Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1089367 Composed by Robert A. Howard. 21st Century,Classical,Contemporary,Folk,Instructional. Score. 4 pages. Robert A. Howard #693565. Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.1089367). This is the third in a set of three piano miniatures, which, as part of the compositional process, originally derived melodic material by setting lines from Shakespeare's Sonnets to music. This piece is essentially a set of textural variations on a folk-like theme, the tune appearing a fourth higher each time. The work employs simple variation techniques that are in-keeping with the folk genre, such as drones, modality, and parallel harmonies. Towards the end, a descending sequence leads to a final variation on the theme in the opening key, in rhythmic augmentation. The piece is highly accessible and is appropriate for most standards of pianist, including students and more advanced players. Other works from the Sonnet cycle, including the complete set, are also available via Sheet Music Plus.

Cello Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.998867 Composed by Robert A. Howard. 20th Century,Contemporary,Standards. Individual part. 5 pages. Robert A. Howard #6348459. Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.998867). Monody is a fast tempo study for solo cello which explores the development of a single line (there is no double stopping). The work centres around E minor, and states the main motif at the outset (E, G, F#). This is then extended and transformed throughout the course of the piece. An initial introductory motivic passage is followed by a scalic section that features another core concept of the work; that of the octatonic scale (alternating semitones and tones, or vice versa). Then comes the main extended scherzo-like section, itself in a ternary structure, that exploits permutations of the opening motif and the octatonic scale, across the entire range of the cello. The work builds towards a climax, including in extreme high pitch and loud dynamics. After a silence, there follows a very quiet and mysterious muted coda, which briefly recounts the main motivic ideas of the piece, before ending on the only pizzicato note of the work. The piece is accessible and is appropriate for high standard cellists, including advanced and professional players.Duration: 4 minutes 20 seconds.Registered with PRS (Performing Rights Society, UK).Composer's website: www.roberthowardmusic.co.uk.

Bassoon,Piano - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1401689 Composed by Robert A. Howard. 21st Century,Chamber,Contemporary,Contest,Festival,Instructional. Score and part. 10 pages. Robert A. Howard #984859. Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.1401689). 'Invocation and Dance' begins with an introductory summons call from the bassoon (with piano chords), outlining the irregular metre feature of the whole work. Then follows the main dance section, in ternary form. Its main A section material centres around C (which returns with variation towards the end), and consists of a jaunty 7/8 bassoon theme, accompanied by unsettled piano harmonies. The contrasting central B section, in the dominant key, continues to explore irregular metre with 'hiccups' in the rhythm, as piano 'oom cha' chords support a bassoon melody based mainly on fourths. The opening invocation call recurs in slight variation at the end to bring the work full circle. Note: the score provided also serves as the piano part.Duration: 5 minutes.Registered with PRS (Performing Rights Society, UK).Composer's website: www.roberthowardmusic.co.uk

Piano Trio - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.998838 Composed by Robert A. Howard. 20th Century,Contemporary,Standards. 17 pages. Robert A. Howard #6139329. Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.998838). This piano trio is a single 9-minute movement. The title, Trinity, refers to various uses of the number 3 within the piece. This includes 3 instruments, 3 main sections, the rhythmic interplay of the dotted crotchet pulse (of 3 quavers) in the prevailing 12/8 time signature (with hemiolas), and the use of 3 (and its multiples) in the creation of core material. The work creates memorable motifs which are used in various other melodic and harmonic permutations, as well as in cycles of layered texturing. Trinity's overall structure actually refers to a palindromic form, as earlier sections return towards the end, truncated and in reverse order, thus bringing the piece full circle. The religious symbolism implied in the title may be said to have influenced some rather 'mystical' and 'otherworldly' harmonies and textures. The piece is highly accessible and is appropriate for higher standard musicians, including students and the more advanced. Duration: 8 minute 55 seconds.Registered with PRS (Performing Rights Society, UK).Composer's website: www.roberthowardmusic.co.uk.
