Arran ged by Daniel Semsen, this song from Hillsong United paints a lyrical canvas evoking the realization that when all else fails, it is in those moments when we need Him most…those times when, at our lowest point, God’s Love sweeps in. Falling to our knees, we actually “touch the sky” as we reach out to Him and rely on His power to lift us out of darkness. A contemporary musical setting that feels universal in its appeal, Touch the Sky invites us to join in and lift our voices to sing this heart-song to our Savior, Redeemer and King, as we lay down our lives in complete surrender to His Love.

This lighthearted quodlibet was commissioned by ASTA and premiered at the 2015 conference. It provides a fabulous tool to introduce your students to key musical themes across time. The score plays off of the musician's nocturnal mind to combine twelve historic themes by condensing and expanding them the way our subconscious mind often toys with daytime experiences. In total, this composition celebrates the string player's full potential: Where loyalty to the written note serves the imagination's creative playground. What is composition, if not a grand improvisation captured in a snapshot?.
I am a firm advocate for creative conducting, so I encourage you to experiment with changes in tempi to segue between themes, and/or to take musical liberty with the actual transitions between the themes, as long as there is still a feeling of forward momentum.If you want to fulfill the theatricality of the score, it would be fabulous to look at the audience (with a raised eyebrow, or a smile on your face, or whatever facial expression you think suits these moments in the score) at m. 14 and again at m. 21.In addition, it will help to conduct with wider gestures when themes change or the volume suddenly drops or swells. This will help the audience understand that these sudden changes between themes or dynamics are intended and will also help the students highlight those spots (particularly across the complex thematic shifts between mm. 62 and 94).The grandiosity from m. 110 through the end can be pushed to its zenith, particularly if you control prior forte settings such that the end gets the grand push.CAS91FThemes in String Dreams include:1.

Music is perhaps unique among the performing arts in its ability to express and convey the subtlest nuances of human emotion. This ability is exploited in When the Spirit Soars, which attempts to capture in music the feeling of extreme happiness, sometimes almost too much to bear, that we all experience at one time or another. Often this happiness can be tinged with sadness (we can cry with joy, after all), and it is this conflict of emotions that this piece describes. There are moments of doubt as the piece progresses, but it ends in undiluted joy.

Expectations is dedicated to Larry Clark's young son. It was written with thoughts of his playful nature, which can be heard throughout the piece, while the lush, emotional opening depicts the composer's awe at being a parent to a wonderful little boy. This touching piece will stretch the musicianship of young string students, but it will be worth the journey.
Expectations is a special piece for me. I wrote it with my youngest son Benjamin in mind. Most nine year olds, as Benjamin, are full of carefree joy, wonder and excitement. It was my hope to depict that nature in the style of the piece.The piece begins sentimentally, as I remember the overwhelming joy I felt upon his birth. There is nothing that can replace the feeling of becoming a dad. Ben has always been a “daddy's boy” and is a great hugger! This first section of the piece should be lush and musical. It is important to ask young musicians to play with heart. They can certainly do it but might have to be asked to pour some emotion into bringing the music to life.After the lyrical opening the piece heads off on a carefree journey with a bouncy bass line and a jaunty tune. There are moments of counterpoint in the piece where the melody echoes itself. The musical material from the beginning returns several times as the bridge material, the glue that holds the piece together. It is my hope that if nothing else, the piece brings a smile to your face. Perhaps it can also serve to teach young students contrast and musicianship in music.It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to write this piece. I hope you andyour students enjoy it and find it useful for your program.-Larry ClarkLakeland, FL 2016.

By David Shaffer. Intermediate Wind Band/Ensemble. FJH Developing Band. This piece captures the feeling of exhilaration upon reaching the summit of a mountain. The opening three measures should be intense, immediately slowing to a mysterious woodwind choir. Measure 13 begins the musical assent, which culminates in the final moments of the work. It is important to observe indicated tempos in order to capture the energy of the music. Percussion offers a large selection of timbres with the utilization of accessories.

SSA choir, harp or piano - Medium Difficult

SKU: PL.0406

Composed by Raymond Weidner. Cathedral. Choral, Chant, Eucharist, General, Hymn. Octavo. Paraclete Press #0406. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.0406).

Raymond Weidner has created an atmospheric and beautiful work for high voices. This Lenten text is set to close harmony and a harp part of gracious beauty. Most of the work is quiet and inward, only bursting into a wider range at key moments in the text. The final alleluias are stirring in their sweep and make a memorable impression on the listener. The work closes in the same quiet feeling in which it began. O Sacrum Convivium would make a wonderful work for both accomplished treble choirs and women's choirs.

This creates it effects by the delicate accompaniment of the harp (or piano) and the translucent SSA voices. It is a contemplative work with three real vocal lines throughout and a beautiful climax. - David Halls Salisbury Cathedral March 2004.

