Hatikvah

Use a bit of imagination and, in your mind's eye, visualize the celebration of people in native dress dancing among the rocks, sand and olive trees of the Holy Land. The ethnic qualities of the culture are evident as the melody undergoes changes of timbre and of tempo. Observe the festival of all things good!

Hatikvah - Nikola Ovanin

A fresh, overture-like work, a bombastic, short opening gives way to an extended legato andantino section featuring all of the woodwind family. Rhythmic excitement and strong ensemble figures (with some tricky yet fun accidentals for woodwinds) make this a musical contrast of storm and peace.

Haunted Clocks - Brian Balmages

Simple aleatoric devices and clever effects combine to tell the story of a haunted clock factory and its mischievous inhabitants. Beginning with the sound of a single clock, additional clocks seemingly come to life and join in, creating a chorus of clock effects including wind-up, grandfather and cuckoo clocks. The Dies Irae is presented throughout in various altered versions, adding to the somewhat diabolical nature of the scene. Extremely unique and inventive!

Haunted Hollow - Frank McKinney

"Haunted Hollow" was written to describe Booger Hollow, an actual community just a few miles south of Blairsville, Georgia and near the home of the composer. The place is rumored to be haunted, and so this piece takes the listener on an adventure through a mysterious place of shifting shadows, foreboding mountains, and creepy fog.

Haunted Sleigh Ride - James Lord Pierpont / arr. Brian Beck

is based on "Jingle Bells" but shifted to a minor key, transforming a winter favorite into an eerie adventure into the snowy unknown. We may not be "laughing all the way." Brian Beck's setting is jam-packed with various style and dynamic markings as well as accidentals in every part, challenging musicians, and engaging audiences. Shifting a piece from major to minor (or vice versa) will instantly illuminate a melody and breathe new life into a piece. What was happy is now sad, what was dark is now vibrant, and, in this case, what was cheerful is now spooky. Correlated to , Level 4. (2:20)
