Kevin G. Pace #980616. Published by Kevin G. Pace (A0.1397300). A gorgeous choral composition with music by Kevin G. Pace and text by Mark R. Fotheringham.Text:Jesus was a humble man, who prayed to God each day. On His knees before the throne of grace, He sought the way. He spoke as one who knew His God, both faith and knowledge sure, Reaching out to seek His will with heart and spirit pure. His simple words belied the strength and power of his prayer, Which e'er sought to lift and bless all others who were there. His voice would bring on tears of joy from those who knew The Son, Asking Father's blessing that His friends with Him be One. He might ask for miracles to heal or raise the dead. When compassion filled his heart, to prayer His heart was lead. His gratitude would overflow and God's pow'r was revealed. Giving glory unto God, the gift on Him was sealed. May the prayers of Christ be heard and pondered in each heart, Helping us to lift and bless, in service do our part. Then lift our voices unto God, His will to seek and do. Humble prayer, like Christ our Lord's, will lead us straight and true.

Woodwind Ensemble Bass Clarinet,E-Flat Clarinet - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.581878 Composed by John Gibson. Contemporary. 66 pages. JB Linear #3007591. Published by JB Linear (A0.581878). Canons Firing From an Ever Rising Staircase, Or, Heed the Effer's Frantic Calls  This is the 1st movement of a piece for clarinet choir written by John Gibson called Klarifications. The complete is also available. This movement is set for solo Eb clarinet; Bb clarinets 1,2, and 3; 2 Alto clarinets (with alternate Bb parts); 2 Bass clarinets; Bb Contrabass clarinet (with an alternate Eb Contra Alto part). To explain the title just a bit, the ever rising staircase is an aural trick that, if done precisely, sounds like the music keeps rising without really doing so.  This was derived from what is called a Shepard's Tone. The canons firing are not cannons! The bass instruments play small sections of actual canons (like fancy rounds) written by J S Bach, Mozart, and others. Each time the solo Eb clarinet (the Effer) announces the coming canon firing in a frantic sort of way.  Considering the Eb clarinet part, and the need for the Bb clarinets to carry the rising staircase, this is for an advanced group. It runs a little over 3 minutes in length. The recording is computer generated, although I plan to record a live version someday.

Woodwind Ensemble Contrabassoon,English Horn,Flute,Oboe,Piccolo - Digital Download SKU: A0.830661 Composed by Maurice Ravel. Arranged by Richard Byrnes. Contemporary. 39 pages. Richard Byrnes #3412083. Published by Richard Byrnes (A0.830661). Le Gibet is the second movement from Maurice Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit. This version adds 2 piccolo, a flute and a contrabassoon to a double reed choir (2Picc,Fl,3Ob,2EH,4Bn,Cbn). The gibet was a hook (gibbet), usually found near the entrance of a medieval town upon which some law offender would be suspended so as to warn visitors and the inhabitants not to offend. The ostinato throughout serves as a reoccurring focal point, much like the constant swing of the hook in the wind. It's dark, foreboding, and absolutely beautiful. This will challenge your ensemble to determining how loud pianissimo is.Please peruse the pages and listen to the recording of the score that is offered in determine whether this arrangement can work for your ensemble.In addition to Le Gibet by Ravel, we offer works by J.S. Bach, Debussy, Fauré, Glinka, Gottschalk, Granados, Lotti, Mozart, Richard Strauss, and Turina.
