Guitar,Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.728050 By Hillsong LIVE. By Eric Liljero, Jonas Myrin, and Reuben Morgan. Arranged by Michael Ware. Contemporary. Score. 7 pages. Michael Ware Music #4338159. Published by Michael Ware Music (A0.728050). The original recording of so many worship songs is not in the right key for congregational singing in church. If a male artist sang the original, the key is usually too high. If the original featured a female artist, the key is often too low. And worse yet, so many worship songs start low and then jump an octave higher, making congregational participation a challenge.  Cornerstone is a song that has some of these problems. Michael Ware’s arrangement fixes these issues, allowing the average singer in the pew more opportunity to participate. The vocal range of the melody is reduced to less than an octave while preserving the spirit and feel of the original. This download is a collection of leadsheets with melody line, optional harmony, chords and simple musical indications. The key is Eb with two different capo options for acoustic guitar. Help your congregation praise Christ the Cornerstone with this great worship song from HILLSONG. Included: Eb Leadsheet Capo 1 Leadsheet (D) Capo 3 Leadsheet (C) YouTube: 2019 Sacred Music Contest Entry

Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1354845 Composed by Toby Fox. Arranged by Fernando Ramos. 21st Century,Children,Pop,Video Game. Score. 5 pages. Fernando Ramos #939548. Published by Fernando Ramos (A0.1354845). Other Arrangements Available: https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/en/category/arrangeme/426/fernando-ramos/?isPLP=1I make piano solo arrangements for my students of songs that they love! My goal is to create something that sounds beautiful as a standalone piece of music and, most importantly, that it also makes pianistic sense. Each of my arrangements is made for a specific student, so the results will vary in terms of playing level. Most decisions are based on their current skills and abilities, or where I would like for them to be when they complete the piece. This arrangement was made for an early intermediate student currently working on Federation class Elementary 4. It has a lot of tricky moments, but remembering to keep RH 4 constantly returning to the G# will help solve a lot of issues. This arrangement is a little different than others of the same song. My student really enjoyed playing the little improv section so it was worth it. This is a great piece to experiment with the pedal, which should be used lightly and mostly for color until the dolce section.Pedaling and fingering suggestions are included.

Small Ensemble Timpani,Trumpet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.977353 By Various Artists. By Airto G Moreira, Gottfried Engels, and Ramon Zenker. Arranged by Des McNutty. Contemporary. Score and parts. 12 pages. Des Press #6438145. Published by Des Press (A0.977353). Part of the series: A Pulchritudinous Posy of Pleasing Party-PiecesA few fancies for five-part natural trumpet ensemble* with optional timpani. At last: Some new repertoire for the historical natural trumpet! This one-handed instrument was familiar to composers such as JS Bach, Handel, Telemann, Purcell, Vivaldi etc., but was largely neglected after the invention of valves in the early 19th century - and the subsequent invention of the nodal vent-hole systems in the late 20th-century - until recently, when the elusive lost art of clarino playing (in the fourth octave and above) was cracked by dedicated optimists such as Don L Smithers and JF Madeuf. These arrangements are a stylistic departure from the trumpet's golden age of Baroque repertoire, featuring works well known in the 20th century, and provide excellent training for rhythmic precision, style, pitching and team playing. They're also fun, if you like that sort of thing. Advice on tuning up the differently-pitched instruments and a technical tip are included. The current regulations on SMP mean us little guys can only publish in-copyright works one at a time. So, you can collect them all and make yourself a tome!  These arrangements were originally written for Lunchtime Tower Music (weather permitting), at the Dartington International Summer School between roughly 2000 and 2010, for courses led by Michael Laird and David Staff. Such performances from the mediæval clock tower involved the various brass and other wind classes playing seriously with an informal atmosphere. Logistical issues, a narrow staircase and the ubiquitous Health-and-Safety regulations prevented the use of timpani on the tower but sometimes larger groups, and those involving vertigo sufferers, played in the courtyard instead. These pieces are the opposite of playing Baroque music on modern, or postmodern instruments. Get them all now and enjoy a refreshing change! Enjoy! DM

Brass Ensemble Euphonium,Horn,Trombone,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.767317 Composed by Claudio Monteverdi. Arranged by Mike Lyons. Baroque,Renaissance. Score and parts. 28 pages. Lyons Music Services #3460733. Published by Lyons Music Services (A0.767317). At long last I have nearly finished the 7th book. This book has posed some issues as it is such complex music it is almost impossible to cut it down to 5 parts while maintaining its integrity. As a result, some songs will be in 6 or more parts.Ecco vicine o bella Tigre is a duet for two tenors, The title translates as The time is near, beautiful tigress . In it, the poet is sad that his lover must leave him and he is telling her he longs to be with her wherever she goes. (It's all lies, of course!)I decided to use two euphoniums/baritones for the soloists, with the accompaniment managed by 2 cornets/trumpets, a horn and a tuba.The seventh book is quite a change from the earlier ones. Monteverdi seems to be concentrating on developing solos and duets, trios and small accompanied ensembles. The accompaniments are often written out with more than just long note chords. The intricate instrumental parts are more than just filling in the harmony (hence the difficulty in paring them down.)Once again, these songs are exquisitely crafted and travel well onto brass.

