Richard Wagner (arr. Albert Mancini) - Parsifal

This piece was composed using Logic Pro in the fall of 2014.  It is intended to be interpreted in two movements: the first movement is called conspiracy and the second is parade.  The piece uses acoustic instrument samples and digital processing.

Composed, Arranged, and Performed by Eli Ponder-Twardy

Rift/Duet (For Trombone and Tape)

Bass- Josh Lambert
Recording Engineer- Mark Vaughn
Electronics- Christopher Poovey

'only through fractures may light shine' explores the gritty sounds of the double bass through the use of string multiphonics, overpressure, and bowing behind the bridge and tail piece. The electronics in the piece augment the bass’s capabilities further by emphasizing the inharmonic, crunchy, and wispy sounds that are not idiomatic of the bass.  Together, both parts of 'only through fractures' create an experience where sounds are put into new contexts in order to find beauty in what may normally be considered noise.  'only through fractures' was started at the Atlantic Center of the Arts in New Smyrna Beach Florida and I thank the Atlantic Center for the wonderful residency.

From Brett Copeland: 
soul, turn orange-colored is broken up in to five distinct sections that are to be played attacca. The title for this piece comes from Federico Garcia Lorca’s poem Ditty of First Desire. The piece is structured around the different verses in poem and the verses are included in the score as the title of each section.

Ditty of First Desire by Federico Garcia Lorca

In the green morning
I wanted to be a heart.
A heart.
And in the ripe evening
I wanted to be a nightingale.
A nightingale.
(Soul,
turn orange-colored.
Soul,
turn the color of love.)
In the vivid morning
I wanted to be myself.
A heart.
And at the evening's end
I wanted to be my voice.
A nightingale.
Soul,
turn orange-colored.
Soul,
turn the color of love

Jake East, euphonium
Amanda Martin, clarinet
Gloria Yehilevsky, percussion
