I don’t feel sleepy and worrying, and also I’m not afraid of mistakes. I am wanting to play again. —Somsak     Chiang Mai, Thailand It was like playing with others with no words. No words, yet we were able to understand what we wanted by looking at each other’s eyes, body motion, and listening to each other. —Da Hoen     Seoul, South Korea Music brings people together.

Duration: 13’_______________ _________________________ __Text on the scanned back cover:JOHN HENRY'S BIG(MAN vs. MACHINE)FOR TROMBONE AND PIANOInspired by the tale of the legendary hero, Adolphus Hailstork’s tour-de-force for trombone and piano is a riveting portrayal of the steely strength and stamina of John Henry, a former slave who helped build the American railroads and ultimately outperformed a steam engine.
PROGRAM NOTES by the ComposerJohn Henry was born a slave in the 1840’s or 1850’s. It is important to remember that no one knows for sure if John Henry existed or is a tall tale created by writers. That is one of the things that makes the legend so intriguing.According to the legend, he grew to stand 6 feet tall, 200 pounds – a giant in that day.Though the story of John Henry sounds like the quintessential tall tale, it is certainly based, at least in part, on historical circumstance. There are disputes as to where the legend originates. Some place John Henry in West Virginia, while recent research suggests Alabama. Still, all share a similar back-story.In order to construct the railroads, companies hired thousands of men to smooth out terrain and cut through obstacles that stood in the way of the proposed tracks. One such chore that figures heavily into some of the earliest John Henry ballads is the blasting of the Big Bend Tunnel, more than a mile straight through a mountain in West Virginia.Steel-drivinâ� �™ men like John Henry used large hammers and stakes to pound holes into the rock, which were were then filled with explosives that would blast a cavity deeper and deeper into the mountain. In the folk ballads, the central event took place under such conditions. Eager to reduce costs and speed up progress, some tunnel engineers were using steam drills to power their way into the rock. According to the great American tall tales, on hearing of the machine, John Henry challenged the steam drill to a contest. He won, but died of exhaustion, his life cut short by his own superhuman effort.This composition uses quotes from the spiritual Every Time I Feel the Spirit and the folk song The Ballad of John Henry.JOHN HENRY’S BIG was composed for trombonist David Jackson.

The celebration of Christmas should begin with a joyous Noel!....a shout of joy!...a jubilant song of Christmas – pronouncing the birth of the newborn King…proclaiming the Good News that a Savior is born!

Acclaimed arrangers Jay Rouse, J. Daniel Smith, and David Wise partner to bring you this celebrated, new six-song Christmas choral collection, WE SING NOEL. Jay Rouse adeptly handles the arranging duties on “Adore” and “Noel,” the two new powerhouse Christmas worship songs from Chris Tomlin, along with an epic arrangement of “Sing Noel!”, the new Christmas anthem from Newsong. J. Daniel Smith has crafted two soaring, seasonal stunners with Matt Redman’s “His Name Shall Be” and Matthew West's “The Heart of Christmas.” David Wise rounds things out with a hauntingly beautiful refrain, this one also from Matt Redman, “How Far.”

Whether you present a simple Christmas concert, plan a massive Christmas production, or write and stage your own musical, the six songs in WE SING NOEL will each stake their claim for inclusion as you listen to this festive, worshipful and heroic Christmas palette showcasing the sounds and songs of the season.

Tightrope Walker is my first piece for full orchestra. Given the large forces available to me, I wanted to write something exciting, colorful and visceral. I remembered back to when I was a kid going to see the Cirque du Soleil. That trip made a big impression on me, especially the high wire performers. These were artists performing super-human feats high in the air, where even the slightest mistake guaranteed a fatal ending. This idea of danger, of risking one's life to entertain an audience has stayed with me, and Tightrope Walker is my attempt at recreating that special childhood experience. The opening of the piece hints at what's to come - a steady, walking pulse interrupted by missteps in the woodwinds. These missteps increase until the entire orchestra comes crashing down - not a good sign for our Tightrope Walker. The tempo slows and the atmosphere becomes tense. The primary themes of the piece are presented in fragments, most notably the Tightrope Walker's theme in the horns. The orchestra gradually recovers from the previous fall, becoming more lively and coherent until the original, faster tempo is restored. We are now at the circus, excited and expectant, and the fragmentary themes heard previously are now presented in their full forms. The anticipation builds until we hear a solo drum roll - the main act is about to begin. The second half of the piece depicts the Tightrope Walker performing for his audience. But from the outset, as in the beginning of the piece, we hear there are problems. The pressure mounts, the audience clamoring for more, until Tightrope Walker comes to a decisive and potentially fatal end.

Cantata for the 1st Sunday in Advent. Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Edited by Klaus Hofmann. Stuttgart Urtext Edition: Bach vocal. Sacred vocal music, Cantatas, Advent, Christmas. Study score. Composed 1731. BWV 36. 52 pages. Duration 31 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 31.036/07. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.3103607).

Bac h's well-known church cantata Schwingt freudig euch empor BWV 36 (Up joyous raise your song), first heard in its final version on First Advent Sunday in 1731 at the Leipzig Nikolaikirche, can be traced back to a secular birthday cantata from 1725. The text is now revised to render the events of Advent - the rejoicing of the opening chorus, the loving veneration and the warm-hearted welcome of the three solo arias retained from the original cantata now all apply to the Messiah, who, as once in Jerusalem, should find a place in the hearts of the faithful. However, their unmistakeable Advent character derives from the fact that Bach contrasts the four festive settings from the secular cantata with three strophes from Luther's Advent chorale, Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland, thus at the same time giving a voice to the Mystery of God made man. Score available separately - see item CA.3103600.
