Moving Heaven and Earth was commissioned by the Clark County School District Commissioning Project, Las Vegas, NV, USA and is dedicated to Bunny Wasserman and her Make Music Matter, Las Vegas foundation, in appreciation of her tireless work in support of music education. It was premiered in January 2012, conducted by Col. John R. Bourgeois.The piece consists of a theme and 4 variations; although the theme is original it contains a phrase heavily influenced by a 14-bar passage from the Libera Me in Fauré’s Requiem. It is a sequence that the composer finds harmonically compelling and, although it is never quoted directly, it appears in altered form in thetheme and each of the variations. In the original, the passage is set to the words: Quando cæli movendi sunt et terra (When the heavens and the earth shall be moved) which gave inspiration for the title.After the initial statement of the theme, Variation 1 features the upper woodwinds who play a stirring melody and accompany the Fauré reference with florid arpeggios. Variation 2 spotlights the saxophones and lower woodwind in a rhythmic, modal waltz, whilst Variation 3 is a broad chorale for the brass and percussion. Variation 4 starts with a fugue, which introduces each section of the band in turn before the original theme appears on the brass while the woodwind continue the fugal figuration. Moving Heaven and Earth is geschreven in opdracht van het Clark County School District Commissioning Project, Las Vegas, NV, USA. Het is opgedragen aan Bunny Wasserman en haar stichting Make Music Matter… Las Vegas, als blijk van waardering voor haar onvermoeibare inzet voor het muziekonderwijs. De première, uitgevoerd onder leiding van kolonel John R. Bourgeois, vond plaats in januari 2012.Het werk bestaat uit een thema en vier variaties; hoewel het een oorspronkelijk geschreven thema is, bevat het een frase die sterk is be nvloed door een passage van veertien maten uit het Libera Me van Faurés Requiem. Het gaat om een sequens die de componist harmonischzeer boeiend vindt, en die - hoewel nooit direct geciteerd - in aangepaste vorm in zowel het thema als de vier variaties naar voren komt. In het origineel is de muziek uit deze passage geschreven op de tekst Quando cæli movendi sunt et terra (Wanneer hemel en aarde bewogen worden). Daarop is de titel van deze compositie gebaseerd.Na de aanvankelijke invoering van het thema komt in Variatie 1 het hoge hout aan bod met een treffende melodie; en de verwijzing naar Fauré wordt begeleid door sierlijke arpeggio’s. Variatie 2 plaatst de saxofoons en het lage hout in de schijnwerpers met een ritmische, modale wals, terwijl Variatie 3 een weidse koraal voor het koper en slagwerk omvat.Variatie 4 begint met een fuga die elke sectie van het orkest introduceert, waarna het oorspronkelijke thema in het koper verschijnt terwijl het hout verdergaat met de fugatische versieringen. Moving Heaven and Earth wurde vom Schulbezirksverband in Las Vegas, Nevada (USA) in Auftrag gegeben. Das Stück ist Bunny Wasserman und ihrer Stiftung Make Music Matter, Las Vegas gewidmet, in Anerkennung ihrer unermüdlichen Anstrengungen zugunsten der musikalischen Ausbildung. Die Uraufführung fand im Januar 2012 unter Leitung von Colonel John R. Bourgeois statt.Das Stück besteht aus einem Thema und vier Variationen. Obwohl es sich um ein originales Thema handelt, ist doch ein Abschnitt daraus stark von einer 14-taktigen Passage aus dem Libera Me in Faurés Requiem beeinflusst. Es ist eine Sequenz, die dem Komponisten harmonisch besonders reizvoll erschien, wennsie auch nirgends direkt zitiert wird, sondern in veränderter Form im Thema und in jeder Variation erscheint. Im Original ist diese Passage mit folgendem Text unterlegt: Quando cæli movendi sunt et terra (Wenn Himmel und Erde sich bewegen sollen). Diese Worte waren Inspiration für den Titel.Nach der einleitenden Vorstellung des Themas stellt Variation 1 die hohen Holzbläser in den Vordergrund, die eine bewegende Melodie spielen und die Anspielung auf Fauré mit schönen, lebhaften Arpeggien begleiten. Variation 2 richtet das Rampenlicht auf die Saxophone und die tiefen Holzbläser in einem rhythmischen, modalen Walzer, während Variation 3 ein breiter Choral für die Blechbläser und das Schlagzeug ist. Variation 4 beginnt mit einer Fuge, die nacheinander jedes Register des Blasorchesters präsentiert, bevor die Blechbläser das Originalthema spielen und die Holzbläser dazu mit der Umspielung der Fuge fortfahren. Moving Heaven and Earth (Ébranler le ciel et la terre) est une oeuvre de commande du Clark County School District Commissioning Project de Las