Word Book. Composed by Anne Conlon and Peter Rose. Libretto, Vocal, Repertoire. African Jigsaw. Softcover Book. Josef Weinberger #M570053971. Published by Josef Weinberger (HU.M570053971). 0.4 x 0.4 x 0.4 inches. African Jigsaw looks at the problem of urbanisation, its effects on traditional tribal African life and the casualties left in its wake. Africa's shanty towns are home to the victims of 'progress'. Many have abandoned their tribal traditions as the land has failed to support them and their families. They are drawn by the material attraction of the cities and arrive with great hopes of work and prosperity. But many are disappointed and can only eke out a humiliating existence in the shanty towns. For the sad fathers and mothers they leave behind on the land, there is a growing realisation that the old way of life is slowly dying out. African Jigsaw concerns a problem facing all developing countries and does not pretend the solution is a simple one. But seeing the pieces of the jigsaw may help young and old alike to come to an understanding of the situation and, perhaps, to draw their own conclusions on its rights and wrongs.

As early as the sixth month of pregnancy, unborn babies are able to hear sounds. Language, singing and music can now have a formative impact on them. How can I positively influence the development of my baby during pregnancy by music? Which songs can I sing to my child during this time? How can music help me prepare for the birth of my baby? Which music is my baby going to like in the first months of his or her life? The author gives expectant mothers answers to this and many other questions, showing them how to manage their first contact with the child through music. This book contains songs (on CD), classical music, relaxation exercises, and scientific background information. Dr. Carla Hafner is a physician and mother of three children. Music has been a constant in her life since her childhood. She is the author of various songbooks and picture-books for the little ones.

2 tubas

SKU: P2.PZA90187

Composed by Various. Edited by Zach Collins. Arranged by Jim Self. 2 tubas (or 2 bass trombones) or tuba/bass trombone with downloadable backing track. Score and downloadable audio. Published by Basset Hound Music (P2.PZA90187).

Concert Duets is a collection of 14 arrangements of works by prominent 18th-century composers, mostly taken from Trio Sonatas. Duet 11 is a Jim Self original work in the Rococo style; and Duets 12, 13 and 14 are arrangements of the three-movements of the Bach Concerto for Two Violins. Included with this edition are play-along recorded tracks by tubist Zach Collins, who also served as editor of the current edition.

I created these duets as Christmas gifts for my tuba playing friends, with the first duet being arranged in 1976. All 14 of the duets are challenging and fun to play and are especially effective as concert pieces.

As a young musician I had the privilege of playing duets with many of the world’s finest tubists including Harvey Phillips, John Fletcher, Bob Pallansch, Chester, Schmitz, Dan Perantoni, Toby Hanks, Ron Bishop, Winston Morris and Tommy Johnson. I learned more about playing music in these duo sessions than from any other musical activity I have ever experienced. Duets are powerful teaching tools for learning and mastering rhythm, phrasing and intonation and for developing overall musicianship.

The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night is part of a series of captivating picture books, each based on a beloved songtale from the great American folk music tradition and collected by John M. Feierabend. The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night is one of the most enduring of children’s folk songtales, with roots dating back to England some 500 years ago and recorded by Peter, Paul, and Mary, Harry Belafonte, Pete Seeger, Burl Ives, The Smothers Brothers, and many more. Beautiful illustrations by Taylor Herrington evoke a wily fox as he roams a sleepy New England town in search of a meal for his family, with tones and textures that are so vivid you can almost hear the rustle of leaves and see the shimmer of moonlight over the meadows. Like the other picture books in John M. Feierabend’s First Steps in Music series, The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night includes a description of the history of the song, the notation of the song, and a link to a free mp3 download of the song, sung by Jill Trinka.
