Composed by Therese Brenet. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score and parts. 39 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #45419. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.532834).

Thérèse Brenet was attracted to the Chinese poems in La Flûte de Jade by Franz Toussaint. She chose seven of these poems in a contrasting style and assembled them into a single work, striving to create an unusual orchestration which reflects this delicate, fantastic and sensual qualities of these poems. Her orchestration uses a small group of strings which are re-enforced by a harpsichord, a vibraphone, a harp and percussion, often superimposed, which serve to underline the delicate character of the poems. IN addition, she uses all styles of vocal production, from whispered passages to spoken words or screams, and from singing normally to sprechgesang. The work finishes serenely with a long melody in flute upon which the baritone repeats the last phrases of the poem in a long perdendosi. The voice and the flute slowly die away without there being a definite ending to the work, which allow the listener to imagine that the work continues, as in a waking dream. One could imagine hearing the echo of the words whispered by the baritone and the arien and luminous sounds of the flute which has lulled us as a soloist throughout the seven poems of the cycle. The orchestration is for 4 percussion, harp, harpsichord, piano and strings (44221). The piece generally lasts approximately fourteen minutes. The composer has intentionally broken with tradition by using instrumental notation for the vovcal part. This notations gives, in her view, a greater ease of reading when the voice exchanges with the flute. This version for flute, voice and piano is identical, as much as is possible, with the orchestral version, excpet for short segments in the 5th and 7th poems. These differences only affect the flute and piano parts and do not affect the vocal part. The Baritone may therefore use this score for performances with orchestra. The Flutist should use the part included in the orchestral parts for performances with orchestra. This work was first performed at the Villa Medicis during Thérèse Brenet time spend there during her Prix de Rome voyage. It was recorded in 2014 with Kurt Ollmann Baritone, Christel Rayneau, flute and the National Polish Radio Orchestra under the direction of Paul Wehage. The orchestral materials are on rental from the publisher.

THERE SHE GOES - The La's

String Orchestra of 2 violins, viola, cello and string bass chords (such as Am, G, etc)

score: 10 pages 

parts: 10 page

time: 2'50

MY QUARTET VERSIONS, in short notice work fine for solo, two parts and three parts 

however I also offer individual versions for one, two and three parts that are more detailed for these ensembles.

Please visit  https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/search?Ntt=sherry+lewis+publishing for all of the titles I offer.

If you can’t find a title then contact me through stringquartet@hotmail.com and I’ll give you the link back to Sheet Music Plus’s listing.

VERSATILE Titles that include four parts are written with the idea that they can be performed with 1, 2, 3 or 4 musicians. Most of the contemporary/popular titles include a chord chart for a bass instrument.

PRACTICE needs would vary according to the level of the performers but my goal is to be sight-readable for most performers and groups. 

AUDIO SAMPLE The 30 second mp3 is frequently shortened and may not start at the introduction to get to the reprise. The actual introduction will be in the sheet music.

LISTENABILITY I have performed thousands of weddings and special events. I make it a goal for the music to carry as well as possible through loud and large space situations. 

ARRANGEMENTS usually follow the original version. There is an mp3 where you can hear 30 seconds and get a feeling of the originality of the work.

EXCELLENT for corporate events, weddings, social gatherings and recitals.

APPROPRIATE for students and schools.

CHURCH REPERTOIRE I’m always adding more titles.

Thank you for your purchase

By Kris Allen. By Bill Withers. Arranged by Theresa Zaremba. Soul. 17 pages. Theresa Zaremba #5335183. Published by Theresa Zaremba (A0.1029446).

The Arrangement does include all Parts for the Instruments. Although, there is no extra Part for the Singer! Since the Singer does not need any sheet music, I just put some cues in the first violin, where you will need some pointers. Other then that, the Singer will be fine on his or her own and the mp3, as a reference.

There are some tricky rhythms in the parts, so I hope you are having fun with that.

Composed by Frederick Frahm. Contemporary,Folk,Holiday,Patriotic. Score and parts. 26 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #3095057. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.534002).

