CARITATEM-CHARIVARI TRIOS
Note 1 to The Editor: The scores are 'read' and 'played' by a computer: Therefore, no nuances, no subtlety, no gradual transitions can be expected because notes and silences cannot be compared with a professional ensemble interpreting a score; only scores or works with this folio that you deem as suitable will be re-commissioned so they may be performed and recorded. Very few pieces exceed a length of one minute. They were conceived as selections to be fitted together or contrasted with complementary works in the vast collection {over 1800 works] to suit the needs of programmers and artists so as to meet both concert and occasional uses.

Note 2 to The Editor: To hear and follow a score, click the > button. To stop a rendition, click within any bar; to pick up where you stopped listening, click the orange > icon found at the top left-hand corner of the bar (next to the measure number) you want to hear within the folio. Should the playing hit a snag or appear to sputter or stop altogether [a memory overload glitch], click on a measure anywhere to pause the 'freeze' and then please click the orange > icon found at the top of any individual measure that appears on your screen to let the music rendition continue. You can also advance the score by moving the bar at the bottom of a score window. All original music was composed by Dr. Thomas; all music in the Caritatem-Charivari Collection is copyright-protected by the 7 Arts Foundation.
Impromptu ad quem ad patres, canon for brass, by Marshall Thomas | Commissioned for a portfolio display at Modern Masterworks Gallery of the series entitled "Angel Heart" - over 25 works by Dr. Thomas | Excerpt of the Celebrity Chamber Players rendition of the work from the Caritatem-Charivari Collection, courtesy of Signature Recording Industries | All rights reserved.
Impromptu
Dear Editor: All but the last of these six works in this folio were ranked by both college and professional music composer-arranger previewers as clearly intelligent, sensitively, inventively constructed, able to impart a clear emotional response from professional performers. The work was a sketch, an incomplete work composed during the same interval when Dr. Thomas was commissioned to work on the featured selections.
Intermezzi di Camerata
Intermezzi di Camerata, canon for brass [and percussion], by Marshall Thomas | Commissioned for a portfolio display at Modern Masterworks Gallery of the series entitled "Angel Heart" - over 30 works by Dr. Thomas | Excerpt of the Celebrity Chamber Players rendition of the work from the Caritatem-Charivari Collection - under the direction of the composer, courtesy of Signature Recording Industries | All rights reserved.
Intermezzi Impromptu (encores)
Dear Editor: All but the last of the seven works in this folio were ranked by both college and professional music composer-arranger previewers as clearly intelligent, sensitively, inventively constructed, able to impart a clear emotional response from professional performers. The last work - ADORATION - was a sketch, an incomplete work composed during the same interval when Dr. Thomas was commissioned to work on the featured selections. And, while the brevity of the majority of the works in the Caritatem-Charivari collection suggest encores, fanfares and linked works, test outcomes suggest these appear to have caught the ear of many previewers in that regard more than others.
Intermezzi Laus Deo
Dear Editor: The first four works in this folio were ranked as exceptional by both college and professional music composer-arranger previewers and as clearly intelligent, sensitively, inventively constructed, able to impart a clear emotional response from professional performers. The balance of the folio is comprised of sketches, incomplete works composed during the same interval when Dr. Thomas was commissioned to work on the featured selections.
Intermezzi Seriatim
Dear Editor: All of the eight works in this folio except the study - STET - were ranked by both college and professional music composer-arranger previewers as clearly intelligent, sensitively, inventively constructed, able to impart a clear emotional response from professional performers. The work STET was a sketch, an incomplete work composed during the same interval when Dr. Thomas was commissioned to work on the featured selections.
Prima Inventione por Trumpet, Trombone, Tuba
Dear Editor: The following works in this folio were ranked by both college and professional music composer-arranger previewers as clearly intelligent, sensitively, inventively constructed, able to impart a clear emotional response from professional performers: No. 3 via Inventione Marcello; and, No. 5. Any other work(s) are sketches of incomplete works composed during the same interval when Dr. Thomas was commissioned to work on the featured selections.
