Your young
band will really be in
their own element when
they are rocking to the
jellybean song! Every
section gets to join in
on the melody somewhere
and the rhythmic
reinforcement found
within is a priceless
tool for the teacher of
young band students. This
is the kind of piece your
students will drive you
crazy with because
they’ll want to
play it again and again
(and again!) If you are
looking for something FUN
to do with your group as
a contrast to your more
serious pieces,
you’ve found
it.Tasty!

This
rocking piece for
beginning strings is
based on the interval of
a perfect fifth - thus
the title! Beginning
students can practice
easy string crossings
utilizing open strings,
while the mostly unison
rhythms consist of only
quarter-and eighth-note
durations. The stepwise
finger patterns of the
melody strengthen
note-reading and
intonation. With violin 2
doubling viola and cello
doubling bass, each
section of the orchestra
is given the opportunity
to play the melody. The
provided piano part fills
in during rests and can
support students in
maintaining a steady
beat, particularly in
pizzicato sections. An
optional drum set part
completes this upbeat
first concert
selection. This

Works
of chamber music
including flute and
strings are not nearly as
numerous as those for
clarinet, or even the
oboe. Probably the reason
for this is the less
assertive, more pure tone
the flute possesses - it
can't compete for volume
or range with the
clarinet, except in its
top octave, and the
oboe's tone is more
penetrating and easily
discerned from within a
string texture.
Consequently, composers
who have written for
flute and strings have
done so in lightweight
divertimento works:
compare, for instance,
the delicate flute
quartets of Mozart with
his monumental quintet
for clarinet and strings.
When Karl and Joan
Karber approached me with
the ideas of writing a
work for flute and string
trio, I originally
thought it would be best
to write a humorous,
rather offhand piece -
but a look at their
repertoire (mostly
comprised of smaller
works of the Rococo
period) convinced me that
it was the last thing
they needed. In spite of
the challenge (or maybe
because of it?), I
determined to write a
large work, and a serious
work. Zephyrus (named for
the God of the West Wind,
in deference to the
flute) is a
three-movement work, with
each movement cast in a
very different form, but
all three being built of
the same twelve-note
series. There is also a
rhythmic motive and a
pair of themes that
appear in all three
movements. The
first movement plays with
the idea of contrast and
persuasion. The flute, at
the outset, is the
hell-for-leather
protagonist, charging and
swooping around the
strings - who seem oddly
unconcerned by his
passion. Indeed, they
have a more somber song
to sing - and as the
movement unfolds, the
flute becomes less and
less active, while the
strings become
increasingly enlivened.
By the midpoint, when all
four instruments are
finally in the same meter
and the same tempo, the
flute's energy has
finally infected the
other three players, and
this energy does not let
up until the movement's
abrupt final cadence.
The second
movement begins with a
tag from the first - as
if the energy left over
was too great to simply
stop. At length, though,
a very poignant flute
melody appears over an
almost bluesy harmony in
the strings. After this
has been fully exposed, a
slight increase in
motion, marked gently
rocking in triplets,
features a theme-fragment
from Leonard Bernstein's
Symphony No. 2 (Kaddish).
Bernstein died as I was
writing this work, and it
seemed quite natural to
encourage what was
already implicit in the
music, and create an
Elegy for L.B. The music
rises and peaks, then in
the recapitulation of the
opening the Kaddish theme
reappears, as the
ensemble suggests a
gentle song of sleep.
The final movement
is a Rondo-Variations
form, with the slight
alteration of adding the
main theme of the second
movement in what would be
the trio of the form. The
ritornello theme is a
kind of ethnic dance
music, almost an allusion
to the Klezmer ensembles
of Eastern Europe. The
successive episodes
between the ritornelli
are loosely organized
variations on the basic
theme, but always
beginning with a metric
modulation, a rhythmic
changing of gears. The
movement reaches and apex
of speed and furious
pulsing, then abruptly
pirouttes, and finishes.
Zephyrus was
written between April and
November of 1990 in
Austin, Aspen, and
Honolulu, and is
dedicated to Karl Kraber
and The Chamber Soloists
of Austin. --Dan
Welcher.

Jesus
Reassures His Mother is a
setting of medieval lyric
poetry written
anonymously in the 14th
century. The poet
recounts a vision of the
young Mary rocking the
infant Christ to sleep.
The child requests his
mother to sing a lullaby
but, alas, knowing her
child’s fate she is too
sad to sing. Jesus tells
her that all mothers
worry about their
children’s futures and
insists that she should
sing nevertheless. Mary
recounts the visit of
Gabriel and the events of
Christ’s birth but
reflects how sad it is to
have delivered a child to
such a fate. Jesus
reassures his mother that
he will be with his
father in heaven where
Mary will come to join
Him at the end of time,
there to livein eternal
bliss. At this point Mary
is persuaded by and
echoes her child’s
reassuring words, and she
is joined in this by the
choir (now representing
us all). The vision fades
away in the voice of the
narrator whose loneliness
and longing return. We
learn that it is
Christmas Day. This
setting grows from the
visionary mystical world
inhabited by Julian of
Norwich whose Revelations
of Divine Love provided
the inspiration for a
work Anne Boyd composed
in 1994. The medium has
been expanded from the
Song Company’s six solo
voices used in the
Revelations to the double
motet choir of the Sydney
Philharmonia who
commissioned this work
for their 75th
anniversary. The parts of
the infant Jesus, Mary,
the Narrator and the
angel Gabriel are taken
by choir soloists:
soprano, alto, tenor and
bass. The work is
situated in the context
of Boyd ’s personal
musical aesthetic which
she describes as the
intersection of Christian
Love with Buddhist
silence.

This
'Musical Garden for
Babies' extends an
invitation to babies of
up to 18 months and their
parents to join in a
musical game. Making
music together at this
early stage provides the
child with nourishment in
three respects: for body,
soul and brain. Through
songs, rhymes and
movement games children
and those closest to them
can enjoy discovering
their own voices and
bodies. Simple
instruments such as wood
blocks, rattles and drums
lead the child into the
world of sounds. Research
has confirmed the
positive influence of
musical activity on the
overall development of
the child - in its
musical ability, its
social relationships and
its intelligence. A
lesson in the 'Musical
Garden for Babies' is
structured around the
following activities:
greeting and farewell
songs - rhymes and games
for bouncing baby on your
knee - finger games and
songs to develop
awareness of the body -
rocking songs and
lullabies - songs for
dancing and moving about
to - echo games -
introducing simple
instruments - playing
with pieces of cloth -
listening to music. The
teacher's book contains
information on infant
development, explanations
of the principles behind
teaching and plenty of
ideas for lessons. The
song books with CD make
it possible to take the
'sound environment' of
the music lesson home
with you and to keep
singing and enjoying the
songs with the
family.
