Full orchestral scores and parts are available for these new, original, exciting show-starters.

Incompatibility Issues
Copyright 2007, Joe Wiedemann

As many of our daily activities are taken over by the computer, a host of issues arise, and inevitably lead to trouble.  Everything starts off hunky-dory.  Then, in an abruptly new key, things take a turn for the worse.  A series of error messages add stress and confusion, making progress difficult.  Constantly hitting brick walls, frustration builds.  Just as suddenly, and without explanation, things seem to right themselves with a tidy 3-part fugue, as if all components are working together again in harmony.  This builds to a reprise of the "all-is-well" theme, until a brief reminder of trouble ends this episode. 
Duration 5:24

Agitate
Copyright 2009. Joe Wiedemann

 Some things cannot be left alone.  Whether it's an individual who just likes to stir things up, or a feeling that something's not right, everyone at one time has felt agitated.  Each instrument section here has a chance to stir the pot.  This moody piece offers challenging parts for experienced orchestras.  Lively tremelos and staccatos generate agitation, contrasted by slow and sometimes ominous melodies.  Agitate is an all acoustic work for full orchestra, looking for it's world premier.

Element of Risk NEW Score
Copyright 2013, Joe Wiedemann (Orchestronics)

  It begins and ends in "comfort zones," but the activity in-between can be exciting, unsettling and exhilarating. Virtually everything we do contains an Element of Risk. From the moment we groggily step out of bed, we encounter uncertainties in our physical environment, from the food we eat, the weather we encounter, people on different channels, traffic, new adventures, employment challenges, physical dangers, and any number of unexpected occurrences.  You don't have to be a thrill-seeker to be threatened by life-altering choices.
Duration 5:53

Scored for: Flutes I-II, Oboes I-II, Clarinets I-II, Bassoons I-II, Horns in F I-II-III, Trumpets I-II, Trombones I-II, Tuba, Timpani, Violins I-II, Violas, Cellos, Contrabass

Dreamcycles
Copyright 2004, Joe Wiedemann

The sleepy intro droops into a slightly dissonant chord, which signals the beginning of the dreams. If you've ever noticed someone twitching as they sleep, you'll understand what comes next. Just as sleep has its cycles, dreams stretch and compress, morph and change.  A synthesizer adds a touch of surrealism that reminds us "it's only a dream."  As an integrated player in the orchestra, the synth adds color and timbre, shining through on its own only occasionally. Various scenarios play out, until the cycle ends with that familiar dry-sounding mechanical alarm clock.
Duration 7:55.

Scored for: Synthesizer (with one-button patch/program change), Flutes, Oboes, English Horn, Clarinets, Bassoons, Horns in F I-II, Trumpets I-II, Trombones I-II, Tuba, Timpani, Glockenspiel, Violins I-II, Violas, Cellos, Double Bass.

Duet for Any Two Keyboards
Copyright 2008, Joe Wiedemann

This duet is scored for either one player with two keyboards (likely stacked atop one another), or two players, with different instruments.  All that's needed, are two hands.  The version heard here is for piano and synthesizer, but any two  keyboards will do.   Experimentation is encouraged, especially if electronic sounds are used.  The piece makes for a challenging educational exercise for a talented student or aspiring pop keyboardist, in playing stacked instruments. 
Duration 4:40
 
Scored for any two keyboards.  The midi recording here uses a Korg Z-1.

Four at a Time, Please!
Copyright 2004, Joe Wiedemann

Four-part harmony is the basis for much ensemble music.  This piece has four lively parts and can be scored for just about any four instruments you like.  It would make a great educational tool in applied music settings.  Currently, scores are available for string quartet, saxes, brass, and basic S.A.T.B. which can be used as a template for orchestration classes.  The full orchestral score alternates instrumentation throughout, so that only four parts are playing at a time, until the very end, when everyone chimes in.  Click on the blue speaker icon below to hear that version.

Watching the Clock
Copyright 2006, Joe Wiedemann

If you're familiar with the phrase "hurry up and wait," you'll understand the many moods of Watching the Clock. Though time remains constant, our perceptions of it change in speed.  A brief calm intro is quickly contrasted by a hurried "ticking" bed, with a slowly moving theme superimposed over it.  Interrupted by brief moments of building frustration, as if the hands of the clock are moving to slowly, the paced rhythms continue.  A slow interlude interlude could be a sign of surrender to nature's time superiority, or it could simply be the lunch break in a busy work day when "it's okay" if time seems to pass more slowly.  The relentless pace resumes and builds, until a final ritardando ends this busy day. 
Duration 8:03
