How Great Thou Art MEDIUM EASY PIANOStuart K. Hine served as a British Methodist missionary for a time in Ukraine. In 1931 he heard the Russian translation of a German song inspired by Carl Boberg's poem O Store Gud (O Great God). Hine translated the song to English and added verses. The central theme appears in the third verse: And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in. Mr. Hine and his family left Ukraine as famine and World War Two began, settling in Somerset, Britain, where he continued to serve in missionary efforts. And, although several competing translations appeared through the years, this version of the lyric was published in 1949 and quickly spread in popularity. It was first widely used, though after further introduction by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Team in its London Crusade of 1954, as well as in subsequent American meetings.Colossians 1:16Psalm 90:2Psalm 105:2Expressed simply and clearly for beginning pianists, with fingering suggestions for both teacher and player, itâ??s a perfect choice for prelude, brief offertory, recital or other occasions and itâ??s perfect for each of the stanzas from most hymnals.Soâ?¦check out other versions of How Great Thou Art, including EASY PIANO from Studio B ProductionsThanks, as always to the good folks at ArrangeMe.com, a division of Hal Leonard!

Out of the Depths Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir (From deep affliction I cry out to you), is, of course, a hymn composed by Martin Luther. Moreover, Luther also wrote the lyrics which are essentially a paraphrase of Psalm 130. First published in 1524, it is also one of eight songs in the original Lutheran hymnal. It appears likewise in many hymnals and in different translations. The lyrics furthermore stimulated compositions from the Renaissance to contemporary. Consequently, composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach built an entire chorale cantata on it. Other composers similarly contributed compositions, such as Felix Mendelssohn and Max Reger. Luther Background Martin Luther, (1483 –1546) was a German professor of theology, composer, priest, and moreover, an influential character in the Protestant Reformation. Luther had a momentous impact on church and society due to his contributions to the musical arts. He wanted to disseminate the gospel among mankind and with this intention thought that the best way to do that was through music. Influence It is important to realize that other musicians, and their descendants, were encouraged by Luther’s songs and wrote their own hymns. Luther, to be sure, had a thorough musical education. For example, he knew secular and sacred songs from an early age. He, in particular, played the lute well and sang in the monastery when he was a monk. That is to say, music was an essential part of his life. He in fact first began writing songs in 1523, sometimes writing the melody as well as the lyrics. Luther was certainly able to evaluate the composers of his time. He thought especially highly of Josquin des and Ludwig Senfl. He was also acquainted, with this in mind, with other composers and their works. Legacy The Lutheran musical ethos soon covered all of Germany and later significantly fashioned Protestant musical culture. Heinrich Schütz and Johann Sebastian Bach are the most compelling evidence of this Protestant musical culture. Additionally, as a point often overlooked, the pedal organ, first refined in northern Germany, became universally prevalent. As a matter of fact, Dieterich Buxtehude established a regular evening organ concert series in Lübeck. Another key point is that this concert series, in turn, spread North German Musical ideas worldwide. Luther was especially convinced that music is a beautiful and exclusive offering of the divine.

Piano,Soprano Saxophone - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.844539 Composed by Robert Schumann. Arranged by Phil Beaman. Concert,Romantic Period,Sacred,Standards. Score and part. 7 pages. Phil Beaman #3509457. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.844539). In 1849 Robert Schumann completed a set of Romantic character pieces for piano which he named Forest Scenes. One of that set was called Pleasant Landscape, which I have freely arranged for accompanied Instrumental Solo. I have slowed it down considerably from the original and marked it with passionate energy. The beauty and interest is created by the shaping and phrasing of this beautiful melodic line. It has a rubato feeling throughout with constant tempo changes like rall, molto rall, freely, accel, etc. In keeping with the characteristics of the Romantic period my arrangement is full of interpretive marks in every measure making it a great piece for auditions to show your technique and interpretation. Not too difficult to play but sounds quite advanced when all details are observed. The equally beautiful piano part provides great interplay of expressive harmony and countermelody. A beautiful piece to show your expressive musicianship and impress them in either concert or audition. Marked Intermediate due to the plethora of markings to observe, musicianship that is required for a mature performance, and a 2 octave range that will push the limits of some instruments.3:10 minutes, 5 page score, 2 page solo partTemporary recording of a piano reduction of total score.

