Composed by by Australian composer, Rebecca Summers. Children,Holiday,Pop. Score. 6 pages. Rebecca Summers #3884837. Published by Rebecca Summers (A0.1007857).

Perfect for a school Father's Day ceremony, uplifting lyrics, intermediate keyboard part.

Lyrics
Can't you understand you're number one?
Important as the moonshine, essential as the sun
that shines so bright when we're together
I hate when we're apart
You're in my soul forever, the father of my heart.
You're in my soul forever, the father of my heart.

Can't you understand you matter more
than any other person, it's you I'm searching for
amongst the crowded rows of people
at the finish and the start.
I'll look to you forever, the father of my heart.
I'll look to you forever, the father of my heart.

Chorus
It's not too late. It's not too late.
It's not too late we've got the day together.
It's not too late I don't care 'bout the weather.
It's not too late and some day when we're older
 my baby sitting on your shoulder
I hope I'm wonderin' if she feels the same.

Don't you understand it's not too late
To throw out your 'to-do' list and to celebrate
a Happy Father's Day together
 this year's our brand new start.
Do you hear my wishes, the father of my heart.
Do you hear my wishes, the father of my heart.

SKU: A0.1315461

Composed by Francis Poulenc and Guillaume Apollinaire. Arranged by Nicole Elyse DiPaolo. 20th Century,Classical. Score. 11 pages. Nicole Elyse DiPaolo #904195. Published by Nicole Elyse DiPaolo (A0.1315461).

The first of its kind, this is a genuinely playable piano/vocal reduction of Non Monsieur mon mari from Poulenc and Apollinaire's Les mamelles de Tiresias. Sopranos who love this aria no longer need to fear bringing it in for auditions, last-minute performing engagements, or other situations in which the pianist may have to sight-read from the chaotic, poorly notated, and technically demanding vocal score devoid of needed key signatures. Pianists may now enjoy playing this aria comfortably, without risking strain/injury by trying to play reams of excessive 16ths spread out in ways designed for Poulenc's obviously large hands. A few enharmonic respellings in this edition will also provide greater musical understanding for both singers and pianists.

This collectionâ??s reductions boast several unique features:

1. No reduction ever requires stretches of over an octave, not including bass notes meant to be held or â??fudgedâ?� with the pedal (though octaves may also contain chord tones within them). This reduces the amount of rearranging that smaller-handed pianists must already do. Obviously, further reworkings are to be expected and pianists should feel free to add to or modify what Iâ??ve provided.
2. Iâ??ve included less essential, but potentially desirable additional voices/passages in cue-size noteheads so that pianists can easily see them, but know that they are not necessary in a â??sink or swimâ?� accompanying situation. Presenting less essential material in cue-size noteheads also reduces visual clutter on the page.
3. In addition to the composerâ??s markings, when needed, I have included hints on particular notes to bring out when the singer is likely to need them as a pitch anchor or when it is not obvious which line should be brought out within the texture.
4. All page turns have been carefully selected, when possible, so as to result in the least possible disruption to the pianist. When an inevitable page turn precedes a potentially surprising note or chord, Iâ??ve included the next downbeatâ??s notes in cue-size stemless noteheads at the end of the preceding measure.
5. I have preserved beams in 8th and smaller note values within the vocal parts so that pianists, some of whom might not be accustomed to syllabic beaming conventions, will find it easier to follow the singerâ??s rhythms while reading potentially unfamiliar arias.
6. When known, Iâ??ve noted alternate cuts that singers might like to take within certain arias.
7. In some cases Iâ??ve modernized spelling conventions for easier readability (for example, by replacing â??Ã?â?� with â??ssâ?� in German arias) and enharmonically respelled brief passages or added key signatures for greater clarity.

SKU: A0.1297753

Composed by Civilla D. Martin and Charles H. Gabriel. Arranged by Maria Thompson Corley. Sacred. Score. 9 pages. Maria Thompson Corley #887728. Published by Maria Thompson Corley (A0.1297753).

This score is a transcription of an improvisation recorded for Soul Sanctuary, a collection of my arrangements of hymns and spirituals released by Navona in 2022. It should be performed with great freedom and expression. The metronome mark is only for reference. I’ve simplified Maria Clark’s vocal line; the singer is free to either sing this as written or create their own embellishments.

