Easy Piano - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.762355 Composed by Lori Cummings. Children,Comedy,Contest,Festival,Folk,Instructional. Score. 1 pages. Lori Cummings #4766553. Published by Lori Cummings (A0.762355). Thumbs Up for Ice Cream! is a fun exercise for students to use to learn to differentiate between using the Treble Clef Thumb and the Bass Clef Thumb for Middle C.  The entire song is written on Middle C, using half notes and quarter notes.  When I teach this song, I make it into a game with my students.  On half notes they say ice cream to feel the 2 beats and on quarter notes they say scoop.  Once they master the song using the correct rhythm words and thumbs, they then have to challenge the members of their family to do it.  The kids love getting their family members and sometimes even their friends to do it.  This is a simple song, but packed full of fun!

Theupperstaff #698373. Published by theupperstaff (A0.1094288). This arrangement is from the solo piano repertoire and the pen of Bela Bartok. It is the second selection from his 7 Sketches, Sz. 44. This setting allows the richness of the strings to give it a new perspective and depth. From the beginning when E minor is presented against A flat major it has a minimalist feel while still allowing for superb compositional skill to be exhibited.

Organ - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.932682 Composed by Irish Melody. Arranged by Terry M. Forsyth. Christian,Instructional,Sacred,Standards. Score. 2 pages. Forsyth Publishing #6097841. Published by Forsyth Publishing (A0.932682). This 3.75 minute arrangement first states the first line of the hymn a few times then continues so when the line reaches the end of the phrase and holds, the material giving the rest to what the ear hears as the resting spots of the melodic statement finds the melody restated to provide the ear its resting, resulting in a constant infusion thus, a litany. Using the voix celeste, this is a very well received writing.  It happens the day after I finished this my mother passed.  I have used this as prelude and offertory.  Good for students needing help with learning legato.  A favorite of my congregation, I always am thanked by someone each time it is presented for having played it.  Good instruction for providing easy pedal part that slowly spans from Eb1 to F3 then back to Eb1 by step progression.  Tune name:  Slane.

It was probably written in 1707 when he was 22 years old. It is a Chorale Cantata, a style in which both the text and music are based on a hymn. In this instance, the source was Martin Luther's hymn of the same name which became a main Easter hymn in German Lutheranism.Regis Bookshar has transcribed and arranged three selections based on this hymn tune, two from Bach's Cantata No.   4, BMV   4, and also his Chorale Prelude, BMV 625. They may be played individually or as a trilogy and each movement gets more complex that the previous one. The first selection in this trilogy is the Chorale, Christ lag in Todesbanden, the final chorus from his Cantata No.   4, a straightforward four-part chorale setting of the hymn (Regis has also added a fifth part). This is followed by Bach's Chorale Prelude, BMV 625, a piece from his Orgelbuchlein (Little Organ Book), a collection of 46 Preludes for organ, written almost exclusively during the 1708-1717 period, while Bach was court organist at Weimar. For the final selection, Regis has placed the polyphonic and imitative chorus, Es war ein wunderlicher Krieg, da Tod und Leben rungen (It was a strange battle, that death and life waged), which Bach had placed in the middle of his Cantata No.   4.This arrangement is for a Saxophone Quintet, consisting of 1 Soprano Saxophone, 1 Alto Saxophone, 2 Tenor Saxophones and 1 Baritone Saxophone. Included are a score and a complete set of parts (29 pages).I hope you will enjoy playing these selections and please search for other arrangements by Regis Bookshar.

Brass Ensemble Horn,Trombone,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.971691 Composed by Michael E. Ropp. 20th Century. Score and parts. 8 pages. Michael E. Ropp #2034341. Published by Michael E. Ropp (A0.971691). Brass Postlude 2 was designed to be used on those Sunday mornings when a brass quintet is available for the choir anthem, and it is desired to make maximum use of the quintet. There is a corresponding Brass Prelude 2 that goes with it. Brass Prelude 2 is, in a word, wild; it is very modern in style, very fast, and quite short, and is specifically designed to end the service with a bang, sending the worshipers out on an uplifting note. This piece requires an advanced quintet because of the tonal structures, speed, and the requirement for a piccolo trumpet in A.

Baritone Ukulele,Instrumental Solo - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1213139 Composed by Antoine Lemaine. Arranged by Chris Webster. 19th Century,Classical. Individual part. 11 pages. Chris Webster #810315. Published by Chris Webster (A0.1213139). Les Folies d'Espagne was a popular theme throughout the Baroque and Classical periods with versions by many composers, for example, Fernando Sor and Mauro Giuliani. This version is by Antoine Lemaine, a lesser known guitarist of the classical period. He must have got carried away when writing it because he produced 29 variations, some of them very fast and difficult! Here are 12 of them - and it still runs to 208 bars! However, you don't have to play them all or break your fingers! Simply choose a selection that suits you. For example, the theme and variations 1 to 3 make an easy but effective set. Thus, this piece is as easy or difficult as you want to make it, with the theme and easier variations being at lower intermediate level. The arrangement is for Baritone ukulele, but the tab will also work with any ukulele with linear tuning.

Brass Ensemble Horn,Trombone,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.802559 Composed by Stanley Myers. Arranged by Derek Broadbent & Peet du Toit. Contemporary. Score and parts. 12 pages. Peet du Toit #5791193. Published by Peet du Toit (A0.802559). Cavatina is a 1970 classical guitar piece by British composer Stanley Myers written for the film The Walking Stick (1970), and popularised as the theme from The Deer Hunter some eight years later. As the Italian diminutive of cavata, cavatina is a musical term frequently applied to any simple, melodious air.The piece had been recorded by classical guitarist John Williams, long before the film that made it famous. Cleo Laine wrote lyrics and recorded the song as He Was Beautiful, accompanied by Williams. It has been recorded since by many guitarists, such as Leona Boyd, Angel Romero, Norbert Kraft.Derek Broadbent's arrangements caught my soul when I was playing the flügelhorn solo in a brass band, so I decided to transcribe it for a brass quintet, having less players around but still being able to celebrate this wonderful composition and arrangement.

