I originally wrote Total Eclipse as an expressive Art Song for solo voice and piano.  I used several lines of poetry from Newburgh Hamilton (1741) and set them to unique music that is a fusion of Classical, Romantic, and Modern, with a touch of Pop.  The music expressively drifts from major to minor to modal every few measures, inspired by the themes of darkness and light.  When I adapted it for SATB I filled out the already rich harmony and added ethereal 'oo's under some of the melody.  In a few brief measures, at different places, SAB each will have a divisi line where it splits to 2 parts.  (The texture is never thicker than 5 parts at once.)  This approachable piece of music is a good introduction for singers to the interpretation of an Art Song and is a dramatic performance piece for concert.  And perfect for the upcoming April 8 total eclipse!
(Haydn also used variations of this text to create several Recitatives and an Aria for his oratorio Samson.)

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.1156380

Composed by Carrie Jacobs-Bond. Arranged by Phil Beaman. Jazz. Score. 2 pages. Phil Beaman #756699. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.1156380).

Her Greatest Charm is a piano solo arrangement of the 1901 hit pop song by Carrie Jacobs-Bond, which was originally a ballad for voice and piano. I have turned this short 20 seconds ballad into a 2 minute boogie-woogie. I created a LH boogie pattern which continues the same for the long introduction with various pulsed chords over the top. The first section continues the same one chord boogie pattern and adds the 8 bar melody, with slightly altered rhythyms and articulations, above it, this section being repeated. For the second section I take the same 8 bar melody, back to the original lyrical rhythm and articulations, and reharmonize with changing chords still in the boogie pattern. Whimsical fun and driving energy! 2 page score; 1:45 minutes This piece is also found in my book, Carrie Jacobs-Bond, Popular Songs 1900-1925, a collection of 51 of her songs I have arranged for piano solo, which is also available on this site.

SKU: A0.845258

Composed by Anon. Arranged by Phil Beaman. Concert,Folk,Instructional,Sacred,Spiritual. Score and parts. 6 pages. Phil Beaman #6501827. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.845258).

This easy Instrumental Quartet arrangement of the old folk/spiritual draws its power and effectiveness from its pared down simplicity. It is reharmonized from other traditional versions and kept in strophic form.  
Every measure has the same rhythm - a quarter note followed by a dotted half note.   Most of the time the pair of notes is the same pitch. There is plenty of time to figure out your next new note. There are no extra markings, just basic notes with a few accidentals. The beauty comes from the harmonic chords, so strive to listen for a good balance in your ensemble.
This piece can be played majestic or meditative, depending on your mood and event needs. Simple, beautiful, and flexible; just what every musician needs in their repertoire. Great for classroom work as a first ensemble piece and the first small recital piece.  
Range - Part 1 is 1 octave; Parts 2, 3, 4 is only a fifth
2 page score, 1 page @ part
0:50 - 1:15 minutes with repeat

SKU: A0.845260

Composed by Z Noskowski. Arranged by Phil Beaman. Baroque,Classical,Romantic Period. 14 pages. Phil Beaman #6505871. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.845260).

Zygmunt Noskowski was the great Polish composition professor. He is best known for his symphonic works, but also wrote many piano pieces based on dances. I have taken his piano Gavotte and freely arranged it for Instrumental Quartet.  
This brisk piece is lively with a busy texture. I have crafted 4 independent lines that are each of equal importance and the focus quickly shifts from one part to the other. The lines rhythmically weave together, answering each other. The real interest in the piece is the constantly changing and contrasting dynamics and articulation. Often every beat of the bar has a different articulation, and the individual parts rarely have the same articulation at the same time. (i.e., One part might be slurred while another part is playing staccato and yet another is accented.) This complexity of texture creates energy and excitement. A great piece to spice up any concert with a fun smile.  
This composition is a fusion of multiple eras; originally written during the Romantic period, but with many Classical elements and a Baroque form and style, to which I add some Contemporary touches.  
Notes and rhythms are Intermediate, but adding all of the markings at this pace makes it Advanced Intermediate.
