SKU: A0.904850

By Cyndi Lauper. By Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly. Arranged by Marco Borsoi. Pop. 11 pages. Marco Borsoi #3868761. Published by Marco Borsoi (A0.904850).

True Colors, usually attributed to Cyndi Lauper, was actually written by Billy Steinberg, who initially conceived it as a ballad to devote to his mother. Tom Kelly advised him to change the first stanza, to make the song more salable in the international music scene, and together they proposed their song to the American singer Cyndi Lauper, who agreed to interpret it, provided that he could completely modify the arrangement. The original score was in fact in the form of a gospel ballad with accompaniment to the piano.

A too traditional choice for Cyndi, who submitted her new version to Billy and Tom, getting their enthusiastic consent. Thus, in 1986, it was born True Colors, one of the most important songs of the pop artist. This single force on the text and trust that convey the words, so much to be interpreted by various international artists such as Phil Collins and Lily Juniper.

-----------

True Colors, solitamente attribuita a Cyndi Lauper, è stata scritta in realtà da Billy Steinberg, che la concepì inizialmente come una ballata da dedicare a sua madre. Tom Kelly gli consigliò di modificare la prima strofa, per rendere il brano più vendibile nel panorama musicale internazionale e insieme proposero la loro canzone alla cantante statunitense Cyndi Lauper, che accettò di interpretarla, a patto che ne potesse modificare del tutto l’arrangiamento. Lo spartito originale si presentava infatti in forma di ballata gospel con accompagnamento al pianoforte.

Una scelta troppo tradizionale per Cyndi, la quale sottopose a Billy e Tom la sua nuova versione, ottenendo il loro consenso entusiasta. Nasce così, nel 1986, True Colors, una tra le canzoni più importanti dell’artista pop. Questo singolo fa forza sul testo e sulla fiducia che trasmettono le parole, tanto da essere interpretato anche da svariati artisti internazionali come Phil Collins e non ultima Lily Juniper.

By Franco Battiato. By Francesco Battiato and Manlio Sgalambro. Arranged by Bacco Baccanels. Contemporary. Octavo. 8 pages. Bacco Baccanels #5989447. Published by Bacco Baccanels (A0.978040).

Description is first in Italiano e then in English, since I think the song is quite famous in Italy but little known abroad.

[ITALIANO]
Arrangiare un brano di Franco Battiato è molto difficile perché la sua interpretazione staccata e narrativa, la sua voce dal timbro molto alto e l'argomento, di solito lontano nel tempo e dalla realtà ma qui estremamente vicino a raccontare l'amore in una delle fasi più intense della vita rischiano di stravolgerla. In più, ogni tentantivo di reinterpretarla con altra musica richiede di essere un artista altrettanto grande: io non sono nè grande nè artista, al limite... essere.

Ho cercato perciò di stare vicino all'orginale, riconoscibile dal motivetto in sedicesimi che si ripete per tutta la canzone.

Poiché si sa che la versione vocale stufa prima delle versioni suonate e l'originale dura 4 minuti, ho tagliato l'intera strofa Ti porterò.... 

Per chi volesse reinserirla, è facile: dalla battuta 41 si torna alla 5, si ripercorre fino alla 18 (con il testo cambiato per il solista, Ti porterò..., ma le altre voci sono identiche ) e si riprende dalla 42 fino alla fine.


[ENGLISH]
Arranging a piece by Franco Battiato it's not an easy game: lyrics are often very far in time and his singing very personal and narrative. Here the lyrics tells a love in a hard moment of life and every element is placed in a delicate balance where any change can be disruptive.

Even trying to modify the music style would require an artist of the same weight, and I am not.


So I tried to stay close to the original, using the most recognizable pattern of the song (the notes in sixteenth).

Since we know that the vocal versions have to be shorter than the played ones (ears get bored before) and the original song if 4 minutes long, I cut the entire verse Ti porterò.... For those who want to play also the missing part, it’s easy: from bar 41 go back to bar 5, sing up to bar 18 (with the lyrics changed for the lead, Ti porterò..., other voices do not change) and then go ahead to bar 42 and from there to the end.

