680160920594. A new
day. A new event. A new
opportunity. We look
forward to these things
and the potential they
hold. We live our lives
looking forward, but we
understand them looking
backward (a thought of
Danish philosopher Soren
Kierkegaard). We do not
always know what the
future may hold, but we
must remember: first,
there are no guarantees
beyond the time and
opportunity we are given
to do good. Second,
change around us is
inevitable. Finally, and
the most important
aspect, we have choices.
This lesson is fixed to
the composer's office
door: Today is the
greatest day of your
life, if you want it to
be. Why not look forward
to the Promise on the
Horizon and the
possibilities for
greatness that lie within
it? The opening motif of
this concert fanfare is
purposely inquisitive as
the piece seeks to
establish its first
steps. The subtle shift
at measure 37 and again
at measure 69 are
reminders of the
challenges that await us
during the journey. Here
again it is a matter of
choice - do we choose to
let circumstances define
us, or do we define the
circumstances? The
section at 93 is a
resounding answer that we
will move barriers,
overcome obstacles and
keep our vision looking
forward. The piece builds
toward an exciting
conclusion from measure
127 onward. The piece
reinforces several basic
rhythmic patterns in 6/8
time. As a number of
these rhythms are
repeated, it provides an
easy opportunity for the
entire ensemble to grow
more comfortable
performing in this meter.
While it is a
fanfare-type piece,
remind young musicians to
play with lightness and
precision, rather than
intensity in volume.
Maintaining this style of
articulation and accuracy
helps the rhythms in 6/8
time maintain their
buoyancy. It is vital
that each musician
listens for the melody
and balances their part,
especially in moments
where the melody is
passed between sections.
If vibes are not
available, a second bell
set can be employed in
its place. It is hoped
that this piece is an
uplifting way to open
your next concert, and a
meaningful opportunity
for you to discuss the
power of making positive
choices with your
students in the ensemble
(as a reminder, regular
practicing of their
instrument is a positive
choice). Wishing you and
your ensemble well as you
look to the Promise on
the Horizon. A new
day. A new event. A new
opportunity. We look

No. 6 for orchestra,
1997-99. Preface /
Program Note:... with the
Lord a day is like a
thousand years, and a
thousand years is like a
day(New Testament, 2
Peter 3:8)My SYMPHONY NO.
6 was commissioned by the
Danish National Radio
Symphony Orchestra, the
Gteborg Symphony
Orchestra and the Oslo
Philharmonic Orchestra,
to be premiered at the
millenium 2000.The
subtitle AT THE END OF
THE DAY can be understood
literally or it can mean
when all is added up.
However, in my opinion,
nothing ever quite adds
up, there is always
something missing, any
ending will be
provisional ...This
symphony appears to end
only a few minutes into
the first movement, the
first passage, as the
music fades away to
almost-silence, after a
start of flying colours.
But then there is still
something, a small motive
(first heard in the
initial sound-waves)
which reappears,
hesitant, but persistent,
and this embryo is what
leads on the musical
progression. An agitated
section of many
instrumental voices comes
next, until all the
voices become obsessed
with the same phrase, a
see-saw motive based on
thirds. This section
evolves into almost
martial ferocity, when
broken off by a tutti
descent into an extreme
bass-world (a bass-world
which actually permeates
the whole symphony,
emplyoing instruments
that I have never used
before: double-bass tuba,
double-bass trombone,
double-bass clarinet, and
bass flute).The second
movement, the second
passage, apparently takes
off where the first
passage ended, but now
the events are more
ambiguous, and the same
music may be perceived as
fast-moving one moment
and slow-moving the next.
This section is a kind of
passacaglia, the
characteristic baroque
bass-variation.Without a
break follows the third
and last passage, in a
contrasting high
register. The music is
rhythmically knotty as
well as freely flowing.
As in the beginning of
the symphony, a
never-ending descent or
fall breaks off the
events, and at the very
end a delta of new
beginnings, of other
worlds, is revealed
....The symphony is
dedicated to Helle, my
wife. - Per Norgard. $125.50 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

