The Black Hounds are a nocturnal apparition, and their appearance was regarded as a portent of death. They are supposed to hunt on specific nights in the autumn and winter when it is believed that the howling of these huge dogs foretold death to anyone who heard them. *************************************************About the Composer Laura Olson (ASCAP) is a retired California music educator with over 30 years of experience specializing in stringed instruments and orchestras.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1131811 Composed by Dalva R. R. Barbosa. Film/TV,Pop,Rock. Score. 6 pages. Dalva Regina Ribeiro Barbosa #732042. Published by Dalva Regina Ribeiro Barbosa (A0.1131811). Everybody Deserves Somebody to Love is a musical story in which two characters, who work together, are at a joyful party, with lots of dancing and drinking. Both are in love with each other but social, family, and professional issues prevent them from getting together. However, one of the characters absorbed by the joy of the party (too much to drink, maybe) decides to insist in the relationship. The other character is hesitant and afraid to face such challenge. At the end of the song they decide to take the chance. The piece is structured in a rondó form with the following parts that I called: Introduction (I); A; B; C; I; A; D; A; C; I; A. Imagine a rock and habanera cake with Scarlatti syrup. The layers are: A: An invitation. They say phrases like: “Come to me because I need you now�. B: Expression of pure desire with phrases such as: Hey! I can �t control myself now. B could be called A’. C: In a syncopated rhythm is argumentation. One party is trying to convince the other about assuming their relationship singing like that: “Everybody deserves somebody to love. I can help you to carry on. Just give your life a second chance�. D: Is a moment of reflection. One of the characters is at greater risk and says: I´m afraid, love hurts sometimes. It won´t be so easy to start a new life now.�.

Pop,Rock. 18 pages. Sarah Cellobat Chaffee #4801352. Published by Sarah Cellobat Chaffee (A0.526102). I've loved this song for a long time, so you can imagine how happy I was when I was hired as the cellist for Aerosmith's Deuces Are Wild Las Vegas residency -- getting to perform this song numerous times with the band themselves has been an amazing experience! This arrangement of Dream On truly does the original justice, with all the soaring melodies, dark harmonies, and fun guitar riffs of the original (modified to be more string-friendly, of course). I guarantee you'll have a LOT of fun rocking out on this with your string quartet! Rated advanced-intermediate for a few tricky figures and some occasional weird rhythms, but this will definitely be sightreadable for professionals and learnable for students. Sarah “Cellobat� Chaffee is an in-demand acoustic & electric cellist and string arranger. Currently, she performs with legendary rock band Aerosmith in their “Deuces Are Wild� residency show, and she is the principal cellist for the Raiders House Band, playing for a crowd of 60,000 at all of the team's home games. She also plays with many other groups including Premiere Wedding Music, Bella Electric Strings, the Femmes Of Rock, and David Perrico’s Pop Strings Orchestra. Sarah has performed and recorded with numerous other artists including Disturbed, Mötley Crüe, Celine Dion, Halsey, Michael Bublé, Sarah Brightman, and Lady A. She is the exclusive arranger for a number of award-winning wedding and event companies all across the United States, including Premiere Wedding Music, Las Vegas Music Oasis, and Impulse Strings, and she has created custom arrangements for many other ensembles all over the world.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.984700 Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by John M. Honeycutt. Baroque. Score. 8 pages. Music Innovators Workshop #4357045. Published by Music Innovators Workshop (A0.984700). This is a piano arrangement of the Toccata portion of the famous Toccata and Fugue in D minor. It is notated on a key map tablature. Additionally, this wonderful piece has been simplified by removing some notes, but it has not been shortened. In this arrangement, it is still a wonderful piece for those who have not yet gained the skill to play the full piano arrangement. This piece is notated on a vertically oriented tablature called a key map. Key maps are intended to SHOW you (visually) which keys to play by matching (mapping) the locations of the keys on the keyboard. >>> The group of 12 keys from Middle C up to B form what we call the green Octave Group. (There are 7 of these identical groups on the piano distinguished by their colors and locations.) The key map staff is based on an octave group of the keyboard. For each key map octave group, the 5 vertical lines of the staff stand for the 5 matching black KEYS. >>> Staff lines ARE SPACED to match the horizontal spacing of the black keys on the keyboard The notes for black keys are placed ON these staff lines. The notes for the white keys are placed BETWEEN the lines. >>> The notes of a key map move to the left and right to indicate change in PITCH and down the page to indicate the passing of TIME (rhythm). The vertical length of each note is proportional to the time (in beats) that the sound requires.If you want to know more about this beautiful key map notation, you might consider reviewing our article describing how this notation works, entitled: Getting Started With Key Maps for the Piano. It contains an explanation of how key maps work and includes a number of examples. 16 pages. It is promotionally priced at only $1.99.

