Concert Band - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1455063 Composed by Joseph Hasper. 21st Century,Classical,Contemporary,Contest,Festival. 26 pages. Joseph Hasper #1034135. Published by Joseph Hasper (A0.1455063). Twelve short movements for wind ensemble by Joseph Hasper composed in 2024. Program notes: Tik, Tik, Tik, Tik, Tik, Tik the rich tapestry of harmonic possibilities across all twelve keys. Each movement is a concise musical vignette, delving into the unique character and mood of its respective key while reflecting a post-modern approach that embraces eclecticism, irony, and an intertextual dialogue with past musical traditions. This work is deeply influenced by the innovative spirit of Leonard Bernstein and Charles Ives, two iconic American composers who challenged conventional musical boundaries. Bernstein's ability to seamlessly blend diverse musical genres, from classical to jazz, resonates in the stylistic pluralism of this piece. Each movement offers a distinct musical landscape, reminiscent of Bernstein's kaleidoscopic score for West Side Story, where classical and contemporary idioms collide and coalesce into a vibrant sonic tapestry. Echoes of Charles Ives can be heard in the fragmented, juxtaposed themes and the adventurous harmonic language that defies traditional expectations. Like Ives' Three Places in New England, this composition revels in the collision of disparate musical elements, creating a rich tapestry that reflects the complexity and plurality of the modern musical landscape. Ives’ technique of layering different melodies and harmonies simultaneously is reflected in several movements where multiple key centers overlap, creating a soundscape that is at once disorienting and captivating. Tik, Tik, Tik, Tik, Tik, Tik invites listeners to experience a post-modern journey through sound, where each movement stands as an independent piece, yet contributes to a greater whole. The brevity of each segment—each capturing a distinct emotional and harmonic essence—echoes the concept of musical snapshots, offering a fleeting yet profound exploration of the vast possibilities within the twelve keys. This work is not merely a cycle through the keys, but a commentary on the diversity and potential of musical expression in the post-modern era.
