Alto Recorder,Instrumental Solo,Piano - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.898115 Composed by Carl Scheindienst (c.1800). Arranged by Douglas Brooks-Davies. Concert,Romantic Period. Score and individual part. 26 pages. Douglas Brooks-Davies #6252455. Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.898115). A new arrangement for alto or sopranino recorder with piano accompaniment. The original, entitled Variations sur l'Air Gestern Abend war Vetter Michel da (c. 1815), is for csakan in G and guitar (sounding in C). This arrangement retains the original key and fingering (csakan fingering is virtually identical to that of the recorder), and offers an accompaniment that retains the lightness and transparency of the original guitar chording.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.898093 Composed by Douglas Brooks-Davies. Christian,Christmas,Contemporary. Octavo. 7 pages. Douglas Brooks-Davies #3417453. Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.898093). Advent Anthem is an original setting of stanzas from Christina Rossetti's Advent (1858), a poem that beautifully evokes the intensity and duration of the Advent season. I have chosen the stanzas that  emphasise the pain of the waiting, and the fusion of Christ's birth with parable of the virgins awaiting the midnight arrival of the Bridegroom - in other words, the burst of joy in which the season culminates. Accompaniment for rehearsal only. Duration, 3 minutes.

Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.898095). The enchanting slow movement from Saint-Saens's Violin Concerto no 3 (Op.61), a winner for concerts, is here offered in an  arrangement for Flute Choir, including solo flute. Although difficult for the soloist, the piece translates beautifully for flute ensemble.

Recorder - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.898101 Composed by Mauro GIULIANI (1781-1828). Arranged by Douglas Brooks-Davies. Romantic Period,Standards. Recorder Ensemble. 46 pages. Douglas Brooks-Davies #3436331. Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.898101).  Among the many compositions for guitar by the celebrated guitarist Mauro Giuliani (1781-1828) is a collection of 16 charmingly tuneful dances, published under the title La Tersicore del Nord (The Northern Tersicore, this being the name of the ancient Greek muse of the dance), thereby suggesting that Giuliani felt the collection to be inspired in some way by what he understood to be a northern European spirit. Here are six of them, nos 6, 7, 10, 11, 12 and 13, arranged for recorder quartet - soprano (descant), alto (treble), tenor and bass. The melodies are Giuliani's, the rest is mine, each part being given some at least of the fun in these engaging pieces. Tempo indications are also editorial. The guitar original - treble line with occasional accompanying notes or chords - can be found at IMSLP.

Douglas Brooks-Davies #3894111. Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.898104). Six stimulating and challenging new arrangements of well-loved European carols for two alto recorders. The carols are: Angels we have heard on high (aka Angels from the realms of glory); John Goss's See, amid the winter's snow; the Czech carol, Out of the Forest a Cuckoo flew (the Zither Carol); Il est né, le divin enfant, which I have combined for a few bars with Willy, beat your little drum (also French). This is followed by Sing, lullaby (the Basque carol Oi Betleem!) and Veni, Emmanuel (O Come, O come, Emmanuel). Some of the arrangements are much simpler than others, so there is something for all abilities.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.898107 Composed by Douglas Brooks-Davies. Christian,Contemporary,Praise & Worship,Sacred. Octavo. 12 pages. Douglas Brooks-Davies #4335009. Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.898107). A new and tuneful setting for SATB choir and keyboard of Mrs C. F. Alexander's well-known hymn. Ideal for general worship, the setting is sufficiently traditional to suit a more formal service, yet catchy and rhythmical enough for a less formal group or style of worship. Each voice is within its normal range, and the keyboard part is within the capability of any moderately able player. Duration: 3 minutes. .

Woodwind Ensemble Flute - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.898094 Composed by Camille Saint-Saens. Arranged by Douglas Brooks-Davies. Concert,Standards. 67 pages. Douglas Brooks-Davies #3418021. Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.898094). Saint-Saens’s popular and haunting waltz for solo violin and orchestra in an arrangement for small flute choir (3fl, afl bfl).The piece is difficult, so flute 1 is best played by a soloist. Each part has a share of the action , and the whole thing is immense fun to play. Duration 9 minutes. This arrangement was originally commissioned by Dorking Flutes, Surrey.

Piano,Recorder Solo,Soprano Recorder - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.898116 Composed by Carl Scheindienst. Arranged by Douglas Brooks-Davies. Concert,Romantic Period,Standards. Individual part. 25 pages. Douglas Brooks-Davies #6266411. Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.898116). A lovely set of variations on the Austrian folk song 'Cousin Michael was there last night'. Originally for csakan or 'romantic recorder' (tuned to G) and guitar, this arrangement, for soprano recorder and piano, offers the recorder part in the original printed key of G - so we play almost exactly the same fingering as the csakan. The guitar part, however, originally written out in the sounding key of C, has been arranged for piano and transposed to G. The piano part keeps as closley as possible to the simple unobtrusiveness of the guitar, with minimal filling out, mainly in the right hand. Metronome markings are ediorial. Slurs, dynamics, etc. are as in the original (where I have added simile, it is to be understood that the slurring of the  preceding bars is to be followed all through). Nothing is known of the composer. The piece was published in Vienna in 1815.

Douglas Brooks-Davies #4894311. Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.898112). Six well-known Christmas carols in stimulating new arrangements for two alto (treble) recorders and tenor recorder. Each recorder has an equally interesting and challenging part of intermediate difficulty. The carols are: 1) In the bleak mid-winter; 2) Past 3 o'clock; 3) Quittez, pasteurs (O leave your sheep); 4) Il est né, le divin Enfant (The holy Child is born); 5) Berger, secoue ton sommeil profond (aka People look East); 6) Angels from the realms of glory. .

Chamber Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.898092 Composed by Douglas Brooks-Davies. Contemporary. Score and parts. 21 pages. Douglas Brooks-Davies #3417333. Published by Douglas Brooks-Davies (A0.898092). A nostalgic movement, exploiting the pastoral associations of the oboe and inspired by the sense of loss that informs A.E.Housman's Shropshire Lad. As a century and more separates us from the devastating conflict of World War One, the work implicitly evokes those themes of Housman's poems that led The Shropshire Lad to become so popular after 1914.
