Brass Ensemble Horn,Trombone,Trumpet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.766981 Composed by Bob Delfausse. Concert,Jazz. Score and parts. 17 pages. Robert Delfausse #5322693. Published by Robert Delfausse (A0.766981). Bugs Bower composed several volumes of Bop Duets.  Like so many other jazz musicians, my roommate and I spent countless hours playing through the volume we had, him on tenor sax and me on trumpet.  Playing them is a masterclass in jazz phrasing, and studying them is a masterclass in the classic principles of counterpoint.  It's a little bit like a Bach fugue.  You start with a short catchy theme, and then let it go where it wants to go, but always building on that theme.  I allowed myself a third voice here, which allow a little more richness.  See also my Sundry Quartet, which adds a fourth instrument to the same basic music.  Level: advanced intermediate.  Duration: 3 minutes, 12 seconds.

Nefarious Music Publications #4410775. Published by Nefarious Music Publications (A0.875871). A quiet Place was written in 1967 but it was the 1988 recording, by American a cappella group, Take 6, that has gone on to become the most well loved version. This arrangment for four trombones (or three trombones and tuba) is based on that recording.In order to bring this beautiful setting of Ralph Carmichael's music & lyrics to life, sensitive phrasing and legato playing is paramount. A very strong upper register is required for parts 1 & 2 This quartet is scored for three tenors and bass trombone. Treble clef B flat parts and a treble clef E flat tuba transposition of part 4 are included for brass bands and alternative parts 1 and 2 in tenor clef are available.There is a quiet placeFar from the rapid paceWhere God can soothe my troubled mindSheltered by tree and flowerThere in my quiet hourWith Him my cares are left behindWhether a garden smallOr on a mountain tallNew strength and courage there I find Then from this quiet placeI go prepared to faceA new day with love for all mankindDifficulty Rating : advanced plus

String Quartet String Quartet - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1014185 Composed by Paul Emil Levasseur. 20th Century,Contemporary,Folk. Score and parts. 46 pages. Paul Emil Levasseur #1987525. Published by Paul Emil Levasseur (A0.1014185). 'Journey' is a c.a. 12 minute work for String Quartet. The piece begins with an adagio melody which weaves into elegant counterpoint. The adagio opening is juxtaposed by a scherzo with a folk style melody and bouncing, changing rhythms. The two musical ideas collide and combine in the conclusion of the work! I began this piece in the beginning of my D.M.A. in composition when studying with Christos Hatzis. The material for this project has steeped in my mind for 5 years with over 100 drafts and rewrites to date. It really represents a period of struggle in my development as an artist. During this time I was trying to reconcile the struggle between my knowledge of composition and theory with my muse. The difference between putting notes together and creating art is an interesting one and this was something I had to come to terms with. After my 2nd year of study, I put this project on the shelf and carried on with other pieces. I didn't pull it out again until last Dec where there was a short pause in my workload with freelancing. I kept the material I wanted and just 'listened' to where the music wanted to go. Somehow the pieces came together and it worked to create a cohesive whole with a strong musical narrative. I'm very pleased with the result. The piece has not been performed yet but I have included a midi mockup to aide with score reading the piece.
