Downloadable, Set of string parts. Schott Music - Digital #Q7028. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q7028). Ganz bewusst legt Hermann Regner hier ausschließlich alte deutsche Weihnachtslieder in vierstimmigen Sätzen für Blockflöten (SATB) oder Streicher, auch in Kombination miteinander, vor. Der Melodiestimme ist jeweils der Text der 1. Strophe unterlegt, so dass Sänger, solistisch oder chorisch, ebenfalls mitwirken können. Vor- und Zwischenspiele zu den Strophen geben jedem Stück eine befriedigende, in sich geschlossene Form. Spezielles Anliegen war dabei, den Charakter und die besondere Art der jeweiligen Grundmelodie zu wahren. Die Sätze sind zunächst für Schulen, Musikschulen und das Musizieren in der Familie gedacht. Für Aufführungen in größerem öffentlichem Rahmen ist jedoch auch die Zusammenstellung mehrere Sätze zu einer Suite oder einer Kantate sehr empfehlenswert.

Downloadable, Choral score. Duration 4 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q23399. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q23399). German.Dass Hans-Martin Linde ein wahres Allroundtalent ist, stellt er nicht nur als weltweit gefeierter Blockflöten-Virtuose, sondern auch als Dirigent, Dozent, Maler und nicht zuletzt als Komponist unter Beweis. Bei der Textauswahl seines Stücks Die Zahl ist nichts für vierstimmigen gemischten Chor (SATB) a cappella begibt sich der in Basel beheimatete Vollblutmusiker auf buddhistisches Terrain. Denn diesem Werk liegen Verse des „Dhammapada“ zugrunde, einer im 4. bis 3. Jahrhundert v. Chr. entstandenen indischen Spruchsammlung, die zu den heiligen Schriften des Pali-Kanons gehört. Auf rhythmisch wie tonal vertrackte Weise vertont Linde den von Hans Much ins Deutsche übertragenen Text, der die Ver(sch)wendung leerer Worthülsen anprangert, denn: „Die Zahl ist nichts“ … auf den wahrhaften Inhalt kommt es an!

Full Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.994719 Composed by Darian Stavans. 20th Century,Contemporary,Standards. Score and parts. 66 pages. Music Studio #4321783. Published by Music Studio (A0.994719). Noir et Blanc.Noir et Blanc - Orchestral Score / Album Noir et Blanc by Darian Stavans.Noir et Blanc is a work that was totally conceived for orchestra. As we listen to the album we are intrigued, for the only element lacking is the contrast suggested by the title. Why? The answer is that contrasts do not exist. They are simply the furthermost points in a grayscale that when displayed like a fan shows these extremes and therefore their contrasts. The deeds and acts that flow inside our mask of power come and go in nostalgic melancholy through pain and glory trickling like the water in a brook, where tenderness meets madness. Sometimes everything seems the same even though each element acts differently. This album speaks about that intriguing grayscale and the powerful force that lets it plunge into the depths of human essence and the soul. In the face of facts, seemingly distinct and at the same time so alike, only courage will prove out their differences and make us dare call out the Noir et Blanc, the Black and White, but until that moment comes things will appear to flow in a grayscale. Orchestral work.64 pages.Duration: 39:00Website: www.darianstavans.comemail: darianstavans@gmail.comYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/darianstavans/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Darian.Stavans1.

