680160688579. When
RoseWind Duo’s
Clifford Leaman and Scott
Herring commissioned me
for Silver Linings, we
could not have
anticipated that we would
be in the middle of the
COVID-19 pandemic when I
composed the piece. In
the early summer of 2020,
when the three of us met
virtually to discuss
possible topics, we had
all been in lockdown for
several months; the
causes and effects of the
lockdown were at the
forefront of our
discussion. In themidst
of daily tragedies, I had
been seeing news stories
using the words
“silver
lining†to describe
unexpectedly positive
situations arising from
our global situation,
ranging from small
effects (i.e. people
having time to work on
projects they never could
get around to doing) to
global ramifications
(resurging animal
populations in areas
where they’re no
longer challenged for
space with
humanity).Silver Linings
consists of two
movements. Groundhog Day,
the first movement, is
slow and brooding. It
embodies the strong
feeling of déjà vu
that so many of us
experienced early on into
lockdown, as we seemed to
live the same day
repeatedly with minor
variances to our
schedules. There are two
main musical gestures:
the first opens the piece
as a slow, ascending
minor chord which is a
representation of
uncertainty, and the
secondis a falling minor
scale. These gestures
depict how our lives were
reduced to the basic
building blocks of life
– wake up, eat,
work, eat, sleep –
as our daily activities
and livelihoods were
suddenly knocked down.
These same two gestures
are utilized in the
energetic second
movement, Making
Lemonade, except that
they are spun around to
reveal their silver
linings: the minor chord
falls to sound centered
and decisive, and the
minor scale rises as it
bubbles with activity.
Among the seeds of
despair are also
foundseeds of hope, and
the saxophone and marimba
explore this hopefulness
with great vigor and
excitement. $33.99 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

680160089956. 9.5 x 13
inches. EXCURSIONS
is a one-movement work
exploring two
“characters.â€
A rhapsodic, descending
passage is introduced by
the cello, followed by
a static,
chorale-like phrase for
the violin and cello.
Their individual
developments are
separated by a slow,
contrasting middle
section. The composer has
written: “This is
analogous to situations
in life: we stand by a
crossroad, choosing one
option and forfeiting the
other. But in art, the
realm of the imagination,
we can perhaps afford to
pursue more than one
route to its ultimate
destination… or can
we? It is symbolic that
in this work both roads
eventually lead to the
same
place.â€. Excursi
ons for violin, cello and
piano, is a one-movement
work of tripartite
structure in which
materials explored in the
first of three large
sections are brought back
in the last section.Â
The traditional
statement-contrast-restat
ement form, which is
readily suggested by such
a description, is,
however, not at all in
the mold in which the
work is cast. Rather,
my aim was to subject the
essential materials of
the piece (two
“charactersâ€
–the rhapsodic,
descending passage played
by the cello in the very
opening and, later, a
static, slow moving,
chorale-like phrase for
the violin and cello) to
two entirely different
developments separated by
a slow, contrasting
middle section. This
is analogous to an
exploration of the
ramifications that two
divergent choices made by
the same person might
lead to. In life, as
we stand by a crossroad,
choosing one option
usually means having to
forfeit the other.Â
But in art, the realm of
the imagination, we can
perhaps afford to pursue
more than one route to
its ultimate
destination…or can
we? It is, I believe,
symbolic that in this
work both roads
eventually lead to the
same place: in composing
Excursions, it seemed
absolutely inescapable
that at the end the slow,
contrasting middle
sections – both
more resigned and
peaceful than the
battling spirits of the
outer parts –
should return briefly to
end the work. The
piano trio combination
(once highly favored, but
to this composer still as
challenging today) is
approached here as a
collaborative effort of
three equal soloists
– partners. Of
the available pairings,
the two strings find
themselves occasionally
approached as a team
pitted against the
piano. The
cello-piano combination
is also not uncommon
here, and there is an
extended violin cadenza
toward the end of the
piece. The writing
for the three instruments
is closely and at times
interlinked, but the
players are all
instructed to play from
scores. Excursions was
first performed at
Brandeis University in
1982. $80.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 24 hours - In Stock | | |

Recording
Series. Everything
in the studio starts and
ends with audio –
both analog and digital
– yet many
musicians know a lot more
about the principles of
music than the principles
behind audio. The
Musician's Guide to Audio
will include: •
Audio theory –
sound waves in the real
world • Bit
resolution • Sample
rates • Distortion
• The different
types of decibels •
The meaning of audio
specifications •
Frequency response
• The different
types of distortion
• Signal-to-noise
ratio • Dynamic
range • How the
human ear hears sound,
and more The book then
segues into
specifications regarding
levels, connection
standards (both analog
and digital), and
resolving potential
incompatibilities among
different pieces of gear.
Additional topics include
information on the
practical ramifications
of audio, such as the
basics of room acoustics,
why speaker placement
matters, audio
distribution methods
including data-compressed
formats like MP3, the
unique constraints of
vinyl, and more. Filled
with illustrations and
featuring selected
“tech talkâ€
sidebars to give details
on specific topics for
those who want to know
“why†as well
as “how,†The
Musician's Guide to Audio
fills a unique need by
avoiding overly-technical
details, and instead
emphasizing the practical
implications involved in
working with audio in the
studio. $18.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 24 hours - In Stock | | |
