String Quartet Cello,String Quartet,Viola,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1404051 By Mike Spiller. By Scott Joplin. Arranged by Mike Spiller. 19th Century. 16 pages. Platypus Music #987224. Published by Platypus Music (A0.1404051). This well known piece made popular in the movie 'The Sting' has been arranged for string quartet. The 1st violin part has the melody line with the 2nd violin part providing close harmonies and with similar rhythms to the 1st violin part. The viola and cello parts provide an on and off beat rhythmic section. The piece shouldn't be performed too fast as is often the case with the music of  Scott Joplin.

Easy Piano - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.957948 Composed by Joshua Sharo. Contemporary,Standards. Score. 1 pages. Joshua Sharo #3096341. Published by Joshua Sharo (A0.957948). Practice Tips: Don't let all of the accidentals in the last two lines scare you. All material after measure 18 (except for the last chord) is made up of major seconds. If you look at the left hand, you should be able to see that the top notes form a chromatic scale from Ab, and that the bottom notes form a chromatic scale from Gb. If you can remember this, you shouldn't have to worry about figuring out each accidental.The last chord in the right hand might look hard, but it is really just a B major triad (B, D#, and F#) with an added F. If you're wondering why the chord sounds so bad, try and relate the ending to the title.

UPC: 038081331997.Although Movin' Uptown has some technical difficulties (range and tempo), it shouldn't present too much of a musical challenge for your students. The style and content are very similar to a number of Sammy Nest pieces that high school and college bands regularly perform. Since this is an up-tempo flag-waver, Benny Carter chose to use a 64-bar AABA song form instead of the usual 32, which keeps each chorus at a length of one minute. Each A section consists of and a and a b, and the B section also are split in 2 8-bar sections.

Choral Choir (TTBB) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.998322 Composed by Bourne and Fletcher. Arranged by Jack Simmonds. Contemporary. Octavo. 9 pages. Jack Simmonds #6058819. Published by Jack Simmonds (A0.998322). A gentle arrangement of a Busted album track from A Present for Everyone, pull at some heart strings with this toned down version of the original. Arranged for male voice choir, this arrangement only spans two octaves and is mainly homophonic so shouldn't be overly challenging in terms of content but is very effective stylistically. (Opportunity for showcasing soloist or small chorus in the first chorus as it is much softer than the rest of the piece.).

Published by R.J.Becker (A0.1207375). This advanced Big Band arrangement is dedicated to the trumpet section and demands a lot from every trumpeter, be it technique, sight reading or improvisational talent. One could call this arrangement the Four Brothers For Trumpets. For the other band members, Rolf Becker's arrangement shouldn't pose much of a problem. Dear Trumpet Section: Have fun and good luck!

Kazoo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1375374 Composed by Jasper Swank. 21st Century,Baroque,Classical,Comedy,Contemporary. 19 pages. Jasper Swank #959929. Published by Jasper Swank (A0.1375374). “This series of 10 short pieces was made as a stub for filling the absence of multi-part kazoo pieces. According to the composer, the classical world has been acting deprecatory towards new instruments. First, the clarinet, then the saxophone, and still many more are not accepted by conservative listeners. It’s time that people start to discover the beauty of new timbres, giving traditional settings and forms new entertaining context. Swunk believes himself the chosen advocate to bring instruments like the otamatone, the stroh violin, jazz harpsichord, the turkey, and, yes, the kazoo to the classical audience.�These words were stated under the pseudonym Funky Swunk at the online premiere of a selection of these pieces as performed by members of the Untitled Virtual Ensemble. After this premiere, an extra piece was added (Ⅸ. Bonus Track), making the suite a nice uneven 11 short pieces.The goal of this collection of pieces is in part to show that the kazoo can in fact be used for a new sound in a classical setting. A well-written piece will still sound as such, regardless of the instruments used. However, the main aspect of performing either a selection of these pieces (in any order) or the suite as a whole should be the fun in performing. Of course, this shouldn’t be at the cost of the musical quality, but I do wholeheartedly hope these pieces bring as much joy to the musicians and any audience as it brought me while composing them.Included in package • Full Score with introduction.

