Children,Classical,Folk,Praise & Worship,Sacred. Score and individual part. 6 pages. Sharon Wilson #6228755. Published by Sharon Wilson (A0.565802). Here is an easy instrumental duet arrangement (for BOWED PSALTERY solo with PIANO accompaniment) of an excerpt from the classical song Plaisir d’Amour by Jean Paul Égide Martini. This arrangement features the Christian lyrics that is usually considered a children’s song. The psaltery part was designed for a beginning psaltery player and includes only quarter and half notes and no flats or sharps. The piano accompaniment is at the intermediate level. To assist those new to reading music notation, two solo parts are included: one is the standard music notation and includes the lyrics for sing along enjoyment. The second solo part is identical to the standard music but instead of lyrics, the note names are provided below each note (example A, B, C…). The psaltery plays the melody throughout. An optional repeat and second ending is included in case a longer song is desired. A piano accompaniment and/or rehearsal track (MP3 format) is available for this arrangement as a separate purchase: My God Loves Me (Piano Accompaniment Track for Easy Bowed Psaltery Solo).The range of a typical soprano psaltery is two octaves beginning with the G above middle C (G4). However, since some psalteries have fewer than 25 strings, the range for this song is less than 2 octaves. Also, the notes are written an octave lower on the staff to avoid the ledger line notes that would be required to notate the upper notes. The notated range for this song is E4 (the first E above middle C) to F5 (the second F above middle C).The purchase price includes a combined score (grand staff, 3-stave) with both parts (PSALTERY and PIANO) on each page, plus 2 options for the 1-staff solo part (one with lyrics, one with alphabetic note names).

C Instrument - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1495048 By Cream. By Eric Clapton and George Harrison. Arranged by Marcelo Borba. Blues,Folk,Jazz,R & B,Rock. Lead Sheet / Fake Book. 3 pages. Marcelo Borba #1071612. Published by Marcelo Borba (A0.1495048). Part Leadsheet style. Chrods  The song Badge is a famous track that emerged from a collaboration between George Harrison of The Beatles and Eric Clapton, one of the most renowned guitarists in rock. This song is part of the album *Goodbye* (1969) by the band Cream, which Clapton was a member of, along with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. The story behind Badge is interesting and reflects the close friendship between Harrison and Clapton at the time.### Collaboration and CreationGeorge Harrison and Eric Clapton were great friends, and this friendship resulted in several musical collaborations over the years. Badge was written during a session where both were together. Harrison wrote the main part of the song, while Clapton contributed the characteristic guitar riff and melody.### The Title BadgeThe story of the song's title is curious. According to reports, Harrison wrote the word Bridge in the draft of the song to indicate a transition part. Clapton, reading the draft, mistakenly interpreted the word as Badge. They found the confusion amusing and decided to keep Badge as the official title of the song.### Ringo Starr's ContributionRingo Starr, drummer of The Beatles, also participated in the creation of Badge. He contributed a line of lyrics that says, I told you not to wander around in the dark. Starr's involvement in the creation of the song is further proof of the frequent interactions between The Beatles members and Clapton.### Release and ReceptionBadge was released as part of Cream's *Goodbye* album and became one of the album's most memorable songs. Although it was a collaboration, the song is generally credited to Clapton and Harrison. The song is known for its iconic guitar riff and the blend of rock and blues elements.This collaboration between George Harrison and Eric Clapton is an example of how friendship and mutual respect between musicians can result in unique and enduring creations. Badge is a song that is still appreciated by fans of classic rock and highlights the genius of the artists involved.

C Instrument,Folk Instrument,Instrumental Solo,Piano,Treble Clef Instrument,Zither - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.565803 By Sharon Wilson. By Folk Song. Arranged by Sharon Wilson. Folk,Jewish,Multicultural,Praise & Worship,Sacred,World. Score and individual part. 5 pages. Sharon Wilson #6228833. Published by Sharon Wilson (A0.565803). Here is an easy instrumental duet arrangement (for BOWED PSALTERY solo with PIANO accompaniment) of the beloved Hebrew folk song Shalom. The psaltery part was designed for a beginning psaltery player and is written in the key of F major, but contains no sharps or flats. The piano accompaniment is at the intermediate level. To assist those new to reading music notation, two solo parts are included: one is the standard music notation and includes the lyrics for sing along enjoyment. The second solo part is identical to the standard music but instead of lyrics, the note names are provided below each note (example A, B, C…). The psaltery plays the melody throughout. An optional repeat and second ending is included in case a longer song is desired. A piano accompaniment and/or rehearsal track (MP3 format) is available for this arrangement as a separate purchase: Shalom (Piano Accompaniment Track for Easy Bowed Psaltery Solo).The range of a typical soprano psaltery is two octaves beginning with the G above middle C (G4). However, since some psalteries have fewer than 25 strings, the range for this song is less than 2 octaves. Also, the notes are written an octave lower on the staff to avoid the ledger line notes that would be required to notate the upper notes. The notated range for this song is A3 (the first A below middle C) to D5 (the second D above middle C).The purchase price includes a combined score (grand staff, 3-stave) with both parts (PSALTERY and PIANO) on each page, plus 2 options for the 1-staff solo part (one with lyrics, one with alphabetic note names). This arrangement is one of the 10 songs in the collection Hymns and Choruses (A Collection of 10 Easy Bowed Psaltery Solos with Piano Accompaniment).Visit Sharon Wilson’s website: www.SharonWilsonMusic.comSubscribe to her YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/user/SharonWilsonMusic
