Violin Solo - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1263839 Composed by Rudesindo Soutelo. Arranged by Solo Violin. 21st Century,Children,Classical,Contemporary. 15 pages. Publisher by Rudesindo Soutelo #856751. Published by Publisher by Rudesindo Soutelo (A0.1263839). A Alva Vidal CapómAlva (2006, revised in 2023) for Solo Violin [ca. 15'] 1. Alvorecer / Dawn 2. Leitura / Reading 3. Vagar / Slowly 4. Apoteose / ApotheosisPremière: 29-IV-2011. CCF Auditorium, Bandung (Indonesia). Int.: Eya Grimonia.Even the simplest things need a solid internal structure that supports their discourse and transcends it. This work was a birthday present to an 11-year-old girl who was born on the 11th of the month 11, and is built on her onomastic numbers [4, 5, 5] which generate the harmonic and melodic basis together with those of the composer [9, 7], those of her mother [6, 5, 7] and those of her brother [5, 5, 5]. Thus, the first movement, “Dawnâ€, is structured in 11 sections (it is a gift from the age of 11) of 4+5+5 bars. “Reading†has 9 sections of 4 bars and the melodic-harmonic sequence is formed by the complex [4, 5, 6, 7, 9], so we all find ourselves involved in the reading plot. The third movement, “Slowlyâ€, in 5/4, a reference to the names of the girl and her brother, has 3 sections of 5+5+5 bars; the brother’s turning round endlessly while the girl thinks about the turns that the world takes. The final “Apotheosisâ€, in the rhythm of 9+7 eighths, has two parts: in the first one there are 3 sections of 6+5+7 (the mother) opening the way to the 3 sections of the second part which represent the effervescence in the dawn of life (4+5+5).The most beautiful expression of mathematics, the language of the most intimate emotions, the essence of our own existence is in the music.--oOo--Até mesmo as coisas mais simples precisam duma sólida estrutura interna que sustente o seu discurso e o transcenda.Esta obra foi prenda de anos a uma menina de 11 anos que nasceu no dia 11 do mês 11, e está construÃda sobre os seus números onomásticos [4, 5, 5] que geram a base harmónica e melódica em conjunto com os do compositor [9, 7], os da sua mãe [6, 5, 7] e os do seu irmão [5, 5, 5]. Assim, o primeiro andamento, “Alvorejarâ€, está estruturado em 11 secções (é prenda dos 11 anos) de 4+5+5 compassos. “Leitura†tem 9 secções de 4 compassos e a sequência melódico-harmónica está conformada pelo complexo [4, 5, 6, 7, 9], assim, todos nos vemos envolvidos na trama leitora. O terceiro andamento, “Vagarâ€, em 5/4, referência aos nomes da menina e do seu irmão, tem 3 secções de 5+5+5 compassos; os do irmão a dar voltas sem fim enquanto a menina pensa nas voltas que dá o mundo. A “Apoteose†final, no ritmo de 9+7 oitavos, tem duas partes: na primeira há 3 secções de 6+5+7 (a mãe) abrindo o caminho à s 3 secções da segunda parte que representam a efervescência na alva da vida (4+5+5).A expressão mais formosa da matemática, a linguagem das emoções mais Ãntimas, a essência da nossa própria existência está na música.ISWC: T-045.522.028-6ISMN: 979-0-707704-14-1.

