This cheerful and varied piece is characterised by its ABA form. The first motif is developed with energy and vigour right from the start. The second movement is more serious and exudes an air of romance too. The third and final movement takeselements of the introduction, which together with a rather complex rhythmic line, lead to a triumphant conclusion.

Dit opgewekte, afwisselende stuk is geschreven in ABA-vorm. Het eerste motief wordt van het begin af aan op energieke en resolute wijze gespeeld. Het tweede deel is serieuzer van karakter, met een vleugje romantiek. Het derde en laatste deel omvatelementen uit de inleiding, die gecombineerd met een complexe ritmische lijn naar een triomfantelijk slot voeren.

In diesem unterhaltsamen und abwechslungsreichen Stück ist eine klare ABA Form erkennbar. Das kraftvolle Auftaktthema, das sich im ersten Satz entwickelt, wird im zweiten Satz zunächst durch eine getrageneres, beinahe romantisches Thema abgelöst,kehrt dann aber im dritten Satz in einer stärker rhythmisierten Form wieder und beschert dem Stück schließlich ein strahlendes Finale.

La forme ABA est mise en évidence dans cette composition agréable et variée. En effet, trois thèmes composent cette oeuvre. Dès les premières mesures, un motif énergique et soutenu est exploité. Le deuxième mouvement est plus serein et quelque peuromantique. S’ensuit le dernier mouvement qui reprend les éléments de l’introduction, appuyés par une rythmique relativement développée jusqu’au finale triomphant.

Questo pezzo allegro e movimentato è caratterizzato dalla sua forma ABA. Il primo motivo viene sviluppato sin dall’inizio con energia e incisivit . Il secondo tema, invece, è più serio e trasmette un tocco di romanticismo. Il terzo e ultimo temariprende elementi dell’introduzione che, insieme a una linea ritmica piuttostocomplessa, conduce a un finale trionfale.

The ABA form is highlighted in this pleasant and varied piece. This work is indeed composed of three themes. Right from the opening bars, an energetic and sustained motif is developed. The second movement is more serene and somewhat romantic. Finally, the third movement reintroduces the opening elements, now supported by quite an elaborate rhythmic line leading to a triumphant finale.

Resolute was composed to celebrate the enduring spirit of those who persevere and overcome difficult challenges with fearless determination.

The shadows of hardship are heard in a brief shift to E minor before the victorious melody returns with joy that defies darkness with courageous hope. The same way we support each other through trials, many melodies and countermelodies are doubled between sections to portray strength and resolve.Resolute was premiered by the East River High School Orchestra in May of 2022 under the direction of Mr. Scott Friedberg in honor of the orchestra’s 4-year anniversary, and dedicated to the courageous students who continued to make music through the pandemic, demonstrating determination and tenacity in their passionate pursuit of musical excellence.

Madame Butterfly. Composed by Giacomo Puccini. Edited by Kurt Pahlen. This edition: Paperback/Soft Cover. Paperback. Serie Musik. Classical. Text book/libretto. 288 pages. Schott Music #SEM 8013. Published by Schott Music (HL.49012027).

ISBN 9783254080134. 4.75x7.5x0.636 inches. Italian - German.

Puccini had hardly finished his work on 'Tosca' in 1900 and seen its first performances when a new potential opera subject attracted his attention during a theatre visit in London: the play staged was 'Madame Butterfly. Tragedy of a Japanese Woman'. At the beginning of 1904, the musical setting of this subject matter was completed - the work was a failure at the world premiere. Thereupon, Puccini revised it into a three-act version, and it was in this form that the opera about the unhappy Japanese woman began its triumphant progress.Apart from the Italian libretto and the common German translation, this edition contains introductory commentaries of Kurt Pahlen who also adds information on the compositional structure and context to the musical as well as external and internal dramatic action of the opera. A short synopsis and a brief outline of the genesis bring the work into relation with the composer's entire oeuvre and life, thus offering a comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction.

This powerful work depicts the frantic voyage of the RMS Carpathia, the first ship to arrive on the scene after receiving a distress call from the Titanic. Determined to save as many lives as possible, the captain managed to squeeze 17 knots out of a supposed 14-knot vessel. The music depicts the vibrations of the ship's hull along with the hissing of the boiler. As Carpathia arrives on the terrible scene, the music relinquishes its fast pace to a slow, mournful hymn. After a brief moment of tranquility, the music intensifies as the rescue ship embarks on her triumphant yet tragic return voyage to safety. Absolutely stunning! (2:10).
