This work follows my Quartet No. 1 by five years. In terms of style and aesthetic aim, however, it seems light years away. Where the first work, a 28-minute, four-movement piece, took aim at cosmic conflicts and heroic resolutions, the present work is intended as a kind of divertissment. Harbor Music lasts a mere eleven minutes, is cast in a single movement with six sections, and should leave both performers and listeners with a feeling of good humor and affection.   The title comes from my experience as a guest in the magnificent city of Sydney, Australia. One of its most attractive features is its unique system of ferry boats: the city is laid out around a large, multi-channeled harbor, with destinations more easily approached by water than by land. Consequently, inhabitants of Sydney get around on small, people-friendly boats that come and go from the central docks at Circular Quay. During a week's visit in 1991, I must have boarded these boats at least a dozen times, always bound for a new location - the resort town of Manley, or the Zoo at Taronga Park, or the shopping district at Darling Harbour.   In casting about for a form for my second string quartet, a kind of loose rondo came to mind. Each new destination would be approached from the same starting-out point (although there are subtle variations in the repeating theme; it's always in a new key, and the texture is never the same). The result, I hope, is a sense of constant new information presented with introductory frames of a more familiar nature.   The embarkation theme, which begins the piece, is a sort of bi-tonal fanfare in which the violins are in G major and the viola and cello are in B-flat major. It is bold, eager, and forward-looking. The first voyage maintains this bi-tonality, beginning as a 9/8 due for second violin and viola in a kind of rocking motion -much as a boat produces when reaching the deeper water in the harbor. A sweet, nostalgic theme emerges over this rocking accompaniment. This music is developed somewhat, then transforms quickly into a much faster and lighter episode, filled with rising and falling scales (again, in differing keys). A scherzando interlude in short notes and changing meters provides contrast, and the episode ends with a reprise of the scales.   The second embarkation follows, this time in A major/C major. It leads quickly into a very warm and slow theme, in wide-leaping intervals for the viola. This section is interrupted twice by solo cadenzas for the cello, suggesting distant boat-horns in major thirds. The end of the episode becomes a transition, with boat-horns leading into the final appearance of the embarkation music, this time in trills and tremolos instead of sharply accented chords. The nostalgic theme of the first episode makes a final appearance, serving now as a coda. The rocking motion continues, in a lullaby fashion, leaving us drowsy and satisfied on our homeward journey.   Harbor Music was written for the Cavani Quartet, and is dedicated to Richard J. Bogomolny. Commissioned by his employees at First National Supermarkets as a gift, it represents a thank you from many of the people (including this composer) who have benefitted from his vision and generosity. An ardent advocate of chamber music (and a cellist himself), Mr. Bogomolny has for many years been Chairman of the Board of Chamber Music America. -- Dan Welcher.

Mambo Maderas combines the chachacha and the classical mambo with a touch of jazz. It should be played slightly faster than a chachacha and somewhat slower than a mambo. Maderas means wooden, since the piece---aside from the use of percussion---is exlusively performed by woodwind instruments. The choice and number of percussion instruments employed is variable: The composition can either played without any percussion or by using one, two, three, or four percussion instruments.

The Night Will Shine as Day was commissioned by the Bedford Junior High Treble Choir under the direction of Hannah Ware in 2022. Composed with a spirit of perseverance and hopefulness, the text (paraphrased from Psalm 139) shares a message to have faith even during the darkest days, and a reminder that a light will always shine through the darkness if we have the courage to see it.Featuring a flowing piano accompaniment and lyrical (optional) horn solo, this piece was written with an equal relationship between the major mode and the minor mode (as demonstrated by the alternating piano harmonies, neither chord revealing a clear tonality.) This tonal obscurity represents the relationship between dark and light: a somewhat codependent relationship through which the melody struggles to find stability. As the understated chorus reveals and repeats the core message of the text, the melody gains confidence in its role among struggle between light and dark. The piece concludes with a final triumph of light over dark, this time with harmonic clarity and hopefulness for the future.  .

The composer states: “Acequia Madre demonstrates an approach which was somewhat new to the style of my musical expression at the time of its composition [2012]: structuring a work with the focus on its melodic aspects. I drew inspiration from other creative artists through one of my 'rituals': I surrounded myself with the scores of composers who, for one reason or another, were on my mind at the time, like Iannis Xenakis, Alban Berg's 'Four Pieces for Clarinet and Piano,' and 'Contrasts for violin, clarinet and piano' by Bela Bartok, plus Schubert's haunting final 'String Quartet No. 15.' Conquering technical difficulties is something I find particularly rewarding when playing acoustic instruments: fully aware that today's electronics can triumph over a composer's most demanding technical challenges, I love the idea of performers encountering their instruments with virtuosity ... doing something that seems to defy physical boundaries.&rdquo.

The two organ concertos are marked by somewhat unusual instrumentation. Hector Berlioz warned about a certain antipathy between the organ and orchestral instruments, but with the use of three horns in op. 137 proves to be a fine piece of artistry: Rheinberger supplied tone colors which he had perceived the organ to lack. The trio version of the Suite op. 149 adds to the repertoire of sacred chamber music. Rheinberger's later addition to the work of an ad libitum string orchestra takes this Suite into the world of the triple concerto and the concerto grosso, without exactly corresponding to those genres.

