Instrumental Duet,Piano B-Flat Clarinet,Cello,Instrumental Duet,Piano - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1272500 By Maria Thompson Corley. By Anonymous. Arranged by Maria Thompson Corley. 21st Century,Classical,Religious,Sacred,Spiritual. 31 pages. Maria Thompson Corley #864725. Published by Maria Thompson Corley (A0.1272500). “Crossing Jordan� grew out of my daughter Kiana’s surprise request that I arrange a spiritual for voice, piano and cello for her senior recital. She received a degree in commercial music the year before COVID shut everything down, at a time before climate change made blizzards an anomaly here in Central PA. As a result, snow days still existed. I spent one of them doing the first draft of “Deep River,� her favorite.Later, I decided that if singers engage a cellist for a concert, they might like to program more than one piece for them, so I chose two more water-themed spirituals to complete the set. “His Name So Sweet� is a more meditative version of the song than I’ve generally heard. I wanted the piano, cello, and briefly the voice to imitate the fountain in the text. The mood is ecstasy, resulting from the fundamental change that baptism is meant to create. “Deep River� also includes “Michael Row The Boat Ashore� and “The Water Is Wide.� The latter isn’t a spiritual, however, taken together the message is that the river is deep, the water is wide, but with (the Archangel?) Michael’s help, Jordan can be crossed. “Wade in the Water� is one of the most well-known spirituals. I focus on the idea of escaping enslavement: the opening is quiet, furtive, maybe even nervous. The Moses in the text can be understood to be Harriet Tubman, who might urge escapees to wade in the water so pursuing dogs couldn’t follow their scent. In my mind, the ending symbolizes that the party has vanished, never to be enslaved again.The first instrumental version of “Deep River� was for trumpet and piano, performed by my sister, Alicia Thompson, and her son, Justin Griffin, during a church service in Atlanta shortly after I arranged it. After hearing a recording, I took borrowed her idea of adding a repeat (which she did to allow enough time for the ushers to take up collection). The clarinet, cello and piano version was premiered by the Isosceles Trio (Doris Hall-Gulati (clarinet), Sara Male (cello), and me (piano)). When Naima Burrs, violinist and conductor of the Petersburg Symphony, asked if I had any pieces for trio, I created a version for violin, piano and cello. The flute/piano/cello version may have been performed, but if so, nobody has mentioned it to me.P.S. I’d love to hear that version, if you have a recording of it.

Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quintet Bassoon,Clarinet,Flute,Horn,Oboe - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.553605 Composed by Franz Liszt. Arranged by Ray Thompson. Christmas,Romantic Period,Sacred. 16 pages. RayThompsonMusic #3222733. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.553605). Weihnachtsbaum (English: Christmas Tree; French: Arbre de Noel) is a suite of 12 pieces written by Franz Liszt in 1873–76, with revisions in 1881. The suite exists in versions for solo piano and piano four-hands. Weihnachtsbaum does not demand great virtuosity, and it has been described as a distant relation of Schumann’s Kinderszenen and Debussy’s Children’s Corner. It occupies an unusual place in Liszt’s output, and it may be for these reasons that it has received relatively little attention from performers. Liszt dedicated Weihnachtsbaum to his first grandchild Daniela von Bülow (1860-1940; daughter of Cosima and Hans von Bülow). Daniela had accompanied her grandfather to Rome due to his frail condition. The first performance was on Christmas Day 1881 in Daniela’s Rome hotel room. This was the day on which her mother Cosima always celebrated her birthday, although she was actually born on Christmas Eve.This is no 4. Adeste Fideles (O come all ye Faithful) Arranged for wind quintet: a somewhat different version than the usual carol.Transposed into Bb from the original In A to aid performance.2017 Holiday Contest Entry

These beautiful melodies present themselves in characteristic traditional style. The arrangement is suited to the intermediate level for church, school or community ensemble. The range of each of the instruments are accessible. However, the first trumpet part does go above the staff in a couple of spots. Be Thou My Vision is in canon form. To perform it with ease, the quartet may rehearse the melody all together first before playing as written. .

Stewart J Wallace #855880. Published by Stewart J Wallace (A0.1262871). This song first appeared on the 1977 album Exodus and was released in 1980 as a single which peaked at 17 in the UK charts. This easy arrangement would suit choirs that are starting to learn to sing in parts, with only some occasional singing in thirds and a repetative counter melody. The delivery needs to be relaxed and largely staccato, with emphasis on the first beat. The melody in the verse bars 24-26 needs to be sung with conviction otherwise it can sound slightly wrong and dissonant. The arrangement includes a simple piano accompaniment which can be developed further, and there is also a vocal-only score included.

Easy Piano - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1377216 By Adam Allan. By Adam Allan. Arranged by Adam Allan. Children. Score. 5 pages. Adam Allan #961834. Published by Adam Allan (A0.1377216). The purpose of these etudes is to improve weak 4th and 5th fingers. Each etude consists of two parts, which are divided by a double bar line. In the first part attention is paid to each hand individually. In the second part both hands must be synchronized, this is a very difficult challenge for a beginning musician. At first, it is recommended to play the etudes in a slow tempo, followed by acceleration. It is also necessary to thoroughly separate the 3rd, 4th and 5th fingers from each other during the playing. Enjoy!

The version of Beethoven's 'Drei Equale' for male choir was added to the original's first and the last movement by Ignaz Seyfried, a friend of Beethoven. The second movement was performed on a later moment, but the link between the instrumental version (with text by Frans Grillparzer) was not made. I have taken the freedom to put these two together in this score, and transposed it one major second down to make it fit smoothly in between the other two movements. The first and last movement also contained a text in Latin, but since the second movement was only available in German, I also used the German texts for the other movements.
