This is the familiar 1911 song you already know, mostly in its original, traditional Barbershop arrangement, but with an added tag consisting of a key-change and a half-chorus to finish the tune on (literally) a high note.

SKU: A0.808675

Composed by Alexander Borodin (1833–1887). Arranged by F. Leslie Smith. Broadway,Holiday,Musical/Show,Romantic Period,Wedding. Score and parts. 19 pages. Sweetwater Brass Press #3130463. Published by Sweetwater Brass Press (A0.808675).

     The defeat of Igor Svyatoslavich, a Rus’ prince, in his 1185 campaign against invading Cuman (Polovtsy) tribes was immortalized in the Russian epic, The Lay of Igor’s Campaign. Seven centuries later, Alexander Borodin started work on an opera based on that old tale. Borodin died before finishing, but Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Alexander Glazunov completed Prince Igor, and it was performed for the first time in 1890. Sixty-three years later the Broadway production Kismet opened featuring songs adapted by Robert Wright and George Forrest from the music of Borodin. Arguably, the most popular of the show’s songs was Stranger in Paradise, which was based on the Gliding Dance of the Maidens from the Polovtsian Dances of Prince Igor.
     This beautiful brass quintet arrangement of Gliding Dance of the Maidens was adapted from the orchestra score. The key is A major, time signature is 4/4 and tempo marking is Andantino at the opening, slowing to a suggested quarter note = 63 at measure 15. Trumpets, Horn in F and Trombone all play a few grace notes. Highest notes for Trumpets are their G-sharp just above the staff; for Trombone, E above the staff. While not particularly challenging technically, the key to playing this piece is interpretation and feeling.
     This arrangement was completed in 2017, and performance time runs about 2 minutes, 38 seconds. The arranger, Les Smith, will be happy to provide substitute parts (for example, treble clef baritone for trombone) at no charge; contact him directly at lessmith61@bellsouth.net. For more arrangements by Les, enter Sweetwater Brass Press (without the quotation marks) in the search box. (Also, purchase of this piece entitles you to your choice of another of his arrangements at no charge; send a copy of your purchase receipt directly to him at lessmith61@bellsouth.net.)

Text from Little Prince

The little prince went back to look at the roses again.

You're not at all like my rose. You're nothing at all yet, he told them. No one has tamed you and you haven't tamed

anyone. You're the way my fox was. He was just a fox like a hundred thousand others. But I've made him my friend, and

now he's the only fox in all the world.

And the roses were humbled.

You're lovely, but you're empty, he went on. One couldn't die for you. Of course, an ordinary passerby would think my

rose looked just like you. But my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one I've

watered. Since she's the one I put under glass. Since she's the one I sheltered behind a screen. Since she's the one for

whom I killed the caterpillars (except the two or three for butterflies.) Since she's the one I listened to when she

complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. Since she's my rose.

― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Ben Boulter's poignant poem on the birth of Christ is set to music here for choir and organ.

Where shall the Prince of Peace be born, And where shall the Saviour rest? In a stable bare, in a crib forlorn: For the busy inn doth cruelly scorn Its great and glorious Guest. Where shall the Prince of Peace be born, And where shall the Saviour rest? To a ruined church, on Christmas morn, To a world by hatred and warfare torn, He cometh the Saviour blest. Where shall the Prince of Peace be born, And where shall the Saviour rest? In the hearts of men that are crowned with thorn, In the hearts of lonely women that mourn, In the hearts of the poor op'-prest. Bare and unworthy this heart of mine, Yet there shall the Saviour rest; For the Altar of lights on the Cradle shine, And the glory of God fills the ruined shrine, Quia Jesus natus est. (Words: Ben C. Boulter).

This is one of the most well-known of all British folksongs and refers to real historical events. It has been used in film and television programs and known to almost everyone in Britain. Skye (also known as “The Isle of Skye�) is the largest island of the Inner Hebrides. With an area of about 640 square miles, the island is about sixty miles long and lies close to the Scottish mainland.  

The boat in the song (“Speed bonny boat�) refers to a small sailing ship that in 1746 “carried the lad who was born to be king� to the Isle of Skye. The lad in question was Prince Charles Edward Stuart known affectionately as “Bonnie Prince Charlie.� The song also refers to the Battle of Culloden of April 1746, the last ever battle on British soil, fought between the British Army and the army of Bonnie Prince Charlie.  

In June 1746 and disguised as a maid-servant, Charles was secretly transported from the Hebridean island of Benbecula to the more southerly Isle of Skye. This is the event to which the song refers. 

The Skye Boat Song has its roots in a traditional Gaelic melody. The lyrics in this arrangement are the familiar ones written in the 1870s by Sir Harold Edwin Boulton. This is an easy arrangement, with all vocal parts well within range and difficult leaps avoided. There are no divisi sections. The keyboard part also avoids technical hurdles. Your singers will surely enjoy this joyful melody, with its contrasting verse and attractive counter-melodies. 

Vocal ranges are Soprano: D4 – D5; Alto: A3 (only once) – B4; Tenor: C3 (only once) – D4.

An arrangement for TTBB Barbershop Chorus (with occasional solos) of a familiar Mary Poppins tune that everyone knows -- but with a bit of a twist. Many opportunities for comedic interpretation! The refrains are mostly pretty straightforward, with the harmony being the same each time but with multiple key changes.

Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Kamada, Mikio. Baroque. 5 pages. ACORDO Sheet Music #1007248. Published by ACORDO Sheet Music (A0.1426548).

Johann Sebastian Bach composed the cantata Ich hatte viel Bekümmernis BWV 21 during the Weimar period. Craig Smith of Emmanuel Music suggested that this work was not only written to accompany the readings for the third Sunday after Trinity, but also to bid farewell to the gravely ill Prince Johann Ernst of Sachsen-Weimar, one of Bach's talented students. However, at the time, Prince Johann was seriously ill and was on his way to Swabia for recovery.
The first movement, Sinfonia, is a deeply sorrowful piece, characterized by a rich dialogue between the oboe and violin. Julian Mincham of The Cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach described it is a continuous discourse between oboe and first violin, quite possibly suggestive of the dialogue structure (Christ and the Soul) to be found in later movements, however, it sounds like a dialogue between the Prince and Bach for me.
The string ensemble part was transcribed for piano to make it easier to play. The solo parts are originally for oboe and violin, but in this arrangement, they are for Clarinets.  The bassoon (or cello) part is the same as the piano's left hand and is optional.
