Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quartet Bass Clarinet,Flute,Oboe - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.845259 Composed by Anon. Arranged by Phil Beaman. Folk,Instructional,Sacred,Spiritual. 6 pages. Phil Beaman #6501829. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.845259). This easy Instrumental Quartet arrangement of the old folk/spiritual draws its power and effectiveness from its pared down simplicity. It is reharmonized from other traditional versions and kept in strophic form.  Every measure has the same rhythm - a quarter note followed by a dotted half note.   Most of the time the pair of notes is the same pitch. There is plenty of time to figure out your next new note. There are no extra markings, just basic notes with a few accidentals. The beauty comes from the harmonic chords, so strive to listen for a good balance in your ensemble.This piece can be played majestic or meditative, depending on your mood and event needs. Simple, beautiful, and flexible; just what every musician needs in their repertoire. Great for classroom work as a first ensemble piece and the first small recital piece.  Range - Part 1 is 1 octave; Parts 2, 3, 4 is only a fifth2 page score, 1 page @ part0:50 - 1:15 minutes with repeat

Phil Beaman #6462641. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.845240). 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.

W. V 147 catalog composed by Johann Sebastian Bach around 1723, where the same music in different stanzas of a chorale closes both parts of the cantata.

Romantic Period. 7 pages. Phil Beaman #6513377. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.845271). I have taken selected themes from Zygmunt Noskowski's piano Scherzo and created an Instrumental Quartet in three sections, with each section being a bit louder and fuller, yet always still petit or light (sempre leggiero).  I have named it Petit Allegretto, both as a stylistic classical music descriptor, and also as a play on the ballet term since I have written it with many characteristics of that form.  It is in 3/4 with 2 bar phrases. Each section is 8 bars, repeated.  3 page score, 1 page parts1:15 minutes

Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quartet Bassoon,Clarinet,Flute,Oboe - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.845172 Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by Phil Beaman. Classical,Romantic Period,Sacred,Standards. 24 pages. Phil Beaman #6293705. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.845172). Busslied (Penance) was composed by the Master, L. van Beethoven. It is the sixth 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. Busslied is in three sections; Penance, the Impassioned Plea, and Acceptance and Absolution. Each section has a different key, a different tempo, and a different style. The final section has some virtuosic extended runs for some instruments.
