Instrumental Duet Instrumental Duet,Piano - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.917496 Composed by Traditional English Melody. Arranged by D. E. Mathers. Christmas,Concert,Contemporary,Sacred,Standards. Score and parts. 9 pages. D. Eugene Mathers #4835819. Published by D. Eugene Mathers (A0.917496). This traditional melody has been arranged to be playable by two pianists at differing early stages of development: the primo calls for the beginner level (level I), whereas the secondo places more advanced technical demands (ranging from levels II-III). Stylistically, the arrangement evokes both the early modernism of Erik Satie (specifically the harmonies, meter, and texture of his famous Gymnopedies) and, in the refrain (two statements), straightforward harmonies and counterpoint more directly suggestive of traditional common practice.

Organ - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.965265 Composed by Boyd E. Gibson. Christian,Contemporary,Sacred. Score. 4 pages. Boyd Eugene Gibson #2963755. Published by Boyd Eugene Gibson (A0.965265). This work takes the motive and theme of the African American Spiritual and reworks it into a new melody followed by a fugue based on the opening interval of the spiritual.

Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.965303 Composed by J. S. Bach/Boyd E. Gibson. Baroque,Contemporary,Sacred. Score. 10 pages. Boyd Eugene Gibson #5993725. Published by Boyd Eugene Gibson (A0.965303). This setting of the 23rd Psalm combines the new melody with J. S. Bach’s famous chorale, Sheep May Safely Graze from his Cantata No. 208 as the accompaniment in the same way that Charles Goundo’s setting of his Ave Maria uses Bach’s Prelude No. 1 from the Well Tempered Clavier. The added melody is interwoven within the fabric of Bach’s music which makes a wonderful backdrop to this well known and well loved Psalm. I have included an accompaniment for organ or piano. However, if you have any other instrumental arrangement that remains faithful to Bach’s setting feel free to use it with my setting of Psalm 23.  

Chamber Orchestra - Digital Download SKU: A0.944028 Composed by Music by Ofer Ben-Amots, Story by Eugene Ionesco. Contemporary. Score and parts. 92 pages. The Composer's Own Press #4605319. Published by The Composer's Own Press (A0.944028). COMPOSER’S NOTE: Story Nr. 2 for chamber ensemble and a narrator, was written as a commission for the 1983 Children's Music Festival in St. Omer, France. Since its inception, the work has been widely performed in French, German and English. The narrative of Story Nr. 2 is a little known children's story by the great French author and playwright Eugene Ionesco (1912 – 1994). The story is about play on words. Little Josette has a conversation with her father who teaches her the new meaning of words: A Telephone is called Cheese, a Cheese is a Music Box, the Music Box is called a Rug and so on. The meanings become funnier and stranger ad absurdum. Then Josette and her father combine the words into sentences and practice the new mismatched names and objects. The characters participating in the story beside of Josette and her father are Josette's pretty mother and the maid  Jacqueline. Each of the characters has its own musical theme and color represented by distinguished instrumentation: Jossette's theme is played by the flute, the father is represented by the trumpet and trombone, the pretty mother by the oboe and Jacqueline by the xylophone and piano. The new orchestral version which includes the string section was written in 1990.  Performance material by rental only!

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.917499 Arranged by D. E. Mathers. Christmas,Concert,Contemporary,Sacred. Score. 3 pages. D. Eugene Mathers #4852711. Published by D. Eugene Mathers (A0.917499). Deceptively simple, this highly stylized setting of the traditional melody commonly known also as Mueller raises difficulties of voicing and sonority likely to challenge even advanced intermediate players. In a contemporary cultivated idiom throughout, the arrangement begins very simply and progresses through myriad textural changes, all while retaining the opening's endearingly pastoral, if somewhat austere, expressive tone. It makes an excellent addition to Christmas recitals and to contemplative parts of worship services during the holidays. The duration occupies approximately one-and-a-half minutes.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.965300 Composed by Boyd E. Gibson. Arranged by Apex Music Company. Contemporary,Sacred,Spiritual. Octavo. 7 pages. Boyd Eugene Gibson #5319441. Published by Boyd Eugene Gibson (A0.965300). This African American spiritual uses the image of asking Jesus to come so close to us when we pray that he is pictured as laying his head in our window to hear us pray. This arrangement builds on this through the use of canons that are not exactly identical to show the personal nature of our prayers and relationship. It also employs text from Psalm 86:1-3 which implores God to bow down to hear our prayer. The Psalm setting is in the style of chant and organum, which adds a truly emotional element to the music.
