Bells,Instrumental Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.829115 Composed by Joey Brink. 20th Century,Contemporary. Individual part. 6 pages. Joey Brink #6645791. Published by Joey Brink (A0.829115). Invocation, by Joey Brink.Range: 4.5-octave carillon (G->C), with substitutions for 4-octave carillon (C,D->C).Invocation was commissioned by Yale University for the fiftieth anniversary of the Yale Memorial Carillon, and premiered by Brink at the 2016 GCNA congress at Yale. The piece begins mysteriously, playing with slow arpeggios in the hexatonic scale. A deeply expressive section follows, with chromatic harmonies and an impassioned lyrical line. After the melody dies, a rhythmic pattern emerges from silence, and builds over the course of several minutes in an unrelenting crescendo, evoking the sound of swinging bells.

Piano Quartet,String Ensemble - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.775997 Composed by Carson Cooman. Contemporary,Standards. Score and parts. 75 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #2035303. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.775997). Quartet for Piano and Strings (A Sea Liturgy) (2009) was jointly commissioned for the Moscow Studio for New Music and the Arcturus Chamber Ensemble (Sarah Darling, artistic director). It is dedicated to the Arcturus Chamber Ensemble on its 10th anniversary. The work is cast in a single movement and is conceived as a sea liturgy. It attempts to conjure up an imagined set of spiritual rituals (not connected to any specific religion)-a ceremony of transformation and renewal performed in the context of a sea landscape. Though not broken into movements, the formal design of the work could be seen as follows: Processional - (Ritornello) - Invocation - Offering - (Ritornello) - Baptism - Rebirth - Recessional As with so many of my works, much of the initial musical planning took place in the context of the oceanscapes of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. Those particular sea landscape were foremost in my mind while writing. The listener may also discard the imagined liturgical apparatus and simply listen to the work as a series of seascapes. (For the purposes of narrative clarity, the above section descriptors will be used in the below narrative.) The opening Processional begins with focused, austere intensity: the instruments unfold from a single pitch (E) into a more rich harmonic landscape. A Ritornello of pulsating string harmonics leads into Invocation, a warmly lyrical discourse. The Offering is a faster, jubilant development of the Invocation, where the prayerful melodies of the Invocation are transformed into a gift for the sea. A return of the Ritornello leads to the Baptism. In this section, heterophonic melodies unfold out of the new substrate pitch (D). In the transforming crucible of the water, these lines becomes more and more extended harmonically. The Rebirth is a dancing development of the Baptism; the harmonic extensions are pushed from dissonance into chords of pure joy. Emerging out of the afterglow of the Rebirth is the Recessional, in which the music of the Processional is revisited, now transformed by the ritual to center on the pitch D. The Recessional fades away peacefully, yet fervently.

Score and parts. 52 pages. Panagiotis Theodossiou #3213757. Published by Panagiotis Theodossiou (A0.886683). Two Rivers (from Lethe to Mnemosyne) for mezzo soprano, flute, clarinet, violin, cello and piano (2008)I. Lethe, the Water of Obliviona. The Guardiansb. Night Procession and LamentII. Mnemosyne, the Water of Remembrancea. Invocationb. IncantationThe work is written between September and December 2008 for mezzo soprano Angelica Cathariou and the Greek Ensemble of Contemporary Music under Valery Oreshkin. It is based on an excerpt of an ancient greek funerary inscription of 4th century B.C. found at the Trofonius Oracle in Petilia, South Italy.Γης παις ειμί και ουÏανοÏ, αστεÏόεντος. Î‘Ï…Ï„Î¬Ï ÎµÎ¼Î¿Î¯ γÎνος ουÏάνιον, τόδε ίστε και αυτοί. Δίψηι δ’ειμί αÏη και απόλλυμαι, αλλά δότ’ αίψα ψυχÏόν ÏÎ´Ï‰Ï Ï€ÏοÏÏÎον της ΜνημοσÏνης από λίμνης.(I am a child of earth and starry sky. My origin is celestial, and you know it very well. I am burning thurst and I loose myself. But give me soon cool water, springs from Lake Mnemosyne.)The text, which is being set at the 2nd part of the work, is an invocation of the soul descending to Hades to the guardians of lake Mnemosyne, to allow keeping its memory alive to the next life. Privilege, under tradition, of the initiate souls, counter to that of lake Lethe which led them to eternal oblivion.The two parts of the composition are the equivalent to the watery - metaphysical element of the two lakes - rivers running across Hades. The work is dedicated to the memory of composer's father Ioannis Theodossiou (1917 - 2008) and has been performed by Angelica Kathariou and the Greek Ensemble of Contemporary Music under Valery Oreshkin at Ph. Nakas Concert Hall, Athens, in 2009.

