THE DREAMERS for horn, violin and piano is the sixth of a series of seven compositions named after Karen Blixen's collection of short stories Seven Gothic Tales. My musical gothic tales are written for very different ensembles - THE SUPPER AT ELSINORE is a saxophone quartet, THE OLD CHEVALIER is for bass trombone and piano, THE MONKEY is a chamber orchestra work - but they all share musical material in a criss-cross of contextual references reminiscent of Blixen's narrative complexity: Themes and motivs from one piece appear in others in new and surprising shapes and combinations. Karen Blixen's THE DREAMERS has the most complex narrative structure of all her seven gothic tales.The story is made up of three tales with different narrators, but with the same principal caracter in various disguises, all three imbedded within a fourth tale that serves as a framework for the entire short story. The main story line unravels the life of a famous opera diva who looses her voice during a terrible fire. Before this her life was perpetual bliss, and the tragedy drives her into assuming different personality guises in order to escape reality. Toward the end she is confronted with her true identity, and dies. THE DREAMERS isn't 'about' anything. The music is inspired by the artistic content of Blixen's short story - it's emotionalism, dramatic construction, atmosphere, period and settings - but unfolds in time and musical space in ways that are completely independent of the story's narrative progression... except one might say that the three players try their best to either catch or escape each other, and that when they finally meet, it happens abruptly, even tragically - and only barely provides a little consolation. Duration: approximately 15 minutes.

Jâai composé « Thracian Tale » en 2024 pour George Vassilev. Le titre fait référence au peuple de Thrace qui habitait dans les Balkans et plus particulièrement dans le territoire de la Bulgarie actuelle. La pièce est composée en forme A-B-A et le langage utilisé - comme dans la plupart de mes pièces - est basé essentiellement sur des modes et des rythmes issues de la musique des Balkans. Elle est enrichie avec lâutilisation de chromatismes, dâhémioles pour varier la pulsation de base ainsi que de différentes techniques instrumentales.I composed Thracian Tale in 2024 for George Vassilev. The title refers to the people of Thrace who lived in the Balkans and more particularly in the territory of present-day Bulgaria. The piece is composed in A-B-A form and the language used - as in most of my pieces - is based essentially on modes and rhythms from Balkan music. It is enriched with the use of chromatisms, hemiolas to vary the basic pulsation as well as different instrumental techniques.

At the Fish Tales Fishing Tournament kids will join their host Mr. Gill for a great time of Bible songs and stories...about fish! * In Great Fish for Grateful Folks, kids will learn about gratitude, what the fish symbol meant for early believers, and how Jesus fed five thousand people a supernatural supper of real fish and bread. Jesus encourages us to be thankful to God . . . even for fish sandwiches! * In Good Fish for Easter Day, kids find out what was so good about Good Friday and the relationship of the cross to the resurrection. Children will really get their hooks into learning about God's patience with a doubting world through the story of the Resurrection and be challenged to respond to the gospel themselves. * Good Fish for Fishers of Men tells the tale of the disciples' commitment to follow Jesus.

Questo manuale vuole offrire una guida allo studio del liuto rinascimentale attraverso un’esposizione progressiva degli argomenti tecnici ed una serie di esercizi di difficoltà graduata.È stato pensato sia per il principiante sia per chi voglia migliorare le proprie capacità tecniche; per l’utilità di chi proviene dallo studio della chitarra, dove necessario sono state puntualizzate alcune differenze importanti che si riscontrano tra le tecniche dei due strumenti.Il materiale didattico è stato disposto proponendo un ordine razionale dei vari problemi. A tale scopo ho ritenuto utile scrivere personalmente molti esercizi, specialmente riguardo alla fase iniziale dello studio.Il lavoro proposto serve a guidare l’allievo a partire dai fondamenti della tecnica fino a un livello che permetta di affrontare brani di difficoltà media; inoltre il materiale relativo alla tecnica, opportunamente sviluppato, si rivelerà utile per progredire ulteriormente verso un livello più alto. Le finalità principali saranno: l’impostazione delle mani secondo la tecnica rinascimentale; lo studio della sonorità appropriata; lo sviluppo della sensibilità contrappuntistica e della tecnica ‘idiomatica’ dello strumento; l’introduzione alle varie forme musicali rinascimentali e l’individuazione dei possibili moduli interpretativi.

Bij dit winterverhaal staat het thema kerst eens n et centraal. Vandaar dat u A Winter’s Tale net zo goed rondom de kerstdagen als ook bij andere concerten in het winterseizoen kunt uitvoeren. De muziek geeft een beschrijvingvan een winters tafereel op het land: een zonsondergang, sprookjesachtig besneeuwde landerijen en bossen. In de verte klinken de bellen van een slee die langzaam maar zeker naderbij komt. Maar dan keert de rust weer terug, terugin het verstilde landschap…A Winter’s Tale hat keinen direkten Bezug zum Thema Weihnachten, kann also ebenso zu (vor-) weihnachtlichen Anlässen wie auch bei anderen Konzerten im Winterhalbjahr aufgeführt werden. Die Musik beschreibt eine Winterszenerie auf dem Lande: Ein stiller Sonnenuntergang, tief verschneite Felder und Wälder, von ferne klingen die Glöckchen eines Schlittens, der sich als Dreigespann entpuppt, bevor zum Schluss des Werkes wieder Ruhe in die Szenerie einkehrt.Philip Sparke a composé cette pièce pour le Western Plains Wind Consortium, placé sous la direction de son fondateur, Daniel Baldwin. La création fut assurée par l’Orchestre d’Harmonie de l’Université d’État de l’Oklahoma Panhandle (Dr. Matthew C. Saunders, direction), le 1er décembre 2009, au Centennial Theatre Goodwell en Oklahama (États-Unis). Les orchestres membres du Western Plains Wind Consortium qui ont contribué la commande de cette œuvre sont :Garden City High School Symphonic Band - Ryan Elliot & Daniel Baldwin, directionSouthwestern Oklahoma State University Wind Ensemble - James South, directionPanhandle State University Band - Matthew Saunders,direction Holton High School Band - Donald McDaniel, directionHolcomb High School Band - Paul White, directionBethel College Band - Timothy Shade, directionGarden City Community College Band - Daniel Baldwin, directionLa commande stipulait que l’œuvre devait synthétiser une ambiance hivernale sans référence au cycle de la Nativité. Philip Sparke a réalisé une scène d’hiver en pleine campagne. A Winter’s Tale s’ouvre avec une série d’accords soutenus, joués par les bois, et colorés par le timbre cristallin des cloches, tandis qu’un saxophone alto chante une complainte crépusculaire. Un passage orchestral court, mais dense, prélude l’exposition du thème principal. Les couleurs douces et vaporeuses enveloppent les champs et les forêts enneigés. L’orchestre reprend le thème tandis que l’on entend au loin un tintement de grelots annonçant le passage imminent d’une tro ka. Une fois passée, la musique s’apaise et le thème principal revient avant de laisser la place au motif d’ouverture qui vient conclure la trame musicale.
