The third movement of Robert Buckley's grandly cinematic suite describing impressions of the “seas” of the moon, Sea of Clouds, was inspired by a series of paintings done by Claude Monet in the London fog. Monet captured the gradations of light as it was affected by fog with ghostly images sifting through. This movement is mostly subdued and dreamlike–the music ebbing and flowing and eventually building to a vast wall of sound and then dissolving into silence. Dur: 5:05.

This is my first work for piano, except for studies. The 'bell' and 'cloud' in the subtitle are metaphors of motifs used in this piece. The motif representing the sound of the 'bell' in Le gibet, the second of Gaspard de la nuit by Maurice Ravel, is transferred here and tolled insistently from the beginning. The motif gradually loses its figure and transforms into tremolos which represent 'clouds'. I name the process 'Disincarnations.' The work represents the transforming process itself. -Kenji Sakai.

Inspired by an enormous, mirror-like elliptical sculpture by British artist Anish Kapoor, this festival work reflects the spirit of Chicago's busy streets, vibrant people, and magnificent architecture. A bold opening moves into an invigorating theme that occurs under a moving woodwind ostinato figure. A festive mixed-meter section continues to drive the work forward before a seamless transition into a slower bluesy section reminiscent of George Gershwin. Students experience urban energy once more as the final thematic statement leads to a dynamic close!
About FJH Young Band
Appropriate for middle school and smaller high school groups. Second clarinets usually stay below the break. Parts are written with more independence, and instrumentation increases slightly. There is still adequate doubling in the lower voices. Grades 2 - 2.5

This spirited work, in 3/4, maintains a quick tempo throughout. The opening, rhythmic motif builds steadily before the full band states the main theme. A lightly scored middle section leads into a restatement of the beginning material. A wonderful piece to challenge your group, as Lauren makes use of some independent lines while staying well within the grade level. (3:15).

With Clouds Descending is a fantasy on the powerful Advent hymn Helmsley which is long associated with another Advent hymn - Wesley’s Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending. The hymn tune is divided into an introduction and three complete verses of Helmsley, which surround a slower central section, whose melody is derived from the last line of the hymn tune. Philip Sparke’s grade 4 arrangement of this majestic piece for Brass Band is equally suitable as a concert opener or a main concert piece.With Clouds Descending is een fantasie op de krachtige adventshymne Helmsley, die lang is gekoppeld aan een andere adventshymne, te weten Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending. Deze hymne van Sparke is onderverdeeld in een inleiding en drie volledige verzen van Helmsley. De componist schreef dit majestueuze werk voor brassband in graad 4. Mooi als openingswerk maar ook als concertwerk. With Clouds Descending (Mit den Wolken herabsteigen“) ist eine Fantasie, die auf der ausdruckvollen Adventshymne Helmsley basiert; letztere wird wiederum schon lange mit Wesleys Adventshymne Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending in Verbindung gebracht. Philip Sparkes mittelschweres Arrangement dieses majestätischen Stückes für Blasorchester eignet sich gleichermaßen als Konzerteröffnungsstück oder als Hauptwerk eines Konzerts. With Clouds Descending est une fantaisie basée sur le profond cantique de l’Avent Helmsley associé depuis longtemps un autre cantique de l’Avent Lo ! He Comes with Clouds Descending de Wesley. Le cantique est divisé en une introduction et trois couplets complets de Helmsley, entourant une section centrale plus lente dont la mélodie est dérivée de la dernière ligne du cantique. L’arrangement de niveau 4 de Philip Sparke de ce morceau majestueux pour orchestre est aussi convenable pour l’ouverture d’un concert que comme pièce principale.

James Weeks ' Two Perscriptions for Piano. I - Gloomy Clouds (2002/4) II Ring (2002/3) ' Perscription is 'writing-through' (reading done with the pen). Gloomy Clouds dissolves the notes of Liszt's Nuages Gris into contrapuntal nebulae; Ring is a series of four canons on Howard Skempton's chordal Ring in the Valiant. ' - James Weeks.

Practicing scales is essential to building and maintaining strength, technique, tone, and agility on the viola, but it is easy to slip into the habit of playing scales automatically, without paying attention to tonality or sound production. The 29 single-page studies in this book focus the attention of violists on the beauty of sound, with a particular concern for the way different keys resonate on the viola.The first 24 studies address all minor and relative major keys and proceed through the circle of fifths; the last 5 pieces are individually conceived, i.e., apart from the circle of fifths. No metronome indications are given, so the etudes can be played at individually comfortable tempos.The names of the etudes refer to various animals that have scales, including insects, fish, birds, reptiles, and a few species of mammals. The author hopes that in addition to experiencing more enjoyable scale practice, students will be inspired to learn more about these amazing creatures and write scale studies of their own.
