Chamber Music String Quartet

SKU: PO.PME07

Composed by David Farquhar. Sws. Score and parts. Composed 2005. Promethean Editions #PME07. Published by Promethean Editions (PO.PME07).

ISBN 9780958242882.

Comp osed after finishing the vocal score of an opera based on Shakespeare's The Tempest, Farquhar's String Quartet No.3 (1998) is pervaded by material from the opera. A twisting, rising violin phrase provides most of the material for the first movement, in which moods shift and compound rhythms alternate and combine. Speed and capriciousness are reflected in the scherzando second movement, while the third movement is a series of variations culminating in the twisting lines of the work's opening.

Piano (2-part mixed) - early intermediate

Composed by Jonathan Kohrs. Choral. Octavo. With music. Concordia Publishing House #984361. Published by Concordia Publishing House (CR.984361).

ISBN 9780758669032. 7 X 10.25 inches.

This text by Lisa M. Clark is set to a memorable tune and two-part mixed setting by Jonathan Kohrs. The text highlights the story of salvation, while carrying themes of outreach, the new creation, and the end times. The choral texture builds from start to finish and blossoms with a descant in the final stanza.

In paradise, You shared Your best
With us, Your children dear.
Your bounty, presence, work, and rest:
Secure from guilt or fear.
But we brought shame upon the land
And disobeyed Your clear command.
Oh, we will never understand
T he darkness we brought near.

In exile, driven from Your face,
We hid and worked in vain.
We lost the children's honored place
And earned Your just disdain.
But Jesus came to take our blame
And took away our horrid shame
And gave to us His holy name,
That we may life regain.

In restoration, we are free
And welcomed home anew.
You smile on us abundantly
A nd bless us through and through.
But as we wait for that great day,
When all dishonor melts away,
Let us, Your own beloved, say:
'Our Lord, we honor You!'

But even among Mozart's works it is still possible to make new discoveries. All of the choruses in this varied collection of both known and unknown works by these two great masters contain piano accompaniments and the original singing texts, as well as German translations (where applicable). The piece for four-part mixed choir range from easy to mid-level difficulty. A supplementary economical edition for choir (editionchor, without piano accompaniment) has also been published.

SKU: M7.SMP-1249

Swing. Composed by Oliver Nelson. Arranged by Bob Curnow. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1249. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1249).

As recorded by the Oliver Nelson Orchestra on their album Berlin Dialogue for Orchestra, Checkpoint Charlie is some of Nelson's most creative writing. Full of up-tempo energy, Oliver masterfully intertwines the melody in the saxophones with counter-lines from the brass to create an incredible tapestry of sound. There is plenty of solo space for trombone to stretch out, giving a great contrast from the full ensemble sections to the lone soloist with rhythm section. This edited version maintains the integrity of Oliver's original recording while simplifying some of the rhythms, making brass ranges more accessible, and providing solo space for tenor, trumpet, or trombone. 5-4-4-3.
