SATB choir, with optional piano, harp, or orchestra - Digital Download SKU: MQ.8735-E Composed by Kirke F. Mechem. Christmas. 11 pages. E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital #8735-E. Published by E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital (MQ.8735-E). Kirke Mechem composed the Seven Joys of Christmas for the Chamber Singers of the San Francisco College for Women. He set out with the goal of setting lesser-known, but none the less attractive, carols from different countries in order to paint different aspects of joy for the Christmastide. He employed the number Seven because it is considered a magical number (as it is applies to mystery in the liturgy). The final carol, God bless the master of this house, is an amusing combination of all the carols in the composition, in addition to other well-known Christmastide melodies. In certain passages, two, three, even four different carols are being performed at the same time!

Guitar,Piano - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1371176 Composed by Emiliano Brunetti. Chamber,Contemporary. Score and part. 12 pages. Emiliano Brunetti #955426. Published by Emiliano Brunetti (A0.1371176). Spandex-Hendrix is a celebration of both my origins as a performing musician and who I am now as a composer. I used to be ashamed of not being classically trained since my childhood – but now I celebrate those experiences by embracing and celebrating my culture and influences. Spandex-Hendrix serves as a portrait to my teenage years, being able to enjoy from the loudest version of Voodoo Child (Hendrix) to the magical experience of Because (Beatles). This piece is my first attempt to explore atonality through the use of the pitch class set theory. I took the Hendrix Chord (C – E – Bb – Eb), inverted its direction starting from the same root (A – D – Ab – C) and mixed the result in a new scale (C – D – Eb – E – Ab – A – Bb).

Solo Guitar - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.942113 Composed by Apostolos Paraskevas. 20th Century,Contemporary,World. Individual part. 6 pages. Silver Sickle Publications #6566951. Published by Silver Sickle Publications (A0.942113). I’ve known Stephan Connor for decades and I always enjoy seeing him working on his guitars (and on mine occasionally) and I enjoy learning of what keeps him fascinated constantly with the creation of new instruments. His latest creative thinking brought life to this composition. He brings out a special life to the forest when a different voice is been created through his guitars. When he asked me to compose Steve’s Mythical Forest he described it as …a walk to a forest where one finds a guitar and then picks it up and plays a tune... So, in this mythical forest I found the sounds at the same spots where the guitar maker transforms simple elements to a ‘magical wand’. And that is only a beginning… The work describes, in very simple tonal language, a small stroll in a forest at the end of the day and at the beginning of the night where sounds melting together in loving feelings and passionate desires for life.   Apostolos Paraskevas. 2021

Published by Diego Spitaleri (A0.744991). I composed The Dream of Medea for a play inspired by one of the most fascinating and controversial characters in Greek mythology. Medea is a woman with magical powers, always struggling between reason and passion, very strong and cruel but, at the same time, weak and passionate. In this song I like to think of Medea as she surrenders to a sweet dream.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.734761 Composed by Joseph Hasper. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score. 20 pages. Joseph Hasper #2836995. Published by Joseph Hasper (A0.734761). A challenging post-modern solo for advanced pianist. Dream Trajectories was composed for Dr. Joseph Henry, and was premiered by Dr. Henry in at the University of Minnesota.Dream Trajectories was inspired by dreams and how we experience them. In dreams, the laws of nature and physics do not always apply--at least not in the way they normally do. Cause and effect can be reversed, or done away with. The same events can be played out repeatedly with different results. The familiar becomes unfamiliar, and we may have uncanny insights and magical abilities.Time takes on a different quality in dreams, too. Scenes from a long time ago can be juxtaposed with recent events. The passage of years can occur in a blink. Sometimes there is no perception of time at all, and we simply experience events without any reference to time.And sometimes dreams are scary.

