Brass Ensemble Horn - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.873893 By The Beach Boys. By Brian Wilson and Mike Love. Arranged by Petey C. Pop,Rock. Score and parts. 13 pages. Petey C. #6252129. Published by Petey C. (A0.873893). First of all, if you're considering purchasing this quartet, check out the store on my website https://peteyc.com/store to see what I have there. My arrangements there are cheaper and most of the revenue will go to the arranger (me) instead of sheet music plus.I love The Beach Boys. As a teenager, I was definitely exposed to a fair amount of their music for some reason. It's not always easy to transform this kind of music into an idiom that sounds good as instrumental chamber music, however, this is part of my quest to develop a broad range of popular music that I can play live with a small group on the instrument I love - the horn.This is great for university students and professionals. There are not a lot of great, challenging horn quartet arrangements out there, like this one is. Depending on which part you play, this one may require a solid high range and/or low one (although some alternate notes are suggested for those who wish to avoid the extremes). This arrangement helps fill a niche for small ensemble in that horn quartet music typically lacks repertoire in most contemporary and rock genres. I've tried to have the melody move around a bit so it's fun and interesting for everyone. Score, parts and cover arts included. I hope someone out there tries this arrangement and has fun!

String Quartet Cello,String Quartet,Viola,Violin - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.844848 Composed by Felix Alexandre Guilmant. Arranged by Phil Beaman. Romantic Period,Standards. Score and parts. 16 pages. Phil Beaman #5741603. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.844848). Alexandre Guilmant (1837-1911) was a Parisian organist, performer, and composer. This Marche was originally written for organ in his pedagogical books. I have arranged it for Instrumental Quartet in typical Romantic Symphonic style and I have filled it with expressive markings to bring out the incredible drama of this piece. There is a Trio style section in the sub-dominant key which I treat as an instrumental duet. The piece is Advanced Intermediate realizing that it pushes many of the instruments to both extremes of their ranges. It is furthering challenging due to the plethora of romantic accidentals including double sharps and double flats and constant dynamic changes. This piece amply rewards you in the end with a very impressive and dramatic repertoire performance piece.

Violin Duet Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1488286 Composed by Ignaz Josef Pleyel. Arranged by Allan Badley. Classical. 55 pages. Artaria Editions #1065174. Published by Artaria Editions (A0.1488286). Artaria Editions AE407-2Ignaz Pleyel (1757-1831) was at one time the most famous composer in the world. The popularity of his music eclipsed that of even his teacher Haydn and publishers vied to bring out his latest works as soon as they were finished. Some 2000 separate prints of Pleyel works had appeared by 1800 and his fame extended to every corner of Europe and as far afield as North America. Pleyels career as a composer spanned less than thirty years with the majority of his works composed in the 1780s. He founded a successful publishing house in Paris in the mid-1790s and later began manufacturing keyboard instruments. With increasing demands on his time from his business concerns Pleyels productivity as a composer dropped sharply and he ceased composing around 1805. Among the authentic chamber works the duos occupy a particularly interesting place. Pleyel composed duos of varying technical difficulty in order to appeal to the widest possible market and he clearly intended that players progress from easy works, signalled by titles such as Duo Facile or Petit Duo, to more ambitious works. The present works, composed ca 1788, lie between these two extremes: they require players with well-developed techniques but do not present exceptional difficulties to the performer. They are graceful, attractive works and their great popularity in Pleyels lifetime comes as no surprise to the modern performer.

Unison/Two-part chorus - Digital Download SKU: C7.CGA130 Composed by Randolph Currie. General. With Handbells 2 octaves, Glockenspiel. Sacred Anthem. Octavo. 8 pages. Chorister's Guild - Digital #CGA130. Published by Chorister's Guild - Digital (C7.CGA130). UPC: 749193003176.Brethren, We Have Met to Worship' is an arrangement of an American folk hymn with a pentatonic melody; the text is by George Atkins. Although quite within the realm of Junior-age choirs, the words would seem to indicate performance by high school or even adult singers. The first stanza, though in unison, could alternate men and women as long as the sturdiness of the tune is maintained. The second, in canon, has the boys posing questions with the girls answers overlapping. This section should be unusually animated so that the listener is swept along with the dialogue. The final stanza, unison with descant, probably would be best with first sopranos on the obbligato, all other voices on the tune. Having the lower women's voices join the men on the melody will fill in the extremes of the part writing and give more possibilities for the divisi in the last few measures. The composer has given some general registration suggestions for performance on the organ. Light, clear sounds should be used that will support the voices as well as emphasize the rhythmic nature of the piece.

