Small Ensemble Alto Recorder,Bass Recorder,Harpsichord,Tenor Recorder - Level 3 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.799476

Composed by Roy D. Ayer and Roy D. Ayer. Arranged by Drake Mabry. 20th Century,Broadway,Jazz,Pop,Ragtime. Score and parts. 27 pages. Drake Mabry #3010723. Published by Drake Mabry (A0.799476).

King Chanticleer is a Broadway-style ragtime piece composed in 1910, first as a song and later as a piano solo. It is still a staple of many ragtime and stride pianists. This arrangement for recorder ensemble (with optional harpsichord) remains faithful to the beauty and vitality of the original while adding a few surprises. Note the soft-shoe section, the quote from the Dies Irae and the surprise ending. If needed, the instrumentation may be moved up beginning with sopranino recorders. The harpsichord part adds no new material but just adds harmonic support to the recorders. This arrangement was commissioned by Kathleen Arends for The Big Byrds recorder ensemble in Seattle. The duration is 3'50.

SKU: A0.972670

Composed by James Siddons. Christian,Christmas,Contemporary. Score and parts. 9 pages. James Siddons Music and Writings #6593557. Published by James Siddons Music and Writings (A0.972670).

This score is for two Readers, handbells (3 octaves) and organ.

A medieval folk belief of old Europe was that of all the animals miraculously starting to speak at the birth of the Christ Child. In about 1630, William Austin, a poet and lawyer in London, drew on this traditional belief to write one of his Carrols, for Christmas-day, in which he imagined what the most Stentorian animal of all, the rooster, might say about the new-born Holy Infant in Bethlehem.

In setting William Austin’s carrol to music, James Siddons has given the organ the role of creating a soundscape to underpin the drama of Chanticleer’s proclamation. Following each of Austin’s three stanzas (in dramatic recitation by the Readers), an adaptation of the old French tune O Come, Emmanuel is played by handbells in a harmonic style that recalls the pealing of church bells on Christmas morning.

This work is appropriate for the beginning of Advent and Christmas day worship, and in a service or program of Christmas music; for example, a service of lessons and carols.

The purchase price includes permission to make 14 copies of the score (2 Readers, 8-10 handbell players, organist, and conductor) and permission to video-record a performance for posting on school or church websites and in streaming broadcast.

Vince Peterson's arrangement of this 1922 war song was commissioned, premiered, and recorded by the multi-Grammy® award-winning ensemble Chanticleer. Aligned with Doris Day's 1952 recording of this American song, the arrangement incorporates a sung version of Taps, traditionally played at the burial of an American soldier. The harmonic profile is typical of the style and boasts a barbershop feel with beautiful chromaticism throughout. This arrangement is still simple enough to be labeled Intermediate and will be a special and quintessentially American addition to your program.

Harp solo - Medium - Digital Download

SKU: MQ.6535-E

Composed by David Conte. Secular, 21st century. Score & instrument part. 15 pages. E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital #6535-E. Published by E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital (MQ.6535-E).

Marian Variations for harp solo was written for and is dedicated to harpist Ruth Inglefield, Professor of Harp at the Peabody Conservatory. In 1975, I was a student in Dr. Inglefield's Music History class at Bowling Green State University, where I was pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Composition. Dr. Inglefield arranged for me to study in Paris with Nadia Boulanger, which I did from 1975-78, making me one of her last composition students and utterly changing my life. This piece is written in gratitude for Dr. Inglefield's vision and generosity.

The work is based on my own Ave Maria for SATB chorus which was commissioned in 1991 by the San Francisco male vocal ensemble Chanticleer. Each of the four variations is based on the main melody of the Ave Maria and is separated by interludes built of contrasting material, all leading to a literal statement of the motet after the fourth variation. Thus, though the piece is largely intended for use in solo recitals, it could be played as part of a liturgical service where the motet is also sung.

I am grateful to Sonja Inglefield for her expert and detailed editing of the score. Harpists Steve Main and Michael Rado also offered valuable suggestions. -David Conte.
