Exciting arrangement of a classic song

Emotional, late 19th century classical setting

A Rich Heffler Music arrangement. This solo begins with a calm, reverent setting and is expressive throughout. The middle section is somewhat freer in melodic presentation with the solo more as an obbligato. The ending settles into a quiet, assuring repose.

Virtuoso arrangement of the traditional chorus (chaconne)

In classical Mozart style

This solo begins with a easy lilt underpinned by a gentle accompaniment. Moving into the second section of the piece the tune is embellished in a variation format of chromatic triplets. It repeats back to the first section and proceeds to a Coda section- again, in a triplet format.

Variations in Beethoven’s style

Light, ‘ragtime’ feel

A Rich Heffler Music arrangement. This solo is presented in a reverent setting in a minor key. The middle section shifts momentarily to a major mode and then quickly back to a minor mode. The soloist is provided the opportunity to express with a fluid cadenza which gives way to a final statement of harmonic shifts coming to a solemn close.

Emotional, late 19th century classical setting

Written in typical passacaglia (theme in the bass line) and Fugue fashion, the theme is presented in the piano. The first variation is a gently modified tune in duple with the accompaniment in triplets. In variation two, the tune is rhythmically altered while the upper accompaniment is presented in a spritely fashion. Variation three, the tune is in a triplet moving nature while the theme is in block harmonization in the accompaniment. Variation four is expressive in an almost cadenza fashion. Finally, the Fugue is in a lively four voice manner, ending with a strong proclamation of the title, itself.

A Rich Heffler Music arrangement. The solo begins in a plaintive manner with light embellishment modulating upward in key to a more florid rendition of the melody. The final section goes back to the original key and continues onward in a florid manner.

Traditional setting, slightly contemporary- begins with piano in a motif of the theme. The first section is a stylized rendition of the theme. Then, it continues in the chorus much the same. A transition becomes freer in rhythm and harmony. It then repeats back to the opening sections and then moves to the coda where the piece ends in a solemn fashion.

Combined with music from Brahms Second Symphony in the opening. The second section is more straight-forward of the tune itself where it moves to the thematic material of Brahms once again. The coda section is tranquil where it comes to a final rest.
