Commissioned by and is dedicated to trombonist Haim Avitsur. Throughout the work, the trombone is placed into a variety of different musical contexts—sometimes with bleakness and sometimes with warmth. The work begins with the tubular bells alone, presenting the principal musical material of the work. The strings enter with a suspended tapestry, through which the trombone plays its opening melodies. In this section, the trombone has a cantorial role—singing and interacting with the orchestra. These opening musical ideas are developed as the trumpet, horn, and clarinet join the trombone in soloistic roles. A signal gesture on the trumpet is heard once, interrupting the tapestry. When the signal is heard again, the music accelerates into the second section. The second section is fast and bell-like as the trombone sings excited lines through ringing masses of sound. Whirring figurations emerge in the winds and are picked up by the strings. The section
grows wilder until it climaxes in hammer chords. From this, the trumpet, bells, and trombone emerge—maintaining and propelling the energy of the
section. Gradually, the energy is released, leading into the third section. The third section is chorale-like, combining again suspended sounds in the strings with harmonic motion in the winds in brass. The trombone again plays a cantorial role. A build up of energy occurs at the end of this section, leading into the fourth and final section—the cadenza. The trombone bursts into the cadenza, not with a forceful shout, but with a whisper. The work winds down to its conclusion—without a loss of speed or energy, but rather by the increase of silence. Instrumentation: 2111/1100/timp/1perc/soloTbn/strings The score by itself is available as another item. The parts are on rental from the publisher.

Flying Machine (2008) for orchestra was commissioned by the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra in
celebration of two anniversaries: the orchestra’s 200th season and James Yannatos’s 45th anniversary
as conductor. The work is dedicated to James Yannatos in celebration of his 80th birthday and his
years of distinguished activity as conductor, composer, and mentor.
The music is joyous in spirit, inspired by a sense of discovery and fulfillment—the exhilaration that
comes from knowledge well-used. The poetic image is taken from the age of the invention of flight.
The piece’s opening section is “workshop/construction� music—filled with a sense of unfolding,
building, and assembly. The musical material is presented in a series of overlapping guises; the rest
of the work unfolds from these ideas. As the music gathers energy, the barn door is finally opened,
and the behemoth is rolled out. After a pregnant pause, the music of flight begins—soaring and
energetic.

Miacomet Dreaming (2008) for orchestra is dedicated to Loretta Yoder and Kyle Latshaw. The title refers to Miacomet, a region of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. This work is one of a variety of pieces deeply connected to the landscape of Nantucket. The inspiration for the work was an oil painting, Path to Miacomet (2006), by Loretta Yoder; its fervency of color and landscape provided the poetic image that drives the work. The music itself was worked out during a the early hours of darkness on the actual beach of Miacomet. As the sun set, and darkness covered the landscape, only the passionate sound of the surf remained. The music is fervent and searching in tone. It begins with a roar before quieting down to introduce its basic musical material-a simple lament-like theme in a folkinflected style. This material is used for further explorations, building to passionate climaxes. Finally, the opening music returns, but this time it is whispered. The movement winds down to a distant and reposed conclusion.

Flute Concerto (2006) was commissioned by flutist Judith von Hopf and the
Kiev Philharmonic and premiered by them under the direction of Guido
Lamell. The work is in two movements: Chanson and Fantasy Variations.
The first movement, Chanson, is an extended “song� that develops through a
variety of textures. The opening song material is centered around G#. In turn,
this G# is revealed to be a quasi-dominant of a D centered sonority. (A brief
coda returns to G#, in preparation for the D center of the second movement.)
The second movement, Fantasy Variations, is cast as two presentations of
the theme surrounding five free variations, plus a coda. The theme serves as
the basis of the musical material for each variation as well as the structural
template for each. Also, each variation contains material referring back
specifically to the previous variation.
The opening theme is declamatory and massive. The first variation is fast
and limber. The second variation is introspective and stratified. The third
variation is fleeting. The fourth variation is distant and spare. The fifth
variation is fast and driving. The final theme begins whispered and slowly
regains its declamatory nature before a brief and intense coda ends the work
in a blaze.

