Instrumentation : 3fl(picc), 2ob, 2cl, 2bn; 4hn, 3tpt, 2tbn(bs), tba; timp, 4 perc, hrp, pno; strings Duratiion: 3' Full Score & Parts: available on rental Composed: 1997 Published by: Subito Music Publishing Composer's Note: A Festive Violet Pulse opens with lively textures in the woodwinds which are used as accompaniment for a melodic statement in the violins. This melody is answered contrapuntally by the celli, and develops into a web of repeated melodic phrases. The middle section is very rhythmic, highlighting the percussion section and making use of many polyrhtyhms. A soft tremolo begins to emerge in the strings and gradually evolves into the foreground material. A repeated note theme enters in the celli and is answered sequentially by each string section. A strong statement of the original theme in the trumpets and violins climaxes the movement. --N.G.

Pulse-echo was commissioned by the Serge Koussevitzky Foundation in the Library of Congress for NOVA Chamber Music Series (Salt Lake City, Utah) and artistic director Jason Hardink. It was premiered in February, 2014. Hardink was interviewed by Edward Reichel for the web newsletter Reichel Recommends: Eckardt is a proponent of New Complexity, a term coined in the 1980s to describe music that verges on the extreme edge of playability. While acknowledging the music's difficulty, Hardink also sees more than just a jumble of notes on a page. 'Jason's music is intense, complex and dissonant,' he said, 'but there is an underlying energy and joy of life in it.' [As] Hardink pointed out, 'it's not a piano-centric work. The strings play around the resonances from the piano. They play off of what the piano plays.' In that regard it's a true chamber work in concept.

A 1984 composition, in memoriam to Hyla's father, who died in that year, Pre-Pulse Suspended is a tight piece structurally, but it covers a lot of ground in its concise single movement. The striking opening, a gritty and incisive duet for violin and bass clarinet, with each instrument restricted to a very narrow compass like a genie struggling to escape from a bottle, is mined continually in the course of the piece. (Eric Moe, counter)induction) Watch a YouTube performance by PendulumNewMusic. For advanced performers. Duration: c.12'.

Program Notes This composition for wind ensemble is partially inspired by my home town of Sebastian, specifically its location on the east coast of the state of Florida. My childhood included many quick trips to both the nearby Indian River and the beaches on the coast, so swimming and the water were integral parts of my experience growing up. This work is my musical expression of diving underwater and getting swept up by a fast current and discovering wonders beneath the surface. Dive! has two central components: a constant, driving eighth-note pulse and a main theme which is fragmented and passed around at first, but then is presented completely by the low reeds around a minute and a half into the piece. The steady eighth-note pulse reflects the swift current that a diver might follow, while the main theme represents all the wonders that might be hidden under the water. Performance Notes Ideally, the Trombone 3 part should be played on a Bass Trombone. However, if one is not available there are cues for notes that are beneath a tenor trombone's range. Make sure the vibraphone is heard clearly throughout the piece, as this particular sound is very important to the overall color of this piece. The Percussion 5 part requires two performers as some of the hits happen too quickly for one player to switch between instruments. The most important component of this work is the steady eighth-note pulse, and this pulse never changes even though the meter changes frequently to odd or uncommon time signatures; if the eighth notes remain constant and driving, the meter changes will not pose much of a problem.              .

Commissione d by a consortium of 20 high school and university bands coordinated by Scott Hanna of the University of Texas at Austin, Downshifting is inspired by Welcher’s joy of bicycle riding. Welcher explains in the program note: When I decided to write a piece for band that was basically entertaining and uplifting, it made perfect sense to call it Downshifting... With three gears on the front sprocket and seven on the rear, it’s possible to keep one’s legs going at a constant speed (for me, q = 126) while the bike itself may be moving very slowly or very quickly. I determined to capitalize on this in writing Downshifting, which keeps the same mathematical inner pulse, ‘shifting’ (with a ratchet) as the terrain changes..
One of the joys of life for me is riding my 21-speed bicycle.  As a basically non-athletic person who nonetheless likes to stay in shape, I have found that riding my bike provides just the exercise I need.  The workout is strenuous, but pleasant—and the infinite variety of scenery I pass keeps me alert and wide awake.  When I decided to write a piece for band that was basically entertaining and uplifting, it made perfect sense to call it Downshifting.With three gears on the front sprocket and seven on the rear, it’s possible to keep ones legs going at a constant speed (for me, that’s 126 to the quarter note) while the bike itself may be moving very slowly or very quickly.  I determined to capitalize on this in writing the music, which manages to keep the same mathematical inner pulse, “shifting” (with a ratchet) as the terrain changes.  So Downshifting begins with that steady pulse, on a grid of eighth notes in 2/4 to propel the little vehicle forward.  There’s a joyous little tune in our heads as we begin our ride.  As the initial thrill of riding on the flat gives way to monotony, we stay in that pulse for the first minute or so of the ride.  Then, as the first hill becomes visible, we shift the bike down: even though the eighths are equal, the pulse feels slower (and we’re now in 6/8 time).  Ultimately the compound meter shifts again as the climb begins, and we’re now plodding doggedly up the hill.  (The music reflects all of these changes, with subtitles such as “Working harder—Seeing the climb, ahead”, “Steady and committed…the climb begins!”, “Straining against the grade”, etc.).There are two hills, and two long climbs (but in different keys, reflecting the change in scenery).  When at last the summit of the second hill is reached (“Flying, Over the Top”), we coast at last down the other side at breakneck speed.  The initial joyous melody returns, but now in a spread-out coasting pulse.  At the end of the ride, we slow to a stop—then take one last sprint (shifting five times in the process) in order to end on a biker’s high.Downshifting was commissioned by a consortium of fourteen high school and college bands, overseen by my longtime colleague at the University of Texas, Scott Hanna.  The piece is dedicated to him (and to all bicycle enthusiasts).

Clash of the Warriors is lightly based upon the Bulgarian folk song Kaval Sviri. The composer's vision was to create a musical depiction of two warriors getting ready and ultimately battling each other. The introduction should be mysterious and ominous. To create the open fifth interval slide effect, the trombone glissandi in measures 2-3 should be emphasized, and the suggested slide positions followed. At Rehearsal 10, the timpani, marimba, and tambourine will control the pulse and diminuendo to Rehearsal 18, where the woodwinds have the melody. Rehearsal 38 should be bold and energetic, whereas Rehearsal 57 should be light with a driving pulse. The Rehearsal 92 9/8 section should be conducted in four (2+2+2+3) and set up the warrior's battle clash. Rehearsal 109 represents the 'clash' of the warriors where they will ultimately battle against one another, represented by the three measure motivic tradeoffs. Finally, rehearsal 129 to the end is the soundtrack for the final conflict for the warriors. I hope you and your ensemble enjoy performing Clash of the Warriors..

The pulse in the opening measures continues through most of Country March. The emphasis (accented tenuto) on beat four sets the tone for the remainder of the piece. At m. 17, the ensemble should play p against the solo (or soli) violin. The emphatic opening figures give way to a broader interpretation at mm. 33 through 56. Attention to dynamics will only enhance the contrast between the two sections.

Chambers incorporates energetic grooves with the bass line and percussion, as well as a new B melody that adds extra technique and a fresh sound. Please enjoy Carol of the Bells on your next holiday concert! Note to the Conductor: Use this piece to introduce or reinforce the following musical concepts: Steady pulse in a driving 3/4 meter, definition of ostinato, accidentals (minimal), and Syncopated feel (minimal).
