A long-established standard for low clarinets, IN A DEEP FUNK has been transcribed for low saxophones by the Australian virtuoso Yo-Yo Su. The work is modeled in concept after Bach’s cello suites, using contemporary dance rhythms.

POSTCARDS FROM UKRAINE is a charming-yet-fiery suite of six character pieces reflecting the culture and music of Didorenko’s homeland. The work was composed in early 2022 following the invasion.

Three snapshots of 1930’s American modernism intermingle with lyrical charm in this set of miniatures. Still finding his path as both a novelist and a composer, Bowles composed SONATINA FRAGMENTARIA at age 23 while vacationing in Europe with his mentor Aaron Copland. Influences of jazz, atonality, formalism, and warm lyricism all play off each other in this brief-yet-satisfying work. A recording of the work may be heard on YouTube

Inspired by an optical phenomenon only visible from high altitude mountains at dawn and dusk, this double concerto for alto saxophone and tuba by Stacy Garrop—whose music is esteemed and loved among wind players—traces the sun’s daily journey over such a peak. The solo parts accumulate virtuosic animation across the work’s three movements, and eventually settle into evening stillness, when, according to composer, the alpenglow is at its most radiant: “The earth’s atmosphere scatters the sun’s light, allowing only particular wavelengths through, and blanketing the mountains in rich hues of peach, pink, red, and purple.” A feast for the eyes becomes a feast for the ears for players and listeners alike in this imaginative and attractive work. (Wind ensemble score and parts available on rental, 115-40431.)

Knowing that he will be interrogated after his children disappear from the plantation, Harriet’s father Ben dons a blindfold as they make their escape plan. Why? Because Ben Ross has never told a lie, and will then be able to say truthfully that he didn’t see anything. This upbeat aria for tenor and piano from Nkeiru Okoye’s celebrated opera Harriet Tubman: When I Crossed that Line to Freedom paints a vivid picture of a man’s determination to keep true to his moral principles in the face of enormous oppression.

“John Tubman, stop your foolishness. You are a free man with a high woman eyeing you. What do you want to marry me for?” BROWN SKINNED GAL is John’s answer to that question from Harriet in Nkeiru Okoye’s celebrated opera Harriet Tubman: When I Crossed that Line to Freedom. Harriet is a slave and John is a free man, but she’s the woman he wants to be with all the same, he says, as he opines about her beauty in this flirtatious, ragtime aria for baritone and piano.

In a musical style strongly influenced by (and occasionally parodying) American popular music, the subtitle “Baroque” may seem a puzzle at first. It is also the key to Pann’s approach in composing for multiple wind soloists and ensemble. With Bach’s Brandenburgs in the rear-view mirror, Pann has created a glorious hybrid of inspirations with intricate counterpoint, cadenzas, beautiful slow textures, and wild rides, creating a 16-minute, fast-slow-fast concerto grosso. The published piano reduction is fully practical for live performance. Also available for clarinet and saxophone with piano (114-41972).

SET OF INSTRUMENTAL SCORE AND PARTS. (For the choral octavo with piano, see 312-41902.) In Part II: The Rise of Humanity from Terra Nostra, Garrop has selected text by John Gillespie Magee, Jr. which describes the nearly spiritual arrival in space ("Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth"). This is but one of the major technical advances of humankind during a period of growth unconcerned with the effects on our planet. Of Terra Nostra, Garrop has said, "My hope in writing this oratorio is to invite audience members to consider how we interact with our planet, and what we can each personally do to keep the planet going for future generations. We are the only stewards Earth has; what can we each do to leave her in better shape than we found her?"

Garrop musically explores one of the dramatic occurrences in human history, the explosion of Krakatoa.

In this poignant and stirring aria from Nkeiru Okoye’s celebrated opera Harriet Tubman: When I Crossed that Line to Freedom, Harriet’s mother Rittia laments her inability to protect her children from the masters’ abuses. “Life is a cruelty to an enslaved mother,” she sings, “Can’t protect my children one way or another.” Powerful as a standalone recital piece for contralto and piano, an optional trio of supporting voices from the original opera scene is also included for performance.

An extraordinary addition to the saxophone repertoire, Pann’s concerto is alternately tender and wild, yet idiomatic even in the most challenging pyrotechnics and altissimo. The four movements show off and romance the soprano saxophone from a remarkable range of angles, while always maintaining beauty. Also available for soprano saxophone with orchestra (116-42029) or piano (114-41999).

THE SOLITUDE OF STARS is a 5-minute work for 4 a cappella voices. It depicts the composer’s awe at experiencing a nighttime view of the starry heavens, shining brightly over the vast expanse of the Wyoming prairie. The slow passage of time is evoked by slowly rocking eighth-notes, creating a gentle texture. THE SOLITUDE OF STARS is a powerful depiction of celestial beauty, technically within the reach of intermediate-level performers.

