This is an essential part of the physical calculations required for a successful shuttle launch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe introduction is epic, representing the firing of the main engines. The faster section that follows this captures the intensity and speed of the shuttle racing the through the atmosphere. The next, quieter section aims to represent the release of the initial engines, and the shuttle's entry into low-Earth orbit. The next louder section is the secondary boosters firing, which is followed later by another quiet section that turns inward to the astronauts' thoughts as they witness open space in front of their eyes. The epic conclusion of the piece returns to the introductory music, indicating a successful escape from the Earth's gravity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1 -\u003c\/strong\u003e Horn (F), Tenor Trombone, Euphonium (BC or TC)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 2 -\u003c\/strong\u003e Horn (F), Tenor Trombone, Euphonium (BC or TC), Tuba\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 3 -\u003c\/strong\u003e Horn (F), Tenor Trombone, Bass Trombone, Euphonium (BC or TC), Tuba\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Just a Theory Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42300325036111,"sku":"136-016-SP","price":50.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/ff1c12953d623f40675e0ff9840cdc56.png?v=1752089860"},{"product_id":"zegiel-tapestry-just-theory","title":"Zegiel: Tapestry","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/zh\/collections\/evan-zegiel\"\u003eEvan Zegiel (1994-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Score \u0026amp; Brass Parts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eTrumpet, Tuba, Electronics\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapestry (2024)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: 42\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\u003eTapestry,\u003c\/em\u003e Evan Zegiel (2024)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003efor tuba, trumpet and heavy metal band (fixed media)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring my travels across the United States, Canada, and Japan in 2024, I was inspired by something I perceived in nearly every city I visited. I observed that people in these places were so very similar to each other. That is to say, I experienced what can only be described as the fundamental kinship which we all share. I truly witnessed every end of the spectrum in terms of wealth disparities, access to clean water and nutritious food, housing availability, and so on. in every city, though, one could feel that will to live, that most instinctual of impulses inherent in all living beings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are all humans, sharing this planet with each other and with the many other species which call it home. The title \u003cem\u003eTapestry\u003c\/em\u003e pays homage to this web of life, of which we are a strand. The music weaves in and out of different emotional states. At times anxious, others fierce and triumphant, we humans find ourselves surfing these emotional waves every day. The actions those emotions motivate us to take influence the tapestry of life all around us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink of the butterfly effect: a butterfly flapping its wings one day changes the initial weather conditions just enough to generate a tornado some weeks later (the scholar Edward Norton Lorenz is credited with this). A bit of dialogue from a favorite video game character of mine gets at a similar idea poignantly, too:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Be careful of charity and kindness, lest you do more harm with open hands than a clenched fist…from such small things, from such critical points, the universe and its masses may be moved...that is why you must be careful in all that you do, and in every choice you make.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e- Kreia, from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a startling possibility to consider, that a person's intent to help might ultimately weaken the recipient. of course, the opposite is true, and is likely more common. The same could be said of a \"clenched fist\" approach: one can find examples of this pressure actually helping people. for an example, the overreach of an oppressive regime can lead to a political revolution, which ultimately benefits a greater number of people. On the flip side, such a revolution can result in even worse conditions. Examples of both can be found throughout recorded history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe point is that every action has a consequence and not every outcome can be predicted. One must consider every significant action, and as many insignificant ones as possible, as potentially impactful on the world at large.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithout venturing too far into the metaphysical, I believe that every single element of the universe is connected in some way or another beyond the crude matter we see in front of us.

While out on the road playing bass, I knew I was going to have to miss my former mentor Phil Sinder's retirement celebration at Michigan State University in April. When he asked me to write a piece for the concert, I was honored to be granted a place in the events. I have treasured this opportunity to pay tribute to a man who has had such a great impact on me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Cycles\" is about more than my time at MSU, though it does directly correlate to my own timeline. This piece is, more broadly, a reflection on the many ways in which we develop and maintain bonds within our studios. Every applied instrumental and voice teacher represents a thread which becomes present in every student's life starting from their very first lesson on campus. We students carry the influence and the traditions of our teachers, passing them down while simultaneously uniting through them. Studying music is a very particular experience in that regard, because one can immediately connect with another who studied with the same teacher. These repetitious moments of convergence upon each other's lives is made relatable and personal because of that shared piece of identity and experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is quite amazing to think that the simple act of creating organized sound brings so many people together.
