This 'Musical Garden for Babies' extends an invitation to babies of up to 18 months and their parents to join in a musical game. Making music together at this early stage provides the child with nourishment in three respects: for body, soul and brain. Through songs, rhymes and movement games children and those closest to them can enjoy discovering their own voices and bodies. Simple instruments such as wood blocks, rattles and drums lead the child into the world of sounds. Research has confirmed the positive influence of musical activity on the overall development of the child - in its musical ability, its social relationships and its intelligence. A lesson in the 'Musical Garden for Babies' is structured around the following activities: greeting and farewell songs - rhymes and games for bouncing baby on your knee - finger games and songs to develop awareness of the body - rocking songs and lullabies - songs for dancing and moving about to - echo games - introducing simple instruments - playing with pieces of cloth - listening to music. The teacher's book contains information on infant development, explanations of the principles behind teaching and plenty of ideas for lessons. The song books with CD make it possible to take the 'sound environment' of the music lesson home with you and to keep singing and enjoying the songs with the family.

SKU: CF.YAS183F

Composed by Kathryn Griesinger. Young String Orchestra (YAS). Full score. With Standard notation. 8 pages. Carl Fischer Music #YAS183F. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.YAS183F).

ISBN 9781491151853. UPC: 680160909353. 9 x 12 inches.

Kathryn Griesinger builds the forceful minor theme of Centrifuge on a repeating motif of rotating eighth notes. Based on the scientific principle of centripetal force, this piece offers a vortex of expanding and falling energy, with easy finger patterns in first position. Centrifuge is a whirlwind of excitement, and it is well within the reach of developing players. An optional piano part is also included.
Like the rotational force of the mechanical centrifuge, a repeating eighth-note motif gives this piece the feel of a spinning cyclone, constantly building energy and momentum. Driving rhythms in the cello and bass should be strong and steady. Viola and Violin 2 parts are written closely, often doubled for a strong echoing voice. Eighth-note patterns sound best if played at the middle or balance point of the bow, to enable easy transitions between springy, short staccatos and long, full half notes on the string. Students have ample opportunities to practice low-two finger patterns and create dramatic dynamic contrasts. The pizzicato section should remain steady, maintaining a sense of urgency and excitement. The dark minor tonality and sense of motion make this a powerful piece students will love to play!

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 3

SKU: BT.GOB-000438-140

Composed by Rob Goorhuis. Score Only. 20 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000438-140. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000438-140).

Written as a commission by the Stichting de Inrichting foundation of Wijk bij Duurstede (the Netherlands), Rob Goorhuis Requiem voor de mens (Requiem for Man) on lyrics by André van Zwieten was composed in the year 2001.
This work for choir andwind-band greatly impressed the audience, whilst its composer remained obsessed by its war theme.

When he subsequently heard that the Rundfunk Blasorchester from the German town of Leipzig -a place not far from Colditz - was to dedicate a CDto his work, Rob Goorhuis got the idea to process some of the themes from his Requiem for Man into an instrumental composition about the famous Colditz castle. a place still bearing the scars of war.

From 1933 to 1934, the castle was aSchutzhaftlager. During the Second World War, it was used as a prison for senior officers. From this prison, many escapes were undertaken, which even resulted in the castle being nicknamed The Escape School. In the seventies, a television-seriesabout this period made the castle very well-known with the public at large.

The despondent tone of the opening theme underscores the sadness caused by wars and violence. Nevertheless the works ending is hopeful and triumphant. Peace iscelebrated, but with the hope for a lasting peace sadly remaining a topical issue to the present moment.

In 2001 schreef Rob Goorhuis, op teksten van André van Zwieten het Requiem voor de Mens, in opdracht van de Stichting de Inrichting uit Wijk bij Duurstede.
Dit werk voor koor en harmonie-orkest maakte grote indruk op het publiek, terwijl decomponist bleef geobsedeerd door het oorlogs thema.

Toen hij later hoorde dat het Rundfunk Blasorchester uit de Duitse stad Leipzig, een plaats niet ver van Colditz, gevraagd was om een cd te wijden aan zijn werk, kreeg Rob Goorhuis het ideeom enkele van de themas uit zijn Requiem voor de Mens te verwerken tot een instrumentale compositie over de beroemde kasteel Colditz, een plaats met nog steeds de littekens van de oorlog.
Het kasteel van Colditz heeft in de historie eenbelangrijke rol gespeeld. Het eeuwenoude kasteel overleefde vele veldslagen en oorlogen. In de Tweede Wereldoorlog diende het kasteel zelfs als gevangenis voor geallieerde officieren. Het aantal ontsnappingen was echter talrijk en de geromantiseerdeBritse TV-serie uit de jaren zeventig over dat onderwerp gaf het kasteel een grote bekendheid.
Het driedelige werk beschrijft de periode voor, tijdens en na de Tweede Wereldoorlog.

De angst voor dat wat staat te gebeuren en het verdrietvan jaren van oorlog in het kalme sfeervolle eerste deel. Vervolgens de hoop op beter en positievere geluiden in het tweede en derde deel. Vooral het derde flitsende deel houdt de hoop op betere tijden springlevend.

