Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quintet Bassoon,Clarinet,English Horn,Flute - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1419166 Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Daniel Kaplan. Baroque,Chamber,Classical. 33 pages. Daniel Kaplan #1000598. Published by Daniel Kaplan (A0.1419166). Arrangement by Daniel Kaplan for woodwind quintet of Bach's Prelude and Fugue No. 24 in B minor from Book 1 of The Well Tempered Clavier. The prelude is in an unusual (for a Bach prelude) binary form. The fugue is remarkably chromatic and complex, based on a subject employing all 12 notes of the chromatic scale (prefiguring Schoenberg's 12-tone system, to come two centuries later!). Kaplan is engaged in a project to make classics from other genres available to woodwind players and has arranged several other great works for this ensemble, including many of his favorites from The Well Tempered Clavier (also available on this website). The woodwind quintet is especially well suited for contrapuntal music since the distinctive tone colors of the wind instruments bring out the contrapuntal lines and make them clearer to the listener.

Baroque,Chamber,Classical. 25 pages. Daniel Kaplan #1000535. Published by Daniel Kaplan (A0.1419105). Arrangement by Daniel Kaplan for woodwind quintet of Bach's Prelude and Fugue No. 23 from Book 1 of The Well Tempered Clavier. Being in B Major, this is the quintessential Prelude and Fugue that couldn't be played in tune in standard baroque keyboard temperament, thus making the case for Bach's preferred temperament system (the details of which remain a mystery!). Kaplan is engaged in a project to make classics from other genres available to woodwind players and has arranged several other great works for this ensemble, including many of his favorites from The Well Tempered Clavier (also available on this website).

Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quintet Bassoon,Clarinet,English Horn,Flute,Oboe - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1410742 Composed by Antonin Dvorak. Arranged by Daniel Kaplan. 19th Century,Chamber,Classical. 112 pages. Daniel Kaplan #993135. Published by Daniel Kaplan (A0.1410742). Dvorak's charming and wonderful Bagatelles are rarely performed, because he wrote them for two violins, cello, and harmonium, and who has a harmonium anymore? (They are sometimes performed with substitution of a piano for the harmonium, but the harmonium version is far superior, as the piano lacks the sustaining quality of the harmonium.) But they are a natural for woodwinds! Kaplan is engaged in a project to make classics from other genres available to woodwind players and has also arranged several other great works for this ensemble. Many of them are now for sale on this webste, and more will be uploaded soon.Note that due to Dvorak's key signatures and the varying tessituras of the parts, the movements sometimes call for oboe and sometimes for English horn, and the clarinet parts alternate between clarinet in B-flat and in A.

The translation and adaption into English has been made by Peter Bowman. three Volumes for the descant recorder which advance in small steps and include many playful elements suitable for both group and individual lessons. • Discover the adventure of learning the recorder • Make real progress through games: breathing • A mixture of lively new and traditional tunes • Three supplementery tune books each with a sheet of stickers • Teacher's commentary • Join Dotty-do-a-lot and her friends in the exciting orld of music Fun and Games with the Recorder is a comprehensive recorder tutor covering all stages from the first notes of the beginner up to the point of preofessional instruction for budding performers. Although the recorder is often the instrument with wich children will make their first musical discoveries, it is also an instrument of the highest artistic merit. This series of books tries to link these two extremes, providing a carefully planned pathway between first, playful contact with the instrument and professional recorder playing. The three Tutor Books are suitable for use both with small groups and for individual tuition. Progress is methodical and is made in small steps placing great value on consistent work with breathing, sound production and the development of rhythmic security. In the Tutor books we speak directly to the child and provide carefully planned, precisely formulated exercises. We recognise that some children learning the recorder will not yet be able to read, but hope that this will provide an opportunity for a parent or teacher to become involved in the learning process. Each step in this process should be fun and accessable to both the parent/teacher and the child. Tutor Book 1 is intended for children from about six years of age. Previous musical experience is not essential but undoubtedly would prove useful. It concentrates on the notes B, A, g, E1, C2 and D2, leaving sufficient time and space for the development of articulation, rhythmic security and breathing techniques. Tutor Book 2 adds the notes C1, D2, F2, E2, F2 and B flat, whilst Tutor Book 3 completes the range up to C3 - at which point the treble recorder can be introduced. Tutor Books 1, 2 and 3 are complemented by Tune Books 1, 2 and 3. The tune Books are matched to the stages of learning process of the Tutor Books and provide additional practice pieces and exercises, sometimes with accompainment. In the Teacher's Commentary we explain the teaching methodology behind the tutor and provide stimulation for ideas for lessons. It will be helpful if the child has a manuscript book of her or his own, or some manuscript book. Dotty's Note Book (ED 12641) is specially designed for the purpose, with large staves suitable for children as well as plain pages for words and pictures. We wish users of this tutor every success and happiness with their recorder playing.

Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.939360 Composed by Adam Grim. Concert. Score. 5 pages. Adam B. Grim #3396333. Published by Adam B. Grim (A0.939360). This piano solo was written as if you were flying over a small farming village in a crop-duster plane. It was written after my small home town of Ada, Ohio. Imagine flying over the white clouds, looking into the light blue sky over the green and brown farming landscapes. The ostinato bass line shows the light push of the engine, and flowing ups and downs in the plane. The melody depicts the take-off, sights, and landing of the plane. .

Duration 63. George Kaplan #7Iri8FTj5liweYDJZtdWVT. Published by George Kaplan (A0.1081005). Key: B major.Horace Silver had not seen the insides of a recording studio for 750 days before laying down Silver 'n Brass. His previous record, In Pursuit of the 27th Man, was unusual in its instrumentation (vibes) and for including a number of non-Silver tunes. (But the cover of Liberated Brother, from that record, did go on to become the backbone of his late 70s live shows.) So, as a prolific composer, Horace had a large backlog of tunes at his disposal as he entered the studio in January, 1975 and the 6 cuts on Silver 'n Brass are among his best. Horace broke the sessions into two: a straight-ahead post-bop session with Ron Carter (whose chubby bass spews artifacts all over the place, in his best late-70s style) and Al Foster on drums and another, more commercial session featuring Bob Cranshaw and Bernard Purdie. Wade Marcus later added horn overdubs employing an absolute who's-who of LA session players. (Word quickly got out among the cognoscenti, and Silver 'n Brass became hugely popular among fellow musicians, much to Horace's delight.) Highlights of the disc include: the composer's propulsive piano solo on Dameron's Dance, young Bob Berg's paint-peeling tenor solos (especially riveting on Kissin' Cousins) and the driving flat 9th chords of Adjustment. The tune Barbara, a gorgeous waltz dedicated to Horace's then-wife, has become a latter-day standard of sorts (Amazon's MP3 store lists a whole bunch of covers). Sophisticated Hippie, a tribute to Duke Ellington, features quite a rhythm-section workout in its closing vamp: this session would be the only time that Horace and Bernard's paths would intersect. There are no vocals this time out, just fully arresting post-bop of a high order.

Instrumental Duet B-Flat Clarinet,Flute,Instrumental Duet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.769552 By A. Copland, Judy Collins. By Shaker Hymn Hymn. Arranged by Dennis Ruello. Easter,Praise & Worship,Traditional. Score and parts. 4 pages. Chicory Music #377192. Published by Chicory Music (A0.769552). 'Simple Gifts' was a dancing song. The Shakers called it a quick dance. There are words in the song about bowing and bending and turning, and the Shakers actually did that as they sang those words. The song was both an instruction for dancing as well as an instruction for life. The song was limited to the Shakers until Copland popularized the melody in his 1944 ballet score, Appalachian Spring. In the 1960s, Carter's hymn carried the tune into churches. It wasn't until 1970 that folk singer Judy Collins resurrected the original words of Simple Gifts and performed it nationwide.
