A WOMEN’S BLUES By Joe Procopio From the CD ALL IN MY LIFE A WOMENS BLUES is a pop song describing the feelings of some women of today. The Blues is melancholic music and the lyrics of this song express a kind of pensive sadness with no apparent cause. The backing track of music however is uplifting. The result is a song with a curious combination of feelings that are both heartbroken and happy at the same time. There two recorded versions of this song. One was recorded in a studio in California the other is the original recording. The original is a homemade recording done in the Gymnasium of an Elementary School in New Woodstock, NY with Mark Freeman on Drums, brother Greg on both the Guitar and Flute solo, and Barbie Briars doing the vocals. You can also hear Barbie on The Touch, The Taste Of Time, Why Are You So Lonely, For You My God and Maybe It’s The Way. These recordings can be found at Sheet Music Plus, iTunes, Amazon, etc., on a CD entitled All In My Life by the author. The printed sheet music here shows the song as a Lead Sheet. That is, the melody, the lyrics and the chords. JOE PROCOPIO IS THE AUTHOR OF THE VERY BEST AND LOWEST PRICED MUSIC EBOOKS AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE INCLUDING THE AWARD WINNING BASIC MUSIC THEORY.

From Wikipedia:

In an interview, lead singer and pianist Isaac Slade expressed his meaning behind the lyrics of the song:

'You Found Me' is such a great song you should really listen to it. I love it as if it were my own child. The heart ache, the let down that comes with life. Sometimes you're let down, sometimes you're the one who lets someone else down. It gets hard to know who you can trust, who you can count on. This song came out of a tough time, and I'm still right in the thick of it. There's some difficult circumstances my family and friends have been going through over the past year or so and it can be overwhelming. It wears on me. It demands so much of my faith to keep believing, keep hoping in the unseen. Sometimes the tunnel has a light at the end, but usually they just look black as night. This song is about that feeling, and the hope that I still have, buried deep in my chest.

In another interview Isaac Slade declared that:

I kept getting these phone calls from home – tragedy after tragedy... If there is some kind of Person in charge of this planet – are they sleeping? Smoking? Where are they? I just imagined running into God standing on a street corner like Bruce Springsteen, smoking a cigarette, and I'd have it out with Him.

In a Reuters article about the album, Slade stated that the lyrics for You Found Me were written in 2007, and that the song asks about the problem of evil, why bad things happen to good people, after some of their friends and family went through very tough times.

Many others say that the song represents the reason we cope with things and how abandonment plays a role in everyday life.

Forsaken is a 5-octave, unaccompanied marimba solo. The piece draws its inspiration from the biblical verse, Psalms 22:1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? and the same verse quoted by Jesus while he was on the cross in both Matthew and Mark-Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?. This is one of the last seven sayings of Christ before his death on the cross. Some will interpret this saying as words of Abandonment of the Son by the Father. God has left his son to die in pain at the hands of humanity as a sacrifice for their sins.

Why would anyone abandon their partner to take risks in new adventures? Either the person is fickle, or is living a bad, abusive, careless relationship. But the time comes in which he/she loses hope in the current relationship because forgiveness also tire of forgiving. (Vinicius de Moraes in Regra Três). I decided to describe musically - using the same themes - both the sense of loss of those who were adrift, and the sense of freedom of those who left as a way of showing that the same story can be seen from different points of view. However, the title of this musical piece� Missing your Love� alludes to the fact that some people only realize the importance of someone in their lives after they leave.

A beautiful vocal duet for tenor and alto. Words by Kevin G. Pace. Text by Mary Ann W. Snowball. Text: O, Savior of my soul: Make me whole, make me whole. Lend comfort to my mourning heart for errors I still owe. Pure penitence burns deep within; I implore thy grace. Let mercy claim my broken pledge as I seek thy face. O, trust my contrite plea: Set me free, set me free. As deepest anguish stirs inside, seek me searchingly. Consuming fire leaves no stain; cleanse my ev’ry thought. O, lead me to thy suff’ring side where I can be taught. O, my beloved child: I am here; I am here. Each mournful moment pardons fault, drying ev’ry tear. So blessed are they who grieve for sins; know my holy name. Remember I have giv’n my soul; that is why I came. O, child of my soul: Hear my voice, hear my voice. Sure comfort comes with strains of love; solace is my choice. My covenant assures thy peace, lending holiness, Then beauty for sweet ashes gives my eternal rest. Now I’m whole, I am whole; I can see thy face. O, now my soul is comforted in thy warm embrace.

Serenade For Solo Tuba Review Serenade for solo Tuba by David Golightly Modrana Music Publishers Ltd. The Serenade for solo Tuba was premiered by James Anderson, Professor of Tuba at The Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London, England in May 1980. My only question is, why did it take so long to get published and into the repertoire of serious tubists all over the globe? It is definitely a welcome addition to the library of the solo tubist. Good solo pieces that are entertaining for audiences are quite hard to come by. This piece will most assuredly be one of those to join the ranks of Penderecki's Capriccio and Gregson's Alarum. The Serenade is set up in three movements and is metered throughout. The range of the work is from DD-g1. Movement One entitled March, is in 2/4 and m.m. equals 112. It is quite spirited in style and will require a performer with agile abilities to navigate through wide intervals and varied articulations. Movement Two is not your typical slow, melodic song that one would imagine from a title such as Elegy. It is extremely doloroso in nature and has the soloist soaring into the extreme upper range (g1) utilizing strict rhythmic patterns. The Gallop, movement three, is quite animated and encompasses mixed meters with the majority of the piece being in 6/8. Just when you think your triplets are moving along, a duple figure is thrown in to add variety to the melodic lines, which is actually quiet refreshing and prevents it from becoming a boring, technical exercise. As was stated before, this work will require a performer with great technique. Not for the less than advanced tubist. If you have conquered the other reputable solo tuba pieces, then this one should definitely be next. Raul I. Rodriguez Tuba Journal 1998. David writes music with great intelligence and accessibility, that also captures a human spirit that makes you want to share his music in-performance Ewan Easton (Halle Tuba) The MP3 is a computer generated file of the first movement March.
