Piano,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1216987 Composed by Saint-Saëns, Camille (1835-1921). Arranged by Kamada, Mikio. 20th Century,Opera. 9 pages. ACORDO Sheet Music #813515. Published by ACORDO Sheet Music (A0.1216987). The story of Samson and Delilah is found in the Old Testament. Gaza, an ancient city of Israel, was once ruled by the Philistines. However, the Hebrew hero Samson killed the governor of Gaza. In revenge, the Philistine beauty Delilah tempted Samson to reveal his weakness. This led to the aria Mon cœur s'ouvre à ta voix, sung at the climax of Delilah's seduction. The aria, written for a mezzo-soprano, beautifully expresses the seductive atmosphere and Delilah's intense passion. It's considered one of the finest arias in all opera.In the scores, the solo part plays both Delilah's and Samson's parts. In the duets period, Delilah's part is played by the piano and the solo instrument plays Samson's part. Samson's part is written in a lower range, emphasizing the contrast with Delilah's part.The original piece is written in D-flat major, which can be challenging for some string players. This version is transposed to G major for their convenience.

Instrumental Duet Flute,Instrumental Duet,Oboe - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.590550 Composed by David McKeown. Celtic,Folk,Holiday,Irish,Wedding. Score and parts. 4 pages. David McKeown #6212681. Published by David McKeown (A0.590550). Grá, (Irish for Love), is a beautiful original composition by David McKeown, arranged as a duet for one Flute and one Oboe.This duet is inspired by the Irish sean-nós style of singing. Originally sung unaccompanied in the Irish Gaelic language, in more recent times the melodies have been adapted as instrumentals, harmonised and given accompaniment. The songs are most often about love and loss and Grá aims to capture this melancholy mood.Grá is written for players at an intermediate standard and upwards. Expressive throughout, the first part of the melody is played above a drone. Simple accompaniment then builds towards a climax before the melody slips away like a distant echo. Players can add their own appropriate ornaments and variations to the melody if they wish. Grá has a performance time of a little over three minutes. Click the link above to hear a full performance of the Clarinet version of Grá on Youtube.There are many more top quality arrangements and compositions by David McKeown for you to browse at http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/publishers/david-mckeown/6203

Saxophone Quartet,Woodwind Ensemble Alto Saxophone,Baritone Saxophone,Soprano Saxophone,Tenor Saxophone - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1416369 Composed by Johannes Brahms. Arranged by James M. Guthrie. 19th Century,Chamber,Contest,Festival,Historic,Romantic Period. 9 pages. Jmsgu3 #998049. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.1416369). Brahms composed this short piano piece in 1853, when he was around 20 years old, as a contribution to a guest album. It was recently rediscovered and published in an Urtext edition. The piece has a pastoral, four-bar central theme featuring parallel thirds in the hands, giving it an orchestral character. The B section becomes more transparent, with the parallel thirds disappearing. Brahms later reused the theme of the Albumblatt in the Trio section of the Scherzo movement of his Horn Trio Op. 40, composed around 12 years later. This reworking shows the composer expanding on his original idea and making it richer and more satisfying in his mature work. The Albumblatt is considered an early, relatively simple composition compared to Brahms' three piano sonatas written that same year. However, it is still a valuable example of the young composer's genius. The main editorial issue is the unexpected piano marking in measure 47, which seems out of place for achieving a melodic climax and may have been a mistake by Brahms.

Published by Alfred Music - Digital Sheet Music (AX.00-PC-0014576_F1). UPC: 038081385679.Gather Ye Rosebuds takes its title from a line in a poem by Robert Herrick. The poem exhorts us to take advantage of the time we have been given, for all too soon it will be gone. The work opens with a bold statement in the winds, giving way to a plaintive melody in the flute. The music builds to a glorious climax using the power of the full sonority of the winds, and ends softly, in a reflective mood.Concert/Contest.

Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1446709 By Barbra Streisand. By Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman, and Marvin Hamlisch. Arranged by Fred Barton. Film/TV,Pop,Standards. Score. 6 pages. Fred Barton Music #1026475. Published by Fred Barton Music (A0.1446709). A shattering climax, with the return of the main tune after the second bridge, is the highlight of this new piano-vocal arrangement, which ranges from romantic mystery to mainstream pop with a classical framework. Starting low and slow, a modulation upwards into the repeat of the bridge lifts the vocal into the mid-high range  for the fireworks – then the song ends in a warm, contemplative mood.

