Florida Tableau
Composer: Buss, Howard J.
Instrumentation: Duet Instruments: Clarinet, Piano, Trombone
Genre: ContemporaryClarinet, Trombone and Piano: A picturesque work in 3 movements: The March of Progress, Pastorale, and The Eternal Sea. The energetic first movement features dramatic contrast between lyrical lines in the winds sounding over a hard-driving piano accompaniment, and a development section characterized by staccato melodic fragments being passed among the players. The beautiful second movement, Pastorale, is impressionistic and paints a sonic portrait of rural Florida's vast pasture lands, forests, lakes, and the Everglades. The final movement, The Eternal Sea, begins and ends with turbulent sections, one can easily imagine great waves crashing on the shoreline. The middle part of the movement has a swashbuckling and almost humorous quality about it, suggesting people frolicking at the beach. Florida Tableau was commissioned by the Florida State Music Teachers Association. “A curious musical blend of the old and the new, much like modern Florida itself.

In Darkness
Composer: Vogel, Roger C.
Instrumentation: Mixed Ensemble Instruments: Alto Sax, Piano, Voice
Genre: ContemporaryIn Sophocle’s tragedy Oidipous Tyrannos the protagonist was separated from his parents at birth. He unwittingly fulfilled a prophesy by killing his father in a quarrel and then marrying his mother when he became king of Thebes. In Darkness is a narrative of the events that took place after the incestuous marriage became known.The text for this musical work was translated and adapted by Timothy Gantz. Although the melodic and harmonic language of this composition is modern, it incorporates some of the flavor of the ancient Grecian melody by deriving important motivic material from the ancient Dorian scale as it was sung in the chromatic genus. Recorded on the OASIS CD Love Letters (ORCV4000). This powerful, engaging composition makes a memorable concert feature.

Lines and Trajectories
Composer: Raum, Elizabeth
Instrumentation: Solo and Piano Instruments: Piano, Trumpet in C
Genre: ContemporaryC Trumpet with Piano (mvt. 3 comes with alternate Bb Flugel part)
The idea behind the title, Lines and Trajectories is that each movement begins with an idea, or line, but the trajectory takes it to another place. As in life, when you start out, you never know where your trajectory will take you.
- Prelude and Fuguestarts with a complex, almost belligerent line in unison (Prelude). The parts separate gradually into their own line and while the original theme remains more or less the same, each statement has small “corrections,” bringing the lines more into harmony. Eventually, the lines compliment each other, the rhythm stabilizes and the chordal progressions become harmonious until a theme derived from the original somewhat chaotic line of the opening becomes the first statement of a fugue, perhaps the most organized of musical forms. The whole fugue is made up of themes from the prelude.
- Mystery Garden opens with the solo trumpet over an atmospheric progression of nebulous chords giving a sense of a misty morning in an out of focus garden. As the movement progresses, the piano provides a minimalistic, raindrop-like background to support the solo line which ends unexpectedly as if caught in a gust of wind.
- Song begins with a more consonant line that leads to a tender hearted song in a lilting 9/8 meter that expresses, sincerity, friendship, or even romance.
- Triangles and Tangles starts out as a cheerful waltz but conflicts soon arise where each line of music has its own idea of both key and meter creating a bit of a tangle. The participants become aggressive, struggling against each other, morphing into 4/4, 6/8, or even 5/4, keys slipping into each other trying to dominate, but somehow, never escaping its destiny of being a somewhat lopsided waltz.

Kupala Night
Composer: Raum, Elizabeth
Instrumentation: Solo and Piano Instruments: Piano, Trumpet in C
Genre: ContemporaryC Trumpet with Piano
Kupala Night is an ancient pagan fertility festival that takes place once a year on June 21. The music is meant to conjure the feeling of a the forest at night with young couples carrying out the ancient customs meant to induce fertility and love. Michael Fedyshyn, for whom the concerto was written, has Ukrainian background which inspired the subject of this concerto.
The first movement is the Dance of the Young Men, full of vigor, trying to attract the young women.
The second movement, Floating Wreaths, depicts the girls floating wreaths of candle-lit flowers on the river in hopes that the direction the wreaths take will foretell their future loves. The music opens with three currents from the river, each carrying a group of wreaths. The men try to capture the wreaths to impress the girls. The movement starts with three themes flowing into each other joined by the trumpet representing the young men. The triplet motif of the first movement is repeated in the second. The calm of the initial floating of the wreaths is interrupted by a group of young men showing off to the girls with their dancing.
The third movement is Searching for the Flowering Fern, which flowers only on Kupala Night has the young couples going through the forest seeking the elusive Flowering Fern, which, if they can find it, will bring them good fortune. The movement is mainly written in Lydian mode, with the raised fourth. Many ancient cultures felt the modes had an influence on the mood of the listener with the Lydian mode evoking youth and mystery. Close to the end, when the mist is again rising, themes from previous movements are heard in the muted trumpet, like spirits.
