Brass Ensemble - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.767275 Composed by Claudio Monteverdi. Arranged by Mike Lyons. Baroque,Renaissance. Score and parts. 17 pages. Lyons Music Services #3218689. Published by Lyons Music Services (A0.767275). As part of my continuing project to transcribe Monteverdi's madrigals onto winds, here is the 6th book. In this book we see a much greater development towards dramatic representation. In a way, this book is divisible into two Scenes with a number of single items in between. The vocal lines are all much more complex and we can also see the beginnings of monodic writing appear in the semi-recit sections of some of the songs. Also clearly developing are delineations of the voices into soloists and chorus. Several songs in this book are almost akin to arias, with clear soloistic writing for the higher voices (Cantus/Tenor). The first four songs form a kind of introductory 'scena', which Monteverdi calls Lamento d'Arianna. A little later, there is a set of 6 songs which he grouped together under the title Sestina. Here, the song is describing One woman amongst the others, honest and beautiful. Now, there's flattery for you! There is a subtitle to this song Concertato nel clavicembalo - Conducted from the harpsichord. Obviously, this is not possible in this transcription. The continuo part has been incorporated into the rests of all of the parts, without swamping the leading voices. As with all things madrigalian, the lyrics are rife with double entendres. Monteverdi uses some very close dissonances to describe death and release.

Entitled Don't Forget The Albatross!, this delightful, upbeat, easy to perform musical tells the story of Noah And The Ark.  All of us are aware that hurches today need to create ways to reach out to the community and production of this easy to produce musical will go a long way towards that goal.  There are 6 easy to sing two part songs, 7 scenes, a cast of only 9, and charts for piano, bass, drums and flute.  A Director's copy, scene books, vocal charts, charts for piano, bass, drums and flute are all included. I have even included a water color page for you to use on your program.  The cast includes a narrator, Noah and his wife, Noah's three sons and their wives.  The set is easy to create - all that is needed is the side of the ark with a door at the side and a window near the top.  During the song, Two By Two.children dressed as animals enter from the rear of the sanctuary.  This will be a great way to increase your outreach efforts within the community.  Please contact me by email at jfries@ptd.net to make a special request or to find out all that I have to offer and to express your comments or concerns.  You can also type John Fries in the searchbar to see all I have to offer.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1232895 Composed by Fanny J. Crosby and Robert S. Lowry. Arranged by Jeckron Lubis. Christian,Classical,Sacred. Octavo. 13 pages. Jeckron #828524. Published by Jeckron (A0.1232895). This is a hymn that had been sung in Church Worship. It is now arranged in to SATB form. The choir can sing it acappella or cola parte accompanimet by piano/organ, or ensemble.The unique of this arrangement is the emphasis of word painting through harmony and ryhtm variation. I tried to arrange so that peoples (and the chorister) get closer to the text and be reinforced to understand and to live the text.

Recorder - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.999537 Composed by Antonio Vivaldi. Arranged by Thomas Pickering. Baroque. Recorder Ensemble. 33 pages. Thomas Pickering #6274799. Published by Thomas Pickering (A0.999537). Spring from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, arranged for 6 Recorders (SAATBCb). The Four Seasons is very well known, but less well known is that Vivaldi used four sonnets (allegedly written by himself) as a descriptive basis for each concerto. Each movement follows the narrative of the sonnet, and in this arrangement I focused particularly on the way Vivaldi tells the story of the sonnet through the music. I have spent a long time carefully adapting this violin concerto for a recorder ensemble, and have provided ossias to cater for the less experienced player. This should be accessible to any amateur recorder ensemble who is looking for a challenge.

Tenor voice and piano - Medium - Digital Download SKU: MQ.8477-E Composed by Henry Mollicone. 20th Century. Secular, Memorial, 20th Century, Hope/Assurance. Instrument part. 6 pages. Duration 3 minutes, 15 seconds. E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital #8477-E. Published by E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital (MQ.8477-E). English.Crossing the Bar is a favorite poem of mine. Alfred Tennyson's vision of approaching death is both beautiful and profound, expressing both his belief in God and his doubts. The line 'I hope to see my captain face to face,' indicates his lack of certainty (doubts) regarding meeting his 'Captain' (God) in a beautiful and mystical way. I also appreciate his metaphorical use of a quiet sea voyage. The musical setting is meant to be both tranquil and peaceful. -Henry MolliconeDuration: 3:15.
