English.

Experie nce the legend of phantom cowboys in the American West. Inspired by multiple sightings of these apparitions, this exciting work paints a vivid portrait of a moonlit night just before the ghost riders come out of the shadows. A large battery of percussion adds depth and woodwinds perform some easy aleatoric passages to create tension and suspense. Thrilling!

Diese zweibandige Schule richtet sich an Schuler und Lehrer, die eine aktuelle Rock- und Pop-Gitarrenschule im Anfangerbereich suchen. Der Autor hat eine Schule entwickelt, die nicht nur mit einer E-Gitarre, sondern ebenso mit einer Konzert- oder Westerngitarre spielbar ist. Jedem Band liegt eine CD bei, die neben E-Gitarren auch mit Konzert- und Westerngitarren eingespielt worden ist. Die CD ist fur die Schuler besonders interessant, weil sie die Lieder, Notenwerte, Rhythmen etc. auch zu Hause anhoren konnen - und dadurch den Spielstoff besser nachvollziehen. Die Titel sind vor allem zu Beginn sehr langsam eingespielt worden, um dem Spieler ein Mitspielen zur CD zu gewahrleisten. Die nachfolgenden Lieder steigern sich im Tempo allmahlich. Die Rock & Pop Gitarrenschule lehnt sich im methodischen Aufbau an bewahrte klassische Schulen an. Die Schuler lernen in diesem Band verschiedene Rock- und Popstile und Spieltechniken kennen anhand von legendaren Songs wie: House Of The Rising Sun, Rock Around The Clock, Hope Of Deliverance, Keep The Faith, Another Brick In The Wall, Riders In The Sky, We Will Rock You, Wind Of Change, Nothing Else Matters, Smoke On The Water.

In 1961, a diverse group of student activists organized a movement called Freedom Riders to challenge racial segregation in Southern states. Their strategy was to ride busses into cities with segregation laws and deliberately break them. For instance, white students would use colored only restrooms, while black students would sit at white only food counters. The hope was that, when confronted by police, the federal government would be forced to step in and defend the students' constitutional rights. On many occasions, these demonstrations were met with violent behavior from locals, including beatings and a firebombing. Ultimately, these Freedom Riders helped lead to the abolishment of segregation by bringing national attention to the injustices of segregation. While touring, the Freedom Riders would collectively perform songs with messages about freedom and justice. One participant, African -American preacher Rev. Robert Wesby, reimagined the lyrics of the hymn Woke Up this Mornin' by replacing the name Jesus with freedom in each refrain. This version of the hymn went on to become a powerful symbol of the American civil rights movement.

The first time I saw slipstreaming in action with professional cyclists, I was in awe. The competitors were riding inches away from each other; when the lead rider would swerve left or right, the pursuers would immediately follow suit. The physics behind what appears on the surface to be sheer daredevil antics are quite solid: the cyclists riding directly behind the leader are benefitting from reduced air and wind resistance. On a larger scale, a peloton (the French term for a pack of riders) benefits multiple riders whoare behind the leaders of the pack. While riding so close to other riders carries great risk of colliding, that risk is outweighed by the benefit of preserving one’s energy.Slipstream was inspired by the love of cycling shared by Haley Hoops, horn, and Stephen Ahearn, clarinet, for whom the piece was commissioned. They are drawn to cycling for the adventure of it, to discover new places, and to meet new people. Haley also expressed her enjoyment of taking solo bike rides. Additionally, I found great inspiration in watching the daily highlight videos of the three-week 2020 Tour de France, which happened to be taking place while I composed Slipstream.The piece opens with The Horizon Beckons. A cyclist hears an enticing call emanating from the mountains, then the cyclist starts pedaling towards the mountains in search of adventure. Riding Solo, the second movement, explores the quiet of riding alone, the beauty of the landscape, and the shifting of the light and clouds, all while we hear the bike’s wheels in constant motion. Adrenaline Rush, the third and final movement, depicts the heat of competition. We hear the constant jockeying of cyclists within a peloton as they slipstream with each other and move with the wind. At the very end of the movement, we hear sprinters race for the finish line with everything they have left in their legs.
