Written for beginning string students, Larry Clark's Contemplation?contains basic compositional techniques that students will be able to identify and learn from. It begins with a rich, melodic opening which highlights students' musicianship. This is then contrasted by the frolicking, uptempo section, which is a variation on the original musical material.
Contemplation: the action to look thoughtfully at something for a long time.
When composing music that will be used with younger students, I want to stimulate in them thoughtfulness. In this particular piece I want the students to be be able to stretch their musicianship beyond their experience on their instruments to play in a contemplative manner. To me this is the essence of music: playing in an emotional and thoughtful way. It is something that cannot be stressed enough, even in students that have just begun to play. As soon as possible they should be asked to put themselves into the music and make it more than the notes and rhythms on the page.
This piece is my attempt to provide very young students who are just beginning their musical journey with something they can reach technically, but have to stretch for musically. The notes and rhythms are limited, but students should strive for beauty of tone, good phrasing and emotional involvement.
After a short introduction, the heartfelt main theme begins at a lyrical and slow tempo. This is developed with the addition of a secondary theme featuring the lower voices, before the piece leads to an Allegro section that is based on the same musical material with a difference in tempo and a variation in rhythm patterns. The piece can serve to show students that the same basic music can have an entirely different emotional connection with difference in tempo, rhythm and style, with the first section of the piece being sentimental and the faster section being more joyous in nature. As with all of my pieces for younger students, it is completely acceptable to adjust the tempo to fit the educational needs of your students.
It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to write this piece. I hope you and your students enjoy it and find it useful for your program.

Contemplation is the first movement from the Clarinet Concerto by Jan Van der Roost, which was commissioned by Musica Reservata VOF, Belgium, and is dedicated to the famous clarinet soloist Eddy Vanoosthuyse. A slightly mysterious intro leads to an orchestral climax with ascending melodies and the entrance of the soloist. This occurs at first with fragmentary musical ideas, and then with longer melodic lines. The orchestra delivers the dialogue withthe soloist, and creates a fitting musical frame with a delicate and colourful instrumentation. Towards the end of the music, the atmosphere from the beginning is restored, and the soloist finishes on the same note that he started the piece on. The concerto is also available as a piano reduction. Contemplation is het eerste deel uit het Clarinet Concerto van Jan Van der Roost. Het werd geschreven in opdracht van Musica Reservata VOF (B) en is opgedragen aan Eddy Vanoosthuyse. Een ietwat mysterieuze intro leidt via stijgende melodieën tot een eerste orkestrale climax, waarna de solist zijn intrede doet, eerst met vooral fragmentarische muzikale gegevens, dan met langere melodische lijnen. Het orkest voert een muzikaledialoog met de solist en creëert een gepaste omkadering door middel van een ragfijne en kleurrijke instrumentatie. Naar het slot toe wordt de beginsfeer weer opgezocht, en de solist eindigt helemaal alleen met dezelfde noot als die waarmeehij begon. Het concert is tevens als pianoreductie beschikbaar. Contemplation ist der 1. Satz aus Jan van der Roosts Clarinet Concerto, das von Musica Reservata VOF aus Belgien in Auftrag gegeben wurde und dem berühmten Klarinettisten Eddy Vanoosthuyse gewidmet ist. Eine etwas geheimnisvolle Einleitung führt über aufsteigende Passagen zu einem musikalischen Höhepunkt des Orchesters; darauf folgt der Einsatz des Solisten, anfangs überwiegend mit fragmentarischen musikalischen Ideen, dann mit längerenMelodielinien. Das Orchester führt einen Dialog mit dem Solisten und schafft mit einer zarten und lebendigen Instrumentation einen passenden musikalischen Rahmen. Gegen Ende wird die Anfangsstimmung wieder aufgegriffen und das Solo endet mitderselben Note, mit der das Stück begonnen hat. Es ist auch ein Klavierauszug des Konzertes erhältlich. Contemplation est le premier mouvement du Clarinet Concerto de Jan Van der Roost. Commandé par Musica Reservata VOF de Belgique, il est dédié au célèbre soliste clarinettiste Eddy Vanoosthuyse. Une introduction orchestrale mystérieuse conduit avec les mélodies ascendantes l’entrée du soliste. Les idées musicales fragmentaires du début cèdent petit petit la place des lignes mélodiques plus longues et l’orchestre entre en dialogueavec le soliste avec une instrumentation délicate et colorée. L’atmosphère mystérieuse du début revient et le soliste conclut l’œuvre par la même note avec laquelle il l’avait commencé. Le concerto est également disponible en réduction pour piano.

Elegant, expressive, and lyrical are just a few words to describe this original work by Jason Krug. Flowing melodic lines and extensive use of chimes create a captivating, introspective composition. Equally at home in the libraries of community and church ensembles, Contemplation is an excellent selection for worship, concert, or festival.

In his poem Mending Wall, the inspiration for this piece, Robert Frost famously says “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall.†Mending Time, composed for Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Baritone Saxophones, explores the many meanings of walls in life, from barriers of safety, to murals upon which the art and history of people are transcribed. This 'musical wall of sound' is intended to invoke reflection and encourage mending to bring unity in times of joy, contemplation, and consolation.Robert Frost thought that poetry was, as he wrote, “a momentary stay against confusion.†In his poem Mending Wall, the inspiration for my piece, Frost famously says “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall.â€Confusion indeed!As the always tricky Frost well knew:A wall may be the strong barrier that protects our young or old from harm.A wall may be the mural upon which we inscribe the art and the history of our people.A wall may the sacred, embroidered fabric that keeps us from the cold.A wall may be the skin of our lovers and the dearest ones we treasure.And so, the barriers and walls between us may be, at last, paradoxically, the special place where we as neighbors meet together, if only to repair those walls and build them up again.But walls and barriers must also have a passage through them or what lies within and without them will surely starve and die.“Mending Time†is musical wall of sound, written to help our mending, to help bring us together in joy, contemplation, and consolation.Martin Bresnick.

These seven settings for piano solo, like the original chamber music cycle, are evocative of the unscrupulous period of the slave trade: 'For me, the meaning of this work lies in the lasting remembrance, the reverent ceremony, not solely the emotionalism and contemplation of the prayer, but contemplation of the mind. Beyond the confines of memory, I would like to express the inconceivable, but in the greatest possible concentration without effects and dramatisation, like 'a mute tocsin bell'. (Thierry Pecou).
