Small Ensemble - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1088423 Composed by Antonio Gervasoni. Classical,Contemporary. Score and parts. 18 pages. Antonio Gervasoni #692688. Published by Antonio Gervasoni (A0.1088423). Single-movement work for string trio. I've been practicing meditation for several years and if I had to choose a particular word to describe what I experience, that word would be drifting. After relaxing, my mind begins to wander. Fragments of images, thoughts and sounds flash through my mind, like fast zapping on a TV. Everything is blurry, but every now and then an image takes shape and for a moment I see all kinds of things: people, landscapes, animals, etc.; sometimes I hear a voice that speaks to me; I've even listened to music, like tuning in to a radio station for a few seconds (and when I say listen I mean it; it's not like remembering a song, it's exactly like listening to it). This is known in neuroscience as the hypnagogic state, in which hallucinations often occur. I decided to draw on this kind of experience to write Drifting. It's organized in three sections, with no break between them: relaxing, flowing and being.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1175126 Composed by Franz Xaver Gruber. Arranged by Noah Stremmel. Christmas,Classical,Contemporary,Jazz,Religious. Score. 7 pages. Noah Stremmel #775279. Published by Noah Stremmel (A0.1175126). The goal of this arrangement was to capture the atmosphere of a spiritual darkness - not just including feelings of peace and joy, but also worry and hesitancy by blurring the line between major and minor. The melody often goes unfinished, returning to the theme of the opening statement. There are also melodic references to Night of Silence by Daniel Kantor. This piece is quite harmonically complex to mirror the complexity of the sacredness and spirituality that can be experienced in times of silence and darkness.

Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.933374 Composed by Michael S. Bryson. 20th Century,Contemporary,Standards. Score. 13 pages. Bryson Music #495011. Published by Bryson Music (A0.933374). An exciting advanced piano solo. Duration: approx. 8 min. 1. Marche Humoresque - an energetic march that includes LH tone clusters. Inspired by the finale of Ravel's Piano Concerto for the LH. People often comment that this movement reminds them of a parade of cartoon characters. 2. Nocturne - begins as a gentle lullaby that builds to a majestic climax before fading away into mysterious chords. The return of the tender opening melody will bring tears to your listeners' eyes. 3. Presto - blurring and frantically playful with a bombastic conclusion to the set. Michael S. Bryson (ASCAP) www.michaelsbryson.com Contact me with any questions: michaelsbryson@gmail.com.

String Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.922636 Composed by Johann Strauss Jr. Arranged by Aaron Meier. Romantic Period,World. Score and parts. 1 pages. Aaron Meier #5792367. Published by Aaron Meier (A0.922636). Original by Johann Strauss II Reduction to String Orchestra by Aaron Meier Part: Violin II True to the original work by Strauss, this reduction for string orchestra features the ornaments and mystical writing that defines Strauss' polkas. There are optional percussion parts to be added at the discretion of the ensemble, however even without percussion the ensemble will sound full (the percussion acts as an ornament). Difficulty: Intermediate-advanced - advanced (best-suited for advanced student ensembles) --- Performance Notes: • Approximate length: 3:30 minutes • 1st Violins: In m. 1, trill a half step from a Dâ™­ to a Dâ™®  • 2nd Violins:  - At m. 42, divide players by 3, with 2 players playing line A and the remaining player playing line B  - At m. 72-75, emphasize the Eâ™­ in the div. • Snare Drum: The buzz roll needs to be quieter than how it is played in the midi recording (*see YouTube link ↓) History: The Olga-Polka itself owed its creation to a Russian royal wedding which took place in St. Petersburg on 28 August 1857. On that day, amid accompanying splendour, the music-loving Grand Duke Michail Nikolaievich (1832-1909), youngest brother of Tsar Alexander II, married Princess Caecilie of Baden (1839-91), daughter of Archduke Leopold of Baden. Johann Strauss, who at that time was giving a summer season of concerts in nearby Pavlovsk, used the opportunity occasioned by the event to enhance his already enviable popularity with the Russian royal family and composed the Caecilien-Polka in honour of the lovely young bride. Indeed, it is clear from a letter which Johann wrote in late July 1857 to Carl Haslinger, his publisher in Vienna, that the new polka had been prepared well in advance of the wedding (the fair copy of the full orchestral score made for the publisher's engraver is dated 9 August) and was enjoying success even before the royal couple's official engagement on 16August 1857. Sometime after performing the Caecilien-Polka in Pavlovsk, Johann despatched the work to the Austrian capital where his brother Josef conducted its Viennese première, together with that of Johann's waltz Telegraphische Depeschen (op. 195, Volume 28), at his own benefit concert in the Volksgartenon Sunday 18 October 1857. The Wiener Allgemeine Theaterzeitung (16.10.1857) remarked that both works have caused a sensation in St. Petersburg and are truly genial Viennese sounds full of verve and melody. Since tradition demanded that the German Princess Caecilie adopt a Russian name - Olga Feodorovna - before her marriage, so Johann's Caecilien-Polka also underwent a change of identity. On 8 December 1857 Carl Haslinger announced the publication of Strauss's Olga-Polka, on the title page of which is the inscription: Dedicated to her Imperial Highness Grand Duchess Olga, née Princess of Baden. It was under this title, too, that Johann himself first conducted the work in Vienna at a concert in the Volksgarten on 1 November 1857, shortly after his return from Russia. Reporting on this event, the Wiener Allgemeine Theaterzeitung (3.11.1857) observed: The 'Olga-Polka' is a most delightful, fragrant musical bouquet, full of fine, gracious rhythms.

