Vocal Solo,Voice - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.719770 Composed by Various. Arranged by Curtis Hanson. Sacred. 10 pages. Curtis Hanson #6069399. Published by Curtis Hanson (A0.719770). As years come and go, one increasingly recalls memories of earlier times. One of the most vivid and cherished memories I have while growing up is of Sunday mornings, going to church, sitting in the same pew each week with my grandmother, hearing and singing the beautiful hymns of our faith, and then returning home to the aroma of beef slowly roasting in the oven. My father directed the church choir, my mother and older brothers sang in the choir, so the wonderful music of our faith was instilled in me from an early age. This medley, and others in the series, are arrangements of many of my favorite hymns from those early years, many of which have been lost in more recent editions. For this series, I have mostly elected to use the older texts as that is the way they were first written and the way I first learned them. (*See below for more comment on the texts in this set.) There is a reverence and beauty in the language enriching the vocal tone which, I believe, is lost in contemporary, conversational, or politically correct syntax. I shudder to think of the day when a penitential phrase such as Hear thou my prayer, O Lord is rendered as Hey, God-dude, listen up - I'm talkin' atcha! I have also opted not to include the many wonderful hymns and carols which are associated with the major festivals of Christmas and Easter as those are commonly found in other collections. A caveat: I have no delusions, and I offer no pretenses, that these settings are great art. They are simply expressions of faith which I hope may bring a small measure of joy to other church musicians. The general concept of each medley is to present the hymn, often in its original chorale form, and then vary its harmony or texture. The hymns in this set are Children of the Heavenly Father, Day by Day, Thy Holy Wings, and Beautiful Savior. This collection of arrangements is also available for SATB voices and piano or piano solo.*A note on the texts in this set: Having grown up in a Swedish Lutheran church, the grandson of Swedish/Norwegian immigrants, and currently being choir director of another Swedish Lutheran church, these hymns have a special place for me. This medley of hymns was originally arranged for my church choir with the first verse of each in Swedish. Being under copyright, permission was obtained to use the more familiar English translations of the first three songs for local use. For this edition, I have opted to create my own texts for the first and third hymns while the second hymn is a translation in public domain. I have also provided a verse in English in lieu of the Swedish for those Nordically challenged. The fourth hymn is not a Swedish melody but for obvious reasons is a mainstay of the Lutheran hymnal. Like the other hymns, the first verse is in Swedish while the other traditional verses are also public domain.

Lyrics:I see you don't care, You don't care. I see you don't care. Won't you take care of me? Won't you take care of me? Won't you take care of me? I used to be your keeper,Was always there for you all time,And if you cried,I'd hold you,Close to my heart and whisper,You are the best thing in this world,My little sweet,Cry no more.Now, won't you take care of me? Won't you take care of me? Won't you take care of me? You needed me,I was there,I could not leave you there alone.My little love,You got me.You called to me;Teach me all,I was so glad to show you all,My little dear,Know it all.And when you're scared,I held you,I said, My baby, I'm right here.I prayed to God,Keep my love!But now, won't you take care of me?Won't you take care of me?Won't you take care of me?My little sweet,My happiness,I will never forget.Now a grown-up,Now you don't care,Never remember me? I just need you here with me.I cannot do it on my own,My little best,You've so grown.I need you to understand;I will not be here for so long,My little sweet,I need you now!So now, won't you take care of me? Won't you take care of me? Won't you take care of me?

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.862658 Composed by A. Rubenstein, T. Leschitizsky. Arranged by Michael Bomier. Concert,Instructional,Romantic Period,Standards. Score. 7 pages. Michael Butkus-Bomier #3603237. Published by Michael Butkus-Bomier (A0.862658). Melody in F has been around as a so-called light classical piece since its famed composer made his US tour at the end of the 19th century. In its original form the tune was passed from hand to hand; unnecessarily, in our view. This setting has the tune ALL in the RH, where the in-between chords are as well. Anton, with his massive Russian hand, had no trouble using 10ths freely as accompaniment, whilst finding a thumb for the tune, once in awhile. We think Normal Humans might not like that quite so much. The LH can be arpeggiated freely by anyone without a comfortable 10th, which is to say, me and most of the rest of us, eh! The Leschtizsky Consolation,  also in F, uses the same kind of RH thumb-tune, with chords above interspersed on the off-beats, just as his students' piece uses. Yes, he taught Rubenstein. These pieces both are predecessors of Rachmaninoff's harmonically-based compositions, where the tune and the harmony are a single unified entity.This music has a place for students and aspiring artists who want to know how the modern Russian School was formed. Melody notes are clearly double-stemmed, and harmony is spelled clearly so the harmonic progression is easily defined. MP3 file has Melody, then Consolation. MBB .

String Trio Cello,Viola,Violin - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1268629 By Pharrell. By Pharrell. Arranged by DesMcNutty. Film/TV,Pop. 15 pages. Des Press #861150. Published by Des Press (A0.1268629). Happy was written and performed by Pharrell Williams and released in late 2013. It featured in the computer-animated film Despicable Me 2 and became not only the most successful song of 2014 but an enormous worldwide phenomenon, sparking all sorts of viral crazes on the internet. And rightly so. This song's got it all: Uplifting, joyful, soulful, defiantly optimistic – Well, I should probably warn ya, I'll be just fine (Yeah!) Can't nothing bring me down - and as catchy as a pandemic; a lesson to us all. You've just gotta dance. It's a guaranteed hit at parties. This arrangement for string trio is a relatively straight-forward idiomatic transcription in the same tonality as the original recording, so you could even play along with it for fun. The second voice can be played on viola or violin. There is a part for each. The level is on the easier side of “advanced�; quickly rehearsed by professionals and an accessible challenge for experienced students.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.926660 Composed by Michael A. Morizio. A Cappella,Christian,Sacred. Octavo. 112 pages. M.A. Morizio #3588371. Published by M.A. Morizio (A0.926660). During the late spring of 2017, I began composing a new choral piece based on the 1 Timothy 3:16 text. I was studying Paul's first letter to Timothy at the time when this particular passage jumped out at me. Not only was it an efficient summary of the Gospel message, but it was also a textual grouping, or form, such as might be found in a traditional hymn. What I was reading were indeed lyrics to an actual 1st Century Hymn to Christ, the music of which has since been lost. I entitled my piece, Great is the Mystery. I composed the anthem for SATB (a cappella), and set it to the ESV translation of the scripture. Based on its context, I suspected the song would work great for Ascension Sunday. Our choir sang the piece beautifully, crescendoing at the finish to the words, Believed on in the world and taken up in glory! Later that spring, I played the piece for a dear friend of mine who is Pastor at Immanuel Church in Manchester, New Hampshire. What he told me was actually a bit stunning. He informed me that there were (at least) seven specific known Hymns to Christ written into the New Testament Scriptures, whose text is found among the writings of the apostles’ Paul and John. The 1 Timothy 3:16 verse that I had selected for my piece was indeed one of those texts. At that moment, Pastor Don and I made a pact. If he were to supply me with the literal Greek translations of the other six known Hymns to Christ, I would set out to compose brand new anthems for them all. A new musical collaboration had begun.  With this short introduction serving as the genesis of my new song cycle, I offer you these new Seven Anthems to Christ based on the seven known ancient ‘Hymns to Christ' texts found in the New Testament.
