Choral Choir,Choral (SATB divisi) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1307163 Composed by Jay Dougherty and Justin La. 21st Century,Contemporary. 37 pages. Jay Dougherty #896417. Published by Jay Dougherty (A0.1307163). Phoenix Cantata is a six-movement vocal and piano work that explores the themes of resilience and the transformative power of change. The music and lyrics are the creative work of Dr. Jay Dougherty, while the piano accompaniment is skillfully crafted by Justin La.Drawing inspiration from the mythical symbolism of the phoenix, this cantata narrates the journey through life's challenges and tribulations and explores how we can learn to comprehend, embrace, and grow from them. Although the Phoenix is not explicitly mentioned, the underlying message resonates with the tale of the phoenix: after facing adversity or transformation, we emerge stronger and more beautiful. Each of the 6 movements centers on a flower garden, the gardener's affection for the garden, the looming storm that could devastate it, and the gardener's eventual realization that, even after the storm, the garden remains beautiful and precious.Through its exploration of growth, understanding, and acceptance, Phoenix Cantata explores the universal experiences of adversity and change that we all encounter at various stages of our lives. The phoenix, serving as a symbol of rebirth and renewal, becomes a powerful metaphor for our ability to rise stronger and more resilient from the ashes of hardship.Five of the six movements are accompanied by piano, with one movement being a cappella. The a cappella movement, while split into 11 parts, is quite simple, as these 11 parts simply drone the tones of the overtone series on oo. Movement 4 features a soprano soloist in addition to the SATB chorus and splits into 10 aleatoric parts in the middle section.Please purchase one copy for each individual singer.For more information on compositions and arrangements by Jay Dougherty, visit: www.jmdougherty.com.

For interest and to keep the rhythm moving, we added some pretty cool left-hand fills. We hope you like what we've done with the song!

Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1456693 By Jennifer Oleksy. By Jennifer Oleksy. New Age. Score. 3 pages. Jennifer Oleksy #1035762. Published by Jennifer Oleksy (A0.1456693). This song was inspired by Patti Callahan's novel, Once Upon a Wardrobe.  If this book had a soundtrack, this is my idea of it.  It's a story of faith - faith in finding meaning, faith in a beloved story, and faith even in the face of loss.  The song reflects the magic inherent in the stories of Narnia (Callahan's novel centers around C.S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia) and the hope of an ailing little boy to find out where the story comes from.  It lends emphasis to the idea that although the Narnia stories are fiction, there is indeed much to be found therein that IS real.  And as a young mathemetician surprises herself to find meaning in something not based in logic, so does the listener realize that even when we think we have found the truth of where the story begins, we are only just beginning and there is more to find.

Viola Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1018957 Composed by Benjamin Harry Sajo. 20th Century,Contemporary. Individual part. 2 pages. Benjamin Sajo #6078711. Published by Benjamin Sajo (A0.1018957). Programme Notes: This composition was written to be considered for pairing alongside Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony #3, the Eroica, but can stand on its own virtues as an intense and slow meditation on heroism. The music is like a boiling pot on the stove that’s just began to overflow its bubbles. The first part of the title, kommos, is a Classical Greek term from Attic dramaturgy, literally meaning striking but specifically referring to beating oneself up during lamentation--ripping at the hair, gouging out the eyes--like Oedipus--slapping the forehead, and other acts amid moments of extreme emotional turmoil. For example, from Aeschylus's play Agamemnon, a character bewails: Apollo, Apollo! God of the Ways, my destroyer! For you have destroyed me-and utterly [...]What is this fresh woe [...]what monstrous, monstrous horror, beyond love's enduring, beyond all remedy? And help stands far away! We can easily imagine physical accompaniment to the script; rather than bottling up the pain, the hero lets it all explosively come out.  â€ƒThe second part of the title, When the world moved on, is an epigraph taken from American author Stephen King’s The Dark Tower epic. The primary setting of the novel, a world similar in many ways to our own, is experiencing a dark age where the glorious past is all but a distant memory and all good things are referred to wistfully as occurring, When the world moved on. Yet, the main protagonist, Roland, the last gunslinger, emphasizes that it is not just a figure of speech, but the literal distances between destinations have increased, the positions of the stars have changed, as well as the occurrence of other unnatural phenomena. The world has become a gulf of isolation from all corners. Taken together, this piece is a lamentation for when the world moved on. Truly completed on Yom Kippur during the Covid-19 Pandemic, being unable to fast or go to synagogue, this is my atonement.About the Composer: Benjamin Sajo (b. 1988) is a Canadian composer of contemporary classical music, as well as an educator. Since developing a fiercely independent creative voice upon the completion of his studies at Western (2010) and McGill Universities (2013), he continues to find inspiration from the intersection of mythology, art, and nature upon the contemporary human experience. In 2019, he released his premiere album of original music, The Great War Sextet: Canadian War Poetry with Trombone & Strings, with support from the Ontario Arts Council. He is a member of SOCAN and the League of Canadian Composers.

This composition is a song I wrote for my very first granddaughter, Sydney Katherine who was born on June 3, 2018. The content and meaning of this song is a Filipino custom in which we celebrate the growing up of our daughters becoming a REFINED LADY on their 18th birthday.  I may not be around to sing this song for Sydney when she reaches the age of eighteen.  However, my wish is for her father to sing and dance with her when the time comes.  I also hope to inspire all parents to sing and dance with their daughters when they reach the age of eighteen.
