Orchestra Cello, Contrabass, Piano, Viola, Violin 1, Violin 2, Violin 3 - Grade 1 SKU: CF.BAS80 Composed by Joseph Compello. Beginning String Orchestra (BAS). Set of Score and Parts. With Standard notation. 8+5+8+2+5+5+2+8 pages. Duration 1 minute, 55 seconds. Carl Fischer Music #BAS80. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.BAS80). ISBN 9781491151259. UPC: 680160908752. 9 x 12 inches. Key: E minor. Joseph Compello's Great Plains Saga for the beginning string orchestra students depicts wide open spaces, rugged terrain, and covered wagons heading West through the American plains. Students will love playing this contest selection, written in a minor mode. This piece can be learned in as little as 10 weeks, yet showcases the students' abilities and growth. Great Plains Saga is an easy concert piece for a young string ensemble. The music should be performed in a manner which evokes the rustic openness of the American continent at the time when Native American tribes inhabited it. Accordingly, the music is modal and thus provides an ancient character to the melodies. The first theme appearing at m. 9 consists of six notes. It repeats at m. 17 in the cello part with a countermelody in the violins.  After a brief transition m. 25, the second section begins with a quiet two-measure phrase that is answered forte by the low strings.  This call-and-response episode continues until m. 43 where the transition to the opening theme begins. At m. 49 the director may wish to slow the tempo just a bit to give the music a heavier feel. The coda at m. 57 may be played freely and dramatically. About Carl Fischer Beginning String Orchestra Series This series of Grade 1 pieces is designed for first year string groups. The pieces in this series are characterized by: - Limited parts (often 2nd violin and viola are the same part, cello and bass are same part)
- Limited keys and rhythms - only simple 8th note patterns
- Limited independence of parts
- Playable after limited study time
- First position and natural bowings
- Piano for rehearsal and reinforcement

| Prairie Light Theodore Presser Co.
Dan Welcher’s most enduringly and frequently played orchestral work, Prai...(+)
Dan Welcher’s most enduringly and frequently played orchestral work, Prairie Light is a fascinating musical companion to three of Georgia O’Keeffe’s most unusual paintings, Light Coming on the Plains, Canyon with Crows, and Starlight Night. This work is ideal for performances using visual projections of the paintings, and is frequently programmed for subscription concerts as well as those for educational settings. Duration: 14’ Parts available on rental. This work for full orchestra was inspired by three paintings of the noted Americanartist Georgia O’Keeffe. These three watercolors were done in 1917 while the artist was living in Canyon, Texas (near Amarillo), and deal primarily with color and shape. Consequently, the music is primarily concerned with broad lines and shapes rather than rhythms, with subtle washes of color rather than constant harmonic movement, and with arching melody instead of linear counterpoint.The first movement, Light Coming on the Plains, is an elliptical-shaped painting, deep blue to indigo with a “horizon†at the bottom that seems flat and unchanging. The sun hasn’t risen yet, although it does in the course of this movement, but it seems instead to be providing light from behind the canvas. The music is unmoving in terms of rhythm or harmony (although there is a modulation midway through), a color-infused mantra of sound that is almost Eastern.At the height of the sun, we proceed to the second movement, entitled Canyon with Crows. The canyon is red-orange, with black crows circling above friendly unfolding hills. The music is gentle but lively and more rhythmic, with the birds represented by solo oboe, clarinet, and sometimes flute. Halfway through, the brass have a chorale version of the opening motive, played very slowly, over the unending triplets of woodwinds and strings. At the end of the movement, the birds return for a duo-cadenza, accompanied by the dying rays of the sun in muted strings and the ongoing triplets of the solo quartet.The stage is set for the final movement, Starlight Night. In O’Keeffe’s painting, the stars are represented by regularly-spaced rectangles of bright pale yellow on a blue-black sky, with the same shape to the field of vision and the horizon that is found in Light Coming on the Plains. The stars become audible: harp, celesta, glockenspiel, and string pizzicati all lend a sparkle while a solo flute introduces a slowly unfolding theme. After this theme has been heard twice and the sky has begun to really brighten, there is a sudden interruption: a xylophone and a piano begin another “mantra†in brittle staccato chords. This is the same mechanical eternity as O’Keeffe’s regularly-spaced square stars, and it continues on its own as the night progresses. The music builds and grows as the moon rises and arcs, then falls as the pre-dawn light that opened the work returns to bring it to a close. Acycle of light, changing with the movements of sun, moon, and stars, appearing differently from various points of view

