Description
Modern Legacy, Gala Flagello (2025) 12'30" for large chamber winds
Modern Legacy (2025) is a rollicking exploration of the lineage of conventions and their enduring ability to inspire generations of contemporary concoctions. Each of the work's three movements references iconic pillars of the chamber winds repertoire while showcasing different sections of the ensemble. in the first movement, "Partita," a fragment of Mozart's Gran Partita attempts to conscript all instrument families to its cause, whimsically whirling through a kaleidoscope of classical and contemporary exchanges. The second movement, "Serenade," is a nod to Dvořák's Serenade for Winds , featuring slippery harmonic moments, a leap-laden cantabile main melody, and a trio section that may not be what it seems. in the third and final movement, "Concertino," the ensemble and piano soloist transmute vestiges of Stravinsky's Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments , shapeshifting through stark and resonant harmony, intricate imitative surges, and fearless rhythmic excursions. Modern Legacy celebrates this instrumentation's collective power as well as the intimacy and distinctiveness of its component parts.
Chamber winds instrumentation:
Piccolo, flute, oboe 1-2, clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon, contrabassoon, alto saxophone, baritone saxophone, horn 1-2, trumpet 1-2, percussion, piano, double bass
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.
