Searc hing for Destiny's Diamond is a mysterious work that centers around the idea of young people searching out their destiny during dark times. It involves intrigue and tension, as they journey towards their purpose and the diamond that is their bright future. Every instrument in the orchestra begins with the melody and plays it throughout the piece, making this work an excellent teaching piece since all parts can be learned at the same time. The second half of the work is a musical stretto with the melodic figure offset by one measure in Violin II, Viola and Bass. This makes for some intriguing harmonies that will increase the student's hearing ability and bring tension to the piece. While this piece can be performed without piano, it is desired that the piano be played in performance, as it adds intrigue to the sound. The piano part has been written so that it can be performed by developing pianists. To facilitate performances when no player is available, a recorded piano part is available at www.carlfischer.com/FAS12 1.

Choral Cello, Piano, SATB chorus

SKU: CF.CM9714

Composed by Z. Randall Stroope. 16 pages. Duration 4 minutes, 48 seconds. Carl Fischer Music #CM9714. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.CM9714).

ISBN 9781491160329. UPC: 680160918904. Key: F major. English. Robert Frost.

About the work ... Few American poems are as well known as The Road Not Taken. Robert Frost, the author, is an international icon, not unlike Pablo Picasso, Winston Churchill or Mark Twain in their own disciplines.The poem is full of contradictions and quirks of form and structure. Perhaps that illusiveness is part of the poem's intrigue. But beyond all of the literary devices that only a few scholars may fully appreciate, this poem has taken on a sort of fanfare for the common person credo - a challenge to individualism, stepping out on one's own, and breaking the mold out of sheer determination if nothing else. Frost connects to the core of the human spirit in just a few stanzas using the analogy of a fork in a road. The message super cedes geography, culture, race or creed. Rather, it is part of the DNA of most every person on the planet - the inner desire to feel empowered to create one's own destiny, to forge a road not taken, and ultimately in doing so, to make a difference. Rehearsal notes ... Research strongly suggests that there is a direct connection between the first rehearsal and the performance. First impressions last. I find it helpful to immediately lock three concepts into place - mechanics (notes/rhythms), text/phrasing (intent and motivation) and color (timbre). Performers need to think musically from the first reading forward (first impression). The cello is very much a collaborative instrument in this work, and should be located in front of the ensemble (not to side). Lastly, let the text speak. The simplest melodic lines are often the most exposed. Keep the voices clear and transparent, floating over the top in softer passages, and singing with vibrancy and forward focus throughout. Z. Randall Stroope A definitive recording was made by the New American Voices, with Randall conducting. This can be found on Spotify, YouTube, his website (www.zrstroope), and other social media. About the composer ... Z. Randall Stroope is an American composer and conductor. His composition teachers were Normand Lockwood and Cecil Effinger, both students of the Nadia Boulanger, the famous French teacher (and student of Gabriel Faure). He is the artistic director of two international summer music festivals, is an Honorary Member of the National Association of Italian Choral Directors, and has conducted in 25 countries. He has directed over 40 times at Carnegie Hall, and is a frequent conductor at other prestigious concert venues. Randall has 190 published works, and his music can be heard on Spotify, YouTube and other platforms, including his website (www.zrstroope.com).

Concert Band/Harmonie/Fanfare Band - Grade 3

SKU: BT.DHP-0900239-015

Composed by Jacob De Haan. Inspiration Series. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 1990. De Haske Publications #DHP 0900239-015. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-0900239-015).

Gewoonlijk wordt filmmuziek bij de in een draaiboek vastgelegde afhandeling geschreven. Dat het ook andersom kan, bewijst Jacob de Haan met La Storia. Zonder te weten welke geschiedenis erachter schuilgaat, levert de componistrond zeven minuten meeslepende muziek. Voor één keer mag u zonder gebonden te zijn aan het commentaar van een componist een eigen verhaal bij de muziek denken. Jacob de Haan heeft La Storia opgedragen aan een van de beroemdsteschrijvers van filmmuziek, de Italiaan Ennio Morricone.

Normale rweise wird Filmmusik anhand eines Drehbuchs geschrieben. Dass es auch andersherum funktioniert, beweist Jacob de Haan mit seinem Werk La Storia. Ohne eine bestimmt Geschichte zu erzählen, liefert er spannende Musik, zu der sich kreative Musiker und Zuhörer selbst etwas ausdenken können. Jacob de Haan widmete La Storia einem der berühmtesten Filmmusikkomponisten überhaupt - dem Italiener Ennio Morricone...

En général la musique de film est composée partir et en fonction des événements qui se produisent dans l’intrigue du scénario. L’inverse est plutôt rare mais Jacob de Haan parvient nous démontrer le contraire avec La Storia. Sans jamais nous livrer des éléments de l'intrigue, il nous propose environ sept minutes de musique intense. Par conséquent, l’œuvre fait appel l’imagination individuelle ; chacun d’entre nous étant libre de créer son propre scénario partir de ce qu’il entend. Avec La Storia Jacob de Haan rend hommage au maître italien de la musique de film : Ennio Morricone.