Choral Octavo. Faber Music #12-0571522149. Published by Faber Music (AP.12-0571522149). ISBN 9780571522149. Lat. Predominantly hushed and serene, Plainsongs for Peace and Light proved to be Jonathan Harvey's final work. It sees Harvey reexamining the very fundamentals of his craft, superimposing lines of plainsong, relishing the simple clash of note against note, and creating rich, otherworldly sonorities through an elaborate use of canon. Harvey was a composer who always embraced and sought out the very latest in musical technologies but the simplicity of the a cappella choir became something of a constant to which he returned throughout his life. The piece is for mixed voices of SATB in 16 parts. $5.99 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

Key: D major. The musical effect of Prarie Lullaby should be graceful and serene, evocative of a peaceful night on the open plains. To that end, players will need to strive for an unlabored rhythmic flow, smooth bowing and a clear, steady tone as close to p as possible. Beginning at m.39, the violin and viola parts are marked pizzicato. If young players are unable to return quickly to argo at m.53, they may make the bow preparation easier by taking a full measure rest at m.52. This option is marked in the parts and score. The divisi notes at m. 69 are provided for ensembles which lack violas. Ensembles with violas may have them play the lower notes while the second violins play the upper notes. Percussion, which is completely optional, should be very subdued. Choose a bell mallet which allows the tones to be heard just above the strings. the woodblock part is intended to imitate the clip-clop sound of a horse's hooves. Two different sizes of woodblocks or temple blocks are needed. Finding two suitable sounds on one woodblock is difficult. Again, the right mallets are very important. The suspended cymbal should be played with brushes if the string ensemble is small. If the suspended cymbal with brushes cannot be heard above a large number of strings, then sticks should be used instead. The percussion part can be performed by one player, provided the instruments and mallets are set up properly and the player has the skill to make the transitions smoothly.

Chamber Music Bass Clarinet, Clarinet, Flute, Percussion, Piano, Violin, Violoncello, alto Flute SKU: PR.11441930S Composed by Stacy Garrop. Full score. With Standard notation. 40 pages. Duration 13:15. Theodore Presser Company #114-41930S. Published by Theodore Presser Company (PR.11441930S). UPC: 680160673537. 9 x 12 inches. Written during a residence at an artist community in the isolation of Wyoming, Postcards from Wyoming is an impression of the wilderness and beauty of the surrounding landscape and its inhabitants. Written for Pierre ensemble with percussion, Postcards includes High Plains Prairie (a harsh landscape which reveals glimpses of beauty upon closer examination), Call of the Wild (animals from snakes to horses and cows populate the environment), and The Solitude of Stars (capturing the infinite awe of the night sky). In 2014, I enjoyed a wonderful residence at the Ucross Foundation in Clearmont, Wyoming. Ucross is an artist colony that gives writers, composers, and visual artists the gift of time, space, and support to follow their artistic pursuits; we are provided with studio space, housing, and meals so that we can work almost continuously on our projects. I have been in residence at numerous artist colonies; however, nothing in my previous experiences prepared me for living in such isolated, wild country. Ucross is situated on a 20,000-acre cattle ranch at nearly 4,000 feet in elevation with fewer than 150 people living within the town. But what Clearmont lacks in population, it makes up for abundantly and spectacularly in wilderness and wildlife. Postcards from Wyoming presents three glimpses of what I found to be the most striking aspects of my residence. The first movement, High Plains Prairie, represents the conundrum that is a high elevation landscape: from afar, the eye sees little else than an unending and threadbare horizon. But as one inspects the land up close, the prairie bursts with color provided by sagebrush, grasses, insects, and creeks. The second movement, Call of the Wild, is a tribute to the wide range of animals that reside in the area. Deer, turkeys, and rabbits frequently passed outside of my studio window; cows and sheep lived in fields close by. Snakes, raccoons, and field mice also made guest appearances. While I'm thankful that I didn't see any predators (such as wolves), I became increasingly aware of the wildness of the animal population that surrounded my studio. The Solitude of Stars, the third and final movement, was inspired by the stunning nightly display of the heavens above. Without city lights dimming the night sky, countless stars shone brightly over the vast expanse of the prairie. Postcards from Wyoming was commissioned by the 2016 Utah Arts Festival. -S.G.

