Aurora Dances was commissioned by the Hong Kong-based Winter Band Festival, and consists of three movements, to be played without a break. ‘Aurora Borealis’ opens with florid woodwind figures and highlights different sections of the band in turn. The second movement ‘Aurora Australis’ leads to a sombre chorale, which builds to a full-band climax. The finale ‘Aurora Dances’ is characterised by rhythmic, dance-like themes. A central section features a contrasting legato melody, but this doesn’t dispel the energetic feel of the opening, which returns to close the work.Aurora Dances werd geschreven in opdracht van het Winter Band Festival in Hongkong. Het werk bestaat uit drie delen die in elkaar overlopen. ‘Aurora Borealis’ opent met sierlijke motieven in het hout en bevat korte, herhaalde frasen waarin de verschillende secties afwisselend in de schijnwerpers worden gezet. Het melancholieke koraal van deel twee, ‘Aurora Australis’, ontvouwt zich tot een climax in het hele orkest. Het laatste deel, ‘Aurora Dances’ wordt gekenmerkt door ritmische, dansachtige thema’s. Een middengedeelte bevat een contrasterende legato melodie, maar die gaat niet ten koste van het energieke gevoel van de opening, waarmee het werk wordtafgesloten. Aurora Dances wurde vom Winter Band Festival in Hongkong in Auftrag gegeben und wird ohne Pause gespielt. Aurora Borealis“ beginnt mit überschwänglichen Holzbläserfiguren und hebt abwechselnd verschiedene Sektionen des Blasorchesters hervor. Der zweite Satz, Aurora Australis“, führt zu einem düsteren Choral, der sich zu einem Höhepunkt des kompletten Orchesters aufbaut. Das Finale, Aurora Dances“, zeichnet sich durch rhythmische und tänzerische Themen aus. Ein zentraler Abschnitt ist durch eine kontrastierende Legato-Melodie geprägt, die jedoch die energiegeladene Stimmung des Anfangs nicht aufhebt, welche am Ende des Werkes wiederkehrtCommande du Festival hivernal des harmonies, basé Hong-Kong, Aurora Dances se compose de trois mouvements interprétés sans interruption. « Aurora Borealis » s’ouvre avec des figures élaborées aux bois et met en avant divers pupitres de l’orchestre. Le deuxième mouvement, « Aurora Australis », introduit un choral sombre qui aboutit un climax en tutti. Le final, « Aurora Dances », se caractérise par des thèmes rythmiques et dansants. Le passage central présente un contraste avec une mélodie legato, sans pourtant dissiper la sensation d’énergie du début qui revient pour clore la pièce.

Aurora Eclipsed was inspired by the solar eclipse of 2017.  During a solar eclipse, a beautiful and fascinating aurora sometimes forms around the moon creating an eerie outline. This “ring of fire†is actually the sun’s outer edges being revealed for the human eye. An aggressive composition younger students will enjoy playing over and over again.I wrote Aurora Eclipsed while looking outside at 2017’s solar eclipse. I find space and celestial bodies so fascinating. To think of how small we are compared to the scale of even just the moon is impressive.During a solar eclipse, a beautiful and fascinating aurora sometimes forms around the moon creating an eerie outline. This “ring of fire†is actually the sun’s outer edges being revealed for the human eye. About the work:Unlike most of my young-band pieces, Aurora Eclipsed begins at its peak tempo. The rhythmic pattern in m. 2 is repeated throughout the piece and is used in the melody in order to help facilitate the teaching of eighth-note patterns. The melodic pattern changes slightly at m. 25, while remaining just as repetitious as the previous pattern, giving everyone ample opportunity for exposure. At m. 25 the directions call for euphonium and bassoon only. This is merely a color choice and can easily be used with trombones to fill the need or to help strengthen your students' playing. The use of sfz is not used very much in this level of music, but I thought with the addition of the accents that it would be a great opportunity to teach this colorful effect.