Stephen Davies #3465666. Published by Stephen Davies (A0.891854). Many scholarly, and some frankly impenetrable, analyses have been written on the subject of Contrapunctus 7, all available on the internet somewhere (mainly if you can't sleep!). So I would simply say that the motif throughout is stretched, further elongated, scrunched up, placed on different beats, played upsidedown, sideways, shortened, further shortened, over the bar, under the bar, off to the bar(!), and so on, it shouldn't work!! But of course it really does, really! I've known this piece for many years, but it was not until I began unravelling it for this Clarinet version that I must again doff my cap to old J.S. and his enduring genius!

Small Ensemble Clarinet,Trombone,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.782090 Composed by George Ferencz. Arranged by George Ferencz. Folk,Patriotic,Traditional. Score and parts. 16 pages. Aaron Hettinga #6665989. Published by Aaron Hettinga (A0.782090). This fun polka is presented in the instrumentation of Alford’s Hungry Five series of Polka/German band books. Atypical to those classic publications, there are some lively 16th note runs featured in the tuba part during the opening strain (you may want your tuba player to set the tempo for this one). Across the rest of the ensemble, everybody gets a chance to take on the melody along with a number of other active lines and transitions to keep things interesting for players and listeners alike.This composition fits right in with the style of the other traditional Hungry Five pieces. There are no extreme range requirements (other than some lovely chalumeau register clarinet lines and a trombone part that briefly reaches its way up to 3rd ledger line G) and the technical challenges shouldn’t be out of reach for intermediate players so even fairly young ensembles could include this on a German band performance. Ready to go for adding a fine waltz to your Oktoberfest gig!

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.961566 Composed by Olly Wedgwood. Concert,Jazz,Standards. Score. 3 pages. OllysPianoSheets #5792833. Published by OllysPianoSheets (A0.961566). Friends shouldn't just hang out in fair weather, so here is All Weather Friends, a gentle swing waltz ideal for established intermediate players at about the Grade 4-5 standard (ABRSM).The melody and accompaniment is based upon a classic jazz waltz rhythm, so to get into the feel of this piece, you may find it useful to first practice clapping this rhythm:Remember that the quaver eighth notes are swung.The trick with this piece is to let the melody sing out above the jazz waltz accompaniment, so keep an ear on the melody at all times.In bar 21, the semiquaver 16th notes can be played a little faster than written, which will create more of a 'turn' ornament. Have a listen to the performance recording clip (above) at about halfway through to get the idea.This jazz waltz piano sheet music provides excellent practice for working on phrasing and sustain pedal technique. Occasionally, you may find a couple of hand position changes that risk disrupting the flow of the melodic phrase. In these instances, try a touch of sustain pedal to smooth out the transition. An example of this can be found in bar 31.After the repeated opening melody, the middle section moves into the key of G minor, featuring a rising arpeggio-based accompaniment with sustain pedal. There is a lot of quaver eighth-note movement in this section, so be sure to keep this rhythm smoothly swinging in the usual triplet manner:This middle section reaches a crescendo at bar 37 with a rippling chord effect between both hands. Try experimenting with different ways of splitting up these chords - you could ripple up from the left hand to the right hand, or try rippling both hands at the same time. Stick with whatever sounds good to you!After a poco rall the original melody returns via a D.C. al Coda. As is the convention for first and second time repeat bars, take the second time bar on the D.C. and then to the Coda.I hope you enjoy All Weather Friends, whatever the weather!Explore more fun piano sheet music by Olly Wedgwood at https://ollyspianosheets.com 

Piano Solo - Digital Download SKU: A0.1025254 Composed by Adrian E. Wagner. Contemporary. Score. 2 pages. Adrian E. Wagner #5038501. Published by Adrian E. Wagner (A0.1025254). Rocket Surgery is a bouncy, dance-paced instrumental work, composed by Adrian Wagner during his senior year of college. The title refers to two common sayings; whilst describing a task which shouldn't be especially difficult, you might say it's not rocket science, or it's not brain surgery, or perhaps even it's not rocket surgery. While it was originally written as a piano solo, the composer also drew out an orchestral arrangement, which Explorchestra premiered at Binghamton University, in April 2019. To a certain extent, he was trying to mimic electronic dance music in a completely acoustic manner. Unlike a handful of his other works, this piece is not so easy. This is Rocket Surgery.Good luck suppressing the urge to get up and dance!
