Sutra of Pearls, A

By Tony Wheeler

$18.00 Sale

Solo flute, c.8'40. Grade 8

This piece draws its inspiration from a number of sources: traditional Chinese music; techniques of the Japanese shakuhachi; modal writing; twelve tone serialism and a touch of blues. The moderato section is to be played with great fluency, and with due attention to the articulation, harmonics, accents and rhythmic accuracy.
Composed 2006

Two Folk Songs

By Tony Wheeler

$25.00 Sale

Clarinet in Bb,  Pipa and Piano, c.5'40.  Grade 6

These two Chinese folk songs both originate from the province of Sichuan, and are arranged here in the form and spirit of free variations.The carrying pole, balanced across the shoulder and laden at each end with heavy loads of water, grain or other goods, can still be seen in many indigenous Chinese communities. The first song,
Tai yang chu lai (The sun comes out) is a workers’ song, sung to accompany the carrying of heavy loads up and down the mountain.
Huai hua ji shi kai? (When will the scholar tree bloom?) is a love song. A young woman is waiting on the balcony, hand on the railing, waiting for her boyfriend to return. Her mother asks what she is looking at, to which she replies, “Ehhhh, I’m just wondering when that scholar tree (huai hua) is going to bloom!”
  • When will the Scholar Tree Bloom? - c. 2'45
  • When the Sun Come Out? - c.2'55
Composed 2018

Wind Quintet No 2

By Tony Wheeler

$25.00 Sale

Flute, clarinet, oboe, horn, bassoon, c.4'10 

This piece is in two sections, Prelude and Dance. The form is through-composed, most of the melodic writing is modal, and much of the harmonic material is a result of the lateral movement of the individual parts. Though it is written primarily for players at intermediate level, it will nevertheless be rewarding for players of more advanced ability.
Composed 2017.
