Choral Choir (SSA) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1003298 Composed by Dennis Tobenski. Contemporary,Folk. Octavo. 12 pages. Dennis Tobenski #539737. Published by Dennis Tobenski (A0.1003298). Sunset: St. Louis for SSA choir and piano was written at the suggestion of a conductor I met at the 2013 American Choral Directors’ Association national conference in Dallas, TX. He lamented the lack of new music for SSA choir that kept the voices within a restricted range yet wasn’t simplistic, and also didn’t use a restricitve number of accompanying instruments; throughout the week his sentiment was echoed by countless other conductors who I had the pleasure of spending time with. At that point, I also had no music for treble/women’s choir in my catalog, so this piece is not only an attempt to fill in this hole in the repertoire, but also an attempt to fill in the hole in my own choral output. The piece opens with a short passage for solo piano evocative of late afternoon light on water which leads into the voices’ hazy entrance of close diatonic harmonies and loose, liquid rhythms. After this soft opening, the piano begins a gently undulating, water-like accompaniment that – like the Mississippi – flows by, bringing harmonic shifts and swells. The words Dream by the river captured my imagination, conjuring images of the city drifting to sleep as the sun sets, so I couldn’t resist making the single word Dream into a refrain, weaving it into the larger structure of the poem, which makes the piece not only a love song to the city, but also a lullaby. The vocal parts have a compressed range: Soprano 1 has a few unsustained Gs, and the Alto line never drops below B-flat. There are some minor challenges with rhythm and pitch (hemiolas, tuplets, and some harmonic cross-relations with the piano), but all are navigable. The piece was written and prepared for publication in a compositional frenzy between 1pm on March 30, 2013 and 7pm on March 31, 2013 in Montauk, NY.Duration: ca. 4 min. Composed: 2013 Registered with ASCAP. Please email dennis@dennistobenski.com so that your performance of Sunset: St. Louis can be added to Dennis' website calendar.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1098119 Composed by W.C. Handy. Arranged by Scott S. Stewart. 20th Century,Blues,Historic,Instructional,Standards. Octavo. 24 pages. Scott S. Stewart #701988. Published by Scott S. Stewart (A0.1098119). William Christopher [W.C.] Handy, (who often referred to himself as the ‘Father of the Blues’), first published “St. Louis Blues,� (The jazzman’s Hamlet), his most famous composition, in 1914. It became one of the most popular and celebrated jazz standards in history. The musical style of a tango merged with the blues, and lyrics, a lament about a woman on the streets of St. Louis distraught over her husband’s absence – written in a southern dialect style – make this a fascinating introduction to the evolution of ‘the blues’ for student and audience member alike. Arranged for 4-part SATB ensemble with piano accompaniment, and notated for a classically trained group of musicians, this entry level primer serves not only to inform but present Handy’s creativity and genius. Performance time: 6:00+ An apt study for Black History month.

Concert Band - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.534138 Composed by Louis Adolphe Mayeur. Arranged by Paul Wehage. Opera,Romantic Period,Standards. Score and parts. 204 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #3133407. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.534138). Louis Adolphe Mayeur (1837 - 1894), was a Belgium clarinetist, saxophonist, composer and conductor who spent most of his musical career in France; Entering the French Military in 1855, he was a clarinetist in the Second Régiment of the Cuirassiers (Mounted Calvary) of the Garde Impériale. A student of Klosé at the Paris Conservatory, he received his First Prize in Clarinet in 1860. One of the inner circle of Adolphe Sax (along with fellow Belgiums Jules Demersseman and Jean-Baptiste Singelée, whose “Quartet for Saxophones“ was premièred with Mayeur playing and Demersseman conducting), Mayeur took up the saxophone and was quickly engaged as the saxophone soloist in the Opera House of Brussels, La Monnaie (the Mint). Sax commissioned a number of works from Mayeur for the saxophone, which were published by his company and used in his class at the Paris Conservatory.By 1871, Mayeur was also named Saxophone Solo with the Paris Opera, performing in opears and ballets by Halévy, Meyerbeer, Thomas, Saint-Saens, Massenet,   Délibes and Paladlihe. It would appear that sometime during this period, his relations with Sax became difficult, culminating in his publications of works by Buffet-Crampon, one of Sax’s rival companies and one of the main protagonists in the series of lawsuits which led to Sax’s bankrupcy. Mayeur’s own declining health lead to his death in 1894.The Grande Fantaisie de Concert sur Rigoletto dates from 1877. The contrasting sections use motifs from arias and duets from Verdi’s opera. Florid cadenzas seperate the various sections, but those passages should be played in the manner of “bel cantoâ€� ornamentation, always lyrical and songlike.  This is the score and complete parts for the concert band version. Versions are available from Musik Fabrik for piano, for Symhony Orchestra (on rental : 2222/2000/Timp/hp/strings) and for Concert Band (for sale). The score plus solo part for each of the versions is available for sale, as well as the individual parts for the concert band version

Published by Derek Hasted (A0.1379807). WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD (Louis Armstrong) - 4 GUITARS/LARGE ENSEMBLEFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes This is a very accessible arrangement of a real classic! It works well as a guitar quartet, and sounds even more impressive played by a larger ensemble.The key is just a semitone lower than the original Louis Armstrong version, and most of the chords will seem instantly familiar. The choice of key means that you might just get an audience singing along - all the sections of the original are here.Guitar 1 is the tuneGuitar 2 swaps between the string section, the flute and the horns of the originalGuitar 3 is arpeggio based, and the first instance of each shape is fingered.Guitar 4 is the bass line, and is presented in both treble and bass clefs (play one or the other or both!)I hope you enjoy playing this piece!This is one of a large and growing range of accessible ensembles from experienced arranger Derek Hasted, and is supplied as full score and parts.

Piano Solo - Digital Download SKU: A0.934767 Composed by WC Handy. Arranged by James Cox. Blues,Ragtime. Score. 3 pages. James Cox #4268769. Published by James Cox (A0.934767). Title: â€ƒâ€ƒSt Louis BluesDuration: 2 minutes This arrangement provides a fantastic arrangement of the St Louis Blues for Piano. No, this piece is not (and in my opinion, should not be) swung. St. Louis ragtime was generally not swung, and it seems obvious that this is St. Louis ragtime. It was also written before swing became popular, and thus would not have been swung when it was originally published. This is an ideal piece for someone wanting to explore the cross over from ragtime into blues.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jamescoxmusicWebsite:   https://www.jamescoxmusic.co.uk/
