Wednesday Morning Trios

This complete voice (contralta) and string quartet version brings out the full color and texture of the original full-orchestra version.  Each instrument part includes a small, cued staff above showing the vocal line and lyrics. This makes rehearsal and performances much easier to coordinate without a conductor. The original instrumentation is occasionally noted in the player's part to help with making decisions about playing style and use of vibrato. "Loco" refers to reverting back to a string part.

For advanced players as the work makes full use of each instrument, double stops, and extended ranges. Contains both score and parts.
Movements 1, 2, 4 were first performed March 2016 at the Elgar Society (North America Branch) Conference in Chicago, by the Grant Street Quartet.

2 Violins, Viola, Cello Quintet

Format

For Violin 1, Violin 2, Violin 3; Viola 1, Viola 2; Cello 1, Cello 2; Bass. It also includes a section for solo violin, solo viola, and solo cello. ALL parts are essential, though part 2 and 3 are less complex. About 7 - 8 minutes.

This colorful work brings together the joy of approaching spring, with the majesty and grace of the Adirondack forests and mountains. The work offers an opportunity to combine players of differing skill levels: from more basic parts to highly advanced solo moments for violin, viola, and cello. 

Program note: The work opens with the majestic scene of spring's first daybreak as the morning light shines on the snow-covered peaks of the Adirondacks. The sun, finally high enough in the sky to meet the snowy slopes and valley treetops, sets them ablaze.  And then it begins. Joyfully, a world comes back to life. Rivers thaw and unbound streams of fresh-melted water bounce, gurgle and surge. Animals stir, birds reappear, all rushing through the days, now relieved of the weight of winter. Hesitantly, bright-green sprouts, fuzzy buds, and flowers emerge. The springtime world dances. And all the while, the sun continues to rise, earlier and earlier, frantically, like a hound dashing to overtake its shadow. This galloping energy brings us to the majestic and final sunrise of spring, for summer will now insist on its turn. And as the morning fades into brilliant day, we are left with only a memory. A memory guaranteed to return. Next spring.

Yarmouth Time: Nor'easter - Latchstring Lullaby  Walkabouts
Duration: 10 - 12 Minutes
Score and parts together. 

In the Spring of 2018, I spent three months on Cousins Island off the coast of Yarmouth ME as the KISMET Foundation Artist-in-Residence. Yarmouth Time reflects my impressions during this period of being surrounded by intense weather, nature, and beauty. After an introductory "sunrise," I capture my experience of two nor'easters with stormy gusts of wind and snow, leaping waves, swaying trees, and shifting gales. As the winds swirl away into calmness, a song arises as a nod to the warm hearts of the people of Yarmouth, echoing their welcoming town motto "Our Latchstring Always Out." Seabirds, gulls, and ospreys add their own commentary. Then, I tapped into the feel and enjoyment of walking the local trails, moving through nature, and taking in the scenery, bird calls, fresh air, and vibrant colors. Just before setting off on this walkabout, however, I inserted a sound from the Casco Bay seascape which was new to me  a lobster boat motor.  The work concludes with a sound-portrait of the frequently seen yet ever awe-inspiring pink-hued sunset over the eastern coastline.

Yarmouth Time appears on the Trio Casals album "Moto Finale" released in December 2021 on the Navona label.

Wintram

This  familiar carol has its roots in a traditional folk chant about a swallow bringing a New Year's message of  plentiful new year, and the title comes from the Ukrainian word for "bountiful". 

I decided to emphasize the sense of bountiful and I open this arrangement with the familiar bell tune now played slowly and elongated by the low, autumnal clarinets. I let this new "theme of abundance" build and fill out colorfully among the whole orchestra before fading away. The flutes offer a suggestion of birds passing in gentle flight. This theme soon becomes recognizable as the well-known bell motif as the piece launches into the familiar carol tune. To close out the work I bring out the dance energy of the cross rhythms and counter melodies.

This work was recorded by the Janackova Filharmonie Ostrava, Stanislav Vavrinek, conductor, and released on the Navona Label in 2024 as part of the "Dashing Vol.4 " album.
