As I began the work, my research took me to such Pittsburgh sites as the Fort Pitt Museum (dedicated to the French and Indian War), and the Bost Museum in Homestead that houses information on Pittsburgh's steel heritage. The primary thematic materials forming the basis of the quartet are drawn from indigenous tunes and folk music associated with the history of Pittsburgh and the region. In all, eleven melodies from various ethnic groups, nationalities, and specific historical events are used. Thematically, the music folds back on itself in many places, and the tunes and their related motives sometimes reappear from movement to movement, often in counterpoint with each other. Taken as a whole, the work is designed to reflect the spirit of the city and provide the listener with a journey through its diverse evolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003eMovement I: The Land at Diondega\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe title refers to the early Native American term for the land where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers meet to form the Ohio River. The movement begins with a traditional Iroquois \"Dream Song,\" intoned on the solo viola, evoking a Native American resident of the virgin forest land that would be Pittsburgh, chanting alone to the trees. During the course of the movement the French settlers begin to gather, and are represented by a traditional French song from 1755, \"La Courte Paille.\" The movement continues with the introduction of the English settlers through the period song, \"The Little Turtle Dove.\" The ensuing battle among these parties (and their associated melodies in the development section of this 'sonata form' movement), representing the French and Indian War, ends with the British melody emerging from the contrapuntal \"struggle\" of the tunes. The raising of the British flag in November 1758 over Fort Duquesne (soon after to be named Fort Pitt), was the anniversary the Allegheny Quartet was commissioned to commemorate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003eMovement II: Magarac's Dream\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe title refers to \"Joe Magarac,\" the Eastern European immigrant's equivalent of the American folk hero, John Henry. Magarac was a mythical figure about whom many stories of heroism were spun. In particular, Magarac was said to have performed feats of extraordinary strength in the Pittsburgh steel mills, and he was a symbolic hero of many steelworkers. The reality of the immigrant's dream of prosperity, however, was usually one of poverty and despair with horrific working conditions and meager salaries. The title of the movement, then, has a double-edged meaning. It is the \"dream\" of the men who came to America to become new Magaracs, but at the same time, the shattering of that dream. The principal melody of this movement, intoned first by the viola, is based on a song written by Andrew Kovaly, a Slovakian immigrant who worked in the Pittsburgh steel mills. \"I Lie in the American Land\" was penned to comfort the wife of Kovaly's steel mill friend, who, newly arrived in America with her children at the behest of her husband, learned that he had just been killed in the mills. The movement is a spiraling elegy of free variations on this tune. The Eastern European folk inflections in the music evoke some of the spirit of those whose lives were consumed by the steel mills. Following the impassioned central section which builds to a climax in the high register, the music floats downward and falls into a traditional Greek tune, \"The Immigrant's Heartbreak,\" a song akin to \"I Lie in the American Land,\" set as a little Greek dance. This tune winds down and we hear a final reprise of \"I Lie in the American Land.\" In the coda, the major key statement of a motive from the melody represents an element of hope, and the final consonant\/dissonant chord that ends the movement is an affirmation of bitter pride.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eMovement III: Men of Steel\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e(Biava Quartet plays the third movement, see youtube link)\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis scherzo movement grows out of motivic ideas I \"translated\" musically from a recording of actual steel mill sounds. There are whistles, rumbling effects, sirens, and the sounds of crashing metal fragments. Out of the churning machine four tunes emerge, each associated with the steel or coal industries in Pittsburgh. The 19th century African American song, \"Coal Diggin' Blues,\" heard in the unison cello and viola, represents a sort of chanting \"chain gang.