Angles of Repose draws the inspiration for its title from Wallace Stegner's novel about an itinerant mining engineer and his family as they struggle to prosper in the American West. In Stegner's work, the title refers simultaneously to the angle at which granular materials achieve stability on a slope and the forces of fortune and consequence that ultimately shape the lives of its protagonists. I have become increasingly interested in the way that physical forces create analogues for social, emotional, interpersonal and even musical ones. While this piece does not pictorially narrate the physical phenomenon, it aspires to translate the interplay of these forces into musical ones.

With a title inspired by the architecture and writings of Louis I. Kahn, this stunning recording is, according to conductor James Jordan, “really about pieces that are varying musical angles of refracted human light through sound.” States Jordan: “This recording project was a deeply emotional journey for me, the same can be said for the choir. The repertoire selections are from my personal musical journey, reflecting works that cast light into me for one reason or another.” The repertoire and performances on this emotionally arresting recording are varied, inspiring, and certain to bring more light into the world.

The triangle is an idiophone type of musical instrument in the percussion family. It is a bar of steel bent into a triangle shape with one of the angles left open and with the ends of the bar not quite touching. Today, the shape of this instrument is generally in the form of an equilateral triangle, usually struck with a metal beater (or sometimes with a wooden beater) and giving a high-pitched, ringing tone. The triangle was historically used for religious ceremonies. Many classical and modern composers, such as Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, and Weber have used this instrument in their work. The famous classical work, Piano Concerto No.1 by Franz Liszt featured the triangle as a solo instrument in the third movement, giving this concerto the nickname Triangle Concerto. Today, the triangle can also be found in many types of modern music as well. IQ Plus triangles will help children develop their sense of rhythm and understanding of pitch. This instrument can also help children develop patterning skills and introduce basic mathematical concepts of sequencing. IQ Plus Triangles are excellent for a family band or group activities at school. They can be used for making classroom music while playing along with other percussive instruments.

It is believed that the first bongo drums were used in Cuba during the late 19th century. They were used for the music styles called Changui amd Son. This music originated with equal influences from both the African and Spanish cultures that lived in Cuba during that time. It eventually evolved into today's Salsa. Bongos are made of two differently-sized drums that are attached to one another. The larger one is called the “hembra” (meaning female in Spanish) and the smaller one is called the “macho” (meaning male). Tuned to varying pitches, the two are played together to create different tones and rhythms within a musical piece. Children can enjoy playing the IQ Plus Bongos by clamping it between their legs, adjusting the macho to lean against one thigh, hembra angles down against the opposite calf, and start making music by striking the drums with the pads of their fingertips. The bongos are one of the most popular instruments for beginner percussion players as it is one of the easiest to learn. Children will be able to enjoy creating different rhythms and sounds along with other percussion instruments as part of a band, or they can play individually as well! Features: •Constructed of environmentally friendly rubber wood •Equipped with premium buffalo skin heads •Durable and light weight, easy for children to hold and play.

A stunning contest or concert work for your young band. This energy-packed original is sure to make your young band sound spectacular. Inspired by Colorado, the land of mountains, in this single flowing composition the intent listener will hear the panoramic beauty of the Colorado sunrise with the Rocky Mountains as the backdrop. The power of the dinosaurs, the menacing sheer angles of jagged rocks and the thunder of ancient drums combine to form the first movement entitled In Stone and Shadow. In contrast, Twilight seeks to capture the majestic yet delicate scenery at perhaps the most beautiful time of the day. The final movement entitled Avalanche brings together musical and visual imagery to the most powerful of conclusions. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