TWO LATIN DANCES is a beautifully evocative and sizzling work based on Bossa Nova and Tango rhythms. While at first sounding as two distinct movements, the characteristic dances gradually intertwine to create a uniquely integrated whole. By popular demand, Lauren Bernofsky has transcribed the work, already a staple of the trombone repertoire, for violin so that more musicians may join in the excitement!

BF167 - $24.99
English composer William Squire (1871 - 1963) was renowned as a cello virtuoso, as well as a composer. His numerous instrumental works included several solos for cello with piano accompaniment that he performed on his concert tours. This collection, originally published for cello and piano, includes many of these popular works, such as the jaunty At Morn, the picturesque Cradle Song, and the impetuous Tarantella. These pieces, like many other cello standards, translate beautifully to the viola, with its similar tuning, strings, and range. These classic Squire melodies have been carefully transcribed and edited for the violist, with instrument-specific fingering and position suggestions, offering a wonderful new addition to the violist’s library of concert and contest repertoire.

“A Gresford Chaconne” was commissioned by the Leaman Junior High Band, Amy Bennett, director, to celebrate the retirement of her colleague Ronnie Pruitt. According to the Cantebury Dictionary of Hymnology, “Gresford is the name of a British hymn tune without words, to be played (usually by a brass band) while the congregation are silent in memory of a tragic event. It was written in the north-east of England in 1936 to commemorate the name of Gresford colliery at Wrexham North Wales, where there was a mining disaster in September 1934, when 266 miners were killed in an underground explosion.” Setting this British hymn as a chaconne was an easy choice for the composer as the strophic nature of the hymn (to which lyrics were added in 1970 by George Lister) lends itself well to this form. It is also an homage to Gustav Holst, whose 1st Suite for Military Band begins with arguably one of the most famous chaconne settings in wind band literature. The maturity of the formal setting and harmonic language of “A Gresford Chaccone” belie its imminent playability; the work is well within the abilities of a younger band.

Through the utilization of octatonic melodies and harmonies and formally set as a rondo, “Danza Zingara” evokes the passion and energy of a Romany dance. The angularity and energy of the fiery recurring theme gives the work cohesion, while the contrasting sections are expressive, lyrical and elicit the dreamlike qualities of a dance frenzy induced trance.

Robert Frost (1874 - 1963) was one of the most popular, widely read and honored American poets of the 20th century; the two of his poems arguably most popular in the mainstream are “Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening” and “The Road Not Taken.” On the surface, these two poems appear quite different; “Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening” is contemplative, set in the quietude of a winter night’s snow, while “The Road Not Taken” is decisive, kinetic and brightly lit by a morning sun. These similarities and differences resonated deeply with the composer, and the opportunity to set recurring themes and melodies in such contrasting musical environments was the impetus and inspiration for this two movement work. Both movements conjure the remarkably different atmospheres of the respective poems but are interconnected thematically, giving the work cohesion and depth. Both are strikingly colorful and evocative. While the poems are not set literally, there are recurring allusions to the words present in the rhythm, particularly in the phrase “and miles to go before I sleep,” as this line seems to especially reflect the physical and spiritual duality of both poems.

The spiritual “You Can Tell the World” remained fertile ground for Margaret Bonds’ compositional genius throughout her career. This SSA setting of “You Can Tell the World,” is unique, however, because it diverges from her previous settings for solo voice. The melodic elements remain unchanged from the solo version, however she creates excitement and urgency in the text as evidenced by the masterful eighth-note articulation in the lower two voices and a declarative cadence in vocal parts to replace the percussive energy of the piano provided in the original version.

The Painted Desert is a vast expanse of color-saturated, rocky badlands nestled between the iconic Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest National Park in northern Arizona. Through these four bagatelles, this composition captures the essence of the Painted Desert's diverse and captivating beauty, from the stillness of the desert just before sunrise, to the stunning tapestry of blue, purple, gray, and peach banded mesas. All four flutes are given a chance to lead in this piece.

Mechanically Speaking was composed with an image of interlocking pieces of machinery in mind – the composer imagined an industrial workplace with gears cranking and cogs turning. The opening of the work, particularly, sets this mood although there are many twists and turns throughout the piece. There is one particular motive that returns throughout the composition in many different guises. A perfect piece for the advanced student performer wishing to expand their repertoire of Australian classics.

This new adaption and arrangement of Richard II – Incidental music for a radio production of William Shakespeare’s play brings Vaughan Williams’s music alive to a new audience. Although the composer prepared an extensive score – having written approximately 25 minutes of original music scored for an orchestra with a full complement of brass and percussion – the BBC radio production never materialised. Richard II: A Concert Fantasy masterfully stitches together the majority of the original 34 incidental music cues into a 17-minute suite for concert performance.
