  3. 3D

    Composer: Grant, James
    Instrumentation: Mixed Ensemble Instruments: French Horn, Percussion, Tuba
    Genre: Contemporary

    Horn, Tuba and Percussion

    Jim Grant writes:

    When I received the message from the Moreau VanTuinen Duo (Danielle Moreau, percussion; Danielle VanTuinen, euphonium) and Deanna Swoboda, tuba, that they wanted to collaborate with me on creating a trio for thier instruments, I immediately thought, “Well now, here comes some fun…!” In our initial skype meeting we decided that the new piece would be through-composed, ca. 10 minutes in duration, and would feature a blend of serious, crazy, and lyrical music; that I would fashion a separate version of the new piece to feature French horn in the same role as euphonium; and that we would invite a small group of adventurous colleagues to become co-commissioners of this new composition (see List of Commissioners page).

    The result is 3D, music that touches on three distinct “mood dimensions.” A somber, evocative introduction leads to an explosive, rhythmically-charged, comically crazy joy ride, which yields to a rhapsodic duet between the two horns supported by an undulating moto perpetuo accompaniment in the marimba. That’s the piece, in a nutshell.

    The three Lead Commissioners, Deanna, Danny (VanTuinen), and D (Moreau) could not have been more gracious and helpful during the composing of 3D, answering questions and offering feedback on sketches and ideas. Indeed, their fingerprints are all over this music.

    The title, 3D, takes its name not only from the three distinct musical dimensions this music explores. It also represents a nod of respect to the three Lead Commissioners, whose excitement and support for this project captured my imagination from the very start. To Deanna, Danny and D, and to each of the stalwart participating co-commissioners, I offer my deepest gratitude.

  8. A Walk in the Woods

    Composer: Panza, Michael
    Instrumentation: Duet Instruments: Flute, Tuba
    Genre: Contemporary
    A Walk in the Woods for Flute and Tuba is a Suite in three movements.

    The first movement, ‘Start of the Journey’, is light and filled with excitement and anticipation of the ‘journey’ ahead. The middle of the movement utilizes a familiar theme in celebration of joy for the impending trip.

    The second movement, ‘Exploration in the Phrygian Woods’, uses the Phrygian mode to give the feeling of wonder and suspense of what our two musicians may find. The flute starts with the lead, but the tuba, not to be outdone, quickly takes the melody to have his turn to ‘explore’ the movement. The two join forces to end this movement.

    The final movement, ‘Lost and Found’ begins very dark and slow giving the audience the sense of helplessness. But, the sun shines through and our two musicians find their way out of the woods with a light and playful melody. The movement comes to an end as all are well and at peace once more.

    Please enjoy, ‘A Walk in the Woods’ for Flute and Tuba. Learn More

  11. Angels Carillons

    Composer: Mañas, Adriana Figueroa
    Instrumentation: Duet Instruments: Marimba, Tuba
    Genre: Contemporary

    Tuba and Marimba; Dedicated to my good friend Mark Nelson

    Angels’ Carillons is Nelson’s second commission for a tuba work from this talented composer from Argentina. Dr. Nelson premiered Tango Images for tuba and piano two years ago at a Pima recital and now has the honor and privilege of premiering this new work for tuba and marimba. It is a single movement work featuring some unusual effects such as imitating the wind by blowing air through the tuba and affecting the pitch up and down through changing the mouth aperture. The marimba has several virtuosic passages with four mallet playing while the tuba is featured primarily as a melodic instrument. Hints of tango rhythms and extensive syncopation make the unusual combination of tuba and marimba exotic and exciting.

  12. Angles of Repose

    Composer: Wickman, Ethan
    Instrumentation: Quartet Instruments: Bass Clarinet, Percussion, Piano
    Genre: Contemporary

    with Piano and 2 Percussion

    From composer Ethan Wickman:

    “Angles of Repose draws the inspiration for its title from Wallace Stegner’s novel about an itinerant mining engineer and his family as they struggle to prosper in the American West. In Stegner’s work, the title refers simultaneously to the angle at which granular materials achieve stability on a slope and the forces of fortune and consequence that ultimately shape the lives of its protagonists. I have become increasingly interested in the way that physical forces create analogues for social, emotional, interpersonal and even musical ones. While this piece does not pictorially narrate the physical phenomenon, it aspires to translate the interplay of these forces into musical ones.”

    This work is in three contrasting movements: I. Angle of Displacement, II. Forlorn Angles and III. Angle of Acceleration.

    Instrumentation: Duet Instruments: Clarinet, Narrator
    Genre: Contemporary

    Clarinet and Narrator

    From the composer:

    Animal Antics (2002) is a three-movement work for clarinet and narrator. The poems are taken from two of Shel Silverstein’s books, A Light in the Attic and Where the Sidewalk Ends. These poems are about various animals and are humorous in nature. The narrator may be any voice type and can fashion the words in any dialect they so choose, the sillier the better.

    This work was written and premiered during the composer’s residency with the Escape 2 Create program in Seaside, FL, and is dedicated to Marsha Dowler, President of the Escape 2 Create Executive Board.

  14. Animal Antics III

    Composer: Ardovino, Lori
    Instrumentation: Duet Instruments: Clarinet, Narrator
    Genre: Contemporary

    Clarinet and Narrator

    I. Early Bird from Where the Sidewalk Ends

    II. Fish? from Where the Sidewalk Ends

    III. Little Pig’s Treat from Falling Up

    From the composer:

    This is the last of the Animal Antics pieces. These charming poems are all from Shel Silverstein’s books. Hopefully these little songs will send the message to adults that they need to go to the place that children know; essentially telling adults to take a step back and to take on the point of view of a child to find the life and joy that they have.
