Composed by Franz Schubert. Arranged by F. Griffin. Closer. Romantic Period. Score and parts. 117 pages. Gryphon Music Australia #2853443. Published by Gryphon Music Australia (A0.787451).

Franz Schubert's Erlkönig (Erl King) is one of the most terrifying pieces of music to come out of the early 19th Century. It is a song with piano set to a poem by Goethe, depicting a father's desperate ride through the night with his dying son. The son is being taunted by the utterly malevolent Erl King, but the father cannot hear this and tries in vain to keep his son calm. The son's distress increases as the Erl King comes closer and closer, finally claiming the son's life before the father can get him to safety.

In this unabridged arrangement the characters of the narrator, father, son and Erl King are delineated by a different combination of instruments for each. The relentless galloping of the horse is maintained throughout. This is an exciting work that any band at intermediate level will enjoy, as will the audience!

Composed by Margaret Woodley. Contemporary. 6 pages. Margaret Woodley #3033771. Published by Margaret Woodley (A0.991626).

My setting of the old English poem Epitaph upon a young married couple dead and buried together by Richard Crashaw (1613? - 1649).
TO these whom death again did wed 
This grave 's the second marriage-bed. 
For though the hand of Fate could force 
'Twixt soul and body a divorce, 
It could not sever man and wife,         
Because they both lived but one life. 
Peace, good reader, do not weep; 
Peace, the lovers are asleep. 
They, sweet turtles, folded lie 
In the last knot that love could tie. 
Let them sleep, let them sleep on, 
Till the stormy night be gone, 
And the eternal morrow dawn; 
Then the curtains will be drawn, 
And they wake into a light 
Whose day shall never die in night.

2017 Holiday Contest Entry

THEATER

 

If you want to transform your reality

If you want another life

The theater is here

Choose the character

What will you interpret

Follow your script

 and you will not be wrong

 

A blue curtain

The lights are down

And music begins

An ox eye

That will turn on

The scene lights up

 

Offstage, me

Look out for my turn

my legs tremble

Increase the beat

 

People in the audience

Silent is

And thet expects to live

The story you will tell theyr

And everything is possible

 

I grab the moment

I commit myself to the utmost

There is rhythm, there is energy

There is grief, there is joy

 

Here everything is fake but there is truth

And fate here, nothing can

Because history already has its plot and its ending

We will incarnate here

Vices and virtues

In the comedy you will lose

You will breathe with us

The magic that's here tonight

Live in this atmosphere

Trash and a bit surreal

It will involve you

 

With its cardboard trees, canvas palaces

Paper skies, foam lakes

Tears drawn on blood red cheeks

Imperfect moons and sunshine that does not shine

 

It's all a theater this my life

I play more roles

In prose or poetry

We are all actors

In this reality

Browse your script

It will surprise you

 

Finished the show

I bow for you

Applause and music

A moment and I already find my self

The usual Monica

I feel a bit  Pierrot

Between joy and tears

But it went well and then tomorrow replies

 

Live  more lives  for  never die

Sweet illusion that will cull me

And it  will accompany me

Even out of this scene

If I recite  good ,you will know

Unsuspecting sides of me

I'll be nice

O arrogant and bad

A witch or a diva

Heroes of a time gone

Who will I ever be?

 

and how Pirandello wrote

I’m  none and one hundred thousand

I interpret myself

And it's never good the first

I'm not convincing in my dirty clothes

And I change the script bugs

Of my days a little shaken

Absurd Theater

It turns into a silent film

And crying out loud

In this desolate stage

 

If you are looking for an identity

An interruption of reality

Write your script or improver

Get on that stage and you'll be what you want ....

 

                                                                          Monica Bergo
