Concert Band - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.886124 Composed by Jason McChristian. Contemporary. Score and parts. 70 pages. Jason Gary McChristian #552907. Published by Jason Gary McChristian (A0.886124). This work is comprised of three series, each series contains four issues. It may be performed in a number of different ways; each issue or series may be performed separately or, the entire work, consisting of twelve issues and a Prologue, may be performed as a whole. In its entirety, the running time of Strange Myths and Wondrous Images is approximately forty-five minutes. Each issue represents an element: either an archetype, place, or an emotion, commonly found in comic book stories. As a whole, Strange Myths and Wondrous Images tells a particular story arc, one that is intentionally void of specific details, inviting the listener to imagine the particulars. Each series also contains its own sub-plot and emotional progression, while the formal structure suggests the traditional symphonic form. ​ Each issue has a duration of three to four minutes, limited to a small, but intensely expressive amount of thematic material. The challenge inherent in this limitation was to create enough contrast, yet not so much as to require more time to resolve it, therefore, each issue is self-contained.

String Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1517572 By Keith Terrett. By Original: Korofo Moussa, 1904 Modern: Fodéba Keïta, 1958. Arranged by Keith Terrett. Instructional,Multicultural,Patriotic,Praise & Worship,Traditional,World. 9 pages. Keith Terrett #1091734. Published by Keith Terrett (A0.1517572). Korofo Moussa's song:The music of the anthem is derived from a praise song for the late-1800s king of Labé, in Fouta Djallon, Alpha Yaya Diallo (or Alfa Yaya). Alpha Yaya is, along with Wassoulou Empire founder Samory Touré, considered central by Guineans to the foundation of the modern Guinean nation, in part because of his fierce attempts to resist colonisation.In 1904, Alpha Yaya was one of many traditional chiefs and kings summoned to a doctrinal conference with French colonists, who were still in the process of consolidating his territory.The chiefs each brought along a retinue for the journey; in Alpha Yaya's retinue was griot Korofo Moussa, from Kissidougou in the south of the country. Alpha Yaya arrived to the conference on its sixth day, and Korofo Moussa is said to have spontaneously improvised, along with his troupe of dancers and kora players, a praise song for Alpha Yaya after he arrived. The song began with the line Alpha Yaya, Mansa bè Manka (Alpha Yaya, mansas (kings) are not the same). According to Fodéba Isto Keira, former Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture, the performance took place in the building of the modern Directorate of the Judicial Police in the Kaloum sub-prefecture of Conakry.Korofo Moussa's air quickly became popular; it was sung and played by all the griots for the rest of the conference, and within a few days it was known throughout Conakry. Alpha Yaya's personal griot immediately trained to play the song. Upon the return of the kings and their retinues to their regions, it spread throughout the country.Modern anthem:Upon approaching independence in 1958, the lyrics of Korofo Moussa's song were reworked and written in French by artist, choreographer and politician Fodéba Keïta and Jean Cellier for the national anthem of Guinea. Korofo Moussa's melody was retained for the anthem. According to Keira, Keïta used the solfège method when working with the music. Keira stated that the national anthem had to be inspired by something from Fouta Djallon for the sake of avoiding frustrations and preserving national unity.

Instrumental Duet,Piano Harpsichord,Instrumental Duet,Organ,Piano - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.534004 Composed by Frederick Frahm. Christian,Concert,Contemporary,Sacred,Standards. Score and parts. 18 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #3095065. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.534004). Fiestas de Santa Fe is a collection of music inspired by the culture and geography of Santa Fe, New Mexico.The four pieces are written for a modest instrument and with the exception of a few passages requiring the use of a pull down pedal registration, the sores are playable on the manuals only. With a few adjustments, the music can also be played on a Harpsichord or Pianoforte. The set may be played complete or individually as the performer elects.Santos, in three movements, features musical depictions of New Mexico saints which are often represented by local folk artists in either retablos (wooden panels) or bultos (carved figures). These images are not considered icons, but merely symbols of the invisible power or personages to whom an individual's prayers are addressed. San Acacio is the patron of soldiers and headaches. San Cayetano patiently ministered to the sick and the poor. San Geronimo was a flagellant who frequently heard the voice (or call) of God.Tierra Roja is inspired by the distinct natural colors and qualities of light found in the American Southwest. Sunrises and sunsets are often spectacularly colorful events which leave an indelible impression on the mind. This score includes programmatic music to suggest a timeless of the desert, the crystalline blue skies, and even the scampering of a gecko inthe noonday sun.Farolitos en la Nieve is an evocative setting of an old Christmas hymn which offers an image of the city on Christmas Eve as it is bedecked in softly lit candles on the sidewalks in the falling snow.La Posadas focuses on an annual Advent-tide event in Santa Fe which commemorates the journey of the Holy Family from Nazareth to Bethlehem. A procession is led (often by two children) through the town to find a house where Mary and Joseph might be welcome. A setting of Adoro te Devote is found in the midst of this piece evoking the reverence of the community around the manger bearing the Christ Child.

