Published by HAL C THOMAS (A0.1294979). This scary Latin American folk song is perfect for Halloween!  And, with both Spanish and English lyrics, it’s a great tune, in both musical style and dramatic narrative,  for students.  I advise using it only for high school age and older singers, however, due to the story it tells of the selfish and deadly Llorona’s history. The audio samples are from the very beginning of the arrangement and the closing.

Accordion,Bass Voice,Clarinet,Drum Set,Piano,Tenor Saxophone,Trombone,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.734382 Composed by Terry Rendall and Werner Thomas. Arranged by Dennis Ruello. 20th Century,Comedy,Contemporary,Pop,Traditional. 14 pages. Chicory Music #3580587. Published by Chicory Music (A0.734382). The Chicken Dance, also known as the Bird Song, the Birdie Song or the Chicken Song, is an oom-pah song and its associated fad dance is now a contemporary dance throughout the Western world. The song was composed by accordion player Werner Thomas from Davos, Switzerland, in the 1950s.The name of the original Swiss song was Der Ententanz (The Duck Dance). It is rumored to be a drinking song sung at Oktoberfest. Sometime in the late 1970s, the song acquired the name Vogeltanz (The Bird Dance) or Vogerltanz (Little Bird Dance or Birdie Dance), although these names never caught on seriously in Germany. On some sheet music and recordings it is called Dance Little Bird. It appears that no one in Germany uses the term Kükentanz or Huhn/Hühnertanz (Küken means chick, Huhn/Hühner means chicken (sg./pl.)). Since 1963, Werner Thomas had played it in restaurants and hotels. During one of Thomas' performances, Belgian producer Louis van Rijmenant heard the song. Van Rijmenant had some lyrics created and in 1970 released it to the public through his publishing company Intervox Music (later on co-publishing with his other company Eurovox Music) without much success. However, on subsequent releases of the song, Van Rijmenant was listed as co-author under the pen name of Terry Rendall. Eurovox Music now manages the publishing rights worldwide, except for the US (September Music), UK (Valentine Music) and the Netherlands (Benelux Music), sub-publishers. The dance and song was originally brought from Germany to the US by Eddie Duling and Larry Karhoff of Glandorf, Ohio in 1974. This arrangement includes: Full Score, Vocal (Opt.), Clarinet, Tenor Sax, Trumpet, Trombone, Piano/Accordion, Tuba, Acoustic Bass (Tuba sub.) and Drum Set.

Published by Thomas Quigley (A0.731884). A soothing, comforting and tranquil atmosphere is created in this string arrangement. It is mainly simple but requires good technique in some passages. Due to the slow tempo however it should be accessible for most school string orchestras. In the 3rd verse there is a slight decoration of the melody with a sublime ending using effective tremolo strings and a few jazz chords.This wonderful piece is a worthwhile addition to the string repertoire. .

Euphonium,Piano - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.916590 Composed by Christian L. Thomas. Contemporary. Score and part. 49 pages. C. L. Thomas Music #6380911. Published by C. L. Thomas Music (A0.916590). Two Dances for Euphonium and Piano expresses the two rather diverse characters of my little sister.A graceful and amiable character is depicted in Kim’s Waltz. From long, sweeping melodies to interplay between the piano and the euphonium, the piece creates a feeling of content… especially after the odd quirks in the music that give the piece, my sister as well, a light comical twist.The Circus One Step, however, shows a completely unpredictable and adventurous character with quite the colorful imagination. With her short attention span and her interesting ideas, the constantly shifting tonality or the interesting resolutions act accordingly. The form gives a little bit of predictability but even then, you never get what you expect the first time around… or the second.

Published by Thomas Sweeper (A0.961906). Clap Clap is a body percussion piece for small or large ensembles. All of the parts use solely hand claps throughout, however dynamics and accents should be observed in the performance. This piece uses 6 parts, all of which can be doubled by as many players as necessary. Great for something a little different in any program, Clap Clap encourages independence and ensemble playing, and challenges players with sudden time signature and feel changes. Try adding some theatrical flair to enhance a performance! Note: The sample recording uses various percussion sounds to make each of the 6 parts clearly distinct. All parts should be hand claps in a performance.

Thomas Quigley #3396701. Published by Thomas Quigley (A0.731828). This popular Irish traditional children's song is skillfully arranged, with dramatic dynamic changes, syncopated rhythms and a slightly percussive piano accompaniment.

A very simple, gentle accompaniment with a wide variety of comforting chords, supports and enhances the delicacy of this sublime Welsh traditional lullaby.
