High Voice,Vocal Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.845948 Composed by Maria Thompson Corley. 20th Century,Concert,Contemporary. 20 pages. Maria Thompson Corley #6265255. Published by Maria Thompson Corley (A0.845948). These four songs were commissioned by Louise Toppin. The texts are by and about the composer's late brother, Terry (1963-88). The first, For Terry, has whole tone harmonies. Poem has a gospel/funk feel with a short moment of reggae. L'orangerie is distinctly French in its inspiration. The poignant final song, The Visitor, quotes Mendelssohn's Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, which was the only piano piece Terry would play on request. He always stopped after the easy part. The text is based on a dream the composer had a few months after her brother's death.

High Voice,Vocal Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.955849 Composed by Giovanni Girolamo Kapsperger. Arranged by Scott S. Stewart. Baroque,Concert,Instructional,Standards. 7 pages. Scott S. Stewart #6448577. Published by Scott S. Stewart (A0.955849). The original secular lute song, Gia risi, was composed in Italian, with a basso continuo accompaniment.  It was first published in 1619 in Libro terzo di villanelle, No.2.  This modern arrangement is for soprano or tenor voice and keyboard and hopes to awaken a new appreciation of Kapsperger’s genius.  A variety to the accompaniment, and embellishment to the vocal line for each verse of this strophic composition, provides a practical solution for modern recital hall performance.  This piece is a fine introduction to the early Baroque style. Performance time: 3:58+
