Kevin Volans: 1000 Bars (Short Version)

For Violin, Cello and Piano Duet.In the past composers wrote 'pieces' of music. More important pieces were called'works'. Nowadays, however, most composers write minutes. Phone up any professional composer and ask how'r'ya doing? and nine out of ten will say something like: "Terrible/ awful ? I've only written 4 (or ?..) minutes and I have to write ? minutes!"We're all commissioned to write minutes - like so many feet of wallpaper. Imagine this:" We loved your Jupiter Symphony Mr. Mozart, but it's 3 minutes less than we commissioned."Fortunately most composers cheat a bit, and most commissioners don't sit with stopwatches in their hands.1000 bars is not 1000 bars long. I stopped when the piece was finished. However it did turn out to be exactly 4'33" in duration.What the piece itself is about has nothing to do with its title or length. - Kevin Volans

Sevriens: Breath And Bars

Behind Bars: General Conventions

Reed Burkholder: Monkey Bars

This piece, written in Classical style, reinforces dynamic changes and articulations as the student moves from measure to measure, rung to rung. A delightful recital choice.

Poul Ruders: Variations For Violin Solo

Ruders writes: This short piece 'Variations' for violin solo is composed of 57 bars, which you could call the theme. Each of the bars or musical units are then repeated, but in a reshuffled order, so to speak, and each of the original bars appears, not only in a different context, but in a slightly altered rhythmic guise.

Parallel Movements : für vier Instrumentengruppen

Each part may be performed by four to eight instruments, which are all capable of sustaining a note with identical intensity. The written notes can only be read is treble clef but can be placed anywhere in the register. The composition of the groups of instruments within the individual parts should always be varied both as far as the setting and the proportion of the high, middle and low instruments within one and same part are concerned. The various groups may also consist exclusively of wind or string instruments. It is extremely important to precisely keep the durations and the dynamics. For the duration of a note all factors must remain identical. Accidentals always governonly the note they preceed (even within one bar).

Quintetto d'ottoni

In this work parallel chords, i.e. one of the most significant technical ordering devices of the composer come into full display. The part of the 2nd trumpet starts, for example, with consecutive fourths and a similar arrangements can be encountered in the ensemble of the three other instruments as well. Later on thirds step into the role of fourths. Following the homophonic motion there is a music texture with solo accompaniment. The novelty coming in with the final movement is the effect produced by alternating bars.

Gretchen Heller: Tale of the Tempest

Thus superb solo, which also features syncopation, parallel 3rds, and octaves, will make a great recital piece.

Folk Songs of the World

1. Emerald Isle, in this part, the musical spotlight focuses in on the green island of Ireland and its great wealth of traditional folk music. The piece opens with the air ‘My Lodging Is on the Cold Ground’, also known under the title ‘Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms’ (bars 5-24). Next, we hear another well-known air ‘The Minstrel Boy’ (bars 29-44). Finally, the air ‘The Groves of Blarney’, possibly better known as ‘The Last Rose of Summer’ (bars 53-68) is heard. Each air is heralded by a short introduction and brought to an end by a short conclusion. 2. Old Kentucky Memories, following an introduction of 14 bars all attention is claimed by the song ‘My Old Kentucky Home’. As the piece goes on, snippets of memories emerge, fleetingly, surfacing fast, but quickly disappearing again: this is musically featured by way of small motifs and themes from other songs. These can be heard briefly, and then they disappear, musing on Old Kentucky until the introduction returns to end the piece. 3. Uppland, is a province in Sweden that had a rich folk music culture, like the whole of Sweden, that boasts many songs and dances. A notable amount of these songs and dances have been composed in minor keys, three of which feature in this part. First, we hear ‘Svensk folkvisa’(bars 1-38), followed by the famous ‘Värmlandsvisan’ (bars 39-67) and then brought to an end by ‘Vexelsang’ (bars 68-end). 4. Ratatouille, in this part, no folk songs of just one country or one province are featured. This piece is a mishmash (or ratatouille), a hotchpotch of three folk songs with no significant relation at all. In succession, we hear a song from Russia (bars 1-30), one from Japan (bars 31-58) and one from Australia (bars 59-end). The composer of the Russian song titled ‘The Nightingale’ is Alexander Alyabyev (1787 1851), but the composers of the Japanese song titled ‘Sakura’ and the Australian ‘Waltzing Matilda’ are unknown.

W.A. Mozart: Sinfonia Concertante in A (Wilby)

Reconstructed by Philip Wilby from sketches, consisting of 51 fully orchestrated bars and a partial sketch of a further 83.

Suite Für Zwei Trompeten Und Zwei Posaunen

The titles of all three movements evoke the Baroque era. The first movement is a small ouverture falling into three parts (slow-fast-slow). The second one is a Gigue with alternating bars which is followed attacca by the final movement Air. Due to the presence of alternating bars this otherwise moderately difficult piece requires very careful ensemble playing.
