Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1295702 Composed by Donald Ashwander. Ragtime. Score. 6 pages. The Donald Ashwander Estate #886000. Published by The Donald Ashwander Estate (A0.1295702). Business In Town is a solo piano ragtime composition that takes the listener on a nostalgic journey back to the Great Depression era in Bessemer, Alabama. This musical piece is inspired by the childhood memories of Ashwander, who recalls spending time on his grandparent's farm during those challenging times.The piece begins with a lively and rhythmic introduction, representing the excitement and anticipation of a young child yearning for adventure. The syncopated melodies and playful piano rhythms evoke the youthful energy and restlessness of the composer as he dreamed of escaping the farm life for the excitement of the city. The use of ragtime syncopation adds a playful and nostalgic element to the composition, evoking the spirit of the 1930s.As the composition progresses, the listener can hear the sound of a horse's hooves and the creaking of a wagon as it embarks on its journey. The main theme of the piece, introduced by the piano, captures the bumpy and unpredictable nature of the road, with unexpected twists and turns in the melody symbolizing the potholes, ruts, rocks, and crannies that Maud (the horse) and the wagon encounter along the way.The final page of the sheet music contains special program notes by Donald Ashwander.

This is “Silent Midnight Clear a medley of Silent Night and It Came Upon and Midnight Clear from a collection of flex woodwind quintets arranged by Dr. Donald Jay Smith developed over years of teaching secondary school band. The optimal instrumentation is, of course, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon and Horn. But, additional parts have been added so that a second clarinet can cover the oboe part or a second oboe can cover the clarinet part (I actually had that problem once-two great oboe players and no clarinet available to cover the part), Bass Clarinet covering Bassoon and a Bb Horn part in case the student only reads that part on the horn or is covered with flugelhorn/baritone or another Bb instrument. The quintets were always performed one per part and the students enjoyed playing this arrangement from 6th grade through high school!

Brass Ensemble Horn,Trombone,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1038764 Composed by Edward Elgar. Arranged by James Symington. 20th Century,Classical,Film/TV,Patriotic,Romantic Period. Score and parts. 9 pages. James Edward Ernest Symington #643742. Published by James Edward Ernest Symington (A0.1038764). The name of the variation refers to Augustus J. Jaeger, who was employed as music editor by the London publisher Novello & Co. He was a close friend of Elgar's, giving him useful advice but also severe criticism, something Elgar greatly appreciated. Elgar later related how Jaeger had encouraged him as an artist and had stimulated him to continue composing despite setbacks. Nimrod is described in the Old Testament as a mighty hunter before the Lord, Jäger being German for hunter. In 1904 Elgar told Dora Penny (Dorabella) that this variation is not really a portrait, but the story of something that happened. Once, when Elgar had been very depressed and was about to give it all up and write no more music, Jaeger had visited him and encouraged him to continue composing. He referred to Ludwig van Beethoven, who had a lot of worries, but wrote more and more beautiful music. And that is what you must do, Jaeger said, and he sang the theme of the second movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8 Pathétique. Elgar disclosed to Dora that the opening bars of Nimrod were made to suggest that theme. Can't you hear it at the beginning? Only a hint, not a quotation. This variation has become popular in its own right and is sometimes used at British funerals, memorial services, and other solemn occasions. It is always played at the Cenotaph, Whitehall in London at the National Service of Remembrance. A version was also played during the Hong Kong handover ceremony in 1997 and at the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games. The “Nimrod� variation was the final orchestral composition (before the national anthem) played by the Greek National Orchestra in a televised June 2013 concert, before the 75-year-old Athenian ensemble was dissolved in the wake of severe government cutbacks. An adaptation of the piece appears at the ending of the 2017 film Dunkirk in the score by Hans Zimmer. This arrangement for Brass Quintet has been adapted to suit the instrumentalists. The key has changed and this makes it much more playable and more secure.