680160918317. As
the title suggests, there
should be a
tongue-in-cheek aspect to
the performance of this
piece with the idea that
it doesn't take itself
too seriously. Close
attention should be paid
to staccato notes, making
sure not to play them too
short and clipped,
keeping in mind that a
staccato quarter note
should have the length of
an eighth note and not
the length of a sixteenth
note. Although the piece
is a march, it needn't
conform to any strict
interpretation of what a
march should be. Some of
the tongued eighth-note
passages may need to be
double-tongued, depending
on tempo, using the
Dig-A-Duck method. For
instance at m. 34 the
repeated eighth notes
might be tongued
dig-a-da-duck,
dig-a-duck, da dot dot.
Slurred eighth-note
passages should follow
the curve of the line,
getting slightly louder
as notes ascend and
slightly softer as they
descend. Measure 39
through m. 51 will have a
somewhat chaotic feel, so
go with the flow! The
sparsely orchestrated
passage at m. 68 is
understated--perhaps a
little spacey in keeping
with our theme--and not
to be overplayed until
the crescendo at m. 88,
when we return to
business as usual.
Trumpets show off again
(rarely a problem for
trumpet players) on the
D. S. back to m. 6. On
the Coda, another
disjointed-sounding
theme, again departing
from any strict
interpretation of a
march--again, making sure
that the staccatos are
not too clipped--is
followed by a repeat of
the main theme, this time
layered. Care should be
taken to balance the
entrances of the layered
instrument groups as they
enter. An exuberant final
four measures puts the
cherry on top. Percussion
can play out for the most
part, very little
subtlety required.
Overall, this piece is
meant to be FUN, for both
the performers and the
audience!. As the

minor. Promised
Land is a
serious-sounding, new
piece for the developing
band that sounds much
more difficult than it
plays, allowing your
students to show off
while remaining at their
ability level. The title
has its roots in the
ideals of John Humphrey
Noyes, who founded the
Oneida community in the
late 1840s. He built a
thriving agricultural and
spiritual community that
became his
“promised
land.†The music
depicts the struggles and
triumph of those first
settlers in the area, who
worked the land and
fought for their ideals
through much persecution.
Promised Land contains
all of the rhythmic
interest and memorable
motives that Sean's music
is so known for. It is
also an excellent choice
for contest/festival. $9.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

680160610860. 11 x 14
inches. One of my
greatest pleasures in
writing a concerto is
exploring the new world
that opens for me each
time I enter the
sometimes alien, but
always fascinating, world
of a solo instrument or
instruments. For me, the
challenge is to discover
the deepest nature of the
solo instrument (its
karma, if you will) and
to allow that essential
character to guide the
shape and form of the
work and the nature of
the interaction between
soloists and orchestra.
In recent years, many of
us have become more aware
of the musical world
outside the Western
tradition of musics that
follow different
procedures and spring
from other aesthetics.
And contemporary
percussionists have
opened many of these
worlds to us, as they
have ventured around the
globe, participating in
Brazilian Samba schools,
studying Gamelan and
African drumming with
local experts, collecting
instruments from Asia and
Africa and South America
and the South Pacific,
widening our horizons in
the process. I will never
forget our first meeting
in Toronto when Nexus
invited me into their
world of hundreds of
exciting percussion
instruments. The vast
array of instruments in
the collection of the
Nexus ensemble is truly
global in scope as well
as offering a thrilling
sound-universe. I was
inspired by the
incredible range of sound
and moved by the fact
that so many of these
instruments were musical
reflections of a
spiritual dimension.
After long consideration,
I decided that it would
not only be impossible,
but even undesirable for
this
Western-tradition-steeped
composer to attempt to
use these instruments in
a culturally authentic
way. My goal was an
existential kind of
authenticity: searching
instead for universal
ideas that would be true
to both myself and the
performers while
acknowledging the
traditional uses of the
instruments. Since many
percussion instruments
are associated with
various kinds of ritual,
I decided that I would
allow that concept to
shape my piece. Rituals
is in four movements,
each issuing from a
ritual associated with
percussion, but with the
orchestral interaction
providing an essential
element in the musical
form. I. Invocation
alludes to the traditions
of invoking the spirit of
the instruments, or the
gods, or the ancestors
before performing. II.
Ambulation moves from a
processional, through
march and dance to
fantasy based on all
three. III. Remembrances
alludes to traditions of
memorializing. IV.
Contests progresses from
friendly competition
games, contests to a
suggestion of a battle of
big band drummers, to
warlike exchanges. In the
2nd and 4th movements,
another percussion
tradition, improvisation,
is employed. Written into
these movements are a
number of seeds for
improvisation.
Indications in the score
call for the soloists to
improvise in three
different ways, marked A
for percussion alone;
marked B for percussion
with and in response to
the orchestra; and C
where the percussionists
are free to add and
embellish the written
parts. These
improvisations should
grow out of and embellish
previous motives and
gestures in the
movement. $95.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

