In view of the fact that most people today appreciate the great didactic value of ensemble playing in the musical education of children, there is a growing interest in the repertoire for four hands. In an attempt to satisfy the demand for works of this type, the present little collection, intended for primary schools, avails itself of the little known French didactic repertoire. These are pieces by contemporary composers of the older generation, written mostly at the beginning of the twentieth century.

As summer ends, the chill of the autumn air awakens feelings within us. The shadows are longer in late afternoon and darkness comes early. The trees are losing their leaves and their gnarled trunks and branches take on sinister profiles against the looming twilight. We shudder at the cold wind. Our pulse quickens and we suddenly want to return to the safety and warmth of home. Night falls and we are once again at peace. We say a final farewell to the carefree days of summer and accept the relentless march of the seasons. Winter will soon be here.

Shadows of the Equinox is a dramatic and lyrical piece inspired by a late Midwest autumn. It was commissioned by the 2010 Festival of Bands, Vincennes, Indiana, including the bands from Barr-Reeve, Loogootee, Mitchell, North Daviess, North Knox, and South Knox High Schools. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Dave and Jean Perry have created a clever new arrangement of an American folk song classic.

It's exactly what middle schools and elementary choirs should be singing. Great for developing good diction in young singers. Cute piano accompaniment or use the hoe-down style SoundTrax CD.

Adventure Land was commissioned by Clermont Communauté and the CREA (the directors of the local music schools and conservatories) in France. This work was the opening piece of a show combining orchestra, choir and actors. The story takes place in the city of Clermont-Ferrand, which an explorer discovers through a series of riddles and adventures. Adventure Land is written in the form of a symphonic march which features a slow and pleasant passage in the middle of the work. The result is a dynamic and playful piece, similar to the style that one might find in cartoons or in animated films.

Het verhaal vindt plaats in de stad Clermont-Ferrand, die door een avonturier wordt ontdekt door middel van een reeks raadsels en belevenissen.

Choral (SSAA)

SKU: HL.319751

Composed by Nick Strimple. Pavane Choral. Concert, Contest, Poetry. Octavo. Hal Leonard #NS0021. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.319751).

UPC: 888680972554. 6.75x10.5x0.029 inches. Dylan Thomas/Nick Strimple.

The poems of Dylan Thomas are famous because they touch the depth of the heart. Nick Strimple's setting of this poem has special personal meaning following the death of his brother. This poem honors the passion of creating art in a dramatic way. The ostinato pattern Strimple incorporates beautifully grounds the piece and concludes it with lingering and longing. The music is conceived by the text and does so masterfully with a piano accompaniment that is more reminiscent of an orchestration. An excellent concert piece for advanced high school and college ensembles.

The Formosa Singers from Taiwan are one of the world's renowned choral groups. They commission unbelievably creative and beautiful works by local composers. Pavane Publishing is very proud to launch a new choral series with them under the editorial excellence of Cristian Grases. Each edition is published in Taiwanese and IPA and English translations. Opening with a Debussy “Arabesque” the song quickly morphs into original music that soars with elegance and beauty. It is a love song, a tender song of romance and longing. This is an excellent cultural choice to bring to our audiences, for advanced high school, community choirs and university ensembles.
