The Goddess Trilogy was inspired by the Welsh medieval legend of the goddess Cerridwen who was both destroyer and creator, a shape-changing being who appeared various as a white sow, a screaming black hag and a giver of the 'inspired arts'. Shapeshifter is a fast-moving work combining rondo structure with free variations. It relates to the opening work of the trilogy through the short Horn solo in the final bars.Contemporary British composer John McCabe has been a prolific composer since his earliest years and an active pianist, recording extensively and performing across the globe. His compositions tend toward the largescale works - there are seven symphonies so far -but has composed for every size and type of ensemble. He is particularly well known for his concerti.

This is the second in the trilogy called “Widow Poems,” written after the sudden death of a lover. Each of the three represents a different stage in the arc of the poet's grief. In this one, the bereaved begins to handle the material affairs of the deceased as she, glossing Shakespeare's famous funeral poem, contrasts his state of peace with her own dread.

Canadian Folk Trilogy offers a refreshing setting of three popular Canadian Folk songs. Kicking things off is an enjoyable adaptation of Donkey Riding. Singing this tune helped sailors to pass the time as they used the donkey engine to load timber onto the decks of ships in Canadian ports. Inuit Lullaby slows the pace with a simple but beautiful melody set in three bar phrases. Finally, we conclude with a rollicking version of I's the B'y (I'm the Boy), a traditional Newfoundland folk song.

Notes to the Conductor This adaptation of Christmas Carol Trilogy was arranged to accompany the choral arrangement of the same title by Russell Robinson. It can be played with Robinson's vocal arrangements with band and chorus together or as a stand-alone piece for band. If performed together with a chorus, it is recommended that the performers play one to two dynamic levels lower than written (depending on the size of the chorus) so as not to overpower the singers. Please see the chart below for further explanation. Written Dynamic (To be used if band alone) Large Chorus (1 dynamic lower) Small Chorus (2 dynamics lower) mf f ff mp mf f p mp mf Another possibility for performance is for a small group of wind instruments with chorus. Here, performers would play the written dynamics. Below are a few recommended chamber ensembles that would work with a variety of choruses, though there are several other alternatives. In any case, the conductor should be careful to choose a set of instruments that is both balanced in register (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) and in role (melody, countermelody, bass line, etc.) Option 1 (Woodwind Sextet) Flute (Oboe) Clarinet 1 Clarinet 2 Alto Saxophone Tenor Saxophone (Bassoon) Baritone Saxophone (Bass Clarinet) Option 2 (Brass Quintet) Trumpet 1 Trumpet 2 Horn Trombone (Baritone) Tuba (Baritone Saxophone) A final option is to perform with one player per instrumental part. In all instances, the conductor should pay close attention to the balance of the percussion instruments.Notes to the Conductor This adaptation of Christmas Carol Trilogy was arranged to accompany the choral arrangement of the same title by Russell Robinson.
