String Quartet String Quartet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.731809 Composed by Turlough O' Carolan. Arranged by Thomas Quigley. Celtic,Classical,Concert,Holiday. Score and parts. 16 pages. Thomas Quigley #3390789. Published by Thomas Quigley (A0.731809). This may differ from what O' Carolan had intended, as it has been re-arranged in a classical style, with copious articulations, dynamic markings and changes of texture. It is however a very fine piece which exploits the potential of his compositions to be transferred to other ensembles. A very good student or amateur quartet will enjoy the modern nuances in the off-beat rhythms, and will relish the opportunity to turn the piece into a highly effective concert item. As always, it is possible to juxtapose two O Carolan tunes. This one could be preceded by a slow movement such as O' Carolan's Devotion.

In the Hall of the Mountain KingGrieg BackgroundIn the first place, Edvard Grieg (1843 –1907) was a Norwegian composer as well as a concert pianist. As a matter of fact, most music historians consider him one of the foremost Romantic era composers. Consequently, his music is part of the international standard classical repertoire. Grieg moreover used Norwegian folk music in his own compositions.  Consequently, he ushered Norwegian music to transnational consciousness. Furthermore, he forged a national musical identity for Norway. It is important to realize that he did this in a manner similar to Jean Sibelius in Finland, and BedÅ™ich Smetana in Bohemia.LegacyGrieg is celebrated in the city of Bergen. For example, the city has erected numerous statues depicting Grieg. Specifically, the city has named a concert hall (Grieg Hall), a music school (Grieg Academy) and a professional choir (Edvard Grieg Kor) after him. As a matter of fact, there is also a museum located at his former home in Troldhaugen.Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 (Op. 46)Grieg wrote incidental music for the purpose of illustrating a play by Ibsen known as Peer Gynt. The play includes, in particular, the famous selection entitled, In the Hall of the Mountain King. In this composition, Grieg indeed depicts the exploits of the scoundrel, Peer Gynt. In one famous episode, for example, Peer steals a bride at her wedding. For this reason, the people chase him, but soon Peer falls, thereupon striking his skull on a boulder. He wakens forthwith in a highland bounded by angry gnomes. Consequently, the music of In the Hall of the Mountain King represents the mad gnomes taunting Peer. Therefore, each time the theme repeats it gets louder and faster. In the end, Peer surprisingly escapes from the mountain.Holberg Suite and Misc. SummaryIt must be remembered that Grieg originally wrote his Holberg Suite for the piano. In other words, he only later arranged it for strings. Further, Grieg composed by and large many songs with lyrics by famous writers such as Heine, Goethe, Ibsen, Hans Christian Andersen, Rudyard Kipling, and others. On balance, Norwegian pianist Eva Knardahl recorded altogether Grieg’s whole piano catalog on LP in 1980. These recordings were released again on CD in 2006. In any event, Grieg himself performed and recorded the bulk of these pieces toward the end of his life.

Full Orchestra - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1515188 Composed by Barry Gray. Arranged by Chris Siddall. Film/TV. 114 pages. Chris Siddall Music Publishing #1089680. Published by Chris Siddall Music Publishing (A0.1515188). 30th September 1965 saw the first airing of creator Gerry Anderson’s iconic Supermarionation” series Thunderbirds. Set in the 2060s, the series follows the exploits of International Rescue, an organisation that uses technologically-advanced rescue vehicles to save human life. The series was notable for using marionette puppets but being filmed in the style of a feature film, incorporating dynamic shooting and lighting, and three-dimensional sets and extensive use of model miniatures. Special effects were directed by Derek Meddings, who later became known for his work on the James Bond (from Live and Let Die to GoldenEye), Superman and Batman (1989) movies. During his time working on Thunderbirds and Gerry Anderson’s other Supermarionation series, Meddings and his team developed a number of innovations in the filming of miniature models and landscapes which have since become standard in the industry.Having collaborated with Anderson on six previous TV series, composer Barry Gray was the obvious choice to provide music for Thunderbirds. Employing a large orchestra which dwarfed other TV productions of the time, he made extensive use of leitmotif, which each of the Thunderbird machines having its own theme, as well as notable characters such as Lady Penelope and the Tracy family’s arch nemesis The Hood.Now musicians, music students, conductors – any music lover – can study the complete score from Thunderbirds: Trapped in the Sky in this high-quality edition, carefully reproduced and edited from the original handwritten manuscript.

Downloadable, Score. Duration 20 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q11694. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q11694). German.The Belgian composer and conductor Kurt Bikkembergs (*1963) has turned Goethe's Sturm und Drang hymn 'Prometheus' into an impressive four-part choral setting with soprano solo: Onomatopoetic and spoken elements alternate with declamatory passages, sound effects with chordal, expressively catapulted sounds, mysterious chord shifts with sprinkles of imitation. Bikkembergs exploits the choral possibilities to the extreme, includes even scenic elements and has created a composition that is rewarding for the performer and exciting for the audience – a valuable addition to the repertoire!

Saxophone - difficult - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q18134 For Soprano (or Alto) Saxophone solo. Composed by Thierry Pecou. This edition: Sheet music. Downloadable. Duration 6 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q18134. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q18134). The composition Perroquets d’azur owes its existence to the oboist François Leleux who issued the commission in 1993 and gave the first performance of the work. The composition was quasi reborn when the saxophonist Nicolas Prost persuaded me to produce an arrangement for saxophone which was premiered in 2008. In adherence to a compositional tradition which attempts to transfer a polyphonic structure to a monodic instrument and simultaneously inspired by the folkloristic music I heard on my first journeys to Cuba and Mexico, it was my intention to communicate an impression of the multifaceted complex rhythmic polyphony characterising Afro-Cuban music. The piece exploits all registers of the oboe and additionally incorporates the brief incipit of a Yoruban chant in praise of the god Changó. The music develops in an atmosphere of increasing effervescence, culminating in an intensification of the rhythmic nucleus of Afro-Cuban music: the clave.Getreu einer Werktradition, die versucht, eine polyphone Struktur auf ein einstimmiges Instrument zu übertragen, und gleichzeitig inspiriert von der folkloristischen Musik aus Kuba und Mexiko, will dieses Stück einen Eindruck von der Vielgliedrigkeit der komplexen rhythmischen Polyphonie, wie sie in der afro-kubanischen Musik vorherrschend ist, vermitteln. Die Partitur entwickelt sich in einer Atmosphäre wachsender Erregung, um in einer Übersteigerung der rhythmischen Keimzelle der afro-kubanischen Musik zu enden: der clave.
