2017 Holiday Contest Entry

The alchemist

Flames in the dark sparkle

voice whispering echoes

They say about you

Sell useless dreams

they say about me that I’m too much frail

You are shutting down the day of this city

the lights switch on of different realities

and time dilates , begins another life

It is tacit ritual of a sad tribes

You firefly who shine

can you tell me where he is?

I seek the alchemist , you see yourself

from my eyes rimmed

on the nothing  wide open

they are full of fears and resemble your

And here it is your circus , you wait me already

not much has changed from a lifetime ago

you do not, you are not aged

a Peter Pan sick , who deduct his sins in the lives of others

clown you always have so many , acrobats tired

poised always between dream and reality

and as a cat, I also see in the dark

and over the waste to me slowly and then die

the crises, then anxiety , that imperfect woman

I do not stand me  anymore

I who have never been a daughter , your promise of another family

and this need for love, that torture and kill me

While you brush my long hair , from your hands give off crystals

bright lights exploding inside

as if by magic now I belong to you

snakes tattooed lean on your hips

 we float in the sea of time

how does I exist? always or yesterday

I do not remember but only mysteries

You adult  man and I young girl

abracadabra, as all before

I tired and old and you still a child

us travelers in a bogus time

and while I explore the emptiness I have inside

Nothing is sweeter than this torment

You prepare the potion , the right proportion , the antidote and poison

but you put more passion , My animal instinct

and add a little 'of gall for those who have hurt me

Mix all right , only you know what to do

you seals good my heart , can not serve me

evil plots to good , with fumes and vapors , ampoules almost full ,please ... let me drink ...

But you can not , and I stay here , prisoner of your invisible world

We like vampires , breath broken by sighs , arms forward, off eyes

alchemist turn off my complaints

You like a zombie , ready to sink your teeth ,that fascinates me and scares

alchemist dissolve my torments ..

but you can not .. and I stay here

I'm looking for the courage to live

 

It is being born on the day of this city

Milano  colored yourself with its activities

shorten the shadows , the sun shines and a veil hiding now all his vices

and my pace is tired , my face a bit 'more haggard  ,emptiness inside me and where are you?

I run always and do not know where I go

I look back , I stumble and then I fall

Slow walk among the tired souls

alive but in a state of apparent death

rips in the soul and on my clothes

I have no tattoos, scars only

and as the salt do  on the wounds

I burn at the memory of bad choices

Iron bars are closed . echoes of voices  deafen

They say about you that you no longer have a tear

they say about me that I’m free woman ...

OF SHADOWS ON THE STARS, BY KURT M. MEHLENBACHER
FOR SOLO PIANO, EARLY ADVANCED, 14 PAGES

Of shadows on the stars finds its name within the famed poem Sure On This Shining Night by James Agee. The poem receives a great deal of discussion on its meaning, contemplating if the words are hopeful, mourning, rife with humility, or a statement of resignation.

My take on the poem is that it is of deep hope and contemplation, declaring that the world is held in the warm embrace of summer and that life if being kind. Most strikingly, though, is the last line of shadows on the stars, forming the crux of the text. It is the moment when the words change perspective from the stars casting shadows on the earth to the earth casting its shadows on the stars.

Regardless of what that may mean exactly, its elegance caught me, and its inherent imagery helped guide the formation of this piece. Unlike Lauridsen or Barber–neither of whom I am claiming to bear resemblance–this work actually has no text, and is driven more from the diction and isolated events present in the text rather than an interpretation of the poem as a whole.

By Christopher Alexander. By Christopher Alexander and Safirah Ladore. A Cappella,Contest,Festival,Multicultural,World. 24 pages. Christopher Alexander #1085666. Published by Christopher Alexander (A0.1510472).

This is the first movement from the extended choral work Rising from the Ashes: Stories of Lahaina.

Depicting the devastation and horror incurred in the Maui wildfires of August 2023, the choir and drums establish a powerful and unrelenting rhythmic drive without slowing down.  The text of the melody gets further illustrated with texture painting (wind blowing) and chord clusters (sirens), culminating in the cacophony of all these sounds along with a small ensemble from the choir making shouts and shrieks. As the music fades away, so does the hope of the Lahaina residents as their homeland is burned away forever.

Full score and other movements (Forever Anew, Finding Strength in Shadows, Kama'aina) also available for purchase.

SKU: A0.1378479

Composed by Donald Ashwander. Classical,Ragtime. Score. 9 pages. The Donald Ashwander Estate #963100. Published by The Donald Ashwander Estate (A0.1378479).

Donald Ashwander's solo piano composition, The Garden at Night, is a hauntingly beautiful waltz that conjures images of moonlit gardens, where shadows dance among the flowers and the air is filled with a sense of mystery. The composition invites the listener to become a wanderer in this nocturnal oasis, where each note is a step into the unknown and every pause is filled with anticipation.

The pianist is invited to explore the depths of emotion that lie within the composition, embracing the shadows and nuances that give The Garden at Night its distinctive character. The beauty of the piece lies not only in its melodic grace but also in the subtle tension that underlies its enchanting surface.

At times, The Garden at Night pays homage to the romantic spirit of Frederic Chopin's compositions. Ashwander skillfully incorporates elements reminiscent of Chopin's waltzes, creating moments of yearning that echo the emotional landscapes of the great Romantic era. This nod to Chopin adds a layer of classical elegance to the piece, bridging the gap between the past and the present.

Despite the shadows was composed at the request of Susan Narucki, who was curating the February 2014 concert of UCSD's Palimpsest Ensemble. The piece was written as a companion piece for Luigi Dallapiccola's Piccola musica notturna. It is a meditation on working through the grief of infertility.

The piece is structured using a single chord, gradually built note by note in the opening section, and slowly transforming and transposing throughout the piece as the voicing expands.
