Brian Balmages: Loudoun Praises

This riveting new celebration pulls out all the stops, including dynamic brass fanfares, woodwind flourishes, and an exciting multimetered melody with a dancelike quality. The piece explores an ever-changing palette of colors and eventually has the original melody and multimetered sections collide in a dramatic conclusion. Exactly the kind of music you?ve come to expect from Brian Balmages! (6:00)

Colors of Time : Les couleurs du temps

Gazing into life is like gazing at the colours of passing time. Sometimes cool and mysterious, sometimes opalescent, warm or luminous, the colours of time, like life itself, are ever-changing. When colour materialises, it becomes music. With delicate and powerful moods, brilliant and intimate textures, and joyful and nostalgic sounds, music seeps into our memory like stories drawn from many individual real-life experiences.

Brian Balmages: Sound Prisms

This exciting, new fanfare combines traditional, triadic harmonies with splashes of mild and harsh dissonance, especially in the woodwind voices, in a driving 6/8 panorama of sound. The patterns and phrases are heard echoing throughout the full ensemble in an avalanche of changing timbres. The piece builds to a powerful and memorable conclusion. Premiered at the CBDNA Southern Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, 2002.

Golden Pass

The Golden Pass is a rail line in the Swiss Alps that connects Montreux, located by Lake Geneva, to Lucerne, in central Switzerland. This composition echoes the thoughts and feelings of a passenger who watches the changing landscapes he observes on this journey: green meadows full of grazing cows and traditional chalets, beautiful mountain lakes, waterfalls and mountain tops, including the scenic Brüning Pass. Is this real or just a dream? We may never know!

For The Next Thousand

Perhaps a strange characteristic, but mankind has always had a fear of changing centuries and millennia. The end of the world and all kind of natural catastrophes has been forecasted, but have never come to pass. In For The Next Thousand composer Otto Schwarz tries to be more positive. In this piece he makes a toast to the new age, in which wind music too has to find a new way of staying attractive. The piece has elements of film music and has a slow-rock middle section, with a sax solo. With this piece, Schwarz hopes to make a contribution to the renewals necessary within the wind band scene.

Brian Balmages: Escapades

Premiered at the 2005 Michigan Music Educaotrs Conference, Escapades was commissioned by the Grand Valley State University Symphonic Wind Ensemble under the baton of Barry D. Martin, with Arthur Campbell as clarinet soloist. Since the premiere, it has been scheduled for additional performances in the United States and abroad. The piece gets its inspiration from the title, which can be defined as "a usually adventurous action that runs counter to approved or conventional conduct." This piece is a series of changing "escapades" (or variations) which develop and explore different aspects of the opening thematic material. The entire work builds into a free improvisational section before all elements of are united in the final presto of the composition (10:00)

Festivus Americas

Dedicated to the North American Brass Band Association, this is music that is full of energy and dynamic extremes. In form it draws from the overture style, although the themes are self-existing and the piece is programmatic. Working well asa festival opener, it sets a mood of excitement. Following the rhythmic fanfares of the opening, the first theme is presented in the cornets followed by a return to the same rhythmic material. A second theme appears in the horn section and isdeveloped, changing into a darker and sinister form of the same motif. Eventually a Maestoso section is reached, full of sustained block chords in the cornets and trombones, as the rest of the band counters with cascading lines that weavestraight through the brighter instruments.

Three Blind Mice

This composition is based on the children’s song ‘Three Blind Mice’, of which the melody is featured in a range of variations: in a canon, in inversion, in minor, transformed, with changing harmonisations and orchestrations, andin different times and tempi. The work consists of three continuous, contrasting movements: 1) Mouse March: The mice cheerfully set off while the original melody is presented as a march. - 2) Hymn: In a tuneful hymn,the wonderful praises of the life of mice are sung. - 3) Catch Me If You Can: In an animated chase, the farmer’s wife is trying to catch the mice. Following a stirring acceleration, she cuts off their tails in accordancewith the lyrics of the song. I hope this work, with its humorous touch, will be a welcome contribution to the expansion of interesting repertoire for the lower divisions. - Bert Appermont

DUT34 Tenor Electro Ukulele Mahogany

Larger in scale length and body, the tenor ukulele possesses a real versatility when played. Sporting up to 19 frets, a tenor can employ an increased range of play that some guitarists would otherwise miss when migrating to the Ukulele. The tenor fretboard is a real playground for chord inversions and other tricks. Indeed, tenors with their increased volume and sustain are often the choice of Hawaiian soloists and other notable players. Thanks to its warm sound, low maintenance, and flawless intonation, the DUT34 is the perfect instrument for a beginner and seasoned players alike. We believe that when you buy your first uke, it should serve you well for the first few years of learning at least and beyond. In 2019 we have completely redesigned this model, changing the headstock and bridge shape, as well identifying choice woods to build this attractive and fantastic sounding ukulele.

