurano in questa composizione in tre movimenti nella quale le forze del bene e del male si affrontano incessantemente. Musicalmente questa tensione si esprime in diatonismo contro cromatismo, in consonanze contro dissonanze e motivi tenebrosi in contrasto con motivi luminosi.

Chamber Music harp

SKU: PO.PE017

Composed by Gareth Farr. Sws. Performance Score. Promethean Editions #PE017. Published by Promethean Editions (PO.PE017).

ISBN 9781877218170.

Comm issioned by Carolyn Mills, principal harpist of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, this mysterious solo work dwells somewhere between consonance and dissonance, evoking the otherworldly quality of the ancient. The work's spacious, senza misura opening gradually reveals its scalar material, coloured with harmonics, before eventually settling into an undulating odd-metered pattern. Musical elements never remain static, with incremental harmonic changes taking place alongside gentle tempo fluctuations.

UPC: 241444420072. English.

The vivid imagery of little critters scurrying about at night inspires the melodic lines and creative harmonies used throughout this programmatic work. Beginning soft and mischievous, the music builds as new critters join the fun in a playful dialogue. The harmonic language moves between moments of pleasant consonance and slight dissonance (because as we all know, some people love little critters and some people are terrified of them!). A highly imaginative, playable work!

The composer was drawn to the beautiful stillness and sadness of the poem by Christina Rossetti, which transcend its rigid sonnet structure, and allude via the epigraph to the mysterious Willow-Wood cycle by Christina's brother Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The music suggests a division of the poem into three stanzas, alternating with tranquil interludes (using the opening melody) representing the 'willow-wood' of the title, so that the listener is constantly reminded of the gentle surroundings. As the intensity of the text increases, so does the astringency of dissonance in the verses, reaching its apogee just before consonance breaks through at the crucial phrase 'one moment joined'. The simplicity of the vocal writing conveys the serenity of the setting, while simultaneously suggesting the austere melancholy of the lovers. An Echo from Willow-Wood was the winner of the Stainer & Bell Award for Choral Composition 2015.

Spherical: What a wonderful word. Spherical, magical, shimmering, kaleidoscopic, spectral. These were my associations. Only when researching this piece did I notice that sphere derives from the Greek hull or ball. It was used in antiquity to designate the firmament, imagined as a hollow sphere. Pythagoras assumed that the movements of the spheres or heavenly bodies created tones with pitches depending on their distances and velocities. Then I came across a text by Stefan Zweig, which, besides the idea of the firmament in constant motion, is perfectly consistent with Canto sferico (song of the spheres). Art knows no more beautiful moment than when it may show the excessive in its symmetry, in those spherically sounding seconds, when at the blink of an eye dissonance dissolves into primal blissful harmony: the more ghastly the rupture, so much the more powerful this collapse, so much the more effervescent the consonance of the plunging streams. (Manuela Kerer, 2017).

SATB choir with some divisi, a cappella - Medium Difficult

SKU: PL.9417

Composed by Gary Davison. Cathedral. Choral, Christmas. Octavo. Paraclete Press #9417. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.9417).

In his work based on the well-known text for Christmas, Gary Davison uses a blend of consonance and dissonance within the key of e minor to evoke an intimate portrait of the Child Jesus. Subtle meter changes enable the text to flow freely. This setting finds its strength in the homophonic texture and the harmonic tension found between equally balanced voice parts.
