When I was a freshman in college, I often found that my works did not focus on developing the melodic
material, but rather simply repeated the melodic phrase over and over again with a few minor changes. I
decided that to remedy this problem, I would write a work that was solely focused on development of the
main melody. However, as the piece progressed the overall structure began to change, and therefore the main
goal of the piece changed. My main focus shifted from simple developments to a more complicated
programmatic story, where the main melody is put to the test in many different ways.
When listening to this work or preparing it for a performance, don't just focus purely on how the melodic
material is used. Instead, try and picture the story that the music is telling  that story is completely up to the
listener. The title, Contrary for Entreaty is somewhat inspired from the story that I myself see (a conflict
between the melody and what the melody "should" be), but everyone will view it in different ways. Encourage
your students to picture their own stories when listening, so that they better understand the music, can
hopefully relate to it, and will hopefully be more enthusiastic with working towards a high quality
performance.

Contrary for Entreaty

Baton Music

Rinaldo was the first opera Georg Friederich Hndel produced for London and the first Italian opera composed specifically for the London stage. Even now it's still one of his most performed opera's. In the aria  Lascia ch'io Pianga sings kidnapped Almirena, the beloved of Rinaldo, her tragic fate in the enchanted garden of Armida (the ally of Rinaldo's rival Argante). The melody of this beautiful aria is known worldwide and for example used in the soundtrack of the movie Farinelli.

The Sands of Time is a piece that I began to brainstorm in the fall of 2024, after Brian Theodorson (a conductor of New Horizons Band) offered me an opportunity to write for the band. Around the same time, one of my close friends Ethan Perez used the term “lost to the sands of time” in a text, and the concept for the piece was sealed. This piece aims to depict how I process the passing of time, as well the intense emotions that accompany the process. The conception of this piece could not have come at a better time (no pun intended) as recently graduating college and not being in school for the first time since I can remember has brought on intense emotions, including, nostalgia, confusion, dread, disorientation, confidence, hopelessness, and a general feeling of grief for the past. These emotions can be heard throughout the piece. The same words used to describe my emotions above are also seen in every musician‘s part, marking certain sections of the piece as it is played. The piece also uses unique percussion instruments such as a wind machine, a thunder tube, and a rain stick; all to convey the programmatic element of being lost in a sandstorm. Writing and rehearsing The Sands of Time has been very monumental for me, as it has helped me realize that expressing my emotions through an instrumental medium is not only a core aspect of my musical voice, but it is also something that is essential for my existence.

The Sands of Time

The 'Stabat Mater' is the best known work of Giovanni Pergolesi's.  It was commissioned by the 'Confraternit dei Cavalieri di San Luigi di Palazzo' who presented an annual Good Friday meditation in honor of the Virgin Mary. Pergolesi's work replaced one composed by Alessandro Scarlatti only nine years before, but which was already perceived as 'old-fashioned', so rapidly had public tastes changed. After his death new arrangements of 'Stabat Mater' were made in which the orchestra was extended with wind instruments and sometimes a choir was used. This arrangement concerns the famous opening movement of Stabat Mater in a version for Soprano, Alto and Wind Ensemble.

Gabriel Faur composed 'Nol' in 1885 as an occasional piece; a little Christmas song destined for a performance where a harmonium was available to add a festive carillon color to the piano accompaniment. The lyrics are set on a poem by Victor Wilder. Dutch arranger Christiaan Janssen arranged this song for vioce and a large wind ensemble.

"Barbara Allen" is a traditional folk song that is popular throughout the English-speaking world and beyond. It tells of how the eponymous character denies a dying man's love, and then dies of grief soon after his untimely death. The song began as a ballad in the seventeenth century or earlier, before quickly spreading (both orally and in print) throughout Britain, Ireland, and later North America. [Wikipedia]

This is an arrangement for the Full Concert Band with optional Piano.
