Set to his own inspirational text, Prayer by Ricky Ian Gordon is a heartfelt appeal to the best qualities in human nature. This selection, by the noted composer of the new opera, The Grapes of Wrath, will be very attractive to young performers. The setting is basically homophonic, with the lovely, singable lines characteristic of Gordon's music, and a rich and colorful piano accompaniment that enhances the reflective mood of this sensitive piece. High School and above. 7:29.

This is a patriotic piece especially suited for Memorial Day, Veteran's Day or the 4th of July. It is series of short (~1 min. each) vignettes portraying an American characteristic which impressed me as an immigrant to this country. The piece is dedicated to the great American writer John Steinbeck, whose novel The Grapes of Wrath had its 75th anniversary in 2014. Instrumentation: Organ. Composed: 1977/2012 Published by: Zimbel Press.

With a tune based on the beautiful English ballad Pretty Polly, Woody Guthrie's lyrics describes the challenges as well as the dignity of migrant workers in North America. With choral writing that is perfect for maturing high school voices but where there are no tenors, this is a song that encourages discussions around American farm workers, literature as the music relates to Steinbeck and his Grapes of Wrath, and the critical state of agriculture. This is a winner in every sense.

It takes a historico-critical approach and seeks to document the history of the works and writings by shedding light on their transformations, thus identifying the various versions as witnesses of evolving aesthetic and historical positions. Eislers complete oeuvre (only a limited number of his works had penetrated the publics awareness up until the 1990s) first became the object of an editorial undertaking when the Eisler - Gesammelte Werke (EGW) was founded by Nathan Notowicz. It was later placed under the direction of Manfred Grabs and Eberhardt Klemm, and began issuing its publications in 1968 through the intermediary of the Deutscher Verlag fur Musik in Leipzig. However, only four volumes of music and five volumes of writings were published. The Hanns Eisler Complete Edition pursues the work begun at that time, although it has had to fundamentally revise its editorial principles. In this respect, the Hanns Eisler Complete Edition can be considered as a completely new editorial undertaking. It became necessary to reconceive the organization of the volumes and series as well as the editorial guidelines in order to adapt the standards of historico-critical editing generally applicable today to the specific and sometimes singular circumstances of Eislers works.The Critical Commentaries pertaining to the main volumes follow the music section or, whenever they are too extensive, appear in a special volume.Series I: Choral MusicSeries II: Music for Voice and Instrumental Ensemble or OrchestraSeries III: Music for Voice and PianoSeries IV: Instrumental MusicSeries V: Incidental MusicSeries VI: Film MusicSeries VII: Sketches and FragmentsSeries VIII: Arrangements of works by other composersSeries IX: Writings, Letters and InterviewsSON 501 has been awarded the German Music Edition Prize 2003.SON 502 has been awarded the German Music Edition Prize 2007.The major upheavals that transformed society and musical aesthetics during the first half of the 20th century also profoundly affected the life of Hanns Eisler, as well as his compositions and writings. The importance and scope of Eislers oeuvre are reason enough to make his works accessible to musical scholarship and practice in a comprehensive fashion. Price reduction for a subscription.
