Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1139588 Composed by Teresa Young. Arranged by Teresa Young. Christian,Easter,Praise & Worship,Sacred,Spiritual. Score. 6 pages. Teresa Young #739863. Published by Teresa Young (A0.1139588). Teresa Young's setting of this haunting Lenten traditional is for one or more soloists and piano. The arrangement is rubato and meditative, but tension rises throughout, as each of four verses ascends a half-step. The resulting rigor and intensity make multiple soloists a practical and compelling approach.

Piano,Vocal,Voice - Digital Download SKU: A0.893914 Composed by Joan Bujacich. 20th Century,Contemporary,Sacred,Spiritual. Score. 7 pages. Joan Bujacich #6212183. Published by Joan Bujacich (A0.893914). This is the Devotion No. 2, With Wonder from : Three Devotions For Classical Voice and Piano by Joan Bujacich. This Devotion is mysterious and humbling as it depicts the beauty of God's creation. It is the most advanced musically of the three with the piano looping rhythmic figures that create tension and intrigue, while the voice floats above melodiously. The video set to the music, linked below to Youtube, features abstract paintings and photographs chosen are by various artists. They demonstrate the unifying message of love and respect for life, our planet, the universe and God. Though this Devotion can be performed on its own, it does balance nicely between the other two if an artist performed all three. It can also be purchased here on SMP with the other two under the title Three Devotions For Voice and Piano. All Three Devotions were recorded by mezzo soprano, Kathy Knittel, and the composer, Joan Bujacich on piano.

Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1324262 Composed by Amos Elkana. 21st Century,Contemporary. Score. 10 pages. Amos Elkana #912460. Published by Amos Elkana (A0.1324262). In this composition, we delve into the enigmatic world of Ikkyu Sojun, a 15th-century Zen Buddhist monk renowned for his poetry that defies conventional boundaries. Ikkyu's work often reflects Zen principles, blending deep philosophical insights with a stark, often provocative simplicity. Among his most striking poems is Crow with No Mouth, a piece that captures the essence of Zen’s emphasis on the ineffable nature of reality and the limits of language.Crow With No Mouth Hearing a crow with no mouthCry in the deepDarkness of the night,I feel a longing forMy father before he was born. In these lines, Ikkyu conjures an image that is as perplexing as it is profound. The crow, a traditional symbol of mystery and the unknown, is rendered even more inscrutable by its lack of a mouth - a paradoxical figure that seems to transcend ordinary existence. This poem encapsulates the Zen concept of mu, or the negation of fixed concepts, challenging the listener to embrace the boundless nature of understanding.In my composition, I have strived to translate this philosophical depth into music. The interplay between the piano and the voice is crafted to reflect the paradoxical imagery of the poem. The music moves through moments of tension and release, mirroring the poem’s journey from perplexity to a serene acceptance of the unknown.This piece is an invitation to explore the spaces between notes, between words, where the essence of understanding might lie.The emotional core of this composition is also deeply personal. It resonates with my own longing for my father, who passed away seven years prior to the creation of this work. Just as Ikkyu's poem reflects a yearning for a connection with the past, this music embodies my own journey of grief, memory, and the search for peace in the echoes of loss. The intertwining of my personal narrative with Ikkyu’s profound words aims to offer a universal contemplation on the themes of absence, longing, and the ephemeral nature of existence.In creating this work, my aim has been to offer not just a musical experience, but a doorway into the profound simplicity of Zen thought. Through the synthesis of voice, piano, and Ikkyu's evocative poetry, we embark on a journey that transcends the mere act of listening, inviting contemplation, and perhaps, a glimpse into the boundless sky of our own perception.

Der Ring des Nibelungen. Composed by Richard Wagner (1813-1883). This edition: vocal/piano score. Erstveroffentlichung, Festspiel, Oper. Wagner Urtext Piano/Vocal Scores. Downloadable. Schott Music - Digital #Q25919. Published by Schott Music - Digital
German.<br> <br> An important addition to our newly produced orchestral materials is the first publication of vocal scores of Wagner's ten great operas, in every important version, based on the Complete Edition.<br> <br> The score corresponds to the performance materials from the Complete Edition.<br> For practical use in rehearsal cues and bar numbers throughout.<br> The publisher has secured the services of renewed musicologists associated with the Richard Wagner Complete Edition who convey detailed information in critical forewords.<br> The forewords are given in three languages(German, English, French).<br> Uniform and attractive front cover designs with reproductions of paintings from the Wagner era underline the series design of the edition.<br> <br> DIE WALKURE<br> <br> In the tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen [The Ring of the Nibelung] which was subtitled by Wagner as A stage festival play for three days and a preliminary evening, Die Walkure [The Valkyrie] forms the first day following Das Rheingold as the preliminary evening. The beginning of the history of the origins of the tetralogy is frequently placed in 1848 when Wagner compiled a prose sketch entitled Die Nibelungensage (Erstschrift) [The Nibelung Saga (first draft)] or Die Sage von den Nibelungen (Reinschrift) [The Saga of the Niblelungs (fair copy)] which would suggest that this was already the text for the Ring des Nibelungen, but the actual concept for the tetralogy did not actually evolve until the autumn of 1851. When Wagner first compiled the libretto for the heroic opera Siegfried's Tod [Siegfried's Death] in November 1848 - during his period of employment as Hofkapellmeister[court music director] in Dresden - he was in fact only planning a single opera and continued to adhere to this concept even after his involvement in the failed Dresden uprising in 1849 and subsequent escape to Switzerland. He began with the composition of Siegfried's Tod in the summer of 1850 in Zurich, but soon laid it aside. He returned to the project almost a year later in May 1851 with the idea of a two-part drama: to lend the plot greater conclusiveness, Siegfried's Tod would be preceded by a second opera entitled Der junge Siegfried [The Young Siegfried], subsequently shortened to Siegfried, but this extension was still insufficient to satisfy Wagner's dramatic-dramaturgic aspirations. In November 1851, he began the first text drafts for Das Rheingold and Die Walkure which were followed by the libretti in 1852: Die Walkure was completed in June 1852.<br> <br> The premiere of Die Walkure was held in Munich on 26 June 1870, but without Wagner's specific permission as he did not wish the operas to be performed separately. He held the opinion that Die Walkure was only logical and comprehendible within the context of the complete tetralogy. Wagner had however not only made a present of the autograph score to King Ludwig II of Bavaria who had been his generous benefactor since 1864, but had also sold him the rights to the tetralogy. The king was eager to experience performances of the already finished parts and Wagner was therefore powerless to prevent him from commanding performances of the individual operas. The premiere of Die Walkure within the context of the tetralogy took place in 1876 at the first Bayreuth Festival.<br> <br> (Egon Voss, quoted from the foreword of the new Die Walkure vocal score. translated by Lindsay Chalmers-Gerbracht)