Brass Band - Grade 2

SKU: BT.GOB-000729-030

Composed by William Vean. Set (Score & Parts). 104 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000729-030. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000729-030).

In this composition William Vean takes you on a journey through the fascinating and exciting world of animals. Apart from it being a composition filled with special effects, Animal Kingdom contains many educational elements, such as playing inswing (triplets feeling), chromatics, flutter tonguing, gypsy tuning, varying keys, and, of course, dynamics and articulation. The melodic lines occur in all four voices, as well as in all percussion parts, providing each musician with theopportunity to play a solo or to accompany.
Highly recommended for your youth band!

William Vean is an educational composer. He knows how to musically shape the special elements from our daily lives. His music is therefore veryexpressive, containing creative solutions to possible problems. Special ways of playing make his music particularly interesting for the winds, but the percussion section is also featured in his special effects.

The world of the animalsalways plays on ones imagination. In Animal Kingdom, William Vean has portrayed a number of animals in a special manner:

Kevin Kangaroo - The jumping character of this animal can be heard in different voices. The swing style alsoemphasizes the characteristic movements of the kangaroo. Playing in swing style can be practised by using scales.

Eddy Elephant - For some of his smaller fellow fauna friends this can be quite an ordeal, but for Eduard (Eddy for friendsand intimates) it is his daily walk.

Baldrick Bat - Baldrick the Bat is a mysterious character. This can be heard in the fast moving valves and keys, accompanied by special effects in the percussion section.

Curtis Camel - Curtisthe Camel trudges across the desert, feeling bored. The idea that the horizon will never change does not affect him anymore. He has accepted his fate. The distinctive tones from the gypsy scale provide the suitable oriental sounds.

BettyButterfly - Butterfly Betty elegantly, and without worries, flutters from flower to flower in the garden. Her motto: Carpe Diem (Seize the Day). Betty is a one-day butterfly.

Marvin Monkey - A swing monkey stirs up the feelings. Evenmembers of the orchestra will look like real monkeys. How about your audience?

Each part has its own difficulties and challenges.
Important in the first part is playing in swing (triplets feeling). This can be practised usingscales.
In the second part ensemble playing and balance are important.
In Baldrick additional information on the effects that have to be played might be useful. New sounds are, of course, welcome.
Curtis the Camel introduces thegypsy scale. Additional explanation of the use of the scale might be useful. Key changes are interesting in this part. A slight accent on the first beat of the bar will add to the charm of this part.
Marvin the Monkey brings back the swingrhythm that was introduced in the first part, alternated by a straight part with attention to chromatics and articulation.

A story teller will definitely be an asset when performing this composition.

Willi am Vean neemt u mee in de fascinerende en verrassende wereld van het dierenrijk.
Naast leuke speelmuziek vol ''special effects'', is deze compositie zeer educatief van opzet.
Als interessant inhoudelijke zaken komenonder andere aan de orde - het in swing spelen (triolen feeling), chromatiek, flatterzunge, zigeunertoonsoort, afwisselende maatsoorten en natuurlijk dynamiek en articulatie.
Tevens lopen de melodielijnen zowel door alle 4 destemmen als alle percussie partijen, zodat iedere muzikant de gelegenheid krijgt om te soleren dan wel te begeleiden.
Een aanrader voor uw jeugdorkest!

De dierenwereld spreekt muzikaal gezien altijd tot de verbeelding.William Vean heeft op bijzondere wijze een aantal dieren neergezet.
De componist weet op een bijzondere wijze elementen uit het dagelijkse leven muzikaal vorm te geven. Zijn muziek is daarom erg beeldend, de problemen aanwijsbaarmaar de oplossingen zijn creatief.
Voor blazers bijzonder interessant door de bijzondere speelmanieren maar het slagwerk is ook bedeeld met een aantal 'special effects'.

Kevin Kangaroo - Het springerige karakterwordt door verschillende stemmen neergezet. De swingende speelstijl benadrukt de karakteristieke bewegingen van de kangoeroe. Let op de specifieke swingstijl. Heel goed te oefenen met toonladders.

Eddy Elephant - Voor sommigekleinere faunagenoten elke keer weer een beproeving maar voor Eduard (Eddy voor vrienden en intimi) is dit zijn dagelijkse wandelingetje. Giro 224544 t.b.v. de geleden schade.

Baldrick Bat - De vleermuis Baldrick is eenmysterieus type. Dat mysterieuze aspect wordt auditief weergegeven door het snel indrukken van ventielen en kleppen, ondersteund door slagwerkeffecten.

Curtis Camel - De kameel Curtis hobbelt verveeld door de woestijn.

Kevin Kangaroo - Het springerige karakterwordt door verschillende stemmen neergezet. De swingende speelstijl benadrukt de karakteristieke bewegingen van de kangoeroe. Let op de specifieke swingstijl. Heel goed te oefenen met toonladders.

Curtis Camel - De kameel Curtis hobbelt verveeld door de woestijn.