ISBN 9781491161180. UPC: 680160919765. Key: Eb major. English. Barter by Sara Teasdale. Life has loveliness to sell, All beautiful and splendid things, Blue waves whitened on a cliff, Soaring fire that sways and sings, And children's faces looking up Holding wonder in a cup. Life has loveliness to sell, Music like a curve of gold, Scent of pine trees in the rain, Eyes that love you, arms that hold, And for your spirit's still delight, Holy thoughts that star the night. Spend all you have for loveliness, Buy it and never count the cost; For one white singing hour of peace Count many a year of strife well lost, And for a breath of ecstacy Give all you have been, or could be. --Barter from Love Songs (1918) by Sara Teasdale Sara Teasdale (1884-1933) was an American poet whose short, personal lyrics are noted for their classical simplicity and quiet intensity. Teasdale was born in St. Louis, Missouri and traveled to Chicago as a young woman, where she grew acquainted with Harriet Monroe and the literary circle around Poetry. Teasdale wrote seven books of poetry in her lifetime and received public admiration for her well-crafted lyrical poetry which centered on a woman's changing perspectives of beauty, love, life, and death. Jacob Narverud (b. 1986) is an American composer, arranger, and conductor. A native Kansan, Jacob is the Founder/Artistic Director of the Tallgrass Chamber Choir, a professional ensemble of musicians from across the Great Plains. Dr. Narverud is a frequent guest lecturer at universities and conferences as well as an active guest conductor/clinician for choral festivals and all-state choirs across the United States.

Chamber Music Bass Clarinet, Clarinet, Flute, Percussion, Piano, Violin, Violonc...(+)
Chamber Music Bass Clarinet, Clarinet, Flute, Percussion, Piano, Violin, Violoncello, alto Flute SKU: PR.114419300 Composed by Stacy Garrop. Set of Score and Parts. With Standard notation. 40+12+12+12+12+12+20 pages. Duration 13:15. Theodore Presser Company #114-41930. Published by Theodore Presser Company (PR.114419300). UPC: 680160673513. 9 x 12 inches. Written during a residence at an artist community in the isolation of Wyoming, Postcards from Wyoming is an impression of the wilderness and beauty of the surrounding landscape and its inhabitants. Written for Pierre ensemble with percussion, Postcards includes High Plains Prairie (a harsh landscape which reveals glimpses of beauty upon closer examination), Call of the Wild (animals from snakes to horses and cows populate the environment), and The Solitude of Stars (capturing the infinite awe of the night sky). In 2014, I enjoyed a wonderful residence at the Ucross Foundation in Clearmont, Wyoming. Ucross is an artist colony that gives writers, composers, and visual artists the gift of time, space, and support to follow their artistic pursuits; we are provided with studio space, housing, and meals so that we can work almost continuously on our projects. I have been in residence at numerous artist colonies; however, nothing in my previous experiences prepared me for living in such isolated, wild country. Ucross is situated on a 20,000-acre cattle ranch at nearly 4,000 feet in elevation with fewer than 150 people living within the town. But what Clearmont lacks in population, it makes up for abundantly and spectacularly in wilderness and wildlife. Postcards from Wyoming presents three glimpses of what I found to be the most striking aspects of my residence. The first movement, High Plains Prairie, represents the conundrum that is a high elevation landscape: from afar, the eye sees little else than an unending and threadbare horizon. But as one inspects the land up close, the prairie bursts with color provided by sagebrush, grasses, insects, and creeks. The second movement, Call of the Wild, is a tribute to the wide range of animals that reside in the area. Deer, turkeys, and rabbits frequently passed outside of my studio window; cows and sheep lived in fields close by. Snakes, raccoons, and field mice also made guest appearances. While I'm thankful that I didn't see any predators (such as wolves), I became increasingly aware of the wildness of the animal population that surrounded my studio. The Solitude of Stars, the third and final movement, was inspired by the stunning nightly display of the heavens above. Without city lights dimming the night sky, countless stars shone brightly over the vast expanse of the prairie. Postcards from Wyoming was commissioned by the 2016 Utah Arts Festival. -S.G.

