You really must have a copy of Mercy, Mercy! GIA’s new benefit album for church musicians who were victims of the recent hurricanes. You are going to love the selections! We’ve put together a delightful and eclectic mix of tunes and texts coupled with an impressive list of composers, arrangers, and performers who, for the most part, share a common thread. Many of the selections were written or performed by folks who suffered loss during the disaster in the Gulf Coast region. Other pieces have a special musical connection to that area of the country. Ryan Meyers’ home in Mississippi suffered extensive damage as a result of the storm. ValLimar Jansen has numerous relatives who lost everything. The everpopular Dameans all met in the 1960s at Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans. We included something with a French connection: Théodore Dubois’ (1837–1924) haunting “Adoramus te Christe,” first performed on Good Friday, 1867, in Paris. There are three beloved African American spirituals. And how could we forget Rory Cooney’s arrangement of “O When the Saints Go Marching In”? There are other great songs here, but you’ll have to listen! This album will touch your heart. Best of all, your purchase will help rebuild the lives of church musicians. Both the American Guild of Organists (AGO) and the National Association of Pastoral Musicians (NPM) have set up funds to help church musicians affected by these tragic storms. The composers represented on this recording have donated their royalties, GIA Publications, Inc., has donated all production costs, KRT Select has donated the cover art for the CD, and CRTCustom Products has donated the manufacturing expenses. 100% of the retail price of this CD will be split evenly between the AGO Hurricane Relief Fund and the NPM Hurricane Assistance Fund.

UPC: 785147979913. English. Text Source: 32 selected Psalms, tr. Gracia Grindal and Jean Janzen. Text by Gracia Grindal.

Intended for use in churches and classrooms, Alice Parker has gleaned 32 of Schütz’s psalm settings from the seventeenth-century Becker Psalter. The new texts of Gracia Grindal are lyrical English versions based on the Psalms themselves, rather than literal translations of Becker’s German text. The indexes and Parker’s commentary for each setting make this a useful resource for singers, directors, and accompanists. The collection epitomizes hymn singing of the seventeenth century, just as Bach’s chorales would come to exemplify the tradition 100 years later. For today’s audience, steeped in the patterns of tonal music, these pieces—with their Renaissance freshness of mode and meter—come as a welcome tonic.

These two tests are designed to serve as objective aids to teachers in assisting their students to improvise music by providing them with appropriate opportunities and instructions. When used with judgment and wisdom, these tests will: 1. Help determine objectively whether individual students have the necessary harmonic and rhythmic readiness to learn to improvise, 2. Indicate what types of general instruction in improvisation are most beneficial for individual students, and 3. Assist teachers in adapting instruction to each student’s individual needs. Each test is less than 20 minutes long and can be machine scored. The extensive manual includes information on how to score and interpret test results. These new tests mark a major new achievement in music testing, developed by the principal leader in music testing, Edwin E. Gordon. .

This Grade 2 original work was inspired by the tender poem of the same name by Sara Teasdale. Gentle phrases capture the wistful hope the poet felt as she contemplated the steadfast stars that burn steadily as long ago even as the world changed below. The lyrical melody provides developing players opportunities to work on tone, slurs, and expressive playing with one easy key change from D major to G major. A shift from major to minor tonality reflects the bittersweet stanzas that lament the loss of youthful dreams amidst the turmoil of life, even while admiring the faithful beauty of the celestial constellations. The dreamy piece evokes images of shimmering stars in the cold December night, with shadows shaken on the snow, offering a tranquil winter concert selection.

At a 1923 concert dedicated to the music of J.S. Bach put on by the great violinist Joseph Szigeti, fellow violinist and composer Eugène Ysaÿe (1858-1931) was deeply moved and inspired, leading to a sketch produced in twenty-four hours for a cycle of six sonatas for unaccompanied violin, each modeled after the style of a different virtuoso, capturing something of each performer's style in the piece for whom it was written. The final result was Ysaÿe's Op. 27, Six Sonatas for Solo Violin. The work has remained immensely popular since it was composed, having been interpreted and recorded many times by the very best violinists of the past 100 years. Sonatas and dedicatees: 1. Sonata in G minor (Joseph Szigeti); 2. Sonata in A minor (Jacques Thibaud); 3. Sonata in D minor (George Enescu); 4. Sonata in E minor (Fritz Kreisler); 5. Sonata in G Major (Mathieu Crickboom); 6. Sonata in E Major (Manuel Quiroga). Reprint edition.
