Piano,Voice Duet Piano,Voice - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.844597 Composed by Phil Beaman. 20th Century,Sacred. 7 pages. Phil Beaman #4270291. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.844597). The text for this accompanied Soprano and Alto duet is taken from Psalm 3 about how the Lord will deliver you from your enemies. The emotions of the text shape the music, as in an Art Song. The vocal parts often stagger their entries and overlap in canonic and fugal ways. There are gentle dissonances between the vocal parts and the piano. Overall, the style is Early 20th Century, reminiscent of the French composers known as Les Six (Poulenc, Milhaud, Honneger, Durey, Tailleferre, and Auric.)   Marked expressive and fervent this piece is both beautiful and powerful, and equally qualified for either the church or the concert stage.  7 pages

Piano,Violin - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.844472 Composed by Cecile Chaminade. Arranged by Phil Beaman. Romantic Period,Standards. 9 pages. Phil Beaman #3408933. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.844472). Cecile Louise Chaminade (1857-1944) was a French Romantic composer and pianist. She is often overlooked as a musician yet she was the first female composer to win the Ordre National de la Legion d'Honneur, France's highest award.  In 1890 she wrote a piano piece whimsically titled La Lisonjera (The Flatterer). It is a great example of late Romantic writing for the masses with an eye to publishing.   She is lyrical, expressive, and emotional; using dynamics, wider note ranges, and chromaticism. It exhibits her trademark of being 'passionate yet virtuosic'.  I have arranged La Lisonjera for Violin and Piano, keeping all of the traditional Romantic characteristics intact. I have added greater contrast between the themes, making the A theme appassionata, and reserving her molto capriccioso for the B theme which I also slow down a bit to allow for more playfulness. It is my own interpretation of articulation and simplified virtuosic passages. The accompaniment is my own reduction to allow the solo to shine freely.The arrangement is still marked as Advanced Intermediate because I have kept it in the original Key of Gb (6 flats) which I believe adds to the character of the piece. Also because in the capriccioso section I have constant, and rapid, alternation between pizzicato and arco. (MIDI recording does note reproduce pizzicato.)This arrangement is perfect for Recital and Repertoire as a performance of the 'overheated emotions' of the late Romantic era. Enough virtuosity to show the violinist's technique. Accessible and enjoyable for all audiences.(3:30 minutes; 2 without repeat)6 page score, 3 page part
