A fun novelty piece that, without the script, becomes a perfect concert or festival selection! Two for one! This parody of a virtual rehearsal/concert can be performed live or virtually and is equally effective in providing humor or a way to frame a community-building discussion of the current learning situation for students. Feel free to adapt the script to your students. The energetic Stamitz arrangement features the first violins yet lies well for all sections and will go together well. It is a great review of chromatic alterations with a few in each part. Zoomies, a Virtual Concert featuring Sinfonia in D by Johann Stamitz and arranged by Bob Phillips is sure to be musically satisfying and fun!

The Andante opening Sonata 3, in D minor, demonstrates Balicourt’s mastery of a an entirely natural lyricism that is elegant without ever becoming bland. The vivacious Allegro that follows has an endearing playfulness reminiscent of Vivaldi. The third movement, Andante, moves to F major and is noteworthy for some delightful imitative play between flute and bass. A sprightly Minuetto brings up the rear. Sonata 4, in A minor, opens with a Largo of an almost Handelian gravitas. It is followed by a fleet-footed Allegro that at several points contains figurations derived from violinistic style as exemplified by Vivaldi. For the concluding movement, a graceful Affettuoso, Balicourt switches to A major, a way of lightening the mood that in 1750 was not yet common but very soon was to become a favoured practice in minor-key works.

Eckhardt's two-movement work Polarities was written for chamber ensemble, beginning with a lively, virtuosic opening and giving way to a spare, quiet section. In fact, the slower, more thoughtful writing serves as the anchor of this work.

The mainly unison, easy chorus parts in BATTLE HYMN 2000 mean you CAN prepare James Hosay's imaginative and inspiring version of The Battle Hymn of the Republic for performance, even though opportunities for combined chorus and band rehearsals are hard to find. In fact, the dress rehearsal may be all you need to put on the finishing touches. It makes a spine-tingling finale for a combined choral/band concert (it can also be used as a stand-alone band piece). For a thrilling addition, consider having the chorus surround the audience while the band remains on stage. The surround-sound effect can be magnificent and it gives each member of the chorus a little personal stardom.Don't forget, having one piece at the end of the concert which includes everyone always helps to make sure you maintain a full house for all your performing groups.

The new Breitkopf Urtext edition by Joshua Rifkin draws on all relevant sources to restore the Mass to the state in which Bach left it for posterity. This means, first, a clear separation of the Kyrie and Gloria from the earlier Missa of 1733. Moreover, in the Credo the Symbolum Nicenum Rifkin has faced the challenge of sweeping away the overlay of additions by C.P.E. Bach and eliminating his alterations more thoroughly than Friedrich Smend had in the Neue Bach Ausgabe of 1954 and in later editions as well.The NBA edition of this work has long been thought to be unsatisfactory, so in this case Breitkopf study score is better as well as a few euros cheaper.

Scripture: Psalms.

The Te Deum is a hymn of thanksgiving, and in the Liber Usualis it is the first such hymn listed. The text is a composite, with some original words and some quoted directly from the psalms. One of the most obvious stylistic factors of the prayer is that each line begins, almost without exception in the invocation part of the prayer, with some form of second-person address. This piece is designed to be performed by small or large forces. It may be performed with as few as 12 to 16 singers, 1 each of the Double Reeds and Strings, 1 Organist and 1 Percussionist. If large forces are employed, the number of instrumentalists should be increased to maintain a proportionate balance, i.e., the orchestra should never overshadow the chorus. The dynamics used by the Organist and Percussionist(s) must always be relative to the size of the ensemble as well. In this connection, for a large ensemble, use plate cymbals instead of suspended cymbal (2 percussionists will be required). At the discretion of the conductor, plate cymbals may be employed where appropriate for the somewhat smaller ensembles.

Sondra K. Tucker has written the impassioned Seasons of Life, for three to five octaves of handbells. This memorial piece is both hauntingly beautiful and powerfully life-affirming. Though marked a level four, most choirs capable of ringing a level three piece ought to be able to work this one up with a modest effort, and the result will be well worth it. Mallets and singing bell are used sparingly throughout, but always to good effect. Perfect for a memorial service or general use. 3-5 octaves level 4.
