I had written the Cadman Requiem in 1989 for the Hilliard Ensemble in memory of my friend and sound engineer Bill Cadman, who was killed in the Lockerbie air crash. His death affected me very deeply and, pending a recording of this piece, Manfred Eicher asked if I might like to develop an instrumental work from this, using the same instrumentation for accompaniment and retaining the same opening bars as part of a new ECM album. The piece is after the Requiem therefore in the musical sense of being based on it, in the chronological sense of following on from it, and in the spiritual sense of representing that state which remains after mourning is (technically) over. I wrote the piece in Venice in September 1990 and finished it in Oslo on the day of the recording, where I added the electric guitar of Bill Frisell. This, I felt, blended particularly well with low strings (2 violas and cello). Coincidentally, having used certain distortion effects on the guitar, we found that we were recording on the twentieth anniversary of the death of Jimi Hendrix. Within the music I use one or two modified extracts from the Cadman Requiem itself, and from its common source Invention of Tradition, for which Bill Cadman had done the sound design. The piece is dedicated to the two Bills (Cadman and Frisell).

By Christopher Alexander. By Joseph Meyer. Arranged by Christopher Alexander. 20th Century,Barbershop,Standards,Traditional. Score and individual part. 16 pages. Christopher Alexander #974749. Published by Christopher Alexander (A0.1391218).

Upbeat, light-hearted songs were the norm for American popular songs during the early 20th century. Vaudevillian and comedic in their musical treatment, many of these tunes were designed as love songs. This particular tune by Joseph Meyer illustrates the scene at an automat or diner where a simple date - along with a light meal and drink - can be the best thing on the menu. Arrangement for this song was mainly modeled from its performance by the barbershop quartet The Buffalo Bills.

A Cup of Coffee, a Sandwich, and You is included in the collection:

Brass Quintet Baritone Horn TC,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 3 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.1460496

By Will Corbin. By Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Arranged by Will Corbin. Christmas,Classical. 44 pages. Will Corbin #1039421. Published by Will Corbin (A0.1460496).

It's a Christmas perennnial for ballet companies everywhere; for many, its performance at Christmas is the way they pay the bills the rest of the year. But even without the dancers, it's good music and instantly recognizable.
This can be performed as a unit or in separate pieces. You'll want to hear a tuba playing a sugar-plum fairy.
It's arranged for two trumpets, horn, baritone and tuba. If you'd like other instrumentation, I'm happy to help. Contact me at wilcor@aol.com.

Brass Quintet Horn,Trombone,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 2 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.1461603

Composed by Meredith Willson. Arranged by Will Corbin. Barbershop,Broadway,Film/TV,Musical/Show. 21 pages. Will Corbin #1040346. Published by Will Corbin (A0.1461603).

Meredith Willson's one-man masterpiece, The Music Man, features a couple of counterpoint combinations, where one song shares the chord structure with another and can be played/sung together. This is one of them. The Buffalo Bills barbershop quartet (the school board) sings Lida Rose, while Shirley Jones (in the movie) as Marian the Librarian sings Will I Ever Tell You elsewhere in River City. This arrangement is built from a barbershop arrangement found floating on the 'net from a gay men's chorus, with the four higher horns -- two trumpets, horn, trombone -- providing the quartet. The trombone peels off for the Marian ballad.
If you need alternative instrumentation, I'm happy to oblige. Contact me at wilcor@aol.com.
