                                            New Music & Worship Ensemble

                                            The New Music & Worship Ensemble will meet to rehearse early each day, during ensemble rehearsal time.

                                            Riddick Weber, Leader

                                            Old Chapel, Central Church

                                            8:30am – 9:15am

                                            * This is a small ensemble, in which you may participate, in addition to the large ensembles (Chorus or Concert Band)

                                            This group is a collaborative creative music project.  Bring your songs, music, ideas, and instruments/voices!

                                            Riddick Weber will lead, but not pre-define, the sessions.

                                            From Riddick: New words, new tunes, new instrumentations, all the above? This group will offer music by Moravian authors and composers from the 2013 Sing To The Lord A New Song booklet and even newer music to be debuted at the Festival. While some of the music will be “recognizably Moravian” much of this group’s work will take it to a more contemporary sound.

                                            This group will challenge the definitions of “contemporary”, “new”, “traditional”, and seek to find new experiences and new directions through the creativity of the participating musicians. There could be electronics involved. Elements of jazz and rock might appear. Familiar tunes might be incorporated, or totally new lyrics might be written.

                                             

                                            Viewing Concerts from Home

                                            Meet in Peter Hall, Moravian University

                                            8:30am – 9:15am

                                            * This is a small ensemble, in which you may participate, in addition to the large ensembles (Chorus or Concert Band)

                                            This is not one group, but a time for many different groups to find, learn, rehearse, and present a piece from the Moravian archives, or a new composition/arrangement you would bring to share. This is where the more traditional groupings would be found (string quartet, woodwind quintet, brass quintet) but creativity is encouraged.

                                            • A violin part could be adapted for a flute or even trumpet.
                                            • A cello part could be played by bassoon or trombone.
                                            • Pushing the envelope, a vocal group could sing a 18th cent. string trio without words, or make up words.

                                            Instrumental Examples, but a very small sample:

                                            J. F. Peter – Six String Quintets   (so there are 18 mvmts to choose from)

                                            John Antes – Three String Trios (9 mvmts)

                                            David Moritz Michael – Partia (written for 6 winds: 2 clarinet, 2 bassoon, 2 horns)   [bassoon parts could be played by euphonium or trombone]

                                            * This is a small ensemble, in which you may participate, in addition to the large ensembles (Chorus or Concert Band)

                                            The Trombone Choir (Posaunenchor) is a tradition of the Moravian Church, dating back to 1733, when the first set of trombones arrived in Herrnhut, Germany.

                                            The Festival is a unique opportunity for trombonists to perform as an ensemble, and many other instrumentalists bring trombones to join in.

                                            • Soprano trombone (in Bb) uses the same mouthpiece as Trumpet and is pitched in Bb. Reads Bb treble parts.
                                            • Alto trombones are made in F and Eb and read transposed music like French and Alto Horns in treble clef. Some alto players read Alto Clef in C.
                                            • Tenor and Bass trombones are the common modern trombone, reading Bass Clef in C.
                                            • Contrabass trombone also reads Bass Clef in C, but can play the tuba part (chorale books) or sometimes just a lower part, or an octave lower part. Bass Trombones pitched in F or G are often referred to as contrabass, but a true contrabass is equivalent to a BBb Tuba. Bass Trombones in all keys are welcome!

                                            Moravians have used brass ensembles and bands since their earliest years in Herrnhut to announce special events and to accompany singing at outdoor services and funerals. Trombones were some of the first instruments received in or imported to Moravian settlements in North America, where, in certain congregations, like Bethlehem, PA (Bethlehem Area Moravian Trombone Choir), Downey (CA) and Glenwood (Madison, WI), the original instrumentation of trombones in soprano, alto, tenor, bass and contrabass, is preserved. The Salem Trombone Choir (Winston-Salem, NC) also uses exclusively SATB trombones and is a performing ensemble formed as a non-profit organization to promote this unique musical art form.

                                            Random Acts of Music

                                            Since we are in a shortened week, we wanted to allow for music during every part of our days.

                                            Random Acts is the Festival’s “permission” for anyone to present music in informal or even unexpected spaces (walkway, lawn, hallway) for anyone in the area to enjoy.

                                            We have suggestions for locations and will keep a general sign-up sheet to coordinate the various performances.

                                            Director, Master of Arts in Theological Studies
                                            Associate Professor of the Practice of Pastoral Ministry

                                            Riddick enjoys music from Bach to the Beatles, from Wagner to the Who, and is interested in the religious themes that can be found in their music. To explore these themes with students, he teaches one Winter-term course entitled Rock Solid Theology, and another Winter-term courses relating the principles of jazz to worship planning.

                                            Riddick’s research addresses the radical and integrated liturgical, cultural and social creativity of the 18th century Moravian Church. More recently his research has focused on how the Moravian Church lives out these principles today, especially as they related to the ordination of women, the viability of congregational models and the impacts of church governance. In his classes, he encourages students to explore how the creative use of religious traditions and social structures may empower the church to address the challenges it faces today.
