Baroque,Classical,Romantic Period. 14 pages. Phil Beaman #6505871. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.845260). Zygmunt Noskowski was the great Polish composition professor. He is best known for his symphonic works, but also wrote many piano pieces based on dances. I have taken his piano Gavotte and freely arranged it for Instrumental Quartet.  This brisk piece is lively with a busy texture. I have crafted 4 independent lines that are each of equal importance and the focus quickly shifts from one part to the other. The lines rhythmically weave together, answering each other. The real interest in the piece is the constantly changing and contrasting dynamics and articulation. Often every beat of the bar has a different articulation, and the individual parts rarely have the same articulation at the same time. (i.e., One part might be slurred while another part is playing staccato and yet another is accented.) This complexity of texture creates energy and excitement. A great piece to spice up any concert with a fun smile.  This composition is a fusion of multiple eras; originally written during the Romantic period, but with many Classical elements and a Baroque form and style, to which I add some Contemporary touches.  Notes and rhythms are Intermediate, but adding all of the markings at this pace makes it Advanced Intermediate.6 page score, 2 page parts2:10 minutes

Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quartet Bassoon,Clarinet,Flute,Oboe - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.845168 Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by Phil Beaman. Classical,Concert,Sacred,Standards. 7 pages. Phil Beaman #6293577. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.845168). Die Ehres Gottes aus der Natur (The Glory of God in Nature) was composed by the Master, L. van Beethoven. It is the fourth of the Sechs Lieder (Six Songs), published in 1803, which foreshadowed the Art Songs of the Romantic Era. Originally for Voice and Piano, I have arranged it for Instrumental Quartet. My arrangement stays true to Beethoven's intent to capture the passion of the original text in the music. (The texts are all sacred poems by Gellert.) Without the presence of lyrics I needed to create musical interest and interpretation, so I realized inner voices and polyphony out of his original homophonic accompaniment. I added new shape to individual lines, altered phrasing, elaborated rhythms, and in true Beethoven style added more dynamic markings. The mood and meaning are now stunningly portrayed through music alone. Die Ehres Gottes is full of joyous majesty and wonder. It has been made into a popular anthem and hymn under the title The Heavens Are Telling.

Published by Phil Beaman (A0.844685). Aire du Frolick will put a smile on your face! This playful tune is arranged from a 1905 pop ballad by Carrie Jacobs-Bond. I converted it to an Instrumental Quartet with the melody in the lower Alto Flute part with three upper C Flute parts accompanying on grazioso pulsing chords. I added new life to the piece by adjusting phrasing, articulation, dynamics, etc. (A reviewer said this arrangement conjures images of a Viennese Carousel.)  Great for a short interlude of fresh Aire in any recital or concert.An easy to play crowd pleaser, but marked Early Intermediate due to a range of an octave and a half.2 page score, 1 page parts1 1/2 minutestemporary recording of piano reduction of score

Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quartet Bass Clarinet,Bassoon,Oboe - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.845239 Composed by Anon. Arranged by Phil Beaman. Christmas,Contemporary,Jazz,Sacred. 35 pages. Phil Beaman #6462617. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.845239). For this Christmas here is a dramatic Fantasia for Instrumental Quartet based on the old English carol God Rest You Merry Gentlemen. It is an eclectic fusion of Classical music and 1950's Free Jazz and West Indian/Caribbean rhythms with exuberance and pulse. It is in verse-refrain form, but is very freely treated and each of the four verses is wholly unique. Every single note is written to express, and sometimes expand upon, the word of the text at that point in time. There is an irregular meter which changes every few bars using 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, and 7/4 but always maintaining a strong pulse. It contains abrupt changes in dynamics and a rubato tempo with many markings of articulation. This is a challenging work with dynamic results.19 page score, 4 pages each part; 35 pages total4:45 minutes
