Imagine a campfire! Envision sitting around the bright flames with your friends and family singing songs out in the great expanse. Imagine that those melodies you sing stir up joy, hope, and belief in the great wonders of the world. Melodies have connected different kinds of people for many, many years. Music brings us closer, and music makes any occasion more festive and memorable. This book was written to promote the love of old folk melodies, provide processional music for special celebrations, and to include players of all levels. Music educators will find that there are many possibilities and combinations for practice and performance. Includes a 16-page pull-out section of twelve selected pieces for an optional cello part.

It is my great hope that music students, families, and educators will all enjoy this very special collection of Beautiful Melodies from Around the World.

String Quartet

SKU: FG.55011-553-8

Allerheiligentag III. Composed by Jyrki Linjama. Classical. Score and Parts. Fennica Gehrman #55011-553-8. Published by Fennica Gehrman (FG.55011-553-8).

Jyrki Linjama's second string quartet (2018) is subtitled Allerheiligentag III. The material for the Allerheiligentag cycle is a Finnish folk chorale for All Saints' Day (no. 146 in the Finnish Hymn Book). The first work in the cycle is a string trio (2007), the second a piece for orchestra (2009), and the fourth and fifth are solo works for viola da gamba and violin.The composer tells: The choice of topic and material for the string trio was originally prompted by the venue at which it was to be premiered: the old church on the island of Seili (Sjalo). The bleak history of the island's leper and mental hospital evoked images of suffering and death. I got so attached to the harsh and beautiful melody that it began to generate a whole cycle. The string quartet is in three movements (slow-quick-slow) tensed in different ways by contrasts. The first movement has both swinging softness and cutting sharpness, the Scherzo the wildness of a dance of death and lyricism, and the finale the irrevocability of a funeral march and tender melodiousness.

Viola and piano (Viola With Piano Accompaniment) - easy

SKU: HL.49019223

For viola and piano. Composed by Bertold Hummel. This edition: Saddle stitching. Sheet music. String Solo. Softcover. Composed 1999. Nach op. 103b. 12 pages. Duration 3'. Schott Music #VAB78. Published by Schott Music (HL.49019223).

ISBN 9790001181747. UPC: 884088907389. 9.0x12.0x0.083 inches.

With his 'Concerto classico' composed in 1999, Bertold Hummel enables violin pupils with only limited technical skills to play an entire little violin concerto. The second movement, Elegy, is now also available as a separate edition for viola and piano. The melody of the Finnish folk song forming the thematic foundation of the movement is melancholy and gentle: a short simple theme which is introduced and then varied several times. To master this piece, it is sufficient for the violist to command the first position, and the piano part is easy to play as well. An ideal piece for pupils, competitions and for music-making at home.

Fanfare Band - Grade 4

SKU: BT.GOB-000832-020

Arranged by Peter Martin. Set (Score & Parts). 74 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000832-020. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000832-020).

'Gaudete' comes from the Finnish/Swedish 'Piae Cantiones', a collection of religious music from the 16th century. The English folk group 'Steeleye Span' featuring female lead singer Maddy Prior had a hit with this song in the seventies. Peter Martin made a scintillating arrangement for wind-band. By the use of fourths and thirds in the melody the composer harks back to the period from which the song originated (The Middle Ages)

'Gaudete' is afkomstig uit het Fins/Zweedse 'Piae Cantiones', een verzameling van religieuze muziek uit de 16e eeuw. De Engelse folk groep 'Steeleye Span' had in de zeventiger jaren een hit met dit lied. Peter Martin maakte eensprankelend arrangement voor blaasorkest. Door het gebruik van kwarten en kwinten in de melodie grijpt de componist terug naar de tijd waarin het lied ontstaan is (Middeleeuwen).
