Song of a Summer Night evokes the tranquility of a warm summer night as a breeze from the south stirs the trees. The lyrical melody evolves and transforms throughout the piece until it reaches an unexpected but satisfying conclusion. The well-crafted orchestration provides an opportunity for the clarinets to display the chalumeau register and for percussionists to explore a variety of different color possibilities. (4:10).

Summer Solstice is a 19-minute concerto in three movements, composed for solo clarinet with a colorfully-textured string orchestra. The piano reduction is comfortably voiced for recital use. Dorff's joy in writing for his own instrument is readily heard in the warm cantabile writing and gracefully idiomatic passagework. Drawing inspiration from the elegance of Mozart's concerto and the rhythmic grit of Copland's, Dorff's concerto is a true hybrid of jazz-inspired language with classical form and counterpoint. The Philadelphia Inquirer has written, Summer Solstice is light without being insubstantial, melodic without being obvious. It has an invariably American sound. Orchestral score and parts are available on rental. Full score is also available for sale as study score (416-41604) or large score (416-41604L).____________ _________________________ Text from the scanned back cover:Summer Solstice (Concerto for Clarinet and Strings)The Philadelphia Inquirer has written “Summer Solstice is light without being insubstantial, melodic without being obvious.

Eternal Summer is like a breath of fresh air in the warm heat of summer. It is a tuneful composition from composer Peter Terry that exhibits all of the elements he has already become known for - fresh harmonic perspectives, driving rhythms, and wonderful scoring.Eternal Summer captures the essence of the early summertime, when all things seem possible and the days are long and filled with promise. This fanfare-like work gives a young orchestra the chance to play strong fanfare figures with accented and staccato articulations as well as longer lyrical lines, most noticeably from mm. 23-34. Create a strong contrast between these articulated fanfares and the legato slurred passages and pay particular attention to the dynamics throughout the piece. Make sure to make the section from m. 54 to the end large and dramatic, but save enough energy to finish with a real fortissimo with a good, full tone from m. 62 on.I enjoyed writing this piece and hope your students will enjoy playing these contrasting styles and that you will find the piece beneficial in teaching important musical concepts.—Peter TerryBluffton, Ohio 2016.

The music for Sol is built out of the massive tutti-sound of the organ. The feeling is very much like the feeling of the sun shining down brightly onto you on a warm summer's day.

On warm summer nights, I listen to crickets sing their love songs to God... Penned by American poet Robert Bode, these thoughtful words and the poem from which they are taken inform the title for this book. Bode has long been a sought-after poet, providing deeply moving words for choral and solo music, many of which are included here. This collection of Bode’s lyric poetry displays the poet’s affection for the things of this world, both physical and emotional. “Songs†of morning, evening, nature, love, music, inspiration, and humor lift up and inspire thought. Most notably, the section focused on songs of justice, war, and healing offers many important messages for this time. Robert Bode is the Artistic Director of Choral Arts Northwest, a semi-professional chamber chorus in Seattle. In 2010, Bode and Choral Arts NW received the Margaret Hillis Award for Choral Excellence, presented by Chorus America. His poems are performed by choirs and soloists worldwide.
