Small Ensemble - Digital Download SKU: A0.976717 Composed by Robert Myers. Contemporary,Easter,Sacred. Score and parts. 67 pages. WheatMyer Music #4794639. Published by WheatMyer Music (A0.976717). It Is Not Death to Die is a new setting of French poet Henri Abraham César Malan's Non, ce n'est pas mourir as translated by George Washington Bethune and adapted for this work. Why this text? It first came to my notice shortly after the passing of Billy Graham, who was known to paraphrase D. L. Moody,   Someday you will read or hear that Billy Graham is dead. Don’t you believe a word of it. I shall be more alive than I   am now. I will just have changed my address. I will have gone into the presence of God.Graham's bold proclamation and Malan's poetry motivated me to focus anew on the resurrection, re-remembering it as the pivotal element of the Christian faith. For if there is no resurrection, Paul says in 1 Cor 15, our faith is useless. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead! Unfortunately, singing about heaven has, perhaps, been neglected of recent decades. We seem to have focused more on the already to the detriment of the not yet. But it is important to remember that this life is not all there is! Quoting Paul again, the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us (Rom 8:18). Yet, if Christ delays, the grim inevitability of our transition into eternity is a certain experience we all face. Malan's poetry so poignantly and eloquently captures this tension that it compelled me to compose a fresh musical setting that attempts to captures the mixture of dread and hope borne out in the acclamation that death is swallowed up in victory! I pray that this setting aids the Church to remember the great hope and promise Christ has granted us:   O Death, where is your victory?    O Death, where is your sting?_______________________________________________________________________________________________The music opens with a C# diminished chord in a very still and somber texture reflective of grief. The text is introduced with the first of two main motives, a rising 4-note outline of B minor in a triple repetition of It Is Not Death. As each stanza proceeds the music concludes on the second motive, a 5-note descending span of a minor 7th in Bb Lydian. The energy and mood of the music gradually shift over the five stanzas, as the focus moves from this life to the next; the texture thickens, the harmony expands, and the dynamic grows into the music’s pinnacle on reign with You on high! The music closes on a reprise of the opening section, simultaneously mindful of our mortality and our eternity.Available with orchestral (this version) or piano accompaniment, It Is Not Death to Die is a fitting close to the Easter season, or is suitable for Ascension Sunday, a funeral or memorial service, or any time in the church year to remind Christians of the central hope of our faith, eternal life in Christ.Robert MyersS.D.G.Orchestration   2 1 1 1 1   2 2 2 1 1   Timp   Glock   Perc            Mark Tree, Sus Cym, Crash Cym, Snare, Bass Drum, Mid Tom, Triangle, Tam Tam   Piano   Strings

String Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1432024 By Juan Maria Solare. By Juan Maria Solare. 20th Century,Classical,Contemporary,Historic,Instructional. 15 pages. Juan Maria Solare #1012503. Published by Juan Maria Solare (A0.1432024). Orchestraining is a cycle of orchestral studies, each focusing on different aspects of performance. These studies are specifically designed for non-professional orchestras, although any orchestra will improve by playing some of these pieces during rehearsals. It is always necessary to pay attention to intonation and many other aspects of orchestral performance.In addition, these studies are also useful for orchestral conducting students. For example, it is essential to know how to conduct a simultaneous attack of a chord that does not begin on the first beat, but a eighth note after the third beat.I began writing these studies around 2013, when I took over the direction of the Bremer Orchestergemeinschaft and noticed the complete absence of repertoire of this kind. As a pianist, I am accustomed to studies by Carl Czerny or playing scales. Each individual instrumentalist knows studies of technique for their instrument. However, there are no, or at least I am not aware of, similar studies for orchestral performance technique and the specific difficulties of ensemble playing that it requires. The cycle Orchestraining aims to fill this gap.The third Etude focuses on Spiccato and is therefore only for strings.

A collection of Grade 3 & 4 pieces covering a variety of rhythms commonly encountered in the Boogie & Blues genre.Saturday Night BoogieAn upbeat, fun to play Grade 3 piano boogie with swing (jazz) eighths over a walking bass.

Eighth notes (quavers) should be played straight. Jitterbug BoogieThis lively Grade 3 boogie was inspired by the swing dancers of the early 20th C.

The RH playsblues scale patterns and syncopated rhythms. Eighth notes (quavers) should be swung.Boogie 1-4-5A lively Grade 3 boogie rock focusing on Primary Triads in root position. This piece requires well coordinated hands, a neat staccato touch and quick chord changes. Eighth notes (quavers) are best played straight.Boogie TrainA lively, fun to play Grade 4 piano boogie with a typical LH boogie bass. The LH bass is a common but difficult pattern requiring flexibility. Students should be able to span octaves comfortably before playing this piece.1st Inversion BoogieAn upbeat Grade 3 piano boogie in the key of C Major. RH focuses on 1st inversion triads and is played over a steady walking bass. Attention to articulations and accents is needed to convey the jaunty character of this piece.Chameleon BoogieInspired by the chameleons' unusual rocking movements when walking, this fairly lively Grade 3 boogie blues is based on a typical I IV V progression. Standard fingering for chromatic scales has been used for the turns. Eighth notes (quavers) should be lightly swung.Jingle Bell BoogieA lively, fun to play Grade 4 boogie arrangement of this popular Christmas carol. LH plays a fairly easy walking bass in the verse, before breaking into a well known boogie pattern for the chorus. LH needs to be relaxed, have flexibility and the ability to span the broken octaves comfortably.