by Michael
Hamburger. O The
Chimneys is a setting of
five poems by Nelly
Sachs, the great
German-Jewish 1966 Nobel
Prize co-winner in
literature, whose writing
concerned itself almost
entirely with the subject
of the holocaust.
Composed in 1969, the
work was my own personal
way of saying, through my
own art, do not forget.
Shockingly, these words
have as much relevance
today as they did when
the work was written.
Today we find ourselves
having to say do not
forget, do not distort,
do not deny it ever
happened. I
selected the five poems
from Sachs' O The
Chimneys collection,
retaining its grimly
evocative title even
though I did not include
the actual poem by that
name. In scoring the work
for female voice, flute,
clarinet/bass clarinet,
cello, piano and
percussion, I aimed to
give myself the broadest
possible palette of
instrumental colors while
using the smallest number
of participants. Yet as I
was planning the final
moments of my cycle, I
felt that instrumental
sound alone would not
suffice to express the
horror. An electronic
tape segment was added to
the work's final climax.
The first two
poems (A Dead Child
Speaks and Already
Embraced by the Arm of
Heavenly Solace), both
depicting the tearing of
a child away from his
mother, are treated
essentially as one unit,
with the first acting as
an introduction to the
second. These two, and
the cycle's apocalyptic
fifth poem (Hell is Naked
from Glowing Enigmas II),
act as the two weighty
pillar points, so to
speak, surrounding the
more introspective two
middle poems (Fleeing and
Someone Comes). To
maximize dramatic
differentiation within
the constraints of a
relentlessly tragic
subject matter, I used
range as a means to
delineate contrast, by
dividing the sounds
available to me into low
and dark (mvt. III) vs.
high and, at times,
eerily bright (mvt. IV)
colors. Thus the two
middle poems are intended
to balance the frenzied
madness of which the
work's outer parts are
made. The work
received its first
performance in New York
at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art's Grace
Rainey Auditorium on
January 19, 1970.

