Swing. Composed by Billy Byers and Count Basie. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1182. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1182).

Much like Neil Hefti's Li'l Darlin', this Billy Byers original exemplifies quiet, warm ensemble writing at its finest. There is also the contrast of a strong shout section before returning to the quieter approach. This was recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra on the album Count Basie's Finest Hour (originally Basie Land). Set as a medium-slow swing feel, there are solos for trumpet and piano. In this edited version, the arrangement is almost exactly like the original, except the solos are written out, the high trumpet parts are adjusted, and the saxophone parts have been simplified a bit. 5-4-4-4.

Max Bruch succeeded in composing an impressive setting of the well known Advent text, O Heiland, reiss die Himmel auf (O Saviour, tear open the heavens). Compositionally it is extremely sophisticated in its construction; Bruch combines both the choir and orchestra in a powerfully expressive and moving portrayal of mankind waiting for the coming of the Saviour. Following the premiere of the work in 1869 it was celebrated as Bruch's most important choral work, but later it fell largely into oblivion. Almost 150 years after it was composed, for the first time a critical-scholarly edition is now available to the public. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.1036400.

Handel's Utrecht Te Deum HWV 278 enthralled London audiences right from its first performance, and it continues to do so today in concert halls and churches all over the world. It was performed for the first time in a festive service on 13 July 1713 in St. Paul's Cathedral to celebrate the Peace marking the end of the twelve year-long War of the Spanish Succession in 1713. The Te Deum was the first commission by the English royal house and was also Handel's first sacred work in the English language. For Handel the Utrecht Te Deum was an important milestone at the beginning of his London career. The composition brought him an annual pension from Queen Anne and helped him to establish himself as a composer of prestigious music for the English royal family. Four further settings of the Ambrosian hymn of praise by Handel followed, including the equally popular Dettingen Te Deum (Carus 55.238). The six soloists required can in practice be reduced to four, and the Te Deum does not contain any stand-alone arias. The chorus is scored in five parts in a few movements (SSATB), with the concluding doxology beginning in double-choir scoring (SST/AATB). For this frequently-performed work Carus offers a musical text reflecting the latest scholarly discoveries. The Critical Report contains information on all the important facts about the work in a practicable, compact form. A detailed foreword contains insights into the creation of the work and its reception. The vocal score, chorus score, and orchestral parts provide for the needs of practical performance; these are complemented by carus music, the choir app for practising the choral parts, as well as the Carus Choir Coach practice CDs and a Vocal Score XL in reader-friendly large print.

This setting of the beautiful holiday song is accessible for very young bands. All melody sections are in comfortable ranges and the background parts are very interesting and yet, not difficult. All instruments get the melody at some point. Written in bridge form, it begins softly, with soft sleigh bells and clarinets below the break, adding flutes, then brass, then building to a minor section and a very short percussion feature. The section at m. 61 features bell tones under the melody and definitely will put the listener in the holiday spirit! The piece then slowly decrescendos back from where it came, to clarinets in the low register and soft sleigh bells. A good opportunity to teach the students about bridge form. Be sure to keep the same tempo throughout, and although you will want to start softly, keep enough air moving to have good tones in the beginning and closing sections. Time spent on the fp bell tones will really make this setting sparkle! Lots of percussion, but feel free to add more if you need to keep everyone participating. It can also be performed with just a few percussionists, but make sure you cover the sleigh bell part!.

Max Bruch wrote his Concerto for two pianos in 1912 for an American piano duo, who only ever performed a cut down version. It was not until 1976 that the original version was released. The piano reduction by Wilhelm Bruckner-Ruggeberg is now available in this new edition and is also available with additional separate solo parts for both piano parts. Bruch's pianistic, powerful late arrival reflects echoes of Bach and Brahms.

Commi ssioned by Pennsylvania Unit of the International Association of Jazz Educators, a lighter-is-better attitude prevails in this medium-level release. Transparent voicings, creative rhythm section parts, and expandable solos for baritone (or alto) sax and piano are highlights. The trumpet and trombone sections contain five parts each; use of mutes enriches the overall color, and the flugelhorn doubles on all trumpet parts should be played if possible.

This valuable though seldom played early work from his Salzburg period contains the entire youthful charm of Mozart. It can be played without wind instruments whose parts are included in the strings. In this case, even the piano or harpsichord can be added as sound filler as was often done by Mozart himself when he conducted a work sitting at the respective instrument.

The two four-movement orchestral suites, in turn, are still thrilling concert-goers all over the world, ever since their first performances in 1872 and 1880 respectively. In 1998 and 2001, Lesley A.

Thus not only will the yellow Urtext angel be gracing the conducting score and orchestral parts, but, next to the standardized large format and new layout of the parts, there are other user-friendly improvements, such as practical page-turns, page-turn aids and intelligent cue notes.
