Program Notes:
The inspiration behind this piece began with a nostalgic thought about the impermanence of things on this earth. Everything changes over time, no matter how hard we try to hold onto the past. People and places from our childhood only still exist, unchanged, in our memories, and our memory of a thing can never match that thing in reality. I was struggling to put my thoughts into words, let alone music, until I had the incredible gift of spending the day with my dear friend, who was diagnosed with an aggressive and late-stage form of cancer last year. Speaking with her about the piece I was writing, while also listening to her story of courage and faith, inspired me to quickly organize my thoughts and finish the piece.
The piece is in three movements, which are continuous: I. Faith, II. Hope, and III. Love. Movement I describes our journey through life: the busy-ness of life, going along at break-neck speeds, until a trial comes along. Mvt. II is about survival and the processing of complex emotions while experiencing grief, through which we ultimately find hope and the courage to continue on our journey. Mvt. III is about simplifying our lives, realizing the important things in life, reflecting on the things which have changed, and relying on others' help to continue onward. All that remains, in the end, is love.
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.
Digital Download
Digital, PDF version of the score.
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.
