S ele c te d S ac re d Work s of JULIAN WACHNER VOLUME ONE
for SATB Chorus From the Copland-esque influences in Alleluias, Intercessions, and Remembrances to the pop-influenced Sanctus and Benedictus from Wachner’s 1987 Missa Brevis, these selected sacred works are a welcome addition to the repertories of church choirs and university ensembles alike. Included are commissioned works from Harvard University (The Somerville Service), Boston University (Aaronic Benediction), and from Montreal’s famed Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul (Psalm 67). Contents (also available as separate octavos)

S ele c te d S e c u l a r Work s of JULIAN WACHNER for SATB Chorus A collection of Julian Wachner’s more gentle and romantic settings of secular texts, well suited to choirs of all levels. Drawn from three larger and much more epic works [Sometimes I Feel Alive (1998); Rilke Songs (2001); Come, My Dark-Eyed One (2008)], the selections in this anthology are the portions of those larger pieces that are able to be stand alone performances. Contents (also available as separate octavos) “somewhere i have never travelled” from Sometimes I Feel Alive (5847) Der Panther from Rilke Songs (5890) Das Einhorn from Rilke Songs (5894) “Come, My Dark-Eyed One” from Come, My Dark-Eyed One (8344) “Shall we, too, rise forgetful from our sleep” from Come, My Dark-Eyed One (8345)

#twitterlieder: 15 tweets in 3 acts for Soloists, Chorus, and Instrumental Ensemble or Piano “#twitterlieder” chronicles life from birth to old age. It is comprised of 15 tweets, with no more than 140 characters in each. This work is in in three acts: Act I (Youth), Act II (Middle Age), and Act III (Old Age). At the conclusion of each act, an unaccompanied “Greek Chorus” comments on the previous life events and contains the only tweets in the work that rhyme. The very essence of tweeting is brevity, and this is reflected in the duration of each movement; a vignette in a life unfolding. The total duration of the complete work is approximately 25 minutes. However, if a shorter version is desired, the work may be approached in modular manner. For example, a conductor may choose to perform only one of the acts, only two or three from each act, only the unaccompanied choruses, etc. Whichever path you choose, I truly hope you enjoy performing this work. —James Eakin Piano/Vocal Score (TTBB Version) Full Score (TTBB Version) Parts (TTBB & SATB Versions) Piano/Vocal Score (SATB Version) Full Score (SATB Version)

Hear My Cry, O God
Baritone Solo, SATB unaccompanied The composer has arranged a stunning rendition of H. T. Burleigh’s unadorned adaption of the poignant, anonymous, original melody. A brief sketch of Black History is given, as well as a summary of why this work is singularly unique in the history of American music. It also is a heartfelt celebration of the African-American Spiritual, and the 150th anniversary of the “Emancipation Proclamation”(1863–2013).
Carlyle Sharpe SATB unaccompanied Commissioned to commemorate the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001, “Hear My Cry, O God” captures the solemnity of the occasion, and the mix of emotions surrounding it, through lyrically introspective music contrasted with an overtly perseverant climax.

For the Lamb Will Be Their Shepherd Frank Ferko SATB unaccompanied This work was commissioned to be performed as a companion piece to Bach’s Cantata 112 (based on Psalm 23). Based on Renaissance motet models, this motet begins with the entire text sung to an originally composed chant melody which then becomes the basis for the rest of the work. The chant melody is repeated in long note values, as a cantus firmus, sung alternately by the tenors and the sopranos, while the other voices provide exuberant counterpoint. Medium

Newman was inspired to write this text in 1833 after recovering from a difficult illness. The overall tone is both reverent and fervent, beginning with simple humility and rising to a climax on the text: ‘And with the morn those angel faces smile…’ The arc of the piece reflects the spiritual journey of moving through the difficult night to the comfort of morning.

PIANO Variations on Arirang
Tenebræ factæ sunt
Stanley M. Hoffman
Stephen Sametz
Composed for the 2008 Sejong Music Composition Competition, Stanley M. Hoffman presents a set of variations for piano based on a traditional Korean theme. As performers move among the variations, they will experience music influenced by the styles of Chopin, Piazzolla, and Beethoven. The set of variations comes to a close with a repeat of the opening arpeggiated passage.
An expansive organ solo based on the Fifth Responsory for Matins of the Good Friday Service (Ambrosian Chant). A descriptive musical setting of darkness covering the earth and Christ crying out “My God, my God, why has thou forsaken me?” A powerful and moving solo appropriate for Good Friday, or for concert use.