Silverflute Music #6566313. Published by Silverflute Music (A0.899202). This simple, easy piano arrangement of Every Praise is perfect for a first year piano student who is looking to learn a familiar song but doesn't want the complicated version.

Score and parts. 3 pages. Gustavo Fuentes #3637523. Published by Gustavo Fuentes (A0.900404). The Sky in Your Eyes. Celtic music song composed by Gustavo Fuentes, arranged for two voices. One melody instrument, such as tin-whistle, flute, recorder, low whistle, violin or piano and low voice like cello or bass, with chords for piano or guitar. The audio is from to the Gustavo Fuentes CD Almas en vuelo that you can listen to on Spotify. The eyes are the windows to the soul. They can reflect sadness, happiness, pain, peace, love. The eyes of a mother looking at her child, of a migrant taking one last look at their homeland, the eyes of two lovers getting lost in ecstasy.So we must let our eyes be. Let them fill up with tears of joy, tears of sadness and tears of excitement. We must truly let our eyes be windows to our souls so those that want to get to know it only need to look inside. Once we let our eyes reflect the skies, reflect smiles, reflect hope and even reflect the world, we might be able to perceive the eyes around us. Canción de música celta compuesta por Gustavo Fuentes, arreglada para dos voces. Una aguda como tin-whistle, low whistle, flauta traversa, flauta dulce, violín o piano y un instrumento grave como cello o bajo, con cifrado de acordes para piano o guitarra. El audio pertenece al CD de Gustavo Fuentes Almas en vuelo, que se puede escuchar completo en Spotify. La mirada es el lenguaje del alma. En los ojos se traslucen la tristeza, la alegría, el dolor, la paz, el amor. La mirada de una madre hacia su hijo, la mirada de aquel que debe emigrar y observa por última vez su tierra, la mirada de los enamorados que se funden en el éxtasis.Dejemos ser a nuestros ojos. Que se llenen de lágrimas de emoción, que palidezcan de tristeza o que brillen de deseo. Demos permiso a nuestras miradas y que sean realmente el espejo de nuestra alma para quienes quieran conocerla. Aceptemos que se nos llenen los ojos de cielo, de sonrisas, de esperanza y también de ausencia. Permitamos que nuestro mundo se vea en nuestros ojos, y tal vez entonces podamos ver el universo de miradas que nos rodea.

Violin Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.816607 Composed by PHILLIP BLISS. Arranged by Cydney Olson Van Duker. Christian,Sacred. 10 pages. Cydney Olson Van Duker #5732919. Published by Cydney Olson Van Duker (A0.816607). It Is Well With My Soul has been around for a long time. I'm sure I've been hearing it all my life, but I didn't really notice it until recently. I felt that little tug a my heart saying that I should do some sort of arrangement; so I decided to do a string duet. This hymn is available as a violin duet, or a cello duet, or as a violin and cello duet, all with piano accompaniment. The piano meanders through the first verse, then becomes a soft, mellow pattern in the second verse. The third verse is strong, with the ending getting slower and softer, with the meandering piano again. I've kept the melody simple so it can be easily heard. This would be appropriate for any worship service. Hope you like it!
