Passionate Isolation by David Hahn - Three Movements for mandolin & guitar
  

The title "Passionate Isolation" comes from the prose-poem No More Secondhand God by R. Buckminster Fuller. Written in solitude during a period of international turmoil at the beginning of World War II, Fuller's text attracted me as a mirror of our own troubled world in 2004. To the many isolated individuals in our world, it can appear that, as human beings, we are locked into a fate of a continuous cycle of abuses of power leading to armed conflict. Consequently, I saw the movements of this piece as: 1) the Ritual of impotent international deliberations, 2) the Misgivings of the World's population in the face of impending war, and 3) the inevitable March of the military machine.

Tamar  by Nicole Chamberlain 
for Piccolo, 2 C Flutes, and Alto Flute

 

As a composition for piccolo, two C flutes, and alto flute Tamar is influenced by the music of Georgia, a style that's steeped in history and culture. As a modern piece the work plays on the broad flexibility and palette of articulation at the flute’s disposal through extended techniques, such as pizzicato and beat boxing. Techniques that allow flutists to take on characteristics of the string and percussion families, transforming them into diverse and different stylistic sounds. 

Clear Note Continues to expand its digital catalog. Among the newest releases is the first installment of a great theory classic.

from the preface

"In opposition to the still popular impression that such books as these are written only for the use of composers, and that only those who intend or hope to become composers ever need to study harmony, the author avers his belief that none of the many branches of musical discipline is so indispensable as that which treats of the Science of music; and he therefore wishes to be understood as having prepared this treatise more particularly for the musician in general, than for the very small minority of composing musicians."
