String Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1256309 By Michael Blostein. By Michael Blostein. 21st Century,Chamber,Classical,Instructional. Score and Parts. 23 pages. Michael D. Blostein #849780. Published by Michael D. Blostein (A0.1256309). The title refers to a lightness of style as well as a lightness of bow weight, combined with an ever-changing balance. The piece begins with unison ideas (pitch, rhythm and bowing), then begins to expand, encouraging each section to gain some independence. We reset, and expand further. This process continues until the contrapuntal lines create complex harmonic textures that travel in unexpected directions, yet make musical sense. Much like an individual’s own journey, the path taken is not always direct and clear, but the end result is musically satisfying.Significant attention music be placed on dynamics throughout.From a technique standpoint, this work asks the most of the bass section. The shifting requests in the other sections are minimal, although there are sufficient opportunities to shift should student and/or teacher choose. Bow placement and control, tone production and ensemble balance are where much of the focused work will be required from students.

Choral Choir (SATB divisi) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1264987 Composed by Giuseppe Rastelli, Gorni Kramer, and Mario Panzeri. Arranged by Bacco Baccanels and Pasquale Amico. A Cappella,Jazz,Multicultural,World. Octavo. 8 pages. Bacco Baccanels #857827. Published by Bacco Baccanels (A0.1264987). SAATBB version of the great song by Gorni Kramer.STBB voices follow a simple arrangement: Soprano does the main melody and Tenor, Baritone and Bass do accompaniment: an easy bass line and two voices for the chords.Baritone and Bass often play upbeat in the first bars of most of the phrases (pretending to be guitars or trumpets) and turn to straight beat in the final measures.Tempo is fast, thus singing those upbeat at the right speed can be challenging: bear in mind slowing them down produces a global weakening of the entire song: I suggest Tenor2 and Baritone drink some coffee before singing...SAA voices, (Soprano, the lead, Alto and Contralto the other), come from a Pasquale Amico (thank You!) arrangement and make a very good melody harmonisation.To add movement to an otherwise great and funny but simple structure, I added few bars to the original work, starting from bar 79 (F mark); here, pay attention to sing in sync, since the section is very rhythmic.Some background information about the song: written in 1939 under the fascist regime, Kramer was accused of making fun of the fascist hierarch Achille Starace, who used to walk upright in a black shirt, arousing the hilarity of the population. The song thus had to face the censorship of the regime, given that the allusion appeared quite clear.Many years after the composition, Gorni Kramer declared that the piece was inspired not by Starace but by the maestro Pippo Barzizza, with whom, in 1939, Kramer had had an argument during a performance at the Kursaal in Viareggio.

Choral Choir (SA) - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.782807 Composed by Nicholas Palmer. Instructional. Octavo. 24 pages. Nicholas D Palmer #3507649. Published by Nicholas D Palmer (A0.782807). The purpose of this series of sight-singing exercise books is to give choir directors supplemental materials with which to strengthen the reading skills of singers. These exercises may be used in a variety of ways, starting with unison choir, then two part, then switching parts, etc… to maximize the exercises’ content. No texts are provided, so that the singers may use neutral syllables to focus on tone, or solfege, numbers, or rhythm syllables, depending on the system the teacher uses. This volume contains the first 10 exercises of Volume 1, and then 10 more exercises that use only longer note values. Since Volume 1 also covers eighth note and sixteenth note rhythms and some compound meters, I decided to provide a volume with only the longer note values and then restructure the collection in the following way: in each series of volumes, A includes only longer note values, B introduces eighths and sixteenths, C introduces compound meter, and D introduces melodic minor.Volume 1 (ABCD)- Diatonic Seconds Volume 2 (ABCD) - Diatonic ThirdsVolume 3 (ABCD) - 1-5-1, octave leapsVolume 4 (ABCD) - FourthsVolume 5 (ABCD) - FifthsVolume 6 (ABCD) - SixthsVolume 7 (ABCD) - SeventhsVolume 8 (ABCD) - Chromatic intervalsIn general, the exercises give some direction for articulation, dynamics, and tempo.  Though these are optional, the more notation detail the singers pay attention to, the greater their skill will be in reading all the notation on the page.  In some cases, vagueness in these instructions leaves opportunities for singers to decide how to articulate, what tempo might be appropriate, and how loud or soft to sing. If you discover any errors, please notify me, and then give your singers a chance to figure out what the error is!   Nick Palmer www.nicholaspalmer.com nicholasdpalmer@gmail.com  