Evocative Choral Setting of Emily Brontë's Fall, Leaves, Fall Perfect for Fall Concerts

Fall, leaves, fall; die flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me,
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night's decay
Ushers in a drearier day.

--Emily Brontë

By Paul Heatley. By Paul Heatley. Arranged by Paul Heatley. Christmas,Classical,Praise & Worship,Sacred,Spiritual. Octavo. 8 pages. Paul K Heatley #681294. Published by Paul K Heatley (A0.1077136).

Liberator is from a collection of Psalm-based songs composed by Paul K Heatley while participating in an artist residency program run by Fuller Seminary for which Paul was sponsored by his local church in Pasadena, CA. The song is a setting of the Magnificat from Luke's gospel with words taken from The Voice, a New Testament translation created with artists and musicians in mind. Once Paul had decided to use this translation, the music seemed to flow naturally from the words, resulting in a classical-style piece with a format very like a modern song (it even has a middle-eight, though it's in a different key). Mary's prophetic song is arranged here for SATB with a strong soprano part, but can also be sung as a soprano solo.

Composed by David W. Barber. A Cappella,Christian,Sacred. 4 pages. David W. Barber #952445. Published by David W. Barber (A0.1368090).

This little choral prayer has a text from St. Anselm of Canterbury (ca. 1330), slightly revised by me to make it more inclusive. “Illuminate and inspire, we beseech thee, all thinkers, writers, artists and crafters.†And I love that it allows us “to rejoice in beauty.†I found this text on the wall of a side chapel in Canterbury Cathedral in 1983 and set it originally in 1984 as a memorial to one of my uncles, my father’s brother, who was a skilled landscape artist. I later revised it as one of the movements of my Requiem, composed in 1994 (revised ’95).

This is a beautiful and accessible 21st Century, Neo-Romantic a cappella setting of the Spanish Hail Mary prayer (Dios te salve, María) for SATB chorus, perfect for choirs ranging from high school to college and beyond. It also includes an alternate setting of the Latin Ave Maria prayer for those who might prefer that. (Here’s a link to the premiere performance: https://soundcloud.com/musicoalex/dios-te-salve-maria?in=musicoalex/sets/my-compositions.)

A versatile musician, Alex Guerrero, whose setting of Tenebrae factae sunt was a prize winner in The New York Virtuoso Singers’ composition competition, always strives to write lyrical music that’s not only beautiful, but singable. He’s also an accomplished singer whose vast experience greatly informs his compositional style. As an operatic lyric tenor he performs with the Choruses at The Metropolitan Opera and Lyric Opera of Chicago; as a concert soloist his repertoire spans from Bach cantatas, Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, and frequent premieres of new music; and he has many years of experience performing as a chamber and concert choral artist with some of the premier ensembles in the US that include Yale Choral Artists and the Grammy Award-winning True Concord, as well as the symphonic choruses alongside world-renown orchestras like The Philadelphia Orchestra and The New York Philharmonic. He’s also an active liturgical musician in churches and synagogues with many years of experience serving in congregations of many different denominations: in New York City he’s served in the choirs at Temple Emanu-El, the largest Jewish Reform congregation in the US, the Anglican-style choir of men and boys at St. Thomas Church Fifth Avenue, Marble Collegiate Church, pulpit of the late Norman Vincent Peale, Congregation Shearith Israel - The Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue, an Orthodox Sephardi congregation which is the oldest Jewish congregation in North America, and is currently a staff cantor at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, one of the preeminent Roman Catholic cathedrals in the US.

Composed by Leonardo Leo. Arranged by Guido Menestrina. A Cappella,Baroque,Sacred. Octavo. 15 pages. Guido Menestrina #238145. Published by Guido Menestrina (A0.828703).

