Woodwind Ensemble Bassoon,Clarinet,Oboe - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1184728 Composed by alan Edgar and John Milton. 20th Century,Chamber. 54 pages. Alan Edgar Ted Moon #784409. Published by Alan Edgar Ted Moon (A0.1184728). Paradise Lost by The English poet John Milton is an epic occupying twelve books, totalling more than ten thousand five hundred lines. It retells the tale of the Fall of Mankind – the moment when Eve was enticed by Satan to eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge and then tempted Adam to do the same, and as a result both were banished from the Garden of Eden. Milton imagines far more detail than the Holy Bible. This song presents the story from Adam’s point of view, so I selected relevant passages in Paradise Lost, where Milton imagines Adam’s thoughts and experiences; and I edited them for scansion, to suit a more modern ear, and to make a logical sequence of events. Adam bemoans the deception of Eve by the Serpent and his own shame.  Then he hears Archangel Michael  pronounce the couple’s sentence of banishment from Eden. Next he laments his having to leave Eden. Michael warns him that there will be consequences for all his descendants, and he is given a vision of those horrid consequences—murder, disease and misery. They leave Eden, and Adam hymns of his renewed worshipful attitude,  of a final acceptance of their new more ordinary life.DURATION:  11 minutes.INSTRUMENTATION:  Tenor(c to top c), with either a reed quartet (Oboes, Clarinet and Bassoon) or string quartet.  Dress optional.

Bassoon,Clarinet,Double Bass,Flute,Horn,Oboe - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1251539 Composed by Arr. Michael Sweeney and Percy Aldridge Grainger. Arranged by Ray Thompson. 20th Century,Folk. 24 pages. RayThompsonMusic #845816. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.1251539). Lincolnshire Posy is a musical composition by Percy Grainger for concert band commissioned in 1937 by the American Bandmasters Association. Considered by John Bird, the author of Grainger's biography, to be his masterpiece, the 16-minute-long work has six movements, each adapted from folk songs that Grainger had collected on a 1905–1906 trip to Lincolnshire, England.In a similar fashion to these folk songs, many of the movements are in strophic form.This is my arrangement of No.VI. The Lost Lady FoundArranged symphonic wind dectet (double wind quintet) and bassA lilting 3/4 melody in strophic form. As the tempo is too fast for the conductor to gesture each beat of every measure, the movement is typically conducted in 1 where each gesture given by the conductor indicates a full measure instead of each beat. Every section of the ensemble states the theme at some point in the movement.This movement is based on the ballad of the same name,in which a lady, who while living with her uncle in a village is kidnapped by three Roma. After being missing for a long time, the villagers begin to speculate that the uncle is responsible for her disappearance, later imprisoning him and condemning him to death. At some point, the lady was found in Dublin by a young squire who loved her and was subsequently brought back to the village. Upon return to the village, the villagers, mere moments away from executing the uncle at the gallows, realized their error and set the uncle free, celebrating the lady's return with church bells (which are emulated by the tubular bells in the closing of the movement), music, and frivolity.As this movement was not yet completed at the time of the work's premiere, it was omitted for the performance.For Info:Green Bushes is an English folk song  which is featured in the second movement of Vaughan Williams's English Folk Song Suite, in Percy Grainger's Green Bushes (Passacaglia on an English Folksong), and in George Butterworth's The Banks of Green Willow. The melody is very similar to that of the Lost Lady Found movement.

TTBarBarBB chorus - Digital Download SKU: BJ.1428 Hatten ramlade av. I lost my hat. Composed by Pilar Miralles. Arranged by Sten Kallman. Award-winner! Secular. Octavo. 12 pages. Bo Ejeby Forlag - Digital #1428. Published by Bo Ejeby Forlag - Digital (BJ.1428). 8.27 x 11.7 inches.Winner of the 1st prize in Linkopings Studentsangare Composition Award 2020! This four-minutes piece for male voice choir in six parts opposes chords with the darkest and the brighter sound in different moments, as well as static and dynamic sections throughout the entire work, all of this due to the contraposition that the lyrics present: the text can be understood as an irony related to the current situation of reality observed from our usually comfortable lifes. - Maria de Pilar Miralles Castillo.

