Maja S. K. Ratkje 's Tale Of Lead And Frozen Light for String Orchestra. Full score. Based on the String Quartet Tale of Lead and Light (2011). The original String Quartet was written in the aftermath of the events in Oslo and Utoya July, 2011.

Roads To Ixtlan Stemmer, Kopi

All roads lead to Rome, as the saying goes - but do all roads also lead to Ixtlan, perhaps at another time? Ixtlan being the city of the highest aspirations of the Mexican sorcerer, Don Genaro (according to Carlos Casteneda, the anthropologist publishing a series of books on Don Juan, Don Genaro's col-league). There was no final outcome to Genaro's journey, and there will never be one. I will never reach Ixtlan, he said, so Genaro is still on his way there.(Ixtlan may perhaps be interpreted as the inner goal of your heart).In any case: in these three movements the three points of departure are utterly different; still they unanimously move towards just one melodic outcome, a kind of musical centre of gravitation.

PRELUDES TO DISASTER

Dreamsville

What a neat idea to turn this Henry Mancini classic into a medium samba groove! Your lead trombonist receives some well-deserved feature time and is joined briefly by the entire bone section. The ensemble “shout”chorus begins with an ingenious unison line played softly to start, before turning things back over to the trombone solo. Nicely done!

Strut your stuff with this New Orleans flavored swinger. This tune is great to show off your drummer, lead tenor, and piano player. However, the solo section can be opened up to showcase more of your talented performers. Includes a great sax soli as well as a very exciting shout chorus.

Tanganova

Leave it to Michael Mossman to combine two unique Latin styles (tango and bossa nova) into a single composition! The saxes take the lead on the sultry tango theme punctuated by the brass, then a trumpet soloist takes over when thebossa style kicks in. This is ingenious writing that really works!
