Richard Reed Parry 'S Heart And Breath Sextet For Piano Six-Hands, Violin, Viola And Violoncello. Heart And Breath Sextet Was Commissioned By The 2011 Musicnow Festival For Ymusic. ' This Piece Is Based Around The Idea Of Using The Widely Varying Internal Rhythms Of The Performers' Bodies As Performance Parameters. There Is No Actual Tempo Or Meter Built Into The Piece. The Breathing Rates Of The Players Are Used In Alternation With The Individualperformers' Heart Rates To Determine The Pace At Which All Of The Musical Material Is Played. This Requires That The Performers Generally Play Quietly And Delicately, So As To Be Able To Hear Their Heartbeats Adequately.This, In Combination With The Natural Variance Between The Different Heart Rates, Results In A Kind Of Delicate Musical Pointillism: Starts And Stops Which Are Somewhat Staggered, Parts Which Repeatedly Line Up And Fall Out Of Synch With Each Other, Different Individuals' Pulses Rising And Falling. The Piece Is Never Performed Exactly The Same Way Twice. In This Piece, The Pianists Wear Stethoscopes Positioned Over Their Hearts So That Each Can Follow His Or Her Own Heart Rate. Two Eighth Notes (Quavers) Correspond To The Two Sounds Of A Single Normal Heartbeat, And Performers Should Match As Closely As Possible The Staccato And Irregular Rhythm They Hear. The Strings Are Instructed To 'Play To Breath'; The Natural Cycle Of One Inhalation And One Exhalation, Or Vice Versa, Will Determine The Length Of The Bar (Two Quarter Notes/Crotchets) Without Any Attempt To Make It Metronomic. When One Instrument Is Designated The Leader, Their Breath Will Determine The Starts Of Phrases And The Procession From One Bar To The Next, Cuing Other Parts If Necessary. ' - Richard Reed Parry.

A Musical for Young Voices - The Story of the Tower of Babel Leading to Pentecost In Genesis 11 and Acts 2 we read about two events where languages helped fulfill God's purpose. When the people of Babel built the tower, they were led by the human spirit and ended up in confusion, scattered over the earth, speaking different languages. At Pentecost, people from many nations, speaking different languages, were led by the Holy Spirit; and even in their diversity, they were united. This 35-minute musical for young voices (Unison w/opt. Two-Part) links together these Old Testament and New Testament stories with songs, humor and heart. The message is, if we follow the Great Commandments - ?loving God and loving our neighbors, no matter how different from us they are or what language they speak - we will surely be filled with the Holy Spirit. A score with piano accompaniment and a singers edition without the piano part are both included for the one price. You may make as many copies as you require for use by your choir. Separate audio MP3s and instrumental parts are available, and there is a video of the debut performance on the Hope YouTube channel.
