Violin Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1004155 Composed by Matthew Phillips. 20th Century,Contemporary. 4 pages. Matthew Scott Phillips #6213023. Published by Matthew Scott Phillips (A0.1004155). The Purpose of my music is to mythologize the world around us: to not only signify but make significant the experience of life. In doing so, I attempt to reach beyond what can be described in words, to the transcendent and spiritually profound, and to take the listener with me. Mine is not music to be analyzed, but experienced. The art Kulning is the practice in rural Norway and Sweden of singing high pitched melodies to call livestock herds down from the high mountains where they would graze. The songs can be unique to an individual, but are often family based so that the animals know the specific melody of their owners' calls. Though disappearing, these haunting melodies can still be heard today in parts of the Scandinavian countryside, and imbue the land with a sacred tone.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkFS1PbS7oXOdM22kwII36Awww.matthewscottphillips.comwww.matthewscottphillips.com

Matthew Scott Phillips #6213101. Published by Matthew Scott Phillips (A0.1004160). Inspired by David Levinthal’s photography and esthetic, The Cold Comfort of Toys presents a musical look into the use of toys, dolls, and action figures to attempt to come to grips with aspects of the human psyche that are traumatic, uncomfortable, or emotionally exhausting. This piece, like these toys, is not innately any of those things, but seeks rather, to stylize their portrayal in a way that makes these aspects relatable, and capable of being endured.www.matthewscottphillips.comhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkFS1PbS7oXOdM22kwII36A

It operated from 1882-1971, at which time it was closed and made into a museum and national park. Walking through the gigantic structure of the industrial park, which is generally considered to be haunted, brings one into to contact with the memory of the many people who labored, and sometimes died there. It is not only a monument to the industrial past, but a sacred space, removed from the city around it, and prescient with an other-worldly quality.www.matthewscottphillips.comhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkFS1PbS7oXOdM22kwII36A

Published by Matthew Scott Phillips (A0.1004163). When I was a child, my grandparents once took my brother and me to spend a day in the woods by the Coosa River. While we were walking through the forests we came across a cave that burrowed into the rock of a cliff face. My grandfather called it a shoemaker's cave, but I didn't know why it was called that. All I remember is that my brother and I wanted to go in, but my grandmother wouldn't allow it. I've always wondered what might have been in there.

Published by Matthew Scott Phillips (A0.1004151). Throughout the centuries, sundials (a flat plate that marks the time of the day by the shadow of a gnomon which is cast onto it) have been used by civilizations to tell time. Unlike modern clocks and digital watches, in which every single second has its own momentary significance, telling time by sundial is more evolutionary. The seconds, and hours, melt into one another. It is perhaps for this reason that sundials have often been conceived not only as practical time pieces, but as works of art, metaphors, and creations that are inherent expressions of the personality of their creators. Etched in many sundials across the world, in Latin, English, German, and other languages are often found mottoes that reflect the thoughts of the sundial's creator. These mottoes can be fatalistic, humorous, transient, morbid, or serene, and almost always involve the subjects of time, the passing of the hours, life and its brevity, or metaphors involving shadows. Many times these mottoes feature some witticism, such as I only count the sunny hours (since a shadow must be present for a sundial to function). Other times, they can be revealingly existential (We are but shadow), and other times offer advice (Use the hours, don't count them).It is these statements of philosophy, etched in sundials throughout the centuries, that most interests me. I am currently composing a set of movements for piano trio (Piano, Violin, Cello) dedicated to the mottoes found on sundials, and their significance to me. The first movement, subtitled Tempus Edax Rerum (Time devours things) is expansive and attempts a feeling of eternity, into which all seemingly fast moving workings of human beings are inevitably subsumed. For the second movement I am considering the phrase Pereunt et Imputantur (They pass and are counted referring to the hours of the day), and its implication of the way in which time can slip away, whether we observe it or not.

Piano Trio,String Ensemble - Digital Download SKU: A0.1004152 Composed by Matthew Scott Phillips. Contemporary. Score and parts. 98 pages. Matthew Scott Phillips #5800833. Published by Matthew Scott Phillips (A0.1004152). Throughout the centuries, civilizations have used sundials to tell time. This instrument consists of a gnomon (Greek for knower), a long pole or incline, whose shadow is cast onto a flat stone or metal plate, that either lies on the ground or is erected onto a wall. This plate is marked with the hours of the day, and the gnomon's shadow passes over the marks. More than just an ancient timepiece, these instruments are doorways to the eternal past, and prophets of the eternal future. They bare witness to the infinite fleeting-ness of the lives of human beings. Unlike a modern watch or digital clock, in which every second enjoys its own momentary significance, the hours as marked by the sundial flow into one another in a continuous stream, that is ultimately timeless. The final hour of any mortal creature is, in this way, no more significant than the first, and all our hours seem insignificant in the context of the cosmos' grandness. Etched upon a great many sundials, in Greek, Latin, English, German, or French, is a motto designed to inspire human beings to consider these truths. Why so many sundial makers felt the need to inscribe on their creations their own philosophies and musings is unclear. Yet, each of these mottos seems contrived to express the contemplations of time and eternity so integral to the sundials' existence. Mottos such as umbra sumus (we amount to shadow) often hold multiple meanings. The we referred to can be the hours, which seem extant only because of the shadow passing over them. Or it can refer to the ephemeral nature of our lives, which on the grand calendar of eternity are so short as to be nothing. Or perhaps it warns that time itself is no more than an illusion; a shadow. Whether they are existential, humorous (I only count the sunny hours), or offer advice (use the hours, don't count them), these mottos are intended to give us pause: to compel us to look for a moment, not at the fleeting significance of our mundane lives, ticked away as they are in tiny hours, but to consider the eternal time that lies beyond us, and to therefore be briefly in contact with it. This composition, approximately an hour long and written for piano trio (Piano, Violin, and Cello), intends as its goal the same purpose as the mottos that inspired it. To transport those who listen to it (listen not merely hear) away from the earthly, and into the cosmic. Each movement is named after a different motto. The mottos, their English translations and the locations of the sundials that bare (or once bore) them is listed at the front. This is one hour, hopefully, that will not simply fade away, but rather will be one spent in the company of the eternal. .

