Published by Paul Thurmond (A0.828225). Tune: RESIGNATIONUse: Prelude, Offertory, PostludeA couple of years ago I read an interview with director Ridley Scott about his first commercially successful film, Alien. It’s a terrific science fiction/horror movie set on a large spaceship, with a predatory creature who is hunting down the human crew one by one. In the interview, Scott talked about the fact that there were scenes he wanted to film and effects he wanted to use, but his small budget prevented him from doing so. Instead, he was forced to make do with limited time and materials. Alien became a hit, and Scott went on to direct blockbusters like Gladiator and Hannibal.What stuck with me was what Scott said about creativity. It is his opinion that the budgetary constraints under which he operated when making Alien forced him to explore ideas and methods he wouldn’t have otherwise considered. Even though he would later make movies with ten times the budget, he’s extremely proud of what he and his team did with far more limited resources.When I started writing My Shepherd Will Supply My Need, I decided to give myself a big constraint: I would only be allowed to use the white keys of the piano. This is very different for me; I usually throw in some juicy harmonies. It was an interesting process, and I have to say that I agree with Ridley Scott: limits spark creativity. I’m going to look for other ways to apply this principle.I did go over budget slightly, and used one black key. Every flock has its black sheep, right?

Violin Duet Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.697517 Composed by Maurice Ravel. Arranged by Sandy McIntire. 20th Century,Classical,Contest,Festival,Instructional,Standards. 3 pages. Sandy McIntire #4361563. Published by Sandy McIntire (A0.697517). Boléro is a one-movement orchestral piece composed by  Maurice Ravel and arranged here as a violin duet at the skill levels of early intermediate and intermediate level. While on vacation, Ravel played a melody for a friend and remarked, Don't you think this theme has an insistent quality? I'm going to try and repeat it a number of times without any development, gradually increasing the orchestra (volume) as best I can. Bolero for Two Violins is both fun to play and exciting to hear. .

Instrumental Duet Cello,Instrumental Duet,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.917647 Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Robert Shuler. Christmas. Score and parts. 2 pages. Robert Shuler #6204443. Published by Robert Shuler (A0.917647). Cheerful and noveau variations on a traditional favorite.  You will find these are the fantasy melodies that have accompanied the traditional tune in the back of your mind all your life.  Starts simply and builds up.  Not simple to play, but I'm going to say intermediate level.  Second year students should be able to handle it.

Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quartet Clarinet - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.891916 Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Stephen Davies. Baroque. 47 pages. Stephen Davies #3480163. Published by Stephen Davies (A0.891916). The final composition of J.S.Bach is surprisingly triumphant, despite his demise just after bar 239. It's also a matter of scholarly conjecture that Bach wrote 'The Art of Fugue' for the keyboard, as some will argue that certain Contrapunctii (?!) are almost impossible to play, bearing in mind that the sustain pedal had yet to be invented. And thus, the most credible path would be that Bach wrote them as A) Academic exercises for study or B) To be played by a suitable ensemble. I'm going with the latter obviously! I include Donald Tovey's conclusion to the work, its brilliance is noted the world over, but surely not what Bach intended, but damn close!

Flexible arrangement SSA, SAT, SABSchool Choirs, Youth Choirs, Community Choirs, Gospel ChoirsSo much fun to practice and perform. If you have a guitarist to play the instrumental solo, it adds a lot. Drums are a big help, too, but not essential. I wasn't sure how this would work with a choir but it was so great that I'm going to introduce a few more rock songs. The choir and the audience absolutely loved it :)Enjoy!
