Estos paquetes presentan la lectura de la Pasión en un formato para que fácilmente pueda proclamarse, la cual corresponde a la lectura de la Pasión que está en el leccionario y en los misales como el de ¡Celebremos!/Let Us Celebrate! Cada paquete contiene tres ejemplares de la lectura de la Pasión para cada Evangelio: Una parte para el narrador, una parte para el lector, una parte para Jesús. Cada parte tiene el tamaño de la letra en 14 puntos y negrita en aquellas línea que le corresponde. Las hojas son tamaño carta, 8.5” x 11” y tienen 3 perforaciones para que se pongan en una carpeta, como la carpeta ceremonial. This Spanish-language Passion is similar in content to its English-language counterpart. The Gospel Passion account is presented in a dignified, easy-to-proclaim format that corresponds exactly to the Passion readings found in the Mexican lectionary (as approved for use in worship in the United States) and in seasonal worship aids and missals like WLP‚ ¡Celebremos/Let Us Celebrate!. No longer must lectors and presiders use pew editions of missals and worship aids for such a solemn and important Gospel proclamation! Each packet contains 3 complete sets of the Passion account for the Gospel of Mark: one set for the part of the Narrator, one set for the part of the Speaker‚ one set for the part of Jesus. Each reader's part is set in large, 14-point, bold-faced type arranged in sense lines in their set, making it easy to find and proclaim effectively. The packets measure a standard 8.5 x 11 and are 3-hole-punched for easy insertion into a WLP ceremonial binder. In each packet, you'll also find a list of appropriate music suggestions and a copy of Del Årbol de la Cruz by Eduardo Rivera, a newly composed musical refrain with guitar chords and piano accompaniment, for use with during Lenten services. A reproducible assembly box for this refrain is also included.

Help your students Level Up! their sight-reading skills using their minds and ears, as well their voices! Level Up! is a sequential, interactive, and comprehensive resource built from the authors’ decades of research and experience teaching students of all levels and ages. Using the concept of target skills (isolated pitch and rhythm patterns), Level Up! guides students to carefully understand and analyze every new skill by difficulty. Authors Michele L. Henry and Keitha Lucas Hamann then reinforce each skill by asking students to sight-read specially sequenced practice melodies. Each of the five volumes—Foundational, Emerging, Minor, Developing, and Advanced—is designed as an interactive workbook for students to mark up, and is available in both treble clef and bass clef editions. The companion Teacher Manuals include clear instructions for how to best use the Level Up! system, outline the approach and sequencing, and provide assessments. Level Up! supports the artistic literacy goals of the National Coalition for Core Arts Standards (NCCAS) and many state music education standards. The companion website, giamusic.com/levelup, provides even more reinforcement. The goal of Level Up! is simple: to help students become independent and confident musicians, with benefits to last a lifetime! Michele L. Henry, Ph.D. is Professor of Choral Music Education at Baylor University, Waco, Texas. Keitha Lucas Hamann, Ph.D. is Associate Professor of Music Education at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.   Level Up! is the most sequential approach to the teaching of sight-reading that I’ve ever seen! Designed for use with singers at the middle school through high school levels, the methodology aligns with National Standards, UIL, and TEKS, and is range related for developing voices. Within each lesson, specific skills are targeted and the interactive approach further encourages the mastery of skills. Individual assessment is provided both for long-term and short-term goals, thus creating a complete and accessible methodology which can be used in any choral or general music classroom. —Lynne Gackle, Director of Choral Activities, Baylor University This book fills a unique niche in the field. I love that it takes the needs of developing/changing voice singers into account and that students can write in the books like a workbook as they are learning the tools for sight singing. Teachers will definitely appreciate the opportunities for assessment built into the series. —Jessica Nápoles, Associate Professor of Choral Music Education, University of North Texas As a teacher, I really do love this resource. It’s broken down in a way that makes it very easy to incorporate into my lessons, and the fact that it’s sequential and very clear about the concepts introduced at each level is extremely helpful. I can see my students (beginners especially) getting better and more confident with their sight-reading. I look forward to using this resource as our primary sight-reading resource! —Courtney Neva, Choir Director, Dripping Springs High School.

2 tubas

SKU: P2.PZA90187

Composed by Various. Edited by Zach Collins. Arranged by Jim Self. 2 tubas (or 2 bass trombones) or tuba/bass trombone with downloadable backing track. Score and downloadable audio. Published by Basset Hound Music (P2.PZA90187).

Concert Duets is a collection of 14 arrangements of works by prominent 18th-century composers, mostly taken from Trio Sonatas. Duet 11 is a Jim Self original work in the Rococo style; and Duets 12, 13 and 14 are arrangements of the three-movements of the Bach Concerto for Two Violins. Included with this edition are play-along recorded tracks by tubist Zach Collins, who also served as editor of the current edition.

I created these duets as Christmas gifts for my tuba playing friends, with the first duet being arranged in 1976. All 14 of the duets are challenging and fun to play and are especially effective as concert pieces.

As a young musician I had the privilege of playing duets with many of the world’s finest tubists including Harvey Phillips, John Fletcher, Bob Pallansch, Chester, Schmitz, Dan Perantoni, Toby Hanks, Ron Bishop, Winston Morris and Tommy Johnson. I learned more about playing music in these duo sessions than from any other musical activity I have ever experienced. Duets are powerful teaching tools for learning and mastering rhythm, phrasing and intonation and for developing overall musicianship.

Self (b. 1943) is a Los Angeles free-lance musician, a veteran of thousands of Hollywood motion pictures, television shows and records, and tuba soloist on many prominent movies.

This piece originated as an introduction to instrumental musique-concrete. In this sort of piece it is common for sound phenomena to be so refined and organised that they are not so much the results of musical experiences as of their own acoustic attributes. Timbres, dynamics and so on arise not of their own volition but as components of a concrete situation characterised by texture, consistency, energy, resistance.This does not come from within but from a liberated compositional technique. At the same time it implies that our customary sharply-honed auditory habit is thwarted. The result is aesthetic provocation: beauty denying habit.(Helmut Lachenmann),,Cette nouvelle edition est une invitation faite aux violoncellistes qui souhaiteraient redecouvrir leur instrument et la maniere de la faire sonner en realisant dessus un nouveau genre de polyphonie: une polyphonie d'actions.
