Violin Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.970720 Composed by Mike Strand. Concert,Jazz. 3 pages. Michael M. Strand #4830627. Published by Michael M. Strand (A0.970720). By Mike Strand, ASCAP This is a lead sheet for a jazz combo or ensemble, a good basis for a variety of arrangements, improvisations, or contrafacts. The audio sample is my melody from Finale PrintMusic, combined with an iReal Pro swing accompaniment. I’ve designated the melody for solo violin, an instrument that I would like to see and hear more often in jazz ensembles.  You will hear a violin carry the melody in the audio sample. Playing the solo on violin solves a possible difficulty in performance. Problem:  This piece may be too challenging for many wind instrument players (brass, woodwind). Solution:  This piece is well suited to a non-wind instrument player!  Violin springs to mind. Violin is especially appropriate here:  This tune has lots of notes; similar to a solo violin partita prelude or up-tempo dance movement by J. S. Bach.  A wind instrument player told me that finding spots for taking a breath was a challenge. This is not to discourage wind players from experimenting with the piece, adjusting it in places if necessary.  A wind player may include more breathing spots for relief in his or her improvisation! Note for composers:  I adapted this piece from the 5th (swing) movement of my Partita II, for solo violin, also for sale on this site.

Violin and orchestra - difficult - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q20006 Composed by Joerg Widmann. This edition: piano reduction with solo part. Downloadable, piano reduction with solo part. Duration 27 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q20006. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q20006). Jörg Widmann treats the violon at first as a vocal instrument, just in the tradition of the great violin concertos of the 19th century through to Alban Berg. But from the cantabile lines, often written 'sul tasto' and 'flautando', emerges again and again a virtuosity which is just as important to the genre and which, based on contemporary playing techniques, causes enticing problems for every player. As the orchestra is reduced to a demanding, yet rather accompanying function during the almost 30 minutes' duration, the piano reduction, already tried in Hamburg by the world premiere performer Christian Tetzlaff with Jörg Widmann on the piano, offers more than ever an opportunity for concert performances off the major stages.2 (2. auch Picc.) · 2 (2. auch Engl.

SATB choir (choir divisi) unaccompanied - Moderately Easy - Digital Download SKU: MQ.1.3613-E Composed by Kyle Pederson. Graduation. Instrument part. 10 pages. Galaxy Music Corporation - Digital #1.3613-E. Published by Galaxy Music Corporation - Digital (MQ.1.3613-E). UPC: 600313136139. English.Selected as a �nalist in the 2019 Ithaca College Choral Festival and premiered there as part of the festival. This piece received its Midwest premiere at the ACDA North/North Central regional conference in 2020, performed by Roosevelt High School, directed by Robyn Starks Holcomb. The text of the piece is addressed to anyone facing struggles—and it presents an honest af�rmation that those struggles are real. Rather than deny the existence of problems or pain, the listener is encouraged to “lean into� the hardship, to name it—and to thereby reduce its power. Textually and musically, the listener is presented with the metaphor of a tree—being whipped by the wind—but built to bend in that wind and ultimately withstand the pressure-�lled gales. The power of community is also af�rmed—as the listener is encouraged to walk alongside—to bend along with—their neighbor.

Flexible Wind Ens - Intermediate - Digital Download SKU: F2.FM459 Composed by Juan Maria Solare. Flexible Wind Quartet. Score and parts. 12 pages. Forton Music - Digital #FM459. Published by Forton Music - Digital (F2.FM459). ISBN 9790570483587.For Flexible Wind Ensemble. Flute1/Clarinet 1, Oboe 2/Clarinet 2, Instrument in F/Clarinet 3, Bassoon or Bass Clarinet 4. 'Mercy' is an obsessively expressive Adagio (so to say, a Samuel Barber's equivalent for woodwinds) with a homophonic texture, like a four part chorale. Rhythmically, this piece offers no problems. While the first part requires more experienced players, parts 2, 3 and 4 are relatively easy to play. Most groups would be able to master this piece after only a couple of rehearsals. Some would say that mercy is a virtue, others (following Nietzsche) that it is a weakness. Do not seek in this piece a one-to-one musical transcription of merciful feelings, but rather concentrate on the smoothness and tender sound quality associated with it. Rather than 'pity', mercy is about empathy, togetherness and support - this attitude can also show while performing music.
