{"product_id":"nunes-matthew-ashe","title":"Nunes, Matthew - Ashe","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the Composer:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Ashe is a piece that was commissioned and premiered by Ashley Klumpp, a euphonium player I met at the University of Central Florida. The basis for this work was inspired by Robert Schumann's Piano piece \u003cem\u003eCarnaval \u003c\/em\u003e(1934) and a technique he used to compose it. Schumann's piece feathers pitches that spell out names of a town, a friend, and a lover as the melodic basis for each movement. With Ashe I used four letters from Ashley's name that serve as melodic pitches and are frequently used throughout: A= A-Natural, S = Es, or E-Flat, H = B - Natural*, and E = E-Natural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*In this piece I substitute B-Natural with B-Flat\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI also imagined an innocent person, represented by the mid to high register, being closely hunted by a menacing creature, lurking in the bowels of the euphonium range. These two forces are destined to collide, and which one prevails is up to the listener to decide.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e~Matthew Nunes, May 2013\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cimarron Music Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51509043265705,"sku":"N111","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/0947\/9849\/files\/Ashe_Cover_Page_1.jpg?v=1793916089","url":"https:\/\/maxoutlet.shop\/products\/nunes-matthew-ashe","provider":"Sterling Grove","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
