Easy Piano - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.957959 Composed by Joshua Sharo. Standards. Score. 1 pages. Joshua Sharo #3096377. Published by Joshua Sharo (A0.957959). Practice Tips: The chord in measure 10 could be challenging to reach for some players. If this is the case, I suggest playing both of the lowest two notes with only the thumb. Don't re-pedal at all in measure 21! This is the climax of the piece and needs to be very loud. However, if you play the last three notes of the left hand too loudly, it will be quite blurry. Play the first left-hand octave very strongly, but pull back for the other notes while still maintaining your right hand volume. 

Small Ensemble Flute,Harpsichord,Marimba,Multi-Percussion - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.836702 Composed by Brian Joyce. Contemporary. Score and parts. 45 pages. Brian Joyce #2897325. Published by Brian Joyce (A0.836702). It’s a brave musician who, armed only with a piccolo, is willing to walk onto a stage strewn with the assorted weaponry of a determined percussionist. One’s confidence can be shaken to the point of asking, who is the soloist here, anyway?But the rewards for courage are great: where else will you find bongos, a harpsichord and a piccolo performing together? How many times do you come across a military march in 3/4 time? In what other circumstances would Goldilocks intrude on the Seven Dwarves? What more could you ask?Percussion required (one player): marimba, glockenspiel, field drum, bongos, suspended cymbal with yarn sticks, sleigh bells, maracas (1 or 2, one hand).Piccolos required: one (1).The score assumes a five-octave double-manual harpsichord, but adjustments can be made to accommodate a single without appreciable harm to the music.The audio file accompanying this blurb features snippets of the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 7th movements.  Performance time is approximately 12 minutes. Good luck!

C Trumpet,Piano,Tuba - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1348453 Composed by Elizabeth Raum. 21st Century. 36 pages. Gordon Cherry #933232. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.1348453). Below are the program notes for Illusion for Trumpet, Tuba & 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.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 tuba starts out as the first candidate, and the trumpet 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 Trombone. The work of about 10 minutes in length is appropriate for advanced performers.This work is appropriate for advanced performers.

String Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.922634 Composed by Johann Strauss Jr. Arranged by Aaron Meier. Romantic Period,World. Score and parts. 1 pages. Aaron Meier #5792359. Published by Aaron Meier (A0.922634). Original by Johann Strauss II Reduction to String Orchestra by Aaron Meier Part: Violin I 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 Johnson Gao (A0.1254468). 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.

Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.961877 Composed by Aaron Lee. 20th Century,Classical,Contemporary. Score. 38 pages. J. Aaron Lee #567586. Published by J. Aaron Lee (A0.961877). From the Japanese “bukimi no tani� (first used by Dr. Mori in 1970), “uncanny valley� refers to the concept that imperfect humanoid objects will evoke uncanny or uneasy feelings in a viewer. Similarly, I believe that there can be an uneasy disconnect in concert venues when listening to pre-recorded sound, especially as it begins to approximate the sounds of real, on-stage performers. Simulacrum explores this concept by intermingling both a live and pre-recorded piano into a singular texture. Blurring and obscuring the lines between what is human and what is digital, this work actively tasks the listener with reconciling the two aspects into a unified listening experience.

Instrumental Duet Instrumental Duet,Keyboard,Piano - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.829352 Composed by Lyndell Leatherman. Contemporary. Score and parts. 1 pages. Leatherman Music Services #5801655. Published by Leatherman Music Services (A0.829352). This short (1:00 in duration) ominous piece–a duet for piano and keyboard (or two keyboards with optionally some live percussion)–could serve as scene change music in a theatrical production...or perhaps traveling music during a very serious concert. It sounds apocalyptic, much as the Covid-19 pandemic feels to many of us as I'm writing this blurb in mid-June, 2020.

Choral Choir (SAB) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.985649 Composed by Brian Holloway. Contemporary. Octavo. 10 pages. Brian Joseph Holloway #6258579. Published by Brian Joseph Holloway (A0.985649). A mornings quill speaks of transition into new unexplored opportunities that we can only have afforded through trial of experience.  This trial of experience usually goes against our expectations of what we thought would be our ideal.  Even when we achieve our ideal we find that there is trial involved.  Nature is used to reflect the purity of reality without blurring the pure intent of the piece with the frailty of humanity.  Morning represents the newness of transition.  The quill represents the creativity of the transition and exciting new possibilities.  Sometimes we see this morning  with eyes of too much expectation, without full understanding, there is always a secret that this portrait of creation holds.  Our expectations often make the portrait dull because we don’t anticipate or appreciate what makes life beautiful.  But we have a choice to see the picture for what it is and it is still beautiful amidst the imperfect brush strokes of a mornings quill.
