Mariachi Band - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1405099 Composed by Traditional Mexican Folk Song. Arranged by Donald Jay Smith. Mariachi. Mariachi Band. 10 pages. Donald Jay Smith Music #988137. Published by Donald Jay Smith Music (A0.1405099). This is from a collection of pieces I originally arranged for my Middle School Mariachi Band at Curtis Corner Middle School in Wakefield, Rhode Island. Since that time, I have used these arrangements with all ages through college, pros, and especially two families that happened to have the correct instrumentation between the parents and their children. At the middle school, the strings were more advanced than the trumpets and I needed to deal with young string players only being familiar playing sharp keys and brass players only being familiar with flat keys. My solution for one of the first arrangements was in “Mexican Hat Dance�. I assigned the violins two simple double stops (their first double stops: one finger in low first position while bowing both the A and E string-the first finger on the E string is an F chord and first finger on the A string is a C7 chord). I split the four songs, two in flat keys two in sharp keys. The trumpets were assigned several unfamiliar pitches in the sharp keys like G#, but with plenty of repetition and not technically challenging figures except in the bridge of “Mexican Hat Dance�. I intended to cover that part of the song on my trumpet, but the trumpets always rose up and nailed it!The set we usually played included: “La Cucaracha�, “Cielito Lindo�, “De Colores�, and “Mexican Hat Dance�, all available here (soon).

Instrumental Duet,Piano Cello,Instrumental Duet,Piano,Violin - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1173377 Composed by Grisha Krivchenia. Classical,Contemporary. Score and parts. 36 pages. Abundant Silence #773525. Published by Abundant Silence (A0.1173377). The Poison Arrow by Grisha Krivchenia For Piano, Violin, and Violoncello, Advanced, 34 Pages The title of The Poison Arrow refers to one of the Buddha's sermons. A young man comes to Siddhatta Gotama with a barrage of ontological questions: how long has the universe been in existence, who created it, etc. Gotama replies with an analogy:It's just as if a man were wounded with an arrow thickly smeared with poison. His friends & companions, kinsmen & relatives would provide him with a surgeon, and the man would say, 'I won't have this arrow removed until I know whether the man who wounded me was a noble warrior, a priest, a merchant, or a worker.' He would say, 'I won't have this arrow removed until I know the given name & clan name of the man who wounded me.'[...]The man would die and those things would still remain unknown to him.*​In the Buddha's teaching, speculative philosophies are not important; what matters is figuring out how to overcome suffering in everyday life. We will all die without answering the mysteries of physics and metaphysics. So the appropriate thing to do is to focus significant attention on living a better life here and now.The first movement of The Poison Arrow depicts suffering, and a frantic, often fruitless, attempt to find a way out. The second movement is a depiction of life without suffering, completely placid and free.

Small wonder, when I was a flutist and my closest friends in band played trumpet, baritone sax, and clarinet. Who writes for that combination?Later, as a music teacher, I would either be approached by students in the same kind of situation or I would have an after-school ensemble consisting of something like 3 flutes, 2 alto saxes, 4 pianists, 5 drummers, a guitar, a viola, and an accordion. Now, really. Who writes for THAT combination?!Since I am also a composer (who often finds herself writing for similarly odd instrumentation), I would simply arrange music for that combination. But not every teacher or student is comfortable with doing that or has the time to. Finally, I am sharing with you all the fruits of my labor. Let friends play with friends!

Brass Ensemble Bass Trombone,Euphonium,Horn,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1297452 Composed by Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn. Arranged by Shinya Ishida. 19th Century,Classical,Wedding. Score and Parts. 31 pages. BitNotes.jp #887509. Published by BitNotes.jp (A0.1297452). The Wedding March is a delightful composition by the German composer Felix Mendelssohn, originally conceived as part of the incidental music for William Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream. This enchanting piece comes to life during the wedding scene, set on a magical night where fairies revel and four young lovers, along with the Fairy King and Queen, find themselves entangled in the mischief of a love potion, ultimately celebrating two joyous unions.Composed in 1842, this piece gained widespread recognition when it was performed alongside Wagner's Bridal Chorus at the wedding of Prince Friedrich of Prussia and Princess Victoria of the United Kingdom in 1858. Since then, it has remained a timeless classic and a staple in weddings and joyous celebrations worldwide.We have meticulously transcribed this iconic wedding composition for a brass ensemble featuring ten musicians (3 trumpets, 3 horns, 3 trombones, and 1 tuba). For those seeking to add an extra layer of grandeur to their performance, optional percussion instruments (cymbals and triangle) can be seamlessly incorporated.It's worth noting that the Bass Trombone part can be played on the Euphonium as well, offering flexibility to the ensemble. Given the piece's length and multiple repetitions, individual performers can consider omitting repeats or making cuts to suit the performance scene and endurance levels.Elevate your special occasion with this timeless masterpiece, the Wedding March, expertly arranged for brass ensemble. It's the perfect choice to add a touch of elegance and magic to your wedding or celebratory event.

String Trio Cello,Double Bass,Violin - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1266243 Composed by Antonio Vivaldi. Arranged by Snakewood Editions. Baroque,Classical. 23 pages. Sneakwood Editions #858975. Published by Sneakwood Editions (A0.1266243). Preface and notes to the edition (English and Spanish) Score Parts (violin, violoncello, and basso) The sonata can be found in autograph version at the Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria di Torino (Foá 29, pp.83r-86v).  It is the only known copy of this work, and was composed around 1720. It is copied in full score format.In the known catalog of Vivaldi’s works we find only another piece written for the same instrumentation (violin, violoncello, and basso): the trio sonata RV 820. The differences between the two sonatas are notable: the rv 820 sonata was written in Vivaldi’s younger years (ca. 1705) while the rv 83 sonata shows us a Vivaldi who has already forged his own fully recognizable style.Vivaldi used abbreviations and sometimes omitted certain information; a common practice found in many of his autographs. This edition clarifies all these annotations and, at the same time, gives the performer all the information contained in the manuscript.