Piano Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1335536 Composed by Juan María Solare. 20th Century,21st Century,Classical,Contemporary,Contest,Festival. Score. 19 pages. Juan Maria Solare #921371. Published by Juan Maria Solare (A0.1335536). Hommage to Ursula is a piano piece in memory of Ursula Görsch (1932-2023). The piece is based on the six sounding letters of her last name (GERSCH, where the O is omitted, the R represents RE - the D note in Spanish, Italian, or Turkish - and the S represents the E flat, 'Es' in German), as well as on the remaining six notes of the total chromatic scale (C#, F, F#, Ab, A, B). Both Pitch Class Sets are identical from an intervallic perspective - transposed by a tritone. Such coincidences confirm to me that I am on the right path, at least musically.The reference to Turkey is not coincidental, as Ursula taught in Istanbul for many years.The initial texture of the piece - a kind of toccata with many repeated notes - is a purely musical homage to Ursula: she used this texture in some passages of her compositions. Besides that, this piece contains no direct quotation from Ursula's music.The work Hommage an Ursula is based on a series of 12 notes. The original version (Prime) and the inverted version (Inversed) alternate. From these 24 versions of the series, 24 sections result. I add a final section based on the original series ('Das Ende im Anfange'*); thus, there are 25 sections.To order the 5 motivic elements, I generate a Latin square. The 5 elements do not rotate, but, in each of the 5 main sections, the initial motive is always the same (A), and the order of the other four (BCDE) changes, permutating according to the following Latin square:A BCDEA CEBDA DBECA EDCBA BCDEThis work can then be considered as a derivation of the 'theme and variations' structure, with the peculiarity that there are five sub-themes that are rearranged in each of the variations.This piece lasts about 11 minutes. The premiere, performed by the composer (that is, by myself), took place on November 26, 2023, at the Konzertsaal of the Hochschule für Künste in Bremen, during the concert 'Gedenkkonzert Ursula Görsch und Harald Kruse', as part of the 73rd Hausmusikwoche, organized by the DTKV (German Association of Sound Artists) in cooperation with the ABK (Circle of Composers in Bremen).This is not an easy piece to listen to. It is absolutely consistent but perhaps monotonous. During the premiere, the yawns of someone in the audience prompted me to briefly interrupt the performance to inform them that the end was near. After the concert, one of the organizers suggested to me that the piece was too 'anstrengend' (demanding, exhausting). It is up to the gentle pianists to risk experiencing the same as me.* 'Das Ende im Anfange' reads the legend that can be read in the circle of tonalities reproduced by Johann Friedrich Michael Wiedeburg in his treatise Der sich selbst informirende Clavierspieler (Leipzig and Halle, 1765-1775, Verlag der Buchhandlung des Waisenhauses).Juan María SolareBremen, September & December 2023.

Guitar,Piano,Vocal,Voice - Digital Download SKU: A0.935515 Composed by Shaun Parry. Sacred. Score. 1 pages. MusicforMillions #5754989. Published by MusicforMillions (A0.935515). THIS IS AN ORIGINAL (simple) SONG I WROTE FOR MY MOM AND SISTER To be clear, it is a prayer written in musical form. I guess that makes it a psalm. A few nights ago I was feeling the pain of so many people around the globe who are suffering due to the pandemic. I was inspired to sit down and write an simple song of comfort for them-for us. The very same evening I started writing the song, unbeknownst to me, my sister was being taken to the hospital where she collapsed of heart failure and was life-flighted to the nearest cardiovascular facility.They put her on life support (ECMO and ventilator) to let her heart and lungs rest. Two days later, due to complications with circulation in her leg she had to be rushed into emergency surgery to pull the catheter from the artery leading to her heart. This required taking her off of life support four days earlier than they had planned. We were informed she may not make it. Thanks to thousands of people praying for her, and her own indomitable spirit, she pulled through-but not without more complications.A fever kicked in and lack of circulation in her other leg caused even more concern. Her heart and body were suffering greatly. As we prayed (and thousands of you from around the world prayed with us) I kept massaging and nuancing the exact melody line I wanted, at the same time interweaving various lyrics to intuit what felt right. I wanted this to be a song anyone could sing for their beloved family member or friend who was struggling. Every note, every syllable had to land just right-as if it was meant to be.Through all this my mother was going through her own bit of personal anguish. We were basically waiting for my sister to die. Due to COVID regulations nobody, not even family, could visit her in ICU. My mother bought a plane ticket... just in case. We hoped beyond hope that, If she died, she would not die alone. I wanted to finish this song by Mother's Day to share with my mother and my dear struggling sister who is also a mother of 5. I finished it and sang it through tears on Mother's Day. I have many friends show speak Spanish who are going through very difficult times due to COVID-19 and the subsequent quarantine. The second time through is a carefully crafted Spanish translation. I hope to hear people singing this far and wide with, to and for each other.

