Digital Download SKU: H1.9135DP Instrumental parts. 595 pages. Hope Publishing - Digital #9135DP. Published by Hope Publishing - Digital (H1.9135DP). Joel Raney.AVAILABLE NOW! This gospel-flavored musical reflects on the promise of peace delivered by the angels on the night of Jesus' birth. An original composition, Love Is Born is used as musical bookends: its theme is briefly stated in the second movement and then returns in full-blown gospel style at the end to provide an emotion filled climax. In between, the Christmas story is told through scriptural narration and familiar carols set in a variety of styles ranging from jazz to gospel to calypso. Accompaniment can be provided by piano, full orchestra, or a smaller set of rhythm parts, arranged by Ed Hogan. Performance time is 35 minutes.

Their manager advised them to take a short break from their work and go to a movie theater to see the film. Richard and Karen were immediately taken with this song and agreed that it should be the follow-up to their previous hits. After returning home, they recorded it, released it in December, and it went gold in only two months. The Carpenters' success with this song helped it win the 1970 Oscar for Best Song.

Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1278125 By Judith Vander Wege. By Judith Vander Wege. Arranged by Judith Vander Wege. A Cappella,Children,Christian,Christmas,Praise & Worship. Score. 3 pages. Spokesman Ink #869821. Published by Spokesman Ink (A0.1278125). This song is from the Wise Men's point of view (Matthew 2:1-12). They see the special star and remember scripture that predicts it.  They believe this star points to a King that will set the world free from sin. They decide to follow the star hoping it will lead them to the one they are longing for.This song and Let's Go and see the Baby could both be used as part of a Christmas pageant put on by elementary age children. I have written a skit that could go with it. If you want it, contact me at judith.vw.4hm@gmail.com.Another song I wrote, In the Fullness of Time could also be used in the same pageant, sung by a praise team or adult ensemble.

Guitar - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1486675 By Foo Fighters. By David Grohl. Arranged by Brian Streckfus. Contemporary,Pop,Rock. Chords/Lyrics. 2 pages. Brian Streckfus #1063740. Published by Brian Streckfus (A0.1486675). Key: B minorPages: 2The aim of this version was not historical accuracy. The aim was to create a great solo unplugged coffee-house version with no page turns, though it could still be really useful for any situation. The melody is left intact, some liberties with the harmonies were taken when there is singing. I'm very proud and happy with how it turned out, sometimes you get lucky and the sections fall perfectly into place (which is suprising since there are some odd 3 measure phrases in here). Features:1. Beginner friendly. The chords are so accurate to what the sheet music is doing, that you don't even really need to read sheet music to play this!2. Harmonies that take difficulty, style, voice leading, and melody into consideration3. Condensed lead sheet version that fits on 2 pages to avoid a page turn; yet it is packed with details and naunces.4. Beautifully engraved sections that visually make sense on the page.Tips:1. Measures 8-16 I named that chords as if both guitars were taken into consideration. I'm guilty of sometimes saying, Oh it's just a rock song with power chords, but then you look into the details, and the chords are actually quite jazzy.2. Maybe She sang needs a fermata?3. If a song is in B minor and never changes key, fret 1 will never happens! Be in position 2 for this song! That's why I didn't put fingerings in, they would have been as helpful as confusing.4. Maybe it's a given, but I recommend forcing melody notes on to the chord in one way or another. Sometimes I go on spurts of notating many complex chords to account for the melody, other times I just show one chord per measure but kind of assume that you'll make the guitar work more fancy with the melody notes. Maybe this is overthinking the arrangement, but there is great voicings I'm doing that I want to get across, but sometimes I won't do it because the score will get too busy looking. Just food for thought, depends on your agenda I suppose.

Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quintet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.946919 Composed by JP Wogaman II. 20th Century,Contemporary. 27 pages. JP Wogaman II #6209917. Published by JP Wogaman II (A0.946919). This piece is actually my first film score. It accompanied an animation, but unfortunately, the original artist has made the animation no longer available. The story is still powerful, and the message is still just as relevant. Two young foster children, brother and sister, go from the sadness and fear of being without parents, to the joy of finding a home with a loving family, all while doing their best to hang onto hope and onto each other. For these two young children, I can only imagine it feeling like the end of the world, and not an experience they could possibly grow from. However, this story is a true story, and it is the animator's story. And look where she ended up! A student at the University of Michigan that has since gone on to work for major companies such as Nickelodeon and even NASA. As an artist, I respect her decision to not continue sharing her animation, and I am so unbelievably grateful and humbled to have had the honor of writing the score to her story when I had the chance.More arrangements and originals by JP Wogaman II can be found at www.wogamusic.com

Instrumental Duet Instrumental Duet,Ukulele,Voice - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.969030 Composed by Irving Kahal and Sammy Fain. Arranged by Art Levine. Contemporary. Score and parts. 3 pages. Art levine music #6016203. Published by art levine music (A0.969030). Famous song by Sammy Fain & Irving Kahal (pronounced like the leafy vegetable!) from 1938. You can almost feel the war at the door. The original verse lyrics: Cathedral bells were tolling, and our hearts sang on / Was it the spell of Paris, or the April dawn? / Who knows when we shall meet again / But when the morning chimes ring sweet again … I decided to make up my own covid-19 words for the verse, but if you long for the magic of the original, go for it. If you’re interested in my chord-melody arrangement for uke (one of about 350), it’s available (with the lyrics, natch) at Sheet Music Plus. Stay healthy, and stay away from germs. I’ll be seeing you, hahaha.
