Sharkova brings a third selection from Gavrilin's massive work Chimes to better choirs. Sunset Music features a consistent bell-like 5/4 rhythm in the lower voices, with a simple and lovely ringing melody in the higher range. The music builds to a forte clanging, before dying away into silence. Text is onomatopoeic syllables (din don don or a sustained bom, etc.), and the optional (although recommended) oboe part is available as a free download from the publisher's website.

Cedar Canyon Sketches will take you on a journey through the Texas Hill Country. It begins with the tranquil sounds of nighttime blanketing a peaceful canyon. Chambers then deftly moves the piece through a joyful wagon ride section, and later delivers the apex of the piece, which was inspired by a beautiful sunset. A very programmable piece, this will be a hit at your next concert!
