Thanks, John. Stranger on the Shore is a piece for clarinet written by Acker Bilk for his young daughter and originally named Jenny after her. The tune was written on a single scrap of paper by Bilk and handed over to Leon Young (1916-1991) who crafted the string arrangement, including the characteristic harmonic shifts at the very end. In May 1969, the crew of Apollo 10 took Stranger on the Shore on their mission to the moon. Gene Cernan, a member of the crew, included the tune on a cassette tape used in the command module of the Apollo spacecraft. On 26 May 1962, Stranger on the Shore became the first British recording to reach number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

Brass Ensemble Trombone,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.734616 Composed by Eliot Daniel. Arranged by Dennis Ruello. Contemporary. Score and parts. 10 pages. Chicory Music #6672993. Published by Chicory Music (A0.734616). On October 15, 1951, the very first episode of the I Love Lucy show aired on CBS and became the most watched TV show in the U.S. for four of its seven-year run. Fun trivia about the opening theme song is that during the first season the show opened with their sponsor Philip Morris’ animation of stick figure cartoons of Lucy and Desi climbing down a pack of Philip Morris cigarettes. It was scored with Ferde Grofé’s Jr. The Grand Canyon Suite theme (a composition from 1931).From the second season onwards, the I Love Lucy signature tune we all know so well became the main theme, and one of the most recognizable pieces of music on the planet. It was written by composer Eliot Daniel who cranked it out in an afternoon as a favor to his old Coast Guard buddy Jess Oppenheimer, the show’s producer. Since Daniel still had another year under his exclusive contract to Fox, he asked Oppenheimer to keep his name out of it. Consequently his name does not appear on first or the second season TV credits for what became one of the most popular TV themes. Later, Daniel did seek credit and received royalties from syndicated reruns for the rest of his life.The lyrics were written by Harold Adamson for an episode in the third season in which Lucy believes everyone has forgotten her birthday. So of course Ricky saves the day after a near disaster.This arrangement for Brass Quartet plus optional Acoustic Bass and Drum Set parts remains faithful to the original.Performance Time Approx. 1 minute 25 seconds

This edition: choral score. Downloadable, Choral score. Schott Music - Digital #Q25023. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q25023). German.Albrecht Haaf ging bereits mehrfach als Preisträger aus verschiedensten Kompositionswettbewerben hervor. So auch mit seinem geistlichen Chorwerk Herr, Herr, lehre uns! für gemischten Chor (SSATB), Orgel und zwei Schlagzeuger, für das er 2012 mit dem Carl von Ossietzky-Kompositionspreis der Universität Oldenburg ausgezeichnet wurde. Der Untertitel lautet „Variation über Psalm 150. Variation deshalb, weil im Anschluss an den wörtlich dem Bibeltext entnommenen Lobpreis Gottes die „Unlöblichkeit des Menschen Werk in ihrer unterschiedlichsten Ausprägung auf musikalisch und textlich drastische Weise angeprangert wird. Haaf, der dieses aufrüttelnde Textarrangement selbst verfasste, bedient sich dafür kompositorisch zahlreicher Taktwechsel und Clustertechniken und nutzt meisterhaft das Spiel mit verschiedenen Klangfarben. Dieses Werk stellt nicht nur an den Organisten und die beiden Schlagzeuger, die u.a. vier Röhrenglocken, drei Tomtoms, Pauken und Triangel zu bedienen haben, hohe Anforderungen. Auch die fünfstimmige Chorpartie dieses unter die Haut gehenden Stücks ist als „schwer bis mittelschwer einzuordnen. Doch der Aufwand lohnt sich… versprochen!