Guitar,Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.506155 Composed by Bertolt Brecht, Kurt Weill, and Marc Blitzstein. Arranged by Alpin Smart (transcription for voice and guitar). 20th Century,Broadway,Classical,Musical/Show,Standards. Score. 5 pages. SmartWorks Publications #117713. Published by SmartWorks Publications (A0.506155). Brecht's 'Grand Guignol' masterpiece, Pirate-Jenny, was penned sometime before the idea of a 'play with music', based on John Gay's Beggar's Opera, was conceived. It was even set to music (to Brecht's own tune, which Weill used as the basis for the chorus in his setting). One of many 'greatest hits' from Brecht and Weill's Threepenny Opera - itself, a huge hit when premiered in 1928 in Berlin, and again, on Broadway, with English lyrics by Marc Blitzstein, it has absolutely nothing to do with the characters or the action in The Threepenny Opera! But, it was too good a song not to be used! Interpreted by greats, such as Nina Simone, among others, this song, like Mack the Knife and September Song, continues to wow generation after generation!

John Ivor Holland #977871. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1394389). Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat is a song written by Frank Loesser and introduced in the Broadway musical, 'Guys and Dolls', which opened at the 46th Street Theatre on November 24, 1950. In the context of the show, gambler Nicely-Nicely Johnson invents a dream about being saved from hell in order to bring together the members of the prayer meeting. It was originally performed on stage by Stubby Kaye who later reprised his role as Nicely-Nicely Johnson in the 1953 London production, as well as the 1955 film version. In popular culture, the song was performed in the pilot episode of the show 'Glee' in 2009, and then redone in the season 3 finale, Goodbye as well as making appearances on various TV shows and films. When performed on-stage, it's usual that this is the song that gets multiple encores, so get ready to potentially play it several times in a concert!

Tenor Saxophone Solo - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1217912 Composed by Gerald Marks and Seymour Simons. Arranged by Leo Silva. Jazz. Individual part. 1 pages. MP Sheet Music #814430. Published by MP Sheet Music (A0.1217912). Composition and characteristics  All of Me is a jazz standard whose lyrics and music were written by Gerald Marks and Seymour Simons in 1931. It has an ABAC structure and was originally written in the key of B-flat major.The melody combines the music's contradictory possibilities. The downward thrusts of the opening phrases suggest emotional despair, while the final line, with its repeated high notes, sounds almost jubilant. It usually runs in an average time.All of Me first came to public notice when a performance by Belle Baker was broadcast on the radio in 1931. After that a few others also became successful.Frank Sinatra recorded several versions of All of Me. Its 1948 release peaked at No. 21. He also sang it in the film Meet Danny Wilson, which may have helped Johnnie Ray's performance reach No. 12 in the charts that year. Sinatra's use of All of Me brought a non-jazz audience to the song, as did Willie Nelson, whose version was included on his Stardust album and reached No. 3 on the Hot Country Songs chart in 1978. In 2000, All of Me of Me received the Towering Song Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Chamber Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1432016 By Juan Maria Solare. By Juan Maria Solare. 20th Century,Classical,Contemporary,Historic,Instructional. 18 pages. Juan Maria Solare #1012496. Published by Juan Maria Solare (A0.1432016). Orchestraining is a cycle of orchestral studies, each focusing on different aspects of performance. These studies are specifically designed for non-professional orchestras, although any orchestra will improve by playing some of these pieces during rehearsals. It is always necessary to pay attention to intonation and many other aspects of orchestral performance.In addition, these studies are also useful for orchestral conducting students. For example, it is essential to know how to conduct a simultaneous attack of a chord that does not begin on the first beat, but a eighth note after the third beat.I began writing these studies around 2013, when I took over the direction of the Bremer Orchestergemeinschaft and noticed the complete absence of repertoire of this kind. As a pianist, I am accustomed to studies by Carl Czerny or playing scales. Each individual instrumentalist knows studies of technique for their instrument. However, there are no, or at least I am not aware of, similar studies for orchestral performance technique and the specific difficulties of ensemble playing that it requires. The cycle Orchestraining aims to fill this gap.This second orchestral etude focus on tuning / intonation.

Published by Chicory Music (A0.1194430). Edelweiss is a show tune from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music. It is named after the edelweiss, (Leontopodium nivale), a white flower found high in the Alps. The song was created for the 1959 Broadway production of The Sound of Music, as a song for the character Captain Georg von Trapp. In the musical, Captain von Trapp and his family sing this song during the concert near the end of Act II. It is a statement of Austrian patriotism in the face of the pressure put upon him to join the navy of Nazi Germany following the Anschluss (Nazi annexation of their homeland). It is also Captain von Trapp's subliminal goodbye to his beloved homeland, using the flower as a symbol of his loyalty to Austria. In the 1965 film adaptation, the song is also sung by the Captain earlier in the film when he rediscovers music with his children. This was the final song of Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical collaboration as well as the last song written by Oscar Hammerstein II, who died in August 1960.This arrangement for German Band (plus optional vocal) is arranged for those musicians who perform at the Intermediate Level or above. This song is perfect for Oktoberfest. Parts Include: Full Score, Voice (Optional), 1st and 2nd Clarinet, Trumpet, Trombone, Accordion  / Piano, Tuba, Acoustic Bass (Tuba Sub.) and Drum Set.  * MP3 starts in measure 5.
