Handbell - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.953732 Composed by Oscar Ahnfelt and Charles H. Gabriel, Walter Stillman Martin, and William Henry Monk. Arranged by G. R. Adkison. Christian,Sacred. Score. 6 pages. Gary Ray Adkison #15171. Published by Gary Ray Adkison (A0.953732). God: My Helper, Comforter, Companion, Provider, Protector is a 71 measure arrangement for 4-5 octave handbell choir, and OPTIONAL 3 octaves of handchimes. It is a medley of Christian hymns that deal with some of the attributes of God, as they relate to His followers. Specifically, it includes Abide with Me, God Will Take Care of You, Day by Day and Just When I Need Him Most. It is probably a level 3+ arrangement. The God Will Take Care of You section starts with a duet in the handchimes, with the melody line switching from treble clef to bass clef, in the verse. Of course, handbells can be used instead of handchimes, if desired. In the chorus, martellato is used in the bass clef, while there is a descant going on in the high treble clef, with the melody sandwiched in between. In the last section (Just When I Need Him Most) interesting chords, bass runs and melody line doubling, with chords filled in between the doubled melody notes, build to an ending culminating in a repeat of the last musical phrase, at a slower, more majestic tempo. The first 3 selections are more laid-back; the last is presented in a more energetic fashion.

The title was apparently inspired by Orbison's wife, Claudette, interrupting a conversation to announce she was going out. When Orbison asked if she had enough cash, his co-writer Bill Dees interjected, A pretty woman never needs any money. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked it number 224 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In 2008, The Library of Congress selected the song for preservation in the National Recording Registry.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.887978 Composed by Graham Yates. Concert,Contemporary,Standards. Score. 12 pages. Graham Yates #6027709. Published by Graham Yates (A0.887978). These short piano solos were commissioned as part of the second annual Christmas in July showcase in 2020. Each composition encodes the donor’s first name (praenomen) as a musical motif, which is stated before the start of each piece. It also serves as a sketch that is loosely based on some aspect about the subject: 1. The classical-style Katies kleine Sonatine is a pun on Katie Cline and Eine kleine Nachtmusik; 2. Garrett is a proudly unusual character and his piece is vaguely atonal at times; 3. Jennie is a generous and deep soul, in a way that reminded me of Beethoven’s Andante cantabile from the Pathétique sonata; 4. Barbara’s second commission was an occasion for me to explore a Chopinesque etude style and unlikely harmonies; 5. Jamie is boisterous, fiercely devoted, strong-minded, and plays ukulele. The pieces can, of course, be enjoyed on their own merit.

Published by Liz Garnett (A0.856249). Billy Joel's classic declaration of musical love that transcends fashion seems particularly well suited to barbershop ensembles. The lyrics sparkle through an infectious groove, making this a feel-good song that will lift the spirits of any audience.The arrangement follows the original in starting out with a sparse texture that builds up into fuller harmonies through the course of the song. It also takes the implicit dialogue within the lyrics, that Joel articulates with a change of vocal colour, and makes it more explicit by giving question and answer to different voice parts.Vocal ranges:Tenor: E flat 3 - A4Lead: E flat 3 - G4Bari: E flat 3 - F4Bass: G flat 2 - B flat 3www.HelpingYouHarmonise.com

Published by Andrew Payne (A0.1224676). A musical setting of William Blake's 'Tyger' for soloist and mixed voices, with piano accompaniment.I have divided the 3 part harmony into higher, mid, and lower voices.  This could be a combination of male/female/boys/girsl depending on the group you are with.I chose Rap style for the verses, as it is a popular genre with my primary school children, but the song could work equally with an adult ensemble.  You could choose to read the verses more traditionally of course then sing the choruses. One person could read all of the verses, or this could be split between several soloists.The backing track I have created is also available as a separate download on the site, or you could play the piano part provided as a backing.

The full title is CABBAGE and BEEF or Composing on St. Patrick's Day in the Time of the Coronavirus.  This was a fun exercise in writing a melody made up entirely of letters from the musical alphabet starting, of course, with CABBAGE and BEEF.  It was a fun thing to do as I was sheltering in place during the pandemic.  The challenge was composing a melody that made sense and harmonizing it nicely.  The time signature is 5/4 because these are uncommon times.  There are 13 words that make up the melody.  Can you find all of them?
