The last seventeen duets are moderately difficult as they have extended ranges and a greater variety of key signatures.Trombone Duets
8202785db3a0-9e3b-11f0-a418-0022482c9682R01652Beneath Calm WatersBENEATH CALM WATERS is a cinematic tone poem evoking the scene of a gigantic sea creature rising from the depths below to wreak havoc on an ill-fated cruise ship passing through its domain. Below the French horns performing the main melody, the violins and violas play harmonics, while the cello and double bass tremolos mimic the rise of the giganteum from a distance while imminent doom fills the passengers with horror. Artificial harmonics are strongly advised in the exposition. The slower middle section is ominous, suggesting the leviathan resubmerging beneath the waves. Low strings and woodwinds alternate on the melody while harp and violin glissandi add to the feeling of impending danger. The piece ends dramatically, with the rhythmic motiffs from the main theme returning followed by a brief chorale, then ending with a final burst of frantic energy, concluding the scene with an air of suspense.2+Picc.2.2.2: 2.2.3.1: Timp.Perc(4).Hp: Str

82047860ADAE-1102-4697-B4F4-09A25CF90C5AA848002Giselle: Grand Pas de DeuxGISELLE, a two-act ballet by French composer Adolphe Adam (1803-1856), was premiered in Paris on June 28, 1841, and is, along with the Christmas carol MINUIT, CHRÉTIENS (O HOLY NIGHT in English), Adam's most famous work. It tells the tale of a peasant girl who, falling prey to the deceitful and selfish flirtations of a betrothed noblemen (Albrecht), dies of a broken heart when the truth is revealed. In death, she joins the wilis, ghostly spirits of girls who have died before their wedding day and mercilessly make any man they come across dance to death. But when the repentant Albrecht is caught in the wilis' snare, they choose to dance a GRAND PAS DE DEUX, because the form allows Giselle to dance her own variation, thus buying time to save her former beloved. The ballet was an immediate success upon its premiere and remains a major part of the repertoire.

82087865e633-9e3b-11f0-a418-0022482c9682R01653Byzantium: Eastern FrontThis work was inspired by the great Alexios Komnenos, emperor of Byzantium during 1081 to 1095. During the first crusade, he fought and won several battles, marking his brilliant mind for strategy and tactics. The composer writes: "In my mind high above, I saw birds circling the plains outside Byzantium, whilst below, a great army amassed and waited for the great emperor to lead on his horse. Together with Alexios in front, the army charged the Mongolian army. Sonically, the brass oratory heralds the start of the charge followed by a carpet of ostinato strings, reflecting horses moving towards an epic battle." Tight timing of the entire orchestra is critical for this piece.2+Picc.2.2.2: 2.2.3.1: Timp.Perc(3).Hp: Str

The title of the composition is a riff on both Harrison Birtwistle’s Carmen arcadiae mechanicae perpetuum (The Perpetual Song of Mechanical Arcady) and Christopher Rouse’s The Infernal Machine. For centuries, composers have been fascinated with and have drawn inspiration from the sounds and operations of mechanical devices of various sorts, including Haydn, Beethoven, and the early 20th century Futurists. During the course of this work, relatively short, machine-like events (some pitched, some non-pitched) continually start up, sputter, and inevitably stall. Just when it seems as if they are at last humming along, having become increasingly pitch-centric in the process, a spanner is thrown into the works, and everything is brought abruptly to a halt. The machines struggle to restart themselves, but, in the end, their song does indeed prove to be all too fleeting.1(dPicc).1.2(2nd dBCl).1: 1(dTempleBlock).1(dTempleBlock).1(dTempleBlock).0: Perc(2): Pno(7-foot or smaller recommended): Str (1-1-1-1-1)
8211787464E7-F7F6-4B0E-BB36-18718E0CE39CSU564Ghostdancers: Threnody for Wounded Knee"Ghostdancers" is a reflective tone poem based on the tragic story of the Piaute Medicine Man named Wovoka and his development of the "Ghost Dance," which many Plains Indians adopted in the late 19th Century in a desperate effort to call their ancestors back from the dead to help them repel the massive immigration of white settlers to the Great Plains, whose rapid influx disrupted the Plains Indians food sources. The tragic history of the "Ghost Dance" culminated during the Wounded Knee Massacre, which has become infamous as the last hostile act between Native Americans and the United States Government. "Ghostdancers" was commissioned by David Fedele for the University of Kansas Flute Choir.Flute Choir and Percussion: 6 C Flutes (opt. Ocarina), Alto Flute, and Bass Flute

8213787A2F25-4212-42DE-A0F7-1FE9DB90860FSU106Heavens Are Telling, TheBenedetto Marcello (1686-1739) was an Italian composer, writer, and theorist. His early studies were on the violin, which he soon abandoned in favor or singing and writing counterpoint. A merciless critic, he lampooned the operas of Vivaldi and his contemporaries in his satirical Il teatro alla moda (Venice, c. 1720). Among his pupils were the singer Faustina Bordogni and the composer Baldassare Galuppi. Marcello composed a number of operas and stage works, as well as vocal and instrumental music.

Marcello is best remembered for his vocal music of all kinds--sacred and secular, small scale and large scale. It was the setting of the first fifty psalms (with Italian paraphrase by G. A Giustiniani) in cantata form that won him particular acclaim. Eight volumes of Estro poetico~armonico were produced in Venice between 1724 and 1726. "Coeli enarrant etc.” ("The Heavens Are Telling") is the first section (verse 1) of Psalm XVIII. In the modern Bible, ”The heavens are telling" is Psalm XIX:1.

"Psalm XVIII" is in the key of C, and is scored for alto, two tenors, bass and continuo. There are a total of nine sections that vary in length and texture, including solos, solo quartet, tutti chorus, and chordal and fugal styles. Tempi range from presto to largo, and the text is developed or through-composed. A section may consist of a single verse or several verses. As in other psalms of Estro poetico armonico, Marcello includes a section based on Hebrew chant (vs. 8-12, which alternate between solo and chorus as well as an ecclesiastical intonation (v. 16b). "Psalm XVIII" is unusual, however, in that Marcello also uses Greek chant (v. 15).		Brass Quintet

This powerful composition for narrator, bass and mezzo-soprano soloists, two choruses, and orchestra memorializes the victims of the Ukrainian Famine of 1932-1933, an event that has been largely overlooked in the 20th Century and after. Stankovych expresses the sadness and despair uniquely through music in this setting of text by Dmytro Pavlychko until the work ends with a feeling of tranquility.Pno: Vn Solo: Narr.Bass Solo.MzSop Solo: 2 SATB Choirs
