Published by Imagine Music - Digital (IZ.VMF222V). 9 x 12 inches.Easter Morn functions best in a worship setting during the Easter season. However, it has been used, on occasion, in a concert setting as well. Within liturgy or other worship settings, it is best used as a reflection piece: an affirmation song following the proclamation of the Gospel, or as a thanksgiving piece following the communion rite. While a full SATB choir, with piano, flute, percussion, and brass can yield splendid results, Easter Morn is easily adaptable for use during a simple outdoor sunrise service using guitar and vocals, or with light instrumentation. The tenor of the piece is festive and joyful, yet, somewhat subdued. Fear and confusion initially gripped the women disciples who discovered the tomb empty and first heard the angel's question, “why do you seek the living among the dead? It was not until later when the words of Jesus regarding his resurrection sunk in: “just as he said, JUST AS HE SAID, that their joy overflowed in a chorus of alleluias! Navigating this tension, and capturing this dynamic is key to an effective performance of the piece.

Then by an unexpected stroke of luck, I stumbled across this one in a choral book, and was transported back to high school to the first time I had heard it: it was the first time I ever heard one of my best friends sing. Then, as now, I was moved by the lyrics and the easy folk tune melody, and in that instant, I knew. This was the one. From there, the vocal parts seemed to write themselves. I contributed vocals of my own in order to heighten the impact of the cluster chords and to further enhance the song's themes. I hope the music provides as much joy as it did for me writing it and singing it.

Published by Imagine Music - Digital (IZ.CMW181). 9 x 12 in inches.This suite is in fact a piano trio in miniature and in scope it closely resembles 'Petite Suite pour Violin, Violoncello et Piano,' by LouisAdolphe Coerne. The whole composition last for approximately nine minuets.The three movements are entitled, Dawning, Courting, and Wedding; each evoking unique images yet the three are connected as a whole. Despite this being a piano trio, the second movement is a love duet between violin and violoncello in which the piano does not participate. Another aberrant characteristic is that the piano, with few exceptions, plays asupportive role for the two string instruments.

The lemons, as they shimmered in the rain, inspired a haiku that is found at the beginning of this movement:The lemon tree waits-rain falls on outstretched branches-How the lemons shine!The description of the opening tempo for Morning Coffee of cheerful and caffeinated allows the oboe to stretch and wake up with a little help from coffee, while the movement Daisies sings of the beauty of my favorite flowers, the gerbera daisies often in a vase on my table. This work was first recorded and released on my CD Songs of California: Music for Winds and Piano. I. Morning CoffeeII. The Lemon TreeIII. That MockingbirdIV. Daisies.

Published by Imagine Music - Digital (IZ.PDP286). 9 x 12 in inches.Dr. Hartley composed Reeds at Play in March 1998, setting it for the unusual combination of three oboes and English Hom. The work is written as one continuous movement with three sections distinguished by tempo, meter, and rhythmic activity. At my request Dr. Hartley has authorized an alternate bassoon part as a substitute for the English Hom-not that the higher instrument is all that rare, but merely because I want to be able to play the piece, and I imagine many of my tenor-clef colleagues will as well. Reeds at Play is dedicated to Dr. Sarah Hamilton, Professor of Oboe at the State University of New York at Fredonia.

The songs in the collection are approximately one minute in length and are in keys and meters commonly found in most instrumental methods. The ranges of the songs seldom go above one octave. There are fourteen songs in the collection sequenced by level of difficulty. There is great variety within the collection as each of the songs as its own unique character. For each song, there is a solo score and a solo/piano-accompaniment score. As an aid, the collection includes a CD with two tracks: one with only the solo part, one with only the accompaniment part. Although the accompaniments sound musically sophisticated, they were designed to be playable by the younger pianist. In the event that no pianist is available, the soloist could use the CD as his or her accompaniment. [CD available from the publisher.] March Petite: Goin Baroque: Spanish Dance:.

Published by Imagine Music - Digital (IZ.OMW072). 9 x 12 in inches.By Keith Dippre. Each of the three movements deals with symbols, specifically those that have autobiographical significance to the composer. The first movement, Klee on Loan, pays homage to the famous abstract expressionist painter. The gestures are traditional and all easily identifiable, from the sweeping Mahleresque beginning to the Bartok meets The Rolling Stones motifs found at mid movement. These are the composer's attempts to represent Klee's crosses and arrows through some familiar and abstract sound. Klee's genius, I believe, is found in his ability to make very generic symbols very abstract. The second movement, Roadside Memorial, is a musical journey that goes the route of a dangerous and ominous highway replete with roadside crosses and flowers. Present are the sounds of radio static and the motorist's attempts to find an interesting station in the midst of a punishing blizzard, all the while praying to make the trek safely home. Ikonoklastic is the third and least serious movement of the three, sporting a playful and somewhat schizophrenic waltz. There are childlike melodies set against more serious romantic style gestures. The blending of the serious with the less serious at times combines to create contrapuntal moments. The final movement is the most sublime of the four, and it is solely based upon a loping, adieu-like gesture. The line is continually recycling itself, and the piano takes the role of psychopomp as it escorts the movement to its out of body conclusion.

Whether it was the movie house pianist, in the case of silent films, or the composer of a full score, the musician could, cleverly, portray characters with their individual themes, or leit motifs. The development of the theater organ came about to provide music and sound effects for the first three decades of the 20th Century. The tradition of iconic music themes carried well into radio, television, and in more modern times, video games.Growing up in New York City, I was able to view more than my fair-share of both movie house westerns, as well as TV shows. Saturday mornings were filled with Lone Ranger, Cisco Kid, and Hopalong Cassidy episodes with their own themes. The bad guy had his theme, as well as the good guy. You cheered, or you booed to the one you connected with. Big screen westerns almost always had their theme songs, and almost always sung by Frankie Laine.Western Legends is an homage to the radio, television, and film composers whose scores will always be etched on my mind.