Matthew Scott Phillips #6358435. Published by Matthew Scott Phillips (A0.1004166). Among the most recognizable of psychological archetypes is the Self; the totality of all the characteristics,perspectives, and personal natures we can introspectively recognize as our own, and the Shadow; the collection ofrepressed traits, tendencies, and instincts with which we do not identify but nevertheless posses. While the Shadow is always present, hidden within the details of our awareness, it is rarely observable to the conscious mind.However in times of stress or personal growth the antithesis of our self image cancome boiling to the surface. And although it may seem sinister to us, exposure often reveals it as a source of creativity,inspiration, and the keeper of all the honestly simple emotions and drives that we had forgotten.This composition is a programmatic telling of the emergence and (inevitable?) return to the unconscious of the Shadow Archetype.It is also an exploration of the archetype concept itself: having both a conscious texture, and asubconscious harmonic direction. Its key structure consists of a tonal center, and two subcenters which are completetonal areas in themselves, but are nevertheless part of the greater whole. As the conflict betweenShadow and Self progresses, the intervallic distance separating these keys is altered to produce greater dissonance or consonanceas necessary to reflect the greater or lesser concord between the divergent aspects of personality.

String Ensemble,String Trio - Digital Download SKU: A0.1004149 Composed by Matthew Scott Phillips. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score and parts. 13 pages. Matthew Scott Phillips #3510885. Published by Matthew Scott Phillips (A0.1004149). Throughout the centuries, sundials (a flat plate that marks the time of the day by the shadow of a gnomon which is cast onto it) have been used by civilizations to tell time. Unlike modern clocks and digital watches, in which every single second has its own momentary significance, telling time by sundial is more evolutionary. The seconds, and hours, melt into one another. It is perhaps for this reason that sundials have often been conceived not only as practical time pieces, but as works of art, metaphors, and creations that are inherent expressions of the personality of their creators. Etched in many sundials across the world, in Latin, English, German, and other languages are often found mottoes that reflect the thoughts of the sundial's creator. These mottoes can be fatalistic, humorous, transient, morbid, or serene, and almost always involve the subjects of time, the passing of the hours, life and its brevity, or metaphors involving shadows. Many times these mottoes feature some witticism, such as I only count the sunny hours (since a shadow must be present for a sundial to function). Other times, they can be revealingly existential (We are but shadow), and other times offer advice (Use the hours, don't count them).It is these statements of philosophy, etched in sundials throughout the centuries, that most interests me. I am currently composing a set of movements for piano trio (Piano, Violin, Cello) dedicated to the mottoes found on sundials, and their significance to me. The first movement, subtitled Tempus Edax Rerum (Time devours things) is expansive and attempts a feeling of eternity, into which all seemingly fast moving workings of human beings are inevitably subsumed. For the second movement I am considering the phrase Pereunt et Imputantur (They pass and are counted referring to the hours of the day), and its implication of the way in which time can slip away, whether we observe it or not.

Published by Matthew Scott Phillips (A0.1004162). While invaluable to the development of Western civilization, the Greek philosopher Socrates is believed by some scholars not to exist. According to this theory, he is not a living person, but a metaphor used to teach philosophical ideas to newcomers. Others point to extant evidence that Socrates was indeed real, and had his own inner circle of students. This piece is a reflection on the verisimilitude of Socrates’s existence. It is a struggle with the question of whether so influential a figure can truly be imaginary and ultimately an arrival at the decision that his realness is not as important as his influence.

Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1004156 Composed by Matthew Scott Phillips. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score. 5 pages. Matthew Scott Phillips #6213017. Published by Matthew Scott Phillips (A0.1004156). Program Notes: In 2010 I composed a work for solo piano entitled, Trio for Piano Alone. The work was texturally, and philosophically complex, attempting to analogize the component parts of a personality, which might seem on the surface to be an indivisible whole. With this work, I have revisited my previous one, and recomposed it. This new work is in a radically different, and distinctly more minimal style. Having explored the great complexity of personality in the first one, I am here exploring that very one-ness that is either the result of all that complexity or (as I suspect) the truth of our being despite it.