Small Ensemble Clarinet,Piano,Tuba - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.775974 Composed by Cason Cooman. Contemporary,Standards. Score and parts. 48 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #2034873. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.775974). Shadowbook (Three Songs in the Night) (2013) for clarinet, tuba, and piano was commissioned by and is dedicated to Kevin and Susan Wass. As the title implies, it is music that possesses a certain dark energy. It evokes not so much a night of tranquility, but rather one of great intensity. The titles of the movements are poetic, not programmatic-each intends to give a sense of the mood that pervades the music. The Bearer of Bad News begins obsessively with re-iterations of a unison pitch. The movement unfolds lyrically outwards from this texture, finally reaching a climax in an intense return of the re-iterations, before a coda brings the energy back down. A Desperate Peace draws from the spirit of fierce lament. It evokes a line from Tecumseh of the Shawnee American Indian tribe: When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home. In Towards Morning an obsessive rhythmic pulse pushes the music forwards towards the coming day. The night’s dark energy, however, is not soon forgotten. The set includes a piano score and parts for Bb clarinet and tuba.

Easy Piano - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.821279 Composed by Edvard Grieg. Arranged by Judith. L. Maggs. Classical,Halloween,Holiday,Romantic Period,Standards. Score. 6 pages. Maggs #6021345. Published by Maggs (A0.821279). In the Hall of the Mountain King from Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite is a delightfully fun piece, and it's relentless minor tune works especially well around Halloween. This arrangement (which uses the full length of the original piece) is at an intermediate piano level, and is really quite easy to play, because of all the repetition. The fun is in getting faster and faster and louder and louder, until the frantic climax.

Choral Choir (TTBB) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.892463 By Mama Cass Elliot. By Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. Arranged by LABBS Music Category. A Cappella. Octavo. 6 pages. LABBS - Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers #4580047. Published by LABBS - Ladies Association of British Barbershop Singers (A0.892463). An uplifting song arranged by members of the LABBS Music Judging Category in 4 part close harmony transposed for men's voicings, in the barbershop style (internal melody). Sticking fairly close to the original, the arrangement features solos of each voicepart on the melody, and rousing homophonic choruses. The standard tag builds to a satisfying climax, with an optional extended tag that sends it through the roof! The arrangement is suitable for most male barbershop choruses and quartets as a fun, fairly quick learn for performance repertoire. Each voicepart is well within the standard barbershop ranges of most arrangements. Note: if you are unfamiliar with the scoring of male barbershop music, be aware the treble clef should be sung an octave lower than written, as designated by the 8 below the clef.This arrangement is not suitable for use in barbershop contests.This song and arrangement would also be a great choice for other genres of male choirs and a cappella quartets or ensembles, including high school / college / secondary school choirs wanting to try the barbershop style. It is a fun and modern song containing a strong and poignant message about not bending to peer pressure and being your own person and remaining true to yourself.

Concert Band - Digital Download SKU: IZ.CBW221-S Composed by Gary Gazlay. Score. 16 pages. Imagine Music - Digital #CBW221-S. Published by Imagine Music - Digital (IZ.CBW221-S). 8.5 x 11 inches.This chorus is a setting of a sonnet from an 1874 collection by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882). It vividly describes the appearance of The Galaxy (The Milky Way) with a stream of images: “Torrent of light, the “river of the air whose bed of “glimmering stars appear “Like gold and silver sands in some ravine / Where mountain streams have left their channels bare! Before sharing his poetic opinion of just what The Galaxy is, Longfellow dismisses the view of the eleventh-century Spaniard, who sees it as “the pathway for Santiago Matamoros* to “descend…in celestial armor to save the Christians from the Muslim Moors. Nor does he endorse the ancient Greek view that The Galaxy amounts to a sky “scorched [by] the hoofs of Phaeton's§ horses, when he almost set the world on fire by driving his sun chariot too close to the earth.Ultimately Longfellow sees The Galaxy as “the white drift of worlds o'er chasms of sable, / The star-dust…whirled a loft…From the invisible chariot-wheels of God.The music reflects many of the poem's images, for example: women's voices alone at “gold and silver sands; an open fifth at “channels bare; a quicker tempo at the militant reference to the Spaniard; longer notes at “heav'ns were fair; fugato entrances and a faster tempo at “hot coursers trod; upward spiraling sixteenth notes at “stardust that is whirled aloft; and a climax followed by a softening uncharacteristic chord progression at “invisible chariot-wheels of God.

String Quintet Cello,Double Bass,Viola,Violin - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1198846 Composed by Adrian Varela. Chamber,Classical,Contest,Festival,Latin,Multicultural,World. 28 pages. Adrian Varela #797934. Published by Adrian Varela (A0.1198846). 'Tango 41' is a tango double-fugue & groove incorporating motifs from the last movement of Mozart's symphony no.41 in C, 'Jupiter'. Mozart's work is famous for its rotating canon at the end. This tango goes one better: it is a tango fugue, and at the recap does a double fugue piling the tango theme and Mozart's on top of each other. The body of the track is a tango groove in the 'nuevo tango' style. The coda builds to a Mahler-evoking frightening climax, unwinding, and surprising to the nasty end. The middle section is a 'Gato', an Argentine folk-music which is, like much Latin American folk music, both in 6/8 and 3/4 simultaneously.'Tango 41' was originally composed as the first movement of 'Danzas Fantasticas', a 3-movement work for large orchestra and female voice.