Translation : Engl. (S. Wadsworth) (1988) / (Norbert Rubesaat) (1993); French (Jean-Pierre Wurtz) (1997) Place and time: Jail Munchen-Stadelheim, in the hour before the execution on 22nd February 1943 Characters: Sophie Scholl (soprano) / Hans Scholl (baritone or tenor) >>Weisse Rose<< (White Rose) was the name of the resistance group to which Hans and Sophie Scholl belonged. Udo Zimmermann's composition is characterized by the varying structure of its scenes: dramatic, visionary scenes, e.g. the remembered wartime experiences on the front, Sophie's anxiety about the removal of the children and the wish to see her parents one last time, contrast with contemplative monologues that are intended to provide insights into the individual's particular situation. The composer interweaves into the structure of the piece dream sequences with sudden bursts of anxiety that are not triggered by the execution that is about to take place but by the consequences of one's own actions. The result is a deliberate fusion of the various parts into one another. More than 100 different productions prove that the topic is as important as ever and that the work is both artistically rewarding and practicable. Udo Zimmermann About the piece Two young people, the siblings Sophie and Hans Scholl, are in a prison cell, one hour before they are to be put to death by their fascist executioners. Their christian convictions and sense of responsibility gave them the courage to put up resistance, resistance against the lies, the contempt for humanity and all human values. Sophie and Hans Scholl took their stand in the full knowledge that they were taking a deadly risk. They would simply not have been able to live with their feelings of shame had they not grasped the chance of fighting for what they believed in, even though it was a dangerous thing to do. Memories of past events, doubts, hopes and fears, justification of deeds and an acceptance of death, all these things happen and move in, and between, these two people during this representation of the hour before death. The orchestra provides a psycho-physical shorthand of their inner mental state. Musical effects and gestures search for their identity in human behaviour. The moments of stillness and silence provide moments of musical tension, which are just as powerful as the eruptions of fear and desperation.

More and more people are looking for a way to offset the demands of everyday life by making music. Particularly welcome are pieces that often evoke poetic, meditative moods and are good for the soul through their simple harmonies. The majority of the pieces in this book arose from this premise. They also explore the multi-faceted expressive possibilities of the piano as well: they can convey exuberance, comfort, joy, longing, compassion, mourning, anger and ecstasy, but also mystical moments. Short programmatic annotations in the musical text, along with the titles and the music on the audiotracks, awaken inner relationships that infuse more spirit into ones playing. And the possibility of expressing feelings while playing can also be a motivation to expand ones own piano-technical resources.,,Dans la selection de Michael Proksch, tout est propice a l'improvisation, plus classique que reellement jazz.

Uuno Klamin savellyksia urkusovituksina. Composed by Uuno Klami. Edited by Esa Ylonen. Score. Fennica Gehrman #55011-448-7. Published by Fennica Gehrman (FG.55011-448-7).

ISBN 9790550114487.

Uuno Klami (1900-1961) was born in Virolahti and studied in Helsinki, Paris and Vienna. While living in the capital city Helsinki, he always spent his summers in the original homestead in Virolahti.
Klami is most known for his colourful orchestral works, but works for piano frame the different times of the composer's life nicely. The piano works are so joyous that transcribing from for organ is firmly based.

Surumarssi (Trauermarsch) Op. 8 was composed when Klami was 16 years old, most likely in memory of his late mother. Pastoral A-flat major was composed in December 1919; I find it contains the feeling of Christmas. Barcarole Op. 5 is a French-influenced work. I often find myself thinking of a boat bobbing on waves, while I play this work.
I believe these organ transcriptions bring many joyful moments in concerts as well as in other congregational use. And not only that: they can be used as pedagogic material as well.

This dark, mystical work seeks to portray magical moments ranging from the most simple to the most powerful.

Wind players do not encounter any eighth notes, so they are able to focus on the style and energy of the work. Truly enchanting!

Composed by Michael Eversden. Contemporary Jazz/Rock. Coil bound booklet. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2766).

Children the world over love 'playtime'. A welcome break from lessons, a time to burn some energy and have fun. A time to play some games!

Playgroun d Games is a collection of etudes for bass trombone portraying these traditional games and reflecting on the childrens' enjoyment. We can picture them jumping, playing Hopscotch, Leapfrog and 'Skipping' (the Double Dutch version of this popular game) and running around in the fast and furious Tag! More peaceful moments are to be found when you sense the concentration during Marbles and Cat's Cradle and an exciting contest is on during Conker Fight.

These entertaining pieces are in many genres and styles, keys and meters. Some etudes are funky and rhythmic, others dance-like with waltzes and a merry gigue. They are appropriate for intermediate to advanced performers.

The etudes evoke feelings for those on the playground today and for others, bringing back happy memories.