Leonardo Leo - Dixit Dominus a 2 cori, 1741, Primo movimentoEdit Published by Guido Menestrina Celebre compositore e capostipite della bella scuola napoletana del XVIII secolo, nacque a San Vito degli Schiavoni, presso Brindisi, in provincia di Terra d'Otranto. De Leo avrebbe compiuto i suoi studi musicali al conservatorio della Pietà dei Turchini, sotto la direzione di Nicola Fago, soprannominato il tarentino[1]. Girolamo Chigi, maestro di Cappella di San Giovanni in Laterano, allievo e amico di Pitoni, dice che de Leo si recò a Roma e che vi studiò il contrappunto sotto la guida di questo sapiente maestro. Di ritorno a Napoli, de Leo ottenne il posto di secondo maestro al conservatorio della Pietà. Nel 1716 fu nominato organista della cappella reale e l'anno successivo venne designato per occupare il posto di maestro di cappella della chiesa di Santa Maria della Solitaria, per la quale scrisse molta musica. Nel 1719 fece rappresentare la Sofonisba, sua prima opera seria che fu ben accolta e in cui il carattere espressivo del suo talento si faceva già notare. I biografi che sostengono abbia insegnato al conservatorio di Loreto s'ingannano, fu infatti prima al conservatorio della Pietà, poi a quello di Sant'Onofrio, dove ebbe per allievi alcuni dei compositori più illustri del XVIII secolo, come Jommelli e Piccinni. Non morì nel 1743, come dice lo stesso Piccinni, in una breve notizia biografica sul suo maestro, né nel 1742 come afferma Burney, ma nel 1744. Il marchese di Villarosa, riferisce che de Leo sarebbe stato colpito da apoplessia, mentre era intento a scrivere un'aria buffa de La finta frascatana che comincia con queste parole: Voi par che gite/di palo in frasca. Lo si trovò con la testa appoggiata sul suo clavicembalo e si credette, in un primo momento che dormisse, ma in realtà aveva già cessato di vivere. Leo era di taglia media, colorito bruno, occhio vivo e temperamento ardente. Sebbene fosse abitualmente piuttosto serioso, non mancava di urbanità e gentilezza. Infaticabile nella professione, passava spesso la maggior parte delle notti a comporre e si trovava sempre in vena- Amava le sue opere, ma rendeva giustizia al merito dei suoi rivali quando occorreva. Morì rimpianto da tutti, lasciando a lungo il ricordo di sé e delle sue opere, nonché della scuola di cui fu uno dei fondatori. Considerazioni sull'artista Leo condivide col suo predecessore Alessandro Scarlatti e i contemporanei Nicola Porpora, Francesco Durante e Francesco Feo, la gloria di aver fondato la scuola di Napoli, da cui sono usciti, durante tutto un secolo, una moltitudine di compositori drammatici di prim'ordine. Egli stesso fu non soltanto un grande professore, ma un artista dei più dotati. La sua musica da chiesa non ha meno maestà di quella di Durante, tocca il cuore e fa nascere degli slanci di tenera devozione. Il suo Miserere a due cori è una composizione tanto notevole per l'elevatezza dei sentimenti che l'hanno dettata, quanto per la purezza di stile in cui si riconoscono le tracce della scuola cantoria romana in cui studiò. Nella sua musica sacra nello stile accompagnato e concertato, de Leo conserva la semplicità e si fa ammirare per la bellezza dell'espressione, come l'Ave Maris Stella per voce di soprano e orchestra o il Credo a quattro. Egualmente notevole nel genere teatrale, de Leo è sempre nobile, spesso patetico e appassionato ed è con questi mezzi, molto semplici, che perviene a grandi effetti. Piccinni fa i più grandi elogi alle sue opere, e cita in particolare l'aria Misero pargoletto da Demoofonte come modello di espressione drammatica, quest'aria è, in effetti, della più grande bellezza, anche Arteaga è prodigo di elogi verso questo musicista Segui lo spartito qui/Follow the score here: http://youtu.be/q3iMskZjm1Y.