Clarinet,Piano - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.551628 Composed by Claude Debussy (1862 – 1918). Arranged by James Guthrie, ASCAP. Instructional,New Age,Romantic Period,Standards. Score and part. 22 pages. Jmsgu3 #5325605. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.551628). Claude Debussy: Arabesque 1. Duration: ca. 3:30. Debussy's Arabesques are considered to be one of the earliest expressions of French impressionism. They are a suite of two piano pieces that contain hints of Debussy's developing musical style. Although they did not receive much attention when they were first published, they are now regarded as early impressionist standards. Debussy seems to wander through modes and keys, achieving evocative scenes throughout both pieces. The Arabesques are important in the history of music as they represent a significant development in the impressionist movement.Claude Debussy was a French composer born in 1862 who developed a highly original system of harmony and musical structure that expressed the ideals of the Impressionist and Symbolist painters and writers of his time. He is considered one of the most important and influential composers of the 20th century. Debussy's compositions, including his orchestral poems and piano music, helped establish the musical language for much of the twentieth century. Critics often credited Debussy with pioneering a genre called impressionism, although Debussy consistently rejected the term. Debussy's best-known musical arabesque is his Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune (1894).

Harp - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.849960 Composed by Robert Schumann. Arranged by Marilyn Rummel. Classical,Contemporary,Romantic Period,Standards. Score. 4 pages. Demand Music #4762147. Published by Demand Music (A0.849960). This beautiful piece by Robert Schumann is beloved by fine pianists everywhere, but works very well on the harp with its overlapping harmonies and ringing strings. The lever flipping to realize all of his accidentals are well marked, and well thought out so they can be done with no interruption in the flow of the music. But some do need to be done quickly. Some fingering is marked, and attention to the slurs will help with the smooth quality.

Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.553629 Composed by Franz Liszt. Arranged by Ray Thompson. Christmas,Romantic Period. 96 pages. RayThompsonMusic #3362425. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.553629). Liszt: Weihnachtsbaum (Christmas Tree Suite)( A selection of six pieces from) They are:1.Altes Weihnachtlied (An old Christmas Carol)3.Die Hirten an der Krippe (The Shepherds at the Manger)(in dulce jubilo) 4.Adeste Fideles (O come all ye faithful)5.Scherzoso 8.Altes provenzalisches Weihnachtslied (Provencal Carol)9. Evening Bells.Some pieces are available separately. Weihnachtsbaum (English: Christmas Tree; French: Arbre de Noel) is a suite of 12 pieces written by Franz Liszt in 1873–76, with revisions in 1881. The suite exists in versions for solo piano and piano four-hands. Weihnachtsbaum does not demand great virtuosity, and it has been described as a distant relation of Schumann’s Kinderszenen and Debussy’s Children’s Corner.It occupies an unusual place in Liszt’s output, and it may be for these reasons that it has received relatively little attention from performers.Liszt dedicated Weihnachtsbaum to his first grandchild Daniela von Bülow (1860-1940; daughter of Cosima and Hans von Bülow). Daniela had accompanied her grandfather to Rome due to his frail condition.The first performance was on Christmas Day 1881 in Daniela’s Rome hotel room.This was the day on which her mother Cosima always celebrated her birthday, although she was actually born on Christmas Eve. Something different for wind ensemble.

Bassoon Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.969892 Composed by Amy Dunker. 20th Century,Concert,Contemporary. Individual part. 4 pages. Amy Dunker #6385149. Published by Amy Dunker (A0.969892). Emmett Till (July 25, 1941 – August 28, 1955) was a 14-year-old African American who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955, after being accused of offending a white woman in her family's grocery store.  Several nights after the incident in the store, Bryant's husband Roy and his half-brother J.W. Milam were armed when they went to Till's great-uncle's house and abducted the boy. They took him away and beat and mutilated him before shooting him in the head and sinking his body in the Tallahatchie River. In September 1955, an all-white jury found Roy Bryant and J. W. Milam not guilty of Till's kidnapping and murder. Protected against double jeopardy, the two men publicly admitted in a 1956 interview with Look magazine that they had killed Till. The brutality of his murder and the fact that his killers were acquitted drew attention to the long history of violence against African Americans in the United States. Duration: 4:00
