Lyric al Conducting: A New Dimension in Expressive Musicianship is the latest soon-to-be hit from master musician and music educator Ed Lisk. The concepts and instructional techniques discussed here prompt new and different considerations for what teachers and conductors of instrumental music must strive for. Lyrical Conducting expands one's awareness through the beauty of musical expression and its direction for greater musical meaning. Many attempts have been made to define artistry, expression, and the mysteries of music's finest detail. This publication will lead you to this discovery through: enhancing expressive approaches to conducting, building poise and finesse into one's conducting body language in order to visually express music's lyricism, searching beyond notation to develop a unique and personal rendering of a composition, developing a performance vocabulary or reservoir for artistic considerations that will stimulate your artistic vocabulary, and sensitizing one's emotional response to shape the beauty and expressive qualities of a personal conducting interpretation.

A violinist herself, Lauren Bernofsky has described SONATA FOR SOLO VIOLIN as drawn from autobiographical inspiration, including gestures from Bachâ??s beloved Partita in E Major. Bernofsky opens with a Preludio movement whose references to Bach may be disguised, but they are surely lurking. The second movement is lusciously contrapuntal with the idiomatic finesse of a violinist composing for her own instrument, while musically journaling the emotional pain of living through 2020. The third and final movement is aptly marked â??white-hot,â? and the music certainly is.
My SONATA FOR SOLO VIOLIN was commissioned by violinist Megan Healy as part of The Maud Powell Project, which celebrated the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. The project included the creation of five new works for solo violin inspired by and dedicated to the memory of pioneering American violinist Maud Powell (1867-1920). Healy premiered the sonata on May 8, 2021 at PianoForte Studios in Chicago.Among the works Powell most frequently performed in her recitals was the â??Preludioâ? movement from Bachâ??s E major Partita, and I decided to refer to that music in my own first movement, also titled â??Preludio.â? The beginning subtly reflects Bachâ??s opening three-note motive, wherein the music dips down a semitone and then comes back up. This melodic material returns throughout the movement in various forms. I also refer to Bachâ??s sixteenth-note dominated texture, and the gesture in the third measure, which outlines a perfect fifth and then fills it in with notes that alternate between a scale and a pedal tone. The corresponding passage in my piece occurs in the same place, measure 3. Apart from these references to Bach, my sonata is much more modern sounding, especially in its chromatic character.I was still thinking of Bachâ??s solo violin writing while composing the second movement, particularly the polyphonic nature of the slow movements, where the melodic interest moves around between the voices. Emotionally, I wanted my movement to reflect the acute sadness I had been experiencing over the political and social situation in the United States as I wrote the piece. I realized that this is a historically noteworthy time in U.S. history, marked not only by political unrest, but also by a challenge to the very values that I consider essential to what makes a person fundamentally human. I wanted to create a record of that pain in my music.The final movement is marked â??White-hot.â? It is imbued with a relentless, passionate intensity. Wanting again to reflect aspects of our own time, I included glissandi that refer to rock music, specifically the â??fall-offsâ? I frequently hear played by electric guitarists. I borrowed from another (completely different) musical tradition as well, one that is near-and-dear to my heart: Klezmer. Klezmer (Eastern European Jewish folk music) is characterized in part by scales colored by augmented seconds, and is often performed by solo instrumentalists who improvise embellishments like quick grace notes. The second, more lyrical theme in this movement is my nod to Klezmer style.While this piece is an homage to Maud Powell, I also think of it as my own musical autobiography, as it combines some of my favorite aspects of music, and is played on my own instrument.

This piece was commissioned by Oyama City Symphonic Wind Orchestra to commemorate their 30th Anniversary. The composer was inspired by Oyama City’s slogan, ‘water, green and earth’, to write this festive fanfare. Following a gentle opening a fanfare leads to a magnifi cent chorale. This turns into a quickly moving energetic section with irregular rhythm. This is a short but dramatic piece that will make a brilliant concert opener.

Beim Komponieren dieses Werkes ließ sich Satoshi Yagisawa von den Schlagwörtern Wasser“, grün“ und Erde“ aus dem Motto der auftraggebenden Stadt Oyama inspirieren. Mit einer sanften Einleitung, nach der die Fanfare zu einem prachtvollen Choral anschwillt, um dann ein kraftvolles, schnelles Thema hervorzubringen, bietet Fanfare - The Benefaction from Sky and Mother Earth alles, was es zu einer wirkungsvollen Konzerteröffnung braucht.

l’introduction, expressive et douce, succède une fanfare qui chemine vers l’exposition d’un magnifi que thème choral. La ligne mélodique qui suit est puissante et vive. Une oeuvre effi cace pour ouvrir un concert en finesse et en puissance.

Questo brano è stato commissionato dalla Oyama City Symphonic Wind Orchestra in Giappone, per celebrare il 30° anniversario di fondazione. Nello scrivere il brano, il compositore si è ispirato allo slogan di Oyama: acqua, verde e terra. L’introduzione è discreta ed è seguita da una fanfara che accompagna il brano ad un splendido corale. Il brano diventa poi più energico e veloce. Un brano breve, ma di grande impatto, tipico dello stile di Yagisawa.
