Piano Quartet - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.548639 Composed by Traditional. Arranged by James M. Guthrie. Christmas. 10 pages. Jmsgu3 #3406037. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.548639). The First Nowell arranged for Piano Quartet featuring a thought-provoking re-harmonization of the final verse.OriginsThe 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 an everyday 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 revised and added the familiar extra verses. The First Noel: Piano Quartet Version brings new harmony in the final verse for more energy and drive.StainerOrganist and composer Sir John Stainer published the most noteworthy customary arrangement in the 1870s. Stainer is, above all, famous for his songbook entitled Christmas Carols New and Old (1871). This volume served as an essential catalyst for reviving the English Christmas carol. Other favorite Stainer arrangements from this book include What Child Is This, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Good King Wenceslas, and I Saw Three Ships.Diatonic FunctionThe melodic structure in the First Noel is uncommon among English folk tunes. It simply repeats one phrase twice and then follows a variation refrain. All three words 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 an open-ended feeling – like maybe it never ends.Political ContextThe 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 a common language. Moreover, the Protestants wanted more control over the music in the 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 melodies were composed in this era. Eminent composers in the nineteenth century began to revise and adapt them. Consequently, they revived the English carol.

Piano Trio,String Ensemble - Digital Download SKU: A0.1004151 Composed by Matthew Scott Phillips. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score and parts. 9 pages. Matthew Scott Phillips #3510887. Published by Matthew Scott Phillips (A0.1004151). Throughout the centuries, sundials (a flat plate that marks the time of the day by the shadow of a gnomon which is cast onto it) have been used by civilizations to tell time. Unlike modern clocks and digital watches, in which every single second has its own momentary significance, telling time by sundial is more evolutionary. The seconds, and hours, melt into one another. It is perhaps for this reason that sundials have often been conceived not only as practical time pieces, but as works of art, metaphors, and creations that are inherent expressions of the personality of their creators. Etched in many sundials across the world, in Latin, English, German, and other languages are often found mottoes that reflect the thoughts of the sundial's creator. These mottoes can be fatalistic, humorous, transient, morbid, or serene, and almost always involve the subjects of time, the passing of the hours, life and its brevity, or metaphors involving shadows. Many times these mottoes feature some witticism, such as I only count the sunny hours (since a shadow must be present for a sundial to function). Other times, they can be revealingly existential (We are but shadow), and other times offer advice (Use the hours, don't count them).It is these statements of philosophy, etched in sundials throughout the centuries, that most interests me. I am currently composing a set of movements for piano trio (Piano, Violin, Cello) dedicated to the mottoes found on sundials, and their significance to me. The first movement, subtitled Tempus Edax Rerum (Time devours things) is expansive and attempts a feeling of eternity, into which all seemingly fast moving workings of human beings are inevitably subsumed. For the second movement I am considering the phrase Pereunt et Imputantur (They pass and are counted referring to the hours of the day), and its implication of the way in which time can slip away, whether we observe it or not.

Johnson Gao #890537. Published by Johnson Gao (A0.1300859). Anthem of the “All nations will be perished, and the world must unite” Colorful Number One Scholar October 3, 2023 The world was originally no any nations.The land was plundered and divided into territories.Colonize first after occupying a frontier;If you had formed a country, you must raise an army.Warfare is a deadly killing weapon,The saints use it when there are no other satisfied ways.Today's world is in ruins.The United States, China, Russia, and European Union compete. Each of them wants to dominate the world.They don't want to be cooperative diligently;They use the dirty tricks instead;They use every possible means for cunning.When the saint raises only one foot high,While the devil has already jumped ten feet tall.They are blind at what the Doomsday is coming,They still love to rob and snatch.They would like to die together;You die and I die, too.What a shame.The human body contains cells.All cells have membranes.With membranes they know how to be selfish.Selfish genes have played an important role in evolution.Love yourself and your country is only a low level of selfishness; Sacrifices oneself and destroys countries are the high level of selfishness: The world must be for the global public welfare.It is really a kind of selfish seeking benefit only for human beings. Looking at the world today, Among Emperors, Empresses, Presidents and Chairmen,No one is worthy of become a future world leader.They only know how to love themselvesAnd their countries’ benefits in a naive way;They dislike to destroy all the countries,They don’t practice the rule for world population’s commonwealth, Knowing not the brilliance patriotism in the past Has becoming the hurdles on the road to globalization. How sad, how sad!Preparing to establish the “World Leadership Education Institute”. It should be put to the top priority.I advise you not to be too innocent,All nations will be perished;This is a historical march.Ah, ha, oh, eh, yah!Home sapiensism needs to be promoted.The world must be unified. 萬國消亡, 世界一統歌 七彩狀元 2023 年 10 月 3 日 世界原無國。 掠地割為疆。 開疆先殖民; 有國必建軍。 兵乃凶器也, 聖人不得意而用之。 如今世道悪。 美, 中, 俄, 歐爭。 各想稱霸雄; 不思合作勤。 反用拆臺術。 刁鑽觸押計, 無所不用其極。 道高才一尺, 魔高已一丈。 不見末日近, 還要搶與奪。 情願同歸盡; 你死我不活。 恥笑何等絕。 人體含細胞。 細胞皆有膜。 有膜知自私。 自私基因在進化中功勳卓著。 小私愛己愛國; 大私捨己滅國, 天下為公。 蓋實為捧人類之大私也。統觀當今世界,皇, 后, 總統, 主席, 無一配當未來世界領袖。 唯其只知小私愛己愛國; 勿崇大私滅國, 天下為公。 孰不知昔日辉煌的爱国主义 正在成为全球化道路上的攔路虎。 悲哉, 悲哉! 籌建世界領袖教育學院。 可謂當務之急。 勸君莫太蠢, 萬國必消亡; 此乃歷史規律。啊, 哈, 哦, 依, 呀! 智人主義需提創; 世界必歸一。.
