Jazz Combo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.778984 Composed by Don Hodell Chilcote. Arranged by Don Hodell Chilcote. Blues,Christian,Gospel,Jazz. Score and parts. 3 pages. Don Hodell Chilcote #3686629. Published by Don Hodell Chilcote (A0.778984). Only A Step, Heaven's Call.  A setting of a hymn tune with great funky bebop riff which is simple and groovin at times and also harmonically daring and rich. Big Chords and great nonfunctional Gospel sounding voice leading produces a striking example of the beauty qualities of this astounding gem. Piece includes distinct and unique ideas and vamps and a setting of the hymn tune before concluding. 2 page arrangement is challenging but not overly so, and well worth the effort to learn. Deeply funky tune draws from inspiration in Hezekiah Walker, Chick Corea, Ricky Dillard, Charlie Parker, and Theolonious Monk. It was used for a piano and drum prelude in church, for a moment in time.

French Horn Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1018883 Composed by Benjamin Harry Sajo. 20th Century,Contemporary. Individual part. 2 pages. Benjamin Sajo #6056095. Published by Benjamin Sajo (A0.1018883). Programme Notes: Icarus Also Flew takes its title from the first line of the poem Failing and Flying by Jack Gilbert. He is referring to the classical myth of Daedalus and Icarus, an inventive father and son who bravely escape from their imprisonment in a tower by collecting the disposed feathers of seabirds, then fashion wings out of them and fly away. While the story is often treated as a morality tale--listen to your elders, don’t get cocky like the young man, Icarus, who, in such an understandable state of elation, ascended too close to the sun thus causing the wings to melt and his tumbling to his Mediterranean death--what Jack Gilbert reminds us is how regardless of one’s failure, the sheer transcendental experience of mortal flight remains glorious and unforgettable. Icarus’s fall was not into a legacy of disdain and oblivion, but in truth, he had come to the end of his triumph. This piece was the first of a series I composed during the Covid-19 quarantine conditions of 2020, to serve as potential contemporary preludes for each of Ludwig van Beethoven’s nine symphonies--his two hundred and fiftieth anniversary was this year!--though they can all stand on their own on any program. The connection, in this case, is with his celebrated fifth symphony in C minor--the Fate symphony, as it is commonly known. I’ll let the listener find their own connections.About the Composer:Benjamin Sajo (b. 1988) is a Canadian composer of contemporary classical music, as well as an educator. Since developing a fiercely independent creative voice upon the completion of his studies at Western (2010) and McGill Universities (2013), he continues to find inspiration from the intersection of mythology, art, and nature upon the contemporary human experience. In 2019, he released his premiere album of original music, The Great War Sextet: Canadian War Poetry with Trombone & Strings, with support from the Ontario Arts Council. He is a member of SOCAN and the League of Canadian Composers.

Full Orchestra - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1119832 Composed by William Pagan-Perez. Multicultural,World. Score and parts. 54 pages. William Pagan-Perez #721176. Published by William Pagan-Perez (A0.1119832). We Want To Play A Plena! It is a single-movement piece for the Symphony Youth Orchestra by Composer William Pagán-Pérez. The piece is in the key of D Major. Composer Pagán-Pérez followed some teachings organized in Volume I of the Suzuki Methods to compose the piece for the string sections and a 2 or 2.5 grade level for the wind and brass instruments. The key of D Major can be a challenge for the winds and brass (especially for clarinets and trumpets in Bb), but music teachers, conductors, and students will manage the challenges by practicing scales and arpeggios. The Plena is a music genre or a rhythm from the south of Puerto Rico (a territory of the United State in the Caribbean). Percussion students can learn the basic patterns by reading the music notation or by ear (it is very repetitive). Composer Pagán-Pérez used the Plena variation by percussionist Tony Sánchez, Sr. Instrumentation: Flute, Oboe, Clarinet in Bb, Bassoon, Horn in F, Trumpet in Bb 1, Trumpet in Bb 2, Trombone, Tuba, Cowbell (Small), Maracas, Conga Drums, Tenor Drums or Toms, Percussion (Bass Drum, Sus. Cymbal), Violin I, Violin II, Viola, Violoncello, Double Bass.

Horn Ensemble Horn - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1391657 Composed by Austin Whisler. 20th Century,21st Century,Chamber,Instructional. 23 pages. AWhislerMusic #975171. Published by AWhislerMusic (A0.1391657). The story for this piece is a rather simple one: I saw a cloud. However, this was not an ordinary cloud. Even against a backdrop such as the Bridger Mountain Range, this cloud was of epic proportions. As I watched this cloud form and descend to meet the peaks, this melody formed in my mind. In this work, you will hear a gentle sunrise give light to the scene, the morning fog rising and becoming a thick blanket nestled into each couloir leading up the ridges. The cloud then descends to obscure the skyline and flow into the Gallatin valley where it becomes a fierce, if short-lived, snowstorm. The flurry ends, the enormous snowflakes settle, and the cloud and fog are eventually blown away to reveal the same mountains, but even more majestic with a fresh blanket of snow.
