SKU: A0.1500319

Composed by James Shubert. Arranged by Jim Shubert. Christmas,Comedy,Contemporary. 4 pages. James W. Shubert #1076400. Published by James W. Shubert (A0.1500319).

2 part choir (treble/bass clef voices) with piano accompaniment.  Easy Intermediate Level.  This is the sad story of the fourth wise man, Sam, who along with Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar, followed the star to find the baby Jesus and give Him gifts.  Unfortunately for Sam, the documents that point to his participation were only recently discovered and he has been left out of the canon of christmas music... until now.

If you were to purchase this music, please do not plan on using it during a service.  I would never use this during a service, but plan on having my choir perform it during the 30 minute Carol Sing they do prior to the Christmas Eve service.

Arranged with a range-challenged choir in mind.

By Harry Styles. By Harry Styles and Thomas Hull. Arranged by Jim Lansing. Instructional,Pop,Rock,Singer/Songwriter. Score. 3 pages. Jim Lansing #6853871. Published by Jim Lansing (A0.896124).

Early Intermediate level arrangement of Harry Styles' ballad Sweet Creature transposed to C to keep RH on the staff.  Syncopated rhythms simplified for easier reading; once notes are learned, encourage student to use their ear to fix the rhythm to match the artist's recording.  

The challenge in this song is hand movement and some stepwise, parallel motion.  RH covers middle C to treble C with some scalic runs, quick finger substitutions on repeated notes, and 2 finger crossing over 1.  LH also has 2 crossing over 1 and an octave leap.

Early Intermediate level piano arrangement of 2020 AJR hit transposed to Dm for less black keys.  Syncopation smoothed out for easier reading; once notes are learned, encourage player to use their ear to fix the rhythms to match the artist's recordings.  Numerous off-beat melody entrances are helped by LH playing on the preceding beat to keep sense of rhythmic pulse.

LH plays lots of 5ths: D-A, Bb-F, C-G.  RH is mostly in Dm and F positions.  RH will reach to interval of 6th and move mostly on rests.  Both hands will play stepwise in parallel motion for 3 beats (the Bang! Bang! Bang! cadence) at the end of each 8 mm phrase.

Composed by Sy Brandon. 20th Century,Contemporary,Folk. Score and parts. 157 pages. Sy Brandon #6067165. Published by Sy Brandon (A0.755297).

This four-movement composition contains musical interpretations of four of Georgia O’Keeffe’s New Mexico paintings. The score prints on legal size paper and the parts on letter.

I. From the Faraway Nearby

The highly charged contrast of closely viewed foreground details and hugely distant horizons, which typified the New Mexican Views of O'Keeffe, was not a mere optical illusion. The large scale, bright light, and clear air of the region permitted one to see for the proverbial forever, and the juxtaposition of faraway and nearby was an integral aspect of desert vision. Soft dynamics and orchestration represent the faraway while the loud dynamics and orchestration represent the nearby. Near the end, the faraway and nearby begin to merge.

II. Jimson Weed, White Flower No. 1

This painting depicts one of O'Keeffe's favorite subjects: a magnified flower. To her, the delicate blooms stood as some of the most overlooked pieces of naturally occurring beauty, objects that the bustling contemporary world ignored. So she made it her mission to highlight their complex structures, explaining: When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not. This movement is slow and lyrical reflecting the beauty of the close-up image.

III. Red Hills and Bone

O'Keeffe 's most effective composition of bones in the landscape appeared in 1941, with Red Hills and Bone; the large canvas is also among her most ambitions evocations of the arid country of which she was by then an owner, having purchase the house at Ghost Ranch the preceding year. In 1939, O'Keeffe had written of the bones as strangely more living than the animals walking around, and in the 1941 painting her response is given visual from. The minimalistic noodling represents the red hills and the bold triplets represent the mystique of the bone.

IV. Ladder to the Moon

            This painting shows a handmade wooden ladder suspended in the turquoise sky. In the background are the pitch-black Pedernal Mountains and a pearl colored half moon. This painting was very similar to a picture taken of O'Keeffe and her surroundings at Ghost Ranch. In the picture, a large wooden ladder is leaned against an outer wall of a patio from where it rises up into the sky with the Pedernal Mountains in the background. In Pueblo culture the ladder is used to symbolize the link between the Pueblos and cosmic forces. The fact that the ladder is pointed up in the sky may represent the link between nature and the cosmos.

While there are motifs that depict specifics of the painting, such as the scale-wise ascending and descending figure for the crescent mood and rising arpeggios for the ladder, the focus of this movement is the spiritual element. The music rises and grows in intensity from a ground bass-like theme to a soaring ending.

This classic from the Big Band era is a favorite for both instrumental and vocal soloists.  This version is set up to give 2nd an improv solo in the middle of the tune but not play otherwise.  The audience will love the piece while giving one of the trumpets some down time for a large part of the tune.  Great for balancing face time during a gig!
