Oboe, bassoon and piano - difficult - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q6474 Composed by Benjamin Schweitzer. This edition: score (also performance score). Downloadable, score (also performance score). Duration 10 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q6474. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q6474). The chiaroscuro-technique developed by painters of the Italian renaissance served to intensify contrasts and effects of optical depth. In Klar/Obskur, I tried to transfer the general idea of this technique on the rather unusual instrumentation of two double-reed woodwinds and piano. On the one hand, a clear, well articulated playing is characteristic for these instruments, on the other hand, they have an often underestimated potential of „twilight: air-sounds and fragile, shady colours have a especially attractive when being produced by double-reed instruments (which are often, and superficially regarded as being less capable of differentiated sounds than flute or clarinet). The piano, too, has a broad bandwidth of possibilities between percussive and delicate playing to complement the woodwinds which, in return, can absorb and continue the fading piano sounds. The beginning introduces the two contrasting elements that form the basic material for the piece: a clear, sharp chord, followed by fragile, dim sounds. The changes between these elements as well as their combination and amalgamation produce an enormous spectrum of colours and gesture. After this „motto-like opening follow four quite clearly separated short sections, each of them being characterised by a well-defined texture: a partly almost imperceptible air-sound passage, a short sequence of microintervallic notes, a burst of virtuosity and a recourse to the fragile sounds of the beginning. The second, longer main part consists of three sections merging subtly into each other: a short unisono-passage, marked elastic [federnd], is being dissolved into its basic elements; from these remainders, a confrontation of low, ‚arcane‘ bassoon and piano sounds and a strongly ornamented melodic line of the oboe emerges, leading to a short but powerful climax. The piece is concluded by an extended, relaxed epilogue, containing a short piano solo and a duet of oboe and bassoon and, finally, a quotation of the „elastic character of the middle section.

Choral Choir (TTBB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.865869 By Javier Colon. By Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, Jon Buckland, and Will Champion. Arranged by Charles Beale. Rock. Octavo. 9 pages. Charliebmusic #5307511. Published by charliebmusic (A0.865869). This compassionate and intimate ballad was written by Coldplay, and appeared on their break-through 2005 album 'X&Y'. It is a song about being there for someone who is at the end of their emotional rope. This arrangement starts quite and still, and, as in the original, the piano/band parts build to a surprising and emotional climax, where the choir comes back in at full belt, singing 'tears stream down your face'. A change happens, comfort is given, a deep connection is made and the song ends as it started - quiet and still.This short arrangement has a solo opportunity for tenor or baritenor, and the TTBB choral parts are simple and satisfying.

Clarinet Trio,Woodwind Ensemble Clarinet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1416517 Composed by Phil Rawle. Classical,Contemporary. 12 pages. Phillip Rawle #998196. Published by Phillip Rawle (A0.1416517). Rustic Fanfare - Clarinet Trio.The first section is an opening flourish or fanfare in choppy eight-bar phrases with no instrument being more prominent than the others. There follows a slower, more thoughtful passage with the instruments moving together in the main, before returning to the original tempo. The third part is much spikier and altogether more chaotic within a staccato, canon figure being conspicuous before calming down into a lyrical, descending passage exploring some harmonic modulations. It ends with a reprise of the third theme before coming to a loud climax. The piece lasts for about three and a half minutes.

