When writing for someone, I feel a connection to their home and what we share together. Unfortunately, the South Pacific and Nevada were both locations chosen by the U.S. Government to conduct nuclear testing. Between 1946 and the early 1990's close to 1000 nuclear tests were conducted at the two sites combined. The indigenous people of both areas were affected by contamination causing increases in cancer, birth defects, and respiratory illnesses. The Proving Grounds is not meant as a piece of sorrow, but rather one with lots of color and a dream of what could have been.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Les Productions d'OZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45970896715855,"sku":"DZ4565","price":16.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/e8dadc4c855d69a22ddc93bb2c7e82fa.jpg?v=1782418197"},{"product_id":"au-chasing-dragons-orphee","title":"Au: Chasing Dragons","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/darin-au\"\u003eDarin Au\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Score \u0026amp; Set of Parts - \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/pages\/format-descriptions\"\u003eFormat guide\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eGuitar Ensemble\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/au-chasing-dragons-2000\"\u003eChasing Dragons (2000)\u003c\/a\u003e (6 guitars)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-barcode\"\u003e680160694372\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 46\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\u003eReleased in honor of its 25th anniversary, this is CHASING DRAGONS as the composer originally conceived it. An enthusiastically embraced staple of the guitar ensemble repertoire in its familiar four-part scoring, Hawaiian composer Darin Au first wrote CHASING DRAGONS for guitar sextet, and reduced the number of parts after the 2000 premiere, making the piece accessible to more ensembles. Whether playing it for the first time or the fiftieth, guitarists will love to experience the beauty, invention, and excitement of CHASING DRAGONS in its original expression for guitar sextet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Editions Orphée","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45970905366607,"sku":"494-03291","price":42.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/e0a1a4bb81399f74a73aec86a3db9d0e.jpg?v=1782418300"},{"product_id":"au-chasing-dragons-arr-for-guitar-quartet-orphee","title":"Au: Chasing Dragons (arr. for guitar quartet)","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/darin-au\"\u003eDarin Au\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Score \u0026amp; Set of Parts - \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/pages\/format-descriptions\"\u003eFormat guide\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation (this edition)\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"edition-instrumentation\"\u003eGuitar Quartet\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eOriginally for\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eGuitar Ensemble\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/au-chasing-dragons-2000\"\u003eChasing Dragons (2000)\u003c\/a\u003e (6 guitars)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"book-barcode\"\u003e680160118571\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\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\u003efor Guitar Quartet or Guitar Orchestra\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Editions Orphée","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45970913034319,"sku":"494-02507","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/fr\/collections\/darin-au.oembed","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
