Chamber Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1418391 Composed by Erik Saite. Arranged by Andrew Middleton. 20th Century. 71 pages. Andrew Middleton #999957. Published by Andrew Middleton (A0.1418391). Saties Gnossienne were very controversial works when they were first composed in 1890, not only were the harmonies were modern for the time but he did not use time signatures or bar lines in the music to allow more freedom. This arrangement of Three Gnossiennes for Orchestra was inspired by Debussy’s arrangements of Satie’s Gymnopedies. The simplistic nature of the music means it is accessible to intermediate ensembles, and complimentary bar lines and time signatures have been included to facilitate ensemble performances. The download includes a full score and complete set of parts. For more updates on new arrangements follow my Facebook page on https://www.facebook.com/a.middletonmusic/ Or subscribe to my Youtube page at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCClIYqddA2wMpdaxSq3BKEw?view_as=subscriber.

Score and parts. 18 pages. Austin Ralphson #5801505. Published by Austin Ralphson (A0.563990). Satie wrote a set of three Gnossiennes for the piano right at the end of the 19th Century. Always one to challenge convention, he invented the word 'Gnossienne' especially for theses pieces - it has no other meaning. He also decided to notate the pieces without key signatures, time signatures or even bar lines and I have decided to do the same here in this arrangement. The piece gradually unfolds in a kind of trance-like hypnotic ambiance; this arrangement features the melody in all parts, starting unusually in the bass.

Prelude 19 in A Major Ionian from 24 Preludes for the Piano in Major and Minor Modes by composer Brian Golden   The creative concept in writing these preludes is to provide a link to past preludes written for the keyboard, and in particular to the works of J.S. Bach and Frederic Chopin, whose works stand as essential repertoire for any student of the piano.  Using Bach’s and Chopin’s examples, my goal was to compose in all twenty-four keys, yet offer my own variation on the progression of key signatures – Bach’s being a pattern of major to parallel minor progressing chromatically through all keys, and Chopin’s a pattern of major to relative minor keys progressing clockwise through the circle of fifths.  In order to expand my harmonic and melodic possibilities, I have included the modal keys rather than only the major and harmonic minor keys, and have chosen to work counterclockwise through the circle of fifths, which is a more natural harmonic progression.  Therefore, all major preludes resolve from one to another V-I, as well as do all the minor preludes.    While there are seven modal scales, I decided to leave out the locrian modes for the following reasons.  First, due to the diminished fifth, the locrian mode cannot be thought of as either major nor minor.  Second, the locrian mode did not have a relative key to pair with, since there were no other keys with the identical characteristic notes.    In creating the key architecture, I determined that there was only one solution to pairing major and relative minor scales based on a shared parent key and characteristic note - ionian/aolian, mixolydian/phrygian and lydian/dorian.  This specific order of modal scales is the only order that would enable composing in all twelve key signatures.  Finally, the inspiration for each prelude came from playing through several other preludes in the same keys - mostly by Bach and Chopin - and letting their themes and styles influence me in the writing of my own.

I use this with my advanced band as it has some challenging sections and some uncommon key signatures, however, it is well received when we play it, and very catchy. Good for use with students entering into the upper grades in their instruments as it puts those more uncommon signatures into practice rather than scales and exercises.

Double Bass,String Bass Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.780067 Composed by Graham Boag. Contemporary. Individual part. 64 pages. Graham Boag #6211521. Published by Graham Boag (A0.780067). Dance Sequences was composed during the first lockdown of last year. It is in four movements each with its own character.Prelude - ‘Pagan Dance’ is highly rhythmic with angular melodic lines throughout with some release in the middle of all the raw emotion. As a result of this there is no clear tonal center in this movement. Perhaps a reflection on what was going on in the World at that point.Lament – ‘Slow Dance’ is more reflective almost Hymn like in its approach and has a clear tonal center around C minor with lyrical lines being passed from Bass 1 to Bass 2.The Wonky Waltz is more lighthearted in style as the title suggests it doesn’t quite know what to be with changing time signatures, perhaps a hint of the Tango thrown in before we finally feel a ‘Waltz’ pulse in the final few bars.Final Dance is another energetic movement that combines simple and compound time signatures to give a feeling of constant change and rhythmic contrast. The rhythmic pulse is highlighted with the use of Col Legno in two sections giving a more of a percussive effect. As the movement builds to the final Bartok pizz snap by all four players the ensemble are in homophonic harmony.I hope you enjoy listening to ‘Dance Sequences’.This audio was produced using NotePerformer 3 in Sibelius Ultimate, just follow this YouTube link:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUIBlHeZRjGSMoBRLoqwwGVGzdsBNeWOaI am delighted to finally be able to announce that the sheet music is now available for purchase and I would love to hear from any ensembles that perform this.Many thanks.

Yellow Envelope Publications #865003. Published by Yellow Envelope Publications (A0.1272805). Threshold is meant to portray time slowing down as you approach a black hole due to Gravitational Time Dilation. As such, I took a melody and reworked it in several different time signatures, to allow you to feel it stretch out or shrink, leading to moments where time basically goes out the window with prolonged moments of aleatoric metallic cacophony in the percussion section. Mixed in with the increasing and decreasing time signatures is something loosely resembling a fugue subject in the woodwinds. I’m not sure where it came from, but I love the feeling it gave this piece.By the way, I always thought it would be really cool if, during the end of the piece, the percussion could be spread throughout the performance venue to create a true surround sound experience, playing the aleatoric motive all around the audience. (Maybe even let some of the audience members participate too!)  …just a thought.Instrumentation2 Flute, Oboe, Bassoon, 2 Clarinet, Bass Clarinet,2 Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, Baritone Saxophone, 2 Trumpet, French Horn, 2 Trombone, Euphonium, Treble Clef Euphonium, Tuba6 Percussionists - Timpani, Snare Drum, Bass Drum, Floor Tom,2 Suspended Cymbal, Shaker (egg or shekere), Crash Cymbals, Tam-tam,Glockenspiel, and as many pitched metallic instruments as possible (G, A-flat, B-Flat)
