Word Book. Composed by Anne Conlon and Peter Rose. Libretto, Vocal, Repertoire. African Jigsaw. Softcover Book. Josef Weinberger #M570053971. Published by Josef Weinberger (HU.M570053971). 0.4 x 0.4 x 0.4 inches. African Jigsaw looks at the problem of urbanisation, its effects on traditional tribal African life and the casualties left in its wake. Africa's shanty towns are home to the victims of 'progress'. Many have abandoned their tribal traditions as the land has failed to support them and their families. They are drawn by the material attraction of the cities and arrive with great hopes of work and prosperity. But many are disappointed and can only eke out a humiliating existence in the shanty towns. For the sad fathers and mothers they leave behind on the land, there is a growing realisation that the old way of life is slowly dying out. African Jigsaw concerns a problem facing all developing countries and does not pretend the solution is a simple one. But seeing the pieces of the jigsaw may help young and old alike to come to an understanding of the situation and, perhaps, to draw their own conclusions on its rights and wrongs.

High Voice and Orchestra

SKU: HL.14020965

Composed by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies. Music Sales America. 20th Century. Score. Composed 1999. 92 pages. Chester Music #CH60950. Published by Chester Music (HL.14020965).

The story centres on the English princess Caroline Mathilde (1751-1775), sister of George III, who at the age of 15 was sent to Denmark to marry the 17-year-old eccentric and schizophrenic Danish King, Christian VII. The ballet portrays her unhappy marriage, the King's growing madness and her fatal love-affair with Struensee, the King's influential physician, which leads to their arrest, his execution and her exile, at the age of 20, separated from her two young children. This suite begins with the act's opening number: a boisterous, stamping dance to which the people rudely mock Queen Caroline Mathilde and her lover Struensee. After this comes a dark Adagio, The Conspiracy, in which the theme passes like persuasion from mouth to mouth, its variations suggesting the different attitudes of the conspirators, firmly controlled by the brass-driven gestures of the Queen Dowager. The conspiracy then works itself out at a court masked ball, from which the suite includes two dances: a gavotte, and a slow, lubricious passacaglia that is a pas de deux for Caroline Mathilde and Struensee. The Arrest comes with a gathering rush of music that envelops the King, the Queen and Struensee, leading to a vociferous climax in which they are held apart. In The Execution, slow white music for wordless female voices, harp and low strings is interrupted by pathetic, alienated outbursts from the King. The suite ends, as does the ballet, with a quiet adagio lament for clarinets and alto flute as the Queen goes into exile. Score. Duration c. 33mins.

Grade 2

SKU: CL.024-4824-01

Composed by Romeyn. Young Concert Band. Extra full score. C.L. Barnhouse #024-4824-01. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.024-4824-01).

On Wings Of Glory is a bold and celebratory concert opener of impeccable quality and style for young bands. A bright and authoritative opening fanfare leads to a memorable melodic theme. As the music continues, this theme grows and develops, with added flourishes, countermelodies, and changing textures. The piece then ends as it began, in a shimmering, celebrative style, but even more powerfully. A natural for concert or festival performances, On Wings Of Glory is also appropriate for graduations, sporting events, or any other event where a celebratory piece is called for. Truly outstanding!

Choral (SATB)

SKU: HL.1436077

Composed by Kurt Kaiser. Arranged by Benjamin Harlan. Epiphany House. Octavo. Epiphany House Publishing #EH1081. Published by Epiphany House Publishing (HL.1436077).

UPC: 196288203780.

Kurt Kaiser was the embodiment of what Harold Best once said about J.S. Bach - â??he could look at a blade of grass and see a universe.â? Kurt never stopped growing, believing, learning, and inspiring. He wore many hats and did so with humbleness of spirit and affirmation of all who came into his orbit. Kurt always made as much time for the impressionable young teenager as he did for famous artists with whom he collaborated. â??Come Awayâ? is a healing balm for these unsettling times.

Choir Secular (SAB choir/3-Part choir Mixed)

SKU: AP.48874

Composed by Arr. Performance Music Ensemble; Single Titles. Alfred Choral Designs. Carol Arrangement; Christmas; Sacred. Choral Octavo. 12 pages. Alfred Music #00-48874. Published by Alfred Music (AP.48874).

UPC: 038081561981. English. Ben Cohn.

A Renaissance-era carol brought up to date in a fresh contemporary setting. Veteran Broadway music director and conductor Ben Cohn brings a modern musical theatre sound to this traditional English song. A serenely sparse piano part (during two opening alto solos) gradually grows to a full and glorious accompaniment as more voices join. Listen closely for the juxtaposed stillness/motion and minor/major that symbolize the cold of winter versus the warmth of the season. The entire piece garners edge-of-your-seat wonder, but the greatest chills will come when brief strains from four additional carols trickle in. Simply stunning.
