Instrumental Solo,Saxophone - Level 5 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.1202307

Composed by Brandon Nelson. 20th Century,Chamber,Christian,Classical,Contemporary. Individual part. 11 pages. Brandon Nelson #800991. Published by Brandon Nelson (A0.1202307).

Dr. Brian Kauth assembled a consortium of saxophone players to commission me to write a piece in four 
movements, each to be for a different member of the saxophone family(soprano, alto, tenor, baritone). He 
chose the theme of the “four horsemen of the apocalypse†because, as he puts it, “the saxophone was long 
considered ‘the devil’s instrument’due to the seedy and sultry qualities associated with it.â€

Program
The story of the Four Horsemen comes from the biblical Book of Revelation. Each of the Horsemen is said to 
represent events that are supposed to usher in the Apocalypse, the final battle between good and evil. As with 
many biblical passages, there are numerous interpretations of this account debated among theologians. Those 
that I’ve taken in thispiece are strictly based on my own aesthetic requirements and should not be construed 
as taking any particular sides in these spiritual debates.

The Four Horsemen symbolize the evils to come before the end of the world. It is said that a quarter of the 
world’s population is to be wiped out by a combination of these ills. The Horsemen pave the way for the final
battle, the final judgement, and the Second Coming.

The account begins with the White Horsemen, symbolizing pestilence. Next comes the Red Horse, 
representing war. Then the Black Horse, bringing widespread famine, especially against the poor of the world.
Finally, the Pallid Horse, the personification of Death, reaping his reward in the victims of the tribulations.

Performance Note
Each movement is assigned a different member of the saxophone family. Ideally it should be performed as 
such. However, if you do not have access to all four saxes, you may perform the movements on the sax or 
saxesof your choosing. The movements are written such that they will sound satisfactory on any of the saxes.

Choral Choir (4-Part) - Level 3 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.882467

Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by Matthijs van der Moolen. Christian,Classical,Contemporary,Romantic Period. Octavo. 18 pages. Matthijs van der Moolen #566711. Published by Matthijs van der Moolen (A0.882467).

These ‘Three Equali’ are amongst the few pieces that were written for trombone ensemble by a well- known composer, and therefor they are very important pieces for the trombone repertoire. This particular edition is different from the ones that most trombone players know. First of all, it contains a score for male choir. And secondly, it is transposed a major second down. The reason for this is that the original version is too high for the male voices. The version for male choir was added to the first and the last movement by Ignaz Seyfried, a friend of Beethoven. To make the words fit to the music, he had to be quite free with interpreting the rhythmical structure that Beethoven composed. It is debatable if the vocal and instrumental version should be performed all together or alternating with each other. According to the notes about Beethoven’s funeral (where the first and last movement were performed), the voices and instruments were alternating during this performance. The second movement was performed on a later moment, but the link between the instrumental version (with text by Frans Grillparzer) was not made. I have taken the freedom to put these two together in this score, and transposed it one major second down to make it fit smoothly in between the other two movements. The first and last movement also contained a text in Latin, but since the second movement was only available in German, I also used the German texts for the other movements.

SKU: A0.834008

Composed by Claude Debussy. Arranged by BRIAN W. COPPING. Ragtime,Romantic Period,Standards. 14 pages. EMK Music #28853. Published by EMK Music (A0.834008).

Before he died in 1918, Debussy had been planning to visit the USA. However, it is probable that he became familiar with the syncopated rhythms of ‘Ragtime’ and of the ‘Cakewalk’, used in Le Petit Negre, through the music of Scott Joplin. Le Petit Negre is taken from Debussy’s ‘Children’s Corner’ , a collection of pieces for Piano that he dedicated to his daughter, Claude-Emma, after her death at the age of fourteen. Debussy used language that was in common usage at the time, but some of his titles, including this one, now sound unavoidably racist. In addition to syncopation, Debussy also uses other techniques in this piece that have been adopted by jazz musicians, for example, pentatonic scales and chromaticism.
