Small Ensemble Bassoon,Clarinet,Flute,Horn,Oboe - Digital Download SKU: A0.942428 Composed by Claude Debussy (1862-1918). Arranged by Brock Lupton (1948-). 20th Century,Jazz,Ragtime. Score and parts. 17 pages. Brock Lupton #6858223. Published by Brock Lupton (A0.942428). A delightfully jazzy short work with ragtime influences (it was composed in 1909) and a very problematic title. The linked piano performance seems to me to capture the light-hearted effect, though it is considerably faster than other performances. The brass ensemble link is included simply to illustrate the notion of arranging this work. According to Wikipedia, a woodwind arrangement has been made and used to accompany a commercial for a well-known brand of dog food (!).

Piano - easy - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q1748 Small original works from the 1800s. This edition: Sheet music. Downloadable. Schott Music - Digital #Q1748. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q1748). Die Auswahl des Übungsmaterials für Anfänger im Klavierspielen bereitet jedem gewissenhaften Lehrer erfahrungsgemäß große Schwierigkeiten. Fast alle Klavierschulen enthalten Anfängerstücke, die in musikalischer Hinsicht wertlos sind, oder Werke der Klassiker in umgearbeiteter und verstümmelter Gestalt. Die Erklärung hierfür ist hauptsächlich darin zu suchen, dass leicht spielbare und zugleich musikalisch bedeutende Stücke - Musterbeispiele dafür sind die kleinen Präludien und Tänze von Joh. Seb. Bach - in der Tat sehr selten sind. Eine Anzahl bisher unveröffentlichter Stücke dieser Art bringt diese Sammlung, die den besonderen Bedürfnissen des Anfängerunterrichts angepasst ist. Sie wurde unter folgenden Gesichtspunkten zusammengestellt: 1. Dem kleinen Arbeitspensum der Anfänger entsprechend wurden nur ganz kurze Stücke aufgenommen. 2. Die Auswahl beschränkte sich auf Stücke, die zum größten Teil gar keine oder nur wenige Verzierungen enthalten. Die Partie der linken Hand ist durchweg verzierungsfrei. 3. Nur drei allgemein bekannte Verzierungen: Triller, Pralltriller und Doppelschlag kommen in den Stücken vor. 4. Lombardischer Rhythmus, der, ebenso wie die komplizierte Ornamentik, die Ausführung alter Musik erschwert, ist in keinem der Stücke enthalten. 5. Fast alle Stücke haben instruktive Bedeutung: in unaufdringlicher Form setzen sie sich mit verschiedenartigen technischen Problemen auseinander (Tonleitern, Arpeggien, Wechsel von Legato und Staccato, leichte Doppelgriffe usw.). Alle Stücke dieser Sammlung sind selbstständige kleine Kunstwerke, die weder gekürzt, noch größeren Werken (Sonaten, Suiten) entnommen sind. Sie stammen durchweg aus der 2. Hälfte des des 18. Jahrhunderts, einer Zeit, die in der deutschen Klaviermusik eine gefällige, flüssige und doch strenge Schreibweise zur Entwicklung brachte. Trotz ihrer homophonen Haltung sind sie auf der Grundlage einer korrekten Zweistimmigkeit mit selbstständiger Führung der Bässe aufgebaut. Akkordbrechungen in der linken Hand oder Trommelbässe wird man in ihnen nirgends finden.

Carillon,Instrumental Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1301689 By Duke Ellington and his Orchestra. By Duke Ellington, Irving Mills, and Juan Tizol. Arranged by Michael Gancz. 20th Century,Broadway,Film/TV,Jazz,Latin,Musical/Show. Individual part. 8 pages. Michael Gancz #891301. Published by Michael Gancz (A0.1301689). Caravan is one of Duke Ellington's (1899-1974) most famous compositions—although he didn't actually write it. That credit goes to Puerto Rican trombonist Juan Tizol (1900-1984), a member of the Ellington's big band from 1929 to 1944. Tizol composed the theme in 1936 and promptly sold the rights to lyricist Irving Mills for only $25. The song became an instant hit—jazz critic Ted Gioia expllains that it fit perfectly with the musical exoticism that patrons were demanding at [Ellington's] regular gig at the Cotton Club in Harlem. Indeed, much jazz from this era, especially Ellington's, was steeped in Orientalist aesthetics. Although we hear it now as a self-contained musical phenomenon, we must acknowledge this music's problematics even as we continue to celebrate its progressive and revolutionary qualities. Part of my interest in this piece is in its capacity as a vessel in which I can explore my own multiform identity as an expatriate of the Middle East, a carillonist, and a lover of jazz. This arrangement reflects what might happen when these three perspectives collide. Ellington recorded Caravan more than 100 times, and the names of its additional interpreters reads as a history of jazz itself: Thelonious Monk, Art Blakey, Nat King Cole, Dizzy Gillespie, Wynton Marsalis and dozens more all brought their own spin to the tune. What makes it particularly special, though, is its appeal to listeners outside the jazz fandom. The 2014 film Whiplash introduced mass audiences to the song's unique atmosphere and to the genius of the Duke and his sidemen, thanks to an outstanding big band arrangement by John Wasson. My setting of the tune for the carillon recalls both Duke and Tizol's original version and this more recently popular edition.In this arrangement, I hope to highlight the carillon's capacity as a percussion instrument, and to use this as a bridge into the world of jazz. A successful interpretation will focus on groove, stratification of voices, and balance. Try to keep the pedals light!Michael Gancz2023Sources:Gioia, Ted (2012).

