Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1026725 Composed by Jesse Holan. 20th Century,Concert,Contemporary. Score. 3 pages. Jesse Holan Enterprises #6359527. Published by Jesse Holan Enterprises (A0.1026725). The Island is the sister vignette another piano piece I wrote, Fives, now focusing on color as a design principle instead of rhythm. Since sound is heard from 20 to 20k Hz and light is perceived from about 375 to 750 THz, there is a huge speed difference between the two kinds of waves, but overall, waves are waves. My synesthetic view of reality allows me to see pictures and colors when I hear tones. To me, C is White, Db is Orange, D is Yellow, Eb is Seafoam, E is Green, F is Brown, Gb is Red, G is Grey, Ab is Violet, A is Pink, Bb is Gold, and B is Blue. There is some logical flow to my chromatic rainbow, but admittedly it’s a little interpretive. It’s just what I see! Associating colors with notes is a personalized thing; two of my friends both have perfect pitch yet each perceive unique chromatic schemes in their minds for tones, which also differ from mine. This project shows how I use my mental color wheel to musically paint a stormy island sunset.

Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.763275 Composed by Nigel Williams. Concert,Instructional,Standards. Score. 3 pages. Nigel Williams #3571025. Published by Nigel Williams (A0.763275). Reverie is inspired by the sunset on the glistening waters at Maungatapu, in Tauranga, NZ. ('Maungatapu' means sacred mountain). The gentle quarter note movement in both r.h. and l.h. signifies the weakening sun's rays dancing on the clear water. This tranquil and expressive piano music is ideal for early to intermediate level High School pianists and is two and a half minutes in duration. Tempo and Pedal indications have been added to the score, (the digital sound file doesn't fully capture the desired tempo changes). In this style of music pianists should feel free to interpret the tempo changes generously!

This solo piano arrangement captures that perfect relaxing moment.

Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quintet - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.836708 Composed by Brian Joyce. 20th Century,Contemporary. 24 pages. Brian Joyce #3022299. Published by Brian Joyce (A0.836708). Full disclosure: This work is frankly atonal. Rhythms are tricky. Harmonies are unconventional to say the least. And even the form is nicely aberrant.Yet something magical happens when writing for winds: because of the weak timbre contact between the different instruments, one can write complex textures without losing clarity. One can write dissonant harmonies without having them sound harsh and grating. In fact, there are moments of surprising beauty here. Take for instance the color canons, passages combining all instruments in clusters whose harmonic and rhythmic motion is essentially static, but which shimmer with ever-changing timbres. The title translates - inexactly - to Keeper of Heaven, or Starry Watchman, or Celestial Caretaker, and refers to an imaginary character whose task it is to walk about the heavens at sunset and turn on the stars. He is the galactic equivalent of the old gentlemen who once went about Victorian streets, lighting the gas lamps and generally keeping an eye on things, making sure that all is well. I do not claim that this character is God the Father Almighty, only that he is an old gentleman. But there might very well be something wizard-ish about him!Performance time is approximately seven and a half minutes. The audio excerpt included here is of the last two minutes, where the music comes the closest to being tonal.

Appreciating the orange sunset sky while vacationing somewhere warm and serene, away from the stresses of life, gives one time and space to reflect on the beauty of nature and the importance of love. The nearby singing of a local folk song accompanied by simple guitar strums is the perfect soundtrack for such a precious moment.
