World Library Publications' presentation of The Clown of God is a contemporary retelling of the French legend of a juggler who offers the Christ Child the only gift he has‚Äîhis talent. The engaging performance presented here was filmed on location at St. William Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, as part of the National Association of Pastoral Musicians convention in July 2003. Set to an original score by Peter Fisher Hesed and Thomas Kavanaugh, with narrator text by Tomie dePaola, The Clown of God is the story of the adventures of Giovanni, a poor boy whose ability to entertain brings him renown. Through the use of mime, simple settings and costumes, and an orchestra and chorus, the people he meets on his journey through the years come alive. The message is that God‚ love is simple, straightforward, and more powerful than we ever expect. Rarely is a presentation as deeply moving as this simple fable of a clown who gives the best of himself. The Clown of God is ideal viewing for religious education classes, youth groups, music and drama programs, and parish gatherings. Or, use this video presentation and the companion orchestral or small ensemble score to inspire a live performance in your own community. Any audience would want to share this touching story of a simple soul who reaches the heart of God. VHS, 40 minutes.

Chock-full of whimsical Australian vocabulary, Waltzing Matilda depicts the rugged adventures of a traveling worker (“swagman”) as he journeys across the Australian countryside, encountering both good fortune and trouble along the way. Adriana Wimler’s colorful illustrations capture the natural beauty of the Australian landscape and feature several indigenous Australian animals. See if you can spot them all! Like the other folk song picture books in the series, Waltzing Matilda includes a description of the song and its history, the music notation, and a link to a free MP3 download of the song, sung by Jill Trinka. John M. Feierabend, PhD, has spent decades compiling songs and rhymes from the memories of the American people in hopes that these treasures will be preserved for future generations. He is a leading authority on child development in music and movement and served as Professor and Chair of the Music Education Department of the Hartt School of the University of Hartford. Adriana Wimler grew up in Durham, Connecticut, where her love of animals and nature inspired her to create.

This expressive piece depicts three periods that play an important role in the history of the American state of Virginia, the colonization, slavery, and the American Civil War. The first movement describes the adventures and hardships of the first colonists through lively American sounding themes.The expressive slow movement, in which a melancholic minor theme forms the starting point, depicts, with clever use of blues elements, the oppressed slaves on the tobacco plantation. This is followed by a illustration of the Civil War, heralded by ceremonial figures from the brass section. The work is brought to a close with a slow but optimistic theme heralding hope for the future.

De kolonisatie, de slavernij en de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog: drie periodes die een belangrijke rol spelen in de geschiedenis van de staat Virginia. De expressieve inleiding geeft de avonturen en ontberingen van de eerste kolonistenweer. Vanaf 1619 voert Virginia ten behoeve van de tabaksplantages als eerste staat zwarte slaven in. Dit wordt uitgedrukt in een langzaam gedeelte, waarin een melancholiek mineurthema en elementen van de blues het uitgangspuntvormen. Het scherp koper kondigt de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog aan. Het slotthema verklankt verlossing en hoop.

Auf der Landkarte sieht der amerikanische Staat Virginia wie ein etwas schief geratenes Dreieck aus. Diese Form schlägt sich bildhaft in der vorliegenden Komposition nieder, die den Staat aus drei verschiedenen Blickwinkeln beleuchtet, drei Zeitabschnitten, die für Virginia von besonderer Bedeutung waren: Die Kolonisation, die Sklaverei und der amerikanische Bürgerkrieg. Die bewegenden Ereignisse wurden in mal lebhafte, dann wieder langsame, in mal kämpferische, mal friedvolle und mal melancholische und schließlich optimistisch stimmende Musik umgesetzt. Ein ausdrucksstarkes Werk über ein bewegendes Stück amerikanischer Geschichte!

Pour composer cette oeuvre au caractère épique, Jacob de Haan s’est inspiré de trois périodes marquantes de l’histoire de l’État de Virginie : la colonisation, l’esclavage et la guerre de Sécession. L’introduction expressive dépeint les aventures et les difficultés affrontées par les premiers colons. Le second mouvement plus mélancolique développe un thème mélodique mineur aux accents de blues symbolisant le déplacement des esclaves noirs en route vers les plantations de tabac de la Virginie, l’un des premiers États esclavagistes américains.

“Foll owing on the success of her two operatic works for children and teens ' Douce et Barbe Bleue, Les Fables Enchantées, Little Thummie and Cendrillon (based on Perrault), as well as the adaptation of Maupassant's short story The Dumpling (2014) ' Isabelle Aboulker once again hits the bull's eye with Myla and the Boat-Tree, a commission from the Villecroze Music Academy. In 2015, this musical tale for narrator, children's choir and instrumental accompaniment, was awarded the 'Music for Young Performers Prize' by the French Music Publishers Association. Both in the French version and Marci Meth's excellent English translation, it provides the material for an enthralling educational adventure in which children between the ages of five and eight are invited into their first experience of opera and choir singing. With her trademark finesse and sensitivity, the composer tells the story of a little girl dealing with the death of a person she'd cherished above all: her grandfather. Written for choir in unison, this tale wafts shimmering melodies over an instrumental accompaniment suffused in turn with gentle melancholy and light humour. An art that speaks from an open heart. The work was written in three versions: for narrator, children's choir and piano (AL 30 732)' for narrator, children's choir and trio (clarinet in B b, cello and piano: AL 30 733)' for narrator, children's choir and instrumental ensemble(flute, oboe, clarinet in B b, bassoon, horn, trumpet in C, trombone, percussion, 2 violins, alto, cello, bass: AL 30 734)Choral score: AL 30 743 &rdquo.

Practising - or practise practising? Gerhard Mantel finds new, sometimes even unorthodox answers to the old question of how to practise. In this book the author describes the varied mental, psychological and physical aspects of the adventure of 'practising', while trying at the same time, in a widely diversified manner, to make individual instrumental problems accessible and thus available to the spontaneous artistic need of expression. In a new chapter of the revised and expanded edition, the author deals with the topic of 'linking': muscular or mental linking of two notes, spatial linking on the fingerboard, and linking inside the body.

An ordinary day at the school bus stop…a mysterious message you haven’t seen before…your mission, should you decide to accept it…

In this new kids choir musical from Simply WordKidz, what seems to start out like an ordinary day, quickly turns into an action-packed adventure, starting with a strange note and a mission!

Come along and join us on this MISSION: POSSIBLE—wh ere God will show each of us what He has called us to do for His Kingdom! Created by Gina Boe, MISSION POSSIBLE is a fun, scripture-filled musical for kids bursting with biblical truths found in Mark 16:15 and Ephesians 2:10. Your students will learn that, as believers, no matter where they are, no matter what their talents are, and no matter the circumstances, they have been given a mission – they have been called to spread the Good News of Jesus to the world around them.
