Premiere performance by Dr. Robert Benton and the University of Nebraska at Kearney wind ensemble conducted by Dr. Duane Bierman at the 2024 Great Plains Regional Tuba Euphonium Conference at the University of Nebraska at Kearney.

Migration Concerto for Euphonium and Wind Ensemble was commissioned by Dr. Robert Benton for the 2024 Great Plains Regional Tuba Euphonium Conference at the University of Kearney, Nebraska, and was further supported by the Nebraska Arts Council, the Audubon Rowe Sanctuary, and the Great Plains Regional Tuba Euphonium Conference. The work is directly
inspired by the annual Springtime great migration of Sandhill Cranes on the Platte River in Kearny. The Migration Euphonium Concerto consists of three movements that musically convey this
massive event through the lens of both an onlooker and a Sandhill Crane: I. Arrival, II. Sistere (still), and III. Flight.

Sistere (still) is what I consider the heart of the Concerto. The Latin word sistere means “to stop” and “to cease moving”. This movement represents the Sandhill Cranes huddled together, roosting on the Platte River. An optimistic percussion introduction rings for ten seconds before an ethereal vibraphone-led progression leads into the solo euphonium melody. The soloist and ensemble build in intensity until a subito piano brings the music back into the initial dream-like chorale. There is another swell of intensity and a subito pianissimo before the music blossoms into a sweeping and passionate restatement of the original material, this time in a new key. The movement ends with a subdued, hopeful iteration of the chorale progression.

Cet EP piano, intitulé Amalgame, est directement issu de mon exposition éponyme, Amalgame, par Mélanie Ertaud. Chaque morceau de cette playlist a été spécialement composé pour accompagner mes œuvres visuelles, créant ainsi un dialogue profond entre la musique et la peinture. À travers ces compositions, je vise à offrir une expérience synesthésique, où le visuel et l'audio s'entrelacent et se renforcent mutuellement. Chaque note, chaque mélodie, est une extension de mes coups de pinceau, ajoutant une dimension sonore qui vient sublimer mes tableaux. Plongez dans mon univers artistique, où émotions et sensations se mêlent pour éveiller une perception enrichie de l'art.

A musical improvisation whilst thinking of a house I once glimpsed some 40 or so years ago which possessed the essential elements of the cover artwork. I have never set foot in the house, or seen it since, but it returns to me often when I sit and play❤️ॐ
