Merry minor key singing and dance-like rhythms! This rousing Greg Gilpin original sounds something like Irish folk music or perhaps a sea chantey. It's a festive holiday text complete with trimming the tree, decking the halls, plus plentiful fa la la's and noel's. Feature a mid-range soloist on the softer, slower, introspective moment just before the last spirited refrain. There's holiday cheer for one and all!

The appropriately-titled RESTLESS begins with a recitative-like Misterioso, building tension as if slowly pulling back a spring until it snaps. This recoil is supercharged, cycling through a series of dance rhythms inspired by the music of Samuel Zyman’s native Mexico. Successive episodes bring the tempo gradually faster, with restless tension between folkloric harmonies and chromatically dramatic harmony. Equally dramatic is a surprise return to the broadly declamatory music of the opening, and the gradual second series of restless song and dance. The 10-minute work was commissioned by Astral Artists’ Micro-Commissioning Program, for pianist Zhenni Li.

For Concert Band. Composed by Philip Sparke. Anglo Music Concert Band. Bluegrass, Concert. Softcover. Composed 2017. Anglo Music Press #AMP447010. Published by Anglo Music Press (HL.44012905).

English-German-French- Dutch.

A Bluegrass Overture was commissioned by Gabriel Wooley and funded by a grant from Leslie and Cathy Anderson for the Central Kentucky Concert Band to celebrate their 40th anniversary in 2016. This energetic overture opens with an introduction loosely based on bluegrass chords before a slower, legato chorale appears in the clarinets and flutes. This is short-lived and soon a new mood is introduced, based on a repeated-note accompaniment. This leads to the main theme, heavily syncopated with bluesy inflections. A central section features a cantabile melody, which changes key frequently, before the main theme reappears, leading to a triumphal presentation of the earlier chorale melody.

In A Major, Op. 141. Composed by Dmitri Shostakovich. Study Score. Classical. Softcover. Sikorski #SIK2515. Published by Sikorski (HL.50606858).

UPC: 196288194552.

Weake ned by a series of chronic illnesses and aware of his impending death, Shostakovich looks back on his life in Symphony No.15 inA major, op.141. The work opens with cheerful reminiscences from his youth, featuring quotations from his early works and allusions to Rossini. But already by the second movement, a funeral march rich with self-quotation, the mood changes. In the cantabile movement which follows, one hears the murmuring ghosts of the past. With echoes of Richard Wagner, the eerie finale ultimately instructs the listener to remain fearful through its crumbling tonality. This volume is part of the revised and corrected new edition of all 15 symphonies by Dmitri Shostakovich published by Boosey & Hawkes and Sikorski as large format study scores for optimal legibility. All scores and the related orchestral parts have been newly computer typeset, and the orchestral parts are also compatible for performance use with scores in “The New Collected Works of DmitriShostakovich” .

Song of Friendship was commissioned by the Concert Band of Jumonji University, Saitama, Japan and their conductor, Yutaka Nishida. The commission marked the 50th year of Yutaka Nishida’s involvement with bands as a player, conductor and radio presenter. The ceremonial Song of Friendship opens with an extended fanfare, largely featuring the brass section. This leads to the main theme, which develops slowly until it is played by the full band. A change of key signals a contrasting central section containing a quiet woodwind chorale, which grows until the return of the triumphant sounding main theme. Elements of the opening fanfare then close the work.

Song of Friendship werd geschreven voor het harmonieorkest van de Jumonji University in Saitama, Japan, en dirigent Yutaka Nishida. De opdracht markeerde tevens het vijftigste jaar dat Yutaka Nishida al actief was met blaasorkesten als muzikant, dirigent en radiopresentator. Song of Friendship opent met een uitgebreide fanfare waarin vooral de kopersectie aan het woord is. Dit gedeelte leidt naar het hoofdthema, dat geleidelijk verder wordt uitgewerkt tot het door het volledige orkest wordt gespeeld. Een modulatie kondigt een contrasterend middendeel aan, met een rustig koraal in het hout dat zich verder ontwikkelt tot aan de terugkeer van hettriomfantelijk klinkende hoofdthema. Het werk wordt afgesloten met elementen uit de openingsfanfare.