Spike Maiden Mueller #6328089. Published by Spike Maiden Mueller (A0.850760). A gospel song which became a protest song and the signal anthem of the civil rights movement, We Shall Overcome is commonly believed to be lyrically descended from I'll Overcome Some Day, a hymn by Charles Albert Tindley. The modern version was first contributed to the People's Songs Bulletin by Zilphia Horton, who said she had learned it from tobacco workers organizer Lucille Simmons in 1945. It became associated with the civil rights movement in 1959 when Guy Carawan and Pete Seeger began using their version at the Highlander Folk School in Tennessee. Within a year, it had spread across the south, becoming the unofficial anthem of the civil rights movement.This simple solemn version for two clarinets and piano is offered for contemporary use. The first clarinet part is well within reach of second or third year students while the second clarinet stays below the break at all times, making it accessible by good first year players.This arrangement is copyright 2021 by Spike Maiden Müller.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.918241 Composed by Emily Nafius. 20th Century,Contemporary,Jazz,Pop,Standards. Score. 5 pages. Emily Nafius Music #5994455. Published by Emily Nafius Music (A0.918241). A modern, melodic original composition, suitable for students and advanced musicians alike.Composer’s Note:The Acheron is a river in Greece, but it also has a history in Greek myth. While it is known as a river of woe in connection with the mythical Greek underworld, it can have positive connotations when the underworld is reframed as a place for introspection, transformation, and rebirth.For interested students or teachers, here are a few pedagogical notes:This piece is intended to be performed without pedal, but in a legato style. It has an understated and modern quality that older high school and adult students may enjoy. This can be an opportunity for students to work on playing their eighth notes evenly, to strengthen their left hand by holding down the bass note, and to understand and correctly play hemiola. Only a single, initial dynamic marking is included in the text; this piece can be an exercise in looking at the overall structure and using one’s intuition to shape the phrases. There are a few places where fingering is indicated, but the fingering is mostly left up to the player, so that they can work with their teacher to problem-solve-especially if their hand size is small (like the composer’s). About the Composer:Emily Nafius is a pianist in Southern California with her musical roots in jazz. As a soloist or sideman, she has performed at numerous music venues around California in an eclectic mix of styles, and recorded with a variety of jazz musicians, singer-songwriters, and rock bands. Her work as an accompanist spans classical, jazz, and musical theatre, receiving praise for her theatre work as a pianist and ensemble leader. She has maintained a teaching studio for over fifteen years, instructing musicians of all ages.

Se reitera la expresado en las anteriores composiciones de esta clase, que: Aunque lo parezca, no se trata de emular al gran Juan Sebastián Bach, más bien al componer en este estilo se rinde un tributo eterno de gratitud y admiración por la majestuosidad y perfección de su obra, como lo han hecho multitud de músicos en el mundo a través de la historia...

Cornet,Horn,Trombone - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1347512 Composed by Philippe De Vitry. Arranged by James M. Guthrie. Chamber,Early Music,Historic,Medieval,Traditional. 6 pages. Jmsgu3 #932321. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.1347512). The motet Hugo, Hugo, princeps by Philippe de Vitry is significant for its musical innovation and potential political connotations. The motet's text is drawn from the opening lines in the two top voices, and it is suggested that it makes a strong political statement about the exile of French Christians, similar to the Jews from their homeland in the Old Testament and the corrupt leadership at the time. Additionally, the motet employs elements that de Vitry helped develop early in the 14th century, which would later characterize the Ars Nova period in music. Therefore, Hugo, Hugo, princeps is notable for its musical and potentially political significance.The term Hugo princeps in Philippe de Vitry's motet is believed to refer to a specific individual named Hugo, potentially with political connotations. The term princeps in the motet's title may imply a reference to a leader or prince. When combined with the context of the text, it likely carries a symbolic or allegorical meaning related to that period's political and social environment. The term Cum structura in Hugo princepsCum structura is a musical term that translates to with structure in English. In the context of Philippe de Vitry's motet, it likely denotes the structural complexity and organization of the musical composition. This term reflects the meticulous and innovative musical construction for which Vitry's works are known, particularly during the Ars Nova period in the 14th century.Philippe de Vitry, a French composer-poet, bishop, and music theorist, is known for his significant contributions to late medieval music. In the last decade of his life, from 1351 to 1361, he served as the Bishop of Meaux, near Paris. This appointment was the crowning event of his court and church career. As a bishop, Vitry's accomplishments were primarily in the musical and literary domains. He was an innovative and influential composer, widely acknowledged as a leading musician of his day, and his treatise Ars Nova became a rallying cry for all modern composers after about 1320. Additionally, he was known for his French poetry set to music, creating a new style of song, anticipating the work of Guillaume de Machaut. While his tenure as a bishop was relatively short, his lasting impact was in music and poetry.

