“It’s time to play the music. It’s time to light the lights. It’s time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight.” These lyrics opened the Muppet Show, which has been broadcast in over 100 countries around the world. The multi-talented Jim Henson was the creative inspiration for the show, developing the characters, providing some of the voices for the puppets and composed the theme song. Now you can bring the lights and music to your stage with this flexible arrangement in five parts with drum kit!

In 2011, Barbara Garrop, my mother, commissioned me to write a piano trio in memory of Norman Garrop, my father, who passed away about thirty years ago. When I started brainstorming about topics for the piece, I found it difficult to recall many moments of my early life involving my father. Too many years had passed, and the memories that I could summon were of achild looking up to her father, not an adult relating to an equal. However, while collecting stories of my father from various family members, along with discovering a number of objects that had once belonged to him and that I had stored away in boxes decades ago, I began to realize that this piece wasn't so much about my father as it was about my re-discovering the man that he was: a loving husband and dad who cared deeply about his family and his passions (which included bike riding, collecting coins, strumming our guitar, playing baseball, watching football games, entertaining people, helping to run local theater and puppet productions, and carving objects out of wook); an accountant who dreamed of a better future: a treasurer of our local synagogue; an early advocate for computers (we owned an Apple II+); and a pranster with a great sense of humor. Ultimately, I decided to musically tell the story of my search for these memories. In the first movement (Without), a child calls out in a sing-song voice, searching for her lost parent. This search intesifies over the course of the movement through a series of themes, including a stepping motif in which a two-note progression steadily climbs higher, a pseudo-jewish folksong, and a passionate longing theme. The child's search becomes increasingly intense throughout the movement, calling out fervently and repeatedly to the parent; the movement ends in a moment of great tnesion and uncertainty. The second movment (Within) quietly opens with the lost parent finally answering, represented by a solo cello; the child (now personified by the violin) has found the parent within the sanctuary of her own heart. This movement highlights the joy and solemnity of this beautiful discovery. -S.G.

Bresnick's multi-media work for three singers, an actor, instrumental ensemble, and shadow puppets tells a Russian folk tale about a dangerous incident along the railroad. It is in Russian, Yiddish, and English. Der Signal has been performed (and championed) by Le Train Bleu, and ensemble formed and conducted by Ransom Wilson.. Der Signal is, as Bresnick allows, low art, which was misconstrued by music critics, leading directly to Bresnick's later composition, High Art. Perhaps the use of shadow puppets should have been a clue. Duration: 15'.
