Based on an Armenian troubadour song, I WILL NOT BE SAD IN THIS WORLD is a uniquely beautiful work for alto flute (or bass flute) accompanied by a pre-recorded audio track made purely from the composer’s own singing. The result is a fluid interplay between the live flute and the composer’s multi-tracked and processed vocal sonorities. The work was created for Marya Martin’s “Eight Visions†collection (published by Presser), and is now available as a single publication.I will not be sad in this world is based on the song “Ashkharumes Akh Chim Kashil†by the legendary 18th-century Armenian troubadour Sayat Nova. The song is often played on the duduk, and your flute playing should respond to the ornamentation, intonation, and vibrato of traditional duduk playing.In playing this piece, you will want to be flexible with time: the 32nd notes are mostly notated grace notes coloring the following note, and can be compressed towards that next note for effect. Similarly, the meter should be downplayed: use the pre-recorded part to give you guideposts, and then shape your phrases quite freely around those guideposts.I strongly suggest that you listen to my demo recording of the piece, as it will give an indication of what I am looking for. I have not transcribed every note that I sang on the demo, and similarly, once you feel comfortable with the playing style, you can ornament the melody with some flexibility yourself. The notated turns are meant to indicate places where it is most natural to do some ornamentation.The piece can be played on either alto flute or bass flute. I am hoping for a certain vulnerability in your playing, so choose the flute that will help you most with that. If you are playing in a dry hall, you might consider slight amplification, not for volume, but to allow you to add reverb to your sound. It will then be easier to blend well with the tape part.Optionally, one (or even two) additional flutists may double the lines called “voice†that are part of the tape part. The additional player(s) should play more softly than the soloist, and get even softer as the piece progresses and the electronics take over.* * *Thanks to Marya Martin who commissioned the piece. Many thanks to my friend and colleague Margaret Lancaster, who tried out the piece for me and advised me about notation. Thanks also to the Civitella Ranieri Foundation who were my generous hosts while I was writing I will not be sad in this world.The audio accompaniment and the demo are available for free download from the “Additional Downloads†tab at www.presser.com/114-42236.

Tre Volti (Three Faces) has been commissioned by the renowned “New Trombone Collectiveâ€, exclusively existing of top-trombonists from the Dutch symphony orchestras. The world première was given by the commissioners and took place in “De Doelen†in Rotterdam on april 16th 2011 - during the “Slide Factory†- European Trombone Festival.The composer aimed to illustrate 3 different aspects of the instrument in as many movements. Effetti e Tecniche (Effects and Techniques) displays a large amount of specific spectacular and acrobatic possibilities and also various colors and sounds by using different mutes. It contains many “glissandi†as well as clusters with semi tones andquarter tones, all being “typical†for the trombone indeed. The Lamento Lirico (Lyrical Lamento) combines the rather serious and noble voice of the trombone with an aspect which not automatically is connected to that instrument: the melodical character. The overall atmosphere of this movement is somewhat sad and strained and refers to the many beautiful but rather dark passages in the orchestral and opera literature where the trombone section as such is used ...The final movement is called Sonata Antica (Antique Sonata) and is directly inspired by two “sonatas†for 3 and 4 trombones by Daniel Speer (1636 - 1707). It illustrates the “historical†dimension of the trombone: indeed it was the only brass instrument being able to play chromatically - many centuries before all other brass instruments - thanks to the unique slide system which even during the Middle Ages was applicable already. The antiphonal position, the dialoguing motives and the “neo-early-baroque†idiom really pay homage to Daniel Speer: he composed a certain number of pieces for brass instruments indeed and the composer used thematic material from his Sonatas in d and a in various ways, thus concluding this varied composition in a festive way. Een driedelige - uitdagende - suite voor trombone ensemble.Tre Volti (zu deutsch: Drei Gesichter) - In drei deutlich kontrastierenden Bewegungen versucht der Komponist, ebenso viele Facetten der Posaune zu beleuchten. Der erste Teil EFFETTI E TECNICHE präsentiert eine Reihe akrobatischer und spektakulärer Effekte, die auf diesem vielseitigen Instrument möglich sind, sowie einige Klangfarben (letztere mit einem Dämpfer gespielt). Das LAMENTO LIRICO enthält die eher ernsten Töne, welche die Posaune in der Regel spielt und kombiniert diese mit einem Aspekt, der doch eher ungewöhnlich für dieses Instrument ist: einem melodischen Charakter. Der dritte Satz - SONATA ANTICA - wurde unmittelbar von zwei der bekanntesten Sonaten vonDaniel Speer (1636-1701) inspiriert. Hier geht es um die historische Dimension der Posaune: Tatsächlich war sie das erste Blechblasinstrument, auf dem man - Jahrhunderte vor allen anderen - schon chromatisch spielen konnte. Tre Volti (Trois Visages) est une commande du prestigieux New Trombone Collective, composé des meilleurs trombonistes des orchestres symphoniques néerlandais. La première mondiale, assurée par la formation dédicataire, a eu lieu le 16 avril 2011 au Doelen de Rotterdam dans le cadre du “Slide Factoryâ€, le festival européen consacré aux trombones.Le compositeur souhaitait illustrer trois aspects de l’instrument en trois mouvements. Effetti e Tecniche (Effets et Techniques) évoque les nombreuses possibilités acrobatiques du trombone, ainsi que l’emploi de sourdines pour obtenir différents timbres et couleurs. Ce mouvement développe de nombreux glissandi ainsi quedes mesures avec des demi-tons et quart de tons, des effets “typiques†du trombone. Le Lamento Lirico (Complainte Lyrique) tisse une trame l’empreinte mélodique et aux motifs plutôt nobles et sérieux, mettant en évidence l’une des caractéristiques que l’on n’associe pas toujours avec cet instrument. Le climat général de ce mouvement, quelque peu triste et tendu, fait référence aux nombreuses oeuvres orchestrales et opératiques où les trombones se voient attribuer des passages sombres et mélancoliques.Le dernier mouvement, intitulé Sonata Antica, s’inspire directement de deux sonates de Daniel Speer (1636-1707) pour trois et quatre trombones respectivement. Il illustre la dimension historique du trombone, qui était d’ailleurs, au Moyen ge, le seul cuivre capable de jouer chromatiquement gr ce au système de coulisse, et ce plusieurs siècles avant les autres cuivres. La forme antiphonale, les motifs de dialogue et l’idiome “ancien néo-baroque†rendent hommage Daniel Speer. Le compositeur de Tre Volti a emprunté, sa manière, plusieurs thèmes des sonates en Ré et en La pour conclure joyeusement cette composition aux multiples facettes.
