Our wings are fluttering, our lights are all lit, and we're genuinely excited about this clever presentation which tells the Christmas story in a new, and fantasy-sort-of-way.

Mr. Stinkbug is an intermediate-level Halloween piano solo about something I find truly terrifying, a stinkbug landing on somebody's meal. The stinkbug in this piece haunts with a jazzy tune written in the key of E minor. The pieces opens with syncopated and triplet rhythms played with swung eighth notes. The middle section features straight eighth note syncopated rhythms influenced by Latin music. This is followed by a improvisatory section where students improvise a right hand melody using the E blues scale. The stinkbug saga concludes with a snappy ending and a warning to fellow diners, Watch out! He's gonna land on your food..

TAPS  A Remembrance   
Bb Solo Trumpet, Narrator, Piano/Organ/Orchestra, optional SATB Choir  > 2:00
TAPS - A Remembrance is ideal for the kinds of brief but important Memorial Day and/or Independence Day observances so often called for in our time.
The poignant narration recalls the story of United States Army Sergeant Keith Clark playing the bugle call know today as Taps for the interment of President John F. Kennedy (November of 1963). As author William Manchester later wrote, “The 6th note of the 24 he played seemed like “a catch in your voice or a swiftly stifled sob� that the whole world heard, and that remains part of our national heritage.
The background arrangement (optionally with chorus) heightens the emotion of the story until both give way to a regulation trumpet solo version that includes the grace note error and fades at the end. The orchestration is done in a 4 Part + format that lends itself to optional performance by any section of the orchestra (originally for brass alone).
The choral octavo carries the complete narration (also see below) with accompaniment (playable by/adaptable to organ) and the solo trumpet part (all that’s really needed to perform the piece) along with permission to reproduce the octavo for optional choir/ensemble.
The choral writing involves divisi only at two easily sung cadence points.
And, it can be performed by just the brass and the narrator.
For those who may not know the story:

----
NARRATOR:  Since the mid 1800s the bugle call known today as Taps has heralded rest for the weary, as well as comfort and encouragement in times of deep personal and collective grief.*
* music begins
At about 3:00 p.m. on November 24th 1963, as the nation mourned the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, United States Army Sergeant Keith Clark raised his bugle at Arlington National Cemetery [† with thoughts of I Corinthians 15:51 in mind, “The trumpet shall sound�].
Clearly broadcast throughout the country and around the world, the 6th note of the 24 he played seemed like “a catch in your voice or a swiftly stifled sob� as author William Manchester put it. But, as another observer** noted: “Like the crack in the Liberty Bell, it remains part of our 
national heritage.�

SKU: A0.766981

Composed by Bob Delfausse. Concert,Jazz. Score and parts. 17 pages. Robert Delfausse #5322693. Published by Robert Delfausse (A0.766981).

Bugs Bower composed several volumes of Bop Duets.  Like so many other jazz musicians, my roommate and I spent countless hours playing through the volume we had, him on tenor sax and me on trumpet.  Playing them is a masterclass in jazz phrasing, and studying them is a masterclass in the classic principles of counterpoint.  It's a little bit like a Bach fugue.  You start with a short catchy theme, and then let it go where it wants to go, but always building on that theme.  I allowed myself a third voice here, which allow a little more richness.  See also my Sundry Quartet, which adds a fourth instrument to the same basic music.  Level: advanced intermediate.  Duration: 3 minutes, 12 seconds.

Choral Choir,Choral (SA) - Level 2 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.1395757

By Gerda Blok-Wilson. By Gerda Blok-Wilson. 21st Century,Classical,Contest,Festival,Halloween,Instructional. 16 pages. CanSing #979129. Published by CanSing (A0.1395757).

Gerda Blok-Wilson’s new composition of Emily Dickinson’s “There Came a Wind Like a Bugle� is a lively setting for SA voices with piano accompaniment. It portrays the arrival of a powerful wind and tells of its effects on the surroundings and impending disaster it brings. The piece has an ominous, almost supernatural sense that is driving to the end.

Although the choral or duet piece would work at any time of year, it could set the tone for a Halloween concert, adding an eerie atmosphere and sense of mystery.