Playabla as a quartet (vln1 & vln2 play the same part (a la 8va.)!Nineteen days before his death on 5 December 1791, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed his last complete work, the Freimaurerkantate, K. 623. In parts of the printed edition of this cantata there appeared the song K. 623a Lasst uns mit geschlungnen Händen (Let us with joined hands). To this melody the Austrian national anthem is sung.Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791) was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era. His output of over 600 compositions includes works widely acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music.

Something About You is a single released by British band Level 42 in 1985, in advance of its inclusion on the album 'World Machine' the same year. It is the only Level 42 song to have been a top 10 hit in the United States, where it reached no. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and it was their second highest top 10 hit in the UK, reaching no. 6 on the UK Singles Chart (with Lessons in Love peaking at no. 3 the following year). In the music video, lead singer and bassist, Mark King, appears as a dark clown magician, representing the negative aspects in the relationships of other band members with their girlfriends, all played by actress Cherie Lunghi. Turn back the clock and inject a slice of 1980's jazz-funk into your band's next concert with this brilliant song, arranged to preserve the original key and stylistic elements of the classic track and subsequent live performances.

B-Flat Bass Clarinet,B-Flat Clarinet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1330458 By Budapest Scoring Clarinet Ensemble. By Josquin des Prez. Arranged by David Warin Solomons. Renaissance. Full Performance. Duration 115. David Warin Solomons #918326. Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.1330458). There is a theory that El grillo refers to Carlo Frillo, a singer who worked for the same patron as Josquin, Cardinal Galeazzo Sforza, and that it was intended to remind the prelate that his musicians’ salaries were overdue. The Sforzas were apparently notoriously mean to their employees, in spite of (or possibly because of) the fact that one of them was happy to pay a large sum of money for a parrot that could recite the Creed. Certainly the words of this little piece, with their reference to the cricket who sings for love, seem to have a good deal more impact in this sardonic light. Although the piece is similar in form to many other frottole, it is really quite unlike most such works, especially the way the repeated notes are used for comic effect.  In this instrumental arrangement I have add several decorations and divisions, to illustrate the words behind it, and also just for fun.El grillo è buon cantoreche tiene lungo verso.Dalle beve grillo canta.Ma non fa come gli altri uccelli,come li han cantato un pocovan' de fatto in altro loco,  sempre el grillo sta pur saldoQuando la maggior è l' caldoalhor canta sol per amore.[suggested English paraphrase]The cricket is a good singerand he sings for a long timeGive him a drink so he can go on singingBut he doesn't do what the other birds doWho after singing a littleJust go elsewhere.  The cricket is always steadfastWhen the weather is hottest,    then he sings just for lovePerformed by The Budapest Scoring Clarinet Ensemble.

Schott Music - Digital #Q42473. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q42473). As far back as I can remember, I have always been fascinated with fairy tales: with their archetypal characters and set phrases like ‘Once upon a time …’ and ‘… they all lived happily ever after’. Fairy tales were however also a source of unrest for me as a seismograph of mankind’s underlying primal fears and desires. So as a performer and composer I have always felt that Robert Schumann’s Märchenerzählungen [Fairy Tales] (scored for the same instrumentation as my own composition) was a disjointed, complex contemporary work – despite the innocence and naivety of its initial appearance. I therefore do not intend my own Es war einmal … [Once upon a time …] to be a mere sentimental, nostalgic flight into the distant past, but as a naive and fantastical alternative concept to our genuine world with all its upheavals. Jörg Widmann.
