The straight-to-the-point five-note refrain with four-part choral harmony is an easy learn for your singers and assembly. Rudy always creates ear-catching yet convincing musical twists in his works, as you will hear in this piece. Verses 1 and 2 are slightly syncopated in contrast to the refrain, while verse 3 calls for the choir to hum under the cantor's proclamation as a vocal descant echoes above. The optional final refrain can be performed as a canon at four-, two-, or one-measure intervals. This distinctive ending makes pure physical sense and is fun to sing as well.

An incredible training chart for young jazz ensembles. Includes a number of basic swing concepts in a chart which isn’t too hard and allows inexperienced players to concentrate on the style. No solos, but does have spots for some short drum fills and there’s a written Basie style piano tag on the end. Andy’s charts always sound big and full and this one is especially nice! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

A warm and richly scored setting of the popular Christmas carol Bring a Torch Jeanette, Isabella, this full sounding arrangement will greatly enrich seasonal programming. Roy Phillippe has employed a broad palette of harmonic and instrumental colors to craft a memorable holiday selection.
Bring a Torch is a lovely Christmas carol. Using techniques such as suspensions, re-harmonization and modulations, my goal is to provide an interesting showcase for this familiar melody. the introduction in F major features sustained violins with a pattern of moving eighth notes in the violas and cellos. This pattern recurs throughout the piece. The first statement of the melody is in the first violins. The second violins supply harmonic support along with the viola/cello pattern. Measures 13-29 feature a section of tutti chordal playing. Measure 30 crescendos into the modulation to D major at m. 32. Here, the dynamic is forte, and the viola/cello pattern returns. At m. 40, the violas and cellos have the melody with violin accompaniment. A crescendo begins at m. 44 and builds to fortissimo at m. 48, featuring a modulation to G major. At this point the melody should soar. A descrescendo at m. 60 is followed by a ritard at m. 64. The final four measures are in the original tempo ending on a tutti chord.Careful attention to dynamics, especially in the accompanying parts, will result in a fine performance.

This exciting piece will help orchestra students soar to new heights! The brisk, consistent tempo will keep all players engaged as they alternate playing the two main themes. Light staccato accompaniments offer the opportunity to practice a brushed bow stroke, and Violin I and Bass sections will encounter some easy shifting. Accented syncopation with ties across the bar are performed in all sections, perfect for refining subdividing skills. This piece was inspired by the sight of a majestic falcon flying effortlessly over the scenic landscape of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia.
