Scrimshaw is the technique of whalebone and ivory carving that was started by sailors centuries ago. Inspired by the composer's stay in Utqiagvik, Alaska, this composition musically illustrates scenes from these carvings that depict a day of Alaskan fishing. Starting broadly and majestically, the music quickly moves to a lively and energetic section that features syncopation and introduces the concept of canonic entrances. A return to the initial thematic material brings the piece to an exciting conclusion. Although challenging in many ways, this composition fully rewards all performers and listeners with a thrilling musical journey.
Scrimshaw is the technique of ivory carving, an art form I saw firsthand during my stay in Barrow (Utqiagvik), the northernmost town in North America. Scrimshaw Tales depicts some of the scenes that sailors and artists once carved into whale bone and ivory, often related to the day-to-day activities of Alaskan fishing crews.The opening 28 measures (Port at Dawn) should be played broadly and majestically. Measures 29 through 66 (A Gathering of Ships) should be playing in a lively and energetic manner. The various canonic entrances represent the ships as they leave port one-by-one. Measures 67 through 132 (Out to Sea) should be played forcefully and energetically. Each successive entrance should push the pulse of this section to its conclusion at 132.Measures 133 through 150 (Return to Port) recalls the opening section, played with sweeping grandeur.

This work, reminiscent of a film score, describes the history of the Dutch town Horn. A broad lyrical theme, played by the horns, depicts the history of this town on the river Meuse. A cheerful Allegro represents rural life around the town and its castle. Following this the horn theme returns and the music changes dramatically. A drum roll symbolises the times of war that the town and castle have known. The threatening music eventually develops once more into the hopeful horn theme, a sign of reconstruction and the future.

Piet Swerts (*1960) hat sich beim Schreiben dieses Werks musikalisch durch amerikanische Filmmusik, u. a. von John Williams, inspirieren lassen. Durch ein breites, lyrisches Horn-Thema wird die Entstehung des niederländischen Ortes Horn am Fluss Maas dargestellt. Dieses Thema symbolisiert die drei Hörner, die auf dem Wappenschild des Dorfes und des Grafen von Horn vorkommen. Ein munteres Allegro typisiert, wie in der Pastorale von Beethoven, das ländliche Leben rund um das Dorf und sein Schloss. Danach kommt das Thema der Hörner zurück und die Musik nimmt eine dramatische Wendung. Trommelwirbel symbolisieren Krieg! Die drohende Musik löst sich dann wieder imhoffnungsvollen Thema der Hörner auf.

Fantasy Tales décrit l’histoire de la ville de Horn aux Pays-Bas. L’œuvre développe un thème mélodique épique, lyrique, quasi filmique, qui retrace l’évolution de cette ville située sur les rives de la Meuse. L’interprétation de ce thème par les cors a une portée symbolique. En effet, le blason de la ville et les armoiries du comté de Horn sont constitués de trois cors de chasse rouges sur fond jaune. Un allegro joyeux, écrit dans le style d’une pastorale, dépeint la vie rurale autour de la ville et de son ch teau. Le thème initial est réexposé, mais la musique prend une tournure plus dramatique pour évoquer, travers des roulements de tambours, lesdiverses périodes de guerre. L’espoir renaît néanmoins. Le thème premier est repris et se fait le signe de la reconstruction, et de l’expansion. La ville de Horn est désormais tournée vers le futur.

The Vikings or Norsemen were the great explorers, warriors and traders of the European Medieval Age. In their iconic “long ships” they traveled from their Scandinavian home lands as far west as Greenland and New Foundland, south into the Mediterranean and East through Russia to the Black Sea. The Vikings were also the scourge of the era, and the cry “the Long Ships are coming” sent fear through coastal and river communities throughout Great Britain and Europe. The Norse sagas, tales of gods and heroes, have inspired musicians and authors though the centuries.The Long Ships: A Viking Saga portrays the drama and excitement of the adventures of Viking heroes and great tales of Norse mythology.The anvil in Percussion 2 should be struck with a large metal hammer. A low sounding anvil is preferred but a break drum can be substituted.
