This arrangement is for Trombone Solo and Orchestra.Randy Newman's timeless, evergreen and sweet classic ballad comes from the original Disney Toy Story and in its 3 sequels that came after it. The unlikely and - in the early days - strained relationship between Woody and Buzz Lightyear (You ARE A CHILDS PLAYTHING...) comes to its famously happy conclusion at the end of the first movie with a blossoming friendship that we the audience know will endure through eternity, and this song caps that beautifully as only the genius of Randy newman knows how.This score is arranged for Trombone solo and orchestra and would be a perfect addition for a concert of film music or kids music event.Instrumentation :FluteOboeClarinetBassoon2 Horns2 TrumpetsTrombone (Solo)Tuba (Optional ... but certainly preferable!!)1 Percussion (Vibes)DrumsStringsCheckout www.studio-orchestrations.com for other similar arrangements and orchestrations by John Langley and Paul Campbell for sale and hire.

Published by Zane Kuchera Music (A0.1460432). 6/12/24 Zane Kuchera Music released “Hello Friend” (Pop/Jazz) performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra, a professional library. Lyrics inspired 50 years ago during the viewing of a PBS series about Chopin and George Sands. This song is one friend speaking directly to the other about life, love, illusion, entrapment, reinvention and aspiration. Words by Paul Norman Tapp, music & performance by Zane Kuchera.Reviews:“Remarkable... the angles of Miles Davis, the flow and soar of Gershwin. No wonder the lyric waited 50 years for music. Crazy good dynamics. Wonderful.” - P.N.T.“It sounds like something off of Harry Potter. It's very beautiful.” - A.I.M.“So beautiful Zane. The sweeping ocean and dance timed perfectly to the sweeping tide and movements of life. Thank you!” - B.M.“Beautiful imagery, majestic music, breathtakingly brilliant masterpiece.” - E.M.J.

Full Orchestra - Digital Download SKU: A0.1008374 Composed by Claude Debussy. Arranged by Arkady Leytush. 20th Century. Score and parts. 24 pages. Arkady Leytush #4849775. Published by Arkady Leytush (A0.1008374). Estampes (Engravings) is the title of the triptych of three pieces which Debussy put together in 1903. The first complete performance was given on 9 January 1904 in the Salle Erard, Paris, by the young Spanish pianist Ricardo Viñes, who was already emerging as the prime interpreter of the new French music of Debussy and Ravel. The first two pieces were completed in 1903, but the third derives from an earlier group of pieces from 1894, collectively titled Images, which remained unpublished until 60 years after Debussy’s death, when they were printed as Images (oubliées). Estampes marks an expansion of Debussy’s keyboard style: he was apparently spurred to fuse neo-Lisztian technique with a sensitive, impressionistic pictorial impulse under the impact of discovering Ravel’s Jeux d’eau, published in 1902. The opening movement, ‘Pagodes’, is Debussy’s first pianistic evocation of the Orient and is essentially a fixed contemplation of its object, as in a Chinese print. This static impression is partly caused by Debussy’s use of long pedal-points, partly by his almost constant preoccupation with pentatonic melodies which subvert the sense of harmonic movement. He uses such pentatonic fragments in many different ways: in delicate arabesques, in two-part counterpoint, in canon, harmonized in fourths and fifths and as an underpinning for pattering, gamelan-like ostinato writing. Altogether the piece reflects the decisive impression made on him by hearing Javanese and Cambodian musicians at the 1889 Paris Exposition, which he had striven for years to incorporate effectively in music. In its final bars the music begins to dissolve into elaborate filigree.Just as ‘Pagodes’ was his first Oriental piece, so ‘La soirée dans Grenade’ was the first of Debussy’s evocations of Spain-that preternatural embodiment of an ‘imaginary Andalusia’ which would inspire Manuel de Falla, the native Spaniard, to go back to his country and create a true modern Spanish music based on Debussyan principles. Debussy’s personal acquaintance with Spain was virtually non-existent (he had spent a day just over the border at San Sebastian) and it is possible that one model for the piece was Ravel’s Habanera. Yet he wrote of this piece (to his friend Pierre Louÿs, to whom it was dedicated), ‘if this isn’t the music they play in Granada, so much the worse for Granada!’-and there is no debate about the absolute authenticity of Debussy’s use of Spanish idioms here. Falla himself pronounced it ‘characteristically Spanish in every detail’. ‘La soirée dans Grenade’ is founded on an ostinato that echoes the rhythm of the habanera and is present almost throughout. Beginning and ending in almost complete silence, this dark nocturne of warm summer nights builds powerfully to its climaxes. The melodic material ranges from a doleful Moorish chant with a distinctly oriental character to a stamping, vivacious dance-measure, taking in brief suggestions of guitar strumming and perfumed Impressionist haze. There is even a hint of castanets near the end. The piece fades out in a coda that seems to distil all the melancholy of the Moorish theme and a last few distant chords of the guitar. ‘Jardins sous la pluie’ is based on the children’s song ‘Nous n’rons plus au bois’ (We shan’t go to the woods): its original 1894 form was in fact entitled Quelques aspects de ‘Nous n’rons plus au bois’. The two versions are really two distinct treatments of the same set of ideas, but in ‘Jardins sous la pluie’ Estampes the earlier piece has been entirely rethought. The whole conception is more impressionistic, and subtilized. The teeming semiquaver motion is more all-pervasive, the tunes (for Debussy has added a second children’s song for treatment, ‘Do, do, l’enfant do’) more elusive and tinged sometimes with melancholy or nostalgia. The ending of the piece is entirely new. What it loses, perha.

This art song is from A Cycle of Sonnets Music by 21st century, American composer James Nathaniel Holland SONNET 29 When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries And look upon myself and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd, Desiring this man's art and that man's scope, With what I most enjoy contented least; Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, Haply I think on thee, and then my state, Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate; For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

Full Orchestra - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1251990 Composed by Claude Debussy. Arranged by Arianna Cunningham. Classical,Romantic Period. 51 pages. Arianna Cunningham #846171. Published by Arianna Cunningham (A0.1251990). Recently, my piano teacher recommended me to learn Clair de Lune sometime, after she demonstrated it to me during one of my lessons. I couldn't get this beautiful romantic-like piece out of my head, so I've decided to make an orchestra arrangement.Not only I'm sharing this arrangement vfor you all, but I'm also gathering a few of my friends to make a more live version, hence most of them are multi-instrumentalists and can cover most of the parts available.