Chamber orchestra - Grade 3 - Digital Download SKU: IZ.OMS128 Composed by Peter Nostrand. Score and Parts. 34 pages. Imagine Music - Digital #OMS128. Published by Imagine Music - Digital (IZ.OMS128). 9 x 12 in inches.For Chamber Orchestra (Grade 3). By Peter Nostrand. Appassionato is a story about the struggle for love. While it was composed in a traditional ABA structure, there are many elements in this composition which are not at all traditional. As the piece awakens, the oboes and flutes seem innocent and coquettish. As orchestral participation grows, one has the sense of an entire field of rich colors growing before our very ears. Enter the piano. Simple, elegant and romantic. Softly supported by the strings, the piano issues an invitation to the winds. They respond cautiously, obviously curious to see what this charming piano has in mind. The strings express an opinion. It's not what the piano wants and he presses harder. The strings and winds question each other, back and forth with triplets. Who is this piano? The mid-section is an announcement by the strings that a love relationship may be in the cards. The piano replies with passion and tenderness.With eighth notes, the strings become entangled with the piano, counseling it, guiding it. The winds using triplets put their two cents on the table. They're not so sure. The piano makes a passionate plea; the strings are supportive. The piano and the winds have a conversation. They finally dance together. In the end,.Appassionato is a musical expression of the struggle over whether or not love is worth the risk Sometimes in conflict sometimes in harmony, the piano and winds do unite. Passion has won.

Piano,Trombone - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.811123 Composed by Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Romantic Period. Score and part. 6 pages. Gordon Cherry #5218115. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.811123). The Seasons is a set of twelve short character pieces written on commission in 1875 for solo piano, based on a month of the year in Russia. Autumn Song represents the month of October. (Wikipedia) Each movement was first issued individually, in monthly issues of the journal Nuvellist during the year 1876. Mr. Sauer's delightful arrangement of this melancholy work for advanced performers is about 5 minutes in length.

Concert Band - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.886153 Composed by Jason McChristian. Contemporary. Score and parts. 338 pages. Jason Gary McChristian #4349071. Published by Jason Gary McChristian (A0.886153). This series contains four issues. Each issue may be performed separately or may be performed as a whole. The Prologue, sold separately, may also be performed at the beginning of the series. Each issue represents an element, either an archetype, place, or an emotion, commonly found in comic book stories. As a whole, Strange Myths tells a particular story arc, one that is intentionally void of specific details, inviting the listener to imagine the particulars. Each series also contains its own sub-plot and emotional progression, suggesting the traditional symphonic form. Each issue has a duration of three to four minutes, limited to a small, but intensely expressive amount of thematic material. The challenge inherent in this limitation was to create enough contrast, yet not so much as to require more time to resolve it, therefore, each issue is self-contained.

Oboe,Piano - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.796763 By Josh Groban. By Chantal Kreviazuk, Josh Groban, and Thomas Salter. Arranged by Gary D. Belshaw (ASCAP). Contemporary,Pop. Score and part. 17 pages. DR GARY D BELSHAW #5968305. Published by DR GARY D BELSHAW (A0.796763). For the Advanced Intermediate Oboe player. 55 pages. Duration: less than 4 minutes. In E-flat Major, this arrangement is also available in the original key of E Major.First released as a single in 2012, Brave was included in Josh's sixth album, All That Echoes and included in the All That Echoes World Tour. Groban says the song is about about rejuvenation. It is an anthem in the style of You Raise Me Up.Josh Groban's musical style is often placed in the classical category, so it was perfectly natural to take this tune a step further and design it for recitals, seminars, recruiting tours, and for the advanced players in one's studio. Your accompanist will like the way the pizzicato rhythmic figures in the string section have been fleshed out with notes on strong beats to help make the rhythm fit the hand better.Of course, it would be a great show-piece for social and civic events; its inspiring message would even serve in church-related functions. It may take a bit longer to get all of it under the fingers, as anything worth showing off would demand. Keep your eye open for performance opportunities for social groups tackling issues like depression and self-image. But as the song says, Wake up, wake up! Reach out, reach out!Thank you for considering my work. I welcome your reviews or comments about it; I will honor any and all suggestions for improvement. Follow me on Facebook (Gary D. Belshaw Music) and Twitter (@GaryDBelshawMus) - I'll follow you back!

Bassoon,Clarinet,Flute,Horn,Oboe - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.942429 Composed by Claude Debussy (1862-1918). Arranged by Brock Lupton (1948-). 20th Century. 24 pages. Brock Lupton #6858209. Published by Brock Lupton (A0.942429). Claude Debussy was, by all accounts, totally devoted to his daughter Claude-Emma (affectionately known as Chouchou) The suite Children's Corner (for solo piano) is dedicated to Chouchou. She outlived her father by scarcely a year, succumbing to the diphtheria epidemic of 1919. (with information from Wikipedia). The naming of one or two among Debussy's piano works can raise issues in the light of current trends. These were not an issue during the composer's life, but are unlikely to be ignored today. The word Golliwog may have unwanted implications, but its omission may cause confusion with another of the composer's short piano works known simply as Cakewalk. The cakewalk was a dance developed from the prize walks (dance contests with a cake awarded as the prize) held in the mid-19th century, generally at get-togethers on Black slave plantations before and after emancipation in the Southern United States.... It was originally a processional partner dance danced with comical formality, and may have developed as a subtle mockery of the mannered dances of white slaveholders. Following an exhibition of the cakewalk at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, the cakewalk was adopted by performers in minstrel shows, where it was danced exclusively by men until the 1890s. At that point, Broadway shows featuring women began to include cakewalks, and grotesque dances became very popular across the country. [Wikipedia] The grotesque aspect of some later cakewalk dance steps may well be heard in the accompaniment to this work: the oboist's endeavors to produce a soft low B-natural (!) will help create this effect.Technically this piece is intermediate, but the range of the bassoon (especially), oboe, and (to a lesser extent) horn parts are an additional challenge for those players.
