Simple Gifts Shaker Hymn for Brass Quintet Arranged by Jari VillanuevaBrass Quartet2 Trumpets in BbHorn in F (Eb Alto, Trombone, Bb Trumpet)Euphonium (Baritone TC)Substitute parts availableThe tune was written by Joseph Brackett (1797–1882) in 1848. Brackett, a lifelong resident of Maine,first joined the Shakers at Gorham, Maine, when his father's farm helpedto form the nucleus of a new Shaker settlement.The song was largely unknown outside Shaker communities until Aaron Copland used its melody for the score of MarthaGraham's ballet Appalachian Spring (Shakers once worshipped on Holy Mount, in the Appalachians), first performed in 1944. Copland usedSimple Gifts a second time in 1950 in his first set of OldAmerican Songs for voice and piano, which was later orchestrated. Many people thought that the tune of Simple Gifts was a traditional Celtic one but both the music and original lyrics are actually the compositions of Brackett. Simple Gifts has been adapted or arranged many times since by folksingers and composers.https://youtu.be/hmhKeZgRrMk

Concert Band - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.883410 Composed by Daniel Dade. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score and parts. 75 pages. Daniel Dade #3545561. Published by Daniel Dade (A0.883410). Your Mission: Win the battle. ATTACK OF THE TOY PLANES brings you back to a simple time, a time when all that was on your mind was playing with your toys. ATTACK tells the story of two children playing with their toy airplanes in an intense mock-battle. ATTACK sets up a constantly driving groove with persistent eighth notes and changing time signatures. The battle starts off in a lighthearted way, but as the music unfolds, it delves deeper into the children’s imaginations, creating lifelike scenes of the air battle swirling around them – the planes flying above and the soldiers battling on the ground. Amidst the turmoil of the ending, all the brass falls out except the french horns, as they let out one last battle cry before they are ultimately silenced.

Christmas,Easter,Praise & Worship,Spiritual,Traditional. Score and parts. 4 pages. Chicory Music #440746. Published by Chicory Music (A0.833940). 'Simple Gifts' was a dancing song. The Shakers called it a quick dance. There are words in the song about bowing and bending and turning, and the Shakers actually did that as they sang those words. The song was both an instruction for dancing as well as an instruction for life. The song was limited to the Shakers until Copland popularized the melody in his 1944 ballet score, Appalachian Spring. In the 1960s, Carter's hymn carried the tune into churches. It wasn't until 1970 that folk singer Judy Collins resurrected the original words of Simple Gifts and performed it nationwide.

Published by Tracy Dean McCallum (A0.1471949). https://tracymccallum.com Spy Plane: A Groovy Bass Odyssey Strap on your headphones and prepare for takeoff, because this bass transcription of Spy Plane is about to take you on a funky, high-altitude mission. The groove is undeniably cool, a blend of tight pocket playing and adventurous improvisation. Gear Up: The bass line lays down a solid foundation with a picked eighth-note pattern. Imagine a sleek spy plane cruising steadily at altitude. The root notes likely shift between the E and A strings, outlining the chords with a focus on the lower register. Think of it as the pilot navigating through different airspaces. Throughout the song, there are gonna be some syncopated accents thrown in. These are like the plane making sharp maneuvers, adding surprise and a touch of swagger to the groove. Into the Danger Zone: As the song progresses, the bass line breaks free from the simple pattern. Get ready for some walking bass lines that weave through the chords, creating a sense of urgency and intrigue. Think of the pilot dodging enemy radar or chasing a target through a maze of clouds. Lock On! The coolest part of the transcription might be the use of effects. A touch of wah-wah can simulate the plane breaking the sound barrier, while some octaver adds a growling, mechanical feel, like the whirring of powerful engines. Mission Complete: The ending brings the bass line back to earth with a flourish. Perhaps a descending chromatic line to depict the plane landing safely, or a series of funky slides for a more playful touch. This is just a roadmap, pilot! Feel free to add your own improvisational flourishes, double stops to mimic dogfights, or slap techniques for some extra punch. The sky's the limit (or rather, the atmosphere) with this Spy Plane bass transcription. Ready to take flight? Grab your bass and get groovin'!

Published by Roger Brian Evernden (A0.910397). I wrote For Planet Earth at a time when bush fires were raging out of control in Australia. I was worried for family and friends living there, and I was concerned at the damage we were causing to our home planet. In times of climate change, an increasing divide between the rich and poor, and the squandering of precious resources I wanted to write something to remind us of the beauty and fragility of life on this awesome planet where we are privileged to live.The piece is a simple waltz in 3/4 time. The initial melody is repeated in two variations, then repeated again followed by the 2nd variation.When you play it, please think of our planet and how we must do everything we can to protect and cherish all of the life on it.

Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1084247). PLANXTY THREE - 3 Celtic pieces for THREE GUITARS or LARGE ENSEMBLEDerek Hasted writes Turlough Oâ??Carolan, the blind Irish Harpist, wrote some of the most gorgeous Celtic melodies - pieces that still delight today. Here are three contrasting pieces, each beginning with the word â??Planxtyâ?� - the meaning of which is still the subject of some debate, but thereâ??s evidence to suggest that the Publishers added the title when they were unsure of the full name of the person to whom the piece was dedicated. Planxty Irwin is a sedate piece with simple but rich harmonies Planxty George Brabazon is much more stirring - almost march-like in its pace Planxty Sir Festus Burke is a masterpiece of busyness - a real crowd-pleaser Together they make a wonderful suite for a concert, gradually lifting the mood and pace from piece to piece. In each piece, the 3 guitar parts range in complexity from early intermediate to intermediate, so thereâ??s something for everyone. I hope you enjoy these pieces!
