Description
Persian music is immensely rich in history, culture, and expression. There has always been a very unique style and feel to it with common themes and elements present in all songs created by Persian artists. It has specific unique elements in its composition, quite different from Western classical music, common across all forms of Persian music regardless of genre or generation: highly vocal melodies, greater use of ornamentation, and particular notation. While different, these elements are not incompatible with one another. This musical composition uses a string ensemble of Violin, Viola, Cello, and Double Bass to combine and incorporate the unique styles and elements of Persian music with those of Western classical music. This Persian-inspired waltz brings out aspects of both styles to convey both styles in harmony together and, at the same time, portrays each respective style within the setting and context of the other.

Description
During my career as an oboist, I have only played the oboe d’amore one time before this project. I have always wondered why such a beautiful instrument is scarcely
played today, and decided it was time to commission new works that aim to bring back
the instrument’s popularity. Tim Carlos composed Fernweh: Sonata for Oboe d’amore
and Piano and Two Sketches for Oboe d’amore, Guitar, and Percussion. This document
covers the collaborative method Carlos and I experienced, the history of the oboe
d’amore, edits made to the compositions, and most importantly a performer’s guide to
these two new works (discussing both technical and musical challenges.) The recordings
are also included. To purchase either work in its entirety, contact
timcarloscomposer@gmail.com.

Description
A manuscript of a symphony kept on the bookshelves of a library is like a great painting hidden away in a museum where no one can see it. Music needs to be performed to be appreciated and embedded into a culture. The work of a composer must be made accurately easily accessible to musicians and the public for the work to be widely disseminated. This critical edition marks an effort in this direction to shed light on a major work of Mexican composer José Francisco Vásquez Cano (1896-1961).José F. Vásquez was one of the most prolific Mexican composers and accomplished conductors in the first half of the 20th century, yet there is little widespread knowledge about his life and works. This critical edition of the first movement of Symphony No. 2 (1929) will create a path to further performances and recordings, so that future generations in Mexico and abroad can acquire a wider appreciation of this composer’s role in the wider Mexican cultural heritage.
This edition aims to show with transparency every critical decision made based on the score’s manuscript and presently available set of instrumental parts. Due to the continued efforts of José J. Vásquez (the composer’s son) to promote the recovery and performance of his father’s music, I have had access to a black and white scan of the full score’s manuscript, and high-definition color scans of 29 parts for each instrument, allowing me to accurately pinpoint possible errata in the manuscript. The critical commentary along with the digitized score aim to offer future conductors and performers access and insight into this important work by an invaluable composer.
