Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.939656 Composed by Richard St. Clair. 20th Century,A Cappella,Christian. Octavo. 38 pages. Richard St. Clair #3000253. Published by Richard St. Clair (A0.939656). This Latin Mass on all 5 movements of the Mass Ordinarium (Kyrie - Gloria - Credo - Sanctus/Beneductus - Agnus Dei) owes its title to the fact that with one exception every syllable of the Latin text receives one note of sung music. Of this work, eminent musicologist Willem Elders has commented It's interesting to see how you have been dealing with a text that in the past has been set by countless composers. It is what could be called a real 'Missa brevis', and I suppose that the cardinals of the Council of Trent in the 16th century might have been very happy with it, apart then from its harmonies, to which they were not yet used. The sound clip is of the first two movements. Stylistically, the music is mostly tonal with some more contemporary pandiatonic harmonies, and the rhythms are quite straightforward.

Piano,Trombone - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.548503 Composed by Traditional. Arranged by James M. Guthrie, ASCAP. Christian,Christmas. Score and part. 4 pages. Jmsgu3 #3387395. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.548503). The First Noel arranged for Trombone & Piano with new harmony for the final verse.Origins The First Noel is an English Christmas carol. Even more, it was probably written in the late Cornish Renaissance period. While other versions spell the title as Nowell, this is just a colloquial variation. Furthermore, Noel is an older word meaning Christmas. Therefore the First Noel translates as the First Christmas. First of all, Gilbert and Sandy published the earliest version. As a result, this version appears in the Carols Ancient and Modern songbook of 1823. William Sandy edited and arranged the book. Similarly, his partner Davies Gilbert edited and added the familiar extra verses. The First Noel: Trombone Version comes with new harmony in final verse for more energy and drive. Stainer Organist and composer Sir John Stainer published the most noteworthy customary arrangement in the 1870’s.  Stainer is above all famous for his songbook entitled: Christmas Carols New and Old (1871). This volume served as an important catalyst for reviving the English Christmas carol.  Other famous Stainer arrangements from this book are such titles as What Child Is This, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Good King Wenceslas, and I Saw Three Ships. Diatonic Function The melodic structure in the First Noel is uncommon among English folk tunes. It simply repeats one phrase twice then follows a variation refrain. All three phrases of the song end on the mediant scale degree. This is unusual because the diatonic function of the mediant is non-final compared to the more usual tonic or even dominant degrees. Consequently, this gives the song as kind of open-ended feeling – like maybe it never really ends. Political Context The Catholic clergy sang carols outside of the church in Latin. After the Protestant Reformation, the reformers thought it would be better for everyone to sing carols. They decided to bring music back to the common folk. So, they translated the lyrics from Latin into common language. Moreover, the Protestants wanted more control over the music in church than what the Vatican allowed. Protestant composers such as William Byrd composed complex polyphonic Christmas music that they called carols. Nonetheless, some famous folk carols were composed in this era. Eminent composers in the nineteenth century began to revise and adapt them. Consequently, they revived the English carol.  Register for free lifetime updates and revisions at www.jamesguthrie.com

HarpSong, Jennifer Grady and Karen Almquist #790016. Published by HarpSong, Jennifer Grady and Karen Almquist (A0.1190441). Ottorino Respighi, an eminent Italian composer, teacher, director, and musician, was born in Bologna July 9, 1879 and died April 18, 1936. Respighi's style of composition is a highly sucessful blend of songful melodies with full and rich harmonies; he was one of the best masters of modern Italian music. His power of evocation of the Italian scene and his ability to sustain interest without prolixity is incontestable. His many works include operas, ballets, choral works, orchestral works, and chamber works. Notturno, which he composed in 1905, came from a set of six solo piano pieces, Notturno being #3. This arrangement, for flute and harp, was arranged from his piano solo of Notturno, which shows signs of Impressionism.
