Saxophone Quintet,Woodwind Ensemble Alto Saxophone - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.813062 Composed by Traditional French Melodies. Arranged by Regis Bookshar. Christmas,Classical,Instructional,Multicultural,Standards,World. 22 pages. Regis Bookshar #6095931. Published by Regis Bookshar (A0.813062). Alto Saxophone Quintet - Intermediate - Digital Download. This selection, Burgundian Air/March of the Three Kings, has been arranged for 5 Alto Saxophones by Regis Bookshar. It incorporates two Traditional French melodies into one exciting arrangement, which, I'm certain, will entertain both performers and audiences alike. It is suitable for high school and college students and is perfect for Christmas concerts and church services but could be performed anytime and anywhere. Included are a score and a complete set of parts (22 pages). It begins with a Burgundian Air, played by a solo instrument. The melody is then played by two instruments in harmony before the rest of the ensemble joins in. This is followed by the March of the Three Kings, a Provencal melody (La Marche Des Rois Mages) which dates from the 13th century and recalls the Three Kings of the Christmas story. The peasants probably sang and danced to this tune, even perhaps honoring their own folk heroes, the French dukes, dressed in their shining armor and carrying brilliant banners, as they marched off to the Crusades. Georges Bizet utilized this tune as a farandole, or stately dance, in his incidental music for Alphonse Daudet's play L'Arlesienne (The Girl from Arles). There is a fugal section in which each instrument enters, playing an embellished version of the tune before concluding the arrangement. Also available are other settings of these two Traditional French melodies for a variety of instrumental ensembles as well as numerous other arrangements in a variety of styles. Please feel free to search for other arrangements by Regis Bookshar. You may find something else which might interest you as well. I'm certain that students will enjoy playing this arrangement.

Concert Band - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.866235 Composed by Jeffrey Ouper. Arranged by Jeffrey Ouper. 20th Century,Christmas,Contemporary. Score and parts. 51 pages. Jeffrey Ouper #6709461. Published by Jeffrey Ouper (A0.866235). **This is the complete set of parts in LETTER format, the score in LEGAL size is a separate download.  NOTES: This setting of the Holly & the Ivy Christmas carol is depicted musically as a walk through the woods. Listeners will hear the sound of a woodpecker, dove, and the rustling and shivering of animals in trilling winds amidst chilling harmonies. Following the statement of the carol theme in brass echoed by glockenspiel, a beautiful snowfall enhances this musical winter scene.  PERFORMANCE NOTES: An inexpensive plastic dove bird call can easily be obtained at a sporting goods store, and these work quite well. If needed, it can be amplified from a speaker placed in the back with the percussion setup. A synthesized harp part played by a keyboard is included with glissandos written out & cues are provided in complete absence of the harp or synthesizer. English Horn & Double Bass can be omitted and aren’t integral to the piece.  Probably a grade 4 piece.  Roughly 3 mins in duration.    .

Children,Classical,Folk,Romantic Period,Standards. 105 pages. Lillwy Publishing #4780813. Published by Lillwy Publishing (A0.877932). Beginners will have a blast with these ensemble arrangements leveled to correlate with popular flute method books! Each part is correlated with a specific lesson in the Flute 101 and Blocki Methods. Creating an ensemble for your beginning flute students is one of the best things you can do for them; intonation, phrasing, and dynamics are all more effectively taught when reinforced through ensemble work. Since these are multi-level ensembles, your students will quickly find role models within your studio who are playing at a higher level, increasing motivation to practice so they can play the harder parts the next time!   *Please note that these arrangements correlate with method books meant for private lessons, which typically begin with the notes B, A, and G, rather than band methods, which start students with less beginner-friendly flute notes.Collection ACollection A includes two trios, two quartets, and one trio with a split first part. The pieces work well together if you are looking for a great concert program. They are presented here roughly in ascending order of difficulty.As a special bonus, extra parts for alto flute, bass flute, Bb instruments, Eb instruments, French Horn, and Bass clef instruments are included for The Water Is Wide and the William Tell Overture if you would like to expand your ensembleIncluded in Collection ARobins' DanceLullabyThe Water Is WideBare BranchesThe William Tell Overture

Easy Piano - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.984712 Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by John M. Honeycutt. Instructional,Romantic Period,World. Score. 16 pages. Music Innovators Workshop #4357657. Published by Music Innovators Workshop (A0.984712). This is a demo of the Ode to Joy theme in all 13 major keys. Each page contains a 2-voice arrangement of the first 8 measures of the piece in a different key. This unit demonstrates how easily one can play in any key, when the music is notated on a key map tablature.This piece is notated on a vertically oriented tablature called a key map. Key maps are intended to SHOW you (visually) which keys to play by matching (mapping) the locations of the keys on the keyboard. >>> The group of 12 keys from Middle C up to B form what we call the green Octave Group. (There are 7 of these identical groups on the piano distinguished by their colors and locations.) The key map staff is based on an octave group of the keyboard. For each key map octave group, the 5 vertical lines of the staff stand for the 5 matching black KEYS. >>> Staff lines ARE SPACED to match the horizontal spacing of the black keys on the keyboard The notes for black keys are placed ON these staff lines. The notes for the white keys are placed BETWEEN the lines. >>> The notes of a key map move to the left and right to indicate change in PITCH and down the page to indicate the passing of TIME (rhythm). The vertical length of each note is proportional to the time (in beats) that the sound requires.

Piano Solo - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.719721 Composed by Various. Arranged by Curtis Hanson. Sacred. Score. 7 pages. Curtis Hanson #4357395. Published by Curtis Hanson (A0.719721). As years come and go, one increasingly recalls memories of earlier times. One of the most vivid and cherished memories I have while growing up is of Sunday mornings, going to church, sitting in the same pew each week with my grandmother, hearing and singing the beautiful hymns of our faith, and then returning home to the aroma of beef slowly roasting in the oven. My father directed the church choir, my mother and older brothers sang in the choir, so the wonderful music of our faith was instilled in me from an early age. This medley, and others in the series, are arrangements of many of my favorite hymns from those early years, many of which have been lost in more recent editions. A caveat: I have no delusions, and offer no pretenses, that these settings are great art. They are simply expressions of faith which I hope may bring a small measure of joy and comfort to other technically challenged yet serviceable pianists such as myself. The general concept of each medley is to present the hymn, often in its original chorale form, and then vary its harmony or texture. The hymns in this set include Holy, Holy Holy, For All the Saints, and A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.
