Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quartet Flute - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.834008 Composed by Claude Debussy. Arranged by BRIAN W. COPPING. Ragtime,Romantic Period,Standards. 14 pages. EMK Music #28853. Published by EMK Music (A0.834008). Before he died in 1918, Debussy had been planning to visit the USA. However, it is probable that he became familiar with the syncopated rhythms of ‘Ragtime’ and of the ‘Cakewalk’, used in Le Petit Negre, through the music of Scott Joplin. Le Petit Negre is taken from Debussy’s ‘Children’s Corner’ , a collection of pieces for Piano that he dedicated to his daughter, Claude-Emma, after her death at the age of fourteen. Debussy used language that was in common usage at the time, but some of his titles, including this one, now sound unavoidably racist. In addition to syncopation, Debussy also uses other techniques in this piece that have been adopted by jazz musicians, for example, pentatonic scales and chromaticism.

The Candy Cakewalk is suitable for players at an intermediate level and above, with the accessible key and range balanced by the fast tempo, some syncopated rhythms and accidentals. The playing-time is around one and a half minutes, but can be lengthened by adding repeats at the performer’s discretion.

Harpsichord - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.862503 Composed by Michael Bomier. Contemporary,Instructional,Standards. Score. 2 pages. Michael Butkus-Bomier #2032023. Published by Michael Butkus-Bomier (A0.862503). Thirds, seven-note scalar runs, and syncopation characterize this final entry in the series of Modal Inventions. The Locrian mode was not a true church mode. It was given that name by jazz musicians, who wanted a modal designation for each of the seven modes for every major scale. This piece uses cut-time, and a half-note figure as its subject. The countersubject is a scale. Each exposition and its reverse end with a syncopated series of thirds, like the E Major Invention of Bach. These elements mix and match themselves through the piece, which ends on a B7 chord without a 3rd or 5th degree, giving the finale its ambiguous, Locrian sound. All nine inventions make a nice program for the opening of a three-element recital. They also make an excellent introduction into the world of modern music, since the two-part invention format is familiar, and the scalar aspect is also a musical staple throughout the eras, even though the modal derivatives rather than the parent major scales are used.

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.
