Bandwidth, according to Webster's Dictionary, is the maximum data transfer rate of an electronic communications system. In Bandwidth by Vince Gassi, waves of sound and rhythmic energy (1.21 gigawatts to be exact) are transferred to you and your audiences. Right from the first measure this piece will power on and power you up. Syncopated figures contrast with legato lines while the momentum build throughout. Not too complicated, just fun to play and easy to listen to. (2:14) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Bac h composed the cantata Jesus schlaft, was soll ich hoffen [Jesus sleeps, what hope have I] BWV 81 for the fourth Epiphany Sunday, 1724. The cantata is structured as a little drama: In the beginning, fear prevails. The seas rage and Jesus is asleep. The threateningly foaming waves are vividly depicted in the soughing string accompaniment of the tenor aria. Jesus's words Ihr Kleinglaubigen, warum seid ihr so furchtsam? [You of little faith, why are you so fearful?] are set as a bass arioso at the center of the cantata; they provide the turning point. In the subsequent bass aria, the towering seas are silenced. A recitative - Wohl mir [Well for me] - leads into the closing chorale with its certainty Unter deinen Schirmen bin ich vor den Sturmen aller Feinde frei [Under Your protection I am spared the tempests of my enemies]. Score and part available separately - see item CA.3108100.

Like waves of an ocean carrying a boat, the lilting triple-meter of this ageless Scottish folk tune supports warm choral tones. Lush and embracing, it's a lovely ballad for concert or contest. To make it extra special, perform with the optional string orchestra accompaniment.

SANSKARA is a free-flowing, lyrical solo work for horn, inspired by the Sufi religion practiced by Garrop’s first composition teacher. The composer has written: “While he and I never talked about his beliefs, I was intrigued to research Sufism while studying with him. While researching, I came across the word sanskara. The word means impressions imprinted onto a person’s soul as memories from their past lives; these impressions shape the person’s desires and actions in their current life. The ideas of reincarnation, and previous actions coming to bear on someone’s next life, were fascinating to my young mind, and I crafted SANSKARA into a series of melodic waves to represent one’s past impressions.â€.
