Piano Solo - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.836102 By Whitney Houston. By Michael Masser. Arranged by Ben M. Noynay. Contemporary,Pop. Score. 4 pages. Ben M. Noynay #3859703. Published by Ben M. Noynay (A0.836102). This is a very simple arrangement using the two-part system of playing piano. In a two-part system, the treble staff has the melody of the song to be played by the right hand, and the bass staff has the simple tonic triad chords with progressions from root position to first inversion to second inversion, and of course, to be played by the left hand. This arrangement will suit early intermediate students/players simple because it's in the original published key of A Major. However, beginner students/players will also find this arrangement easy to learn because the left hand chords are designed with very simple fingering assignments. Enjoy playing. .

Published by E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital (MQ.8865-E). UPC: 600313488658. English.Commissioned by Choral Arts Northwest, Robert Bode, director, this text focuses on the beauty of love and peace that can be found in the wondrous mystery of Christ’s birth. The bright light from the star and angels shining down on the manger is represented by the upper voices descending into clustered chords of light on the words “love came down.� The second element is a melody, initially sung by the tenors, that has a gentle, rocking motion—like that of a lullaby—representing Jesus’ mother Mary holding and rocking her child to sleep. These two themes weave together throughout the piece and finally coalesce to express the brightness of the sign that is signaled by the star and angels, as the upper voices sing the words “love divine,� painting colors of gold and white light illuminating the peaceful manger scene.

Flute Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.837512 Composed by Brett L. Wery. Instructional. Individual part. 96 pages. Sonata Grendel Publishing #6710119. Published by Sonata Grendel Publishing (A0.837512). A Tonal Lexicon for Flute is a complete method for scale and arpeggio training on flute. It contains the basic vocabulary of tonal music and includes: ·      Chromatic Scales·      Diminished Scale·      Dominant Seventh Chords·      Dorian Scales·      Full-Range Major Scales·      Full-Range Melodic Minor Scales·      Fully-Diminished Seventh Chords·      Half-Diminished Seventh Chords·      Harmonic Minor Scales·      Major Scales·      Major Seventh Chords·      Major Triads·      Melodic Minor Scale in Thirds·      Melodic Minor Scales·      Minor Seventh Chords·      Minor Triads·      Mixolydian Scales·      Natural Minor Scales·      Scales in Thirds·      Scales in Trills·      Whole Tone Scales Scales and arpeggios are ordered so that they progress logically, one to the other. This order contextualizes the melodic and harmonic structures so that the performer begins to develop a natural sense of how the scales and arpeggios function within a tonal framework. The scales and arpeggios are divided into three large units that include both major and minor keys, easy and difficult keys. The close relationship of each key is emphasized to build automaticity in fingering patterns. Enharmonic keys are represented in both spellings and non-diatonic scales such as whole tone and chromatic scales are spelled as they would be found in each of the fifteen key signatures. The use of octave designation symbols is avoided so that the player is able to acclimate themselves to the many ledger lines sometimes found in flute music. This is an essential book for any serious flute player who wishes to build reading acuity and fluency in any tonal setting.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.926671 Composed by Michael A. Morizio. Christian,Sacred. Octavo. 24 pages. M.A. Morizio #3588445. Published by M.A. Morizio (A0.926671). My dear friend, and Pastor Don Colageo and I cut our teeth together with this piece when we decided to dive headlong into this cycle of Seven Anthems to Christ. It was the second song of the (SEVEN ANTHEMS TO CHRIST) cycle that I had composed, but the first using his Greek translation(s). It eventually would become the last piece to grace the cycle of seven in order of my musical presentation sequence. In fact, this known 1st century Hymn to Christ spans 18 verses of the first chapter of the Gospel of John. My setting of the anthem is seven plus minutes long in performance length. The song's length was not on purpose, but the number seven does have Biblical significance (seven days of creation, seven golden lamp stands, etc.) The number seven is also known among Biblical scholars as the number of Holiness and Perfect Creation.  Since this rather long, yet theologically complete Hymn to Christ already existed in the 1st century, it is no wonder the Apostle John opted to begin his Gospel with it, probably quoting the entire text. Consequently, he converted this particular Hymn to Christ’s lyrics into what would later become canonized Scripture. The anthem is composed for SSATB with solo SSA trio, and Solo Soprano and Solo Baritone lines, accompanied by Flute and Bâ™­ Clarinet. The key signature of the anthem is Bâ™­ Major. However, a lot of time is spent weaving and bobbing around the Dominant chord, (F Major).  The Flute and Clarinet introduction play seven different motifs, interweaving with counterpoint, musically connoting the dual natures of Christ--fully God, and fully man. An SSA trio opens the piece recounting the creation story. A bass solo shortly follows, introducing John the baptizer's story and purpose. Soon, the anthem breaks out into full SSATB illustrating Christ's life and purpose for our salvation. The final coda is the great Doxology, sung in 5 parts, accompanied by the Flute and Clarinet, and the entire congregation (or audience) is invited to sing along with the familiar tune. 

Concert Band - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1445548 By Hart & Rodgers. By Lorenz Hart and Richard Rodgers. Arranged by John Ivor Holland. 20th Century,Broadway,Jazz,Latin,Musical/Show,Pop. 48 pages. John Ivor Holland #1025388. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1445548). My Funny Valentine was written for the 1937 Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart coming of age musical 'Babes in Arms'. The song became a popular jazz standard, appearing on over 1300 albums performed by over 600 artists. One of them was Chet Baker, for whom it became his signature song; in 2015 the Gerry Mulligan quartet's 1953 version of the song (featuring Chet Baker) was inducted into the Library of Congress's National Recording Registry for its cultural, artistic and/or historical significance to American society and the nation’s audio legacy. The description of the male character of Valentine in the show was consistent with Lorenz Hart's own insecurities and belief that he was too short and ugly to be loved; consequently, the lyrics are sufficiently gender-neutral to allow the song to be sung about a person of any gender. This concert band arrangement has been produced from the jazz ensemble version by Michael Sweeney, created in 1988.

Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quartet Clarinet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.891938 Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Stephen Davies. Baroque,Standards. 35 pages. Stephen Davies #5710977. Published by Stephen Davies (A0.891938). In Bach's own words ..... for the profit and use of musical youth desirous of learning, and especially for the pastime of those already skilled in this study....., we are literally invited by the great man himself, to enjoy playing his music in virtually any combination we like! The Clarinet Quartet is a fitting vehicle for these two pieces from The Well-Tempered Clavier Book 2, namely the Prelude No.1 and the Fugue No.22. The Prelude Completely different from the Prelude that opens Book 1, which is mainly broken chords, this opening Prelude to Book 2 features a continuously flowing sequence of melodic ideas. According to Levinson,  ...few pieces of traditional music are more purely processive as this. It develops without a break or pause, without arrivals of significance, from beginning to end.... Good to play as well!!                                          The Fugue The key of Bb Minor is a challenging mode for the Clarinet, coupled with the time signature of 3/2, this Fugue should prove interesting in rehearsal! The four voices are distributed throughout the parts, and at 101 bars, it is certainly one of Bach's longest, and definitely one of the most enjoyable to play, especially in a generous acoustic. Also available here in Wind Quartet and Saxophone Quartet flavours!!
