Intrepid is full of chaotic energy. It’s a fast-paced, aggressive, and all-around powerful work for young string players that makes them sound mature beyond their abilities. This piece is perfect for teaching accents, staccatos, as well as a marcato style of bowing. The melody passes from section to section as the piece progresses.The chaotic energy begins in m. 1. Don’t be afraid to allow the cellos and basses to come out strong, punching the G on beat 3 for maximum intensity. This opening section should drive hard, leading to the main theme in m. 12, beginning in the cello and bass sections. Pay close attention to the accents. Articulating those correctly is important for building up to the climactic moment that happens at the end.The brief, slow middle section is a great legato section to teach young musicians musicality and musicianship. Starting at m. 68, the main melodic material returns and juxtaposes and floats through various sections of the orchestra until the piece reaches a dramatic conclusion. The ending uses heavy tremolo, but all tremolos are optional throughout. Have fun performing Intrepid!

Intrepideedoodah was commissioned by the wonderful SymbiosisDuo of Gail Robertson and Stacy Baker and was premiered at the 2014 International Tuba Euphonium Conference at Indiana University. It is recorded on the SymbiosisDuo Playground CD. Trumpet and Piano (and optional Drums) are added to the Tuba and Euphonium of the group to give it more color and textures. The Euphonium part can optionally be played on Trombone. Much of the work is written like a jazz ensemble piece with themes over harmonic changes with development and written or improvised solos. 6/4 is the predominant meter. I love to write in this meter because of all the rhythmic permutations. It freely goes back and forth between 6/4/ and 12/8. But any groups of 2, 3, 4 or 6 can be used in hemiola fashion. After a rousing intro the main theme is played in the Trumpet over Piano chords with Euphonium and Tuba counter melodies. Then the Euphonium (Trombone) has an improvised solo over modal changes in the piano. A tutti interlude is followed by written Trumpet and Tuba solos. The theme (head) returns and the piece ends with a fast coda featuring short solos by all and a splashy ending. Intrepideedoodah is a high energy jazzy romp. (one movement-7 minutes). The title is another one of my silly puns.

The title implies all watching, hinting to the mythological Greek Watchman Panoptes and opticon for watching. This original contemporary composition opens with an unassuming docile theme. The transparency is rapidly replaced with driving tutti components that furiously depict a vividly punctuated theme. Reminiscent passive melodies interrupt occasionally, building to an uncompromising conclusion. With a vivid percussion contribution, this energy-packed composition is unparalleled. Bravo! (5:30).

The Crystal Hill is the nickname for New Hampshire's Mount Washington, the highest peak in the north eastern USA. Its weather is notoriously fickle, and the world's highest wind speed of 231 m.p.h. was recorded there in 1934. Composer Brad Ciechomski paints a vivid portrait depecting a climb up the mountain. Soaring melodies and exuberant rhythms depict and intrepid trek. Wind sound effects enhance the performance. Download the free audio files from the Kjos Multimedia Library at www.kjos.com.

E texts of the French author Anne-Marie Albiach have long been the point of departure for my works. Following the viola concerto << monstrueuse vecut dans le cadre >> la memoire, which is based on her << H II>> lineaires, the three texts entitled << une geometrie >> have generated a new cycle. As in the other two works of the cycle, << figurations de memoire >> is predicated on two different readings of the text: on the one hand a (private) reading by Anne-Marie Albiach in which time is measured [demarcated] out; while on the other hand the graphic text is measured millimeter by millimeter. The latter serves as the basis - the genetic code - for the temporal, horizontal structure of the quintet, whereas the reading of the author appears in rhythmic surfaces which interrupt the horizontal plane. In << figurations de memoire >> two clearly recognizable elements are repeated: the tone b (which plays a central roll in most of my works) and a chord of fifths built around the tone b - a piece of memory (memoire) from viola concerto. In contrast, the extended chords of the reading consist of five tones which in their frequencies are equidistant from each other (like an overtone chord). For the generation of tone materials the chords of both levels are compressed and stretched within the ranges (frames) of tones from which the horizontal positions of the text fragments are derived: lower, borderline tones on the left margin, and higher borderline tones on the right margin. Thus the disposition on the page, essential for Anne-Marie Albiach (and first introduced in poetry by Mallarme in Un coup de des jamais n'abolire le hasard), is rendered in sound. Naturally each element of the text serves to mold structure and dynamic, to include typography: fragments within quotation marks, in italics, etc., yield different sonorous images [sonorities] and movements. Each word from the typographical reading is orchestrated [instrumentated] differently, which is important for the whole cycle (however, the chords of the spoken reading are always played by five instruments; here only speech and pauses in speech [[interruptions of speech]are distinguished from each other). Thus a tight network of instrumental combinations is created in which, word for word, the text is made audible. The most important element in the process: the vertical, synchronized playing together of the individual instruments (Synchorniestudie), ranging from solo to quintet.

In this work, the elements of a classical string quartet are fragmented like the polished stone of a mosaic. The piece is in two large movements - or panels - separated by a pause, but fragments of a lively and playful sonata movement, a lyrical slow movement and a fast, energetic rondo constantly interrupt each other, creating a mercurial and unexpected sequence of events.String Quartet Duration: 20' Composed: 1997 Published by: Distributed Composer.

The Nocturne for oboe and piano is based on a gentle, rather wistful theme, with some subtle rhythmic variations that make the piece more suitable for a fairly advanced player. There is a middle section in a slightly faster tempo, but it does not interrupt the general peaceful, indeed nocturnal, mood of the piece, in spite of reaching a fortissimo climax just before the return of the first theme.
