From the award-winning team of Christy and Daniel Semsen comes JINGLE BELL BEACH, a remarkably fun and fresh new Christmas musical for kids!

Once again it's that time of year, when aspiring young vocal groups from all around the country make their way to JINGLE BELL BEACH for the famous Jingle Sing competition. Hosts Sandy and Sonny Pepperminter welcome the final contestants for this year's competition: the Snowflakes, the Starfish, and the Electrons!

When a storm ruins the contestants' plans for getting home in time for Christmas, things heat up to tidal wave proportions! The result? The announcement of a rare Reindeer Rumble...a spontaneous, on-the-spot song competition to determine the winner of this year's event. In their eagerness to win the contest, it becomes clear that one of the contestants is struggling with his understanding of the meaning of Christmas. As the others share the story of Jesus, the spirit of competition quickly transforms into the wonderful spirit of Christmas! We are reminded that Christmas is about Emmanuel - God with us - and the Good News that Jesus came to be our Savior.

Commissione d by the New York Virtuoso Singers and its conductor Harold Rosenbaum for the Singers' 25th Anniversary. “Why Was Cupid a Boy?” is a short William Blake poem untied to one of the larger works, though it reprises a common theme in Blake: the bewilderment of Man faced with Love contrasted with Woman's relative comfort in it.

Each of the five movements of this innovative work is designed to invoke a particular type of emotion associated with leadership. Courage is stately in nature and played in a marcato style. Vision has a playful sense and focuses on mixed meters as well as mixed emotions. The lyric and sensitive Compassion is meant to stir the soul, while the contrasting Selflessness offers some of the most intense and demanding music of the set. The energetic final movement, Heroes, will bring to mind your own favorite superhero! Educator and speaker Scott Lang helped develop the concept for this unique work, and has made available supplemental curricula centered around leadership and character development. This material is tied to the Common Core Standards relating to reading, writing, music, art, and critical thinking. Each movement and accompanying curriculum can stand on its own, allowing the director the flexibility of using as much or as little as desired. A tremendous resource for today's teacher! Duration: 9:20.

Piano - Grade 3-4

SKU: ET.PNO81

Composed by Caroline Charriere. Contemporary. Editions BIM #PNO81. Published by Editions BIM (ET.PNO81).

ISBN 9790207003256.

Lâ� ��™enfance en éclats 2001 [Childhood Shattered]
As its title suggests, Childhood Shattered is program music. A simple and graceful tune, symbolizing childhood, is abruptly interrupted by a horrific, dissonant chord. The tune returns ; but the echo of the chord, still lingering in the background, tells us that the memory of the traumatic event persists. Life has darkened. Nothing is as it was before. The initial melody wanders into keys ever stranger and more distant, ultimately arriving at a new theme, obsessive, with grating seconds and thrusting accents. This shattered childhood and its episodes of aimlessness, will it give birth to new certainties?
The piece is an exercise in contrasting detached notes with tied notes.
Commissioned by the Association Jeune musique. Required work at the International Piano Competition Freiburg - Jeune Musique, 2002.

Toccata (2004)
This piece by Caroline Charrière issues from the historical lineage of the toccata, traditionally an exercise of dexterity characterized by repeated musical motifs.
The introduction is constructed of subtly displaced upper-register chords in the right hand that alternate with two lower notes in the left hand, creating an almost meditative preamble. In the rapid section of the piece, the performer playfully exploits the keyboard's full breadth in the course of spirited dialogues between notes high and low.

This piece for symphonic band by Jerry Brubaker is a musical excursion into the American driving experience. From majestic mountain vistas and wide open spaces to the hustle and bustle of rush hour traffic. There is even a section about the beloved covered bridge. Find one and there's bound to be an interesting little two lane country road leading up to it. The piece is designed around just two themes which are tied together in the final section which the composer calls Our Favorite Road. This can be the road to the beach, to the mountains or just simply cruisin' with the top down on a summer afternoon! Enjoy this delightful taste of Americana.

Horn and Chamber Orchestra

SKU: BT.EMBZ14485

Composed by Zsolt Serei. EMB Contemporary Music. Contemporary Music. Book Only. Composed 2006. 40 pages. Editio Musica Budapest #EMBZ14485. Published by Editio Musica Budapest (BT.EMBZ14485).

English-Hungarian.

In view of its arrangement Serenade, written for horn and chamber orchestra of fourteen instruments, may be regarded as a chamber concert. The one-movement piece written on command of horn player László Rákos is at the same time related to the notturno music of the 18th-19th centuries. It is a character piece in which a subdued, subtle irony makes itself felt alongside the characteristically night-time atmosphere. The solo role of the horn is obvious throughout, though the initial impetus is not sustained, and in the course of the movement the instrument falls silent. The instruments of the accompanying group join in with the horn in three ways: the clarinet, the English horn,the bassoon, the viola, the violoncello play the melodies of the horn, delicately repeating them, supplementing them or slowing them down, the flute, the violin, the trumpet and the double bass counterpoint the horn?s solos or hold dialogues with it, the third group ? the harp, the guitar, the vibraphone, the cimbalom and the piano ? plays soft, veiled, evenly progressing harmonies. In the last section of the piece, when the first and second group of instruments are no longer playing, these veiled sounds hold together, their rhythm gradually breaks up - the sound environment is reduced, progressively emptied. World premi?re: June 2, 1993, Budapest, László Rákos - horn, Componensemble, cond. Zsolt Serei.

Your students will love playing this piece because the rhythm is so fun! There are no eighth notes so syncopations occur with tied quarter notes. A cheerful piece where hands are positional---L.H. in D/Dm and R.H. in C/Cm---and accidentals are used. It's a great stand alone sheet (i.e. no duet or lyrics)---a perfect performance piece!

Beginning in the 1950s, the CIA became very interested in psychological research beingconducted on the effects of sensory deprivation on humans. The research, that suggestedrapid regression in those tested, provided a framework for sections of what would later beknown as the KUBARK manual, the first a series of US-government documents thatprovided techniques for interrogating detainees. These methods involved radicallyaltering a detainee’s sense of time and environment.Among these techniques, some developed independently of the manuals by interrogators,were the manipulation of light and sound. In order to weaken the resolve of a detaineeand prolong “capture shock,” complete sensory deprivation followed by blasts of light ornoise, or very loud music, proved effective. So much so that variations and combinationsof these techniques were widely used by the United States as well as both its allies andenemies in Vietnam, Latin America, Northern Ireland, and the Middle East.Though the idea of sound as a weapon is at least as old as the account of Joshua’s siegeof Jericho, it was only recently deemed “inhuman and degrading” for the purposes ofinterrogation by the European Court of Human Rights in the 1978 case “Ireland v. theUnited Kingdom.”.
Accid entals apply only to the notes they precede with the exception of tied or consecutively repeated notes.Tempi are consistent throughout the meter changes (Le., ~'=),)=)l, etc.).Grace notes are always to be played as fast as possible. Each grace note in a group should be of the same duration. Gracenotes curtail the previous measured note's duration with the exception noted below.Approximate duration: 16 minutes.