rolles for a Sinking City
was inspired by the city
of Venice, a place that
has long held the
fascination of artists,
writers and composers,
and which I have been
lucky enough to visit on
several occasions. Sadly
it seems that future
generations may not be so
lucky: in addition to the
city's slow sinking and
recently discovered
tilting, studies predict
that if global warming
and the resultant rise of
ocean levels is unabated,
the entire city (as well
as many other coastal
cities around the globe)
will be under water by
2100. I. Funeral
Gondola The late, cryptic
piano works of Franz
Liszt made a profound
impression on me as a
young composer, among
them two works he
entitled La Lugubre
Gondola (usually
translated as The Funeral
Gondola ) which were said
to be a premonition of
Wagner's death in Venice,
his coffin transported
through the canals in a
black gondola. These late
pieces of Liszt acquired
even greater significance
to me after I spent two
summers in Bayreuth under
the patronage of
Friedelind Wagner, the
granddaughter of Wagner
and great-granddaughter
of Liszt. This movement
is a meditation on
Wagner, Liszt, Venice and
its own evanescence. II.
Barcarolle/Quodlibet The
Quodlibet (Latin for what
pleases) is a musical
form dating back to the
15th century where many
disparate melodies are
juxtaposed. Popular in
the Renaissance, sacred
and secular melodies were
combined, often to
comical effect due to the
resultant incongruity of
the words. The form was
considered the ultimate
test of a composer's
mastery of counterpoint.
The most famous Quodlibet
is without doubt the
final Variation of Bach's
Goldberg Variations. As a
form the Quodlibet is
less common in more
recent music, although
examples can be found in
the works of Kurt Weill
and David Del Tredici.
My own
Barcarolle/Quodlibet was
inspired by the (perhaps
apocryphal) story of the
funeral where musicians
were asked to play a Bach
Choral, but due to
miscommunication played
instead the Bacarolle
from The Tales of
Hoffmann. Here, the Bach
Choral Allen Menschen
mussen sterben (All Men
Must Die) is heard in the
strings pizzicato, with a
tempo indication In slow
motion. The alto line of
the Bach suggests a
phrase from Beethoven's
Ninth Symphony (Alle
Menchen werden Bruder)
heard in the muted
trombone. Before long,
the famous tune from
Offenbach's opera is
heard, followed by
quotations from iconic
Barcarolles by Chopin,
Mendelssohn and Faure, as
well as two Venetian
popular songs and more
Beethoven. III.
Barcarola/Ostinato/Carill
on An ostinato is a
repeated musical figure,
and carillon is Italian
for music box. This
movement references the
obsolete genre of salon
pieces that imitated
music boxes: such works
by composers like Liadov
and Gretchaninov used to
be a mainstay of
pianists' encore
repertoire. This movement
is however much darker in
conception than those
pleasant trifles.
Utilizing the full
battery of percussion,
the carefully notated
temporal slowing of the
ostinato becomes
overwhelmed by a poignant
chorale melody before
this box is snapped shut.
IV. Barcarolle
Oubliee (Forgotten
Barcarolle) Marked
limpido (still) the final
movement begins with the
sound of rain produced by
a percussion instrument
called (appropriately) a
rain stick. Halting
phrases in the harp
coalesce into the
accompaniment for a
plangent melody heard in
the clarinet. The central
Adagio of this movement
leads to a shattering
climax, before the
opening phrases return
and dissipate into
nothingness. $48.99 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

pleases) is a musical
form dating back to the
15th century where many
disparate melodies are
juxtaposed. Popular in
the Renaissance, sacred
and secular melodies were
combined, often to
comical effect due to the
resultant incongruity of
the words. The form was
considered the ultimate
test of a composer's
mastery of counterpoint.
The most famous Quodlibet
is without doubt the
final Variation of Bach's
Goldberg Variations. As a
form the Quodlibet is
less common in more
recent music, although
examples can be found in
the works of Kurt Weill
and David Del Tredici.
My own
Barcarolle/Quodlibet was
inspired by the (perhaps
apocryphal) story of the
funeral where musicians
were asked to play a Bach
Choral, but due to
miscommunication played
instead the Bacarolle
from The Tales of
Hoffmann. Here, the Bach
Choral Allen Menschen
mussen sterben (All Men
Must Die) is heard in the
strings pizzicato, with a
tempo indication In slow
motion. The alto line of
the Bach suggests a
phrase from Beethoven's
Ninth Symphony (Alle
Menchen werden Bruder)
heard in the muted
trombone. Before long,
the famous tune from
Offenbach's opera is
heard, followed by
quotations from iconic
Barcarolles by Chopin,
Mendelssohn and Faure, as
well as two Venetian
popular songs and more
Beethoven. III.
Barcarola/Ostinato/Carill
on An ostinato is a
repeated musical figure,
and carillon is Italian
for music box. This
movement references the
obsolete genre of salon
pieces that imitated
music boxes: such works
by composers like Liadov
and Gretchaninov used to
be a mainstay of
pianists' encore
repertoire. This movement
is however much darker in
conception than those
pleasant trifles.
Utilizing the full
battery of percussion,
the carefully notated
temporal slowing of the
ostinato becomes
overwhelmed by a poignant
chorale melody before
this box is snapped shut.
IV. Barcarolle
Oubliee (Forgotten
Barcarolle) Marked
limpido (still) the final
movement begins with the
sound of rain produced by
a percussion instrument
called (appropriately) a
rain stick. Halting
phrases in the harp
coalesce into the
accompaniment for a
plangent melody heard in
the clarinet. The central
Adagio of this movement
leads to a shattering
climax, before the
opening phrases return
and dissipate into
nothingness. $90.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