Pittsburgh Concerto (2005) was written for the Carnegie Mellon Philharmonic and is
dedicated to Amy Stabenow, concert manager at Carnegie Mellon’s School of Music. The
piece was conceived as a tribute to the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
The work contains only two specific “programmatically inspired� images related to
Pittsburgh. They form the outer two sections of the work. The inner four sections are
inspired more abstractly by various aspects of the city, its landscapes, and its people; they
feature a series of solos and duets for many members of the orchestra – in the manner of a
“concerto for orchestra.�
The opening of the work is inspired by Pittsburgh’s history as America’s steel capital.
Colors and sounds of the clangorous industrial age of America’s past are evoked. The basic
musical material (a six-note cell) for the entire work is presented in this aggressive
introduction. Throughout the rest of the work, this basic material is developed in ways that
range from lushly romantic to aggressively athletic.
The following section is marked “slow, lush� and features a duet first between trumpet and
tuba, over warm harmonies in the orchestra. A brief duet for vibraphone and marimba leads
to an extended viola solo.
The next section is fast and energetic. It begins with an athletic duet for English horn and
bass trombone, followed by a ringing duet of tubular bells and crotales. The final solo is for
violin, as the orchestral texture disintegrates around it.
The next section, marked “slow, mystical�, begins with a duet between piano and bass
clarinet. A passionate horn duo follows before a passage for solo bass leads directly into the
next section.
This section is fragmentary and halting. An unpitched duo of bass drum and flexatone
begins, leading to an aggressive and abortive duet between solo flute and bassoon. Finally,
an extended cello solo closes the section.
The final part of the work is inspired by my first visit to Pittsburgh. When driving in from
Pittsburgh airport (which is far outside the city), the city itself is “hidden� from the road by
hills. Upon reaching the hills, one enters the Fort Pitt tunnel and, after a few moments,
emerges from it on a suspension bridge over the Monongahela River. Late at night, this was
a truly breathtaking moment as the city and its rivers emerged suddenly in a mass of glittering
lights. The ecstatic rush of the lighted city at night is portrayed in this section – amidst
fragments from the opening, recalling the industrial past, now transformed into something
new.

Orbital (2003) for orchestra was commissioned by New Music Tomorrow and is dedicated to
composer Georges Lentz.

The work is a brief meditation, played throughout at a slow tempo and a generally quiet
dynamic level. After an atmospheric introductory section which hints at the principal
material, the work slowly traverses a grid of pitches and intervallic structures -- each
instrumental group orbiting at its own pace. The musical material is derived from a colored
whole-tone scale (in its prime form: C, D, E, F#, G#, A#, B).

The poetic image was one of a distant planet, slowly orbiting -- amid the vast expansive void
of outer space. It is a mystical and prayerful piece -- as if we are watching this orbit amidst
the great expanse while contemplating existential questions.

Instrumentation

By Michael Jackson. By Don Black and Walter Scharf. Arranged by Kevin Riley. 20th Century,Film/TV,Pop. Score and parts. 30 pages. Kevin Riley #150799. Published by Kevin Riley (A0.540665).

Ben is a song written by Don Black and Walter Scharf for the 1972 film of the same name (a spin-off to the 1971 killer rat film Willard). It was performed by Lee Montgomery in the film and by Michael Jackson over the closing credits. Jackson's single, recorded for the Motown label in 1972, spent one week at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, making it Jackson's first number one single in the US as a solo artist.[1] Billboard ranked it as the number 20 song for 1972. It also reached number 1 on the ARIA Charts, spending eight weeks at the top spot. The song also later reached a peak of number 7 on the UK Singles Chart. In 2004, the song appeared in The Ultimate Collection. Ben won a Golden Globe for Best Song. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1973, losing to The Morning After by Maureen McGovern from The Poseidon Adventure. Jackson lip-synced to the song at the Oscars ceremony, possibly as his vocal range had shifted since its recording.