Small Ensemble Flute,High Voice,Low Voice,Piano - Digital Download SKU: A0.852560 Composed by Pat Holmberg. 20th Century,Christian,Sacred. Score and parts. 8 pages. Patricia Tanttila Holmberg #54741. Published by Patricia Tanttila Holmberg (A0.852560). This has a Biblical text, and was written for a friend who had lost her daughter at age 18 months in an accident. A year or so later, she was approached by a family whose teenage daughter was pregnant about the possibility of adopting the child. Both families were in our church at the time, and the adoptive mother and the birth grandfather both sang in the choir. It was an open adoption....the baby girl is now off to college, and the two families have been close for all these years. This was first performed in our church by the birth mother and the adoptive mother. Many people knew the story, and it was a poignant moment. This song was performed first in 1997.

Transposed to an easier guitar keyHistory:1. **Release Date**: The Night We Met was released on April 7, 2015, as part of Lord Huron's second studio album, *Strange Trails*.2. **Album**: *Strange Trails* features a mix of folk, rock, and indie sounds. The album was well-received for its cohesive narrative and cinematic quality.3. **Song Theme**: The Night We Met is a melancholic song about longing, regret, and the pain of lost love. The lyrics reflect a desire to return to a pivotal moment in the past.4. **Popular Culture**: The song gained widespread recognition after being featured in the Netflix series *13 Reasons Why* in 2017. It played during a significant dance scene in the series, which helped boost its popularity.5. **Chart Performance**: Following its feature in *13 Reasons Why*, The Night We Met saw a surge in popularity, charting on the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching high positions on various streaming platforms.6. **Live Performances**: The Night We Met is a staple in Lord Huron's live performances.

I wonder if this site will ever allow me to offer .midi and .xml? It's nice how some sites offer the ability to transpose to any key.Social Media:https://allmylinks.com/brianstreckfushttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078682133421https://www.patreon.com/brianstreckfushttps://www.brianstreckfus.comhttps://www.facebook.com/classicalguitar2015/https://twitter.com/BrianStreckfushttps://www.instagram.com/brianstreckfus/https://www.youtube.com/user/woodenboxengineerhttps://www.facebook.com/Doppelganger-106026062029620/https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-streckfus-9b334a92/https://steemit.com/@boxengineerhttps://d.tube/#!/c/brian0streckfus0guitarhttps://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/en-US/Search.aspx?query=Brian%2BStreckfushttps://www.sheetmusicplus.com/publishers/brian-streckfus-sheet-music/3027331https://belairmusicstudios.com/product/brian-streckfus/https://soundcloud.com/streckfusclassicalguitar.

Wind Ensemble - Digital Download SKU: IZ.WES151-S Composed by Dan Goeller. Arranged by Frederick Umar. Score. 15 pages. Imagine Music - Digital #WES151-S. Published by Imagine Music - Digital (IZ.WES151-S). 9 x 12 in inches.In accepting this commission, my thoughts were to create a work that incorporated the rich history of Chautauqua and its pure, innocent, ruralAmericana experience. Seeing its heritage was grounded in a nondenominational understanding of God, which incorporated both secular andspiritual experience, it seemed fitting to arrange a work that bound these two ideals into one work. The arrangement opens with a stately expressionof valor, dignity, and innocence lost - developing gently through a series of tonal and textural adaptations of the hymn tune until it finds a stately tuttiexpression for the ensemble. But the end is delayed by the arrival of a false cadence at rehearsal D, which embraces a 'river dance' with a variety ofpercussive features. The idea here is one of 'beauty from ashes' and 'joy coming in the new mornings dew.' The reeds are now used to express thebagpipe above the thrusts of the percussion. Soon, the hymn tune is heard again, supported by the rhythmic dance in reeds, brass, and percussion -now filled with the joy of community participation. Each counter-melodic line is somewhat of a statement now - and, must be heard in itsuniqueness. It is as if the birds have begun to sing again, each in their own language, of the wonderment surrounding the new day. Hope has onceagain sprung upon the community through music.Take your time through the reminiscent, Americana moments, and enjoy the dance thoroughly!