Kimberly Steele #5214035. Published by Kimberly Steele (A0.733370). The Orphic Hymns are a group of approximately 80 poems that survived from ancient Greece to the modern day. They are often recited in public but they aren't often set to music. This hymn to the god Hermes (also known as Mercury) is part of an original music series by me, Kimberly Steele, for modern people to learn and perform. These songs may also prove useful in prayer and invocation of the Greek gods. I am using the Thomas Taylor English translation, modified where necessary. .

Tenor voice solo, SATB choir unaccompanied - Moderately Difficult - Digital Download SKU: MQ.8322-E Composed by David Conte. Advanced/Collegiate. Secular, 21st Century, Americana, Children, Creation/Nature, Hope/Assurance. Instrument part. 15 pages. Duration 5 minutes, 42 seconds. E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital #8322-E. Published by E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital (MQ.8322-E). UPC: 600313483226. English. The three a cappella choral pieces that comprise “A Whitman Triptych†were composed between 2012 and 2014. O Setting Sun was commissioned by the Madison Chamber Choir, Madison, Wisconsin, Anthony Cao, conductor, and was premiered on April 20th, 2012. “What is the Grass†was composed for Cappella SF, Ragnar Bohlin, conductor, and is being premiered on tonight’s concert. Facing West was commissioned in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge by the International Orange Chorale, Zane Fiala, conductor, and was premiered on May 27th, 2012. I first set Whitman to music in 1986,when I adapted part of “When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomed†as the basis for my composition “Invocation and Dance.†I went on to set “Good-Bye, My Fancy†for Male Chorus and Soprano Saxophone in 1992, and “Song of the Open Road†for Mixed Chorus and Piano in 2004. Like so many composers, I have found the visionary quality of Whitman’s verse inspiring; the vigor and intensity of the poetry seem naturally to draw out music. “What is the Grass?†is also an adaptation of a much longer poem, one of Whitman’s deepest, and most mysterious. The poem begins as a child-like meditation on grass; as hope, as an embodiment of new life and new growth in the plant world. Then suddenly there is a somber turn with the line “And now it seems to me the beautiful uncut hair of graves.†Here Whitman enters an extended mediation on how grass connects life and death, informed by his experiences in the Civil War. Hope returns with the line: “They are alive and well somewhere,†leading to the mysterious final line: “And to die is different from what anyone supposed, and luckier…†Here Whitman affirms that death can be an initiation into a broader participation of existence. In the words of poet Ivan M. Granger, Whitman offers a “Zen-like riddle that doesn’t offer an answer so much as a pathway of questioning.†My musical setting follows Whitman’s exploration, first taking a child’s point of view, expressed with lilting melodies set in a lively compound meter. The entry of the tenor soloist indicates a change of mood to the serious. The first mood returns, leading to a climax on the words “And led forward life…â€, set in 9-part harmony. The mood turns reverent, as the tenor soloist intones: “All goes onward and outward; nothing collapses.†The piece ends with a tone of gentle, slightly ironic questioning. -David ConteDuration: 5:42
