String Quartet SKU: HL.14030980 Parts. Composed by Bent Sorensen. Music Sales America. Classical. Set of Parts. Edition Wilhelm Hansen #KP00249. Published by Edition Wilhelm Hansen (HL.14030980). ISBN 9788759871973. 12.0x16.0x0.285 inches. Score available: KP00250 The composer writes: 'Even when I was writing Adieu, I knew that I wished to write Angel's Music. The title existed in an incomplete form in my mind and gradually more and more ideas and a few outlines became clear. The actual work on Angel's Music was started in Rome, where I spent the autumn of 1987 staying at The Danish Academy. Whether this stay has influenced the quartet or not is impossible to say. however, it is true to say that, in the Roman churches I visited, I saw countless angels playing in the top of frescoes and altars. Without these angels, together with the many crackled-gold paintings in this city and my general fascination with the Italian renaissance painter Fra Angelico, (in fact there are only a few paintings by him in Rome, but even his name..!) I am not sure my quartet would have been what it is. Anyway I do feel that there is a bit of Italy in the piece. The angels apart there are, in the short rhythmic agitating part of the quartet, reminiscences of the Italian medieval Trotto dance, and in the most expressive part of the piece there are flashes of Puccini-like music. From the very beginning of my work on the quartet, the distant, extremely muted sound in the high register which opens the piece, was on my mind. A sound satiated with a dense heterophonic and polyphonic texture of elegiac melody and vibrating trills. I imagined that little songs (maybe angel songs) could be created in this density, these songs constantly echoing themselves. Gradually as this sound got a more and more concrete musical and instrumental form, I felt, that not only should the little songs be created, played and die out in an echo, but also that the general pattern of the quartet should give the feeling of music which, from the distance, is getting closer and closer, culminates and at last disappears like an echo. Related to this, the general pattern of Angel's Music is divided into three: a pre-echo, culmination and echo.. The relationship between the three part is 5: 6: 4. The reason why I can say this precisely and prosaically is that it was necessary to me to mark the overall guidelines before I started to compose. I had to do this in order to enable the relationships to crawl from the general pattern almost fractionally into the smallest cells of the music, or more correctly; crawl from the small cells into the general pattern.'. $69.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

SKU: GI.G-10226 Considerations and Techniques for the Advancing Conductor. Composed by Jerry McCoy. Music Education. 264 pages. GIA Publications #10226. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-10226). ISBN 9781622774524. How many times I have overheard a colleague say, ‘I could create a performance like that if I had those voices.’ Maybe so, but here is a book that will help you build healthy technique and ravishing tone that is responsive to the emotional content of the words being sung. —Ann Howard Jones, from the Foreword How do text and music intertwine to build true artistry in choral performance? In Becoming the Choral Poet, esteemed conductor and teacher Jerry McCoy shares how choral conductors can guide their ensembles to deeper artistic expression through an understanding of and commitment to the poetic expression and emotional content of the words they sing. McCoy shows how the poetic elements of a text—punctuation, assonance, onomatopoeia, mood, inflection—inform a host of musical decisions, including dynamics, phrasing, tempo, and color. He follows with guidance for developing an interpretative analysis of a work, using beautiful literature as examples. Central to the book is a chapter on the choral poet’s “mechanics,†or their attributes, skills, and procedures. McCoy addresses a range of topics: Personal and professional characteristics of conductors Auditions Rhythmic integrity Creative seating charts and their uses Rehearsal considerations Characteristics of powerful programming Conducting gestures to build vocal color and expressive shapes Exercises to refine tuning and rhythmic skills  The book’s final chapter presents a collection of short essays from throughout McCoy’s career that aim to strengthen the conductor’s educational approaches, enhance choral performance, and broaden the cultural balance in today’s singing. Becoming the Choral Poet is the culmination of a life’s work in the choral arts. For novice and seasoned conductors alike, this book builds the conductor’s imagination, allowing them to paint with the brush of their singers in rehearsals and concerts that are vocally, artistically, and creatively inspired. Dr. Jerry McCoy is Regents Professor of Music Emeritus for the University of North Texas (UNT), where from 2000–2015 he led the choral program to national and international acclaim while serving as Director of Choral Studies and Conductor of the A Cappella Choir. $27.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

