Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.885599 Composed by Michael E. Ekbladh. 20th Century,Contemporary. Octavo. 16 pages. Michael E. Ekbladh #43639. Published by Michael E. Ekbladh (A0.885599). The sorrow and lament experienced by the prophet Jeremias as he witnessed the exile of the Jewish nation into Babylonian captivity is palpable in this text from Lamentations 1:12. These words are often used in Christian tradition on Holy Saturday. It’s mournfulness stands in sharp contrast to the exultation of the resurrection; surexit. The image evoked in this setting is that of a crowd, mourning at the foot of the cross on which Jesus had just died. The listener: a person simply passing through this terrible scene, surrounded by cries of sorrow. A split choir configuration will provide the best aural effect with soprano/alto on one side and tenor/bass opposite.

Harp,Instrumental Duet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.543084 Composed by Alexander Borodin. Arranged by Cindy Blevins. Opera. 9 pages. Cindy Blevins #3431265. Published by Cindy Blevins (A0.543084). This download includes the score, Harp I and Harp II. My harp duets are consistent in their configuration. Harp I part is the most difficult, and can be played on lever or pedal harp. Harp II part is generally easier, and lap harp friendly. So this duet is suitable for student/teacher duet practice, and for almost any combination of two harp players. Or even an ensemble with several playing each part.

Mark O'Connor Musik International #6201691. Published by Mark O'Connor Musik International (A0.861781). String Quartet No. 1 (a.k.a. Quartet) MO129EAdapted for string quartet (two violins, viola and cello) by Mark O’ConnorCello Part (score and parts available)Music by Mark O’Connor17 pages - 31:00 minutes in lengthMovement I (6:40)Movement II (8:21)Movement III (7:51)Movement IV (7:17) Quartet adapted for two violins, viola and cello in four movements, was commissioned by the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival in 1990 and was premiered in August of that year. This piece represents Mark O’Connor’s first work in a classical genre. The original instrumentation called for an unorthodox combination, omitting the usual second violin part and adding bass, to highlight the contrast between his fiddling style and the classical style of the other players. Upon his adapting of the score, O’Connor discovered that in many situations, execution was much more successful with the standard string quartet configuration. The Quartet was released on the Warner Bros. recording, The Fiddle Concerto. O’Connor, Daniel Phillips, Carter Brey and Edgar Meyer were the original cast who helped usher in the new O’Connor music style which helped pave the way for many more pieces to come. In this four-movement work, O’Connor offers a multitude of insights into ways in which traditional fiddling and the classical string writing of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries resemble each other. The music is suited for advanced and intermediate levels. Original music printed from the composer’s manuscripts.Music editing, copying and engraving by Mark O’Connorusing Finale on Apple Macintosh 1989 Composed By Mark O’ConnorString Quartet No. 1 (Quartet) can be heard on The Fiddle Concerto Warner Bros.
