Here's a beloved American spiritual, sensitively prepared for school and church singers by Victor C. Johnson. The familiar strophic melody is fully arranged with progressively richer sonorities throughout. Expressive tempo markings stretch the final moment of every phrase and suggest more motion for the hear the trumpet sound verse. A lovely piano accompaniment does not double, but rather decorates the satisfying choral parts. A gentle gem that grows to an impressive height before a quiet conclusion.

This edition of Michael Colgrass' Sea Shadow includes all of his original musical and choreographical markings, allowing for a better understanding of the work as a whole. The ballet was originally intended to be choreographed to Ravel's Concerto in G minor, but when rights to the work were taken away just days before the performance, Colgrass offered to write a new score for the twelve-minute ballet overnight. The next day, Colgrass' Sea Shadow was performed by the Joffrey Ballet at New York City Center in April of 1966. By April 1989, the original Ravel score was made available again, and the ballet was revived with it.

Battle Cry, by Brian Beck, is an intense and exciting piece for musicians who are not afraid of a fight. The many shifts in style, dynamic markings, and various accidentals in every part help provide a rich harmonic and melodic contrast. Each part's range is very conservative, allowing even the youngest musicians an opportunity for an impressive performance. (2:40) (Correlates to Sound Innovations, Book 2, Level 4).

The collection of 130 studies published in two volumes was compiled with the aim in mind to meet the demands of trombone instruction from the highest classes of the music schools to the Academy of Music. lt was selected from those 'traditional' studies which played a decisive role in trombone playing and instruction at the turn of the century and have become the most frequently performed studies since then. However old-fashioned these studies may seem, they belong to the best ones with regard to safe, smooth technique and the elaboration of a nice sound and will definitely serve their pur­pose in the future as well. On compiling the volumes, I have attempted to observe not only asequence according to grade of difficulty but the variety of characters as well. I am convinced that these studies are both useful and, when performed sufficiently colorfully, may contribute to overcoming the monotony of technical exercises. The articulation sings and markings of dynamics, which often differ from the original, try to meet this aim.I had already used this collection of studies before it was printed. 1 had to realize soon that the technical level of the first pieces was too high to assure a smooth transition from the trombone tutors written for beginners. As a result, I found it necessary to start the first volume with a shortened and facilitated version of some studies. Since these pieces in question have been changed considerably, a * beside the composer's name refers to the fact in each case that they are arrangements.I recommend my work to my past, present and future pupilsPál Makovecz.

Concert Band - Grade 2

SKU: AP.49094S

Based on Jingle Bells. Composed by James Lord Pierpont. Arranged by Brian Beck. Concert Band; MakeMusic Cloud; Performance Music Ensemble. Sound Innovations for Concert Band. Christmas; Winter. Score. 16 pages. Duration 2:20. Alfred Music #00-49094S. Published by Alfred Music (AP.49094S).

Haunted Sleigh Ride is based on Jingle Bells but shifted to a minor key, transforming a winter favorite into an eerie adventure into the snowy unknown. We may not be laughing all the way. Brian Beck's setting is jam-packed with various style and dynamic markings as well as accidentals in every part, challenging musicians, and engaging audiences. Shifting a piece from major to minor (or vice versa) will instantly illuminate a melody and breathe new life into a piece. What was happy is now sad, what was dark is now vibrant, and, in this case, what was cheerful is now spooky. Correlated to Sound Innovations for Concert Band, Book 2, Level 4.

Joachim Raff's celebrated first cello concerto is only gradually being rediscovered today. This is astounding, taking into account both the quality of the composition as well as its enthusiastic reception in the past. All renowned cellists of the time performed the work, but the history of op. 193 is still more closely linked to Friedrich Grutzmacher, its commissioner, co-editor, and soloist in its world premiere, than to any other musician. Grutzmachers wish for a concerto to free us poor cellists from our situation that is becoming truly unbearable and driving us to the utmost discontent was certainly fulfilled by Raff.The extensive preface of this first Urtext-Edition documents the close collaboration between composer and interpreter, as well as performance practice of the time. The corresponding piano reduction includes not only an Urtext-solo part, but also a part with the markings by the Zurich cellist Jonas Kreienbuhl. In collaboration with the Joachim-Raff-Archiv Lachen (CH).

Debussy' s Danse (Tarantelle styrienne), originally for piano and orchestrated by Ravel, is also extremely well suited to performance on the organ. This is shown in this arrangement which has been successfully performed in concerts in several countries by renowned organists. It is now being published in time for the Debussy anniversary year in 2018. The arrangement shows this powerful and spirited Danse, with its typical syncopated rhythms, to its best advantage. The great range of colors offers performers plenty of opportunity for artistic display. The registration markings are intended as suggestions and can easily be adapted to suit different instruments.

A young Strauss, at age 21, composed these songs on poems from Hermann von Gilm's Letzte Blatter. In accompanying his wife, a soprano, Strauss produced the performance markings which are presented in this edition. The cycle contains three of his best-known songs in Zueignung, Nichts, and Die Nacht. This edition is based on the Richard Strauss Works Critical Edition.

The Ape's Ballet was one of the obligatory pieces on the literature list for the German Choral Competition in 1994. But with expressive markings such as quasi Tango or poco piu mosso, quasi Boogie, the piece is more likely to become obligatory fun for choral singers everywhere!

An expressive contemporary solo that is excellent for intermediate student. The work's melodic voices are almost always two, much in the style of a Bach invention. The counterpoint is very free, the melodic fragments in each voice often moving back and forth in a lyrical exchange. The composer has provided explicit performance notes, indicating more specifically the flexibility of the tempo rubata and finer gradations of dynamics and attacks that can be suggested by traditional markings. For studios,schools, colleges. Easy medium.
