French Horn,Piano - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1317758 Composed by James M. Guthrie. 21st Century,Contemporary,Romantic Period. Score and part. 6 pages. Jmsgu3 #906440. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.1317758). The musical form of Chaconne is a type of composition that involves variations on a repeated short harmonic progression, often involving a reasonably short repeating bassline or harmonic progression. It is a continuous variation, usually in triple meter, and is generally characterized by a short, repeating bass line or harmonic progression. The Chaconne is a dance form within the Baroque period often found as a component of Baroque dance suites. It is a slow, stately Baroque dance often used to convey intense emotions, ranging from joy and celebration to melancholy and contemplation. The Chaconne form, similar to that of the passacaglia, was used by composers in the Baroque period and later. Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Chaconne� from the Partita in D Minor for unaccompanied violin is an example of the masterly use of the Chaconne as a variation form. François Couperin’s harpsichord music includes many chaconnes en rondeau, such as “La Favorite�. Later composers revived the form, including Johannes Brahms, in the last movement of his Fourth Symphony.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1084615 Composed by Alan Bullard. Children,Christmas,Classical. Octavo. 36 pages. Colne Edition / BullardMusic #688801. Published by Colne Edition / BullardMusic (A0.1084615). A seasonable celebration for SATB choir, optional youth choir and narrator, with piano (or brass quintet, or string quintet, score and parts available from www.colneedition.co.uk). Duration c. 25-30 minutes. This 8-movement cantata contrasts the cooking of the Christmas dinner with more reflective Christmas themes, with an opportunity for the audience to join in at the end. Ideal for Christmas concerts. We welcome you to our ‘Feast for Christmas’.  In the first movement, Christmas Welcome, the scene is set: but the key to a successful Christmas dinner is forward planning and in the second movement the Christmas Pudding is prepared in November, on ‘Stir-up Sunday’. In the third movement, Christmas Eve, the early twentieth century poet Robert Bridges looks back, on a frosty evening, from his own time to the very distant past, and considers what Christmas means to him. Then in the fourth movement, our Christmas Feast is prepared, and the Christmas Grace (fifth movement) is not forgotten.  It is of course impolite to sing during the actual Christmas Dinner itself, but towards the end of the meal the peace is rudely interrupted by the sixth movement, Christmas Crackers. The seventh movement, Christmas Spirit, reminds us, in seventeenth-century words, of how we should share our good fortune with those who have need of it, and in the last movement, Christmas Celebration, the audience is invited to join in, with the last verse of the well known ‘We wish you a merry Christmas’ Some separate movements are also available: Christmas Recipe, Festival (Christmas) Grace, and Christmas Celebration.