Lagniappe David Ashley White “’Lagniappe’ is a Cajun word meaning ‘extra gift,’ and it is commonly used in some restaurants to describe a small food offering presented on behalf of the chef. Taking this connection with food one step further, I discovered [that] Gordon Jacob, the English composer, picturesquely remarked that the tone of the celesta always reminded him of the taste of a ripe plum.” —David Ashley White
Gwyneth Walker This music is based upon the folk prayer, “Beside the Still Waters,” inspired by the 23rd Psalm: Beside the still waters, I will lay my body down, with breezes floating o’er me, and a garland for my crown. I will see the Light Eternal. I will breathe the open air. Beside the still waters, O Lord, please lead me there. Moderately Easy

HARPSICHORD Triptych for Harpsichord Frank Ferko
Based on Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. Contents: ‘Twas Brillig; Gyre and Gimble; Residents of the Tulgey Woods (Mimsy Borogoves; Jubjub Bird; Frumious Bandersnatch); The Tumtum Tree; The Jabberwock; The Vorpal Blade; Galumphing Back; O Frabjous Day! Also includes a Lexicon of Terms.
Triptych for Harpsichord was composed in the spring of 2000 for harpsichordist Tatiana Zenaishvili. Ms. Zenaishvili gave the world premiere of the work in a concert in Rachmaninov Hall in Moscow, Russia on January 25, 2001. She subsequently performed the American premiere at a concert in Lutkin Hall in Evanston, Illinois on April 17, 2001. Triptych for Harpsichord employs formal concepts which were commonly used in harpsichord works of the 17th and 18th centuries—toccata, variations and fugue—but no attempt was made to simulate a baroque musical style. The theme upon which the second movement is based is an old, Russian folk song. The variations have maintained the tonal style of the original melody. The fugue subject used in the third movement is based on a theme introduced in the toccata movement.

Sonata for Violoncello and Piano
Julian Wachner C Trumpet and Organ Composed in 2014, Blue, Green, Red, a three-movement piece for trumpet and organ, is infused with the influences of jazz and blues. Julian Wachner paints each movement’s respective color with aplomb using the tone colors of the two instruments to great effect. C Trumpet part included.
David Conte
Prelude and Fughetta
“Sonata for Violoncello and Piano was written especially for cellist Emil Miland […] I fashioned in this piece long, arching melodies that are unabashedly lyrical and romantic in character. The first movement, marked Allegro Moderato Appassionato, is cast in an expansive sonata-allegro form, and its trajectory unfolds with bold, sweeping gestures […] the movement is highly chromatic, giving the musical character a sense of heightened inflection and intensity.” —David Conte. Part included with score.

C Flute or Alto Flute and Organ “[…]this piece deals with a friendly tug-of-war between diatonic and chromatic music. The theme one hears in both the Prelude and the Fughetta is based on letters from the name of the flute player who commissioned this work, Peter Sheridan. The Fughetta is far from strict in terms of fugal rules […] more of an imitative fantasia than anything else.” —Stanley M. Hoffman

Violin and Viola This brilliant duo for violin and viola is a virtuosic work for professional players. It displays dazzling string techniques, jazzy rhythms, and rich textures. The expressive reflections on the early 19th-century American hymn tune BOURBON is the real heart of the piece. This piece is quintessentially American, and it is a marvelous addition to the literature.
Brass Quintet or Brass Ensemble The title of the piece is the Latin word for “imagination.” Opening with a lively fanfare, syncopated rhythms drive the first section toward a reflective middle section. Explorations of the melody, counter-melody, and jazz-influenced harmonies are distributed among the various instruments. An accelerando then launches the return of the opening material and builds toward a coda of vigorous rhythmic fanfares and resolute melody.

Caprice Variations George Rochberg / Christina Jennings The arranger’s transcription includes 20 of the original 51 caprices. She chose to include those best suited to the flute while representing the enormous stylistic range of Rochberg’s entire set. Her goal for the transcriptions was to use the flute to its fullest capacity, challenging the player with dynamic, technical and stylistic extremes: the range of these variations goes from a B1 to an E4 and from pppp to ffz! She made minimal breathing and metronome suggestions, adding these only when they seemed most important. In George Rochberg’s Afterword to the Performer, he permits omitting some of the repeats and variations to suit the length and artistic discretion of the performer. However, he advocates for balance in preserving “the stylistic spread which is a fundamental premise of this work.”