\" This tune moves immediately into the Slovakian song, \"Aja Lejber Man,\" (I'm a labor man), another melody associated with the mills. The setting suggests an Eastern European folk band with a violin, an accordion, and a pizzicato double bass. The two tunes then mingle in counterpoint and are swallowed up by the sounds of the mill machines. Two other tunes emerge from the furnace as the machine noises morph first into \"Two Cent Coal,\" a song written about a coal workers' incident in Pittsburgh in 1876. The jig-like setting is followed by \"The Homestead Strike,\" a protest song about the 1892 incident in which Andrew Carnegie locked out striking steel workers resulting in a riot that killed a number of people. “The Homestead Strike” and “Two Cent Coal” then combine, and are absorbed back into the steel mill with the machine triumphant all the way to the coda. Overall, the movement depicts a relentless industrial monster which, at times, reveals the various ethnic groups slaving in its vast belly, only to swallow them up again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003eMovement IV: River City Mecca\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe movement begins with a chorale-like setting of the folksong, \"Where the Old Allegheny and Monongahela Flow,” a sentimental ballad popular with early 20th century barbershop quartets in Pittsburgh. The movement continues with upbeat variations on the song, \"Pittsburgh Town,\" a tune attributed to Woody Guthrie when he passed through the city in 1941. A short interlude is followed by a minimalist-like section that builds and builds as we emerge from the dreams of the past into the present time, driving south on Interstate 279 toward the modern city of Pittsburgh (the \"Emerald City” in the distance, growing ever closer). At a climactic moment, we break through a sonic wall, and the original Native American Dream Song of the first movement is heard, followed by an extended canon in which 8 tunes overlap in counterpoint (the Dream Song, “Coal Diggin' Blues,” “Aja Lejber Man,” and “I Lie in the American Land,” morphing gradually into a counterpoint of “The Homestead Strike,” “Two Cent Coal,” “Where the Old Allegheny and Monongahela Flow,\" and “Pittsburgh Town”). As the strains of each ethnic group bubble to the surface from their place in the foundations of Pittsburgh, a triumphant coda emerges, and the movement ends in a musical evocation of a shining modern city.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eCommissioned by the Pittsburgh Chamber Music Society in honor of the 250th anniversary of Pittsburgh.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eNew 2025 edition from 2009 original.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Albert Glinsky","offers":[{"title":"Physical - Score + 4 Parts","offer_id":45518136869084,"sku":"ACA-GLIN-005","price":134.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Physical - Score Only","offer_id":46920912371932,"sku":"ACA-GLIN-005s","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital (PDF) - Score + 4 Parts","offer_id":46920912404700,"sku":"ACA-GLIN-005e","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8198\/2428\/files\/ACA_250_lcover_9x12_6b8ab9c8-1532-4984-b3ff-329ecb4c70e0.jpg?v=1757796133"},{"product_id":"glinsky-isla-del-encanto-four-pictures-of-puerto-rico","title":"Isla del Encanto (Four Pictures of Puerto Rico)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposer's Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween 2008 and 2011 our family made three extended trips to Puerto Rico. My mother-in-law was born and raised there, and my wife and I wanted to introduce our son and daughter to the Island, their relatives, and their heritage. Because we were based in the San Juan area, our daughter, Allegra, was able to study dance regularly at the Ballet Concierto de Puerto Rico, in Santurce. The movements of Isla del Encanto (Island of Enchantment) arose from a desire to evoke the stunning natural beauty of the terrain, and to serve as a diary in sound reflecting our family time together on the Island. All the musical ideas, and much of the work itself, were composed in Puerto Rico. Isla del Encanto is dedicated to Allegra, and honors the spirit of her grandmother (Abuela), Leonor Arroyo Kobler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first movement, \"Fortress of the Trade Winds,\" is a sonic portrait of El Morro, the great 16th century fort built by Spanish settlers to defend the entrance to San Juan Bay from seafaring enemies. A tourist site today \"situated on the northwestern tip of Old San Juan\" El Morro embodies the spirit of the Conquistadors, and the musical treatment here is meant to recall the pomp and splendor of the early equestrian conquerors defending their newfound island colony from the vantage point of this monumental citadel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Ancestral Sands\" is a reference to Yabucoa Playa, the beach town on the Island's southeastern shore where Abuela was born. When we explored the shoreline with its leaning windswept palm trees, the seeds of this movement began to take root. The outer meditative sections of the piece suggest an afternoon reverie in which Allegra ponders her Hispanic roots. The central section \"a sequence of note patterns climbing up the keyboard, only to fall and climb up again\" represents the waves continuously rolling to shore at Yabucoa Playa, carrying with them the soul of the legendary 19th century Puerto Rican pirate, Cofresi, to whom Abuela was purportedly related.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coqui is the small frog, native to Puerto Rico, known for its characteristic mating call that pervades the nocturnal landscape throughout the Island. The coqui (pronounced, Co-KEE, an onomatopoeia for the chirping sound it makes), produces its song in sequences of two rising notes (usually the interval of a sixth, seventh, or octave), separated by a pause: co-KEE . . . co-KEE . . . co-KEE. In the short scherzo movement, \"El Coqui,\" I chose the ascending octave to represent the call of the frog.