This beautiful and nostalgic piece looks to musically illustrate a child moving from a beautiful baby to a maturing young adult. Written from the perspective of a parent witnessing and experiencing their child's growth, the music offers the listener, as well as the performer, an innocent melody that develops into a fully orchestrated piece. All voices within the ensemble actively help to create this feeling throughout the grade 3+ composition, including an optional percussion part that is designed to enhance the colors of the piece (wind chimes, glockenspiel, tam-tam, and suspended cymbal. The composition ultimately concludes by quoting the original melody and leading the listener to a peaceful place, dreaming of yesterday's memories. Each set includes three copies of the optional 3rd Violin/Viola T.C., and percussion parts. Duration ca. 4:25. Available in SmartMusic.

Kalei doscope Sky is inspired by the breathtaking pastime of hot-air ballooning and the glorious festivals around the world that honor the practice. A sky full of colorful spheres elegantly floating at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, International Balloon Festival of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, Mondial Air Ballons and more draw thousands of people to witness awe-inspiring scenes full of passionate balloonists. Traditional hot-air balloons mix with creatively designed balloons to thrill the tens of thousands of spectators below. While I personally am not a person who dreams of taking my own flight--heights are not my thing--I have to marvel at how gently and easily these vessels float among the clouds. It truly is an image of exquisite freedom. This piece reflects the view and experience of the onlooker taking in an elegantly shifting scene reminiscent of kaleidoscope patterns. Spectators like me can appreciate the beauty and vibrancy associated with a horizon full of adventurous balloonists and their wondrous aircrafts. Kaleidoscope Sky starts in a triumphant and celebratory fashion and continues to conjure images reminiscent of the wide variety of soaring colors on display at a hot-air balloon event. Ultimately, the piece appropriately concludes with a suspenseful, yet graceful, run to the finish line. Melodic lines should soar with attention being paid to phrase markings and assigned articulations. Encourage musicians to allow room for the melodic material to be heard in thicker textures where supporting harmonies are often rhythmic in nature. These harmonies should support, and not cloud the melodies. The meter changes should sound effortless, and the continuous figures in the percussion will help to achieve this effect. The snare drum, in particular, should bring accented notes to the foreground while maintaining a steady textural effect with non-accented notes as a rhythmic background. This will go a long way in finding a cohesive subdivision and ensemble pulse.
