Abigail's Jig, op. 10 no. 2j Originally composed for flute and piano in 1980 to celebrate the birth of Abby, the composer's daughter, this version for alto saxophone was written in 2017. It attempts to capture the atmosphere of an Irish jig as played by a piper, with a harmonically straightforward piano part, which uses a mixture of 'vamping' and melodic imitation of the sax part. The introduction is intended to be humorous and rather musically misleading, openly parodying the 'cowboy' music of Aaron Copland. Modal harmony helps to create the mood of pseudo-folk music. Cantilena, Op. 11 Cantilena tries to capture a popular flavour, borrowing freely from pop and jazz styles: primary and secondary chords are used in arpeggiated piano figures, as mainstream ballads might do; pedal notes are a feature, especially on the tonic note; and a 'bluesy' style emerges in the third main theme. A pseudo-rock style is twice used in the climax section, which acts as a song-like chorus. Cantilena is in the key of Db major overall, but even the introduction uses 'wrong note' harmony (notably flattened sevenths) to produce ambiguous tonality. The piece, written in 1987, demonstrates a range of tone colour for the sax across a wide melodic range. Five Short Pieces, Op. 9f This set of pieces was originally composed for flute in 1985, and arranged for sax in 2017. They are elaborate transcriptions of To One, five songs to poems by Christina Rees, which convey the countless moods associated with a relationship.

New from Christy and Daniel Semsen and WordKidz, All About That Baby is a delightfully fresh presentation of the blessed story of Jesus' birth.
People everywhere are making the journey to the place of their birth, in compliance with Caesar's decree that everyone should register for the census. This results in the little town of Bethlehem overflowing with people arriving from out of town. Nathaniel, a lovable but scatter-brained, late-for-work shepherd, bumps into two of those travelers, Joanna and Simone, as he rushes to take his shift at watching the flock. The other shepherds (his sisters Miriam and Abigail), along with Judah, are waiting for Nathaniel--late once again--to arrive. Thus begins a story that is All About That Baby, with some shepherds, angels, out-of-towners...and singing, talking sheep to guide us along the way!

Just a year after the English rock band The Zutons had considerable success with Valerie in Great Britain, Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse released a cover version - a version that was funkier, more upbeat and, in typical Winehouse fashion, more soulful, which shot up the charts in many countries. Valerie is surely one of the hits that immortalises the singer who died in 2011 and will find a welcome place in the repertoire of every concert band.

Een jaar na het grote succes dat de Engelse rockband The Zutons in eigen land had met Valerie, verscheen de coverversie van Mark Ronson en Amy Winehouse. Deze vlotte, funky versie in soulstijl, zo typisch voor Amy Winehouse, veroverde in snel tempo de hitlijsten van vele landen. Het is een blijvende herinnering aan de veel te jong overleden zangeres. Met dit arrangement van Valerie presenteren wij een onsterfelijke hit die niet mag ontbreken aan uw repertoire!

Bereits ein Jahr nachdem die englische Rockband The Zutons mit Valerie einen beachtlichen Erfolg in Großbritannien hatten, kam die Coverversion von Mark Ronson und Amy Winehouse heraus. Die funkigere, flottere und - typisch für Amy Winehouse - souligere Version des Songs eroberte rasch die Charts in vielen Ländern. Valerie ist sicherlich einer der Hits, die das Andenken an die 2011 verstorbene Sängerin unsterblich machten und gehört damit in das unterhaltsame Repertoire jedes Blasorchesters.

Une seule année s’est écoulée entre la sortie de la chanson Valerie, interprétée par le groupe de rock anglais The Zutons, qui eu beaucoup de succès au Royaume-Uni, et la reprise de Mark Ronson et Amy Winehouse. Plus funky, plus optimiste et typiquement plus «winehousienne», cette version soul a rapidement conquis les hit-parades de nombreux pays. L’arrangement de Peter Kleine Schaars rend hommage la grande chanteuse décédée en 2011, avec ce titre récréatif et pétillant de fraîcheur !

Appena un anno dopo aver ottenuto un buon successo con Valerie, nell’interpretazione della rock band britannica The Zutons, Mark Ronson la riadattò con suoni jazz e con atmosfere vintage pensando bene di completare il tutto con la bellissima voce di Amy Winehouse. Questa versione si catapultò in vetta alle chart di molti paesi e rimane a oggi un ricordo struggente della straordinaria artista scomparsa nel 2011.
