When I told Gil Rose that I had written symphonies for the cities of Paris and Rome, he said Why don’t you do London as your next symphony? I told him, But I’ve never been to London. He said, Well, now you have an excuse to go there. That never happened; going to London, that is. But I was very intrigued about writing a London symphony. So, I decided to go ahead, and instead of London as a travelogue symphony, something I did for Paris and Rome, I came up with an alternative idea. Why not compose a London Symphony in homage to three of my favorite English composers: Benjamin Britten, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Edward Elgar? Symphony No. 9 … My Imaginary London is in three movements with multiple sections within each. 1. Prelude: Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) Moderato Scherzo I Trio I Reprise I Allegretto 2. Interlude: Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) Lento Scherzo II Trio II: Adagio Reprise II Allegro con fuoco 3. Postlude: Edward Elgar (1857-1934) Largo This work is dedicated to my wife and muse, Kristin Beckwith.Enjoy!!!Vido link: https://youtu.be/q0qmqVz9IhwAudio link: https://thomasoboelee.bandcamp.com/album/symphony-no-9-my-imaginary-london-2014

SATB choir (choir divisi) unaccompanied - Moderately Difficult - Digital Download SKU: MQ.8606-E Composed by Joshua Fishbein. 12 pages. E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital #8606-E. Published by E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital (MQ.8606-E). English.The composer has crafted a very literal musical interpretation of this text by Benjamin Britten. For instance, the word “minor� is set in pulsating minor triads. Also, the initials “E. B.� are sung on the pitches E and B. This composition shares similarities with music one might hear performed by a cappella groups on college campuses, such as humming and singing on neutral vowels like “Oh� and “Ah.� Elements of this piece also resemble 20th Century English choral music by William Walton and Ralph Vaughan Williams, in addition to Britten himself. Examples include abruptly distant harmonic changes, shocking cross-relations, and slow triplets that match the rhythm of the English language. Overall, A Prep-School Boy is very much in the spirit of the composer that it honors. Duration: 5:00.

Choral Choir (SA) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.856147 Composed by Trad. Arranged by Liz Garnett. A Cappella,Contemporary,Folk. Octavo. 4 pages. Liz Garnett #3417457. Published by Liz Garnett (A0.856147). I have loved this folk song since I sang Benjamin Britten's arrangement of it for solo voice and piano in my teens. This four-part a cappella arrangement has a lilt that those who know Britten's version will find familiar, but ranges more widely harmonically, moving into a variety of different keys as it passes the melody from lead to bass and finally to tenor.It increasingly explores both diatonic dissonance and chromatic harmonies as the emotional narrative becomes more troubled, evoking the poignancy of the lyric in both the shape of the lines and the way they rub up against each other.Vocal ranges:Tenor: E flat 4 - F5Lead: B flat 3 - C5Bari: B flat 3 - B flat 4Bass: E flat 3 - F4It is notated on two staves, treble and bass alta (i.e. bass clef sounding up an octave)

Brass Ensemble Horn - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.931280 Composed by Henry Purcell. Arranged by Alessandro Macrì. Baroque,Concert,Film/TV,Graduation. Score and parts. 10 pages. Music Macri Editions #6359937. Published by Music Macri Editions (A0.931280). Nell’Inghilterra del XVII secolo la musica ha un ruolo importante nel teatro; canzoni e brevi pezzi per orchestra tengono desta l’attenzione del pubblico all’inizio e alla fine delle rappresentazioni e durante il cambio delle scene.Scritte nel 1695, l’anno della sua prematura scomparsa, le musiche di scena per Abdelazer, o La Vendetta del Moro sono l’ultima composizione di Henry Purcell in questo genere. La fosca tragedia di Aphra Behn, portata sulle scene nel 1676 senza musica, viene riproposta nel 1695 alla riapertura del Drury Lane Theatre. La vicenda di Abdelazer, principe moresco che per vendicare l’assassinio del padre cerca subdolamente di usurpare il trono di Spagna attraverso l’affetto della regina spagnola, viene introdotta da una solenne Ouverture in tonalità minore che ne evidenzia la drammaticità. La tragedia suscita pochi entusiasmi tra il pubblico che, peraltro, apprezza moltissimo le musiche di Purcell e soprattutto la canzone finale Lucinda is bewitching fair, affidata al cantante tredicenne Jemmy Bowen, che viene pubblicata immediatamente come Aria a sé stante; le musiche poi verranno pubblicate postume nel 1697 come suite per archi e basso continuo nella quale l’ordine dei movimenti è differente da quella adottata per l’esecuzione teatrale.La suite è formata da Ouverture, Rondeau, Air I & II, Minuetto, Air, Giga, Hornpipe, Air. Il Minuetto è un pezzo di particolare eleganza, ma è il Rondeau che ha assicurato alla suite fama duratura; questo movimento è alla base della celebre composizione di Benjamin Britten Guida all’orchestra per i giovani, Variazioni e fuga su un tema di Henry Purcell. Il Rondeau, poi, è stato utilizzato come tema per la serie TV della BBC del 1969 The First Churchills e come sottofondo musicale per gioco Intellivision Thunder Castle del 1986; lo troviamo anche nel film di Joe Wright Orgoglio e pregiudizio, eseguito durante il ballo a Netherfield.
