String Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.922638 Composed by Johann Strauss Jr. Arranged by Aaron Meier. Romantic Period,World. Score and parts. 1 pages. Aaron Meier #5792369. Published by Aaron Meier (A0.922638). Original by Johann Strauss II Reduction to String Orchestra by Aaron Meier Part: Viola 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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

Published by Rocco Di Pietro (A0.1311946). The Left hand plays the note first, while the right hand bounces off the same note in a ricochet.Use the right-forte pedal lightly and constantly, but do not blur, the pedal must be used in accordance with each rubato and phrase, as in Chopin but subtly enough to render Molto Cantabile e Brilliante. Constantly, means up and down frequently, do not hold pedal down, a cluster blur is not desired, in this first part of the score. Later on, pedal markings will indicate a blend of the sound, when  wanted.The first performance was by the composer at The Darmstadt Ferienkurse für Neue Musik in 1978. The work was part of the piano seminar of Herbrt Hencke and was considered unplayable by one pianist.The American premire took place by the composer in 1979 on Julius Eastman's Festival at the The Third Street Music School in New York.The local premiere took place once again by the composer on a Creative Associates concert in Baird Hall at SUNY Buffalo in 1979 on a program of works by Giacinto Scelsi.The Ohio premeire took place in 1995 at the Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University played by the composer for the last time where it was danced by the Vicki Uris Dance Company.
