Text by Noel Goemanne.

Conversat ional Solfege is a dynamic and captivating first-through-eighth grade general music program that enables students to become independent musical thinkers with the help of a rich variety of folk and classical music. It is organized around increasingly complex rhythmic and melodic content. Each new rhythmic or melodic element is discovered first in patterns and then reinforced with folk songs, rhymes, and classical examples. Central to the Conversational Solfege program is the use of music harvested from our rich and diverse American musical history. This variety of music serves as a common thread that spans and bonds generations. Each book contains varied song material so the teacher can select appropriate music for the lower grades or older beginners. This 12-step teaching method carefully brings students from readiness to, ultimately, creating music through inner hearing and then transferring their musical thoughts into notation—in other words, to compose music! This CD provides 14 classical selections referenced in Conversational Solfege Level 2. These examples provide reinforcement for emerging literacy skills, and they also enable students to listen to wonderful classical examples with greater attention. Listening to classical music can be challenging for elementary students. With nothing to hang onto, the many notes can be too much to comprehend and attention soon wanes. But with minimal literacy skills, students will have enough musical information to discover that classical music can be accessible and appealing. In the included booklet, timings are given for each selection and the portions of the music that are readable by the students are reproduced. Whether using this CD with Conversational Solfege instructional materials or simply as a resource of classical music with simple to read rhythmic and melodic material, both teachers and students will delight in discovering this wonderful music through literacy. This series is a complete, innovative approach to teaching music that will stay fresh year after year. CONTENTS Conversational Solfege Unit 5: 1.

UPC: 688670561085. English.

This anthem setting of the tune TODOS LOS COLORES from the recent Presbyterian hymnal has a decidedly Latin-American feel, especially with the optional inclusion of guitar, flute, shaker, and claves. The bold text acknowledges that we are divided by hate when we judge each other on our differences, but calls us to remember that we are made in God's image and that we must learn the language of love. Very accessible writing for SATB, and the composer gives instructions for performance by SAB, Two-Part Mixed, SA, or Unison Choirs. Guitar plays from choir score. Duration: 4:00.

SATB choir and organ - Early Intermediate

SKU: MN.50-8050

Composed by Alfred V. Fedak. Confirmation, 21st Century, Love. Instrumental part. MorningStar Music Publishers #50-8050. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers (MN.50-8050).

UPC: 688670580505. English. Romans 12:9-13.

The tune is original and expansive, the text is an elaboration of Romans 12:9-13. Easy four-part passages and quite a bit of unison singing. (In fact one of the most beautiful moments is the recap of the full melody sung by unison choir.) The text is exhortative, which makes it right for general use or for specific services in which this message of instruction is needed. This piece is sweet and written from the heart.

Lent & Easter Musical
Not 'Who Was Jesus?' but 'Who Is Jesus?' The question is asked in the present tense because it's Christ's interaction with our lives in the here and now that is the focus of this 30 minute Tenebrae service. The events of Holy Week are presented through enticing arrangements of familiar hymns and spirituals plus narration, culminating with the crucifixion story in a moving rendition of 'O Sacred Head, Now Wounded. ' There are opportunities to include vocal solos, as well as, congregational singing. The accompaniment can be provided by piano, CD track, or a chamber ensemble of five instruments. A further option is an organ part that can work with just piano or can be added to the chamber instruments. Finally, there are instructions for lighting and extinguishing seven candles ending in darkness with all softly singing of the first verse of 'Fairest Lord Jesus. '

Oratorio. Composed by George Frideric Handel. Edited by Felix Loy. This edition: urtext. Stuttgart Urtext Edition: Handel. Saul Hwv 53 Kartoniert. Sacred vocal music, Oratorios. Set of Orchestra Parts. Composed 1739. HWV 53. Duration 165 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 55.053/19. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.5505319).

ISBN 9790007145804. Text language: English/German.

Sau l, published for the first time in the version conducted by Handel himself. Saul is one of the most dramatic of Handel's oratorios. To a greater extent than almost any other oratorio it reveals with its gripping dramatic power its proximity to opera of its time. The score demands what was at the time Handel's most varied orchestra. The normal opera orchestra of the day was augmented by trombones, harp, solo organ, carillon (Glockenspiel) and large kettledrums. The choir functions for the first time as a central participant in dramatic action, while also undertaking commentating functions as in a Greek tragedy. This new edition makes use for the first time of musical material revealed by the latest Handel research, based as its most important source on the conducting score from which Handel himself directed his performances. Only this research has shown which arias, choruses, recitatives and instrumental pieces, after he had made numerous corrections in his autograph, Handel chose for his performances, and in what order they were given. The result has produced, apart from many changes of details (e.g. autograph instructions concerning the use of the organ), uncommon ordering of individual pieces, and passages with altered notes. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.5505300.