Vegas, États-Unis. Cette pièce est dédiée Bunny Wasserman et sa fondation Make Music Matter, Las Vegas, en reconnaissance de son travail sans rel che en faveur de l’éducation musicale. Elle a été créée en janvier 2012, sous la direction du colonel John R. Bourgeois.Cette oeuvre se compose d’un thème et de quatre variations ; bien que le thème soit original, il contient néanmoins un motif relativement influencé par un passage de 14 mesures du Libera Me du Requiem de Fauré. Cette séquence, dont l’harmonisation fascinePhilip Sparke, paraît sous une forme altérée dans le thème et chacune des variations. Dans l’oeuvre de Fauré, le thème mélodique colore les paroles : Quando cæli movendi sunt et terra (Quand le ciel et la terre seront ébranlés), qui ont d’ailleurs inspiré le titre de la présente composition.Après une exposition initiale du thème, la 1re variation fait appel au registre aigu des bois, qui énoncent une exaltante mélodie et enluminent l’allusion Fauré par des arpèges fleuris. La 2e variation met en valeur les saxophones et le registre grave des bois dans une valse modale rythmée, tandis que la 3e variation prend la forme d’un ample choral pour les cuivres et la percussion.La 4e variation installe une fugue qui présente, tour tour, chaque pupitre de l’orchestre avant le retour du thème d’origine interprété par les cuivres, tandis que les bois maintiennent brillement le motif de fugue.

Looking Up, Moving On was commissioned by the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra and was part of a tour programme they gave in May 2012, a tour which included many areas that had been devastated by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.The theme of the piece is the powerful ability of mankind to overcome such disasters and look forward to a positive future; it opens in an appropriately optimistic mood, featuring bright orchestral colours and extensive syncopation. A chorale-like fanfare is soon introduced on horns and euphonium, answered by chirpy woodwinds. The mood subsides until an alto saxophone introduces a brief quotation from the composer's The Sun Will RiseAgain, which was written to raise funds for victims of the 2011 disaster. The mood soon changes and the horns introduce a noble theme under woodwind flourishes. This leads to the main Vivo section of the piece which is characterised again by strong syncopations as part of a florid theme in the low woodwinds. This melody undergoes varied development by all sections of the band until the horn fanfare returns triumphally on the brass. This is extended and leads to a faster coda which brings together previous material in counterpoint to close the work in optimistic mood. Looking Up, Moving On is gecomponeerd in opdracht van het Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra. Het werk maakte deel uit van een programma uit mei 2012, dat werd uitgevoerd tijdens een tournee waarbij veel regio's werden bezocht die waren verwoest door de aardbeving en tsunami van 2011.Het thema van het werk is het buitengewone vermogen van de mens om dergelijke rampen te boven te komen en vooruit te kijken naar een positieve toekomst. De opening is dan ook optimistisch van karakter, met heldere orkestrale kleuren en een rijkelijke syncopering. Al snel wordt er een koraalachtige fanfare geintroduceerd door de hoorns en het euphonium, waarop een levendig antwoord volgt in dehoutblazerssectie. De sfeer wordt dan steeds kalmer totdat een altsaxofoon een kort citaat laat horen uit een eerder werk van de componist, The Sun Will Rise Again, dat werd geschreven om geld in te zamelen voor de slachtoffers van de ramp uit 2011. De stemming slaat vlug weer om: de hoorns introduceren een nobel thema, dat weerklinkt onder versieringen in het hout. Dit leidt naar het Vivo, het hoofdgedeelte, dat eveneens wordt gekenmerkt door sterke syncoperingen, als onderdeel van een sierlijk thema in het lage hout. De melodie ondergaat een gevarieerde ontwikkeling binnen alle secties van het orkest, totdat de hoornfanfare op triomfantelijke wijze terugkeert in het koper. De fanfare wordt vervolgens verder uitgewerkt en voert ons mee naar een snellere coda, die voorafgaand materiaal in contrapunt samenbrengt en de compositie in optimistische stemming afsluit. Looking Up, Moving Down wurde vom Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra in Auftrag gegeben und war Teil des Konzertprogramms einer Tour im Mai 2012, welche viele Gebiete einschloss, die vom Erdbeben und Tsunami im Jahr 2011 zerstort worden waren. Thema dieses Stuckes ist die gewaltige Fahigkeit der Menschheit, uber solche Katastrophen hinwegzukommen