Fl. pft. - Intermediate-Advanced - Digital Download SKU: F2.FM617 Composed by Richard Lambert. A set of pieces for flute and piano. Score and part. 37 pages. Forton Music - Digital #FM617. Published by Forton Music - Digital (F2.FM617). ISBN 9790570485161.Abigail's Jig, op. 10 no. 2a, This lively piece for flute and piano was composed in 1980 to celebrate the birth of Abby, the composer's daughter. The piece attempts to capture the atmosphere of an Irish jig as played by a piper, with a harmonically straightforward piano part, which uses a mixture of 'vamping' and melodic imitation of the flute part. The introduction is intended to be humorous and rather musically misleading, openly parodying the 'cowboy' music of Aaron Copland. Modal harmony helps to create the mood of pseudo-folk music. Cantilena, Op. 11b, Cantilena tries to capture a popular flavour, borrowing freely from pop and jazz styles: primary and secondary chords are used in arpeggiated piano figures, as mainstream ballads might do; pedal notes are a feature, especially on the tonic note; and a 'bluesy' style emerges in the third main theme. A pseudo-rock style is twice used in the climax section, which acts as a song-like chorus. Cantilena is in the key of D major overall, but even the introduction uses 'wrong note' harmony (notably flattened sevenths) to produce ambiguous tonality. The piece demonstrates a range of tone colour for the flute across a wide melodic range. Written originally for alto sax in 1987, the piece was arranged for flute in 1994. Five Short Pieces, Op. 9a, This set of movements for flute and piano was originally arranged in 1985, and revised in 2008. The five pieces are elaborate transcriptions of To One, five songs to poems by Christina Rees, which convey the countless moods associated with a relationship.

Woodwind Ensemble - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1073231 Composed by An-lun Huang. 20th Century,Classical,Contemporary,Multicultural,Traditional,World. 33 pages. DoReMi Edition #677495. Published by DoReMi Edition (A0.1073231). Chinese Rhapsody No.3 was composed e in Toronto, Canada , 1988. Huang dedicated the piece to the Canadian Saxophonist Paul Brodie who premiered it in Parry sound of Ontario in the same year. Written in Saibei Folk Style, the music is divided into 5 movements without stop. As usual, Huang didn‘t use any folk song . But the typical taste of Huang’s “Zhang Jia Kou[張家�] accent� is pretty easy to be identified. With the concert virtuosity, the 1st movement is composed as an emotional Cadenza which expresses the profound affections to the land of Saibei. Using the same Alto Sax., the lyric 2nd movement is followed by a folk dance, the 3rd movement. Chang to a Soprano Saxophone, the 4th movement is sound like a dreamy nocturne which is interrupted by the percussions of the fiery 5th movement. The whole Rhapsody ends on a climax of the Chinese Northern west “wind and percussion “style�. Brodie found more than 300 trills in this piece. Perhaps this is the key to perform the music in real Chinese style. Huang has composed 5 versions of these pieces for different ensembles: saxophone solo with piano, or strings, or winds/brasses, or Chinese traditional orchestra, or symphony orchestra. The attached mp3 was performed by the German saxophonist Jurgen Demmler with pianist Peter Grabinger in 1996. Duration: 20’.

Score and parts. 15 pages. Simeon Goode #4782713. Published by Simeon Goode (A0.917390). This arrangement is designed to make the most of a limited instrumentation and be as recognizably like the original as possible, while still capitalizing on the instruments used. The cello leads the way in this arrangement, and has most of the melodic material (although, the violin does take over at the climax of the piece), while the violin often does arpeggiated flourishes mimicking the pianistic playing of the original music.Great for weddings and small chamber situations where this light, flowing, and emotional piece of music is sure to please!

Harlequin dances is a stunning original composition showcasing a variety of dance styles. The piece starts with a mambo-like section, then moves into a more romantic ballad-type movement. This then winds up into a Viennese waltz which uses cheeky glissandi, then onto a very clever tempo shift and back to a recap of the mambo music which races along to a thrilling climax.

David McKeown #6212663. Published by David McKeown (A0.590541). Grá, (Irish for Love), is a beautiful original composition by David McKeown, arranged as a duet for one Clarinet and one Alto Clarinet.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

This arrangemen is in A minor. Besides the half step lower, very few notes have been altered.I have added an advanced cello part to assist with the viola melody and the viola part assists the cello melody in the upper register.Some notes were added to the bass part (in the proper register) to assist with the viola/cello changes.At the climax, I was able to elimiate many of the leaps by making the Violin I part divisi and then re-voicing some of the other parts.This will improve accuracy and intonation.Suggested bowings are also added.
