Munich can be traced as far back as 1593 from Dresden, Germany.  In 1846, Felix Mendelssohn adapted this tune for the quartet "Cast Thy Burden upon the Lord" in the oratorio Elijah.  From that, other representations of this melody have developed, such as the hymn "O Word of God Incarnate."

This piece was arranged for the ATLYS String Quartet to showcase talented and innovative women performers.  The ATLYS String Quartet is an all women chamber group world renown for their incorporation of modern performing techniques and programs music that is both "diverse and intriguing."

Reflections is a set of ten solo pieces for classical guitar that focuses on connecting compositional ideas and moments expressed in the framework of each piece of this collection.

Vesta, Gaia and Lakshmi assume some connection to mythology as these titles take their names from three notable Roman, Greek and Hindu goddesses.  Vesta, Gaia and Lakshmi are classical pieces, but they are not without jazz influence, using the major scale modes to convey a sense of mood and atmosphere that is commonly found in impressionism.  

Pulse No. 1 and No. 2 follow the idea of maintaining a steady beat over changing meter to influence the way the music is perceived.  The melody at the end of Pulse No. 1 creates the melodic material of Pulse No. 2, which can be thought of as an extension to No. 1.  Inspired by minimalist and popular music these pieces are not melodically and harmonically complex, and what makes them of interest is how the feeling of the beat is different in each piece.

Chiasma Nos. 1, 2 and 3 are pieces that find common ground in "linking," created by using similar compositional devices such as chord shapes and patterns, which gives the impression of crossing over or exchanging information from one piece to another.

Sleeping Muse is a three-movement work inspired by the famous 1910 bronze sculpture of Constantin Brancusi's "Sleeping Muse," with each movement expressing some reflection or meditation on Brancusi's work, illustrating the notion of drifting off to sleep, dreaming and waking, while characterizing the impact of our dreams on reality.

Synesthesia is a highly chromatic piece with distantly related harmonic progressions that gives the listener the sense of seeing the different colors in the score and/or hearing the colors in the music.

The abstract nature of these pieces encourages the performer to reflect and draw their own conclusions of imagery and story within the music.

Euphonium/Baritone Book One of the Brass in Color Beginner Method Series introduces a color-coded tablature (Color Fingerings) to help students learn the fingerings of the euphonium/baritone and apply them to notes in the Middle Range.

In this beginner method series students will first learn the note's pitch by listening to his or her instructor, and then by using the Color Fingerings students will be able to easily match the note's pitch with the fingerings of the euphonium/baritone. 

Standard music notation has also been included with each lesson to help the instructor know which notes to play, and to teach students how to read the notes as they match them with the fingerings of the euphonium/baritone.  Breath marks, articulation, dynamics and tempi are not noted in the lessons and may be added by the instructor as needed.  Also, key signatures are not used so that students will focus primarily on listening and learning the fingerings associated with the notes.

There are three main sections in Brass in Color.  The first section is Lessons that introduces new fingerings, notes and music concepts.  The second section is Technique Exercises that consists of two-measure exercises to help students practice and review the material.  The third section is Songs that gives students the opportunity to practice playing longer melodies.

This beginner method series for euphonium/baritone also has a companion website: (www.brassincolor.com) 

On the website you will find audio for each lesson as well as different activities, videos and other resources to help students learn to play the euphonium/baritone.

Suite for Strings in D is an original work that draws its inspiration from previous classical composers of the genreindividuals that set evolving standards in the medium over centuriesincluding Antonin Dvorak, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Edvard Grieg, and Peter Warlock.  The Suite for Strings in D was written to capture some of the stylistic elements found among the works of these composers using musical motives from Keaton's sketchbooks that have been consolidated into a dance suite with a general four-voice texture to produce a lyrical suite for strings.

Stylistic emulations are visible throughout the Suite for Strings in the "Waltz" (Tchaikovsky), the two-part "Ouverture" (Purcell and Corelli), the "Rigaudon" (Peter Warlock), and "La Rejouissance" (Handel).  The suite's fourth movement, "Alla Marcia," conveys Keaton's personal style apart from the other movements' emulations.

Classics for String Quartet

String Quartet Violin 1

On Behalf of ATLYS, it is my privilege to present to you our arrangement of the song Perfect.

This arrangement is inspired by Ed Sheeran's top-charting hit of 2017.  Specifically, the second version of "Perfect" that featured one of our all-time idols, Beyonce. In an interview, Sheeran told a story about how nervous he was to reach out and collaborate with someone who was so iconic and celebrated. Still, with a fearless attitude, he took a chance and asked anyway - and we are so glad he did! Beyonce's one-of-a-kind voice is a worthy pursuit to recreate on a string instrument - look out for those "solo Beyonce moments" in the cello (m. 28) and the viola (m. 32) part. 

The concept for this piece first surfaced in late 2018, admittedly with the primary hope of attracting younger audiences. Completely unfamiliar with the song, we "binge-listened" to it one day while on the road between shows. On the 5th or 6th time through, our cellist Genevieve mentioned that the chord progression could work well with the American hymn "Amazing Grace." As she drove, we sang along to figure out just how the two melodies could co-exist, and I quickly notated it. This being one of my first full-length, stand-alone string quartet arrangements, I sought the advice of my dear friend, Ari Fisher - a brilliant Los Angelas-based composer and string expert. He sat with me over the phone as we tweaked each detail and enriched harmonies in ways I could only dream about! 

Coincidentally, Ari had recently worked on a version of "Amazing Grace," in which he re-imagined the harmonic structure. Ari insisted that I use his orchestration of "Amazing Grace" with a breath-taking cello solo to end the piece (m. 46) - how could I say no? There is not a single doubt in my mind that the success of this piece stems directly from Ari's help.

Considering Sheeran's fame and accolades we may find his story of being self-conscious ridiculous.  I find it relatable and moving as it is normal to have doubts and pre-conceptions that hold us back from our dreams at any point in our life. We could never have guessed that this arrangement would become an instantaneous favorite with audiences of all ages, and not just with a younger crowd. Within months of its release on Spotify, "Perfect" surpassed 1,000,000 streams. Sheeran's example reminds us that we should always strive to dream big and reach for the stars! We hope you enjoy this arrangement of "Perfect" and that it inspires you in the same way it has inspired us.
