Leitura / Reading  3. Vagar / Slowly  4. Apoteose / ApotheosisPremière: 29-IV-2011. CCF Auditorium, Bandung (Indonesia). Int.: Eya Grimonia.Even the simplest things need a solid internal structure that supports their discourse and transcends it. This work was a birthday present to an 11-year-old girl who was born on the 11th of the month 11, and is built on her onomastic numbers [4, 5, 5] which generate the harmonic and melodic basis together with those of the composer [9, 7], those of her mother [6, 5, 7] and those of her brother [5, 5, 5]. Thus, the first movement, “Dawn�, is structured in 11 sections (it is a gift from the age of 11) of 4+5+5 bars. “Reading� has 9 sections of 4 bars and the melodic-harmonic sequence is formed by the complex [4, 5, 6, 7, 9], so we all find ourselves involved in the reading plot. The third movement, “Slowly�, in 5/4, a reference to the names of the girl and her brother, has 3 sections of 5+5+5 bars; the brother’s turning round endlessly while the girl thinks about the turns that the world takes. The final “Apotheosis�, in the rhythm of 9+7 eighths, has two parts: in the first one there are 3 sections of 6+5+7 (the mother) opening the way to the 3 sections of the second part which represent the effervescence in the dawn of life (4+5+5).The most beautiful expression of mathematics, the language of the most intimate emotions, the essence of our own existence is in the music.--oOo--Até mesmo as coisas mais simples precisam duma sólida estrutura interna que sustente o seu discurso e o transcenda.Esta obra foi prenda de anos a uma menina de 11 anos que nasceu no dia 11 do mês 11, e está construída sobre os seus números onomásticos [4, 5, 5] que geram a base harmónica e melódica em conjunto com os do compositor [9, 7], os da sua mãe [6, 5, 7] e os do seu irmão [5, 5, 5]. Assim, o primeiro andamento, “Alvorejar�, está estruturado em 11 secções (é prenda dos 11 anos) de 4+5+5 compassos. “Leitura� tem 9 secções de 4 compassos e a sequência melódico-harmónica está conformada pelo complexo [4, 5, 6, 7, 9], assim, todos nos vemos envolvidos na trama leitora. O terceiro andamento, “Vagar�, em 5/4, referência aos nomes da menina e do seu irmão, tem 3 secções de 5+5+5 compassos; os do irmão a dar voltas sem fim enquanto a menina pensa nas voltas que dá o mundo. A “Apoteose� final, no ritmo de 9+7 oitavos, tem duas partes: na primeira há 3 secções de 6+5+7 (a mãe) abrindo o caminho às 3 secções da segunda parte que representam a efervescência na alva da vida (4+5+5).A expressão mais formosa da matemática, a linguagem das emoções mais íntimas, a essência da nossa própria existência está na música.ISWC: T-045.522.028-6ISMN: 979-0-707704-14-1.

Violin Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1018936 Composed by Benjamin Harry Sajo. 20th Century,Contemporary. 5 pages. Benjamin Sajo #6072977. Published by Benjamin Sajo (A0.1018936). Fugue: Wear Pearls and Smile is, on the outset, a fast, rambunctious adventure for many voices playing at the same time. It was conceived as a pairing for the equally vivacious second symphony of Ludwig van Beethoven–his 250th birthday is this year–but can stand on its own as one of my hardest, most challenging works to cook up.This piece is dedicated to those forced to appear positive when internally they’re falling apart. The title is inspired by a quote that’s been with me for a while, Why is it that men can be bastards and women must wear pearls and smile? by Lynn Hecht Schafren, the celebrated American jurist famous for campaigning for gender equity in courts. I’m taking the quote out of its initial context, but the power of that quote, for me, exemplifies how hard it is to maintain a sense of emotional decorum and dignity when you’re authentically a hot mess. And what’s more of a musical hot mess than a fugue?There are two realities to this piece. I’ll quote Dmitri Shostakovich, from his autobiography: The rejoicing is forced, created under threat, […] It’s as if someone were beating you with a stick and saying, ‘Your business is rejoicing, your business is rejoicing,’ and you rise, shaky, and go marching off, muttering ‘Our business is rejoicing, our business is rejoicing.’ On the one hand, it is insincere happiness, cloying perhaps. But the other truth, I’ll quote Oscar Hammerstein II, from The King and I: While shivering in my shoes / I strike a careless pose / And whistle a happy tune / And no one ever knows, / I'm afraid. I forced myself, against all impulses of my current being, to forge happiness. This piece, with its origin being a mental puzzle (fugues are puzzles), it became a construct where I could lift myself up and regain a sense of purpose. Therefore, it is invented–out of a literal need to survive–pure, genuine happiness.Future Performances: If you are interested in performing this work, please e-mail me.ABOUT THE COMPOSER: Benjamin Sajo (b. 1988) is a Canadian composer of contemporary classical music, as well as an educator. Since developing a fiercely independent creative voice upon the completion of his studies at Western (2010) and McGill Universities (2013), he continues to find inspiration from the intersection of mythology, art, and nature upon the contemporary human experience. In 2019, he released his premiere album of original music, The Great War Sextet: Canadian War Poetry with Trombone & Strings , with support from the Ontario Arts Council. He is a member of SOCAN and the League of Canadian Composers.

Violin Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.798120 Composed by Heitor Villa Lobos. Arranged by Inacio Saldanha. Contemporary. 3 pages. Inacio Saldanha #6318935. Published by Inacio Saldanha (A0.798120). Villa-Lobos composed Chôros No. 1 in Rio de Janeiro in 1920, originally publishing it under the title Chôro típico, then Chôro típico brasileiro. The title is taken from an improvisational genre of Brazilian instrumental popular music that originated in Rio de Janeiro in the nineteenth century. The Portuguese word choro, means cry or lament, though most music of this type is far from being sorrowful. Four years after composing this work, at the time of his first visit to Paris, he decided to make it part of an extended cycle of works collectively titled Chôros, which eventually included fourteen numbered compositions, plus an Introduction aux chôros (Introdução aos chôros): Ouverture, for guitar and orchestra, designed to be played before a complete performance of the cycle, and Chôros bis, a two-movement duo for violin and cello, considered as a sort of encore piece. A Quintet (em forma de chôros), for five woodwind instruments (1928) is sometimes considered as related.In the context of the larger cycle, Chôros No. 1 is like the essence, the embryo, the psychological model that will be developed technically in the conception of all the Chôros (Villa-Lobos 1972, 210).The score of Chôros No. 1 is dedicated to Ernesto Nazareth, and a recording of it made by the composer lasts just under four minutes. Unlike the successor works, there is no attempt here to synthesize different aspects of Brazilian music into a stylistic montage. Instead, it employs the patterns, figurations, and simple structure characteristic of the improvised music of such celebrated chorões of the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as Zequinha de Abreu, Quincas Laranjeiras [pt], Chiquinha Gonzaga, and Catulo da Paixão Cearense [pt] (Wright 1992, 62) This simplicity and the beauty of its composition have made it a favourite with professional guitarists (Appleby 2002, 80).Originally for Guitar, adapted for Solo Violin by Inacio Saldanha. Key of E minor. Advanced.