Published by David James Watson (A0.1013603). A fun piece for tuba and piano, from 'Jamboree of the marsupials' suite for tuba and piano. 'Fatso' is the first song in the suite which is inspired by 'Carnival of the Animals' and 'Effie Suite' but with an Australian twang.This one is a blurty, pompous 6/8 feel that is low and comical.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1010871 Composed by Giovanni Andreani. Contemporary. Score. 7 pages. GA-music #2951955. Published by GA-music (A0.1010871). 'Inventive Prelude' is a piano piece with a blurry, almost undefined character; at the same time it demands to be played underlying a solemn gait while performing the continuous sixteenth quarter-notes, almost with no nuances. Hence, a weightless sensation combined with a Prokofiev-taste performance could be the ingredients for an inspired interpretation.

Instrumental Duet,Piano C Trumpet,Instrumental Duet,Piano,Trombone - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1206435 Composed by Elizabeth Raum. Chamber,Contemporary. 36 pages. Gordon Cherry #804638. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.1206435). Below are the program notes for Illusion for Trumpet, Bass Trombone & Piano by Elizabeth Raum.Illusion, is a general commentary to the fact that life is mysterious and generally, uncertain, constantly shifting. We try to influence what happens but usually, outside forces determine the direction of our lives. Sometimes it’s hard to distinguish between illusion and reality, and, in fact, often people much prefer illusion to reality. Mv. 1 - Illusion starts out with an obscure time signature and is constantly shifting tonalities so for a while, you aren’t quite sure where you are. Life is full of such deceptions.Mv. 2 - Fill the Wine Cup is a series of drinking songs with a lot of gayety and rollocking humour as the party gets more raucous, but eventually things get a little blurry and bombastic and the party winds down. The trombone, due to its ability to imitate drunken reeling with glissandos, is often cast in this role. M. 3 - Destiny seems to march on and on, with mankind hoping to control their future, but the implication is that fate is more powerful than one can control.M. 4 - The ultimate illusion: a Political Debate. The trombone starts out as the first candidate, and the saxophone is the other. The music is circus-like as befits many heated debates.Illusion was commissioned by Lucas Kaspar and JD Little. The original version was written for Alto Sax and Bass TromboneThe work of about 10 minutes in length is appropriate for advanced performers and may also be performed on a Trombone with an f-attachment.This work can be performed on a Trombone with an f-attachment and is appropriate for advanced performers.

This song used Chinese lyrics for singing. 秋霧 高�雄作 �看白紗掩�山, 近�秋蟲鳴翠壇; 石屋朦朧隱芳�, 旋花迷離上窗欖。茫茫人生�艱險, 旦夕��莫�天。 良機�待有心人, 霾消日照彩雲邊。 The Autumn Fog Hills are blocked by the milky fog. Crickets are singing in the green-bed. Fuzzy stony houses are hiding in the woods. Blurring flowers across the window are climbing up. The vague life is like wondering in the fog. Crazy morning and lucky eve had been pre-set. Chance favors to those who can catch her. When the haze was over, the sun looks shiner by clouds.The current song sheets were revised on June 23, 2023.
