Score/Parts: M Mauldin (computer-engraved, available for sale/rental).A'ts'ina is an ancient, sacred Zuni city atop El Morro--also known as "Inscription Rock"--in west-central New Mexico. Mauldin has often been struck by the "presence" of the place, and drawn by the petroglyphs' communication of both the mundane and the spiritual. The new composition comes from his imagining of life there in the 1200's, and from the place's spiritual power today.Digitized with funding from the Center for Regional Studies

Canyon Light
No full textFour Scenes for Woodwind Quintet – photocopy of manuscript score only. Commissioned by the New Mexico Woodwind Quintet, which premiered the work on May 16, 1990 at the Episcopal Church of the Holy Faith in Santa Fe and May 21, 1990 at St. Andrew Presbyterian Church in Albuquerque. Movement Titles: "Morning Prayers," "River Music," "Shimmering Heat," "Sunset." ASCAP Title Code: 330553996. Date Composed: 1989. Copyright: 1990 M Mauldin. Duration: 12:15. Score/Parts: M Mauldin (manuscript).This piece was inspired by a river-rafting trip I took with my sons, Kendall and Kevin, at Moab, Utah. My sons must have thought their father insane for taking them there in August. But the cooling white-water, the colors of the canyons and child’s play on sandy beaches made it a treasured experience for us all. “Morning Prayers” recalls “making peace” with the cathedral-like canyon before riding the Colorado River. “River Music” is full of white-water thrills, as well as quiet moments when the river is deep and slow, while we float beside the raft. “Shimmering Heat” recalls the surreal light effects of rising heat. In “Sunset” there is a sense of urgency to take in as much of the beauty of the rich light on the landscape before night falls. The energy we get from that beauty is real. Not just a fleeting mood, it sustains mind, body and spirit.Digitized with funding from the Center for Regional Studies.Morning Prayer -- River Music -- Shimmering Heat -- Sunse
Three New Mexico Landscapes
No full textfor Clarinet and Piano – photocopy of (professional) manuscript copy of score and part as published by Composer America Editions (out of business, © returned to M Mauldin). Written for the composer's wife and premiered by her and him February 22, 1976 in Albuquerque; winner of the NM Bicentennial Composition Contest, leading to a Kennedy Center performance in 1976; also the second-place winner in the 1983 American Chamber Music Composition Competition. Movement Titles: "Enchanted Mesa," "Sleeping Snow," "Aspen Race." ASCAP Title Code: 500961802. Date Composed: 1975. Copyright: 1978 M Mauldin. Duration: 11:30. Score/Parts: M MauldinProgram Notes: The first movement of "Three New Mexico Landscapes" is entitled "Enchanted Mesa" and is a result of my “ time-machine” experience there, which was no more than feeling in touch with the land and the people who had lived and died there centuries before. "In touch" in a very "present" way. It was my first reference to the ancestors of today's Pueblo people. The other two movements hinted at the tugging forces of adversity and bliss: the second, "Sleeping Snow", was sophisticated "blues" with a touch of panic in the middle, and "Aspen Race" was a child-like celebration of a colorful, stimulating environment.Digitized with funding from the Center for Regional Studies.Enchanted mesa -- Sleeping snow -- Aspen rac
Three Songs of the Green Earth
No full text. for Joel Scott, hornist, who premiered it, with the composer at the piano, in a concert celebrating the beginning of Spring, March 21, 1985 in Albuquerque. Movement Titles: "Elegy," "Pastorale," "Ballade." Date Composed: 1984. Duration: 16:55. Score/Parts: M Mauldin (manuscript).This was the first piece written after a brief but deep personal crisis. My “new direction” was that I no longer felt I needed to see things through the eyes of the Anasazi. In my reconnection with the sacredness of “all that is” in the natural world, I could experience and share the good and evil, the order and chaos myself.Digitized with funding from the Center for Regional Studies.Elegy -- Pastorale -- Ballad
Glyph
No full textWritten for clarinetist Keith Lemmons and vibraphonist Christopher Shultis and premiered by them, with the composer at the piano, April 10, 1989 in Keller Hall at UNM. ASCAP Title Code: 371125318. Date Composed: 1978. Duration: 7:51. Score/Parts: M Mauldin (manuscript).A 'glyph' is a carved work or ornamental mark. The word is sometimes used in the Southwestern United States for 'petroglyph', a type of rock-drawing left by ancestors of American Indians. In this case, it means a "doodle'--a significant one, such as Pompeii grafitti or the boasts of Spanish explorers on Inscription Rock in New Mexico--but an impromptu human scribble.Digitized with funding from the Center for Regional Studies
