Vocal Solo,Voice - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.888281 Composed by Luiz Bonfa. Arranged by Edward David Zeliff. Contemporary. 6 pages. Edward David Zeliff #4822333. Published by Edward David Zeliff (A0.888281). This is an arrangement of the popular theme song from the film Black Orpheus. Carl Sigman added English lyrics to the original melody by Luis Bonfa and it became a huge hit in the United States. This setting emphasizes a flamenco approach to the first half of the song, and then an assertive Latin American rhythm for the remainder. This is another in a series of popular song arrangements that afford the student of classical art song and opera as well as those developing a voice in the popular idioms a chance to acquire something exotic and hugely attractive for recitals and professional engagements.

Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.575694). I was entranced by the poem translated from an ancient rune by the Rev. Kenneth Macleod and I set it to music many years ago, originally calling it The Crofter's Song. ( - see the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6LBAMfAaRk ) it concerns a poor Scottish crofter who welcomes a stranger to his humble croft, feeds and entertains him, and finds blessing, ...for the stranger was Christ. This was one of the first of my songs using the Dorian mode. The following versions are available here The original song for alto and guitar (sound sample performed by the arranger) A version for recorder quartet A version for flute and guitar A version for clarinet and guitar and A more complex version for recorder, guitar, piano and cello.

Vocal Solo,Voice - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.575953 Composed by David Warin Solomons. 20th Century,Contemporary,Instructional,Standards. 8 pages. David Warin Solomons #431377. Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.575953). Three words too many (say it in words and you cheat, you cheat the indefinable). This was originally a song, which I wrote back in my tender years, but it also works as an instrumental piece. I have therefore also provided versions on this site for guitar with: flute alto saxophone French horn English horn (cor anglais) clarinet oboe violin. After a gentle introductory major chord arpeggio, the tension of the piece comes into play from the third bar where the melody line holds and repeats an augmented 4th suspension above the guitar. This note then returns as the arpeggio chords change underneath to reveal it as a minor third of a chord related by three degrees of separation from the original - C major to E flat minor. The harmonies and melody continue to sway in their relations in a curious and yet logical progression. I have provided score and parts and also a separate version of the guitar part which provides chord names and fretboard symbols; this would make it useful for educational purposes. The sound sample is performed by the composer.

Published by Edward David Zeliff (A0.888282). Another in a series of jazz/blues torch song arrangements, this is the famous song by Thelonious Monk with its hauntingly atmospheric chords and melody. This setting makes an excellent recital item as a contrast in repertoire for the serious voice student, especially if the student is inexperienced in jazz improvisation and whose accompanist may not be that well acquainted with the jazz/blues idiom. Here the characteristic qualities of jazz and improvisation are written out and coordinated with the melody. Equally suitable for the advanced intermediate and professional levels.
