Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quartet Clarinet,Flute,Oboe - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.845273 Composed by Z Noskowski. Arranged by Phil Beaman. Romantic Period. 7 pages. Phil Beaman #6514441. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.845273). 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

Classical,Romantic Period,Sacred,Standards. 8 pages. Phil Beaman #6293527. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.845167). Vom Tode (Death) was composed by the Master, L. van Beethoven. It is the third 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. Vom Tode is full of subtle dissonances as it solemnly, but Faithfully, contemplates the end of life. There is a rhythmic ostinato for the unrelenting march to Him.

Christmas,Contemporary,Jazz,Sacred. 35 pages. Phil Beaman #6473809. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.845243). 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

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
