Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1166886 Composed by Suzy Robinson. Arranged by Suzy Robinson. 20th Century,Chamber,Contemporary. 5 pages. Suzy Robinson #767094. Published by Suzy Robinson (A0.1166886). I wanted to write something based on a mediaeval mystery play and happened across an 11th Century version of the play of the Bridegroom – the tale of the wise and the foolish virgins. It was called Sponsus and is the oldest of this type of play written in both the vernacular and in Latin. What is even more extraordinary is that it is, in fact, a trilingual text in Latin, langue d'oc, and some words in the langue d'oïl. The passage which I have set is in langue d'oc, but for ease of singing I used a modern-French translation. This is scored for soprano, baroque violin, and viola da gamba. It can be performed at 415 or 440 ad libertum.I am very taken by the patchwork nature of mystery plays which is part promenade, part liturgy, part staged, part audience participation. I hope that having set a straightforwardly strophic text and using instruments more often heard in Early Music, jigsaws well with the more modern angular and sometimes dissonant nature of the melodic lines of this piece. I love the play of languages, and the mixing up through words and music of past, present, and future, revealing that time is perhaps a circuitous exploration rather than a strictly linear trajectory. And the end of all our exploring / Will be to arrive where we started / And know the place for the first time..

Harpsichord - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.862494 Composed by Michael Bomier. Contemporary,Instructional,Standards. Score. 2 pages. Michael Butkus-Bomier #2031747. Published by Michael Butkus-Bomier (A0.862494). Wow, A# Locrian, kind of intimidating, eh? Fear not, as one of the subjects trills throughout, between the two white keys in the scale, and their upper and lower adjacent black keys. The piece is in 12/8 and the melodic theme has a three-2/8 note turn feel to it, with staccato notes sprinkled in. More playable and readable than might it might seem upon reading the title! I'd be foolish to write a piece in this mode without making it something do-able! MBB.

Published by Will Corbin (A0.1414056). Brass quintet arrangement of this classic Sousa march. This Sousa favorite is derived from his 1896 operetta of the same name. And, no, it's not about that peak in Yosemite. El Capitan was a fictional rebel chieftain ordered killed by the fictional viceroy of Peru, who then, in the operetta, impersonated the dead rebel. Frolicking, merriment and romance ensue. Yes, it's that foolish. But it's a great march.

Most of the mistakes I made in life were between the ages of 12-16 years. Somehow I felt that I was smarter than I was. I thought that my friends were smarter than they were. I felt invincible. I made many foolish mistakes during those years. About that time, my family was preparing to move from Oregon to Utah. I remember my mother talking with me and saying that I could start over again. We would be in a new place with new people. No one would know me. I could be the person I truly wanted to be. I thought about this a lot, and when we finally made the move I had decided what kind of person I really wanted to be. In fact, I felt bad for being the wrong kind of person and hurting other people physically and spiritually. I eventually felt so bad about my mistakes that I decided that I would write or call the people I had hurt and apologize to them. Over the period of a year I was able to find, call and apologize to each of them. To my great surprise none of them were still angry with me. I was forgiven. That was a great feeling. This day will be forever what you choose. Once you leave this life you won't be able to return and right any wrongs that you have committed. So when you make a mistake, choose to make it right today so that this day, this day of good choosing will be what will last forever. Never let yourself do something that you know inside is wrong. If your friends are trying to talk you into doing something you know is wrong, don't just sit there and listen to them. Get up and leave the room, or the party, or the situation. Be true. Be the one. Be the son or daughter of God. Do what He would do.