Chamber Music Cajón, Crotales, Glockenspiel, Hi-hat Cymbal, Kalimba, Kick Drum, Marimba, Shaker, Sizzle Cymbal, Suspended Cymbal, Temple Block, Toy Piano, Vibraphone 1, Vibraphone 2 SKU: PR.114424640 Composed by Robert Maggio. Sws. Score and parts. Theodore Presser Company #114-42464. Published by Theodore Presser Company (PR.114424640). UPC: 680160693641. 18 x 12 inches. Everything I Thought I Wanted was composed Fall 2022 through Spring 2023, when I was musing (perhaps more than usual) about my childhood wishes and dreams and trying to translate some of those musings into music. Full disclosure: this is an assignment I typically give my composition students; maybe I thought I’d try my own assignment. Sonically, this influenced the choice of instrumentation, and led to the inclusion of the toy piano, kalimba, glockenspiel, and crotales into the ensemble. Individual movements initially had specific impressionistic titles, though I removed them after they were completed, hoping to inspire more open-minded listening and personal imagery. I am deeply grateful to Doug Perkins, who organized the wonderful consortium of percussion studio teachers around the US to co-commission the work. $56.99 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 2 to 3 weeks | | |
| Geoffrey Burgon: Dos Coros For 12 Solo Voices Or Choir Choral SATB Chester

SATB Choir SKU: HL.14005357 Composed by Geoffrey Burgon. Music Sales America. Sacred. Book [Softcover]. Composed 1999. 40 pages. Chester Music #CH61337. Published by Chester Music (HL.14005357). ISBN 9780711975767. De Algunos Canciones de Juan de la Cruz. This work was commissioned by the BBC for the 10th anniversary of the BBC Northern Singers in 1975. 'Dos Coros is a setting for voices of two poems by the 16th century Spanish mystic St John of the Cross. St John is widely considered to be the greatest of the Spanish mystic poets, because he comes closest to expressing what is usually considered to be inexpressible - mystical experience. His poetry is all about the intense excitement of the union with God, but, paradoxically, the word God is rarely used, and not at all in the two poems set here. Another paradox is that he is able to express great serenity by employing the imagery of rushing water, flight and even drunkenness. If mystical experience is near impossible to convey in words, then maybe it is natural that many composers have taken up the challenge of conveying it in their own medium.'

String quartet and marimba - difficult SKU: HL.49018066 For marimba and string quartet. Composed by Steve Martland. This edition: Folder. Sheet music. Ensemble. Van Gogh's visionary painting The Starry Night provides the title, if not the stimulus, for this music. Rather, personal memories of Africa are recalled and in particular the sound of music and dancing both near and in the distance all taking place under. Set of parts. Composed 2007-2008. Duration 20'. Schott Music #ED13276-10. Published by Schott Music (HL.49018066). ISBN 9790220131592. UPC: 884088567309. 9.0x12.0x0.339 inches. A virtuoso work for an increasingly popular instrumental combination, the title (after Van Gogh's visionary painting The Starry Night) gives a sense of the intensity of this music. Personal memories of Africa are recalled and in particular the sound of music and dancing both near and in the distance all taking place under the vivid starry night sky.
Van Gogh's visionary painting The Starry Night provides the title, if not the stimulus, for this music. Rather, personal memories of Africa are recalled and in particular the sound of music and dancing both near and in the distance all taking place under the vivid starry night sky. So this music is dance music and maybe it tries to emulate the dancing of Van Gogh's gigantic stars. Steve Martland. $68.00 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 24 hours - In Stock | | |