Fanfare Band - Grade 4 SKU: BT.GOB-000808-020 Composed by Carl Wittrock. Set (Score & Parts). 62 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000808-020. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000808-020). As he did before in the often played and commonly appreciated ‘Lord Tullamore’, in which he poetically depicted the landscape and the cultural elements of a small Irish village, in his composition ‘The Road to the West’ Carl Wittrock has sketched pioneer existence in America in a cinematic manner. In ‘The Road to the West’ the composer has tried to capture images of pioneer life during the period dating from 1850 to 1890, the days of the so-called Wild West. In those days, the Wild West used to be the territory west of civilization, the domain of cowboys, trappers, and other fortune hunters. In short, ample ingredients for a captivating story.
In the firstscene a lonely adventurer struggles against nature and the elements. After an exciting adventure he passes through ‘the Plains’, where majestic views alternated by colossal mountain ranges display an almost unimaginable beauty. After weeks of isolation civilization is reached again. ‘The Saloon’ is the perfect meeting place here news is exchanged and hilarious scenes regularly take place.
In navolging van het veel gespeelde en alom gewaardeerde ‘Lord Tullamore’, waarin Carl Wittrock op poëtische wijze landschap en culturele elementen van een Iers dorpje verklankt, wordt in ‘The Road to the West’ op filmische wijzehet pioniersbestaan in Amerika geschetst. De componist betreedt in ‘The Road to the West’ het pionierspad in de periode tussen 1850 en 1890, de tijd van het Wilde Westen. Het Wilde Westen was het gebied ten westen van de beschaving,het domein van cowboys, pelsjagers en andere gelukzoekers. Genoeg ingrediënten voor een boeiend verhaal.
In de eerste scene gaat een avonturier, eenzaam en alleen, de strijd aan met de natuur en de elementen. Na een spannend avontuur trekt hij door ‘the Plains’, waar de weidse vergezichten, afgewisseld door kolossale bergformaties een bijna niet onder woorden te brengen schoonheid tentoonspreiden. Na weken van eenzaamheid komttenslotte de bewoonde wereld weer in beeld. ‘The Saloon’ is de ontmoetingsplek bij uitstek. Hier worden ervaringen uitgewisseld en spelen zich vaak hilarische taferelen af. $196.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 2 to 3 weeks | | |
| A Winter's Tale Concert band [Score and Parts] - Easy Anglo Music
Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 3 SKU: BT.AMP-293-010 Composed by Philip Sp...(+)
Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 3 SKU: BT.AMP-293-010 Composed by Philip Sparke. Anglo Music Midway Series. Concert Piece. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2010. Anglo Music Press #AMP 293-010. Published by Anglo Music Press (BT.AMP-293-010). 9x12 inches. English-German-French-Dutch. Bij dit winterverhaal staat het thema kerst eens n et centraal. Vandaar dat u A Winter’s Tale net zo goed rondom de kerstdagen als ook bij andere concerten in het winterseizoen kunt uitvoeren. De muziek geeft een beschrijvingvan een winters tafereel op het land: een zonsondergang, sprookjesachtig besneeuwde landerijen en bossen. In de verte klinken de bellen van een slee die langzaam maar zeker naderbij komt. Maar dan keert de rust weer terug, terugin het verstilde landschap…
A Winter’s Tale hat keinen direkten Bezug zum Thema Weihnachten, kann also ebenso zu (vor-) weihnachtlichen Anlässen wie auch bei anderen Konzerten im Winterhalbjahr aufgeführt werden. Die Musik beschreibt eine Winterszenerie auf dem Lande: Ein stiller Sonnenuntergang, tief verschneite Felder und Wälder, von ferne klingen die Glöckchen eines Schlittens, der sich als Dreigespann entpuppt, bevor zum Schluss des Werkes wieder Ruhe in die Szenerie einkehrt.
Philip Sparke a composé cette pièce pour le Western Plains Wind Consortium, placé sous la direction de son fondateur, Daniel Baldwin. La création fut assurée par l’Orchestre d’Harmonie de l’Université d’État de l’Oklahoma Panhandle (Dr. Matthew C. Saunders, direction), le 1er décembre 2009, au Centennial Theatre Goodwell en Oklahama (États-Unis). Les orchestres membres du Western Plains Wind Consortium qui ont contribué la commande de cette œuvre sont :Garden City High School Symphonic Band - Ryan Elliot & Daniel Baldwin, directionSouthwestern Oklahoma State University Wind Ensemble - James South, directionPanhandle State University Band - Matthew Saunders,direction Holton High School Band - Donald McDaniel, directionHolcomb High School Band - Paul White, directionBethel College Band - Timothy Shade, directionGarden City Community College Band - Daniel Baldwin, directionLa commande stipulait que l’œuvre devait synthétiser une ambiance hivernale sans référence au cycle de la Nativité. Philip Sparke a réalisé une scène d’hiver en pleine campagne. A Winter’s Tale s’ouvre avec une série d’accords soutenus, joués par les bois, et colorés par le timbre cristallin des cloches, tandis qu’un saxophone alto chante une complainte crépusculaire. Un passage orchestral court, mais dense, prélude l’exposition du thème principal. Les couleurs douces et vaporeuses enveloppent les champs et les forêts enneigés. L’orchestre reprend le thème tandis que l’on entend au loin un tintement de grelots annonçant le passage imminent d’une tro ka. Une fois passée, la musique s’apaise et le thème principal revient avant de laisser la place au motif d’ouverture qui vient conclure la trame musicale. $145.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 2 to 3 weeks | | |
