First written for string orchestra and later arranged for concert band, Water Reflections by Yukikko Nishimura has now been beautifully scored for full orchestra. In this setting, the gorgeous melodies are expanded with new harmonic depth and rich textures. Lush interplay between winds and strings is enhanced with stately percussion, timpani, and optional harp. The gentle opening melody leads to a faster, joyful middle section that eventually returns to the original lyrical theme.

Water Reflections is a stunningly beautiful new piece for the more advanced ensemble by composer Yukiko Nishimura. The melodies are gorgeous, the harmonies are thick and lush, and there is nice interplay between all of the sections of the orchestra. The piece is contrasted by a nice, lilting up-tempo section in the middle before returning to the opening material.

This music was originally written for string orchestra. In this band version, the key has been changed to Bb major from A major. In my opinion, the music sounds gentler in Bb major. I like to see images that reflect on the water. In this piece you will find the same situation between the melodies in the different parts. Please look carefully at each part and try to find the reflections. Enjoy the dialogue of the phrases.  .

Jacob Druckman's Reflection on the Nature of Water has become one of the standard 4-mallet marimba solos in the contemporary marimba literature. This master class, written by the person it was composed for, Dan Druckman, the composer's son - Associate Principal Percussionist of the New York Philharmonic - provides a unique insight into the complexities of this monumental work. This analysis of Reflections includes: · Exploration of the sonic, timbral, and expressive possibilities of the marimba in a unique way · A hands-on, specific, nuts and bolts approach to understanding and performing the piece · Applications of mallet choices, strokes, articulation, and phrasing-to have as wide a sonic palette as possible · Correction of mistakes in the score (mostly accidentals or rhythmic errors).

With Wind and Water is a musical portrayal of an adventure on the high seas during the sailing age. It was during the 16th to the mid-19th century where large sailing vessels dominated global exploration, international trade, and naval warfare. The piece's compound meter provides the pulse of movement as it pitches and rolls with the rhythm of the waves. The driving main melodies convey the determination and courage of the explorers and their crew. Dissonant harmonies suggest rough seas, turbulent weather, and other constant dangers that sailors must endure. Finally, the ending sweeping melody and climax reflects the joy and triumph at arriving on a new land at the apex of a long and intense voyage.
With evidence of watercraft dating back to 8000 BC, travel by water has remained an important aspect of life to many civilizations. From paddling down a river or crossing a large lake, to steaming across an entire ocean, generations of humans have traveled on water to explore foreign lands, to seek food and precious materials, to move and trade cargo, and to attack and fend off enemies.With Wind and Water is a musical portrayal of an adventure on the high seas during the age of sail.

Waterscape is a piece inspired by and intended to create images of lazy evenings on beautiful Lake Hartwell, located in the northwest Tri-County area of South Carolina (Oconee, Pickens, and Anderson Counties). The piece gives imagery of sunlight reflecting off the water as lake-goers enjoy fishing, boating, water skiing, tubing, or simply dangling their feet off of a dock into the water. The piece should have a languid, easy feel, never rushed, but driving.
