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 â€œA Whitman Triptychâ€ 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. â€œWhat is the Grassâ€ was composed for Cappella SF, Ragnar Bohlin, conductor, and is being premiered on tonightâ€™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 â€œWhen Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomedâ€ as the basis for my composition â€œInvocation and Dance.â€ I went on to set â€œGood-Bye, My Fancyâ€ for Male Chorus and Soprano Saxophone in 1992, and â€œSong of the Open Roadâ€ for Mixed Chorus and Piano in 2004. Like so many composers, I have found the visionary quality of Whitmanâ€™s verse inspiring; the vigor and intensity of the poetry seem naturally to draw out music. â€œWhat is the Grass?â€ is also an adaptation of a much longer poem, one of Whitmanâ€™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 â€œAnd now it seems to me the beautiful uncut hair of graves.â€ 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: â€œThey are alive and well somewhere,â€ leading to the mysterious final line: â€œAnd to die is different from what anyone supposed, and luckierâ€¦â€ 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 â€œZen-like riddle that doesnâ€™t offer an answer so much as a pathway of questioning.â€ My musical setting follows Whitmanâ€™s exploration, first taking a childâ€™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 â€œAnd led forward lifeâ€¦â€, set in 9-part harmony. The mood turns reverent, as the tenor soloist intones: â€œAll goes onward and outward; nothing collapses.â€ The piece ends with a tone of gentle, slightly ironic questioning. -David ConteDuration: 5:42

It is the title track from my album 'The Open Road', a collection of 14 of my solo piano compositions. From the moment that this piece first appeared in my consciousness, it felt like an invitation to adventure, to meet unexpected twists and turns, and to stay in even, steady motion while doing so. My friend Tim Shellmerâ€™s photo on the cover of The Open Road beautifully embodies this invitation. Other pieces available in this collection are: Bittersweet, Doc Bradleyâ€™s Waltz, Edith, Flight of Fancy, Jasper County, Late October, Lullaby, Marble In My Pocket, Prairie Sunset, Skipping Rocks at Shoal Creek, The Stormâ€™s Promise, Sunflowers, and Wheat.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1097956 By Heather Pierson. By Heather Pierson. Contemporary,New Age. Score. 9 pages. Sacred Vessel Recordings (ASCAP) #700878. Published by Sacred Vessel Recordings (ASCAP) (A0.1097956). The Storm's Promise is a 9 page advanced intermediate level piece in the key of A minor. It is from my album 'The Open Road', a collection of 14 of my solo piano compositions. This, like â€˜Lullabyâ€™, also originally appeared on Wrestling Angels, and it was inspired by a particularly strong thunderstorm I experienced while visiting friends and family in Kansas when I was a teenager. The original recording was much more robust, and I really enjoyed approaching it anew as a solo piano piece for The Open Road. Other pieces available in this collection are: Bittersweet, Doc Bradleyâ€™s Waltz, Edith, Flight of Fancy, Jasper County, Late October, Lullaby, Marble In My Pocket, The Open Road, Prairie Sunset, Skipping Rocks at Shoal Creek, Sunflowers, and Wheat.
