About� � Jónas Halgrímsson (1807-1845) was an Icelandic poet, author and naturalist, who is considered one of Iceland's most renowned poets. Considered a Romantic writer, the strong imagery in his poetry was influenced heavily by the landscapes around him.The imagery, excitement, and curiosity of the universe leapt off the page and the music almost wrote itself.  Reflecting on the cosmos and origin of the heavens, the poetry elicits excitement and stirs spatial imagery - ...speeding spark of light, ...wings swifter than wind..., ...I watched the stars...rise from the still stream of heaven... The pure and almost child-like fascination with the universe and its expansion and progression fuels the perpetual rhythm of the work as it continually pushes forward.A good friend asked if I would write a song for her ensemble. The original voicing, for SAB choir, contained parameters in that it had to be three-part with a limited range in the Bass part. With these stipulations I began to write.

The unusual combination of cello, percussion and piano seems more incongruous than it actually sounds. When I first heard the ensemble Aequalis, in a full evening program I was absolutely astonished at the combination of lyricism, pulse, and color. Something about the mix causes the cello to sound marimba-like, the vibraphone to imitate the cello's harmonics, and the piano to become a kind of proto-orchestra of colors and effects.   Tsunami was written for Aequalis in the summer and fall of 1991 with the assistance of a grant from Chamber Music America. The title, the Japanese word for tidal wave (which is a misnomer -- tsunamis have nothing to do with the tides), refers to the phenomenon of an undersea disturbance causing a huge wall of water to flood the first land in its path. The initial earthquake or volcanic eruption that sends a seismic shock through the water is invisible -- it's only when that shock wave hits land, recoils, and takes ocean swells back with it, that the wave begins to form. In successive landings, recoilings, and re-landings, this force finally spends itself, usually inundating anything in its path, sometimes to a depth of one hundred feet or more.   My piece does not attempt to depict this natural cataclysm -- how could it, with three instruments? -- but the form of the first half of the work is based on it. The initial percussive shock that opens the piece creates a stir in the form of a cello motive marked swelling and employing long portamenti pushing upwards. After a second shock, the cello motive begins an undersea journey -- very slow and lyrical at first -- accompanied by non-pitched percussion only. Eventually the piano joins, first with echoing bass notes, then with a rather mechanical motive high on the keyboard. This force grows, the cello line climbs higher and higher until another double-shock is heard -- perhaps the energy has hit land? Following this, the percussion becomes melodic (marimba), and we now have two lines in canon accompanied by a separate line in the piano. This, too, builds to a climax, and an even louder and more vigorous shock results. Now the texture is a three-way canon with cello, vibraphone, and piano chasing each other in ever faster cycles of sound. The height of this is a triple cadenza in which all three players spend their pent-up energy, one at a time.   The second part of the piece follows after a settling-down, and is marked Dancing. This is a rondo, with a recurring theme (heard first in the marimba) followed by three contrasting sections heard between reiterations of the main tune (the form could be diagrammed A-A-B-A-C-A). The mood is one of joyous kinetic energy, with elements of Eastern or Balinese gamelan sounds, and employing several pentatonic scales (as does the first half of the work). It ends in a vigorous, stomping dance. --Dan Welcher    .

From Christus. Composed by Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn. Arranged by John Leavitt. Sacred Choral. Advent, Christmas, Christmas/Advent Sacred, Concert, Epiphany, General Worship. CD. Duration 240 seconds. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.274444).

UPC: 888680739973. 5.0x5.0x0.15 inches. Matthew 2:2, Numbers 24:17, Psalm 72:8.

From Felix Mendelssohn's oratorio, Christus, this masterwork adaptation tastefully presents a classical work for church and academic choirs. This chorus is from one of Mendelssohn's final works which was never completed. The rolling triplet accompaniment pushes the composition forward with wave-like arches, supporting the choir in all of its sonorous glory. A smooth contrapuntal style contrasts with dramatic accents and powerful crescendos, displaying the confident scripture-based text with appropriate excitement! John Leavitt has provided a new piano accompaniment as well as a new sparkling orchestration that supports the work while staying faithful to the Mendelssohn original. Score and Parts (fl 1-2, ob, cl 1-2, bn, perc, timp, hp, vn 1-2, va, vc, db) available as a digital download.

Perfect for unison singing at school, this book contains 555 songs that are suitable for students at a grade 2-10 level. For teaching between grades 1-2, refer to Klari Fredborg's 'Come And Sing 1-2'. Piano accompaniments and Guitar chords are included for each song and many can be accompanied by Percussion and/or Bass. The pieces in this book are also suitable for those who wish to join in on the Recorder or Glockenspiel. The composers and origins of each song are discussed. In order not to push students' voices during the rehearsal, many of the songs featured in 555 Sange are set deeper than usual. It is recommended to gradually transpose them upwards to help the students todevelop voice volume.

Your beginning string orchestra is bound to sparkle with this delightful new composition from composer George Sweet. The piece uses very simple rhythmic figure that will make that very first concert for these budding new musicians a success. The harmonies are lush and refreshing for a piece at this level. The parents will not believe their ears!.
Sparkle City, along with “Hub-City,” is one of the nicknames of Spartanburg, South Carolina. The piece was commissioned by the Spartanburg District 7 5th Grade Honor Orchestra and is a reflection of their vibrant city.The piece begins with a bold, accented introduction. The main theme is presented by the first Violins at m. 9. Be sure to observe the staccato markings in the accompaniment as they help to propel the piece forward.  A crescendo pushes into the B-section at m. 25 which is reminiscent of the introduction. Be sure to observe the change in dynamics as they highlight the contrast from section to section. The second Violins and Violas restate the main theme at m. 35, this time with a countermelody in the first Violins. The B-section returns again at m. 49, this time up an octave, and is “echoed” at a piano dynamic at m. 57. Once again, be sure to utilize as much dynamic contrast as possible in this section.  The introductory material returns at m. 65 and pushes the piece to a dramatic conclusion.
