THREE SKETCHES OF UNBLEMISHED EARTH for Symphony Orchestra (Full Score and Parts) PDFs
Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2 - 4.3.3.1 - timp.perc(3) - harp - strings
Difficulty: Intermediate (Grade 4)
Duration: ca. 12 minutes
Version Note: This product now includes both the latest revision from March 2024 (for the Budapest Scoring recording session) and the original August 2022 version. The primary difference between the two is the horn writing. The latest version introduces a more independent, choral approach to the horns, moving the piece to grade 5. In contrast, the original version features more conservative, tutti-style horn writing, keeping it at grade 4. Additionally, the latest version includes more complex, layered, divisi-style contrapuntal string writing and slightly more advanced ranges for various instruments, making it more suitable for professional ensembles. Both versions share the same bar numbers, so you can mix and match the parts as needed to fit your ensemble’s needs.
Program Note:
Three Sketches of Unblemished Earth depicts different landscapes I came across while hiking along the Appalachian Trail.
WATER recalls an image I enjoyed in the early mornings, when I would watch the cold dew settle over nearby lakes. Looking out across the rippling surfaces, I was drawn to meditation. At times, my mind would ponder, wander, and brood, but the water would pull me back, giving me peace through simple appreciation for the reflectant reservoirs.
WOODLANDS is essentially traveling music. It adopts a childlike tone of playfulness and adventure.
HEIGHTS is my own personal love letter to the mountainous regions of America's Northeast. I would like this movement to serve as a reminder of what we have to lose if we do not stop polluting—if we do not learn to live in a way that is at peace with our planet.
Document Sizes: For the latest version, the score is formatted for printing on A3 paper, and parts for A4, though these technically could be printed on any size paper. For the legacy version, the score is formatted for Tabloid (11’×17’), and the parts for Letter (8.5”x11”), though these could technically be printed on any size paper.