Song of Friendship wurde vom Blasorchester der Jumonji University in Saitama (Japan) und seinem Dirigenten Yutaka Nishida in Auftrag gegeben. Das Auftragswerk steht auch für Yutaka Nishidas über 50-jähriges Engagement im Bereich der Blasmusik als Musiker, Dirigent und Radiomoderator. Das feierliche Stück Song of Friendship beginnt mit einer ausgedehnten Fanfare, die vor allem die Blechbläser herausstellt. Diese führt zum Hauptthema, das sich langsam entwickelt, bis es schließlich vom gesamten Orchester gespielt wird. Ein Tonartwechsel leitet den gegensätzlichen Hauptteil mit einem ruhigen Choral in den Holzbläsern ein, der sich bis zur Wiederkehr destriumphierenden Hauptthemas langsam weiterentwickelt. Das Werk endet mit Elementen aus der Eröffnungsfanfare.

Song of Friendship est une commande de l’orchestre d’harmonie de l’Université de Jumonji, Saitama, Japon, et de leur chef Yutaka Nishida. La commande marque aussi la 50e année de l’engagement de Yutaka Nishida avec des bands, que ce soit comme joueur, chef d’orchestre ou présentateur radio. Le cérémonial Song of Friendship commence par une longue fanfare, mettant en scène en particulier les cuivres. Ceci nous mène au thème principal qui se développe ensuite graduellement jusqu’ une interprétation par l’ensemble entier. Une modulation signale le début de la section centrale contrastante. Elle se caractérise par un choral calme pour les bois qui se développeensuite jusqu’au retour du triomphant thème principal. Des éléments de la fanfare du début finissent alors l’œuvre.

Il celebrativo Song of Friendship si apre con un esteso tema di fanfara che presenta ampiamente la sezione degli ottoni. Questo conduce al tema principale, che si sviluppa gradualmente fino all’esecuzione da parte di tutta la banda. Un cambio di tonalit anticipa una contrastante sezione centrale che contiene un calmo corale di legni che cresce fino al ritorno trionfante del tema principale. Gli elementi musicali della fanfara d’apertura concludono l’opera.

Originally published in The Social Harp in 1855, this revivalist song has become deeply woven into the American folk music tradition. A powerful and insistent rhythmic foundation is laid by the low voices, as the agile melody darts over top. A slower middle section offers some warm homophonic harmony in a setting that is largely polyphonic. The dance returns and builds to a dazzling and multitextured finish. Exquisite!

Composed by Hans Abrahamsen. Music Sales America. 20th Century. Score. 58 pages. Music Sales #KP01009. Published by Music Sales (HL.14000906).

ISBN 9788759853672. 11.5x16.25x0.453 inches. Danish.

Abrahamsen' s Concerto For Piano And Orchestra was composed in 1999, by commission for the BIT-20 Ensemble. A complex and multi-layered work, opening with highly minimal material and very slowly building to an ecstatic frenzy across the four movements. As the piece progresses Abrahamsen has also included some significant nods towards composers Gyorgy Ligeti (a former teacher of the composer) and Gustav Mahler. The work was premiered at the Ultima Festival in Oslo in 2000 with Anne Marie Abildskov as soloist.

SATB choir, organ, brass, timpani - Medium Difficult/Difficult

SKU: PL.0408IP

Composed by Bruce Saylor. Cathedral. Choral, General. Instrumental Parts. Paraclete Press #0408IP. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.0408IP).

Bruce Saylor is well-known for his exceptional sacred music and particularly his large-scale anthems. Blessing is a sensitive mixture of texts from the Scriptures and Jasper Keith, Jr. The anthem is scored for choir, trumpets, trombones, timpani and organ. It demands a great deal of sensitivity on the part of all the musicians and is especially gratifying for the exciting results that ensue. A quiet, rather sinuous line from the organ opens the work and is slowly transformed into more rhythmic and fiery figurations. A march-like section commences at the text, Hast thou not known? This subsides into more lyrical turns from the choir and organ and eventually a return to the opening music. The work concludes with an exuberant Amen from all forces. This is a real tour-de-force and should find its way into performances by large church and college choirs.

Composed for the Paris Conservatoire contest, Oriental fantasies is a piece by Max d'Ollone for Bb Clarinet and Piano accompaniment. Really melodious, this piece is quite complex to play. This work starts slowly, with some accelerations, followed by a more quiet and melancholic part. The end is more lyrical and features some trills and numerous accidentals. Max d'Ollone (1875-1959) is a French musician who won the first Grand Prix de Rome in 1897. He was a great professor and composer, who produced numerous pieces including ballets, symphonies and chamber music..
