Classical,Contemporary. Brass Band. 141 pages. Dragon Music Publishing #687374. Published by Dragon Music Publishing (A0.1083144). Northern Line is an exciting and dramatic original work for brass band. It is a tribute to the heritage of York’s railway industry and its workers, who over many years have placed the City of York at the heart of the UK’s railway network. The music does not attempt to depict the sounds of a train journey but I confess that some of the initial ideas for the composition came from seeing the mighty ‘Flying Scotsman’ locomotive laid out in pieces during its recent restoration and – to my eyes at least - resembling a the instruments of large and somewhat bizarre percussion orchestra. Northern Line was commissioned by York Railway Institute Brass Band and first performed by that band at York Theatre Royal in October 2009, conducted by Derek Warley.

Both contain essential truths still evident in today's turbulent times.Although the text expresses sentiments that might be the stuff of childhood and naiveté, the music is turbulent, perhaps hinting at the cynicism of today's world. Dramatic and moving, with convincing choral writing and a virtuosic piano accompaniment, this piece is an experience not soon forgotten. Duration: 4:10.

SATB choir (choir divisi) unaccompanied - Medium - Digital Download SKU: MQ.7.0742-E Composed by Paul Rardin and Ruthie Foster. African American Heritage. Instrument parts. 14 pages. Galaxy Music Corporation - Digital #7.0742-E. Published by Galaxy Music Corporation - Digital (MQ.7.0742-E). English.American blues icon Ruthie Foster released Mama Said on her 2007 recording The Phenomenal Ruthie Foster. The lyrics are a mother’s advice to her daughter, warning her to “learn how to pray� and to “fall on your knees before you fall in the wrong direction.� This arrangement is deliberately “choral,� preferring to honor Ms. Foster’s exquisite vocal shadings—a bend here, a fall-off there—by avoiding exact imitation. The basses provide the rhythm section of electric bass and closed hi-hat cymbal, leaving the upper three parts in gospel harmony in all but a few measures of the piece. The divisi is confined to a few chords and is not difficult. An arresting and totally unique setting that will be a favorite with any group that is comfortable singing unaccompanied.
