Concert Band - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.978107 Composed by Francisca Gonzaga (Chiquinha Gonzaga 1847-1935). Arranged by Idalmo Santos. 20th Century,Latin,World. Score and parts. 23 pages. Idalmo Santos #6679863. Published by Idalmo Santos (A0.978107). The famous Corta-jaca, the name with which the tango Gaúcho became popular, is one of Chiquinha Gonzaga's most recorded and best-known songs, along with Ó abre alas, Lua branca, and Atraente. It was born on the stages of musical theaters, where it was danced in the final scene of the burlesque operetta of national costumes Zizinha Maxixe, imitated from French by an anonymous author, performed at the Teatro Éden Lavradio, in August 1895. Actor Machado Careca (José Machado Pinheiro e Costa), the anonymous author of the play, ended up putting verses to the music of Corta-jaca, helping to popularize it, especially after his version was recorded on disc by the duo Os Geraldos. Throughout history, Corta-jaca frequented other stages and repertoires: café-cantante, chope-berrante, rodas de choro... But it was at the Palácio do Catete, in 1914, that it achieved its glory. Performed on the guitar by first lady Nair de Teffé, it caused political scandal and ended up nicknaming the administration of Hermes da Fonseca. The reaction can be measured by the impassioned speech that Senator Rui Barbosa made from the rostrum. When asked what was the corta-jaca he had heard so much about, he concluded: The lowest, the most vulgar, the rudest of all wild dances, the twin sister of batuque, cateretê and samba. But at presidential receptions the corta-jaca is performed with all the honors of Wagner's music, and one does not want the conscience of this country to revolt, our faces to blush and the youth to laugh! Never before in the history of Brazil had eminently popular music been performed at the seat of government, in front of the diplomatic corps and the country's elite. Corta-jaca has become a classic of the great repertoire of Brazilian instrumental music, meriting recordings by, among others, Abel Ferreira, Altamiro Carrilho, Antonio Adolfo, Artur Moreira Lima, Clara Sverner, Conjunto Regional do Donga, Eudóxia de Barros, Guio de Morais, Itamar Assieré, Leandro Braga, Marcus Viana, Maria Teresa Madeira, Marcelo Verzoni, Paulo Moura, Radamés Gnatalli, Rosária Gatti, Talitha Peres, Turíbio Santos, countless bands, and some sung versions. It was written by the maestro also for singing and piano and small orchestra: oboe, viola, timpani, horns (bass), bassoon.

Concert Band - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.533052 Composed by Germaine Tailleferre. Arranged by Paul Wehage. 20th Century,Contemporary,Instructional. Score and parts. 17 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #432815. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.533052). In the late 1990s, a score was found in Germaine Tailleferre’s papers with the title page “Choral et Fugue pour orchestre d’harmonie� and a dedication “à L'Harmonie Municipale de Lyon�. The pages which followed contained the score of “Choral� for organ with optional brass and “Fugue� for orchestra. When the late composer Desiré Dondeyne was consulted concerning this score, he confirmed that this work had been projected, but refused to say anything further on the subject. Research was undertaken to try to locate a scale in the municipal archives of the City of Lyons (as the Municipal Band no longer exists) but proved to be unsucessful. It is unclear whether or not Tailleferre intended to undertake this work herself or if she intended to entrust it (as she often did) to Dondeyne. In any case, it would appear that the concert band version for this work was probably never completed. Paul Wehage, a longtime scholar of the works of Tailleferre, has undertaken the orchestration of this work The Fugue movement remains close to Tailleferre’s original version for orchestra. The choral section is entirely rescored.

Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.532889). Starting from James Pierpont’s classic holiday song, this piece is a irreverental set of five variations which present the well-known in several unusual contexts: an exotic dance in a South American style, a Yiddish Waltz, a burlesque number which features a quartet of soloists. After a much more tame “Chorale-Prélude�, the fughetta on the verse (“Dashing Through the Snow�) leads to a finial exposition of the theme in a Toccata style. Piccolo Flute I and II Oboe I and II English Horn Bassoon 1 and II Eb clarinet Bb clarinet I, II and III Alto Clarinet Bass Clarinet Alto Saxophone I and II Tenor Saxophone Baritone Saxophone Bb Trumpet I, II and III F Horn I, II, III, and IV Trombone I, II and III Baritone I and II Tuba Timpani Percussion 1: snare drum, hit hat cymbal, suspended cymbal, triangle Percussion II: two temple blocks, Bass drum, crash cymbals, three toms, triangle Percussion III: chimes, xylophone This contains the full score.

Published by Imagine Music - Digital (IZ.CBS1613). 9 x 12 in inches.Composer's NotesFor several years I taught at a private Catholic school, the Bascillica School of St. Paul. I was exposed to some beautiful melodies from the weekly Masses, including one I particularly remembered, but which was under copyright. So I decided to create a similar modal line and open the composition as if it were being sung in a church. I play the French horn which is why I chose that voice to express the theme. The variations which followed were to begin as historically simple, but move toward a more contemporary sound. I have always loved the percussive sound of Vaclav Nelhybell's music and that is what I intended for the ending.

Published by Sarah Ruth Wilson (A0.997120). This is a beautiful chorale arranged for concert band. It can be used for technical purposes (warming up/tuning, for example) or for a performance piece showcasing tone and sensitivity. It can be used art the beginning of every rehearsal, and performers can even sing their parts as an additional exercise. It is a sacred piece of music, but is completely appropriate for students and schools. I use it with my own concert bands. It would be appropriate in religious settings as well. The accompanying mp3 track can be used a a reference for learning the piece. It is brief, lasting about 1.25 minutes.
