Craig Cerrig-gleisiad is an ancient glacial basin, replete with rugged, steep walls, scree slopes, and a delicate mossy area beneath the cliff face. It seemed to me that the lone violinist in front of the orchestra was not unlike a lone traveler standing before the massiveness of such a rock formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs I worked, a stronger idea took shape: that of the way in which such ice-age cirques seem to possess the sky within the amphitheater of rocks. The image is sometimes one of brightness and fragility as sunlight is captured and reflected within the curve of the rock face; at other times, the image is one of mystery and great sadness, as low, dense mists curl downwards over the uppermost rim and earth merges with sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere, The Cliffs is in one movement. The soloist enters beneath the high, bright sounds of the opening and leads into a light, fast, vivace. The central adagio is developed from the falling mist idea. When the vivace returns it is transformed at its conclusion by the powerful re-emergence of the mists. – HT\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42709653618767,"sku":"9780193861220","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/fe19b56dbef4449490e0c557e0f1cfb7.jpg?v=1749599719"},{"product_id":"tann-in-the-first-spinning-place-oup","title":"Tann: In The First Spinning Place","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hillary-tann\"\u003eHillary Tann (1947-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Score\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eOrchestra, Alto Saxophone\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: In the First, Spinning Place (1999)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-barcode\"\u003e9780193863057\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e8.1\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e13.0\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 97\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42712634622031,"sku":"9780193863057","price":75.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/a8508a284a9773a22431d252f80802f3.jpg?v=1752419611"},{"product_id":"tann-adirondack-light-oup","title":"Tann: Adirondack Light","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hillary-tann\"\u003eHillary Tann (1947-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Score\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eChamber Orchestra, Narrator\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: Adirondack Light (1992)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork Language\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-language\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-barcode\"\u003e9780193859227\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e8.9\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e12.0\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 99\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.2.2.2-2.2.0.0-timp.perc-str and narrator\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece is in one continuous movement subdivided into several parts.

Each of the large sections is transformed at its climax, somewhat in the manner of the Japanese jo-ha-kyu aesthetic. The first climax dissolves into a lighter interlude (danza), while the second retrieves a previous woodwind-dominated solo line and presents it, ardente e cantabile, with all the warmth of the strings before echoes of the meditative opening return to close the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn writing From Afar the composer's intent was not to transpose Japanese sonorities directly onto the orchestra, rather her concern was to contrast meditative time (as in the opening) with narrative time (as in the danza) and propulsive time (as in the energico sections).

The piece was premiered on 22 April 1990 by the Schenectady Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Charles Schneider. The commissioning body had asked for a piece, approximately ten minutes long, which featured the brass. I was already at work on the fanfare- like figures of the opening and closing sections when news came, first of the incredible, then of the terrible events in Tiananmen Square of June 1989. The freedom of mind which I had been celebrating in the opening of the piece seemed called into question and this questioning is reflected in the darker inner sections of the piece. When I first received this commission, I did not set out to write any kind of \"documentary.\" in fact, the earliest \"field\" was from a poem by Robert Duncan (the first in his 1960 collection called The Opening of the Field, which begins \"Often I am permitted to return to a meadow \/ as if it were a scene made-up by my mind, \/ that is not mine, but is a made place, ... \"). However, I think it was inevitable that the piece became caught up in that unbelievable year which ultimately led to the breaking down of the Berlin Wall. It is for this reason, with deep respect, the piece is subtitled \"in memoriam Tiananmen Square (June 1989).\" – HT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Pic, 222 4331, Timp, 3 Perc, Strings\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42716507308111,"sku":"9780193858534","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/e0f3e3791b34d7f09ad73ad1ffcc5a15.jpg?v=1749483542"},{"product_id":"tann-winter-sun-summer-rain-oup","title":"Tann: Winter Sun, Summer Rain","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hillary-tann\"\u003eHillary Tann (1947-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Score\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eCello, Clarinet, Flute, Viola, Celesta\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: Winter Sun, Summer Rain\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-barcode\"\u003e9780193858497\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e9.5\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e13.0\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 34\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eThree interlinked descriptive movements.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42716541976655,"sku":"9780193858497","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/804c9672d1da6afda32ff0b5bbc439e6.jpg?v=1750009998"},{"product_id":"tann-with-the-heather-and-small-birds-oup","title":"Tann: With the Heather and Small Birds","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hillary-tann\"\u003eHillary Tann (1947-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Score\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eChamber Orchestra\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: With the Heather and Small Birds (1994)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-barcode\"\u003e9780193859593\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e9.5\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e13.0\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 72\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith the Heather and Small Birds\u003c\/em\u003e, a celebratory overture for chamber orchestra, takes its title from a translation of a poem by Welsh Bard, John Ceiriog Hughes (1833-1897) -- in Welsh, \"efo'r grug a'r adar man\" from Nant y Mynydd. The last stanza reads \"Son of the mountain am I\/ Far from home making my song\/ But my heart is in the mountain\/ with the heather and small birds.\" for the composer, the image is of the high plateau of central Wales, within walking distance of the coal-mining valley of her childhood. It is a place of freedom, ancientness, and song (songs of the valley, and song of the skylark). – HT\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 fl (+picc), 2 ob, 2 cl, 2 bn, 2 hn, 2 tpt, timp, perc, str\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42716545810511,"sku":"9780193859593","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/b95806e0a21ae966b661ed577d6f789c.jpg?v=1749483544"},{"product_id":"tann-waters-edge-version-for-string-orchestra-oup","title":"Tann: Water's Edge (Version for String Orchestra)","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hillary-tann\"\u003eHillary Tann (1947-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Full Score\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation (this edition)\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"edition-instrumentation\"\u003eString Orchestra\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eOriginally for\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003ePiano 4-Hands\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: Water's Edge (1993)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-barcode\"\u003e9780193859784\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-width\"\u003e8.9\u003c\/span\u003e x \u003cspan class=\"book-length\"\u003e12.0\u003c\/span\u003e inches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 37\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42812166799439,"sku":"9780193859784","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/83a869602c061be4fcea198d8705cdc1.jpg?v=1752091581"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/collections\/Tann.png?v=1657308109","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/collections\/hillary-tann.oembed","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
