Haydn's Trumpet Concerto
is probably the
most-performed trumpet
concerto ever written.
The second movement is
known equally for both
its beautiful melody and
wonderful use of trumpet
as a solo instrument. In
this adaptation, the key
is lowered to avoid the
high notes of the
original, sixteenth notes
are eliminated by using a
3/4 time signature and
difficult passages are
simplified-making it
ideal for younger
soloists. Let your star
trumpet player shine with
this well-crafted
adaptation of a
repertoire standard.

The Book of
Urizen is a work for
concert band, solo
soprano, and a male
narrator in which sound
collages of religious
expressions are used. The
piece is inspired by the
compelling visionary poem
of the same name (which
the poet
illustratedhimself) by
the Englishman William
Blake (1757-1827), who
occupies a unique
position in western
literature and the visual
arts. He was not just a
poet and a writer, but he
was also a graphic
artist, a painter, an
illustrator, a
spiritualist, areligious
visionary, and a mystic
philosopher. For the
performance of this work,
a professional sound
system, including two
microphones and a CD
player, is needed. The
three sound collages are
three separate tracks on
the enclosed CD and can
beplayed easily at the
right moment. The Book
of Urizen bears
resemblance to Genesis
and Exodus, of which the
contents form the basis
of the Christian, Jewish,
and Islamic faith. Blake
adhered to the principle
that all religions are in
fact one,and that deities
reside in human beings.
In The Book of
Urizen this is
represented in “The
Net of Religion,â€
which is spanned over the
earth by Urizen. The
sound collages, compiled
by Jacob de Haan in the
studio, find their origin
inJerusalem, the Holy
City, where the
afore-mentioned faiths
“come
together.†In the
first movement of
this composition, The
Vision, Urizen
prepares his vision of
the world, and he
presents this to the
“Eternals.â€
His vision is
rejected,and Urizen locks
himself up in his own
abstract world. When he
does emerge again, he is
confronted with rage by
the gathered Eternals.
Urizen flees the wrath of
the Eternals, “the
flames of eternal
fury,†and enwombs
himself in his own world.
Whenthe Eternals see
Urizen in his
“stony
sleep,†they wonder
if this is death. The
blacksmith Los is torn by
grief because of the
isolation of Urizen. It
brings him to rouse his
fires, prepare his forge,
and to give
Urizen’s world
concrete form. In
thesecond
movement, The
Creation,
Urizen’s world,
but also man, woman, and
child are created. Los is
horrified with the
appearance of
Urizen’s body. He
mourns and pities Urizen,
and from his blood a
female form comes into
being, with thename
Enitharmon. The Eternals,
fearful of the female
form, decide to erect a
tent to obstruct their
view to eternity.
Enitharmon and Los beget
a son, called Orc. Los
baptizes him as a child
of the “fallen
world.†Orc is fed
at Enitharmon’s
breast,which makes a
girdle of jealousy
restrict Los’
chest. He takes the child
to the top of the
mountain and chains him
down. The cries of Orc
awaken Urizen, who
explores his world
creating instruments of
scientific measurement to
do so. Los encircles
theface of Enitharmon
from the sight of Urizen
and Orc. She then
populates the earth by
giving birth to an
enormous race.The

Second
SymphonyŸis in four
movements. The first
movement opens with a
scream. The subsequent
parts of the movement
form a unified but
complex whole, where
traces from the coming
movements turn up -
constantly in interaction
with the scream and its
echoes. The second
movement is slow and
rather melodious. It was
actually performed in a
“trailer
version†-
shortened and minimized
in December 2018 in the
Danish TV programme
'Deadline'. The third
movement is a scherzo -
teeming, rhythmic, with
almost physical soft and
violent meetings, like
acts of love between the
different layers of
music. The last movement
is a farewell song - a
goodbye. A musical ship
is approaching only to
disappear again. Where
the composer perceives
the preceding movements
as highly contemporary,
there is a touch of the
past in this last
movement - the composer's
past. Sorensen quotes his
fourth string quartet
'Schreie und
Melancholie', and in this
movement he was also
influenced by the fact
that his mother passed
away during the
composition of this
piece.

