Film/TV,Latin,Wedding. Score and parts. 14 pages. Nonamé Música #697515. Published by Nonamé Música (A0.1093433). (English below) Famosa por su aparición en la cabecera de la telenovela mexicana Sin Rastro de Ti, esta canción de Carlos Rivera ha sido arreglada por Luis para Nonamé por encargo de un novio para sorprender a su prometida en su boda. Romántica letra y romántica música, el tema empieza en la viola y va pasando por todos los instrumentos, incluido el cello. En el primer estribillo los dos violines se hacen eco en cada semifrase, cuidado para encajar eso. También importantes solos de la viola al final y una escalita incómoda para el violin 1 hacia el final. Todos los instrumentos deben respetar, en la dinámica, al que lleva en cada momento la voz cantante. Todas las partituras de Nonamé están preparadas para evitar los pasos de página si se imprimen con las portadas correctamente. Arcos y dinámicas suficientes para que funcionen a primera vista. Famous for its appearance in the title credits of the Mexican novel Sin Rastro de Ti, this song by Carlos Rivera has been arranged by Luis for Nonamé on behalf of a groom to surprise his fiancée at their wedding. Romantic lyrics and romantic music, the viola starts the theme, that sounds through all the instruments, including the cello. In the first chorus the two violins echo each half-phrase, careful to match that. Also important viola solos at the end and an awkward little scale for violin 1 towards the end. All the instruments must respect, in the dynamics, the one who leads the singing voice all the time. All Nonamé arrangements are prepared to avoid page turns if they are printed with the covers correctly. Bowings and dynamics are enough in order to get a good sightreading.

String Quartet Cello,Double Bass,Piano,String Quartet,Viola,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1376321 By Heidi Savoie. By Heidi Savoie. Arranged by Heidi Savoie. Classical,Contemporary,Jazz,Pop,Singer/Songwriter. 15 pages. Heidi Savoie #960865. Published by Heidi Savoie (A0.1376321). This score is an arrangement for piano, violin I and II, viola, cello, bass with optional drums.Backstory: Years ago I wrote a simple piano piece for my students. As instrumental music can fully exist outside the confines of words, it can be difficult to find the right title for something that is pure sound and possibility. I took inspiration from the time of year in which I had composed it and stamped it, “Almost May�. Like springtime in the Northern Hemisphere, “Almost May� unfolds slowly and majestically, with ever-evolving layers for the senses to discover. What to listen for: ThemeThe main theme is first presented by the piano with minimal fanfare. This part was written to be easy enough for a child, which despite being sparing of notes, delivers rich harmonic content. Every note has been carefully curated for the optimal combination of accessibility and depth. Weaving chromatically into distantly-related keys, the melody takes small steps into contrasting musical spaces. In a wordless procession, the storyline plays out, as if the theme discovers that someone very different lives next door, and they slowly become inseparable. The piano is accompanied by an airy touch of brushes against a snare drum, like the pitter patter of soft feline steps. In the low frequency range, the upright bass supports and deepens the tonal palette with its earthy underpinnings. What to listen for: Variation I The unmistakable string section arrives like a breath of warm air. Lush, warm and reassuring like sunshine on your cheeks, the string parts begin with long tones. This broadness and stability will evolve into more layers of complexity throughout the section. While the role of the string section is background accompaniment, it undergoes textural changes which allow for some layers to briefly rise to the forefront as melody. Careful listening to the string parts will reveal an oceanic churning, a motion from background to foreground with expansions and contractions along the way. Floating overtop this density is the improvised piano solo, with ascending gestures that progress in detail and density. Each instrument enters a general unfolding and growth period in the first variation. The bass and drums include more fills than before, as the ensemble tends gradually toward more grandeur. What to listen for: Variation II The final variation opens with a decadent treatment of the melody. What was initially expressed by a soloist as a childlike plea is reimagined as a two-part conversation between the piano and lead viola. The obbligato voiced in the viola is a derivation of the melody that holds the space between phrases so the listener's attention is passed seamlessly between the piano and viola part. This dialogue features commentary on the original melody in the form of ornamentation and taking surprising pathways to expected destinations. The rhythm section (bass and drums) takes more liberties in creating a verdant soundscape as the ensemble rises to a final climax. Credits: I would like to thank Cole Canaday for the nuance, imagination and depth of understanding with which he brought this piece to life. I would also like to thank Blake Hamilton and Anastace for providing invaluable audio engineering feedback.

String Quartet String Quartet - Digital Download SKU: A0.1025506 Composed by Brooke Richey. 20th Century,Contemporary,Instructional,Standards. Score and parts. 14 pages. Wasp & Fig Sounds #4821493. Published by Wasp & Fig Sounds (A0.1025506). Built from a tone-row, Paradox goes to highlight the tensions and strains we experience when trying to work with one another. The piece begins with the voices of each instrument in separate octaves, far and distanced. Gradually throughout the piece the notes and rhythms move closer and closer together. By use of a palindrome a paradox takes place, bringing the voices to move together in support of one another, characterized with a solo on the viola. From here all voices join on the same motif to close in tight rhythmic movement and dissonant harmonies.For more information about the composer, please visit waspandfigsounds.com

Duration: ca.: 1:00Frank Zappa was an American composer, multi-instrumentalist, and music producer who was active from the 1960s to the 1990s. He is best known for his experimental and avant-garde style of music, which often incorporated elements of rock, jazz, and classical music. One of his most famous pieces is Igor's Boogie, a jazz-influenced instrumental that was first recorded for his 1971 album Chunga's Revenge.Igor's Boogie is a frenetic, energetic piece that is propelled by a driving bass line and a raucous saxophone solo. Zappa himself played all of the instruments on the track, including the guitar, bass, drums, and saxophone. The song also features an array of sound effects and a number of spoken interjections, all of which add to its frenetic energy. The song was popular in the early 1970s, and was covered by numerous artists including the jazz fusion group Return to Forever. Igor's Boogie remains one of Zappa's most popular and enduring compositions, and is a testament to his skill as a composer and musician.

String quartet - difficult - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q6234 Composed by Chaya Czernowin. This edition: score and parts. Downloadable, Score and parts. Duration 14 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q6234. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q6234). In this work, the quartet becomes a single composite instrument. This instrument cannot play individual sounds but rather composite gestures, of which the initial impulse linked to the production of a sound is an integral element. In a journey to Thailand, I visited Wat Arun, “the Temple of Dawn.� First from a distance, it appeared as a majestic looming tower possessing a monolithic form. It was then of extreme surprise to proceed closer only to discover that the tower was actually comprised from thousands of small shards of ceramic plates. From the closer perspectival proximity, these small shards created intricate filigreed patterns. The play between the presence of the temple’s totality and its fractured parts helped to provide both the material and formal conceptions for this quartet. The piece is built from three movements with two “sonic windows� between them. In the first movement, the composite sounds are introduced and form phrases interjections, and a part of a song; the second movement is similar to an improvisation using these composite sounds; the last movement is a speech composed of the fragments from the first two movements. The piece is dedicated to the Arditti String Quartet. – Chaya Czernowin & Steven Kazuo Takasugi.