Brass Ensemble Trombone,Tuba - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1039200 Composed by Hayden Woods. Contemporary. Score and parts. 20 pages. Hayden Lee Woods #644151. Published by Hayden Lee Woods (A0.1039200). This piece is the mindset of an individual who, after being sheltered amidst the justified fears of a global pandemic, begins to feel the effects of not being able to actively work or be around others. This causes the individual to hallucinate extremes of the new “normal� that comes after. The tempo of the piece is ranged because the most optimal effect is a bending of tempos (in an agreed upon setting of individual ensembles and their leaders), which also is reflected in dramatic trombone bends. The melody jumps in segments, with each part becoming one of the many voices haunting the crazed individual. The middle of this piece moves into D major, where the individual starts to make sense of the voices and begins escaping the reality they are in. Of course, euphoria comes in waves, so the individual is pulled back into their shelter and has to accept this reality yet another day. Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat......

Giuseppe Verdi's opera IL TROVATORE, which premiered in 1853, is one of emotional and dramatic extremes and is sometimes called confusing and absurd.  But it also contains some of Verdi's best arias and selections, including the duet AI NOSTRI MONTI (Home to our Mountains).In a Spanish Castle's prison cell, Manrico (a troubadour, rebel army officer) is trying to comfort his mother Azucena as she believes she will be burned at the stake, as was her mother years before.  Eventually, Manrico is successful and Azucena falls asleep.This arrangement for British-style Brass Band features the Flugelhorn (as Azucena) and the Euphonium (as Manrico) as they sing (play) of their passion for and longing for their home in the mountains.Duration 4:10   33 pages.

Chicory Music #2948385. Published by Chicory Music (A0.734337). HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING - Clarinet Quartet w/opt. Acoustic Bass and Drum Set Parts Hark! The Herald Angels Sing is a Christmas carol that first appeared in 1739 in the collection Hymns and Sacred Poems, having been written by Charles Wesley. Wesley had requested and received slow and solemn music for his lyrics, not the joyful tune expected today. Moreover, Wesley's original opening couplet is Hark! how all the welkin rings / Glory to the King of Kings.[1] The popular version is the result of alterations by various hands, notably by Wesley's co-worker George Whitefield who changed the opening couplet to the familiar one, and by Felix Mendelssohn. In 1840, a hundred years after the publication of Hymns and Sacred Poems, Mendelssohn composed a cantata to commemorate Johann Gutenberg's invention of the printing press, and it is music from this cantata, adapted by the English musician William H. Cummings to fit the lyrics of Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, that propels the carol known today.This arrangement, in the clarinet friendly key of F concert, can be preformed as a quartet with or without the optional acoustic bass and drum set parts. No extremes in range or technique are required to play this intermediate level piece. Your performers and audience will enjoy the modern harmonies used in this presentation. Performance time approx. 2 minutes 6 seconds.

Chamber Orchestra - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1453498 Composed by Sy Brandon. 21st Century,Contest,Festival. 235 pages. Sy Brandon #1032727. Published by Sy Brandon (A0.1453498). Legacy is a three-movement composition for chamber orchestra that makes social commentary on the issue of global warming. It was commission in 2007 by the Washington Sinfonietta, Rufus Jones, conductor and rewritten for chamber orchestra in 2023. I. Conflicts - This movement begins with a cry from native cultures admonishing our neglect of the environment. The cry is interspersed with debate regarding the seriousness of global warming (woodwinds). The debate grows stronger as the cries grow weaker. The debate isquieted by a measure of repeated chords that could be the words, stop it! stop it now!” A weak cry in the English Horn brings the introduction to a close. An Allegro section follows with a rhythmic and primitive sounding section representing the underdeveloped nations that are destroying the rain forests for economic gain. This material evolves into a more harmonic and contrapuntal section representing industrialized nations reluctant to change, also for economic reasons. Things quiet down as the music takes the listener to another part of the globe, East Asia. Conflict is again present in this section. The music returns to a varied restatement of the industrialized nations music before traveling to India for a section influenced by Raga. This section builds in dissonance until we hear the repeated stop it now chords from the introduction. A brief reprise of the cries brings the movement to a close. II. Consequences - This movement evokes a somber mood that is reflective of living in a climate of extremes. The movement is in arch form as it begins and ends with open harmony reflective of barren lands that once were fertile. The middle section serves as a climax expressing the harshness of the climate. Colleen McCullough's book, A Creed for the Third Millennium was a source of inspiration for this movement. III. Sacrifice and Compromise - The movement begins with a strong section that suggests progress. It is followed by a quieter and intense section that alternates lyrical lines over a staccato ostinato creating a sense of urgency. The opening section returns and is followed by a development of the ostinato section. This section is symbolic of how ideas need to be adapted in order for progress to be made. The opening section returns once more before leading into the concluding section where there is coming together of the instruments on a long lyrical line representing more and more people working together for change. The movement ends with a sense of triumph over adversity. Score prints on legal size paper and parts on letter.

Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.792200). Robert Marsteller had an illustrious career as a performing artist and a pedagogue, influencing hundreds of musicians in a major way. His Six Etudes most likely were written while studying at the Eastman School of Music in the late 1930's and are dedicated to his teacher Emory Remington. The etudes are one page each, very challenging technically, cover the four major clefs, explore the extremes in range and are very satisfying musically to perform. If practiced correctly, these etudes will surely be a help to aspiring performers.

Towards the end of his life the Spanish painter Goya completed a series of works now known as 'The Black Paintings'. 'Saturno' is the most horrifying of them all, and the composer writes: 'The piece makes a dramatic use of extremes of register and dynamics. According to mythology, Saturn is devouring his own sun and fearful of being usurped.'.

Full Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.994719 Composed by Darian Stavans. 20th Century,Contemporary,Standards. Score and parts. 66 pages. Music Studio #4321783. Published by Music Studio (A0.994719). Noir et Blanc.Noir et Blanc - Orchestral Score / Album Noir et Blanc by Darian Stavans.Noir et Blanc is a work that was totally conceived for orchestra. As we listen to the album we are intrigued, for the only element lacking is the contrast suggested by the title. Why? The answer is that contrasts do not exist. They are simply the furthermost points in a grayscale that when displayed like a fan shows these extremes and therefore their contrasts. The deeds and acts that flow inside our mask of power come and go in nostalgic melancholy through pain and glory trickling like the water in a brook, where tenderness meets madness. Sometimes everything seems the same even though each element acts differently. This album speaks about that intriguing grayscale and the powerful force that lets it plunge into the depths of human essence and the soul. In the face of facts, seemingly distinct and at the same time so alike, only courage will prove out their differences and make us dare call out the Noir et Blanc, the Black and White, but until that moment comes things will appear to flow in a grayscale. Orchestral work.64 pages.Duration: 39:00Website: www.darianstavans.comemail: darianstavans@gmail.comYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/darianstavans/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Darian.Stavans1.

B-Flat instrument,Bass Clef Instrument,C Instrument,E-Flat Instrument,Instrumental Solo,Piano - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.781994 By The Cyrkle. By Bruce Woodley and Paul Simon. Arranged by Aaron Hettinga. 20th Century,Contemporary,Folk,Pop,Rock. Score and individual part. 18 pages. Aaron Hettinga #6036639. Published by Aaron Hettinga (A0.781994). This oldie but goodie by Cyrkle and Simon & Garfunkel is presented here in a flexible arrangement for Instrumental Solo with Piano Accompaniment. This package includes transposed parts to allow for any instrumentalist to play this song with a pianist. All of the packaged solo parts are prepared to be relatively accessible to players of even moderate ability as there are no major range challenges that are taxing to the extremes of any instrument. Alternatively, the soloist may optionally wish to play the written part an octave higher (such as for Flute or Violin). The technical challenges may come about if taken at a particularly brisk tempo, but even a slightly slower interpretation will sound great.

Twenty-three sacred hymns and songs From the Foreword: Recent years have seen much increase in the activities of small and medium sized instrumental ensembles in schools at all grade levels, generally as an adjunct of band and orchestral programs.Many churches and Sunday Schools also use ensembles of various types in programs and services. Such groups are looking for playable music that is also interesting and worthwhile. This collection contains settings of sacred hymns and songs, and other selections, all of which should be usable in the church and the school. The hymn and song treatments are not just instrumentations of standard hymnal type, but are complete arrangements, using such devices as introductions, bridges, reharmonizations in present day idioms, rhythmic variety, countermelodies, etc. All selections have been scored for a six (or five) part brass ensemble with the following part books available: (preferred instruments are listed before the parenthetical substitution possibilities) Part 1: C Instruments (Violin, Oboe, Flute); 1st Bb Trumpet or Cornet (Bb Clarinet) Part 2: 2nd Bb Trumpet or Cornet (Bb Clarinet) Part 3: 3rd Bb Trumpet or Cornet (Bb Clarinet); F Horn (English Horn); Eb Horn (Alto Saxophone, Eb Alto Clarinet) Part 4: Baritone treble clef (Tenor Saxophone, Bass Clarinet); Trombone (Baritone bass clef, Bassoon, Cello) Part 5: Baritone bass clef (Trombone, Bassoon, Cello) Part 6: Tuba or Sousaphone (Bassoon or Cello with occasional lower range limits, String Bass 8vb) While hoping to keep the selections interesting and worthwhile for experienced players, they have generally been restricted to a medium level of difficulty (or Grade III as defined by the Instrumentalist Magazine). Extremes of range and key signature have been avoided, lead parts have ample time to rest and catch their breath and technical demands are usually modest. Selections which could have been expanded to larger proportions (such as A Mighty Fortress) have been held to a modest length, in order to give younger musicians a better chance to play them successfully. Footnotes in the conductor's score indicate how the longer medleys can be abbreviated, if that is desirable. WESLEY HANSON