Suite in Three
Movements (2021) for
harpsichord was
commissioned by Scott
Hyslop. The three
movements take their
inspiration and forms
from early models. They
combine allusions to
common practice harmony
with later harmonic and
rhythmic elements. The
first movement, Concerto,
is in a bright,
Italianate manner (not
without a bit of humor).
The animating contrast is
between ripieno
(ritornello) sections and
filigree-driven solo
episodes. The second
movement, Arioso, is a
lyric aria in which the
baroque-like principal
material is integrated
with more varied harmonic
excursions. The third
movement, Sonata, is a
vibrant binary movement
in the manner of Domenico
Scarlatti.Harpsichord

From
my early years studying
violin at the Tehran
Music Conservatory, I was
captivated by the sound
of the kamancheh, an
ancient Persian bowed
instrument considered one
of the ancestors to the
modern violin. I was
pleased when the National
Endowment for the Arts
awarded me a grant to
write a violin concerto
as it provided me with an
occasion to rekindle my
fascination with the
kamancheh. The notion of
writing a violin concerto
that would incorporate
the power and brilliance
of a modern instrument
with the delicate and
lyrical character of an
ancient one was simply
irresistible. Moreover,
the inspiration from the
kamancheh also informed
my use of Persian modes,
melodic, and rhythmic
figures. The notes of the
violins open strings (G,
D, A, E) also influenced
many of the melodic and
harmonic elements of my
violin concerto. The
opening tutti is mostly
based on intervals of a
perfect 4th and 5th. The
primary material for each
movement incorporates
notes of two of the open
strings of the violin,
creating a three-note
melodic motif as the
basis of themes: 1 st
movement: A-D-A 2nd
movement: D-G-D 3rd
movement: E-A-E The
overall structure of the
concerto is organic and
cyclical, as themes are
shared between the three
movements. For example,
the main musical idea of
the third movement is a
transformation of the
first movements primary
theme. While the
movements share similar
musical materials, each
one is defined by
distinguishing
characters. The first
movement is conflicted;
alternating between
sections of unabashed
lyricism and unforgiving
ferocity. The second
movement is haunting,
mysterious, and
expressive with long
melodic lines that vary
continuously. It moves
through different moods
and characters including
a reimagining of a
traditional Persian
wedding tune played by
the orchestra (m. 98).
The third movement is
festive in character and
features much brilliant
passagework for the solo
violin. At the climax of
this movement, themes
from the previous
movements re-emerge
simultaneously with
greater intensity,
propelling the concerto
to an energetic finale.

in 1994 and is dedicated
to Joshua Bell. From

Like my
oratorio Novae de
infinito laudes, this
work, too, has been
influenced by the human
world and the scenery of
Rome, indeed, perhaps
even by the greater
hardness of the roman
language compared to that
of Naples. The first four
notes of the subsidiary
theme of the second
movement which appears
for the first time in bar
36 are borrowed from the
song My own, my own from
the second act of my
opera Elegy for Young
Lovers; they appear again
and again in various
forms, even in the second

Commissioned
by the Princeton-Columbia
Electronic Music Center
for Speculum Musicae in
1981. The first movement,
In Preparation, is a
study in tuning and
intonation and is based
on the open strings in
perfectly tuned fifths,
with the violins D string
tuned 294 hertz. The
first moments of the
piece provide opportunity
to tune to the tape part.
(This tuning probably
differs imperceptibly
from a tempered tuning
since the E string of the
violin is only 1/33 of a
semitone sharper then in
a tempered system and the
C strings of the viola
and cello 1/33 of a
semitone flatter.) Most
subsequent pitches in the
movement are either the
open strings or major and
minor thirds above and
below the open strings.
The minor thirds will be
slightly sharp with
respect to equal tempered
tuning about 15 cents or
1/6 of a semitone and the
major thirds will be
slightly flat about 14
cents, or one seventh of
a semitone. Listen to the
tape part as a guide. All
harmonics in this
movement are to be played
as natural harmonics and
open strings are to be
used whenever possible.
In the second movement,
At a Distance, the tape
part largely doubles
selected pitches in the
string parts and should
be thought of as a
backdrop rather then
counterpart. In this and
the remaining movements
equal tempered tuning is
used though it will
probably not be necessary
to retune the instruments
for this reason alone.
The third movement, In
Practice, is a study in
modes of performance
particularly with respect
to rhythmic rigidity and
flexibility. While the
tape part may seem to
bend and sway a great
deal, the string parts
are to be played with as
much rhythmic precision
as possible. At many
points it may be
necessary to delay or
anticipate beats in order
to coincide with the
arrival of beats in the
tape part, though in
general the quarter
equals 120 is accurate.
In the fourth movement,
In Distinction, different
kinds of musical
conceptions are
counter-pointed and
counter-posed. Here the
beat is quite accurate
although the notation of
the synthetic saxophone
part is only approximate.
All the tape parts are
based on computer
reprocessed violin except
for parts of the fourth
movement in which
synthetic saxophone is
used. The tape part was
synthesized on the IBM
3033 and 3081 computers
at Princeton University
and converted at the
Winham Laboratory. The
violin source was
performed by Cyrus
Stevens. Commissioned