On 31 October 1517, Dr. Martin Luther, according to church custom,
posted a document presenting 95 theses intended for scholarly debate
on the door of the Castle Church of Wittenberg. As a teacher, theologian,
and a pastor he found much to be concerned with in the conduct of his
mother, the Church. His intent was to begin a conversation over honest
grievances and to persuade those who would lead to take a path more
consistent with the teachings they espoused.
Spaces of Night takes its impetus from this desire to speak truth to power.
It's music, with no small sympathy towards the tonal language and dialect
of the classic American liturgical tradition, is at times parody and at other
times anti-parody. It's libretto, while created 100 years ago by a celebrated
American author, speaks in our present age to an empire that has lost its way.
Its voice is not one of despair and rage,
but hope for and commitment to the future of the gathered community.
If I should cast off this tattered coat,
And go free into the mighty sky;
If I should find nothing there
But a vast blue,
Echoless, ignorant —
What then?

Libretto adapted by the composer
From the ‘lines’ of Stephen Crane:
The Black Riders and Other Lines (1895) &War is Kind (1899)

ALL PURCHASES COME WITH SCORE AND PARTS

When I was a young child and I would ask my mother for something she would often, in the midst of all her busy jobs, say to me, “Oh, give me a minuet!�, meaning jokingly a minute, of course, before she could tend to my wishes.  This meant that I grew up believing that a minuet and a minute meant the same thing and could be equally interchanged. You can then imagine my amazement and amusement at around 13/14 years of age when I discovered through my music studies that a minuet was in fact a type of musical form and dance! Therefore, it went without saying that at some point in my music writing life I just HAD to write my Mum a minuet! So, here is the minuet she so often unwittingly asked me for throughout our lives! She attended the premiere of the Flute, violin and piano arrangement in Bolton, UK, and was highly amused (and not a little chuffed) by the story behind the piece!

Naturally, the piece is dedicated to my mother, Margaret (Pearl) Denny, and was finally written in June 2015 for Gary Woolf and the Banda Di Musica in Germany.

Its duration is about 7/8 minutes long and it is intended for junior strings. Violins 1 and 2 are of moderate difficulty, while the Violin 3/violas, cellos/basses are simpler.

There is a violin solo throughout (moderate difficulty), to be played by the Leader, but is not a concerto-style solo, but rather one that weaves in and out of the texture throughout the piece.

The piece is in a minuet and Trio style and is light, tuneful and fun.

 

There are 3 arrangements available:

No.1 – School Arrangement: Violins 1, 2 and 3, Cellos 1 and 2

No.2 – Standard Arrangement: Violins 1 and 2, violas, cellos, Double basses

No.3 – Violin, flute and piano.  This arrangement is of a more advanced standard than the string orchestra arrangements and would suit players of approximately grade 7 upwards.

Composed by Carson Cooman. 20th Century,Contemporary,Standards. Score and parts. 71 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #3041103. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.533709).

I. Chaconne: ...a continuum of dreams...
II. Cadenza
III. Toccata

Concerto for Bass Saxophone and Strings (1999) was commissioned by bass
saxophonist Andreas van Zoelen (with generous support from the Broeker Fund for
New Music) and is dedicated with appreciation and admiration to him. Van Zoelen is
committed to enhancing the very small existing bass saxophone repertoire through
supporting the creation and performance of new works. The subtitle of the first
movement (...a continuum of dreams...) could be seen as a sort of subtitle for the
entire work that sets the mood and provides unification for the entire piece. The first
movement is a slow and ethereal chaconne. The strings and the saxophone interact in
various ways throughout this movement in non-traditional form. There are actually
two ground bass themes; one is introduced at the beginning with pizzicato strings
but soon moves to the background (although it is almost always present). The second
is presented near the end of the work and eventually the two are combined. The
interval of an augmented fourth (tritone) has special use throughout the movement
as a variety of themes and motifs are transformed throughout. The second movement
is a cadenza for the unaccompanied saxophone. The third movement is a fast and
wild toccata. The saxophone plays almost without rest for the entire movement. A
middle section recalls the theme of augmented fourths from the first movement.
Heavy use is made of pizzicato strings. The saxophone part for this movement is
highly virtuosic, exploring the full possibilities and range of the instrument.

This is the score and solo part only.  The parts are on rental from the publisher.
