Contemporary,Folk,Romantic Period,Standards. 18 pages. Regis Bookshar #6533959. Published by Regis Bookshar (A0.813842). Largo (from Symphony No. 9 in E minor) (From the New World) (Db) (Woodwind Quintet) - Intermediate - Digital Download. This marvelous arrangement of the Largo, based on the second movement of Antonin Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 in E minor, would be a fabulous addition to any music library and could be performed for concerts, recitals and church services, especially Funerals, but would be appropriate any time during the church year. This arrangement is suitable for high school and college students but professional musicians would also enjoy playing this selection. Included are a score and a complete set of parts (18 pages). This selection is one of the many arrangements from the The Regis Bookshar Trumpet Ensemble's extensive music library which are being made available for the first time.Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Op. 95 (subtitled From the New World and popularly know as the New World Symphony), was composed by Antonin Dvorak in 1893 while he was the director of the National Conservatory of Music of America from 1892 to 1895. It premiered at Carnegie Hall in New York City on December 16, 1893 and has been described as one of the most popular of all symphonies. The second movement of the symphony, upon which this arrangement is based, is marked Largo, and begins with a harmonic progression of chords which is then followed by a solo instrument playing the famous main theme.Dvorak was interested in Native American music and the African-American spirituals he heard in North America. While director of the National Conservatory he encountered an African-American student, Harry T. Burleigh, who sang traditional spirituals to him. Burleigh, later a composer himself, said that Dvorak had absorbed their spirit before writing his own melodies. Dvorak stated:    I am convinced that the future music of this country must be founded on what are called Negro melodies. These can be the foundation of a serious and original school of composition to be developed in the United States. These beautiful and varied themes are the product of the soil. They are folk songs of America and your composers must turn to them.He further explained how Native American music influenced his symphony:  I have not actually used any of these (Native American) melodies. I have simply written original themes embodying the peculiarities of the Indian music, and, using these themes as subjects, have developed them with all the resources of modern rhythms, counterpoint, and orchestral colour.In 1893, a newspaper interview quoted Dvorak as saying, I found that the music of the negroes and of the Indians was practically identical, and that the music of the two races bore a remarkable similarity to the music of Scotland. Most historians agree that Dvorak is referring to the pentatonic scale, which is typical of each of these musical traditions.Dvorak was influenced not only by music he heard, but also by what he had seen, in America. He wrote that he would not have composed his American pieces as he had if he had not seen America. It has been said that Dvorak was inspired by the wide open spaces of America, such as the prairies he may have seen on his trip to Iowa in the summer of 1893. Notices about several performances of the symphony include the phrase wide open spaces about what inspired the symphony and/or about the feelings it conveys to listeners.The theme from the Largo was adapted into the spiritual Goin' Home (often mistakenly considered a folk song or traditional spiritual) by Dvorak's pupil, William Arms Fisher, who wrote the lyrics in 1922. Regis Bookshar thought it would be wonderful if other instrumentalists could have the opportunity to play this beautiful melody, so, in addition to this version for a Woodwind Quintet, consisting of 1 Flute, 1 Oboe, 1 Clarinet, 1 French Horn and 1 Bassoon, he has made quite a few other arrangements of this.

Instrumental Solo,Piano and Keyboard - Level 5 - Interactive Download SKU: A0.1281392 Composed by Alta Mihartescu. This edition: Interactive Download. Classical. Individual part. 18 pages. Duration 127. Alta Mihartescu #48bYy1p4UyCAz5nZym0MPG. Published by Alta Mihartescu (A0.1281392). Key: C major.Eddies of Time is a captivating contemporary piano piece that defies traditional musical boundaries. Composed using 20th-century techniques, it eschews conventional meter, offering a fluid and unanchored exploration of time and space. The title itself, Eddies of Time, evokes images of swirling currents and ceaseless motion. This imagery is masterfully translated into sound, as the piece flows and undulates without the constraints of a fixed rhythmic structure. The absence of meter allows for a more organic and intuitive connection between the performer and the music, creating a unique and immersive listening experience. Drawing inspiration from avant-garde composers of the 20th century, the piece employs extended piano techniques, such as inside-the-piano playing, unconventional fingerings, and the use of various objects to alter the instrument's timbre. These techniques contribute to a rich and complex sonic palette that challenges traditional notions of melody and harmony. The structure of Eddies of Time is equally unconventional, with sections that ebb and flow, mirroring the natural movement of water. Themes are introduced, then reappear in altered forms, creating a sense of continuity and transformation. The composer's use of dissonance and atonality adds to the piece's modern character, providing tension and release in unexpected ways. Performing Eddies of Time requires not only technical prowess but also a deep understanding of the emotional and philosophical underpinnings of the work. The pianist must navigate the score with sensitivity and intuition, allowing the music to unfold naturally, like the eddying currents of a river. In Eddies of Time, the listener is invited to embark on a musical journey that transcends conventional form and meter. It's a piece that resonates with the restless spirit of the 20th century, reflecting a world in constant flux and a timeless fascination with the mysteries of existence.

