UPC: 038081531311. Swahili. Traditional Lesotho Lullaby.

A combination of the traditional Lesotho lullaby with some original words and music, this arrangement pairs a simple African text with English lyrics on the same topic. All parts sing in unison first, laying the groundwork for both two and three part canons which soon develop. Legato verses and a hushed bridge provide nice contrast to the form. Choreography is on Alfred's Movin' DVD.

MARS (135X180) inches. English-German-French-Dutch.

The Latin title Ad Fontis means ?to the source?. This lively march in 2/4time follows traditional forms of march composition with a cheerfulopening followed by a somewhat more lyrical trio. This ceremonialgenre of old is often used in the army to keep up the morale of thetroops, however a march can also serve perfectly well to add luster toany concert and bring immense pleasure to the audience.

Ad Fontis is een vrolijke mars in tweekwartsmaat, geschreven door Harm Evers. De Latijnse titel van het werk betekent: naar de bron. Deze mars heeft dan ook geen ingewikkelde vorm, maar bestaat uit een opgewekt eerste gedeelteen een wat lyrischer trio - in de traditie van de marsmuziek. Dit ceremoniële genre wordt van oudsher in het leger gebruikt om het moreel van de manschappen hoog te houden. Een mars kan echter ook uitstekend dienen ter opluisteringvan elk concert - vaak tot groot genoegen van het publiek.

Ad Fontis ist ein lebhafter Marsch im Zweivierteltakt. Unter dem Titel Zur Quelle“ folgt Harm Evers der ursprünglichen, traditionellen Marschform, die sich aus einem lebhaften ersten Teil und einem lyrischen Trio zusammensetzt. Dieses zeremonielle Genre wird von Alters her in der Armee eingesetzt, eignet sich jedoch auch wunderbar dazu, einem Konzert mehr Glanz zu verleihen - nicht zuletzt zum Vergnügen des Publikums.

Ad Fontis (“ la source”) est une marche pétillante en 2/4 signée Harm Evers. Cette marche s’appuie sur une structure simple : une première partie pleine de vivacité et un trio lyrique qui s’inscrit dans les traditions des grandes marches. Ce genre musical cérémonieux fut prisé par l’armée pour maintenir le moral des troupes. Aujourd’hui, la marche apporte une touche de brillance tout programme de concert - pour le plus grand plaisir du public.

The setting sun serves as the inspiration for this introspective and serene choral work. An elegantly simple melody is harmonized beautifully with block chords in chorale style. Expert choral writing makes it smoothly singable, allowing three-part choirs to concentrate on finer points of artistry and expression.

With likely origins in the southern China provinces, the soothing pentatonic melody of this traditional folk song is reminiscent of the simple beauty of a white jasmine blossom. This lovely choral setting, layered with independent voice lines, is effective with the shimmering piano accompaniment or the optional string orchestra parts.

Like a cozy sweater on a cold day, this original wintertime poem juxtaposes warmth with chills. Imagine the opening descending motive as the first falling flake and the eventual musical layers as accumulating snow. Each voice part sings in the sweet spot of their tessitura to garner rich choral tone. A harmonically vivid bridge creates contrast and offers a flurry of beauty in the piano, as singers realize the beautiful snowflakes are fleeting, all too soon they fade away. Delicate yet deep, simple yet stunning. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

An emblem that transcends cultures, religions, and time periods, the flickering candle offers a message of joy, hope, and peace that can reach every human heart. Start with the spark of a single voice on the opening solo, and then light your choir's inner flame when the entire group joins. Simple, with a folk-like quality; artful, as the composer explores dark versus light, major versus minor.

This darling little charmer reads like step-by-step instructions for assembling a jigsaw puzzle. Andy's writing provides the perfect lesson plan to teach part-singing: Part II sings an eight-bar melody, Part I sings their complementary eight bars, the two combine, we add some simple parallel harmony on the refrain, and voilà! Teachers will thoroughly appreciate the easy-to-play piano part and compact vocal ranges (no one sings higher or lower than a D). In a surprise, not-so-hidden message, the lyrics explain that the pieces are scattered, not broken, and though they have come apart, when they fit back together, we'll have a wonderful work of art. It's a double metaphor about points of view, or voice parts, coming together.

Richard Lane dedicated with pleasure smaller works to friends or students. All have his caracteristic musical signature, a synthesis between charm and an exceptional sense for melodic and harmonic forms. Few are the composers able to write simple, easier works avoiding any banalities while preserving their personal style. Richard Lane was a great master in that art.

A strong, bold piece built on fanfare gestures, this piece for very beginning strings uses techniques within the grasp of students with as little as ten weeks of study on an instrument.
A majestic piece that should bring about the feeling of pride with its ceremonial and celebratory nature. The piece begins with a fanfare gesture using open harmonies, that leads to a sweeping main theme. There is a more subdued and lyrical second theme, followed by some interplay between sections. The fanfare material from the beginning serves as the transitional glue along with the intro and outro for the pieceto tie it all together.The piece is written for the youngest of students in mind with minimal notes and simple repeated eighth-note rhythms. As with all of my piece for beginning students, it is up to you, the teacher, to adjust the tempo of the piece to the needs of your students. My tempo marking is merely a suggestion.It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to write this piece. I hope you and your students enjoy it and find it useful for your program.—Larry ClarkLakeland, FL 2016.
