#twitterlieder: 15 tweets in 3 actsmusic by

James Eakin III

words by

Charles Anthony Silvestrifor Soloists, Chorus, and Instrumental Ensemble or Piano

“#twitterlieder” chronicles life from birth to old age. It is comprised of 15 tweets, with no more than 140 characters in each. This work is in in three acts: Act I (Youth), Act II (Middle Age), and Act III (Old Age). At the conclusion of each act, an unaccompanied “Greek Chorus” comments on the previous life events and contains the only tweets in the work that rhyme. The very essence of tweeting is brevity, and this is reflected in the duration of each movement; a vignette in a life unfolding. The total duration of the complete work is approximately 25 minutes. However, if a shorter version is desired, the work may be approached in modular manner. For example, a conductor may choose to perform only one of the acts, only two or three from each act, only the unaccompa-nied choruses, etc. Whichever path you choose, I truly hope you enjoy performing this work. —James Eakin

Included are commissioned works from Harvard University (The Somerville Service), Bos-ton University (Aaronic Benediction), and from Montreal’s famed Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul (Psalm 67).

For the Lamb Will Be Their ShepherdFrank FerkoSATB unaccompaniedThis work was commissioned to be performed as a companion piece to Bach’s Cantata 112 (based on Psalm 23). Based on Renaissance motet models, this motet begins with the entire text sung to an originally composed chant melody which then becomes the basis for the rest of the work.

Triptych for HarpsichordFrank FerkoTriptych for Harpsichord was composed in the spring of 2000 for harpsichordist Tatiana Zenaish-vili. Ms. Zenaishvili gave the world premiere of the work in a concert in Rachmaninov Hall in Moscow, Russia on January 25, 2001. She subsequently performed the American premiere at a concert in Lutkin Hall in Evanston, Illinois on April 17, 2001. Triptych for Harpsichord employs formal concepts which were commonly used in harpsichord works of the 17th and 18th centuries—toccata, varia-tions and fugue—but no attempt was made to simulate a baroque musical style. The theme upon which the second movement is based is an old, Russian folk song. The variations have maintained the tonal style of the original melody. The fugue subject used in the third movement is based on a theme introduced in the toccata movement.

Prelude and FughettaStanley M. HoffmanC Flute or Alto Flute and Organ“[…]this piece deals with a friendly tug-of-war between dia-tonic and chromatic music. The theme one hears in both the Prelude and the Fughetta is based on letters from the name of the flute player who commissioned this work, Peter Sheridan. The Fughetta is far from strict in terms of fugal rules […] more of an imitative fantasia than anything else.” —Stanley M. Hoffman

Arirang VariationsStanley M. HoffmanDuet for Two Flutes of the same kindFirst scored for piano and composed for the 2008 Sejong Music Composition Competition, Hoffman presents a set of variations for piano based on a traditional Korean theme. As performers move among the variations, they will experience music influ-enced by the styles of Chopin, Piazzolla, and Beethoven. The set of variations comes to a close with a repeat of the opening arpeg-giated passage.

Caprice VariationsGeorge Rochberg / Christina Jennings The arranger’s transcription includes 20 of the original 51 ca-prices. She chose to include those best suited to the flute while representing the enormous stylistic range of Rochberg’s entire set. Her goal for the transcriptions was to use the flute to its full-est capacity, challenging the player with dynamic, technical and stylistic extremes: the range of these variations goes from a B1 to an E4 and from pppp to ffz! She made minimal breathing and metronome suggestions, adding these only when they seemed most important. In George Rochberg’s Afterword to the Performer, he permits omitting some of the repeats and variations to suit the length and artistic discretion of the performer. However, he advocates for balance in preserving “the stylistic spread which is a fundamental premise of this work.”

FLUTE

BRASSConficturaAlistair ColemanBrass Quintet or Brass EnsembleThe title of the piece is the Latin word for “imagination.” Opening with a live-ly fanfare, syncopated rhythms drive the first section toward a reflective middle section. Explorations of the melody, counter-melody, and jazz-in-fluenced harmonies are distributed among the various instru-ments. An accelerando then launches the return of the opening material and builds toward a coda of vigorous rhythmic fanfares and resolute melody.

Sojourn 1Clare ShoreTrombone SoloA single-movement work commis-sioned by trombonist Monique Buz-zarte who requested that, rather than employing a plethora of extended techniques as is so often the case in works for solo instrument, this piece would sing. Sojourn 1 is loosely based on the traditional spiritual “Some-times I Feel Like a Motherless Child.”

DivertimentoDavid Ashley WhiteViolin and ViolaThis brilliant duo for violin and viola is a virtuosic work for pro-fessional players. It displays dazzling string techniques, jazzy rhythms, and rich textures. The expressive reflections on the early 19th-century American hymn tune BOURBON is the real heart of the piece. This piece is quintessentially American, and it is a mar-velous addition to the literature.