“The original ideal for the 'Variations on Hava Nagila' occurred to me in 1998. Since I had until then only occupied myself with European musical folklore, the idea of conducting research into the folklore of the Near (and somewhat later also the Far) East initially seemed to be something completely new and exotic. This very well-known Hebraic folksong has been retained in its original form here. Each of the variations of my piece for flute and piano, arranged in the classical sequential manner, presents the flutist with a new challenge (staccato, legato, Intervallic leaps, ascending and descending runs, broken chords, etc.). Although the piano has important tasks to perform in the overall structure of the piece, the piano part serves the function of an accompaniment for the most part.” (Dejan Lazic).

As recorded by Count Basie on the Roulette LP (Vogue CD) The Legend, Benny Carter has created a marvelous, quiet, smoky sounding tune ... somewhat in the vain of Whisper Not. This is a wonderful piece, so classic in its proportions, melody, harmony and its slow, swinging feel. There is solo space for trumpet, tenor sax and a bit of piano. Classic Basie! 5-4-3-4 (w/opt. 4th Trb.).

Ilkk a Kuusisto's raucous and technically somewhat challenging suite for clarinet and piano Kissalan Aapelin soitteita (Aapeli of Kissala plays the Clarinet) is a musical portrait gallery of the Seven Brothers by playwright Aleksis Kivi. They all get musical pictures played by Aapeli, a character also appearing in the play. Musical motives are derived from the characteristics of the main persons, ie. the movement Tuomas is in slow tempo, as if portraying the trustworthiness of stable Tuomas. Aapo's Menuetto may refer to the characters abilities to tell stories. Simeoni wrestles with the Devil, as he does in the book with both alcohol and in his religious beliefs. Eero, the youngest of the brothers is portrayed in a fast polka. The suite was commissioned by Tapio Lotjonen for specifically for piccolo clarinet. In this volume the solo part is published both in B-flat and E-flat transpositions, as prepared by the composer. Contents: 1. Jussin polska * Jussi's polska 2. Tuomas 3. Menuetti Aapolle * A Menuetto for Aapo 4. Simeoni ja Perkele * Simeoni and the Devil 5. Timon Masurkka * Timo's mazurka 6. Laurin marssi * Lauri's march 7. Eeron polkka * Eeros's polka.

Cami lle Saint-Saëns composed this Romance, Op. 51, in 1877, originally in the key of D major for cello and piano. The form of the piece is relatively simple, opening with a lyrical melody over a repetitive and somewhat rhythmic accompaniment. The middle section modulates to the key of the flattened 6th scale degree (B-flat major), using this to arrive at the dominant chord, in which there are some pseudo cadenza-like moments. Following this, a return to the opening melody with a slightly modified accompaniment, and subsequently a brief coda. To better accommodate the bass clarinet, the entire piece has been transposed up a half-step from the original version into a more comfortable key of E-flat major. Additionally, for much of the piece, the solo part has been lowered by an octave, as to make the piece generally more accessible to students. Should there be a desire to hear the piece more in the range of the original version, one could simply play it on a standard B-flat clarinet to achieve this effect. Though only about four minutes in length, this relatively short vignette captures much of the true essence of Saint-Saëns, not only through the harmonic progressions and accompanimental figures used, but also demonstrating his gift of turning a simple melody into something extraordinary.

In this sparkling composition, Harm Evers lets the trumpet section show off their style and versatility. Blow The Trumpets opens with an exciting passage that gives the trumpeters’ tonguing free rein. This is then contrasted with the melodic and somewhat bluesy character of the interlude

Gun uw trompettisten een plaats in de schijnwerpers! Met deze flitsende compositie van Harm Evers kan het. Want met Blow the Trumpets laat u uw publiek de stilistische veelzijdigheid van uw trompettisten zien. Terwijl ze erin het eerste deel in een razend tempo ‘vandoor gaan’, vergt het tweede deel met zijn blueskarakter een lieflijker en melodieuzer aanpak. Boeiend en vol afwisseling!

Mit dieser spritzigen Komposition gibt Harm Evers Ihren Trompetern die Möglichkeit, stilistische Vielseitigkeit unter Beweis zu stellen. Während sie im ersten Teil mit spitzen Zungen davon galoppieren, erfordert der Zwischenteil mit seinem Bluescharakter umso mehr melodische Ausdruckskraft.

Avec cette pétillante composition, Harm Evers donnera vos trompettistes la possibilité d’exposer les nombreuses facettes de cet extraordinaire instrument. Lors de la première partie, galopante et vivifiante, un détaché bien franc s’impose. La deuxième partie affiche quant elle toute l’expressivité de la trompette sur un thème aux essences bluesy.

Con questa vivace composizione, Harm Evers offre alle trombe la possibilit di mostrare le molteplici sfaccettature dello strumento. La parte centrale, di carattere blues, richiede un’esecuzione melodiosa.