High Voice,Vocal Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1329064 Composed by Richard Strauss. Arranged by Nicole Elyse DiPaolo. 19th Century,Classical,Romantic Period. 3 pages. Nicole Elyse DiPaolo #917034. Published by Nicole Elyse DiPaolo (A0.1329064). The first of its kind, and the first entry in the Accessible Accompaniments library’s collection of small-hand-optimized song literature publications, this is Richard Strauss’s beloved “Zueignung,� from Acht Gedichte, op. 10 (1885), optimized (but not simplified) for the needs of collaborative pianists with small hands. “Small� is generally understood to be just an octave in span, with limited capacity to grab chord tones within a blocked octave aside from the occasional inner fifth.This edition was inspired by Boosey’s excellent small-hand edition of Frank Bridge’s “Love Went A-Riding� (erroneously labeled “simplified� on the front matter), which thins the large chords that would be problematic or impossible for a barely-an-8ve-reach collaborative pianist to play without adding musically inappropriate rolls or breaks, but also preserves the musical content and grammatically accurate voice-leading. Given that Strauss’s op. 10 collection is much more widespread on today’s concert programs than the Bridge, and given that average conservatory pianist heights and hand sizes have dropped significantly in the 20th and 21st centuries, the need for a similar adaptation in at least some of the op. 10 songs is obvious. Additionally, Strauss’s songs are often so orchestral in spirit—much more so than the Bridge—that the instinct to treat them as orchestral reductions to be adapted by each individual player should be as self-evident and considered as musically appropriate as it would be for any of Strauss’s beloved horn concerti. Performers should feel free to insert their own adaptations, additions, and omissions to this score as needed.The primary source material for this edition is Henle’s edition of the Acht Gedichte. However, any proprietary material that is not public domain (like their fingerings, front matter, and critical notes) is left out of this edition, leaving only what is public domain and edited by Ms. DiPaolo. Unreasonably large chords and arpeggio figures that would require being reachable by a larger hand have been condensed into figures more appropriate for the just-an-octave hand without sacrificing technique and excitement. This edition makes minor improvements to the engraving, like removing syllabic beaming in the voice and adding octave lines when appropriate. This edition also uses Accessible Accompaniments’ distinctive house style, marked by its visual beauty and ease of reading.While this song will be published in low, middle, and high keys for your convenience, please feel free to request another transposition if you are purchasing from a site that does not offer automatic transposition or you don’t see the key that you need. As the name says, Accessible Accompaniments is committed to accessibility—and that goes for singers, too!

This hymn has been problematic for keyboardists because the pauses between lines of text are difficult to realize initially and because every congregation seems  to do them differently.  Thus, the recording presented here is only one way of several ways to interpret these passages:).

Cello and piano - easy to intermediate - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q11665 Arranged from the original version for Mandolin and Piano. Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by Julius Berger. This edition: Sheet music. Cello Library. Downloadable. Schott Music - Digital #Q11665. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q11665). Key: C minor.In 1796 Beethoven travelled to Prague where he met the Countess Josephine of Clary-Aldringen (later Countess Clamm-Gallas) who played the mandolin. For her, he wrote several works for mandolin and piano, four of which are still extant and have been arranged by Julius Berger for violoncello and piano. As Beethoven had written pieces for a mandolin tuned to G-D-A-E, it was unproblematic to transcribe them for the violoncello. The arrangements are written in the original keys and keep as close to the original as possible. These elegant works are little shining gems. Headed 'Adagio' and written in one movement at first, 'Sonatina' WoO 43a in the tragic C minor key with a bright C major section in the middle is followed by a marvellous 'Adagio ma non troppo' WoO 43b of religious depth.

Cello Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1025985 Composed by diego longobardi. 20th Century,Contemporary,World. Individual part. 2 pages. Diego longobardi #5726225. Published by diego longobardi (A0.1025985). Compuestas en su mayoría en el año 2011, estas piezas para violoncello solo nacieron en principio por una necesidad propia de tener un repertorio que, si bien presentara un desafío, con la práctica y el estudio fuese posible  interpretar. Muchas veces note que las obras escritas para cello que llegaban a mi atril eran, o bien demasiado sencillas (en la tonalidad de do mayor, en primera posición, con figuras rítmicas elementales, etc.) o eran directamente imposibles para quien no es un virtuoso. Luego de comentarlo con algunos colegas descubrí que no solo yo enfrentaba ese problema, así que me decidí a crear mis propias obras, para las cuales utilicé tonalidades con algunas alteraciones (las necesarias) las primeras cuatro posiciones (mas la media posición) y los golpes de arco que mas me atraía ejecutar, así como los diferentes matices, intensidades y caracteres propios de la música de cámara que siempre queremos tocar y a veces no se puede por las razones arriba mencionadas. Por supuesto este no es un libro de ejercicios, pero las digitaciones indicadas y las ligaduras son, además de las más adecuadas a mi criterio, ideales para ejercitar los cambios de posición, los golpes de arco y las técnicas que ofrece nuestro instrumento. El recurrente uso de la escala menor armónica es porque me gusta a mí, que soy el autor. Otro detalle que algunos han considerado una ventaja es el hecho de que las piezas estén compuestas por un cellista, ya que suponen que no hay dificultades innecesarias ni simplificaciones hasta el absurdo, en otras palabras, que sabe lo que puede tocar y lo que no. Es mi deseo que quien se embarque en el estudio de estas piezas disfrute con su ejecución, encuentre una excusa para pasar más horas estudiando y se convierta en un músico más completo.
