This piece is about knowledge ('erkenntis') - an urge for, a struggle for, but also a resistance to this knowledge.Premiere performance by Christiania Blseensemble conducted by Trond Korsgrd, at the Norwegian Academy of Music, November Friday the13th, 2015.To the conductor:There are three important parameters in play: order - disorder, agreement - disagreement, and clarity - confusion. This applies to both the horizontal and vertical level. The polyphony is characterized bylines that often develop in spite of the other voices. Dynamics, articulation, accentuation and timbre are essential elements. Indeterminacy is used a few places and explained in the score.

£53.95Ave Maria - Sergei Rachmaninov
This moving piece embodies all the simplicity of Russian Orthodox music, yet displays the sweeping beauty of Rachmaninov's lyricism. Conductors will appreciate the opportunity to teach extended phrases and legato style. Vespers is the sunset evening prayer of the Orthodox Church, and during the canonical hours of an all-night vigil, the Ave Maria would be sung at midnight, hence the 12 chime notes at the apex of the piece. For a special effect, the mallet parts can be doubled off-stage to simulate church bells. (2:40)

David Lean's epic film Lawrence of Arabia was nominated for ten Academy Awards and won seven, including Best Original Score for Maurice Jarre's masterful musical depiction of the exotic world through which T.H. Lawrence passed. Alfred Reed's setting of the music for concert band, available here for the first time in full score with newly edited parts, is built on two of the main themes: the Arabian motif, with its blazing color and almost-barbaric effects; and the Lawrence theme, a haunting, poignant melody that reflects both his love of the desert and his internal, psychological conflicts.
