The aim of this work is not to illustrate a sequence of historical events, but to convey the impressions of one visiting Valley Forge to-day. As the great panorama unfolds, majestic and serene, one's thoughts turn to the human drama of the past; to the unwavering fortitude shown in the face of every deprivation; to the slow return of spiritual strength which turned the tide of victory and culminated in renewed courage and great rejoicing.

ISBN 9781491160329. UPC: 680160918904. Key: F major. English. Robert Frost.
About the work ... Few American poems are as well known as The Road Not Taken. Robert Frost, the author, is an international icon, not unlike Pablo Picasso, Winston Churchill or Mark Twain in their own disciplines.The poem is full of contradictions and quirks of form and structure. Perhaps that illusiveness is part of the poem's intrigue. But beyond all of the literary devices that only a few scholars may fully appreciate, this poem has taken on a sort of fanfare for the common person credo - a challenge to individualism, stepping out on one's own, and breaking the mold out of sheer determination if nothing else. Frost connects to the core of the human spirit in just a few stanzas using the analogy of a fork in a road. The message super cedes geography, culture, race or creed. Rather, it is part of the DNA of most every person on the planet - the inner desire to feel empowered to create one's own destiny, to forge a road not taken, and ultimately in doing so, to make a difference. Rehearsal notes ... Research strongly suggests that there is a direct connection between the first rehearsal and the performance. First impressions last. I find it helpful to immediately lock three concepts into place - mechanics (notes/rhythms), text/phrasing (intent and motivation) and color (timbre). Performers need to think musically from the first reading forward (first impression). The cello is very much a collaborative instrument in this work, and should be located in front of the ensemble (not to side). Lastly, let the text speak. The simplest melodic lines are often the most exposed. Keep the voices clear and transparent, floating over the top in softer passages, and singing with vibrancy and forward focus throughout. Z. Randall Stroope A definitive recording was made by the New American Voices, with Randall conducting. This can be found on Spotify, YouTube, his website (www.zrstroope), and other social media. About the composer ... Z. Randall Stroope is an American composer and conductor. His composition teachers were Normand Lockwood and Cecil Effinger, both students of the Nadia Boulanger, the famous French teacher (and student of Gabriel Faure). He is the artistic director of two international summer music festivals, is an Honorary Member of the National Association of Italian Choral Directors, and has conducted in 25 countries. He has directed over 40 times at Carnegie Hall, and is a frequent conductor at other prestigious concert venues. Randall has 190 published works, and his music can be heard on Spotify, YouTube and other platforms, including his website (www.zrstroope.com).A bout the work ...Few American poems are as well known as The Road Not Taken.

This piece was commissioned by Japan Ground Self Defense Force Western Army Band. In the programme note for the premiere the composer wrote: I am always impressed by the expansive earth and sparkling ocean scenery when I come to Kyushu. I have met many local people here and they are all expressive and energetic. I wrote this dramatic piece to convey to the whole of Japan the memory of my experience here, swaying in the west wind. I wrote this, hoping that the Self Defense Force will forge closer ties with the community through this piece. Eastern drama felt in the west wind!This piece was commissioned by Japan Ground Self Defense Force Western Army Band.

Eastern drama felt in the west wind!Dieses Stück basiert auf dem Motto eines japanischen Musikfestivals der japanischen Streitkrafte: Unsere Leidenschaft soll in unserem Herzen widerhallen. Der Komponist liess sich ausserdem von der eindrucksvollen Küstenlandschaft in Kyushu, wo das Festival stattfand, inspirieren und vom Wunsch, dass die verschiedenen Militarblasorchester der Region engere Bande knüpfen mogen, leiten. Aus diesen Themen entstand dieses ausdruckvolle, dramatische Werk.L'oeuvre fut donnee en creation dans le cadre du Festival des Musiques Militaires des Forces armees japonaises 2010, qui s'est tenu sur l'ile de Kyushu. Le theme fut << La passion est en nous >>. Swaying in the West Wind revele une profondeur d'expression poignante. Depuis des siecles, Kyushu s'est ouverte aux cultures occidentales. Et c'est la force de ce souffle occidental, de l'energie des habitants de l'ile que Satoshi Yagisawa depeint dans son oeuvre. Questo brano e stato commissionato dal Japan Ground Self Defense Force Western Army Band di stanza a Kyushu. Il compositore si e ispirato alla questa regione giapponese dichiarando la bellezza della natura, le grandi distese e il colore dell'Oceano mi hanno profondamente. E questa natura, sono sicuro trasmette le proprie energie agli abitanti di Kyushu, gente molto espressiva ed energia, in perfetta sintonia con la terra in cui vivono.

SKU: CL.012-4642-00
An epic programmatic piece, Forged In Fire is a work of vibrant energy, vivid color and immense power. It draws inspiration from the immense power and uses of fire, and its effect on early civilization and industrialization. A calm and sensitive introductions leads to a new theme at a quickening tempo. This theme, stated simply at first, is then embellished by a driving rhythm multi-meter effect, and further developed with layered contemporary harmonies, changing textures and variations on the theme. After a breathtaking climax, the original theme is restated, more powerfully this time. It then subsides, before building to a shimmering, red hot ending that will leave your audience breathless. Certain to become a mainstay for concert and festival use. Not to be missed!

DONâ €™T FORGET TO WRITE is a whole lot more than an engaging slow-fast recital piece. Inspired by the composer’s son heading off to college, its first movement (“Blue Skiesâ€) is a warm expression of wistfulness, enriched by melodic phrases in major that echo back in minor. The second movement (“Flying the Coopâ€) bursts with adolescent exuberance, at once sounding motoric yet eluding expectations through rhythmic chicanery. Composed as an unaccompanied competition piece for the Oklahoma Flute Society, DON’T FORGET TO WRITE is ideal for recital use, combining its musical elements with gut emotion.
