Break-Dance is an obvious next of kin to the two Clarinet trios Vox In Rama and Tattoo For Three. This piece, however, combines the roaring despair of the first trio with the twisted rhythmical display of the latter. The title, of course, is a reference to the modern street-dance electric boogie, but the very music itself takes the naming most literally indeed: formally and rhythmically, after a straightforward head-on opening, it breaks into isolated, jagged fragments, winding up in a bouncing piano cadenza. Albeit not an obvious piano concerto, the piano part hovers in the front line, the same way the horizontal guy, ringing himself on the pavement, is doubtless an eye-catcher to passers-by. The springy 'body-language' that kicks off the piece suddenly stiffens and freezes into hard-edged blocks and the real 'dance of breaks' emerges into focus. Break-dance is commissioned by and dedicated to Yvar Mikhashoff and Spectrum. Arranged for 2 Trumpets, 3 Trombones, and Piano.

Judith Weir 'S Day Break Shadows Flee For Solo Piano. This 10 Minute Work Was Commissioned By Bbc Radio 3. It Was First Performed By Benjamin Grosvenor On 1St September 2014, As Part Of The Proms Chamber Music Series At Cadogan Hall. ' Day Break Shadows Flee , Written For Benjamin Grosvenor, Is A Two-Part Invention, A Piano Solo Composition In Which The Two Hands Work In Close Co-Ordination But Independently. My Intention Was Generally To Avoid Using Thick Chords (Although Octaves And Other Clear Sonorities Are Included) While Allowing Both The Right And Left-Hand Lines To Be Free, Mobile And Expressive. The Treble And Bass Sectors Of The Keyboard Are Clearly Contrasted AndOften Widely Separated. In Atmosphere And Expression The Music Is Another Kind Of Two-Part Invention, Contrasting Bright, Upwards-Arching Phrases (Heard At The Opening And Evoking The Arrival Of Light At The Beginning Of The Day) With Veiled, Mysterious Scurryings, Suggesting The Stranger, More Nervous Life Lived At Night And In The Early Morning. ' - Judith Weir.

Break Through is my musical representation of one's struggle to pass through a barrier or move beyond an obstacle. This could be a literal breakthrough or a metaphorical achievement. The composition is centered around the key of G minor to achieve a dark, resonant emotion. The percussion is the heartbeat and pulse for the introduction and should follow all dynamics to match the winds. Soft rolling mallets should be used for the bass drum and gong rolls, creating a dark timbre without overpowering the ensemble. At Rehearsal 13, work to have a balanced section where the clarinets can be heard on the melody and the tenor sax and horn on the countermelody. Rehearsal 21 provides a fully scored variation of the theme and should continue to be as dark as possible. Rehearsal 29 is the final musical struggle before the Rehearsal 38 'break through' climax of the composition. The resolution of the relative major of Bb should be majestic and triumphant. Finally, rehearsal 48 transitions to a recapitulation of the opening theme, moving towards a contemplative ending back to G minor. I hope you and your ensemble enjoy perforinming Break Through.

Este libro quiere hacerle descubrir, trabajar y sobre todo tocar “en situación” unos breaks y fills a la batería, cuya vocación consiste en vincular una parte de un toque a otra. Tanimportantesde dominar como los ritmos que ellas van a “quebrar” (“break” en inglés), dichas partes de batería son más o menos largas según el papel que tienen quedesempeñar.Así, por su duración (1 tiempo, 2 tiempos o 1ª medida) vamos a tratar los breaks aquí, tanto en un marco binario como ternario. Son 6 capítulos en total, con, para cada uno, unosejerciciostécnicos preliminares – para engrasar un poco la máquina – antes de poder tocar unos grooves, y sobre todo unos breaks en un marco puramente musical, en unos toques y con un montón deplaybacks amodo de soporte de toque. Para cada una de las aplicaciones musicales Ud dispondrá de cinco grabaciones diferentes en el CD MP3 adjunto, repartidas de la manera siguiente: la batería sola, en aire normal yluegomás lento, la misma parte de batería tocada ahora en su playback, y por último el playback solo, en aire normal y más lento… para que cada uno pueda aprender y tocar a su ritmo, segúnsunivel y sus capacidades. O sea, más de 6 horas de música en total.

THE STARS ASLEEP, THE BREAK OF DAY is my most instrumentally colorful Grade 1 work and I believe in this area it breaks new ground. Furthermore, the musical content greatly exceeds Grade 1 expectations. Beginning band students have something to study here that presents opportunity for real musical development. Band directors will notice immediately that the scoring does not look like Grade 1 music. The music actually sounds like a Grade 3 work but it is not. The ranges and technical demands are truly only Grade 1, but the variety in the instrumentation is ample. Numerous cues and cross-cues allow less secure bands to rehearse or perform the work. The flexibility of tempo in the first movement presents unique challenges in performance and teaching. The sparkling and dancelike second movement is cinematic in its instrumental colors and pacing, and will be fun to perform. Instrumental sections that are used to being buried in the mix will discover that their roles in band music can be significant. Ensemble instrumentation: 6 Flute 1, 6 Flute 2, 2 Oboe, 2 Bassoon, 6 Bb Clarinet 1, 6 Bb Clarinet 2, 3 Bb Bass Clarinet, 4 Eb Alto Saxophone 1, 4 Eb Alto Saxophone 2, 2 Bb Tenor Saxophone, 2 Eb Baritone Saxophone, 6 Bb Trumpet 1, 6 Bb Trumpet 2, 4 F Horn, 4 Trombone 1, 4 Trombone 2, 4 Euphonium, 2 Euphonium (T.C.), 6 Tuba, 2 Timpani, 2 Percussion 1, 4 Percussion 2, 3 Percussion 3.

As a teenager, Fr. Rob Galea's reaction to those painful feelings was addiction, violence, and destructive friendships. When the recording artist and former Australian X Factor contestant finally let God in, his life completely changed. In Breakthrough, Fr. Rob shares his journey from scared teenager to passionate priest and invites you to learn more about the Catholic faith so you, too, can find hope in Christ. Contemporary culture compels approaches to evangelization that are new in ardor, method, and expression. Fr. Rob Galea's efforts to reach young people with the saving power of the Gospel exemplify all three, and in his new book, he reveals precisely where his zeal for the mission originates—in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, who is living, present, and accessible to all people in his Church. —Most Rev. Robert Barron, Auxiliary Bishop of Los Angeles Fr. Rob Galea's story reveals what happens when God is allowed to break through our little, personal worlds. It is the story of a dynamic, young, comitted Catholic priest, singer, and performer, and a testimony to the Mighty One who continues to do great things in the lives of young women and men today. —Rev. Thomas Rosica, C.S.B., CEO of the Salt and Ligh Catholic Media Foundation Fr. Rob bears his heart and soul in Breakthrough. His vulnerability and authenticity are refreshing, his story is encouraging, and his love for the Lord is an inspiration to anyone who seeks Jesus and desires to give thier life to him. I enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to anyone, especially young people who want to love the Lord and know where they fit and how God can use them. —Katie Prejean McGrady, author of Follow.
