Description
PROGRAM NOTE
During my time as the Daniel R. Lewis Composer Fellow of The Cleveland Orchestra, the "In Community" Chamber Concert Series was born. This initiative brought together various community organizations from across Cleveland to collaborate artistically with myself and members of the orchestra. Alongside our partners—the H.K. School of Bandura, The Fatima Family Center, and Karamu House—we curated a special series of chamber music concerts. Each program drew inspiration from the unique missions and histories of our collaborating partners.
Despite the diverse interests and backgrounds of both the orchestra and our partners, there is an undeniable commonality: a steadfast commitment to preserving legacy. for the H.K. School of Bandura, it's about preserving the legacy of a cherished instrument, native to Ukraine. The Fatima Family Center is dedicated to honoring the history and people of the Hough neighborhood. At Karamu House, the focus is on celebrating the legacy of black American theatrical artists and writers. And, of course, for The Cleveland Orchestra, it's about upholding its reputation as one of the nation's premier orchestras.
One interpretation of legacy is that it is something passed down from ancestors or predecessors. I took this concept and infused it into the music, creating a recurring musical theme that evolves and develops throughout the work. Very vocal in nature, this legacy theme carries a spirit of ancestral song. Much like legacy in reality, this theme faces interruptions and reinterpretations but remains consistent and recognizable. Just as in life, the continuity of legacy may be challenged, but with dedication and acknowledgment, it can thrive and evolve. As a nod to our musical journey, I paid homage to all collaborators by incorporating various musical styles heard throughout our series, including influences of the bandura, blues, and, of course, virtuosic string playing.

Publishers use a lot of words to describe what they sell, and we know it can be confusing. We've tried to be as clear as possible to make sure you get exactly what you are looking for. Below are descriptions of the terms that we use to describe the various formats that music often comes in.
Choral Score
A score for vocalists that only contains the vocal lines. The instrumental parts are not there for reference. Generally, cheaper than a vocal score and requires multiple copies for purchase.
Facsimile
Reproductions of the original hand-written scores from the composer.
Full Score
For ensemble music, this indicates that the edition contains all parts on a single system (there are not separate parts for each player). In larger ensembles, this is for the conductor.
Hardcover
Hardbound. Generally either linen-covered or half-leather.
Orchestral Parts
Similar to a wind set, this is a collection of parts. In the case of strings, the numbers listed are the number of copies included, though generally these are available individually (often with minimum quantities required).
Paperback
When publishers offer multiple bindings (e.g. hardcover) or study scores, this is the "standard" version. If you're planning to play the music, this is probably what you want.
Performance / Playing Score
A score of the music containing all parts on one system, intended for players to share. There are not separate parts for each player.
Set of Parts
For ensemble music, this indicates that there are separate individual parts for each player.
Solo Part with Piano Reduction
For solo pieces with orchestra, this is a version that contains a piano reduction of the orchestra parts. For piano pieces, two copies are typically needed for performance.
Study Score
A small (think choral size) copy of the complete score meant for studying, and not playing. They make great add-ons when learning concertos and small chamber works.
Vocal Score
A score prepared for vocalists that includes the piano/organ part or a reduction of the instrumental parts.
Wind Set
For orchestral music, this is a collection of wind and percussion parts. The specific quantities of each instrument are notated.
With Audio
In addition to the printed music, the edition contains recordings of the pieces. This may be an included CD, or access to files on the internet.
With / Without Fingering (Markings)
Some publishers prepare two copies - a pure Urtext edition that includes no fingering (or bowing) suggestions and a lightly edited version that includes a minimal number of editorial markings.
