Mills: Delightful Dance, Lonesome Chaconne and Fiery Fugue Three Vignettes for Viola, Cello and Piano (Score and Parts)

by

Vignette I: Delightful Dance Jaunty rhythms and clever surprises render a joyful opening section. Later, a warm, love filled melody is poured out by each instrumentalist, and climbs to a glorious tutti. Then it is back to the joyful dance, a few more surprises, and a delightfully happy ending.

Vignette II: Lonesome Chaconne opens with two dark chords. Then the piano begins the chaconne with a mournful bass line and plaintive off beats. The viola enters and plays a lonesome melody, then is joined by the cello in a melancholy duet over the chaconne until it dies away. The cello’s brief recitative emerges from the depths into an aching cry that is then echoed by the viola. Joining together, they pour out a fervent melody, moving higher and higher until they breakthrough to the light. Alas, the vision fades, and they return to only fragments as the chaconne disappears.

Vignette III: Fiery Fugue opens with a feisty subject melody, first in the viola, followed by the cello, piano right hand, and left hand. It is similar in form to a Bach fugue, but uses modal tonality and syncopated rhythms. The statements and episodes build to a recall of the fervent melody from the second movement, leading to the final dynamic unison statement of the fugue subject. Just as it almost dies away, it recharges and boldly bounds ahead to the end.

Mills: One More Mountain for Horn, Trombone & Piano (Score and Parts)

by

One More Mountain is a dynamic musical drama in one movement for Horn, Trombone and Piano. It features virtuosity of the brass players and lyricism of the pianist. The Dramatic opening theme displays strength of character and builds to a climax. Wistful, ever in motion, the piano introduces the first Waltz theme. The trombone joins in with a soulful outpouring of love, and finally the Horn joins for a beautiful trio of Waltz melodies combined. Building through Honor, the Triumphant climax blazes, then quickly fades as the Dramatic theme returns in canon. The trio of Waltz themes returns, and this time Honor leads to Finding Peace. Slowly and softly the piano emerges, grows rapidly, and is joined by the brass for a rip roarin’ Heroic Ride to the end.

Difficulty Level: Horn/Trombone – 5, Piano – 4
