Daniels (A0.1417418). Dance at Sunrise is a Delightful Dance to Celebrate a New Day.  It's a relatively simple piece with a few not-so-hidden surprises for those who know what they need to hear. Possible challenges with Dance at Sunrise could be the number of accidentals and a tricky rhythm is some places. The good news is that once these sections are learned the first time around, they are repeated a few times so that the piece has continuity and becomes enjoyable to play.

Published by John R. Daniels (A0.503413). Although often attributed to J. S. Bach, the Minuet in G major was actually written by Christian Petzold. This arrangement pays homage to the flavor of the original by using a traditional chamber wind quintet for the opening measures. Then it morphs into a lively pop version that employs alternate chords and modal settings, counter motion and counter-melodic elements, prepared fifths instead of the modern suspension, and an uplifting key change.  PLEASE NOTE - THE COVER PAGES AND CONDUCTOR'S SCORE ARE 8.5 X 14 INSTEAD OF 8.5 X 11.IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR ENSEMBLE TO GAIN MORE MEDIA EXPOSURE, please record your performance of this piece and email it to CustomMusic@Salt-Cellar-Creations.com.

String Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1488074 Composed by Franz Xaver Gruber (music) and Joseph Mohr. Arranged by John R. Daniels. Christian,Christmas,Classical,Holiday,Traditional. 18 pages. John R. Daniels #1064951. Published by John R. Daniels (A0.1488074). This arrangement of Silent Night for String Orchestra stands out as one of the most hauntingly beautiful, with its ethereal sound that culminates in a glorious conclusion. It has very unusual voicing; the music is not based on any chord progression, but rather on independent, interweaving melodic themes. The violas have the melody for a while. And, a couple of times the second violin part is above the soprano part. It is a very contemplative presentation of the carol.This piece is loosely classified as an Advanced Intermediate skill level. The notes aren’t difficult, and it’s relatively slow, but the intervals may be a bit tricky to play in tune.

The Call not only evokes a sense of longing because separation is so often a part of life, but it also reassures those being separated that they will be needed again by those from whom they have been separated. This arrangement captures the beauty and power of those emotions of lasting friendship. It also has piano and guitar (including bass) parts that are playable by an intermediate high school music student.

Lush harmonies and gentle motion help portray the song's look at the future that includes the hope of heaven for those who believe. This arrangement has a few challenges but is still fun to sing.  It has simplified a number of passages from the pop solo version to make it possible for a choir to sing them together.  And, there is a separate piano score with the same measure numbers and a few lyric cues.

Daniels (A0.492627). In the spirit of Scott Joplin, The Old Warsh Rag is a ragtime piece for concert band. It’s intricate enough to offer a bit of a challenge, yet very playable so that the band enjoys its efforts. There’s a counter melody that is played by itself and then superimposed on the main melody at the end. It’s written for high school concert band or community band; I chose the key so that, even when it gets a bit intricate, it should be easy enough for everyone to play. The title for The Old Warsh Rag is a tribute to the unique way that people speak where I grew up in southwestern Pennsylvania.IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR ENSEMBLE TO GAIN MORE MEDIA EXPOSURE, please record your performance of this piece and email it to CustomMusic@Salt-Cellar-Creations.com.

A delightful little waltz that sounds a bit off kilter because it has seven-measure phrases. To balance that, there are also two countermelodies presented, with the final A section featuring the main melody and both countermelodies in a grand calliope sound. The Cantummit Waltz is called that because I found it hard to hum a few bars when asked to do so by some people who were helping me name it. So they suggested that I call it the I Can't Hum It Waltz. Can't Hum It became Cantummit. IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR ENSEMBLE TO GAIN MORE MEDIA EXPOSURE, please record your performance of this piece and email it to CustomMusic@Salt-Cellar-Creations.com.

Christian,Christmas,Classical,Holiday,Traditional. 25 pages. John R. Daniels #1064931. Published by John R. Daniels (A0.1488059). The Holly and the Ivy is an old Christmas carol with questionableorigins. This arrangement is a wonderful exploration of the variety of ways that the original could have been played or sung. It sports a number of places with textures, and layering, in the form of a round, as well as three time signatures, with relatively easy transitions. An all-round delightful arrangement that should be within the playing reach of many String Orchestras.