und voll Optimismus in die Zukunft zu blicken; es beginnt dementsprechend in einer positiven Stimmung mit strahlenden Orchesterfarben und einer ausgepragten Synkopierung. Schon bald wird eine choralartige Fanfare auf den Hornern und im Euphonium vorgestellt, die von munteren Holzblasern beantwortet wird. Die Stimmung flaut ab, bis einAltsaxophon ein kurzes Zitat aus The Sun Will Rise Again anspielt, das der Komponist zur Spendenbeschaffung fur die Opfer des Unglucks 2011 geschrieben hatte. Kurz darauf folgt ein Stimmungswechsel und die Horner prasentieren ein stattliches Thema, begleitet von Fanfaren in den Holzblasern. Dies fuhrt zum mit Vivo uberschriebenen Hauptteil des Stuckes, der wiederum von starken Synkopierungen gepragt ist, die Teil eines bluhenden Themas in den tiefen Holzblasern sind. Diese Melodie durchlauft eine vielgestaltige Entwicklung durch alle Instrumentengruppen des Blasorchesters, bis das Blech mit der Hornfanfare triumphal zuruckkehrt. Dies wird erweitert und fuhrt zu einer schnelleren Coda, in dem verschiedenes zuvor gehortes Material kontrapunktisch zusammenkommt, um das Werk in einer optimistischen Stimmung zu beenden. Looking Up, Moving On est une commande du Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra. Cette piece faisait partie du programme de la tournee effectuee par l'orchestre en mai 2012, qui s'est produit dans de nombreuses regions devastees par le tremblement de terre et le tsunami de 2011.La composition a pour theme l'immense capacite humaine a surmonter de telles catastrophes et envisager l'avenir de facon positive. Elle debute justement dans un climat optimiste comportant de vives couleurs orchestrales et des passages syncopes. Les cors et les euphonium introduisent bientot une fanfare en forme de choral a laquelle repondent des bois petillants. L'ambiance s'apaise jusqu'a ce qu'unsaxophone alto introduise un court extrait de The Sun Will Rise Again, du meme compositeur, une piece ecrite pour collecter des fonds en faveur des victimes du desastre de 2011. Le climat change hativement lorsque les cors introduisent un theme noble par-dessus des fioritures executees par les bois. Vient ensuite la principale section vivo de la piece, qui se caracterise, encore une fois, par des syncopes tres marquees dans le cadre d'un theme fleuri assure dans le registre grave des bois. Cette melodie fait l'objet de divers developpements par tous les pupitres de l'orchestre jusqu'au retour triomphant de la fanfare soutenue par les cuivres. Celle-ci se prolonge pour mener a une coda plus rapide qui rassemble les elements precedents en contrepoint pour clore la piece dans un climat optimiste.

Comp osed between December 2014 and November 2015, Moving On developed from an initial short concert piece, written at the request of the piano duo Lauryna Sableviciute and Nicholas Ashton, into a larger work of several related movements reflecting different types of forward motion. Some wander, with no sense of hurry; others - such as fast forward, a kind of frantic boogie-woogie that might accompany a short, speeded-up film of an old American railroad train - dash or are fleeting. As the composer admits, a future destination of Moving On might well be a piece with filmaEUR|.

Alan Lee Silva's Northwestern Skies?is lyrical and fresh,? with his signature open and expressive style. Young string orchestras will sound rich and full with this sweeping composition.
From the opening fanfare to the final ensemble gesture, Northwestern Skies is an engaging musical journey with expressive ensemble phrases and challenging section features. The A theme at m. 9, a recurring heroic statement, provides an opportunity to develop solid tone production and intonation in sustained forte passages. The B theme at m. 17, enters quietly and features singing, legato lines and delicate accompaniment. The connected countermelodies in both the A and B sections should be balanced under the main melody. More instrtuments are added to the melody in m. 25, building to the return of the A theme in m. 33.
The lower strings carry the C theme in m. 49, supported by tutti figures in the upper strings. All sections come together in m. 56 to a ritardando into the Maestoso section, setting up a grand ensemble statement in m. 57-58. The moving legatolines at m. 59 and the aggressive figures at m. 61 propel the piece to its final build.
The Coda section at m. 65 begins with a variation of the B melody in the violas and then the violins over a dominant pedal point in the lower strings. Commanding tutti statements of the A theme at m. 69 end the piece with power and excitement.