9790206208133. I
wrote the composition The
Iron Tetrapod for the
Graham Ashton Brass
Ensemble. Originally
scored for four brass
instruments, I rearranged
the work - at the
suggestion of Ingo
Goritzki - for 2 oboes,
bassoon and piano, which
eventually led to the new
version for piano
quartet. The piece
combines the world of
chamber music and jazz.
When it comes to phrasing
and rhythm the vernacular
is clearly derived from
jazz. At the same time
the structural
development of the piece
roots in chamber music
traditions. With a
duration of somewhat more
than 4 minutes, it is a
relatively compact
composition, sounding
well in all sorts of
instrumental combinations
and offers new challenges
in phrasing and rhythm.
Hence this makes it a
very suitable study
piece. $38.95 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

This is a great
opportunity to
incorporate a modern
concerto into your band's
repertoire, which will
provide a fresh and
appealing concert item
for your upcoming season.
The work follows the
standard 3-movement
concerto form witha
syncopated, rag-like
opening movement
contrasting with a
slower, beautifully
English-sounding second
movement. The third
movement is based on a
bebop style to show off
the jazzier qualities of
the clarinet. This
substantial workis
suitable for a Grade 4

Stadler was
verantwoordelijk voor
veel technische
verbeteringen aan zowel
de klarinet als de
bassethoorn, hij voegde
extra kleppentoe aan
beide instrumenten,
waardoor het bereik van
de klarinet in de laagte

schreef dit concerto voor

English. Nature,
Tansy Davies' gloriously
offbeat concerto for
piano and ten instruments
from 2012, teems with
invention. This 20-minute
work was inspired by
shamanic rituals and the
supernatural, and Davies
describes the piano as
'part moth, part Maenad'.
There is a feral quality
to much of the tumultuous
solo writing---all
hyperactive trills and
gutsy bass eruptions,
shot through with rare
and unexpected moments of
calm. Brilliantly
imaginative, and packed
full of glistening,
ever-changing ensemble
textures, this remarkable
reimagining of the
concerto form sees Davies
craft yet another
thrilling and wholly

inches. The depth
and inventiveness of
Amanda Harberg’s
SUITE FOR WIND QUINTET
can only be described as
remarkable. Harberg
combines the rich
tradition of renaissance
and baroque dance suites
with her own American
voice, stirring up
dramatic, exciting sounds
and stories. Cantus uses
the imitative entries of
renaissance motets as a
jumping off point into a
more contemporary world.
The playfully virtuosic
Furlana refers to the
Italian folk dance rhythm
in 6, punctuated by lots
of unexpected 5’s.
Fantasia hints at being a
lullaby with an animated
and jazz-influenced
middle section, and the
closing Cabaletta is true
to its 19th-century
meaning of a rousing
closing section following
beautiful lyricism. SUITE
FOR WIND QUINTET was
commissioned and
premiered by the Dorian
Wind Quintet. Amanda
Harberg’s Suite
for Wind Quintet was
commissioned by the
Dorian Wind Quintet in
2017. The piece was the
result of a conversation
in a bar between Harberg,
Dorian’s flutist
Gretchen Pusch and
Pusch’s husband
Richard Bayles, on the
occasion of
Dorian’s
clarinetist Ben
Fingland’s 40th
birthday party. A year
and a half later, the
Dorian Wind Quintet gave
the world premiere of
Harberg’s quintet
at Bargemusic, and has
incorporated it into
their repertoire ever
since. Suite for Wind
Quintet is in four
movements- 1. Cantus, 2.
Furlana, 3. Fantasia and
4. Cabaletta. The melodic
material heard in the
very opening of the piece
can be heard recurring
and transforming
throughout the four
movements, until it
unites triumphantly in
the final coda with the
theme of the concluding
movement. The piece was
inspired by the concept
of placing Renaissance
and Baroque-inspired
dance suites into
Harberg’s idiom as
a 21st century
composer. $50.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |
