Instrumental Duet Alto Saxophone,Instrumental Duet,Tenor Saxophone - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.844461 Composed by Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn. Arranged by Phil Beaman. Romantic Period,Standards. Score and parts. 4 pages. Phil Beaman #3383081. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.844461). This beautiful tune was written by Felix Mendelssohn in 1845. He titled it Moderato in Bm when it was first published as Op 67 No 5 in a volume of his Songs Without Words. It was often referred to as Heide Lied , a type of pastoral German folk song. Another title derived from that is Song of the Heather. Many current editions give it the title The Shepherd's Complaint.  This instrumental duet arrangement takes a Romantic piece and sets it in 2 part writing. Even without the chords it is still very rich in sound and Romantic in feel. The metre is always in 3 even when the phrasing looks to be in 2; except for a section near the end where I have strayed from the original Mendelssohn and clearly marked Part II with tenutos to be in 2 against Part I in 3. I have also changed phrasing and articulation for more contrast between the two parts. This arrangement is faithful to the spirit of Mendelssohn yet freshens this beautiful old melody. The notes and rhythms are quite easy to play but I have marked it Early Intermediate because so much could be done with phrasing, articulation, and expression that would make this sound like a much more advanced piece. A great Romantic repertoire piece for students. For 2 Altos or 2 Tenors. (2 page score, 1 page Parts)

Guthrie. 19th Century,Chamber,Christmas,Historic,Traditional. 10 pages. Jmsgu3 #1086025. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.1510819). Jingle Bells is a song with a rich and somewhat controversial history, making it an essential piece of American musical culture. Here are some key points about its significance: Origins and EvolutionInitial Composition: Written by James Lord Pierpont in 1857, the song was initially titled One Horse Open Sleigh. It was conceived as a lively tune celebrating sleigh rides, inspired by the famous sleigh races of the time, particularly in Medford, Massachusetts.Thanksgiving RootsInterestingly, Jingle Bells was initially intended as a Thanksgiving song and did not mention Christmas in its original lyrics. Its association with Christmas developed later when it was performed during holiday celebrations.Cultural ImpactGlobal Popularity: Over the years, Jingle Bells has become one of the most recognized and performed secular holiday songs worldwide. It is frequently sung during Christmas festivities and has been recorded by numerous artists, including Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and even The Beatles.First Song in Space: The song gained an unusual distinction as the first tune broadcast from space when astronauts played it on harmonica aboard Gemini 6 in December 1965, adding to its cultural lore.Controversial AspectsMinstrel Show Roots: The song's first public performance was at a minstrel show, which has led to discussions about its origins and the implications of its performance context. This aspect has sparked debate about whether the song should continue to be part of children's repertoires in schools today.Pierpont's Life: Pierpont himself had a complicated life; he was a widower who moved to Georgia after abandoning his children in Boston and later became involved with the Confederacy during the Civil War. His life experiences have colored interpretations of his work and its legacy.ConclusionDespite its controversial past, Jingle Bells remains a beloved holiday classic. Its catchy melody and festive spirit resonate with audiences worldwide, making it an enduring symbol of holiday cheer.

String Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.885555 Composed by Cesar Aviles. Contemporary,Film/TV,Instructional,Standards. Score and parts. 25 pages. Cesar Aviles #2072143. Published by Cesar Aviles (A0.885555). I first performed Siegfried's Idyll as an undergrad, and when I learned that Wagner wrote it for his wife after the birth of their son, I knew I'd do something similar when it was my turn. In the same spirit, Mati is a lullaby for my firstborn Mateo. The piece took me a bit over a month to write and it resembles the tenderness and innocence of our young Mateo. Mati should be graded lower than 4, but because of the independent lines--and some high positions--I decided to grade it higher. Preview the score and check if it's adequate for your students. I haven't heard Mati live because my string orchestra is not at the level yet--but I look forward to it Thanks for reading!

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.834152 Composed by M. L. Daniels. Christian,Contemporary,Jewish. Octavo. 5 pages. M. L. Daniels #5374379. Published by M. L. Daniels (A0.834152). This famous Bible text, To everything there is a season, is set to an unusual harmony. Most chords, except for cadences, are built in perfect 4ths or 5ths. My church choir loved it when I played it, but found it was not that easy to learn because of the quartal harmonies. However, when it is learned, it is a favorite because of its unique quality. Sopranos go up to an A, and basses have one low Eb, so this is not for an amateur choir. Samuel Adler, my favorite composition teacher, used this piece with his Temple Emanuel choir. .

Piano Solo - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.730753 By Diego Spitaleri. By Diego Spitaleri. Arranged by Diego Spitaleri. Classical,Contemporary,New Age. Score. 4 pages. Diego Spitaleri #339009. Published by Diego Spitaleri (A0.730753). This song personally involves me because it was composed during the lockdovn period, when I knew that my daughter would have a baby. And it is also for this reason that I chose to publish it on March 19th when it is Father’s Day in Italy. But this lullaby doesn’t just want to be personal. In fact, I like to think that it can give rise to a feeling of positive expectation of a better future.