Alice Etudes

Gergely Vajda (born 1973) is one of the most talented Hungarian composers of the mid-generation. He is an exceptionally versatile musician, being at the same time a clarinetist, a conductor, and a composer. He composed Alice Études, a 30-minute long composition in 7 movements, for the Farallon Quintet (California). Each movement is inspired by a quotation from the books by Lewis Carroll entitled Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass. Vajda was particularly preoccupied with the time-related aspects of the stories: for instance, experiencing time in slow motion while falling downwards really quickly, or living in time backwards and remembering it forwards. Inaddition, he was also inspired by playful elements like the possible combinations of changing seats around a circular table. All of the movements deal with one, two or at most three musical ideas which makes the composition a collection of étude-like pieces. Three movements are dedicated to classical-contemporary composers whose music is also heavily influenced by Lewis Carroll's books: György Ligeti, David del Tredici, and Unsuk Chin.

IK Multimedia iRig Blueboard

Bluetooth MIDI pedalboard iRig BlueBoard is the first wireless MIDI pedalboard for iOS and Mac that allows you to control your music apps and more from the floor. Now control parameters of your favorite MIDI-compatible apps like AmpliTube wirelessly with ease. Switch between presets, change patches, turn effects on and off and control effects like volume and wah without worrying about tripping over wires. Setup is as simple as turning iRig BlueBoard on and telling it what you want to control. iRig BlueBoard features four backlit soft-touch pads housed in a sturdy, stage-worthy chassis. Two TRS expansion jacks for connecting additional MIDI controllers like expression pedals. And it's powered by four standard AAA batteries.   Take control So how does iRig BlueBoard work? It connects to your iPhone/iPod touch/iPad or Mac via Bluetooth, and when you press its foot switches, it sends out control signals that are converted to MIDI by the iRig BlueBoard app. iRig BlueBoard's latest firmware supports Apple's Bluetooth LE MIDI for iOS and OS X (read more about the firmware update here). Apple's Bluetooth LE MIDI protocol transforms all MIDI data transmitted over Bluetooth into core MIDI data for simple, plug-and-play use with any MIDI over Bluetooth compatible app on both iOS 8 and above and OS X Yosemite and above. At this point the MIDI messages are available to any iOS apps which allow MIDI over Bluetooth devices to be connected or any MIDI compatible software on your Mac. iRig BlueBoard can be used in different modes to send different kinds of MIDI control information. The first mode allows iRig BlueBoard's 4 buttons to be used to send MIDI note on/off information to apps like SampleTank or iGrand Piano. The second mode works similarly, except that it sends MIDI CC on/off information, which is perfect for triggering apps like AmpliTube, allowing users to stomp their favorite effects on and off just like a physical stompbox. In addition to these apps, iRig BlueBoard can also be used with many popular third party apps and software, like Apple's GarageBand. iRig BlueBoard works seamlessly with AmpliTube. To use them together, all you need to do is find your iRig BlueBoard device in AmpliTube's integrated BlueBoard section and you'll be ready to go. You get a PRESET mode (to browse presets), a DIRECT FX mode (to control single parameters, like switches and knobs) and a new "Global Controls" feature that lets toggle the tuner, switch banks and presets, control the recorder and a whole lot more. Pair iRig BlueBoard with the latest version of AmpliTube and get full control — all without using your hands.   Control from 10 meters away iRig BlueBoard communicates via Bluetooth technology so you can place it up to 10 meters (32.8 feet) away from your device and still maintain full control of your apps. The low-profile iRig BlueBoard is only 9.1” (23cm) wide, and it runs on 4 - AAA batteries.   Light up the night iRig Blueboard has 4 backlit control pads housed in a sturdy stage-worthy chassis. Each pad has an additional LED that lights when the pad is active, letting you know exactly which control is on. And since it’s backlit, you can easily see it on a dark stage or performance venue for quick and accurate access.   No limits iRig BlueBoard also features two expansion TRS jacks so you can add more expression to your performance. Plug your continuous MIDI controller like wah or volume style pedals into these expansion jacks to add even more control and performance versatility.   Designed by and for musicians Guitar, bass and keyboard players and singers will now be able to play and control their preferred iOS apps on stage or in studio, with the same degree of performance control offered by traditional music hardware and the freedom of not being tethered by cables. Plus iRig BlueBoard is small enough to fit in a laptop bag. iRig BlueBoard companion apps for other computer and mobile platforms will also be available the near future.   Features Bluetooth MIDI pedalboard (10m/32.8' range) 4 backlit assignable foot switches 2 1/4" inputs for assignable expression pedals or switches Can send MIDI Program Changes and MIDI Control Changes Direct integration with AmpliTube BlueBoard iOS app runs in background on mobile device or Mac, and translates Bluetooth messages to MIDI Runs on standard AAA batteries Small enough to fit in a laptop bag What’s New New Firmware update supports Apple's Bluetooth LE MIDI feature   Requirements iOS Devices Compatible with iPhone X, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone SE, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, iPhone 4s, iPod touch 6th generation, iPod touch 5th generation, iPad Pro, iPad mini 4, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3, iPad Air, iPad mini 2, iPad 4th generation, iPad mini, iPad 3rd generation. iOS 6.1 or later is ...

