Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.925770 Composed by David Nelson Jex. 20th Century,Concert,Contemporary,Graduation. Octavo. 9 pages. David Jex #2154591. Published by David Jex (A0.925770). 2016 Choral Contest EntryArt is a fire! is a bold statement on the importance of Art in our lives and society.Composed for SATB Chorus and Piano it is of moderate difficulty, with a length of 3 1/2 minutes.. The text is from a poem written by our older son, Matthew. He has a gift to express ideas and emotions in words that I do not, and I was very pleased and excited when he gave me permission to set his poem to music. The music is in an overall ternary form, with the fiery outer sections tempered with a more spiritual middle segment. The piano plays an important but supporting accompanying role. The music is somewhat tonally oriented, with an E minor basis for the more passionate outer sections. These sections also require the choir to sing some chromatic melodic and harmonic lines and constructions. The rhythm also varies somewhat, asking the chorus to express these emotional portions of the piece. The flowing middle section has a more consistent tempo and is centered in C major. This key seems to have the qualities of innocence and peace, which offsets the more restless and fiery E minor of the rest of this work. This more meditative center section also has a more triadic basis than the somewhat contrapuntal textures surrounding it. It invites the music performers and listeners to experience the joy of Music and Art, while the closing music and text sing of the passion and energy of the artistic experience.

DF McCorkle Music and eBook Publications #11633. Published by DF McCorkle Music and eBook Publications (A0.784815). ACT ONE: Song 2. The King, by Dennis McCorkle, is a contemporary pop-rock musical of the first two kings of Israel, Saul ben Kish and David ben Jesse and explores the contrasting lives and outcome of each man’s choices in life. [1 Samuel 8:1-3 - And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel. 2 Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abijah: they were judges in Beersheba. 3 And his sons did not walk in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.] [Prologue] The curtain rises on the main room of the King’s palace in Jerusalem where the funeral service for King DAVID is being held. The eulogy recounts the life of David and his kingship over Israel that had begun over eighty years prior. A time when there were no kings in Israel except for their God, a time when the Judges governed the people and a time when SAMUEL, an elderly Prophet of God and last Judge, turned his position as Judge over to his two sons. Self-serving and motivated by greed and self-importance, his sons choose paths that were contrary to their father. [A Little Bit Here and a Little Bit There]. Also included with your order is our new 20 page catalog of over 150 titles at no additional charge.

David Oosse #1sortUrmgC4z7A8eT8O2W. Published by David Oosse (A0.1144558). Key: D minor.A New Beginning is a marimba solo written based on the many personal and internal changes and revelations I had within the first few months of leaving my home town for more than a couple weeks for the first time. Not only was leaving alone a new beginning, but the opportunities and accomplishments, as well as the hardships and the failures, have already brought an entirely new meaning to my own life, as well as those of others around me. The piece itself represents uncertainties and instabilities leading to new opportunities and personal development, paralleled with a passion and a drive to thrive in a world of seemingly endless possibilities. The structure is roughly as follows: Wondering, unknowing, expecting, renewing, rebuilding, unknowing yet trusting, expecting and thriving, and looking beyond. Duration: 4:20 Equipment: 5.0 Oct. Marimba.

Vocal Solo,Voice - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.888252 Composed by Edward David Zeliff. Contemporary. 43 pages. Edward David Zeliff #4765299. Published by Edward David Zeliff (A0.888252). This is a dramatic and highly effective vocal work for one soprano with piano accompaniment. It can be staged with a single prop of a small armchair, or performed as a stand-alone song cycle. It tells the story of a Woman and the Great Love in her life. This Love is called off to war, and she is so sensitive that she knows when the conflict has taken her Partner from her forever. She then has to deal with her loss and come to a point of release. The entire libretto is constructed from the poetry of the 19th century American poet Emily Dickinson. The music is modern yet melodically and harmonically accessible to audiences and performers alike. It is very powerful and communicates a great depth of feeling.

Woodwind Ensemble Flute - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.910433 By Duke Ellington. By Duke Ellington and Irving Mills. Arranged by David Heywood. Jazz. 61 pages. David Heywood #6437245. Published by David Heywood (A0.910433). Looking for something different? How about some thing VERY different? Here is the 1931 Duke Ellington classic It Don't Mean a Thing (if It Ain't Got that Swing) done as a drum feature, with a very modern harmonic approach and aggressive melodic ideas. This fast swinging chart starts with energetic solo drum time, then the entire flute ensemble trades eights (as a soli based on motives from the melody) with the drums for two choruses before a brief statement of the melody. This is followed by open solos over the original changes, and an open drum solo. The chart then transitions to a half-time swing free-for-all with fragments of the melody flying in all directions, capped of by a brief return of the opening section. Not for the faint of heart, and definitely not the same old jazz flute choir experience! Scored for piccolo, five C flutes, alto and bass flutes, piano, bass, and drums, with optional guitar.

Originally a setting of a poem by John Betjemen, this piece arranged for piano solo, has become a wordless song in its own right. The somewhat cryptic title is a line taken from the original poem.

The whole suite of music is available on SMP in one book As Wordless as the Windy Sky (Book) or as separate pieces.
