Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1315388 By DaCapo Primary Music. By Jane Cutler and Tracey Mathias. Classical,Contemporary,Instructional,Multicultural,Traditional,World. Educational Method. 94 pages. DaCapo Primary Music #904114. Published by DaCapo Primary Music (A0.1315388). This Book Contains 68 songs for the instrumentalist.This new edition of the DaCapo Complete Instrumentalist contains the same material as when first published in 2000, with one big change - many of the songs have been re-worded by our writer in residence, Tracey Mathias, to make them more engaging for very young children.Singing is the foundation of all musical skills.The book concentrates on the building of musicianship, is not clef specific and is therefore suitable for ANY instrument. It has been written on a reduced stave of 1, 2 or 3 lines in order to develop the skill of hearing the music from the page. The songs are classified by their note range, using solfa symbols and handsigns to identify relative pitches.The collection starts with the  so  mi  interval and moves progressively to cover the complete major pentatonic scale. These intervals are easier to pitch accurately and you have the added advantage of working in canon. You may find another section more appropriate for the early stages of your instrument. A violinist or cellist may find the  so  do  section better as a starting point for example, whilst  la  so  might be more comfortable on a fife or recorder.Each section starts with a list of ideas for very simple activities used to teach a song and establish it in the pupil's mind. There follows a variety of more complex and creative ideas which will enhance their musicianship. The activities are at three levels and we suggest that first you learn lots of the songs and then return to them later, tackling some of the more challenging suggestions.Whilst every attempt has been made to research the source material, if you think we have not credited an original song please let us know.We hope that you enjoy becoming a Complete Instrumentalist.

Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.582416 By Tears For Fears. By Ian Stanley and Roland Orzabal. Arranged by Jeff Tincher. Contemporary. Score. 20 pages. Jeff Tincher #3087769. Published by Jeff Tincher (A0.582416). This is a piano/vocal/guitar arrangement of one of Tears for Fears biggest hits. This is a transcription in the original key from their Songs From The Big Chair CD. It starts out really thin with just bass and vocals and builds to the end. This is the full six minute version including all the instrumental and guitar solos. When the vocals cross (when a verse ends after the chorus begins) the rest of the verse vocal is in the piano part. This one is quite the fun song to perform. Duration=6:03+.

Concert Band - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.872438 Composed by James K. Taylor. Folk,Instructional,Standards,World. Score and parts. 48 pages. James K. Taylor #238411. Published by James K. Taylor (A0.872438). This is a unique young band march. You may perform it at quarter = 120 OR in cut time -half=96. It works either way. The score instrumentation is for beginning band--flute, clarinet, alto sax, tenor sax, trumpet, horn, trombone, baritone, tuba, xylophone, snare/bass drum and cymbals. For bands playing it in cut time, there are parts (but not on score) in the PDF file for oboe (flute double) and bassoon-bass clarinet--bari sax (all trombone double). You will have to listen to the MP3 recording to believe your ears. NOTICE: THE SAMPLE STARTS WITH THE 4/4 VERSION AND WHEN IT IS OVER, THE 2/2 VERSION WILL BE PLAYED. Very few parts exceed one octave in the key of Bb. The flute/oboe part has one C above the high Bb. The rhythms are fairly easy, but in cut time, they sound challenging. There is lots of dynamic contrast, and your students will learn about lip slurs and march style. The clarinet and bass clarinet parts do not go across the break. The biggest challenge will be endurance for your brass players, but since there are no first and second parts, the lead players might can get a little rest time in the big tutti sections. The horn is kept in the middle range with tenor sax doubling.There are a few solos towards the beginning, but the soloists are getting to play the fun melody of this little two in one young band composition. I hope you enjoy this two marches for the price of one.

Guitar,Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1335072 Composed by James R. Murray. Arranged by Connie Boss. Children,Christmas. Score. 4 pages. Connie Boss #920918. Published by Connie Boss (A0.1335072). I put a twist on Jolly Old Saint Nicholas. I added verses and a different melody along with the familiar melody of Jolly Old Saint Nicholas. This song starts off with a child waiting patiently in line to see Santa so he can tell him what he wishes for him to bring him for Christmas. I started off with my own original melody and lyrics and then in the middle of the song, when the child finally reaches Santa, I switch to the melody of Jolly Old Saint Nicholas. However, to modernize it, I switched to Jolly Old Dear Santa Claus. I kept verse one lyrics the same except for that part. I changed the lyrics entirely for the second verse. The child tells Santa where he can put the presents and hopes one is for him. He also tells him he tries to wait up for him each year, but Santa is so quiet, he sleeps through the night. The last verse is back to my original melody and lyrics where Santa tells him it will be a surprise what he brings him this year. This brings the song all the way from waiting in line to see Santa to sitting on his knee and Santa telling him it will be a surprise. Let me know if you have any questions or request at cdboss@cvalley.net.Lyrics:Here to see Santa Claus “Jolly Old St Nicholas� I’m here to see Santa Claus But, it’s a long, long line, With lot’s of kids ahead of me, It will take some time I have with me my Christmas listTo tell dear Santa what I wish Now my time is finally hereTo sit up on his kneeHe asked me what I want this yearSo I whisper in his ear Jolly old dear Santa Claus, lean your ear this wayDon’t you tell a single soul what I’m going to sayChristmas eve is coming soon, now you dear old manWhisper what you’ll bring to me – tell me if you can Down the chimney you will comeRight next to the tree,You can put the presents thereI hope there’s one for me You never make any noiseI wait for you each yearBut I sleep all through the nightSo I can’t catch you here Then he looked and smiled at me and whispered in my earIt will be a big surprise what I bring to you this year.

Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1257707 By 4 Bar Cafe. By Michael E Scofield. Arranged by Michael E Scofield. Chamber,Folk,Jazz. 2 pages. Michael E Scofield #850936. Published by Michael E Scofield (A0.1257707). The mountain dulcimer can play more than just bluegrass and folk music; this piece was written to demonstrate this. It starts as a jaunty little tune with the 4-string dulcimer that is joined by a baritone dulcimer early on. But halfway through, enter a bassoon and oboe under the dulcimers to broaden the sound and heighten the emotion. As the violin and harp are added in the final section, the song sounds like a big band ensemble. It ends with sweeping grandeur, far from where it started out.

Guitar Ensemble Guitar - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.797770 By Billy Joel. By Billy Joel. Arranged by Derek Hasted. Contemporary,Pop. Score and parts. 24 pages. Derek Hasted #5299683. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.797770). UPTOWN GIRL - THREE or FOUR GUITARS or LARGE ENSEMBLEFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes This very playable but satisfying arrangement suits 3 guitars, 4 guitars or (even better!) a large ensemble.This is a piece that's full of hidden gems...For an audience it's absolutely full of uplifting key changes - not just one on the last chorus! This arrangement starts in A, but visits the keys of F, C, D and E more than once, and each one seems to lift the mood yet higher. And then there's a gentle fade away to a quiet finish.For an adult trio, it's an easy rhythmic crowd-pleaser that any audience will like. Each line has its own contribution to the overall big wall of toe-tapping sound.For a guitar teacher, it's a great exercise in rhythm and a chance to show students the half-diminished chord (the m7b5) and the poignancy of the flattened ninth. And indeed to remind them that there's more to good music than just three chords!For a school teacher, this trio comes with a potential life-saver - there's a second version of the Guitar 2 part that is split into two separate parts - 2a and 2b. These parts are ideal for a mixed ability ensemble where one or two players are new starters with guitar (yes, the Guitar 2b part really is that easy!) So play as a trio or a quartet - the choice is yours, and rest assured that an ensemble of widely differing abilities will be able to tackle it to great effect.I hope you enjoy this piece as much as my adult Guitar Workshop ensemble does!

Tonada del Lamento - When I start to compose this work I was experimenting with modal harmonies. This is a Venezuelan Tonada from the plains in the style of the composer Simón Díaz, my biggest influence. The poem talks about a cowboy who lose his wife and his family and go across the savannah with a big pain in his heart. I include the chords to accompany with the Venezuelan Cuatro (small four-string folk guitar) for a better interpretation. Lyrics are in Spanish. Performance time: c. 4:00 minutes.

Instrumental Duet Harpsichord,Instrumental Duet,Piano - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.862656 Composed by Tschaikowsky, P. Arranged by Michael Bomier. Concert,Instructional,Romantic Period,Standards. Score and parts. 3 pages. Michael Butkus-Bomier #3591575. Published by Michael Butkus-Bomier (A0.862656). Chanson Triste is a classic example of the composer asking the player to bring out a melody on top of a stack of chords. our edition here shows that melody in stark relief. Some notes have reassigned to a different hand to avoid large spans. Other than that, here is the composer's music, with the main task highlighted for any student or recitalist to observe and execute unambiguously. Pace could be faster if one wishes. Full-length, original key, as always. MBB.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1138600 Composed by Ryan Stott. Arranged by Ryan Stott. 20th Century,Classical,Contemporary. Score. 4 pages. Ryan Stott #738948. Published by Ryan Stott (A0.1138600). Persevera In Faide, Latin for: to persevere in faith is the College motto where Ryan works. This is a piano reduction for the non commissioned concert band work, and is a piece you will really enjoy playing. This piece will take you on a journey starting with a more subtle gentle beginning compared to the concert band version, which will have your audience feel relaxed ready to start. The triumphal melody which follows the introduction will grab your audiences attention from the very first note. In the middle section of piece, it represents the light playful the woodwind section, before the piece takes a turn and builds towards what you think might be the big ending, but it take you back to the gentle tones of the beginning before finishing big.

A high-energy, fun piece of music!Arranged for concert/school/symphonic bands of an intermediate level.A classic Scottish reel (similar to an Irish jig) sees a group of dancers getting together and starting to dance.

The dance finishes abruptly with everyone collapses in a big heap.

Matthew F. Walicke #5743219. Published by Matthew F. Walicke (A0.923860). A bold and surprising advent prelude, Fantasy on 'O Come, O Come Emmanuel' based on the 15th century chant, features opportunities to show off your organ's solo stops and chimes and welcome in the season of Advent. Starting with a plaintive solo section (with optional chimes), the song bursts into a fast and fun Renaissance inspired dance with alternating meters, and finally ends with a Baroque styled waltz and fanfare. A versatile work, this piece is great as a diverse prelude that starts meditative and ends with celebration, and it's big finish makes for an excellent closer as well. Great for the first or last weeks of Advent or even Christmas!
