Percussion Ensemble - Digital Download SKU: A0.961994 Composed by Ma Shui Long 馬水é¾. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score and parts. 20 pages. SpringAutumnmusic #48525. Published by SpringAutumnmusic (A0.961994). Introduction:The Lament of Tou-Ehr, for Suona, Timpani, Percussion, and Chorus 　　This work was composed for a Chinese dance drama Snow Festival. The drama was based on an extremely touching story about a lady named Doue E, and was written by the author Guan Hanqing during the Yuan Dynasty. It is divided into three sections in a cyclic form, with one theme. The instrumentation includes voices for male and female, suona (Chinese cornet), there are more than ten traditional Chinese percussions are used, such as the wind gong, large and small luo (as used in Beijing opera), and the Chinese clapper, Paiban. The sound of suona indicates the lady Dou E with her battle cry and strong faith. The music begins after lady Dou E’s faint narrative. ※The Lament of Tou-Ehr was commissioned by the Neo Classical Music Group. The dance was arranged by Fon-xuei Liu, with orchestra and chorus conducted by the composer, Shui-long Ma himself. It was recorded by the Yun-de Company, and premiered at the Taiwan National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in April 1981. 《竇娥冤》本曲改編自「舞劇雪ç¥ã€ï¼Œå–æ自ä¸åœ‹å…ƒä»£æˆ²æ›²ä¸é—œæ¼¢å¿çš„作å“-「感天動地竇娥冤ã€ã€‚æœ¬æ›²ç•¥åˆ†ä¸‰æ®µï¼Œé€£æ¨‚ç« å½¢å¼ï¼Œæ¨‚曲çµæ§‹ç‚ºä¸€è²«æ€§çš„主題延展。作曲者在編制上使用人è²(男女混è²)ã€å—©å¶ï¼Œä»¥åŠå多件傳統擊樂器，如風鑼ã€å¹³åŠ‡å¤§å°é‘¼ã€æ‹æ¿ç‰ç‰ã€‚在整曲進行ä¸ï¼Œå‡¡æ˜¯æœ‰ç«‡å¨¥å‡ºç¾ä¹‹è™•ï¼Œå—©å¶ä¹Ÿå°‡éš¨ä¹‹å¥å‡ºï¼Œé‚£æ˜¯å¤©ç†çš„å¶å–Šã€ç²¾ç¥žä¿¡å¿µä¹‹æ‰€åœ¨ã€‚全曲在一段竇娥幽幽的é“白之後，å¾å¾å±•é–‹ã€‚※本曲為新å¤å…¸æ¨‚團委託創作之作å“，由舞蹈家劉鳳å¸ç·¨èˆžã€é¦¬æ°´é¾æŒ‡æ®æ¨‚團與人è²ã€éŸ»å¾·éŒ„音公å¸éŒ„音，於1980å¹´4月在å°åŒ—國父紀念館舉行世界首演。 .

Film/TV. 51 pages. Frits_Renting #866319. Published by Frits_Renting (A0.1274188). Side note: This version is for medium/big percussion ensemblesEN:This composition was written for one of the parts of the D exam by Frits Renting. The starting point of the composition was: film music. Inspired by well-known works by Hans Zimmer, Brian Tyler, John Williams and works by De Efteling. The composition starts in a fairly small composition in which, with the help of crescendos and several instruments, it works towards a strong, but above all open and cheerful part. This is followed by a short untuned percussion solo. After this, theme A is closed in a calm, non-violent manner. Immediately theme B comes in which is built up through crescendos and multiple instruments over time. Theme B also comes to a quiet end afterwards. After this theme A and B return at the same time, which builds up and closes in a grandiose way.NL:Deze compositie is geschreven voor één van de onderdelen van het D examen van Frits Renting. Het uitgangsdoel van de compositie was: filmmuziek. Geïnspireerd door bekende werken van Hans Zimmer, Brian Tyler, John Williams en werken van De Efteling. De compositie begint in een vrij kleine samenstelling waarbij, met behulp van crescendo's en meerdere instrumenten, het zich toewerkt naar een sterk, maar vooral open en vrolijk gedeelte. Dit wordt opgevolgd door een korte ongestemde slagwerk solo. Hierna wordt thema A op een rustige, geweldloze manier afgesloten. Direct komt thema B binnenvallen wat word opgebouwd door middel van crescendo's en meerdere instrumenten in loop van de tijd. Ook komt thema B daarna tot rustig einde. Hierna komen thema A en B tegelijkertijd terug wat zich opbouwt en op een grandioze manier, zich afsluit.

Percussion Ensemble - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.935383 Composed by Franz Xaver Gruber. Arranged by Dan Heslink. Christian,Christmas. Score and parts. 20 pages. Pharaoh Publications #5363007. Published by Pharaoh Publications (A0.935383). Silent Night Prelude for Percussion Octet arr. by Dan Heslink This work is based on the well-loved Christmas carol, composed in 1818 by Franz Xaver Gruber. This theme is so popular that it was declared an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2011. And the version sung by Bing Crosby in 1935 is the fourth best-selling single recording of all-time. It’s sure to motivate your audience close to Christmas. The Prelude begins with a brisk tempo. Although notated in 3, as is customary in more modern renditions (the original theme was notated in 6), the tempo must be fast enough that two measures of 3 create a binary pairing (like 6/4 in two). It may be necessary to slightly slow down the roll speed to avoid a frenetic sound. The difficulty level is easy. There are no changes of key, and the timpani part requires only two drums (Bb, F) with no tuning changes. The vibe part could be played with two mallets, but might execute more comfortably with three. The other keyboard parts use only two mallets each. The expression of this beautiful tune will be greatly enhanced by exaggerating the contrasts of dynamics. Accompaniment and ornamental figures must at all times be sublimated to the familiar theme. At the last strain, players should sing the well-known words in order to lead the audience or congregation in group singing. It would be helpful for the conductor to turn and face the audience at this point. This closing passage may be repeated for any number of sung verses. Use a smooth, relaxed stroke to elicit as much legato as possible. At points a continuous arpeggio accompaniment is divided among the instruments. Care must be taken to keep the sixteenth note speed consistent. The opening runs should be performed half-pedal on the vibes for clarity. Prelude on Silent Night would serve equally well in recital or in a church service. Duration is 3:10. The arranger, Dan Heslink, can be contacted at dan@dheslink.com