Piano,Trumpet - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1028166 Composed by Graeme Culpepper. Contemporary. Score and part. 47 pages. Graeme Culpepper #6866343. Published by Graeme Culpepper (A0.1028166). Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra Composer: Graeme Culpepper Year: 2022   Program Notes: I feel that there is a time in every composer's life when they decide to write a concerto. Writing a concerto is as intriguing as it is difficult, as finding a balance between soloist and ensemble can prove to be a tricky task. What’s more, is deciding upon said ensemble. In today’s musical climate, the supporting ensemble can be a variety of different instrumental groups ranging from a chamber ensemble consisting of just a few musicians to a full symphony orchestra. In my humble opinion, with a genre as grand as a concerto, especially one involving the trumpet, I find it fitting to use the orchestra to accompany the trumpet. However, I opted to use an orchestra without a trumpet section to better support the soloist. This concerto’s first movement is built upon a couple of form-defining motifs. One in the form of an ostinato that is constantly changing meter, and another that is a simple short rhythmic cell that is able to fit in a variety of different textures throughout the movement. This movement also introduces the main motif throughout the entire concerto: a melodic sequence consisting of a minor third, a perfect fifth, followed by another minor third which resolves down by half step. This is the unifying motif of the entire concerto. I often ponder as to where the material in the second movement came from. After a long time of reflection, I have come to the conclusion that it is a subconscious expression of myself that comes from deep within. The second movement is perhaps the most vulnerable I have ever been with any of the music I have written, and the experience I personally have when listening to it is one that is very intimate. The third movement is a thrilling romp that is entirely built on the unifying motif mentioned earlier. The whole movement is essentially one big variation of itself. This movement is arguably the most technical and gives the trumpet soloist a great opportunity to show off their skill. This movement is also built upon a one-bar rhythmic ostinato so that the tension in this movement is never fully resolved until the very last bar, in hopes that this will keep the listener on their toes at all times.  Performed live in Recital Hall at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music on March 1st, 2022Purchase includes Full Score + Solo Trumpet Part.

Carillon,Instrumental Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1301689 By Duke Ellington and his Orchestra. By Duke Ellington, Irving Mills, and Juan Tizol. Arranged by Michael Gancz. 20th Century,Broadway,Film/TV,Jazz,Latin,Musical/Show. Individual part. 8 pages. Michael Gancz #891301. Published by Michael Gancz (A0.1301689). Caravan is one of Duke Ellington's (1899-1974) most famous compositions—although he didn't actually write it. That credit goes to Puerto Rican trombonist Juan Tizol (1900-1984), a member of the Ellington's big band from 1929 to 1944. Tizol composed the theme in 1936 and promptly sold the rights to lyricist Irving Mills for only $25. The song became an instant hit—jazz critic Ted Gioia expllains that it fit perfectly with the musical exoticism that patrons were demanding at [Ellington's] regular gig at the Cotton Club in Harlem. Indeed, much jazz from this era, especially Ellington's, was steeped in Orientalist aesthetics. Although we hear it now as a self-contained musical phenomenon, we must acknowledge this music's problematics even as we continue to celebrate its progressive and revolutionary qualities. Part of my interest in this piece is in its capacity as a vessel in which I can explore my own multiform identity as an expatriate of the Middle East, a carillonist, and a lover of jazz. This arrangement reflects what might happen when these three perspectives collide. Ellington recorded Caravan more than 100 times, and the names of its additional interpreters reads as a history of jazz itself: Thelonious Monk, Art Blakey, Nat King Cole, Dizzy Gillespie, Wynton Marsalis and dozens more all brought their own spin to the tune. What makes it particularly special, though, is its appeal to listeners outside the jazz fandom. The 2014 film Whiplash introduced mass audiences to the song's unique atmosphere and to the genius of the Duke and his sidemen, thanks to an outstanding big band arrangement by John Wasson. My setting of the tune for the carillon recalls both Duke and Tizol's original version and this more recently popular edition.In this arrangement, I hope to highlight the carillon's capacity as a percussion instrument, and to use this as a bridge into the world of jazz. A successful interpretation will focus on groove, stratification of voices, and balance. Try to keep the pedals light!Michael Gancz2023Sources:Gioia, Ted (2012).

This is an extremely flashy, brash piece that calls to mind a gang of motorcyclists revving and showing off for each other (or, according to a listener who had not heard the title, a wizard battle).  The dissonance and meter changes make for a challenging read, but it's extremely fun to play once it settles into the hands. Early advanced level.

Bassoon Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.998809 Composed by Robert A. Howard. 21st Century,Contemporary,Standards. Individual part. 2 pages. Robert A. Howard #6072425. Published by Robert A. Howard (A0.998809). This short solo bassoon piece takes its name from the classic surrealist painting by the Belgian artist Rene Magritte (1937). A person, facing away from the observer, looks into a mirror. The reflected image (in the mirror) is not the person's face, as we would expect. Instead, we see a duplication of their back. This person remains faceless. Other minor objects are, however, correctly reflected in the mirror, in order to heighten the 'illusion'. A solo bassoon represents the lonely, solitary and isolated character of the painting. Musical mirror images inform many aspects of the piece, from the overall structure, to the sequence of specific pitches. In keeping with the theme of the artwork, symmetries are suggested, only to be contradicted. The piece remains accessible for the listener and is appropriate for most standards of bassoonist, including students and professional players.

Dance of the Sabbath Witch is full of dark, mysterious energy, perfect for the Halloween season. It uses a driving rhythmic pulse and eerie chromaticism to capture the image of a witch performing her spellbinding dance. The music’s repetitive, hypnotic phrases give it a ritualistic feel, while the chromatic twists and turns keep the listener on edge. The mood shifts between suspenseful and almost chaotic, perfectly matching the Halloween theme.This piece would suit advanced pianists. It demands a strong command of chromaticism, fluidity in shifting rhythms, and control over dynamics and phrasing to convey the eerie atmosphere. The piece also requires good technical proficiency to manage its fast-paced passages, making it a challenging yet rewarding work for skilled players looking to explore dramatic mood shifts and intense character portrayal.