Piano Solo - Digital Download SKU: A0.1003947 Composed by Faith Angelina. Contemporary,Praise & Worship,Sacred,Spiritual. Score. 3 pages. Faith Angelina Music #3141419. Published by Faith Angelina Music (A0.1003947). From twelve year old composer Faith Angelina off her debut album Reaching 12 (available at FaithAngelina.com).  This song was a turning point for me as I looked for help from my destructive feelings and found the love and support that was always within my reach.  - Faith Angelina It was August 8th, 2016, when Faith’s mother found the suicide note left on her minivan.  It was a heart stopping moment.  The type that slows down time and changes all priorities and perspectives.  On the front side of the paper it said, PLEASE READ in big letters.  On the back was the following… Dear Mom, I am writing this to inform you about something I didn’t have the strength to tell you in person.  I have depression.  I know you think that we all go through a stage where we are sad it’s true, but this is not the case.  I thought that I just had a sad time too until I realized I had been thinking about killing myself many times.  I know that this is hard to hear but I felt it was important to tell you something I had been holding back for 5 years.  I hope you can think of me the same after this note, and know that me thinking about killing myself is NOT your fault. Love,  Faith   After an immediate trip to the doctor, it was discovered that Faith didn’t have clinical depression but that she suffered from a hormonal imbalance in her body.  She had been waking up in the middle of the night over half of her young life and wandering around while the rest of the family slept.  With a small prescription, and lots of love, Faith headed off to start middle school and a magical year that would follow. Shortly after this experience, Faith composed a new song called Finding Hope and finished up on three others she had been working on.

Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.1366668). Debussy: Piano Preludes Bk.2 No.5 Bruyères (Heather) - symphonic wind dectetArranged double wind quintet/bassDebussy's Préludes are 24 pieces for solo piano, divided into two books of 12 preludes each. Unlike some notable collections of preludes from prior times, such as Chopin's Op. 28 preludes, or the preludes from Johann Sebastian Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier, Debussy's do not follow a strict pattern of tonal centres.This is from the 2nd Book.I have arranged all of these preludes from both books:Book 1Danseuses de DelphesVoilesLes sons et le parfums…..Des pas sur le neige La fille aux cheveux de linLa Cathédral engloutieMinstrelsBk.2BruyèresGeneral LevineHommage à S.Pickwick EsqCanopeAs if by magic, we are transported to heather covered V it shows that this shepherd is a distant cousin of ‘la fille heathland with a piece much reminiscent of la Fille aux cheveux de lin’. The same calm, the same purityaux Cheveux de Lin from book one. Nature and innocence demand a spontaneous and laidback approach to those delicate and poetic riffs to match the colour and aroma of fragrant purple shrubs. Birds may be heard calling, accompanied by the distant refrain of a shepherd’s flute in this harmonious and homogeneous prelude — an admirable contrast to numbers IV and VI.In direct connection with this prelude, Marguerite Long mentions a Debussy souvenir pairing the scent of sea mist and coastal pines, and if she is correct this would take us to Arcachon in south west France. It is possible that the young composer first went there in 1880 with the baroness Nadejda Von Meck and later in 1904 when he stayed with the uncle of Emma Bardac (ne�e Moyse), his future bride.The pastoral and familiar poetry of a woodland scene where the earth’s pervasive scent mingles with the subdued display of patches in purple.— CortotA peaceful melody on a shepherd's pipe, resonating on the silent moorland. With its Celtic pentatonic structureand the same diatonic transparency, time-signature and tempo provide a clear link.— Harry Halbreich

Juan Maria Solare #906905. Published by Juan Maria Solare (A0.1318234). Aserrando a una mujer (Sawing a Woman in Half)This might well be the first coloratura tango in history. And while it is innovative, it is deeply rooted in the tango tradition, both musically and thematically: one of the recurring themes of primitive tango was precisely the circus. The act of sawing a woman is the circus magic trick par excellence. This song was written and composed in mid-August 2023 and is dedicated to Coco Joura, who suggested the subjet.

Y si bien es innovador, está muy arraigado en la tradición tanguera, por la música y por la temática del texto: uno de los temas recurrentes del tango primitivo era precisamente el circo. El número de aserrar a una mujer es el truco circense de magia por antonomasia.Esta canción fue escrita y compuesta a mediados de agosto de 2023 y está dedicada a Coco Joura, quien sugirió la temática.