Composed by Pasquale Cafaro. Arranged by Nicole Elyse DiPaolo. Classical,Early Music,Opera. Score. 7 pages. Nicole Elyse DiPaolo #773780. Published by Nicole Elyse DiPaolo (A0.1173633).

Accessible Accompaniments is proud to present the first-ever modern-clef performing edition of Pasquale Cafaro’s once enormously popular aria, “Belle luci, che accendete,� from La disfatta di Dario (1756). As noted in Giorgio Sanguinetti’s The Art of Partimento and other sources, this aria was considered the ideal Galant-era (early Classical) example of aria writing in its day, and its theme was even painted onto pottery to be sold to tourists in Naples.



While the aria was written for a castrato role, Alessandro, it is ideal for today’s young lyric coloratura sopranos who want to prepare for Mozart roles but wish to wait until they’ve found their mature vocal technique before tackling those roles. Additionally, because this La disfatta di Dario setting is a rarity and singers are unlikely to be hired for this role, it could be sung in transposition by young mezzos and other fachs without causing logistical issues like the need to produce orchestral parts in new keys.



Other aspects of this aria that make it a welcome addition to the voice teacher’s library are its widespread orchestral doubling of the vocal line (something that will help students who are still working on intonation and support), its relatively short, Italian-language text for easy memorization and diction acquisition, and its straightforward textual content—it’s a love song. In audition situations, this aria will be enjoyable for panels to hear, and because they will be very unlikely to know the aria, they won’t be able to critique it as closely as they would critique an aria they know well. It should also be sight-readable by an audition pianist of middling skill, another important consideration in choosing audition repertoire.



This new edition was engraved using Bernardo Mengozzi’s piano-vocal reduction from 1804, which preserves the soprano clef voice part and is not widely usable today, and I made some corrections to missing accidentals and articulations by cross-checking with the manuscript full score. Both are available at imslp.org. I also write out the appoggiatura executions and one potentially confusing polyrhythm on ossia staves to assist young singers/collaborative pianists who haven’t done much of this repertoire.

Range: Eb4-Bb5 without ornamentation
Tessitura: around Bb4-F5/G5

 

Text:

Belle luci, che accendete
In quest' alma un dolce foco,
Siete voi, e voi sarete
La mia calma, e il mio piacer.

Sì, la calma, e il piacer mio
Tutto, e sempre in voi s'aggira,
Per voi solo il cor respira,
Nè più brama il mio pensier.

They warned others to be very quiet as to not awaken Jesus if he was sleeping. This is in SATB parts with violin and piano accompaniment. It has a unique intro and the last verse has SATB taking turns. cdboss@cvalley.net

Bring a Torch Jeanette, Isabella

French Carol

Arranged by Connie Boss

 

Bring a torch

Bring a torch

Bring a torch

Bring a torch Jeanette, Isabella.

 

Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella!

Bring a torch, to the stable call

Christ is born, tell the folk of the village

Jesus is born and Mary's calling.

Ah![a] Ah! Beautiful is the Mother!

Ah! Ah! Beautiful is her Child

 

Who is knocking on the door?

Who is it, knocking like that?

Open up, we've arranged on a platter

Lovely cakes that we have brought here

Knock! Knock! Open the door for us!

Knock! Knock! Let us celebrate!

 

It is wrong when the Child is sleeping,

It is wrong to speak so loud.

Silence, now as you gather around Him

Lest your noise should waken Jesus.

Hush! Hush! See how He slumbers;

Hush! Hush! See how He's fast asleep!

 

Softly now unto the stable,

Softly for a moment come!

Look and see how charming is Jesus,

Look at Him there,] His cheeks are rosy!

Hush! Hush! See how the Child is sleeping;

Hush! Hush! See how He smiles in His dreams

Composed by Ira Levin and Milton Schafer. Arranged by Daniele Buatti. Broadway,Musical/Show,Standards. Score. 5 pages. Daniele Buatti #886488. Published by Daniele Buatti (A0.1296244).

This arrangement includes multiple HORN and STRING cues. Not all of them are playable, so please use your discretion to select the most suitable parts. I've omitted the original melody. Much of this should be performed in a Jazz Ballad style, allowing for comping and ad-libbing as desired.

This arrangement closely replicates the original orchestration of the song and offers more comprehensive accompaniment than the standard piano/vocal sheet available for purchase.
