Piano Solo - Digital Download SKU: A0.991784 Composed by R A Chappell // Musicarta Publications. Contemporary,New Age. Score. 3 pages. Musicarta #3111325. Published by Musicarta (A0.991784). A charming triad chord study with a repeating broken chord texture and syncopated left hand. The left hand leaps an octave (optionally), and the bass line generally offers lots of opportunity for additional and varied syncopation and melodic 'in-between note' variation.Note: In order to avoid excessive use of ledger lines - much of the treble is around or even below middle C - parts of the treble are in the 'tenor clef' (a treble clef with a small figure 8 beneath it). This music is to be played an octave lower then shown.

This arrangement is 39 bars long (intro, verse, chorus), includes notes of the treble clef including leger lines, two- and three-note chords, syncopation, fingering suggestions and accidentals. It has been simplified for you to enjoy without losing the character of the original.

Brass Ensemble - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.808676 Composed by Scott Joplin (1868–1917). Arranged by F. Leslie Smith. 20th Century,Film/TV,Folk,Holiday,Love,Ragtime. Score and parts. 20 pages. Sweetwater Brass Press #3213035. Published by Sweetwater Brass Press (A0.808676).     Marvin Hamlisch’s score for the 1973 movie The Sting revived interest in ragtime music. Ragtime, of course, is music, often in march-time, that features syncopation, a ragged beat. It originated in African-American districts of large cities and first flourished during the period, 1895-1918. One of the most successful ragtime composers was Scott Joplin, known as the King of Ragtime. Hamlisch used several Joplin compositions as background music for the George Roy Hill-directed film, and one of those was this beautiful and contemplative 1909 composition, Solace: A Mexican Serenade.     In All Music Guide to Classical Music: The Definitive Guide to Classical Music (Woodstra et al., ed., CMP Books: 2005), Blair Johnston called Solace a musical hybrid neither authentically Mexican nor authentic ragtime. It is, instead, a habanera, but also a very lovely piece of Americana.    This brass quintet arrangement of Solace was adapted from the Joplin piano score. Like the score, this arrangement is in 2/4 time and contains a lot of 16th notes. Joplin’s tempo instruction, however, is Very slow march time, and the metronome marking suggests 96 eighth notes a minute, so in reality the actual tempo is an andante 4/8. Trumpet 1 has some B-above-the-staff notes in the last section, Trumpet 2 has a few interesting rhythmic figures in section B; Trombone has 3 or 4 F-above-the-staff notes, and Tuba plays a couple of top-of-the-staff A’s in section D and at the very end. Plus, of course, the piece is syncopated.    Completed in 2017, this arrangement runs about 6 minutes, 10 seconds.

Easy Piano - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.762346 Composed by Lori Cummings. Children,Easter,Holiday,Instructional,Jazz. Score. 2 pages. Lori Cummings #4569735. Published by Lori Cummings (A0.762346). This fun, bouncy piece features the left hand throughout, using a syncopated rhythm in the A section with some fun melodic work in the B section.  The right hand uses simple two-note chords, so the student is encouraged to practice bringing out the melody in the left hand while keeping the right hand soft.  The A section will actually sound like two bunnies hopping between the two hands, where in the B section, the left hand bunny hops alone.  While this song is a great spring time or Easter song, it is perfect for teaching syncopation or for simply working on left hand development.   Large font is used for easy reading.   .