Large Ensemble Bass Trombone - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.792126 Composed by Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni. Arranged by Biehn, Sean F. Baroque. Score and parts. 17 pages. Gordon Cherry #3664891. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.792126). The Adagio in G minor for Trombone and String Quartet is a wonderful arrangement of the work attributed to Tomaso Albinoni (1671-1751). The work is about 7 minutes in length for advanced performers.Below is a short article about the Adagio by the arranger, Sean F. Biehn:There is much controversy as to who wrote the Adagio for Strings in G minor and whether it was a stolen idea or embellished from a piece of a manuscript. The piece is considered to be a fragment of Tomaso Albinoni's (1671-1751) original manuscript with a few measures of the melodic material and the basso continuo. During World War II, the bombings of Dresdon, which is where the Saxon State Library resided, was destroyed and Remo Giazotto (1910-1998) evacuated most of its documents, being that he was a musicologist-and an Albinoni biographer. Giazotto took the fragment of manuscript and completed what he thought would be the completed piece which in turn makes his completed piece an original composition. In 1958, Giazotto finalized the piece under the title of Adagio in G minor for Strings and Organ, on Two Thematic Ideas and on a Figured Bass by Tomaso Albinoni. Remo Giazotto never shared the manuscript and after his death in 1998, there has never been a record of the missing manuscript fragment. To this day, the string ensemble with organ is popularly performed. There have been numerous and recent alterations in instrumentation for this piece due to the fact that other soloists wanted to perform the beautiful piece. This particular version of the piece contains a string quartet accompanying a trombone soloist.

Lead Sheet / Fake Book. 2 pages. Marcelo Borba #1075448. Published by Marcelo Borba (A0.1499396). Leadsheet style ## Beijo Partido is a song composed by Brazilian guitarist and composer Toninho Horta, and it has become one of the most emblematic songs in Brazilian popular music, especially within the context of the Clube da Esquina movement, of which Horta was a member. The song also gained notoriety in the voice of Milton Nascimento, one of the leading figures of this movement. ### Origin and ContextToninho Horta composed Beijo Partido in 1973, during a period when he was involved with Clube da Esquina, a collective of musicians from Minas Gerais that mixed elements of Brazilian popular music, jazz, rock, and classical music. The song reflects this mix of styles, characterized by complex harmonies and a melancholic melody, elements that became Horta's trademarks.### Lyrics and MeaningThe lyrics of Beijo Partido are poetic and subjective, a common trait in the compositions of Clube da Esquina. The song talks about the end of a romantic relationship, using the metaphor of a broken kiss to describe the rupture and pain of separation. Despite its melancholic tone, the song carries an intrinsic beauty in the way sadness is expressed delicately and introspectively.### Recordings and ImpactBeijo Partido was first recorded on Toninho Horta's solo album, Terra dos Pássaros, released in 1980. The version by Milton Nascimento, which also became well-known, helped to further popularize the song. Over the years, Beijo Partido has been covered by various artists, both in Brazil and abroad, and is considered a classic of MPB (Música Popular Brasileira).***[Português] Beijo Partido é uma canção composta pelo guitarrista e compositor brasileiro Toninho Horta, e se tornou uma das músicas mais emblemáticas da música popular brasileira, especialmente no contexto do movimento Clube da Esquina, do qual Horta foi um dos integrantes.

A canção reflete essa mistura de estilos, sendo caracterizada por harmonias complexas e uma melodia melancólica, elementos que se tornaram marcas registradas de Horta.### Letra e SignificadoA letra de Beijo Partido é poética e subjetiva, algo comum nas composições do Clube da Esquina. A canção fala sobre o fim de um relacionamento amoroso, utilizando a metáfora do beijo partido para descrever a ruptura e a dor da separação. Apesar de melancólica, a música carrega uma beleza intrínseca na forma como a tristeza é expressa de maneira delicada e introspectiva.### Gravações e ImpactoBeijo Partido foi gravada pela primeira vez no álbum solo de Toninho Horta, Terra dos Pássaros, lançado em 1980. A versão de Milton Nascimento, que também se tornou bastante conhecida, ajudou a popularizar ainda mais a canção.

Small Ensemble Piano - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.890708 Composed by John Pitts. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score and parts. 24 pages. Intensely Pleasant Music #3424703. Published by Intensely Pleasant Music (A0.890708). Experiencing High Volumes (2014) triet 6 minutes Composed for the Severnside Composers Alliance’s second Three is the Magic Number concerts of contemporary piano triets at the Lantern, Colston Hall, Bristol in 2014, performed by Milena Zhivotovskaya, Rob Broomfield and John Pitts. This is pleasant, relaxing armchair music, which doesn’t actually get particularly loud. I have Francisco Tárrega (1852-1909) to thank for a motif that recurs through the piece – a short section of his Gran Vals, which you may recognise. I have omitted the last note of the original melody, which is actually an octave down from a more familiar version you may know. Before this motif made its way into this piece I had considered a title along the lines of Cycle of Thirds for harmonic reasons which may be obvious. But I put that idea permanently on hold after trying to get through to a utilities company. In retrospect, I should have ensured that the end looped neatly back to the beginning (which sadly it doesn’t quite), so that I could attempt to sell a recording of this piece to businesses for their call waiting music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4MDdZpWQNA