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe movement begins with a lone coqui, soon joined by a rival\"”both courting the same \"lady' coqui. At the El Yunque tropical rain forest, our guide related a story of two such competing coquis who had taken refuge in her kitchen, one of whom (the smaller of the two), won the heart of a third, female coqui, in the end. \"El Coqui\" tells the story of a similar miniature drama which plays out daily in bushes and trees across Puerto Rico. The collective chirping of numerous coquis provided an atmospheric backdrop to our tropical sleep most nights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"La Danza de Allegra\" (the finale) is a raucous Latin-inspired dance recalling Allegra's time at Ballet Concierto, and the color and pageantry of Puerto Rican culture in general. The celebratory mood evokes the joy of our collective experiences on the Island, and reflects Allegra's world of dance from the perspective of her Latin heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Albert Glinsky","offers":[{"title":"Physical","offer_id":45518137360604,"sku":"ACA-GLIN-004","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital (PDF)","offer_id":45518137393372,"sku":"ACA-GLIN-004e","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8198\/2428\/files\/PagesfromGlinsky_IsladelEncanto_Page_1.jpg?v=1767718605"},{"product_id":"glinsky-sun-chanter","title":"SUN CHANTER","description":"\u003cp\u003eSun Chanter was commissioned by the Erie Philharmonic in honor of the Orchestra's100th Anniversary. It was premiered on November 9, 2013. The musical inspiration for Sun Chanter arose largely from the natural beauty of Pennsylvania's Preque Isle State Park, in Erie. In particular, the iconic sunsets at Presque Isle became a central image as I composed the piece. The symbol of the sun\"”around which 100 orbits of the earth have taken place since the founding of the Erie Philharmonic\"”is contained in one anagram of the title: Sun Chanter = Cent Has Run (Century Has Run), and another, in celebratory mood: Rah Cent Sun (Rah Century Sun). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe harmonic language of Sun Chanter is largely derived from popular music styles: rock, folk-rock, jazz, and musical theater. But these sonic dialects are spoken within the context of a purely classical concert piece. They are not overt references, but part of the very language of the rhythm and harmony itself. Structurally, the piece is a series of variations on a single theme (first heard in its entirety at the beginning of the initial slow section of music), and, like a verse and chorus-style pop song \"writ large,\" is structured around a series of episodes (verses), and recurrences of the main theme (choruses).

Several residents of this tiny town kept diaries during his summer there. We know that Dvorak traveled by train from New York to Iowa, lived in a small 2nd floor apartment with his wife and children, and rose early in the morning to take long walks along the Turkey River. He was struck by the sparsely populated, wide-open country and the songs of birds unknown to him -- especially the melody of the scarlet tanager. He always carried a pencil, but when he forgot his notebook, he wrote musical ideas on his starched shirt cuffs or shirt collar -- much to the dismay of the woman who did his laundry. These musical ideas, reflecting Iowa's landscape and wildlife, coalesced to become the American Quartet, an iconic masterpiece that bears the distinct musical stamp of Dvorak's first impressions of Iowa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSollberger's Spillville is a seven-movement work for flute, viola and guitar.

Fast-forward twenty years when I met archeologist, Marilyn Martorano, who has done extensive research on lithophones identifying 5000-year-old stones that had been shaped by human hands at the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve in Southern Colorado. Playing these ancient stones inspired me to compose a concerto for multiple-percussion that included a stone instrument. This took me down the rabbit hole of researching various types of stone. After three years of work with the help of many people, I was able to realize my dream of a 3-chromatic-octave granite lithophone that is combined with vibraphone, Chinese cloud gongs, Javanese angklung, German almglocken, Japanese taiko, and Middle Eastern darabuka and riq. Given these instruments and their long traditional folk music traditions, it seemed logical to create a through-composed work that hints at but never copies musical traditions from around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael Udow","offers":[{"title":"Physical","offer_id":45598409097436,"sku":"ACA-UDOW-002s","price":45.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8198\/2428\/files\/ACA-UDOW-002s_Page_1_ced1f28a-e827-438a-8497-0276cee699db.jpg?v=1728792560"},{"product_id":"udow-echoes-of-the-past-for-six-percussion-and-video","title":"Echoes of the Past - for Six Percussion and video","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposer's Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMesa Verde, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Colorado, was inhabited by Ancestral Puebloan peoples dating back to 7500 BC.

The adage, \"seeing the trees through the forest\" is apropos. Photographic images of selected trees became the storyboard upon which the animation was created.