Guitar Ensemble Guitar - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.797718 By Harpers Bizarre. By Harry Warren. Arranged by Derek Hasted. Contemporary. Score and parts. 23 pages. Derek Hasted #3692111. Published by Derek Hasted (A0.797718). CHATTANOOGA CHOO CHOO - GUITAR QUARTET/LARGE ENSEMBLEFor Classical or Acoustic Guitar - sometimes it's erroneously listed here as Electric Guitar.Derek Hasted writes This is a real toe-tapper, with a swing rhythm and a fun-to-play bass line. As the piece progresses, the arrangement becomes a little more complex with tiny imitations of the tune popping up in the gaps when the tune is holding a long note. It's intermediate standard, but the four parts are all slightly different standards, so it will suit an ensemble where not everyone has the same ability. Guitar 4 is supplied in both treble and bass clefs to suit classical guitar, contra or bass guitar. It’s been performed in the past by Hampshire Guitar Orchestra, so this is a well-proven arrangement that has featured in dozens of concerts, and is arranged to produce a big sound without a big effort! I hope you enjoy playing this piece!

I dreamed I was performing a gentle but compelling guitar piece in concert. I woke up and wrote down what I could remember. When I began to develop it, I tried to fit the ideas in groups of eight bars or measures but it did not have the feel of the music in my dream. This piece does not attempt to be square, it has a freer structure. It is as free as a dream. And, what is life? A dream! .

Jmsgu3 #3468804. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.549235). J. S. Bach BWV 508.  Bist du bei mir Bach adapted this aria from a lost Stölzel opera called Diomedes. He changed the original orchestral instrumentation to soprano, strings, and continuo.  He also modified the voice-leading making it sound more like a Bach composition. The work appears as BWV 508 No. 25 in the Anna Magdalena Notebook No. 2.   Source Only a few remnants of the original opera have survived. Historians speculate that Anna Magdalena got the song from the Leipzig Opera after the bankruptcy of 1720. Chances are good, though, that the tune was a favorite of everyone in Leipzig at the time.   Lyrics When thou art near, I go with joyTo death and to my rest.O how joyous would my end be,If your fair hands            Would close my faithful eyes. - Unknown Bach Overview First of all, Johann Sebastian Bach is maybe the greatest composer in music history. Certainly, he was prolific. As a result, everyone has heard of his works. Furthermore, these works number well over a thousand. It seems like people are probably most familiar with instrumental works such as the Brandenburg Concertos, and the Goldberg Variations. But, similarly famous are such noteworthy works as the Well-Tempered Clavier, the Musical Offering, and certainly the Art of Fugue. Seems like his most famous vocal works include the most noteworthy Mass in B Minor. Also, most noteworthy are the St. John Passion, and indeed the Christmas Oratorio.  History Bach came from a long line of musicians and above all, composers. Consequently, he, first of all, pursued a career as a church organist. So as a result, he gained employment in various Protestant churches in Germany. For a while, he worked as a court musician in Weimar and Köthen. Here he probably developed his organ style and likewise his chamber music style. Eventually, he, therefore, gained an appointment as Cantor of St. Thomas in Leipzig. Here he worked until difficulties with his employer ultimately drove him away. The King of Poland finally appointed him as court composer.  Style It seems like Bach created a fascinating new international style. He synthesized elements of the most noteworthy European music ideas into his new style. Even more, this new style was probably his synthesis of European musical rhythm and form. Furthermore, he demonstrated a complete mastery of counterpoint and motivic development. His sense of harmonic organization probably propelled him to the top. Revival                Mendelssohn conducted a Bach revival in the nineteenth century. His effort probably helped to re-familiarize the public with the magnitude of Bach’s works. During this period, scholars published many noteworthy Bach biographies. Moreover, Wolfgang Schmieder published the BWV (Bach Werke Verzeichnis). As a result, this is now the official catalog of his entire artistic output. The BWV number allows us to locate a work in the catalog. Sometimes scholars will simply use an S (Schmieder) as an abbreviation for BWV.  Voyager NASA launched two Voyager spacecraft in 1977. Onboard are phonograph records with sounds, music, and images of life on Earth. The purpose of the launch was to inform intelligent extraterrestrial life forms about conditions on Earth. The music on the disc is varied. There is Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and Stravinsky among others. However, because Bach is so important in our music history, it contains three times more Bach than all the others combined.
