Small Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1195919 Composed by Annemieke Lustenhouwer. Contemporary. Score and parts. 80 pages. Annemieke Lustenhouwer #795094. Published by Annemieke Lustenhouwer (A0.1195919). What happens when you close your eyes and you see yourself standing next to Mother Mary when Jesus dies? What do you see and what do you feel? That was what I’ve been asking myself for years when I read the text Stabat Mater. This composition tells about this experience and this questions. Sometimes a motif tells quite literally about this story, like the moment when Jesus is nailed down the cross: first the right hand, then the left hand and finaly with one nail both feet. In the first part of the composition, the viola tells with sforzato accents about this.This Stabat Mater is not only an expression of the pain of the Virgin Mother, but is also a tribute to JS Bach as well. Bach is by some seen as a fith evangelist. Nowadays there are still a lot of people who are affected by how his music tells about biblical stories, like I am. In this Stabat Mater I use the number 5 to express that: the first part is written in 5/4th and the last part Quando corpus et Amen is written with 5 parts in the choir. There can also be found a reworked choral in the choir passages of  O quam tristis et afflicta. It is the choral Wie nahe mir mein Ende from BWV 166.Polyfony is a returning presence in this Stabat Mater. I had an visual idea about this. When I was young I saw in an exhibition a tapestry with all kinds of colours and threads, and everything felt in motion. It was a kind of organized mess, but it was beautiful and felt perfect. I wondered if I could manage to express this idea in music as well. Under one of the polyphonic passages there is a Latin-American dance rhythm to express that motion. I heard that rhythm in my childhood in a rhythmbox of the keyboard of my dad. Another passage has the baroque sarabande-rhythme underneath in the double bass.A lullaby-feeling in some parts of the Stabat Mater tells about another story that got intertwined with this composition. It’s the story of a mother who rocks her terminal dying little son in her arms. I once read that story and it felt connected with the Stabat Mater text for a long time. I decided to express that as well.This composition is dedicated to the Dutch conductor Geert van den Dungen. However I saw many conductors, while playing the oboe and clarinet from a young age, there was nobody who let me think very deeply about music. Geert was the one who changed that for me. I started to study scores and developed a great interest in music analysis and music psychology. Many moments of inspiration and understanding for this Stabat Mater happened on choir rehearsals and concerts where Geert was working. I am very grateful for that.String parts only, see for conductors/ choir score Sheet Music plus and Sheet music direct.

Kevin Riley #864843. Published by Kevin Riley (A0.1272619). Unchained Melody is a 1955 song with music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret. North wrote the music as a theme for the prison film Unchained (1955), hence the song title. Todd Duncan sang the vocals for the film soundtrack. It has since become a standard and one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by the Righteous Brothers in 1965. According to the song's publishing administrator, over 1,500 recordings of Unchained Melody have been made by more than 670 artists, in multiple languages.In 1955, three versions of the song (by Les Baxter, Al Hibbler, and Roy Hamilton) charted in the Billboard top 10 in the United States, and four versions (by Al Hibbler, Les Baxter, Jimmy Young, and Liberace) appeared in the top 20 in the United Kingdom simultaneously, a record for any song.The song continued to chart in the 21st century, and it was the only song to reach number one with four different recordings in the United Kingdom until it was joined by Band Aid 30's Do They Know It's Christmas? in 2014.Of the hundreds of recordings made, the Righteous Brothers' version, with a solo by Bobby Hatfield, became the jukebox standard after its release. Hatfield changed the melody in the final verse and many subsequent covers of the song are based on his version. The Righteous Brothers recording achieved a second round of great popularity when featured in the film Ghost in 1990. In 2004, it was number 27 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.

SATB choir and organ - Moderately Easy - Digital Download SKU: MQ.8456-E Composed by David Hurd. Building Dedication, African American Heritage, New Year, Wedding. 15 pages. Duration 3 minutes, 20 seconds. E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital #8456-E. Published by E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital (MQ.8456-E). English. Psalms 100.This anthem was commissioned by Dorothy Yates to mark the 50th anniversary of St. Dunstan’s Episcopal Church, Atlanta, Georgia. The text is announced by a brief fanfare on the organ. The raised 4th scale degree of the opening theme suggests the Lydian mode and accentuates the music’s upward thrust. Following the opening fanfare, the setting passes back and forth between duple and triple meter several times. Triple and duple rhythmic elements occur simultaneously and play off of one another. In the anthem’s middle section, the rhythmic energy of the opening is exchanged for a gentle extended crescendo as voices alternately sing their four-note, stepwise, rising lines over sustained organ chords. Then, the more energetic and somewhat metrically ambiguous elements of the previous section return. Finally, the text and music heard at the anthem’s opening recur in the manner of an antiphon. Duration: 3:20.

SKU: M2.MOS-91043 Hofkapellmeister und Komponist zwischen Renaissance und Barock. Composed by Siegfried Vogelsanger. Möseler Verlag #MOS 91043. Published by Möseler Verlag (M2.MOS-91043). ISBN 9783787730438.Die Lebenszeit von Michael Praetorius fallt in jene Jahrzehnte um 1600, die zu den spannendsten in der Musikgeschichte uberhaupt gehoren: Ende der Vokalpolyphonie und Beginn der generalbassgestutzten Barockmusik, Herausbildung der Mehrchorigkeit und des konzertierenden Stils, Entstehung von Monodie und Oper. Der stets neugierige und umtriebige Praetorius war nicht nur Augen- und Ohrenzeuge dieses gravierenden stilistischen Umbruchs, sondern auch der bedeutendste Musik-Enzyklopadist seiner Zeit. Neben dem autodidaktischen Studium aktueller Musikdrucke (Claudio Monteverdis Marienvesper etwa war ihm wohlbekannt), bezog Praetorius sein umfassendes Wissen aus zahlreichen Reisen im Auftrag oder im Gefolge des Wolfenbutteler Herzogs. Diese fuhrten ihn vor allem auch nach Prag, wo er am kaiserlichen Hof wichtige Kontakte zu fuhrenden Musikern knupfen konnte. So lernte Praetorius, obgleich er Norditalien nie besucht hat, den neuen italienischen Stil in allen Auspragungen kennen und stand ihm sehr aufgeschlossen gegenuber. Prag wurde sein Venedig, um es mit Siegfried Vogelsanger zu sagen. Das kompositorische Werk zeigt eindrucksvoll, wie eigenwertig und kunstvoll Praetorius mit dem stile nuovo umzugehen vermochte. Leider hat sich die Musikforschung mit Michael Praetorius nicht annahernd soviel befasst, wie mit seinem Zeitgenossen Heinrich Schutz. So blieben der musikhistorische Rang und vor allem die kompositorische Substanz des Wolfenbutteler Hofkapellmeisters bis heute unterbewertet. Um so verdienstvoller ist daher diese Monographie des in Wolfenbuttel ansassigen Praetorius-Forschers Siegfried Vogelsanger. Das unter Mitarbeit von Winfried Elsner aufschlussreich bebilderte Buch liefert bei einem uberschaubaren Gesamtumfang ein ausgezeichnetes Resumee des aktuellen Forschungsstandes und bietet somit die solide Basis fur weiterfuhrende Studien. Der in allgemeinverstandlicher Form abgefasste Text kann auf der Grundlage solider wissenschaftlicher Quellen sowohl dem Musikliebhaber als auch dem Musikstudierenden als reiches Kompendium dienen, sich uber Leben und Werk von Michael Praetorius zu informieren.

Tu vuo fa l’Americano (You want to be American) is a hit single by the Neapolitan Italian singer Renato Carosone from 1956.
