Chance Row is a pedagogical work that aims to help piano students and young composers experiment with 12-tone compositions. This short piano piece is very moderate in difficulty and also includes an analysis score so that students can follow along with the structure of the piece. In this work, the initial tone-row is determined entirely randomly (hence the name Chance Row!) and then I work to find and explore a few interesting relationships within the row to make a short work for solo piano.

String Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.998356

Composed by Aaron Fonzi. Children,Contemporary,Rock,Standards. Score and parts. 27 pages. Aaron Fonzi #3367893. Published by Aaron Fonzi (A0.998356).

    This piece tells the epic story of Hades' abduction of his niece, Persephone. According to the legend, Hades came up through a crack in the ground and snatched the girl while she was playing. In the Underworld, he tried to seduce her in a variety of ways, but to no avail. Finally, Hades is said to have tricked her into staying by offering her a tempting pomegranate. As Persephone ate 6 seeds, she was to stay in the Underworld for six months each year. It is said that while Persphone is in the Underworld, the plants wither and die, and when she comes back to the surface she brings rebirth to growing things.

This piece begins with playful pizzicato lines that build upon each other. These represent Persphone at play, but forebodes the dark forces that are encircling her. When the orchestra goes to arco, Persphone is being dragged into the Underworld. A mournful violin solo signifies her arrival, but this mournful theme is quickly replace by the devious seductions of Hades in the form of a humorous waltz. Finally, Hades offers the pomegranate to Persephone and she eats 6 seeds (represented by the six beats of the B major chord in measures 76 and 77). The main theme then takes over once again, modulating to F# minor to represent Hades' victory.

With relentless energy, catchy ostinati and opportunities to work on shifting, pizzicato and arco throughout, this piece will not dissapoint for audiences and students alike.

A FEW NOTES:

1. I'd recommend rehearsing the rhythms of recurring ostinati together- first pizzicato then arco. You may get creative and incorporate scales with these rhythms. However you do it, it'll be important that each ostinato is played with precision and confidence.

2. Have fun with the waltz section! It's meant to portray the strange, whimsical nature of Hades' attempts to woo Persephone, so the awkwardness in delivery is encouraged!

3. All ritardandos should be exaggerated for the sake of drama.

4. Encourage your drumset player to explore different ways of accompanying the orchestra- the drumset part is a blueprint, not definitive instructions.

5. Be sure to practice shifting into 2nd position for the modulation.

I hope you and your students have a great time putting this epic piece together! I had a ton of fun writing it!

SKU: A0.1140977

Composed by Aaron Lee. 20th Century,A Cappella,Contemporary. Octavo. 11 pages. J. Aaron Lee #741226. Published by J. Aaron Lee (A0.1140977).

Based on Christina Rossetti's beautiful poem, Remember, this song is portrays the empathetic words of a loved one who has passed away. With great empathy, the song addresses grief and how the character in this song, though they wish to be remembered, would prefer that their loved ones be happy and smile than grieve over their loss. It is ultimately an attempt to uplift the mourners and comfort them. This work is approx. 6 minutes long and is written for a cappella men's chorus and is somewhat challenging due to chromaticism.
