Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.835452 Composed by Stuart Brown. 20th Century,Contemporary,World. Octavo. 211 pages. Stuart Brown Music #5990681. Published by Stuart Brown Music (A0.835452). A fantastic offer price for the full score and all parts! ... Looking for something to add a sense of oriental exoticism to your amateur orchestral/choral concert? This may be what you're looking for! This charming little suite of six dances lasts about 15½ minutes. It consists of a Pavane, Bourée, Sarabande, Allemande, Basse Danse and Galliard, which vary widely in character. As a whole the suite provides some interesting challenges for both performers and listeners. Apart from conventional strings, flute and harp (which can be either pedal or lever) you will need:- One or maybe two Arabian ouds. The parts are playable also on a fretless acoustic guitar. (Needs to be fretless because of the quarter-tones in some of the Arabic modes used.)- A cimbalom (the part can be played on a piano also, with slight modification). You might get away with using a hammered dulcimer but you'd need to make a number of compromises.- A doumbek and a djembe. These beautiful drums are a must for Middle-Eastern or African music. They're fairly easy to find, though finding somebody who can play them properly may take a bit more doing!- Finger cymbals and a gong. These are regular western instruments.- A wind-chime. Anything that produces a nice shimmering spangle of sound will probably do!- A group of singers (SATB). Nothing particularly challenging but see below.The primary oud part, the strings and the singers need to have sufficiently good intonation to pitch quarter tones. These are the exception rather than the rule, but nevertheless play an important part in the character of the music. Apart from this, the music is relatively straightforward and probably playable by any reasonably competent amateur or high school orchestra.In the spring of 2020 I wrote a set of short music tracks for a charity of which I'm a trustee. In order to protect my intellectual property rights in the music, I decided to bring it together into an attractive if not intellectually challenging little suite, hence An Omani Dance Suite. Originally the dances were all in Arabic quarter-tone temperament, but obviously quarter-tones cannot be played easily (if at all) on the flute, harp and cimbalom. So I have made some adjustments but retained the Arabic temperament wherever reasonably possible. I had thought initially of using a santur instead of a cimbalom, but the santur lacks the range and the dynamic capability to be used with a string chamber orchestra. The cimbalom doesn't need to be a concert grand model; in fact it doesn't even need to have dampers.The Omani was something of an afterthought: a musician friend of mine had worked in Oman and commented on how authentically Omani the Basse Danse sounded. The period of composition coincided with a time when I was really missing friends in Vietnam and Romania, so somehow influences from those countries found their way into the music.I'm not bothering with performing rights for this - just go away and enjoy the music! ... but if it inspires you find out more about the charity work that inspires me, feel free to get in touch!https://www.facebook.com/stuartbrownmusic/

Choral Choir,Choral,SATB Chorus divisi - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1402556 Composed by Thomas Tallis. Arranged by John Ross. 21st Century,A Cappella,Religious,Renaissance,Sacred. 45 pages. John Ross #985777. Published by John Ross (A0.1402556). “Loquebantur, -bantur, -bantur� is based on 'Loquebantur variis linguis' by Thomas Tallis. The words are from the responsory for 1st Vespers at Pentecost and tell of the Apostles beginning to speak in many tongues, proclaiming the great works of God. In this reworking, vocal parts gradually move away from the Tallis original, taking musical ideas from the soprano saxophone part and “speaking in tongues�. The opening interplay between sax and solo tenor uses notes from the Intonation, creating the “-bantur, -bantur� figure which gives this arrangement its title. As the piece proceeds individual vocal lines gradually speak in the tongues suggested by the sax. By the end, the joyful combination of many musical ideas is crowned by the ecstatic saxophone part. The “tongues� ideas are shown in the score by added phrasing and by using lyrics in italics. These fragments should be sung a little more prominently, allowing them to pop out above the overall texture. An additional tenor line has been added, making the piece’s scoring SSAATTBB plus saxophone.

Choral Choir (SATB divisi) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.888144 By Bryan Adams. By Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance. Arranged by Erin Craig. A Cappella,Contemporary,Pop. Octavo. 10 pages. Erin Craig #4575997. Published by Erin Craig (A0.888144). This is an accessible a cappella arrangement of Bryan Adams' hit Summer of '69. The vocal lines are harmonically intuitive, and singers will enjoy switching between singing the lyrics, and singing fun non-lexical sounds of a backup band. This is a great piece to learn and refine a cappella singing and intonation, as the harmonies and voice-leading are intuitive. A piano reduction is included for rehearsal purposes.The rhythms are accessible, and there is minimal divisi - only about 8 measures in the soprano line. If you have a small choir, or a choir without evenly balanced sections, this would be a satisfying piece to work on with them.This would work well for a beginning vocal jazz ensemble, or an intermediate SATB choir, and could easily start or end a concert.Duration: ~3'30arranged by Erin Craig www.ErinCraig.ca

Choral Choir,Choral (SATB) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1096166 Composed by Karen Ivana. 21st Century,A Cappella,Christian,Christmas,Medieval. 4 pages. Karen Ivana #700123. Published by Karen Ivana (A0.1096166). This carol is set to words taken from a Medieval lyric (circa 1400) which may be one of the oldest poems in the English language about Mary and Jesus. It has been described as one of the first Christmas carols, and tells of the Annunciation, where the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary telling her she would bear a child.This music is for four part mixed choir (SATB) and is based on a beautiful original folk tune (in Phrygian mode) and takes harmonic inspiration from early music but with a twentieth century English feel. It is gentle and reflective with some gorgeous harmonies and melodies; a successful performance requires a reasonable level of intonation and phrasing.
