Clarinet,Piano - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1035260 Composed by Burton Goldstein. Contemporary. Score and part. 27 pages. Burton Goldstein Music #5001043. Published by Burton Goldstein Music (A0.1035260). In this duet, I was concerned with two things. I wanted to make the implied harmony of a single line gradually more explicit as other lines 'sprouted' from it. And I was seeking new ways to express rhythms which would be both more complex than those in my earlier pieces, but simpler for the musicians to perform. The result was that the surface of Aspen Duet consists, for the most part, simply of sixteenth notes, the complexity coming from the changing ratio of phrase lengths heard simultaneously.

String Quartet String Quartet - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1035263 Composed by Burton Goldstein. Contemporary. Score and parts. 39 pages. Burton Goldstein Music #5001045. Published by Burton Goldstein Music (A0.1035263). My second String Quartet was written mainly while I was the composer in residence at the Copland House, in Peekskill, New York. Alone in Copland's studio, far from home, my mind wandered back to an African Music teacher who made a brief but intense impression on me when I had been a composition student at UCLA many decades earlier.The students stood in a circle holding surrounding this intense, squarely-built man. We timidly held our newly-acquired Ghanaian squeeze drums, and he sat with a big drum in between his legs, driving us into ever more complex rhythms. One by one we were made to come into the circle alone with him, and try to hold our oddly syncopated rhythm while staring at his drumsticks as they wove ever more complex solos. It was impossible. He spoke no English except You come! to get us to enter his circle. The only thing worse was the other words of English that he spoke: You ..go!, to indicate we were done.He was a man of great honor in his tribe, where he was the one man who communicated between the king and the gods, using his 'talking drum'. I met Kwasi Badu once on Wilshire Boulevard, while I was waiting for a bus home from UCLA. There weren't many words we could share, so our conversation was brief. But I will always remember the deep sense of confusion as he struggled to maintain his dignity in the face of the immense presence of the canyon of skyscrapers that surrounded us. I fear the school system did not quite reimburse him sufficiently. I went on to become a teacher myself, at the university level for 17 years. I deepened my feeling that teachers are underpaid.So I subtitled my Quartet, Kwasi's Revenge. My interest in having different speeds of music sounding simultaneously is friendly towards the idea of using African rhythms, and some are used in my piece. But many of the rhythms are my made-up extensions of the African rhythms I learned.Only recently did I learn that Kwasi Badu died in 1995, at 63. I wish he could have known that I thought of him while writing this piece.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Digital Download SKU: A0.1035265 Composed by Burton Goldstein. 20th Century,Contemporary,Sacred,Spiritual. Octavo. 24 pages. Burton Goldstein Music #5001051. Published by Burton Goldstein Music (A0.1035265). In setting the Lord's Prayer to music, I looked up what Jesus said to his followers about how the Prayer should be said. In the Cambridge translation of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus says: When thou prayest enter into thy closet...pray to thy Father which is in secret. Do not send a trumpet before thee.... Do not pray ostentatiously with vain repetition. I was surprised at this image of the Lord’s Prayer; perhaps I had Handel's Messiah and sound the trumpets and a huge congregation in the back of my mind. I became intrigued with the image of a man facing his God secretly, in an absolutely solitary and personal way.In this piece, the style of singing should be closely related to this style of praying. The performance should emphasize the quiet, meditative quality of the piece. The harmonic language I made for this piece is meant to convey a mysterious, mystical feeling, a feeling of intense inward concentration, in part conveyed by the close spacing of the chords at the beginning and the single, common tone that runs through these chords. This concentration leads to a sense of transcendence, in part created by the opening up of the close spacing especially beginning at m.26 and culminating in the floating section at m.38.I did not repeat any of the text, except the final Amen.

Burton Goldstein Music #5001047. Published by Burton Goldstein Music (A0.1035262). Time cannot be controlled in the real world, unfortunately; but in the world of music, an attempt can be made.In Two Pieces for Piano Quintet, I played with melodies going at several unrelated speeds at once, held together by a common simple harmony. In the heat of composing this piece, my compositional charts were forgotten, and I did something that ended up with time seeming to go backward.My influences in this are: The Art of Fugue, chorale preludes, Ligeti, Carter, isorhythmic motets, and Ockeghem’s mensuration canons. How far can it go, from Bach’s 2:4:8 into irrational relationships like 5:7:11? How much irrationality can we accommodate?

