Violin Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1018936 Composed by Benjamin Harry Sajo. 20th Century,Contemporary. 5 pages. Benjamin Sajo #6072977. Published by Benjamin Sajo (A0.1018936). Fugue: Wear Pearls and Smile is, on the outset, a fast, rambunctious adventure for many voices playing at the same time. It was conceived as a pairing for the equally vivacious second symphony of Ludwig van Beethoven–his 250th birthday is this year–but can stand on its own as one of my hardest, most challenging works to cook up.This piece is dedicated to those forced to appear positive when internally they’re falling apart. The title is inspired by a quote that’s been with me for a while, Why is it that men can be bastards and women must wear pearls and smile? by Lynn Hecht Schafren, the celebrated American jurist famous for campaigning for gender equity in courts. I’m taking the quote out of its initial context, but the power of that quote, for me, exemplifies how hard it is to maintain a sense of emotional decorum and dignity when you’re authentically a hot mess. And what’s more of a musical hot mess than a fugue?There are two realities to this piece. I’ll quote Dmitri Shostakovich, from his autobiography: The rejoicing is forced, created under threat, […] It’s as if someone were beating you with a stick and saying, ‘Your business is rejoicing, your business is rejoicing,’ and you rise, shaky, and go marching off, muttering ‘Our business is rejoicing, our business is rejoicing.’ On the one hand, it is insincere happiness, cloying perhaps. But the other truth, I’ll quote Oscar Hammerstein II, from The King and I: While shivering in my shoes / I strike a careless pose / And whistle a happy tune / And no one ever knows, / I'm afraid. I forced myself, against all impulses of my current being, to forge happiness. This piece, with its origin being a mental puzzle (fugues are puzzles), it became a construct where I could lift myself up and regain a sense of purpose. Therefore, it is invented–out of a literal need to survive–pure, genuine happiness.Future Performances: If you are interested in performing this work, please e-mail me.ABOUT THE COMPOSER: Benjamin Sajo (b. 1988) is a Canadian composer of contemporary classical music, as well as an educator.

Instrumental Duet Cello,Double Bass,Instrumental Duet - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.800220 Composed by Erik Satie. Arranged by Samantha J Bramley - stringspirational@gmail.com. Romantic Period,Wedding. Score and parts. 10 pages. Samantha Bramley #6014499. Published by Samantha Bramley (A0.800220). Gymnopédie No. 1, by Erik Satie for ‘cello quartet plus continuo (‘cello or bass) This iconic piano piece is one of the most recognisable and widely used classical pieces in the popular repertoire. It is both beautifully simple and elegant making this arrangement accessible to ensembles of beginner/early intermediate standard. Each of the 4 'cello parts has a turn at the melody, and the very easy ‘continuo’ can be played by either ‘cello or double bass. All parts are written in bass clef and none go above 4th position making it perfect for student groups. I like to play it with all ‘cello parts muted (con sordini) but mutes are generally not used on double bass. If playing with both ‘cello 5 and bass, try sempre pizzicato in the bass part for an interesting effect. Note from the arranger: All my arrangements for 'cello quartet, quintet and sextet are conceived specifically with the range and technical capabilities of the 'cello in mind - no simple transpositions or re-orchestrations of string quartet scores. They are therefore both easily playable and enjoyable by any intermediate to advanced 'cello ensemble. Most parts do not go beyond 4th position, making them equally suitable for student, mixed ability groups or ‘cello choirs. A complete score and set of individual parts is included. I also specialise in string arrangements giving the ‘cello and viola a fair share of the limelight! Contact Samantha at stringspirational@gmail.com for more information.

A version may be made in which ambient drones selected for their soft, not harsh, drone-likequality accompany the pianist. The cell phone players may stand around the piano playing thedrones in the body of the instrument without touching any strings; the pianist will catch thedrone sounds ad libitum. These drones emerge from #10, and continue until #1.II. A microphone for the voice of the pianist should be used to capture the whispered “godown,� and “deeper�. The microphone should only capture the pianist’s voice and not thepiano itself.

Concert Band - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.503413 Composed by Christian Petzold. Arranged by John R. Daniels. Classical,Pop,Rock. Score and parts. 37 pages. John R. Daniels #115545. Published by John R. Daniels (A0.503413). Although often attributed to J. S. Bach, the Minuet in G major was actually written by Christian Petzold. This arrangement pays homage to the flavor of the original by using a traditional chamber wind quintet for the opening measures. Then it morphs into a lively pop version that employs alternate chords and modal settings, counter motion and counter-melodic elements, prepared fifths instead of the modern suspension, and an uplifting key change.  PLEASE NOTE - THE COVER PAGES AND CONDUCTOR'S SCORE ARE 8.5 X 14 INSTEAD OF 8.5 X 11.IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR ENSEMBLE TO GAIN MORE MEDIA EXPOSURE, please record your performance of this piece and email it to CustomMusic@Salt-Cellar-Creations.com.
