In 2011, Barbara Garrop, my mother, commissioned me to write a piano trio in memory of Norman Garrop, my father, who passed away about thirty years ago. When I started brainstorming about topics for the piece, I found it difficult to recall many moments of my early life involving my father. Too many years had passed, and the memories that I could summon were of achild looking up to her father, not an adult relating to an equal. However, while collecting stories of my father from various family members, along with discovering a number of objects that had once belonged to him and that I had stored away in boxes decades ago, I began to realize that this piece wasn't so much about my father as it was about my re-discovering the man that he was: a loving husband and dad who cared deeply about his family and his passions (which included bike riding, collecting coins, strumming our guitar, playing baseball, watching football games, entertaining people, helping to run local theater and puppet productions, and carving objects out of wook); an accountant who dreamed of a better future: a treasurer of our local synagogue; an early advocate for computers (we owned an Apple II+); and a pranster with a great sense of humor. Ultimately, I decided to musically tell the story of my search for these memories. In the first movement (Without), a child calls out in a sing-song voice, searching for her lost parent. This search intesifies over the course of the movement through a series of themes, including a stepping motif in which a two-note progression steadily climbs higher, a pseudo-jewish folksong, and a passionate longing theme. The child's search becomes increasingly intense throughout the movement, calling out fervently and repeatedly to the parent; the movement ends in a moment of great tnesion and uncertainty. The second movment (Within) quietly opens with the lost parent finally answering, represented by a solo cello; the child (now personified by the violin) has found the parent within the sanctuary of her own heart. This movement highlights the joy and solemnity of this beautiful discovery. -S.G.

Chamber Music flute, piano

SKU: PR.114422710

Composed by Charles Gibb. Set of Score and Parts. 44+8 pages. Duration 24 minutes. Theodore Presser Company #114-42271. Published by Theodore Presser Company (PR.114422710).

ISBN 9781491136072. UPC: 680160688227.

DUOâ €™s succinct movement titles (I. Here, II. Open, III. Stark, IV. Ardent) tease at revealing the grand and heartfelt inspiration for exuberant romanticism in this sonata-like work of symphonic proportions and depth. Charles Gibb is both an accomplished pianist and an award-winning flutist, who has written of this compelling major addition to the literature: “This work is a journey. What journey and whose journey does not matter. It is my journey, it is your journey. It is the journey of those who came before us, and of those who will come after us. I wrote this hoping that we can find each other along the road, so we can realize that we don’t need to go on the journey alone.” Gibb’s DUO is sure to become a favorite major work for flute recitalists.
This work is a journey. What journey and whose journey does not matter. It is my journey, it is your journey. It is the journey of those who came before us, and of those who will come after us. I wrote this hoping that we can find each other along the road, so we can realize that we don’t need to go on the journey alone.“Here” begins with three notes that shape the rhythmic and harmonic content of the entire work. Melodies and harmonies including the tonic, dominant, and leading tone can be found in each of the four movements. The first moments of this movement introduce the melody, offering itself unencumbered and uninhibited. It shows itself as it is. The melodies soar, the harmonies become voiced more intricately, and the opening theme repeats in full grandeur. The momentum slows down, and the movement ends with a sense of completion, yet remains unbalanced.A striking piano gesture launches “Open,” the idea of instability reflected with the flowing flute trills and unclear meter patterns in the piano. The sensation of an unsteady grace in 5/8 time arrives with a piano ostinato. The melody is expressive, yet insecure and unbalanced due to changing meters. After a grand pause, the movement transitions to 4/4 time with the flute switching between duplet and triplet flourishes. After a rapid descent in the flute, the opening gesture returns, changed and abruptly interrupted.The third movement, “Stark,” is very static, beginning plainly but markedly. The falling fifth calls out continually throughout the movement, searching, lost. Melodies appear in pieces, some smooth and flowing, others rather disjunct. The piece climaxes with a line of mournfulness, yet revealing a deeper strength through intense projection of tone in the high register. However, the static harmonies return, this time unsteady all the way to its foundation. This destabilization repeats, and then quietly recedes.“Ardentâ� � is the longest of the movements and spans a wide range of musical emotion. Part of the movement is fast paced, energetic, and balances order and disarray. However, once the chaos dies down, a gentle, expressive theme comes in. The theme itself is very resolute; it is order appearing from the pandemonium. Conflict returns, and order and chaos become less distinguishable from one another, and soon fuse together. However, order returns with new meaning, synthesized with previous musical content, creating a truer, deeper sense of awareness or understanding. A moment of ambiguity arises, but the flute persists, supported by the sensitive but firm figuration in the piano, and resoundingly comes to a close, unburdened and at ease.

The Island of Saints and Scholars is an old nickname for Ireland dating back to the early Middle Ages. This original work is a reflection upon Ireland's rich and turbulent history, which can be heard in the lyrical melodic phrases, ever-changing meter, and moments of dissonance. The rhythmic profile of the piece was suggested by a type of Old Irish verse that, among other features, carries seven syllables per line. The quiet opening gains in intensity during an extended stringendo into the fast-paced middle section (Vigorously), where watching and listening carefully are imperative. Later, a second extended stringendo guides the ensemble into the spirited finale (Presto).

Classic sacred poetry speaks to the heart of Christmas in this a cappella gem. Enriched with the depth of its harmonic vocabulary, the anthem is a throwback to a sonic past that showcases the choral ensemble's full expressive potential. The traditional Nativity message includes a “Glory unto God” moment that brings a praiseworthy arc to the anthem's impact before returning to a quiet conclusion. Winsome!

This multi-generational arrangement of the famous Sy Miller and Jill Jackson song is crafted to beautifully incorporate a children’s choir and adults choir. The delicate opening by the children’s choir begins in unison before splitting into two easy-to-sing parts before leading into a power crescendo where the children are joined by full SATB scoring. In a suspenseful moment, the arrangement relaxes into a quiet, touching ending with a children’s solo singing the opening melody “Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.”.

“Go lden Hour” is a slow work that describes the magical moment of the golden hour before sunset, when the world melts into warm shades of colour. The setting sun bathes everything in a soft, golden light and nature shines in its most beautiful splendour and time seems to stand still. But darkness also slowly falls and the day takes its quiet farewell.

Handbell - Grade 2

SKU: BP.HB620

Composed by Karen Lake Buckwalter. Arranged by Karen Lake Buckwalter. Handbell choir music. Octavo. Beckenhorst Press #HB620. Published by Beckenhorst Press (BP.HB620).

Written for 3 -5 octave handbell choir or 3-5 octaves of handchimes. Level 2+. This beautiful original tune, written in honor of the composer's brother, is a perfect choice for a moment of quiet introspection. The haunting melody, underscored by lush harmonies, gives a feeling of calm and depth with a subtle hint of motion. A more chromatic, harmonically-diverse section provides a nice aural diversion midway through before the piece returns to the feeling of the opening. A fantastic choice for the group looking to work on it is musicality.

This cello sonata by the renowned jazz pianist and professor of jazz piano unites in a certain way “the best of two worlds”: melodies, sophisticated harmonies and rousing rhythms, which are also convincing in a pure jazz context, are fused here with a formal language and movement techniques that are oriented towards classical models. The voices of both instruments are interwoven on an equal footing and take the listener on an exciting musical journey from the very first moment, which finds its virtuoso climax in the lively rondo via a classical sonata main movement and a quiet middle movement.