Small Ensemble Bass Guitar,Violin - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1013048 Composed by Christine Southworth. Contemporary,World. Score and parts. 76 pages. Airplane Ears Music #5802059. Published by Airplane Ears Music (A0.1013048). HEAVY METAL (2006, 18') for Balinese Gamelan Gong Kebyar, guitar, violin, bass, lyricon, and robotic instruments. Commissioned by the Boston Museum of Science with the support of NEFA and Meet the Composer. Premiered on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 at Cahner's Theater in the Boston Museum of Science as part of Music & The Invasion of Technology, performed by Gamelan Galak Tika, Blake Newman, Erik Nugent, Todd Reynolds, and Eddie Whalen. Heavy Metal represents a new kind of fusion, multi-dimensional, making connections across cultures acoustic and electronic, western and eastern, high and low, human and machine. The piece was written for Gamelan Galak Tika, a Balinese gamelan in residence at MIT that has worked with electric instruments many times in the past, but this is certainly the first time a traditional Balinese gamelan has shared the stage with robotic instruments. In other ways, though, there is something very natural about these combinations: they reflect the way we all experience music in the 21st century. It could also be argued that this is simply an extension of the way music has always progressed and changed, as Chinese shawms morphed into oboes, and exotic middle eastern percussion instruments, like the cymbal and triangle, worked their way into the symphony orchestra. Heavy Metal engages the full force of two ensembles, Galak Tika and Ensemble Robot, as well as a living history of electroacoustic instruments, from the vintage lyricon to the Whirlybot. The sounds implicit in both senses of the title find their way into new combinations of struck bronze and excitable circuitry. Heavy Metal is based on American hard rock music from the late 1970’s through the early 1990s. The idea started as a pun, because the keys of many Balinese gamelan instruments are made of metal, but when I began studying the melodic ideas and rhythms in heavy metal music, I found that they leant themselves very well to gamelan. The problem was that a gamelan has a very specific sound and limited timbral variation, the sounds of hit metal and skin. I feel that the sounds of the gamelan become much more interesting when combined with string sounds. Also, the gamelan uses a pentatonic scale so I am using western instruments and robots to expand the sound universe to a full spectrum. In this piece, the gamelan and the western/robotic instruments play separately – rhythmically they are together, and they are working through the same material at the same time, but the western instruments and robots do not play the 5 notes that the gamelan plays, and more often than not they stay out of that key (a variation of E Major, the gamelan tuning being C#, D#, E, G, and A) altogether. This creates a sense of two harmonic worlds co-existing and cooperating, the West and our technology with Bali and their technology, much more primitive but very powerful nonetheless.About the ComposerChristine Southworth (b. 1978) is a composer and video artist based in Lexington, Massachusetts, dedicated to creating music born from a cross-pollination of sonic ideas. Inspired by intersections of technology and art, nature and machines, and musics from cultures around the world, her music employs sounds from man and nature, from Van de Graaff Generators to honeybees, Balinese gamelan to seismic data from volcanoes.

Published by Ciro Hernández (A0.1404548). This work for string and wind quintet was written for the Ensemble Difracción, resident in the Canary Islands. This work tries to describe in a very rhapsodic way the moments of dawn, from the first ray of light that is born on the horizon to the stressful life we ​​have at noon. In a fairly tonal language, the work never stops mixing modality and letting itself be carried away by modern sounds, in which rhythmic force is common.

Howard (A0.1408376). Lines on a Walk II takes its title from the Pedagogical Sketchbook by the Swiss-born artist Paul Klee (1925). Klee was fascinated by music (he played the violin) and many composers have interpreted Klee's notion of 'line' as a way to conceive musical melody. Lines on a Walk II is an abridged chamber version of the original Lines on a Walk piece that was flexibly scored in 15 instrumental parts. This second version is specifically written for flute, clarinet, piano, percussion (any 3 apt untuned instruments, plus marimba & vibraphone), violin, and cello. It was written for IXION and first performed by them, conducted by composer Michael Finnissy in 2001. Note: this document is the full score only. The full set of parts (and score) are available via a search of the COMA Music Library.Duration: 2 minutes 30 seconds.Registered with PRS (Performing Rights Society, UK).Composer's website: www.roberthowardmusic.co.ukÂ

Instrumental Duet,Percussion,Violin - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1248663 By Evelyn Glennie. By Eugene Astapov. 21st Century,Chamber,Classical,Contemporary. 26 pages. EAMUSIC #843160. Published by EAMUSIC (A0.1248663). Composing Tiny Shattered Pieces was a truly immersive musical journey due to the sheer amount of time it took to write it and how much time I spent thinking about this piece. Since the work was commissioned before the start of the 2020 pandemic, but rescheduled for a premiere 2 years later – I could write, re-write and re-think this piece from start to finish multiple times. In the end there was enough material for a 30-minute composition, but so much of it was so different due to the different moods one would go through during a pandemic, that compiling it into 5 separate short musical statements was the most natural conclusion.   The music embarks on a journey of discovery, love, destruction, reconciliation, suffering, and by the end of it – war. Naturally at the end of a 2-year period a person evolves and goes through a myriad of different experiences, but few artists or composers experienced the world going through a tectonic shift from the early 2000s until now, therefore I felt it necessary to touch upon many different topics through the language of this work, including the personal and the universal. Each of the movements is a complete statement but together the movements form a larger pyramid-like structure, completing each other’s thoughts, propelling them and eventually bringing them to conclusion.    It should be noted that by the time I was reaching the end of the compositional process – a major war started with Russia invading Ukraine. Being a Ukrainian-born composer, the issue affected me deeply and sipped into the music by the end of the 4th movement. This is where the pyramid reaches its peak and should be appropriately shaped by the musicians.   The piece is approximately 10 minutes in duration and is to be performed with utmost freedom, gusto and conviction. The performers must not shy away from making the sounds crunch together, piercing through the hall, but at the same time the more quiet, gentle parts should be appropriately shaped and bring much needed comfort. The work is about contrasts, outbursts of emotions, quiet sobbing, rage and solitude.  The piece is approximately 12 minutes long. It was commissioned by Dame Evelyn Glennie in cooperation with Calgary's Land's End Ensemble.
