James Nathaniel Holland

The Discontented Housewife FULL ORCHESTRAL SCORE ONLY, A Comic Opera in One Ridiculously Short Act Music and Libretto by James Nathaniel Holland(Piano Vocal Score and Full Score with Parts Sold Separately)YouTube presentation of entire opera with singers and piano: https: //youtu.be/XAGjuXCvwzE(Duration: 30') Twenty some odd years before the Desperate Housewives phenomenon there was a discontented housewife named Margaret. Synopsis: "This is the interesting story of Margaret." So begins the screwball one-act chamber opera about an emotionally abused housewife, and the extent she goes to change the situation life has dealt her. Not even the pianist is allowed to sit by and idly accompany Margaret's journey into self-empowerment. Is it a battle between the sexes? Certainly not. It's more like power, domination and the pure thrill of ordering others around. ARTISTS NEEDED: Soprano (Coloratura) Margaret, Harold (Baritone)ORCHESTRATION: Picc, fl12, ob12, cl12, bsn, hrn12, tpt, trm, timp, perc (or drum set), pno, strings. (Full Score in Concert Pitch)Great vehicle for young artists. First premiered at DePauw University, Greencastle Indiana in 1987. Later performed by the New Jersey Concert Opera in 2004. Combine with either J.N. Holland's other one act operas "The One Upstairs" (comedy) and "O Holy Art" (tragedy) to make a complete opera evening entitled "A New York Triptych" All require same type of singers (with some addition and chorus) and same size of orchestra. Other operas also available and published, sold separately.Please note: Although this is a farce, the orchestral should have solid players, an experienced conductor and enough rehearsal time should be given so that the piece won't fall apart in performance. Due to the comedic element, there are constantly shifting tempos and effects that a community or amateur orchestra/conductor might have difficulty with.

21st century, American composer James Nathaniel Holland brings you a mystical concerto led by one of the orchestra's most beautiful instrument, the French Horn. But here arranged for Bb Tenor Saxophone (Arrangement available for solo trombone and of course, the original for french horn.)This three movement concerto begins with the first movement, "Return to Valhalla" echoing the great composers Richard Strauss and Wagner. Then continues with an emotional second movement, Vissi D'arte (or 'All for Art').The third movement is a fun scherzo and march which satirizes the sometimes passive aggression and self importance of the Bureaucrat, coming to an energetic finale that is typical of Holland's music. This arrangement includes the instrument part and orchestra reduction for the piano with the part written above in concert pitch for easier rehearsal. Duration: 20 minutes Orchestral accompaniment can be used with this arrangement to make a Saxophone concerto. (Orchestral score and parts sold separately.)

YouTube Presentation: https: //youtu.be/-zOxblZUcVg Despite being a New Yorker at the time, actually the year 2001 was an excellent year for me. I had the opportunity to take a grand tour to the wonderful country of Brazil which I had always dreamed about. I can say it didn't disappoint. Before computers could imitate an orchestra well, I bought in Salvador many Brazilian instruments and carted them back home. This piece for jazz orchestra was the beginning of my personal "renaissance" as a composer, and here it is, all shiny and new and revised. The piece begins with a fast Samba, slows to mysterious calls of the rainforest, travels through Rio's "bossa nova" and ends with a bang. Great, serious piece for jazz concert.Instrumentation: picc, fl, alto fl, clBb, TS, BS, Tpt 1234, trmb 123, Btrm, percussion (5) (surdo high and low, tri., vibraslap, tri., ride cym w.sft. mall. and st., rainstick, pandeiro (tam.), congas, claves, snare, w.blk) pno, full stringsComposer website: http: //lacoronadelossantos.net/jamesnathanielholland.html

Offered here the Complete Full Orchestral Score and Individual Instrument Parts Together. 2012. The end of the world. How much did we have to suffer through all those articles, movies, and events that never happened? But I still like the idea of it. Some sort of awakening. This monumental symphony was an awakening for me as a composer because it was my first. Since then I have become accustomed to composing 'musical novels' as opposed to 'musical short stories.' This piece begins with an ever growing energy that bursts into life. But with creation all is not over, it is only the beginning, it needs time to mature against adversity, bouncing between resolution and more growth, infinite, a never ending process.