Large Ensemble Cello,Clarinet,Flute,Harp,Multi-Percussion,Oboe,Piano,Viola,Violin - Digital Download SKU: A0.1035264 Composed by Burton Goldstein. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score and parts. 48 pages. Burton Goldstein Music #5001049. Published by Burton Goldstein Music (A0.1035264). Pale Fire was one of my first pieces to use groupings of a basic common pulse as the main way to have different instruments play in different tempi simultaneously.The old way of notating simultaneous tempi, and not just for me, was to use elaborate tuplets. In a bar of 4/4 you might find one player reading largely quarter note tuplets (7:4) and another playing quintuplet 16ths, perhaps with the added headache of having clumps of them tied together. Picture this – the tempo is fast and you have nothing but quintuplet 16ths. But sometimes you have, within the bracket, a dotted 8th followed by an 8th tied to a 16th quintuplet. And maybe no one is playing on the beat! And so on.The obvious problem is that it is hard for anyone to relax while playing this, assuming they actually can play it. I have heard confessions from L.A Phil players confessing massive faking, even in the presence of a composer like Ligeti and Carter. And a never-to-be-named world-famous quartet confessed to fudging the truly astounding notational complexities of Ferneyhough.So another way to notate complex simultaneous tempi is for everyone to play 8th notes, say, and each player can accent the first note in his of eighth notes. Of course, each player can have different length groups. See m.15 of Pale Fire for a simple start to this process.Eventually the piece has sections which sound extremely free, but are really some complex rhythm like 11:7:3, but written in a way that avoid complicated tuplets.One can go a bit beyond this without relating problems for the players if one simply has some players playing groups of simple tuplets, like triplets. So Player #1 can play a compound line such that every fourth triplet is emphasized. Player #2 can has a part constructed of constant 16ths, written so that every fourth 16th note creates a pulse, and every third pulse is accented somehow.

Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quintet - Digital Download SKU: A0.1035270 Composed by Burton Goldstein. Contemporary. 21 pages. Burton Goldstein Music #5001061. Published by Burton Goldstein Music (A0.1035270). Tempo Changes in This PieceIf you are familiar with metric modulation, you probably can skip this note.Elliot Carter started using metric modulations in the 1940s, so what I have done is nothing new.Once you get the hang of it, it should be easier to get to the new tempo than having to just know what a metronome marking is supposed to sound like. Also you can get the true feel of the tempo changes.The tempi in this piece are related to each other so that in a sense, the tempo never changes.For ex., in m.22, count 8th notes and switch to 6/8. The tempo does not change in the sense that a quarter still equals 120, even if you are counting 8ths (at 240 bpm)If you were going to stay in 6/8 for a while, you could start to count 1 (2 3) 4 (5 6) thus counting dotted 8ths. If the 'beat' you are counting is dotted 8ths, you are therefore counting dotted quarter notes at 80 bpm.In that case you could also say the tempo is 'the same' as quarter note = 120 because 8th notes are the same speed.I confess m 64 is not so easy. After counting two bars in 3/8, count the next bar in 16th notes. While this is uncomfortably fast, it will make it possible to go into the 7/16 section at the perfect tempo. After counting to 7 a few bars, you may find it possible and convenient to count 4 + 3, emphasizing 1 (2 3 4 ) 5 (6 7).When you get to the next metric modulation, you can just emphasize the 1 and divide the bar into 7 equal parts.m 79 is different from the previous meter changes because the previous bar of 7/16 equals the duration of the new bar. So if you can count the 7/16 bars, after a while, in 1, you can count the new bars in 1 for a while. Then count it as indicated. So if the piece is too fast to play as is, just pick a different starting tempo. All the tempi in the piece should therefore automatically scale down. If there's any changes in notation I can make which will help you perform the piece, please let me know!
