Solo Guitar - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.979661 Composed by Roger Aldridge. Blues,Contemporary,Folk,Jazz,World. Individual part. 6 pages. Roger Aldridge #484355. Published by Roger Aldridge (A0.979661). Donut Music is an extended piece for solo guitar. It was commissioned by Keith Calmes and is on his CD All We Know is Now. The music was inspired by a line in a story written by my granddaughter Eillonwy (then 8 years old): Sitting in a dark room, eating a chocolate donut. The music represents a stream of memories, images, and thoughts as one’s life is contemplated over a donut. The composition is in 9 movements...or bites. The movements have varied lengths, from miniatures to developed pieces, and draw upon various roots-based musical styles including blues, Appalachian, tango, jazz, and samba. Miniature compositions have been an interest to me for many years. Donut Music's imagery gave me an opportunity to have several miniature compositions along with the longer movements. Above all, this piece is meant to be fun and playful -- especially, in how old and new styles are juxtaposed.

In 2004, the American Film Institute ranked the song third in its list of the 100 best American film songs.The song was adapted for the Chromatic Harmonica and provided with symbols for the channel number, blow/draw and the slider. These symbols are briefly explained in the appendix. The classic musical notation and/or the lyrics help to develop the song, so that even those unfamiliar with music notes can learn to play the song with this arrangement.The sound of a Vibraphone was used in the setting, so the sound does not mix with the sound of your own instrument. The melody is backed by a metronome and quietly by an organ.

Clarinet Duet Clarinet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.588710 Composed by David McKeown. Concert,Latin,Standards,World. 2 scores. 8 pages. David McKeown #5743961. Published by David McKeown (A0.588710). Merengue de Merlín is an exciting original composition by David McKeown, arranged as a duet for two Clarinets.This duet is based on the traditional Latin style of Merengue that emerged in the Dominican Republic during the Nineteenth Century. Merengue Tipico bands maintain the traditional instrumentation of the double-headed tambora drum, güira, accordion and vocal, while urban bands in the North American diaspora often add saxophone, bass and other percussion. The Merengue dance became hugely popular in the 1950s and new forms continue to draw audiences around the world.If you play to an intermediate standard and upwards, then you and your audience will enjoy this piece. The steady quintilla tambora rhythm is present throughout, and following the precise articulation in the score will help convey the style. The main challenge is the fast tempo and melodies should be clearly articulated. Merengue de Merlín has a performance time of around two and a half minutes at full tempo. You can listen to a full performance the Alto Saxophone version of this duet by following the YouTube link above.There are many more top quality arrangements and compositions by David McKeown for you to browse at http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/publishers/david-mckeown/6203

Solo Guitar - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1350480 Composed by Val Burton and Will Jason. Arranged by Christopher J. Malin. 20th Century,Contemporary,Jazz,Standards. Individual part. 2 pages. Christopher J. Malin #935289. Published by Christopher J. Malin (A0.1350480). Solo jazz guitar chord/melody arrangement with tablature. Seldom heard standard in this style. Beautiful melody. I think this one will make you a cut above the rest! A challenging but fullfilling piece of jazz music. This piece makes you stand out as a solo jazz guitarist of all idioms. This is for the chord expert. There are 44 different chords in this piece! Some chords are played as triads or dyads or eliminated, and single notes are used. I draw a line over the note if it's the high note of a chord or I use a dot if it's played as a single note, the chord is then in parentheses. I tend to use a minimalist style that keeps the important parts of the music. Sounds great on acoustic and electric guitars. This was on of Nat King Cole's signature pieces.I love this tune! Hope you will too.

Red Tape Productions #978465. Published by Red Tape Productions (A0.1394978). SATB acapella.  This haunting arrangement of the familiar Advent tune will show off the voices as modified chord structures draw attention from the audience.  The soprano takes the melody in the first verse over an ATB drone.  The second verse highlights a bass repetitive chant as the alto takes over the melody halfway through and keeps it the rest of the piece.  The soprano floats a descant in the third verse as the men reprise the first-verse drone, with everyone coming together in the end, culminating in a unison final tone.  Great for church choirs, holiday choruses and caroling quartets!This setting is also available in SSAA, SSATBB and SSAATTBB acapella, as well as SATB, SAB and SSA with piano accompaniment.  The audio sample is the final verse.

Brass Ensemble Bass Trombone,Euphonium,Flugelhorn,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1289622 Composed by David Taylor. Christmas,Contemporary,Traditional. Score and Parts. 94 pages. Linden Brass Press Inc. #880326. Published by Linden Brass Press Inc. (A0.1289622). ===Pyrenean Carol Suite(for Holborne Brass)Brass Ensemble with PercussionArranged by David TaylorInstrumentation: Trumpet 1 in Eb (alternate Bb part included), Trumpets 2 and 3 in Bb, Flugelhorn, Horn in F, Trombones 1 and 2, Bass Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba, Percussion (Cymbal, Sleigh Bells, Snare Drum, Tenor Drum)Playing time: 12-13 minutesThis epic suite of Christmas music from the mountains of the Pyrenees and the lands adjoining them is suitable for advanced ensembles. Included are Nadal Tindaire (Jingling Christmas), Gabriel's Message (Flugelhorn Solo), El Noi de la Mare (Euphonium Solo), Paure Satan (Tuba Solo), and Fum, Fum, Fum!Marking the border of France and Spain, the mountains of the Pyrenees and the lands adjoining them play host to a rich history, both political and musical, where regional powers have come to be dominated by the larger nations in which they now sit. While Navarre, Catalonia, and Occitania have not existed as nation states for a long time, their cultural sensitivities have never disappeared, they retain their own languages, and their musical traditions offer familiarity combined with interesting differences of approach. From the Basque country in the northwest of the range, spanning the border, with its remarkably unique language, to Catalonia in the southeast's major position in the make-up of modern Spain, vibrant regional cultures continue to thrive. Occitania lost prominence more deeply, and has been more thoroughly absorbed into modern France, but still regional sensibilities are strongly felt and expressed, including a formidable body of folk music. It is perhaps through music that we can most easily identify with these cultures, and the long Christian history of these lands has produced a deep tradition of regional Christmas songs to draw on.   ...David Taylor===.

String Quartet String Quartet - Digital Download SKU: A0.1027501 Composed by André Mestre. Contemporary. Score and parts. 25 pages. Andre Mestre #550737. Published by Andre Mestre (A0.1027501). Submitted for 2015 Areon Flutes International Chamber Music Composition Competition Written between 2014 and 2015. Duration: 6'50 Program notes: Corpo Confesso is part of a larger group of pieces, all of them carrying the word corpo (from portuguese, body). Overall, these works seek to synthesize, from the authors' perspective, two of ways in which one can look at acoustic ensembles: both through their sheer physical reality and through the referential corpus we inherit from their literature. Intimate in character, Corpo Confesso invites the listener to closely experience a multitude of instrumental surfaces. These glances are made possible through a plethora of performative techniques that also draw attention to the intense choreography intrinsic to the stage. The piece alternates more or less self contained windows of material, all of which cast a different light in the quartet's expressive potential. Web: Composer: www.corposinstrumentais.com.
