You Raise Me Up - Advanced Piano Solo

Arranged by Elena Fortin
Music and Words by Brendan Graham & Rolf Lovland

This year, I am continuing to arrange songs that I consider to be important. In order to fit my criteria for arranging, I look for pieces that have stood the test of time, are uplifting, and can be used in many different situations. This one is a favourite of my Mom's so it went on my "To Do list" quite a while ago.

I decided to dedicate it to my Mom and Dad, for giving into my pleadings for music lessons and supporting me all these years.

The arrangement is written for an advanced player because the left hand can be quite challenging. There are many giant leaps and arpeggios all over the piano, including some challenging chord changes and full chords in the right hand. The piece starts in E flat major, but transitions to a F major finish. Each repetition of the melody is changed slightly--there is a challenging section near the end which brings out the melody in a thunderous full arrangement which is really fun to play. Rather than bringing everything to a crashing end though, I moved the melody into a sweet treble that signals a quiet, peaceful ending.

I hope you will enjoy playing this arrangement!

24 all original Flute duets for intermediate to advanced players by Keri Degg. Containing a multitude of styles from Swing, Celtic, contemporary, classical, Rock and more, these are a must have for the intermediate to advanced player wanting to improve their playing.

As the duets are all original, no 'cheating' can take place by already knowing the melodies so good tactical mathematical skills must be employed. Some of the duets zone in on intonation, others on rhythmic precision, or expression. There are a number of light hearted duets in the collection which provide welcome relief amidst exam study work (after all, music should be fun too!).

The duets are designed for 2 C flutes (B foot/feet are not required). Or, for a giggle.... try them on two piccolo's (ear defenders are not included however...).

The duets stick mainly to the keys and note ranges for the given grades but there are occasional exceptions (in our opinion this is good preparation for what is to come ahead) and generally the lower Flute part (Flute 2) is a little easier in standard (although often the melody line will switch from player to player to share the tune and encourage sympathetic listening skills).

Apologies for the (rather poor) audio file; it's a digital interpretation of 'The Chase' - a comedy duet from the collection. They sound amazing on real instruments! There are 23 more duets too remember.

Examples of the included duets include; 'Desert Scape' (with ethereal timbral trills for a shimmering effect), 'The Chase'.... a comedy romp (imagine a cartoon chase; Tom and Jerry etc!), 'Seventh Heaven' a swing jaunt, 'I baroqued it' (a baroque-inspired fast paced duet), plus Celtic flavoured duets and more....

This is the sequel collection to the popular '40 Graded Flute Duets' (Grades 1-5) by Keri Degg. Also available in Saxophone, and clarinet editions.

Are you a late-intermediate or an early-advanced cellist who wants to get better at shifting? Do you want an exciting new way to warm up in lessons or practice sessions? This book can help!

Each exercise duet is followed by a repertoire duet in the same key. Cello positions one through eight, bass and tenor clef, and the keys of C, G, D, A, and E major are used in the duets.

Improve your shifting while playing these energetic exercisesand enjoyable baroque and classical pieces today!

An advanced piano solo arrangement of the 18th variation from Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini by Rachmaninoff.

A lever harp arrangement of Merry Go Round of Life by Joe Hisaishi from Howl?s Moving Castle. It can be tricky to play on the harp but it?s definitely very beautiful! For this arrangement, I tried to preserve as many harmonies as possible. In the video, the tempo played at is around 70bpm (slower than the original) to give enough time for the many lever changes. But the tempo can of course be adjusted according to skill level.

Suitable for advanced intermediate level players on lever harps tuned in Eb major. Sheet music has lever change markings indicated. A guide to the harp octaves has been included in the PDF.

About SMP Press

Claire De Lune by Debussy- needs no words.

I have arranged this firstly in the key of C. I tried to keep as much of the original as possible in terms of detail and some of the difficult octaves and hard to reach chords have been carefully arranged. What I wanted to do was to give intermediate pianists who were perhaps not quite ready for the full version, an opportunity to play a version of it, also for pianists who would appreciate a slightly modified approach.
I didn't want an "easy" version as such,but one that retains the qualities of the original. It is a beautiful piece which can be used for concerts, recitals, weddings,celebrations etc
I have listed this as Advanced intermediate, but it crosses the line to Intermediate on a number of ocassions.

Every school has a talented mallet player. Why not take a great Leroy Anderson tune associated with strings and arrange it for mallet percussion? Why not, indeed . . . in fact, John Ford has arranged it for advanced as well as easy-play mallet percussion (both versions included). This one is a winner! Way to go, John! (2:45)
Section Feature.

Set in its original key of Eb Major, with modulations into F Major and F# Major, this arrangement looks challenging for an advanced Intermediate student at first attempt. However, as you get familiar with the simple chord progressions, all you need to master is the rhythmical pattern of both the left and right hand notes, and you'll be able to play the piece smoothly. Enjoy playing this piano solo arrangement of this beautiful song, "You Raise Me Up" as popularized by Josh Groban.

Here is my piano solo arrangement of John Barry's Somewhere in Time, as performed by pianist Roger Williams for the 1980 movie of the same name. I have adapted most of the important parts of the score but have left the second verse alone (it's where the orchestra takes over). I hope you enjoy listening to and playing this piece. This piece is at an advanced level.

This technical volume is addressed to advanced treble recorder players looking for repertoire that is suited for consistent work on the foundations of their instrumental and musical abilities. In accordance with the original literature for the treble recorder, the exercises are mainly tailored to this instrument. Some technical chapters can be practised on both the treble and descant recorder (with transposed fingering). The term 'technical' must not be misunderstood here: ultimately, the exercises aim at artistic expression, emotion, and tonal interpretation.

This is my advanced arrangement of the Beatles' "Let It Be". I had to get very creative with repeat sections for this piece. You'll find optional harmony notes that you can pluck, adding beautiful chords instead of just the single note melody. However, you can just play the melody notes, if you prefer. Be sure to watch my video on YouTube, where I teach you how to play this piece. .