Aurora Borealis for solo cello evokes the mystery and drama of the northern lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis. The Aurora Borealis was out. It hung and moved with majesty in folds like an infinite traveler upstage in an infinite theater. In colors of rose and lavender and purple it moved and pulsed against the night, and the frost-sharpened stars shone through it. What a thing to see!... ― John Steinbeck Level of difficulty - music school student to professional Solo Violoncello Duration: 6' Composed: 2020 Published by: Todd Mason Aurora Borealis for Solo cello (Youtube):.

I suppose as artists we are always searching for metaphors that speak directly to the musics we perform to guide us and inspire. The music on this CD pushes our boundaries of what could be considered normal music making and instead moves us into sound worlds that expand what a choral ensemble can produce. This recording, which documents an almost three-year exploration into improvisation in various forms, contains works for choral ensembles that create new sound worlds in and of themselves. We are happy to present to the world a young composer from our midst, Sam Scheibe. His virtuous setting of O magnum mysterium introduces a gifted and deeply insightful compositional voice. Sanctitude is an expansive improvisation combining choir, soprano saxophone, Gregorian chant, Arabic chant, and melodies into a sound world that I hope will document the frontier of a new world of choral performance. The techniques employed in this improvisation are documented in the new text Discovering Choral Improvisation through Chant (GIA, 2020). The CD opens with a three-movement work, The Dreams That Remain by Thomas LaVoy, yet another composer from the Williamson Voices family who has adapted the sound world of this ensemble into a work of beauty and honesty. All of the works on this CD create Auroras of their own that touch us deeply and cover our senses with streamers of light. I thank my friend, James Whitbourn, for conducting on three of the tracks and for crafting the Sanctitude improvisation. Hopefully the sounds on this CD will, as Makoto Fujimara says, bring you outside of yourself, and pull you to look at the [life's] horizon and to see beyond. — James Jordan  .

Composer's Notes When I met Kelsey Rose in Oxford in St. Stephen’s House chapel over the summer of 2017, we had both just attended a very moving candlelit concert by Westminster Williamson Voices, featuring my setting of “Tenebrae lumini.†I was delighted to be asked to write a piece for compline in Princeton University Chapel, celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Anglican/Episcopal chaplaincy at Princeton University. “Aurora†is the result of that meeting. Composing by commission often throws up some interesting challenges. The piece had to fit both as an accompanying piece to the plainchant of compline, whilst simultaneously being a celebratory anthem. I was instantly drawn back to the poetry and hymns of St. Ambrose of Milan, particularly “Aurora iam spargit polum.†Fragments of chant (both real and imagined) are used to create the powerful imagery of the descending golden light of dawn. The piece reaches its climax with the plea for the despair of night to “vanish,†which it then does, leaving the sopranos alone on a high G.

Aurora was the Greek goddess of dawn. Through the ages dawn has had a significant spiritual meaning - daylight conquering the ominous darkness of the night. This exciting work by Thomas Doss uses musical imagery to reflect the meaning of dawn by cultures throughout the world. The emphasis lies on oriental sounds - symbolizing the daily aurora in the Far East.

The Northern Lights appear when energized particles from the sun crash into Earth's upper atmosphere at enormous speeds.

This entrancing work musically captures the dazzling dancing northern lights which have fascinated mankind for centuries. The opening theme is presented in varying styles, characterizing the many forms in which the lights appear, from patchy clouds to streaming arches. Trills and rolls symbolize the rippling formations, and the chromatic rising musical lines reflect the soaring rays which light the sky with an eerie glow. Bright brass fanfares depict the magnificent shades of green and pink. Exciting music for both audiences and performers, Aurora Borealis is a surefire winner!

Work for 2 Trumpets, 2 Horns and 2 Trombones premiered in the Museum of Scotland in 1998 by members of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. Maxwell Davies has relished incorporating brilliant tuckets and alarms for brass in his larger-scale scores too much to write a perfunctory fanfare; a seminal influence was the statue of St. Michael on the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome, where he studied in the late 1950s, generator of high trumpet fanfares throughout his output which resurface in apocalyptic style towards the end of his orchestral work Roma, Amor.
