Ragtime It Is - Concert Piece for Violoncello and Piano

This Concert Piece is a composition for Violoncello and Piano in a style somewhere in between jazz and classical music. It is based on a ragtime like feel, and reharmonized on the basis of jazzy funtional harmonics.

After a short Intro it starts with the ragtime theme, which is further on varied in many ways before it comes to a cantabile part, focussed on a cello melody. The piano accompanies in the style of a jazz ballad.

The cantabile ends with a written solo cadenza for the cello, which leads back to the ragtime theme..

The piece requires at least advanced, if not professional players 

The MP3 audio sample displayes only the essential part of the composition, the whole piece can be heard and seen on the youtube video

The downloadable PDF file contains complete score and both piano and cello parts.

Duration: 06:30 min


Very suitable as a da capo tune for a classical concert

2023. Two-part treble chorus with piano and percussion. 2:45

I found this infectious little item in a book of contemporary poems composed by children selected by Naomi Shihab Nye, creating a ditty of a piece that uses just one repeated rhythm and simple chord progression.  Accompaniment is piano, bongos or conga, and triangle.  There is about 1:20 of music, with a trick/false ending, before it repeats.

A fun middle school piece.

The text is from “It’s Inside of Me!� by Adam Delavan.  Salting the Ocean, 100 Poems by Young Poets. Sung here by Emily McNally via Fiverr.com.

Seeking a premiere as of Nov 15, 2023.  Please get in touch through www.davefroman.com.

Music and song composed by me

                                                        ALL  AS  BEFORE

Tired flower bends

 the head photos in carved marble

sad smell of the past along your tree-lined avenue

how much peace in this place

where you stand hidden

cobwebs on your time and the scent of regret

 while I touch your beautiful face

 I ask myself who decided that your time would stop and that for you all would be over

 I, minstrel of my time, tell a thousand stories

 chronicles written in pencil real-life stories

story now finished my fingers still drive,

 find notes and then the enchantment to disperse them in the wind

there was a king in love, by a bewitched spell,

with the madwoman his queen and everything comes back as before

there tucked away in a corner

 There is a pathetic clown

Look closer: it’s a little girl and everything comes back as before

You clown what would you do?

You want to approach the king and then you want to tell him of her polluted heart

but him, he does not want to be touched and you have to amuse her

smile and do not tire continue your ... dance ...

in the void and silence

suspended in time

 for your queen and everything comes back as before

 before your leap

do you want to fly high

mixed-up Icarus you have fallen into emptiness

the beating of the heart makes too much noise

 rumbles here within into emptiness and silence

no, do not love me,

 now or ever and hang on till the ultimate pain

she'll pressure you and insinuate herself into your mind and end by doing you harm

 but I invisible to your eyes and I want to hug you,

you do not want

I would like to tell you what you do not know of me

and then on swings of fantasy

 my hand close to yours

we'll soar to the heights where she is not there

 if you want I will reinvent myself for you

And I may please you ,I know

but with your eyes you’ve already answered me and hidden I'll go ..

The winter does not end

the cold seems eternal

 here the sun dies ,effaces itself and then disappears

Once upon a time there was or still is, who knows

a minstrel that no longer has a court

and he belongs to nobody, and no one will stop him

while closing the door ,the king will delete him

abracadabra here in my Kingdom

nothing caresses, no kiss of goodby

my name in history was written in pencil

to be able to delete from a faded page

the mind has its woodworm and you can not heal it

past, present and she who reigns everywhere

 pages of your life flowing through my fingers

for a king, tired and sick,

who has not had a happy ending

the spell is broken and now the veil has fallen

regret makes its way into him and the minstrel would approach him

 puppet in love ,now disconnected from your wires

seek your child and there is nothing like before

there is the sunset in your eyes

 but I'm here by your side

 a daddy and his little girl and there is nothing like before .... .....

the be.

And Can It Be That I Should Gain? is a Christian hymn written by Charles Wesley. And Can It Be was written in 1738 to celebrate Wesley's conversion, which he regarded as having taken place on May 21 of that year.

This beautiful hymn has been popular and enduring.

And Can It Be That I Should Gain is perhaps one of the most joyfully poignant hymns penned by Charles Wesley (1707-1788). On Whitsunday (Pentecost), May 21, 1738, three days before his brother John experienced his heart strangely warmed,’ Charles was convalescing in the home of John Bray, a poor mechanic, when he heard a voice saying, In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, arise, and believe, and thou shalt be healed of all thy infirmities. The voice was most likely Mr. Bray’s sister who felt commanded to say these words in a dream.

Anglican hymn writer Timothy Dudley-Smith, notes that the following then happened:

Charles got out of bed and opening his Bible read from the Psalms: He have put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God, followed by the first verse of Isaiah 40, Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. He wrote in his journal, I have found myself at peace with God, and rejoiced in the hope of love Christ (Dudley-Smith, 1987, 1).

The statement from Mr. Bray’s sister sparked within Charles a conviction like he had never felt before. Moved and convicted in spirit, Charles wrestled with these words until he came to rest in his faith, knowing that it is by faith we are saved (Ephesians 2:8).

Soon after this conversion experience, he wrote two hymns in celebration of the amazing love he had come to know: And Can It Be that I Should Gain and Where Shall My Wondering Soul Begin? (United Methodist Hymnal, 342)

There has been some debate as to which hymn was written first, but most current scholarship accepts the latter as the first hymn written by Charles after his conversion experience. No matter its place in the chronology of Wesley's output, And Can It Be has been and remains one of his most remarkable hymns, expressing like no other the rapturous joy of receiving salvation.
