major. When
traveling through the
desert southwest of the
United States, you may be
fortunate enough to come
across a strange looking
brown and white streaked
bird called the
Roadrunner. It has a blue
patch of skin circling
the eyes, a tiny dot of
bright red behind the
eyes, a bushy crest on
the top of its head and a
long tail that bobs up
and down. A member of the
cuckoo family, it is New
Mexico's state bird, and
can run in bursts of
speed from between ten to
twenty miles per hour.
Because it is equipped to
run rather than fly, its
feet are different from
other bird species,
having two toes in front
and two toes in the back.
Its tracks looks like the
letter X. Although
roadrunners can become
airborne, they are
basically ground birds
and do not fly. They eat
insects, scorpions, small
rodents, birds, lizards
and snakes. They do make
noise when in danger;
however, the clicks and
clatters do not resemble
the sound of a honking
horn that we think of
from the Hollywood
cartoon version of
roadrunners. The repeated
notes in the opening
melody of Roadrunner
Rally will remind
you of the sight of a
roadrunner traveling
along at breakneck speed.
A crisp spiccato
accompanied by pizzicato
in the cello and bass
paints the picture of the
bird running through the
desert. At m. 17 you will
hear that raucous honk,
honk that is associated
with the roadrunner
saying Out of my way! The
syncopation can easily be
learned by feel as well
as by counting carefully.
At m. 25 and similar
passages, the first
violins will have fun
learning the jazz licks.
The walking bass like at
m.69 with the jerky sound
of the octaves in the
upper strings will remind
you of the awkward
appearance of this
ungainly bird. And of
course, Roadrunner
Rally ends with a
loudly emphasized honking
noise, the beep that we

humorous picture of the

680160909612. Every
one remembers the first
time that they saw a
snake. Though fascinating
to some and terrifying to
others, few animals are
as universally
mesmerizing. Composer
Tyler Arcari has crafted
a very fun piece making
use of auxiliary
percussion instruments to
emulate a snake's hiss or
ominous rattle. With very
strong and interesting
melodic material, and
scored to make a
developing band sound
great, this piece is sure
to be a favorite among
students. Everyone
remembers the first time
that they saw a snake.
The majority of people
have a base fear of them,
while others have a
“heebie-jeebiesâ
experience. We all
know how the great
explorer Dr. Indiana
Jones felt about snakes,
especially when he
famously fell into a
snake pit during Raiders
of the Lost Ark. However
you feel about snakes, a
pit of them certainly
sounds like an
adventure.About the
work:Snake Pit uses a lot
of auxiliary percussion
instruments. Some of
these sounds are intended
to subtly mimic the
sounds that snakes make.
The maraca in m. 4, of
course, is a
rattler’s call!
The Chinese cymbal is
intended to sound like
the “hiss†of
a not-so-friendly
serpent. The eighth-note
pattern at m. 9 is used
throughout as a
“creepyâ€
effect using dynamic
contrast so take care to
emphasize this when
present.I enjoy the gong
as a “colorâ€
instrument in the band. I
try to balance it with
the low brass. Take care
that at m. 42 the gong is
not “front-and
center†but more of
a support for the nice
accented chords in the
low brass. Also, the
trumpets can become
spaced too much here. The
accents are more for
emphasis and less
space. $60.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

inches. Written
during a residence at an
artist community in the
isolation of Wyoming,
Postcards from Wyoming is
an impression of the
wilderness and beauty of
the surrounding landscape
and its inhabitants.
Written for Pierre
ensemble with percussion,
Postcards includes High
Plains Prairie (a harsh
landscape which reveals
glimpses of beauty upon
closer examination), Call
of the Wild (animals from
snakes to horses and cows
populate the
environment), and The
Solitude of Stars
(capturing the infinite
awe of the night
sky). In 2014, I
enjoyed a wonderful
residence at the Ucross
Foundation in Clearmont,
Wyoming. Ucross is an
artist colony that gives
writers, composers, and
visual artists the gift
of time, space, and
support to follow their
artistic pursuits; we are
provided with studio
space, housing, and meals
so that we can work
almost continuously on
our projects. I have been
in residence at numerous
artist colonies; however,
nothing in my previous
experiences prepared me
for living in such
isolated, wild country.
Ucross is situated on a
20,000-acre cattle ranch
at nearly 4,000 feet in
elevation with fewer than
150 people living within
the town. But what
Clearmont lacks in
population, it makes up
for abundantly and
spectacularly in
wilderness and wildlife.
Postcards from Wyoming
presents three glimpses
of what I found to be the
most striking aspects of
my residence. The first
movement, High Plains
Prairie, represents the
conundrum that is a high
elevation landscape: from
afar, the eye sees little
else than an unending and
threadbare horizon. But
as one inspects the land
up close, the prairie
bursts with color
provided by sagebrush,
grasses, insects, and
creeks. The second
movement, Call of the
Wild, is a tribute to the
wide range of animals
that reside in the area.
Deer, turkeys, and
rabbits frequently passed
outside of my studio
window; cows and sheep
lived in fields close by.
Snakes, raccoons, and
field mice also made
guest appearances. While
I'm thankful that I
didn't see any predators
(such as wolves), I
became increasingly aware
of the wildness of the
animal population that
surrounded my studio. The
Solitude of Stars, the
third and final movement,
was inspired by the
stunning nightly display
of the heavens above.
Without city lights
dimming the night sky,
countless stars shone
brightly over the vast
expanse of the prairie.

-S.G. In 2014, I
enjoyed a wonderful
residence at the Ucross
Foundation in Clearmont,
Wyoming. Ucross is an
artist colony that gives
writers, composers, and
visual artists the gift
of time, space, and
support to follow their
artistic pursuits; we are
provided with studio
space, housing, and meals
so that we can work
almost continuously on
our projects. I have been
in residence at numerous
artist colonies; however,
nothing in my previous
experiences prepared me
for living in such
isolated, wild country.
Ucross is situated on a
20,000-acre cattle ranch
at nearly 4,000 feet in
elevation with fewer than
150 people living within
the town. But what
Clearmont lacks in
population, it makes up
for abundantly and
spectacularly in
wilderness and
wildlife.Postcards from
Wyoming presents three
glimpses of what I found
to be the most striking
aspects of my residence.
The first movement, High
Plains Prairie,
represents the conundrum
that is a high elevation
landscape: from afar, the
eye sees little else than
an unending and
threadbare horizon. But
as one inspects the land
up close, the prairie
bursts with color
provided by sagebrush,
grasses, insects, and
creeks. The second
movement, Call of the
Wild, is a tribute to the
wide range of animals
that reside in the area.
Deer, turkeys, and
rabbits frequently passed
outside of my studio
window; cows and sheep
lived in fields close by.
Snakes, raccoons, and
field mice also made
guest appearances. While
I’m thankful that
I didn’t see any
predators (such as
wolves), I became
increasingly aware of the
wildness of the animal
population that
surrounded my studio. The
Solitude of Stars, the
third and final movement,
was inspired by the
stunning nightly display
of the heavens above.
