Concert Band - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.549996 Composed by Camille Saint-Saens. Arranged by James M. Guthrie. Romantic Period,Standards. 118 pages. Jmsgu3 #4366268. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.549996). Full-length arrangement for Concert Band. Instrumentation: 2 flutes, 1 oboe, 2 Bb clarinets, 1 bass clarinet, 2 alto saxes, 1 tenor sax, 1 baritone sax, 2 Bb trumpets, 2 horns in F, 2 tenor trombones, 1 tuba. Melodic percussion: xylophone (or marimba) chimes (or tubular bells). Percussion 1: snare drum, crash cymbals, gong. Percussion 2: bass drum, crash cymbals, gong.The significance of Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre lies in its representation of death as the great social equalizer and its association with Halloween and the macabre. Originally an art song for voice and piano, the piece was later expanded and reworked into a tone poem for violin and large orchestra, becoming one of Saint-Saëns' most famous works.Representation of Death: Danse Macabre was inspired by the French legend that Death plays the fiddle at midnight on Halloween, causing the skeletons in the cemetery to crawl out of their graves for a dance party. The theme of death as the great social equalizer, where no one can escape the dance with death, is depicted in the music and has inspired various paintings and art pieces.Composition and Reception: The piece is in the key of G minor and scored for an obbligato violin and an orchestra of various instruments.  When it was first performed in 1875, Danse Macabre received mixed reviews, with some critics expressing anxiety due to its dissonance, use of a xylophone, and hypnotic repetitions. However, it is now considered one of Saint-Saëns' masterpieces and is widely regarded and reproduced in high and popular culture.

Slep - Brass Band Hymn/Concert ItemPlaying level - B grade/2nd sectionParts for British Brass Band, and transposed options for Bass clef Trombone/Euphonium/Baritones and Horns in F. Slep was composed in 2021, in loving memory of Charlene, an elderly maltese dog who passed away in 2020.The word “slep� became a pet name for when Charlene would sleep, and thus the work is named after this very personal association to the word.This work begins and ends with a ostinato from the tubular bells and glock, highlighting a peaceful passing in and out of Dale’s life. From there, the music is full of passionate melodic lines, and fanfare statements. The music is dominated by the colour of the tenor horn section, which has the ability to create wonderful soft sounds, as well as providing the substance to the fortissimo fanfares. The central section of the work simmers down to a peaceful prayer, with acknowledgements to the musical work “I dreamed a dream� from Les Misérables.Thank you to everyone who performs this work, and a huge thank you to Dominic Longhurst, Brad Mancer, Bill Vail, and Sylvia Vail, for giving their time and talents to create the multi-tracked premiere of this work.www.dalevail.com.

Since its release the song won popular acclaim with many top music awards, including Commercial Radio 2 Ultimate Song Chart Awards, TVB Jade Solid Gold Top Ten Songs Music Awards and RTHK Top Ten Chinese Songs Music Awards. Ally's choral arrangement of this popular hit retained many original elements of the song, including the counter-melody in the closing section, and choral adaptation of the original arrangement. Interestingly, the four vocal parts in the choir never sing together homophonically in this arrangement, which appears to symbolize the fate of the persona who suffers bitterly from the ardently love, never able to get together with the beloved. 本編曲由香港中文大學�唱團（中大�唱團）委約改編。中文歌詞，粵語（廣�話）演唱。 This arrangement is commissioned by The Chinese University of Hong Kong Chorus (CU Chorus)。Lyrics in Chinese, sung in Cantonese .

Choral Choir (SSA) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1003298 Composed by Dennis Tobenski. Contemporary,Folk. Octavo. 12 pages. Dennis Tobenski #539737. Published by Dennis Tobenski (A0.1003298). Sunset: St. Louis for SSA choir and piano was written at the suggestion of a conductor I met at the 2013 American Choral Directors’ Association national conference in Dallas, TX. He lamented the lack of new music for SSA choir that kept the voices within a restricted range yet wasn’t simplistic, and also didn’t use a restricitve number of accompanying instruments; throughout the week his sentiment was echoed by countless other conductors who I had the pleasure of spending time with. At that point, I also had no music for treble/women’s choir in my catalog, so this piece is not only an attempt to fill in this hole in the repertoire, but also an attempt to fill in the hole in my own choral output. The piece opens with a short passage for solo piano evocative of late afternoon light on water which leads into the voices’ hazy entrance of close diatonic harmonies and loose, liquid rhythms. After this soft opening, the piano begins a gently undulating, water-like accompaniment that – like the Mississippi – flows by, bringing harmonic shifts and swells. The words Dream by the river captured my imagination, conjuring images of the city drifting to sleep as the sun sets, so I couldn’t resist making the single word Dream into a refrain, weaving it into the larger structure of the poem, which makes the piece not only a love song to the city, but also a lullaby. The vocal parts have a compressed range: Soprano 1 has a few unsustained Gs, and the Alto line never drops below B-flat. There are some minor challenges with rhythm and pitch (hemiolas, tuplets, and some harmonic cross-relations with the piano), but all are navigable. The piece was written and prepared for publication in a compositional frenzy between 1pm on March 30, 2013 and 7pm on March 31, 2013 in Montauk, NY.Duration: ca. 4 min.

Brass Quintet Baritone Horn TC,Bass Trombone,Cornet,Euphonium,Flugelhorn,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1351992 Composed by Sergei Prokofiev. Arranged by Rob Bushnell. 20th Century,Classical,Film/TV,March,Opera. 21 pages. RBMusic #936821. Published by RBMusic (A0.1351992). In 1918, Sergei Prokofiev undertook his first visit to the United States. A number of concerts of his works were held in Chicago, which were received very favourably. As a result, the director of the Chicago Opera Association, Cleofonte Campanini, commissioned Prokofiev to write an opera. It just so happened that, during his trip, he had written a draft of a libretto, based on the Italian play by Gozzi L'amore delle tre melarance, adding some additional Surrealism to the text. Given Prokofiev’s poor English, and American’s unlikely to accept an opera in Russian, French was his final choice. The result, L'amour des trois oranges (or The Love for Three Oranges), which premiered at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago on 30 December 1921, conducted by Prokofiev himself.The March from this opera is probably the most familiar part and has been used by CBS in the radio-drama series The FBI in Peace and War. It was also used in films such as The Brink's Job and Prokofiev quoted it in the second act of his ballet Cinderella.This arrangement includes alternative parts for tenor horn, treble-clef trombone/euphonium and tuba. A recording of the original can be found on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obTZBHAuOqY.
