String Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.1368932

Composed by Martin Lass. Chamber,Children,Classical,Instructional. 32 pages. MA Lass & I Lass #953274. Published by MA Lass & I Lass (A0.1368932).

Five Australian Scenes for String Orchestra was conceived with specific iconic Australian places in mind, as well as with the intention to convey the experience of these places programmatically through the music. From this point of view, the pieces could have just as successfully been called Australian Days. As such, each piece represents a kind of day journey in microcosm, like a travel diary set to music. The points of interest in each day are indicated sequentially in the music.

The pieces were written with the intermediate student string orchestra in mind. As such, they explore a wide variety of string techniques, dynamic and tonal contrasts, styles, and moods. Although the writing never takes a student out of first position barring one solo cello passage, and the fingering avoids the use of cello forward extensions and minimises high 3s for the upper strings, the technical, rhythmic, ensemble, and intonational challenges put these pieces at the intermediate level. There are ossias and other alternatives for greater challenge or greater ease. Fingering has been offered where appropriate. And bowing has been meticulously indicated.

This particular piece, Snowy Mountains, is set in the alpine region of Australia, in Thredbo in the state of NSW, which is a popular ski resort. The scene opens with the majesty and austerity of the alpine mountains. Then, the cold sets the teeth chattering and the feet stamping with a paraphrase from Vivaldi's Winter from The Four Seasons but which transforms into the iconic Australian song, Waltzing Matilda. From there, fun is had in the snow followed by the journey up the ski lift to the top of the ski fields. Then, of course, there is the exhilarating ski journey down the mountain! After more fun in the snow, the day ends, everybody tired but happy!

This particular piece, Glowworm Tunnel, is about a day trip in Newnes in the state of NSW. Newnes is a former shale mining site, now abandoned. A railway once ran from the entry of the site to the mine itself. A tunnel was bored through a low mountain to gain access. Since then, the railway itself now removed but the path of it remaining, the tunnel has become the home of thousands of glowworms - a magical and awe-inspiring experience to witness. The piece depicts the journey along the former rail line, the experience of the glowworm tunnel, and the journey back.

Composed by Scott Joplin. Arranged by David McKeown. 20th Century,Jazz,Ragtime. Score and parts. 17 pages. David McKeown #718971. Published by David McKeown (A0.1117425).

Scott Joplin is celebrated as the United States’ first well-known black composer, making his name as a writer of piano rags. His life was a constant struggle with adversity, and Joplin died relatively young in 1917, at the dawn of the recording age. Few remembered Joplin’s music until a revival in the 1970s brought The Entertainer and others to the world’s attention. Nowadays Scott Joplin has taken his rightful place in the gallery of great American composers.

The duets included in this collection are, The Entertainer, The Maple Leaf Rag, The Easy Winners, The Elite Syncopations and The Favorite.

They have been arranged as duets for one Flute and one Trumpet, and include all sections of the original compositions. The YouTube link showcases the clarinet version of these duets. The duets are suitable for players at an intermediate and and advanced intermediate level. Musicians will find these Ragtime duets ideal for formal and informal performances, light and fun, yet still a serious and vitally important part of the American musical heritage. The overall performance time for all five is around 25 minutes.

Teachers will enjoy using these arrangements as a fun way to help with phrasing, syncopated rhythms and light articulation.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.750197

Composed by Ray Henderson. Arranged by Bradley Sowash. Jazz. Score. 6 pages. Bradley Sowash #6477721. Published by Bradley Sowash (A0.750197).

Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue (Has Anybody Seen My Gal?) Stride piano for mere mortals! In the 1920s, legendary jazz pianists such as James P. Johnson and Fats Waller built on characteristics of Ragtime to develop an even more virtuosic and popular genre that came to be known as Stride Piano. Awe inspiring to listen to but difficult to play, the technical demands of authentic Stride Piano often include huge left-hand leaps, chord voicings that span a 10th or more, highly inventive improvised right-hand runs, and lightning fast tempos; all formidable challenges that can elude even highly accomplished pianists! That’s where this new arrangement of a golden oldie comes in. By converting some of its more taxing obstacles into more playable figures, the ever-popular Stride Piano sound is made more accessible to pianists possessing merely reasonable technical skills and/or average handspans. In short, this arrangement is easier to play than it sounds while retaining essential Stride piano traits and even a few tricks of the trade such as unusual syncopations and novelty cluster chords that will enthrall your listeners. Level: Late intermediate and above.Length: 2:40.Pages: 5 including cover.
