Fantasy for Marimba was commissioned by the outstanding Japanese marimba player, Fumito Nunoya. Although it is written in concerto style, the piano not only accompanies the solo marimba but also plays an important part in the development of the work. The piece is written in four movements, played without a break: Allegro, Andante misterioso, Tempo rubato and Allegro energico. Also available for Marimbaphone and Piano. In Fantasy for Marimba neemt de marimbafoon als solo-instrument een centrale plaats in, maar ook de piano speelt een belangrijke rol. Het werk bestaat uit vier samenhangende delen: een Allegro, een Andante misterioso, een Tempo rubato en tot slot als hartstochtelijke finale een Allegro energico. Ook verkrijgbaar voor marimba en piano. In Fantasy for Marimba wird das Marimbaphon als Soloinstrument gewürdigt, aber auch das Blasorchester spielt eine wichtige Rolle. Das Werk besteht aus vier zusammenhängenden Sätzen: Es beginnt mit einem Allegro, in dem Marimbaphon und Orchester zwei Themen präsentieren, die im darauff olgenden Andante misterioso weiterentwickelt werden. Im dritten Satz, der mit Tempo rubato überschrieben ist, hat das Blasorchester eine Atempause“, während das Marimbaphon ein kadenzartiges Solo vorträgt. Der letzte Satz, ein Allegro energico, führt das Werk mit leidenschaftlicher Intensität zu einem großen Finale.Bien que la structure de cette fantaisie s’apparente celle d’un concerto, le pianiste n’est absolument pas réduit un rôle d’accompagnateur, mais participe pleinement au développement de l’œuvre. Fantasy for Marimba est divisé en quatre mouvements qui s’enchaînent sans interruption : Allegro - Andante misterioso - Tempo rubato - Allegro energico.

An exceptional new composition based upon the hymn Converse (commonly known as What a Friend We Have in Jesus), William Harbinson has crafted a concert overture using the hymn's theme as a starting point. Beginning with brilliant brass fanfares and woodwind flourishes, the middle section is made up of an inversion of the hymn tune, and ends with a dramatic climax. This work is simply beautiful and heartfelt; showcasing your group's musical expression like no other.

This new interpretation of the Christmas standard begins with a chorale statement of the original hymn and then heads into new territory as various percussion instruments are added to the mix. Changing time signatures, unique rhythmic patterns and various musical styles are explored as the piece builds to a climactic ending that will provide an exciting, memorable finale to your holiday concert. Note: The chorale section after the intro (mm. 13 through 35) should be played very expressively in a rubato style.This new interpretation of the Christmas standard begins with a chorale statement of the original hymn and then heads into new territory as various percussion instruments are added to the mix.

Ford • McCarthy • Abe • Higdon • Goto Since the inception of the projects, composers, conductors, music critics, and connoisseurs worldwide have praised the recordings conducted by Eugene Migliaro Corporon for their innovation, excellence, and professional standards. These exceptional videos and compact discs identify and preserve the standard repertoire and globally encourage composers to contribute to the ever-growing legacy of great music that has the power of universality. The breadth and variety of the discs highlight the fact that the wind symphony, in its many forms throughout hundreds of years of music history, has been and continues to be a significant original medium for serious aesthetic expression. The projects have yielded more than 100 discs that showcase the creative energy of thousands of world-renowned composers and gifted musicians. Winds magazine offers the following regarding the body of work: “This series has immense historic value in documenting the best of the repertoire...as well as providing much sheer listening (and viewing) pleasure for the level of artistry in the performances. The acoustic quality of the recording is state-of-the- art...All of the works are superbly realized and worthy of exploration...these discs represent the standards to which all must aspire.† This is a monumental recording that should be listened to and studied by every serious concert percussionist. The writing for percussion and winds is innovative and cutting edge, and there is much here for composers to learn about scoring for percussion and winds. The [University of North Texas] Wind Symphony performs these works fabulously and flawlessly, and the baton of Maestro Corporon is evident throughout. —Tom Morgan, Percussive Notes • Vol. 56, No. 3 • July 2018 Watch this video: Eugene Corporon and Mark Ford Discuss Contact Read Mark Ford's commentary on his project with Eugene Corporon: Contact Contents 1.

From the beginning of Unicorn Ranch, and revisited at times, there is a metric subdivision of the sixteen quarter notes in a four-measure phrase into seven, seven, and two. This pattern will soon feel quite natural after a few repetitions. There are several possible ways to conduct this, but a straight two-beat pattern is probably best at first. The accent patterns will drive the phrase. Major-seventh chord harmonies are used in several passages, so some half-step dissonances do occur. Balancing these harmonies will let these blend prettily. In keeping with the Fantasy Western style marking, many of the rhythmic patterns are meant to evoke a horse-like galloping feel.