violin source was
performed by Cyrus
Stevens. Commissioned
by the Princeton-Columbia
Electronic Music Center
for SpeculumMusicae in
1981.The first movement,
In Preparation, is a
study in tuning and
intonation and isbased on
the open strings in
perfectly tuned fifths,
with the violin’s
D stringtuned 294 hertz.
The first moments of the
piece provide opportunity
to tuneto the tape part.
(This tuning probably
differs imperceptibly
from a temperedtuning
since the E string of the
violin is only 1/33 of a
semitone sharper then ina
tempered system and the C
strings of the viola and
‘cello 1/33 of a
semitoneflatter.) Most
subsequent pitches in the
movement are either the
open stringsor major and
minor thirds above and
below the open strings.
The minor thirdswill be
slightly sharp with
respect to equal tempered
tuning about 15 cents
or1/6 of a semitone and
the major thirds will be
slightly flat about 14
cents, or oneseventh of a
semitone. Listen to the
tape part as a guide. All
harmonics in thismovement
are to be played as
natural harmonics and
open strings are to be
usedwhenever possible.In
the second movement, At a
Distance, the tape part
largely doubles
selectedpitches in the
string parts and should
be thought of as a
backdrop rather
thencounterpart. In this
and the remaining
movements equal tempered
tuning is usedthough it
will probably not be
necessary to retune the
instruments for this
reasonalone.The third
movement, In Practice, is
a study in modes of
performance
particularlywith respect
to rhythmic rigidity and
flexibility. While the
tape part may seemto bend
and sway a great deal,
the string parts are to
be played with as
muchrhythmic precision as
possible. At many points
it may be necessary to
delay oranticipate beats
in order to coincide with
the arrival of beats in
the tape part,though in
general the quarter
equals 120 is accurate.In
the fourth movement, In
Distinction, different
kinds of musical
conceptions
arecounter-pointed and
counter-posed. Here the
beat is quite accurate
although thenotation of
the synthetic saxophone
part is only
approximate.All the tape
parts are based on
computer reprocessed
violin except for parts
ofthe fourth movement in
which synthetic saxophone
is used. The tape part
wassynthesized on the IBM
3033 and 3081 computers
at Princeton University
andconverted at the
Winham Laboratory. The
violin source was

Shula
mit Ran’s second
string quartet, subtitled
“Vistas,â€
occupies a large canvas
that is cast in a
traditional fourmovement
mold, where the outer
movements present,
explore, and later return
to the work’s
principal musical
materials, surrounding a
slow movement and
scherzo-type third
movement with a trio. In
addition to tempo-based
titles, the individual
movements have subtitles
that are evocative of
each movement’s
character, as follows: I.
Concentric: from the
inside out II. Stasis
III. Flashes IV.
Vistas. My second
string quartet,
“Vistasâ€, is
a work cast in a
traditional four-movement
formal mold, with the
outer movements,
presenting and later
returning to the
work’s principal
musical materials,
surrounding a slow
movement and a
scherzo-type third
movement.While the four
movements’
“properâ€
names -- Maestoso con
forza, Lento, Scherzo
impetuoso, and
Introduzione; Maestoso e
grande – give some
indication of the general
character of the
individual movements, I
have also subtitled, less
formally, each movement
as follows:Â 1)
Concentric:Â from the
inside out 2)Â
Stasis 3) FlashesÂ
4) Vista. The images
evoked by these titles
tell one, I think, a bit
more about the inner
workings of the
quartet.In the first
movement, a prominently
presented opening pitch
(E) reveals itself, as
the movement unfolds, to
be a center of gravity
from which ever-growing
cycles of activity
gradually evolve.Â
While various important
themes come into being as
the movement progresses,
their impact on the
listener has, I believe,
a great deal to do with
their juxtaposition and
relationship to the
initial central point of
gravity.Stasis is, as the
name implies, a movement
where activity seems, at
times, almost
suspended. Being
also, as Webster’s
Dictionary reminds us,
“a state of static
balance and equilibrium
among opposing tendencies
or forces,†it
develops various
materials, including ones
from the first movement,
without bringing them to
points of
resolution.Flashes is
short and very fast,
evoking in my mind the
quick shimmer of
fireflies, a
“sudden burst of
lightâ€, but also a
“brief
timeâ€. Perhaps,
even, a
“smile�Final
ly, the last movement,
Vista, is not only
“a view or
outlookâ€, but also
“a comprehensive
mental view of a series
of remembered or
anticipated
events.â€Â After
a brief recall of the
opening of the second
movement, this movement
brings back all the
important themes of the
first movement in their
original order. But
just as going back can
never really mean going
back in time, the
movement is much more
than recapitulatory.Â
By cutting through
previously transitory
passages and presenting
the main ideas in a
fashion more direct yet
more evolved, it also
sheds new light on
earlier events, offering
a retrospective, synoptic
view of the first
movement as it brings to
culmination the work as a
whole. “Vistasâ

movement a youthful
folly, and removed it.
