PARTITIONS GRATUITES : LIGNES MéLODIQUES ET ACCORDS (LEAD SHEET)
- Open Sky

By Brian Balmages. FJH Starter Series. Very few compositions offer the opportunity to truly work on musical expression without the technical demands often placed on students. I am often disappointed by the number of directors who avoid lyrical works because their students "can't play that kind of music without sounding bad . . " As a result, I have written a short lyrical piece that uses only six notes in all instruments and is of moderate length for young musicians. It is my sincere hope that this work will open the door that many ensembles have hesitated to pass through. This piece is the second of three included in Midnight Suite. Score for this title: B1321S.

Our sky is never the same – from day to day or even hour to hour. It holds the brightest and darkest things we will ever see, and in addition is capable of displaying every imaginable color and mood. Through this expressive work, Samuel Hazo has translated the many qualities of the sky into musical moods. The opening section features flowing melodies beautifully developed between soloistic and full ensemble playing. The “sinister” fast section features driving rhythms, mixed meters and a crescendo that evolves into a powerful setting of the original melody. Sam's sense of timing and emotional pacing is strongly evident in this effective work. (5:45).

Commemorati ng the 50th anniversary of Eckroth Music (Bismarck, ND), Across the Nothern Sky captures the majesty and beauty of the northern states served by their store locations.

Myths and legends of dragons have stirred our imaginations down through the ages. Between Earth and Sky is a programmatic work opening with mystical strains and haunting melodies. The pace quickens as our beast takes flight and soars over the countryside; musically propelled by a driving 3/4 pulse and powerful thematic statements. All beautifully paced with variations in textures and dynamics, this is an effective and appealing work for young players.

Using a recurring four-note motif and a variety of textural punctuations, here is a stunning and fresh-sounding overture from Richard Saucedo. A slow and lyric middle section featuring woodwind colors and rich emotional contours provides a stark contrast to the rhythmic intensity of the opening and closing sections. Dramatic and powerful! Dur: 4:15.