Alto Saxophone Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.755094 Composed by Sy Brandon. 20th Century,Concert,Contemporary. Individual part. 10 pages. Sy Brandon #3381815. Published by Sy Brandon (A0.755094). Based on Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea I. A Shifting Reef – This movement depicts the Nautilus as an unknown phenomenon that is a threat to navigation. Some mariners thought it was a sea monster and others thought it was a shifting reef. No one could conceive that it was a boat capable of traveling under water. The music is ever changing throughout this movement. It constantly shifts tonality, melodic ideas, and rhythmic placement of motives. Although some ideas repeat, they are transformed by combining them in different patterns with other previously stated ideas. II. A Walk at the Bottom of the Sea Through a Submarine Forest – Circular breathing is used at the beginning and the end of this movement to represent an undersea walk. The musical material appears in reverse at the end representing a return to the Nautilus. The lighter middle section represents walking over a more rocky terrain. The multiphonics symbolize the wonders of the submarine forest. III. The Giant Squids – The giant squids have surrounded the Nautilus and have caused the propeller to jam. In order to free themselves, Captain Nemo, his crew, Professor Aronnax, Conseil, and Ned Land do battle with the squids. This energetic scherzo reflects on the dangers of the battle. Several screams are heard as the squids entangle Ned Land and other crewmembers. The short multiphonics and syncopations represent the men chopping away and the arms of the squid. At the end, the Nautilus finally frees itself after the loss of one life. IV. Trapped Near the South Pole – After discovering the South Pole, the Nautilus is returning to open waters when it is caught between the polar icecap and iceberg that flips over. The tremolos reflect the doom of the Nautilus as only two days of air supply remain. The only means of escape is to chop through the ice below the Nautilus. The staccato notes represent the crew members hacking away at the ice. When that fails, Captain Nemo tries to melt the ice by expelling hot water from the Nautilus. This is represented by the saxophonist blowing air through the saxophone and wiggling the keys. A sense of doom returns that is followed by a final attempt of the Nautilus to crash through the remaining ice. A triumphant ending reflects the success of this attempt. V. The Maelstrom – As Professor Aronnax, Conseil, and Ned Land attempt their escape from the Nautilus, the ship enters the feared maelstrom, a vortex off the coast of Norway where no ship has escaped. The swirling waters are represented by the triplet passages and the escape by the duplet passages. An epilogue using the doom music of the previous movement suggests the end of the Nautilus but a brief return to a slower version of the Shifting Reef motive perhaps suggests otherwise

Choral Choir,Choral (SATB divisi) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1312862 By James Newton Howard. By Jeremiah Fraites, Suzanne Collins, and Wesley Schultz. Arranged by Aaron Cox. 21st Century,A Cappella,Film/TV,Pop,Thriller. 11 pages. Aaron Cox #901697. Published by Aaron Cox (A0.1312862). This is an acapella arrangement of the song Hanging Tree from the hit movie series The Hunger Games.This song is one that remains very close to my heart and I thought it deserved a high quality acapella arrangement. When I did my region's youth choir, it was one piece of music that we sang between rehearsals and it brought us together, especially when it was dark outside. This arrangement was a blast to make, and I hope that for future choirs that it will be a pleasure to perform! Enjoy the arrangement!

Brass Ensemble - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1005635 Composed by J. S. Bach (1685-1750). Arranged by Rudy Volkmann. Baroque. Score and parts. 42 pages. Rudy Volkmann #6038789. Published by Rudy Volkmann (A0.1005635). This arrangement of one of the Baroque period's most famous pieces is not for the faint-hearted.  It's a difficult piece, probably for graduate students, but a great tour-de-force for a brass section when it's put together.  And it's doable.  All the long lines are split between different players, and even when everyone is in for a long phrase there are little catch-breath openings for everyone.  But it's a long blow - not many rests for anyone.  If you're looking for a real showpiece for your brass section, this is it.

Published by Phillip Lawrence (A0.883793). Christmas comes but once a year, but when it does for many it inspires memories and thoughts of loved one’s past and present and your own memories too of this time of year when you were young spending Christmas with your family and friends. It is hopelessly nostalgic and at Christmas I revel in it’s nostalgia for me. So I’ve composed a work for brass firstly dedicated to a great man of the brass band from Liverpool Bob Dean (Sailors Chapel, ex Fodens, Camel Lairds and great pal of Jim Scott) and I studied under his baton at BR Edge Hill and with his help I moved on to the famous Manchester CWS Band. Us bander’s love a good tune and a tune that moves us too, I’ve been told by many who have played this that it ticks those boxes. So, however you celebrate this Christmas, I hope this will inspire memories?

Romantic Period. 14 pages. Peet du Toit #976937. Published by Peet du Toit (A0.1393426). Felix Mendelssohn's Wedding March in C major, written in 1842, is one of the best known of the pieces from his suite of incidental music (Op. 61) to Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream. It is one of the most frequently used wedding marches, generally being played on a church pipe organ.At weddings in many Western countries, this piece is commonly used as a recessional, though frequently stripped of its episodes in this context. It is frequently teamed with the Bridal Chorus from Richard Wagner's opera Lohengrin, or with Jeremiah Clarke's Prince of Denmark's March, both of which are often played for the entry of the bride.The first time that Mendelssohn's Wedding March was used at a wedding was when Dorothy Carew wed Tom Daniel at St Peter's Church, Tiverton, England, on 2 June 1847 when it was performed by organist Samuel Reay. However, it did not become popular at weddings until it was selected by Victoria, The Princess Royal for her marriage to Prince Frederick William of Prussia on 25 January 1858. The bride was the daughter of Queen Victoria, who loved Mendelssohn's music and for whom Mendelssohn often played while on his visits to Britain.An organ on which Mendelssohn gave recitals of the Wedding March, among other works, is housed in St Ann's Church in Tottenham.