Bach To The Future, Kopi

Per Nørgård BACH TO THE FUTUREFor many years I have been specially fascinated by three of the preludes of Bach?s Well-tempered Piano, and I wish with this concerto-version for percussion-duo and orchestra to "highlight" some of the structural aspects of these pieces: It is my belief that there is a tradition in the music history, that makes it possible to let certain germs in an earlier period unfold into new, but not heterogenious, dimensions of a perhaps several hundred years later phase of the tradition.This concerto is a result of several years collaboration with Uffe Savery and Morten Friis ("Safri-Duo"), as well in original compositions - (Resonances, Repercussion, Resumé in EchoZone I-III) as in arrangements of the 3 Bach preludes, preparing for the enormous stylistic challenges of this work.A few introductory comments to each movement:I Movement: The archetypal sequence of broken chords within C-major has established itself as almost a cultural code, allowing the composer of 1996 to tell his tale-in-tones only by stressing and colouring the tones in the original piece without changing the pitches or (relative) durations as a ?palimpsest? containing as well the old as the new musical tale simultaneously. Later in the movement, this singleline is multiplied by the, till then discrete, but permanently pervading, proportion - throughout the piece - very close to the ?Golden Section?(= 3:5:8.t.i:8 before repetition, 5 before starting anew from the deepest tone, 3 as the rest etc. unchanged). The 3 tonal levels as well as the 3 relative speeds are treated according to these proportions for certain passages, but even in those the main focal point is directed at the freely invented melody (by me) incarnating itself solely by the unpermutad sequels of the original prelude.II Movement: One feature of the F sharp-prelude pervades all the six minutes-long second movement: A 4 times identical rhythmic pattern = 6:4:3:2:3:4:6 - as an hourglass-shaped timeshape - inspired me by the closeness of this pattern to a shape within the infinity-drumming of my invention, called Wide-Fan and Narrow-Fan , referring to pattern consisting of 8:4:2:1:2:4:8, the familiarity with the above - quoted one being obvious. New and old elaborations of this pattern-pair permeates the movement, especially since the Safri-Duo by their performance of my Repercussion had augmented my appetite for including this idiom in a wider context:III Movement: Without the existence of the d-minor-prelude I doubt that I would have dared to write a work like this, since it is the inexhaustible, rare quality and pecularity of this piece, which has stimulated my feeling of wonder and ?modernity? (or: eternity!) of this piece, of which I know of no equal in its special respect: the perpetual ambiguity of melodic foothold in the rhythmic ostinato of a broken descending triad, continuously lending one of its 3 possible positions in time to simple, melodic gestalt vaguely capturing, more or less (ir)resistible, the listener?s attention.By this threefold Hommage a J.S.B. I wish to close up in the rank of composers who already presented offerings to their great predecessor, himself being the unsurpassable offerer.Per Nørgård 4/2 97
