Commissioned by The Manchester Grammar School to celebrate its quincentenary in 2015. First performed on 16 April 2015 at the Bridgewater Hall Manchester by The Manchester Grammar School Choir Hallé Youth Choir and Hallé Orchestra conducted by Mark Elder. Composer’s Note: 'A Celestial Map of the Sky commissioned by The Manchester Grammar School on the occasion of its quincentenary takes its cue from two woodcuts engraved by the German polymath Albrecht Dürer in 1515 the same year in which school was founded. These two groundbreaking polar projections of the northern and southern celestial hemispheres are the oldest printedEuropean star charts. Whereas prior celestial projections sometimes depicted allegorical figures looking over the skies Dürer instead honoured four ancient astronomers by depicting them at their work overseeing his maps. The various texts I have chosen (mostly extractions from larger works) reflect the changing worldview hinted at in Dürer’s charts. His inclusion of the four astronomers was a signal that the universe could be comprehended through human intervention rather than solely through spiritual or symbolic means.' - Tarik O’Regan

Full Score-The inspiration for the Sixth Symphony comes from the composer's twelve years studying in the U.S. It is his very first expressive output that is completely autobiographical. The composer described it as a memorial of my years between middle school and college in which I witnessed my own drastic characther development severe social problems lacerated friendships frantic family relationships and the overall confusion toward my own ethics. Most importantly it is a realistic portrayal of the many Chinese students studying in the West spiritually torn between the two cultures. The work is constructed as a single union without movements or breaks and lasts between 40 and45 minutes. Instrumentation: 2+1.3.3.3: 4.3.3.1: Timp.Perc(4).Pno.Hp: Str(16.14.12.10.8 min)

Par BULLA STEPHEN. Stephen Bulla strikes gold again with this accessible but jazzy Trombone section feature. There is plenty of rhythmic fun for everyone while the trombones get that important time out front. The old spiritual 'The Gospel Train' lends itself beautifully to a swing-jazz treatment and if there's anyone who knows how to bring the jazz idiom to the concert band setting it's Stephen Bulla. If you prefer, two Trombone soloists can be featured while the rest of the section plays along on the Euphonium part. Your band will want to do this one again and again, and so will you, so Get On Board! / Niveau : 2 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie et 3 Trombones

A rare find... a Father's Day offering that is very special call to purpose for dads. Using Jesus' earthly father Joseph as a model the text explores a variety of ways that we can nurture spiritual excellence in our children.

What a glorious treatment of this uplifting spiritual with exquisite vocal and piano writing from Jerry DePuit! This arrangement contains antiphonal as well as homophonic passages featured moments for women and men twomodulations and a musical setting that ebbs and flows ending with a decrescendo into vocal hums. An outstanding choral work that is playful while reverent in its celebratory fashion. Available separately: SATB SAB PianoTrax CD35016963.

Par LISZT FRANZ. This final volume in Liszt?s Années de pèlerinage in the Urtext edition by renowned Liszt scholar, Leslie Howard, contains the Troisième Année ? Italie S163, together with Trois Odes funèbres S516, S516a and S517. Although the Odes funèbres are not originally part of the Années they have been included in this volume because they form a musical and spiritual bridge between Années II and III. Together, these works demonstrate a character not met elsewhere in the great music literature of the nineteenth century. The thinning out of the style, almost to the point of deliberate barrenness, and the simultaneous impression of avant-garde pioneering and the reflection in solitude, even loneliness, that comes with age are particular to Liszt.
