Chamber Orchestra - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.596576 Composed by Juan MarÃÂa Solare. 20th Century,Christian,Contemporary,Wedding. Score and parts. 12 pages. Juan Maria Solare #4810669. Published by Juan Maria Solare (A0.596576). Meditative piece for chamber orchestra (2222.2200.timp.strings) Character: noble and majestic. Reflective, meditative. The title is an allusion to the Bible (Mark 11:23, Matthew 17:20, Matthew 21:21). If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. One possible interpretation is that the inner mountain symbolize those troubles and issues that you can speak to, i.e. face, and therefore solve. Listen to it on all usual streaming platforms: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5kuPwSQGnXK9CY9QNX4fks Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/speak-to-your-mountain-and-move-it-single/1462303377 Bandcamp: https://juanmariasolare.bandcamp.com/album/speak-to-your-mountain-and-move-it Nico Zwaneveld from the blog Christian Dance wrote (10 August 2019): Maybe you can appreciate the works of Hans Zimmer, Gustav Mahler, Edvard Grieg... or maybe this introduction to Juan Maria Solare will cause you to add him to the same list when you are looking for additions to your music collection... let's just say for those special moments where other music genres will not be able to bring you the same feelings of hope, serenity, calmness, nobleness, or tranquility. (http://blog.christiandance.eu/2019/08/juan-maria-solare-speak-to-your.html) As for the parts, contact the composer (www.JuanMariaSolare.com) or search (soon) in Sheet Music Plus (https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/publishers/juan-maria-solare-sheet-music/3003582?aff_id=565049)

Chamber Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.900886 Composed by Mark Bisson. Film/TV,Halloween. Score and parts. 34 pages. Mark Bisson #3624157. Published by Mark Bisson (A0.900886). A short Concert piece for a school orchestra.I was trying to create a fun Halloween piece full of musical cliches. There is a tuba solo but this can be played by a trombone if necessary. I have also included the tuba part as an E flat bass part. I have included optional oboe parts (which can be covered either by clarinets or flutes) and an optional bassoon part. The piece may feel a little brass heavy due to there being 4 horn parts and 4 trumpet parts; this is a reflection of the instrumentalists I had at the time of composing it. It is, as usual, thickly scored so that it will still work even if you don’t have a full compliment of players. The Double bass part can be played on a bass guitar.PERFORMANCE AND PHOTOCOPYING I freely give my permission to make as many copies of parts etc. as needed and would be delighted to have any of my music performed (there is no charge) but please tell me how it went!

Seen in this way, a concert reflects a value system that pits the individual against the group and poses a struggle of I against you. Surely this vehemence could be explained in a Beethovenian era when the concepts of human rights and individual freedom were fragile ideals.However, it is a different scale of values that my piano concerto tries to reflect: the idea of cooperation, of teamwork and of an orchestra as a living organism whose organs are not superior to one another, more vital than others, but fulfil different functions, qualitatively speaking.Every soloist plays a leading role, but this does not imply either subordination to the rest or denigration or subjugation of the rest. The fact that the soloist is sometimes in the foreground does not imply a victory over the others. The very concept of victory is meaningless here.At times, the soloist will fulfil a leadership role, at others he or she will underpin from passivity what is happening in the orchestra, intentionally from the shadows, as a grey eminence. And at other times - why not - he will question what the majority is doing.It is not a rough relationship of me against you, but there is also a we.The composition and orchestration of this piano concerto was made possible by a grant from the Senator for Culture of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen. This work was funded by an artist's grant as part of the Bremen-Corona-Hilfen programme.The premiere by the orchestra of the Bremer Orchestergemeinschaft is scheduled for the beginning of 2024.

Three Laments of Heloise for Chamber Orchestra

(+)
Chamber Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.876665 Composed by Dosia McKay. 20th Century,Contemporary,Renaissance. Score and parts. 81 pages. Gavia Music #57229. Published by Gavia Music (A0.876665). Three Laments of Heloise were inspired by the Letters of Abelard and Heloise, especially the character of Heloise, her crushing loss, self-denial, sacrifice, and forced conformity to the standards of medieval society. The first movement entitled Queens Envied Me My Joys is Heloise’s recollection of early days with Abelard. Every wife, every young girl desired you in absence and was on fire in your presence, writes Heloise. The pleasures of lovers which we shared have been too sweet… They are always there before my eyes, bringing with them awakened longings… The second movement If Not With You, My Heart Is Nowhere, expresses Heloise’s sense of abandonment by her lover. She writes to him: My heart was not in me but with you, and now, even more, if it is not with you it is nowhere; truly, without you I cannot exist. The third movement, My Most Wretched Soul, gives voice to Heloise’s continued struggle with her loss and the reality of the convent life. She does not see herself as a servant of God, but rather a hypocrite who remains pious on the outside and rages inwardly. Of all wretched women I am the most wretched, and amongst the unhappy I am unhappiest. How can it be called repentance for sins, however great the mortification of the flesh, if the mind still retains the will to sin and is on fire with its old desires? Modal scales and dance sequences give the Laments a Renaissance feel. Music theory students might appreciate the fact that the unifying element of the three movements is the interval of the 7th which appears very frequently in melodic and harmonic gestures and creates a feeling of ambiguity and of a lack of resolution. For chamber orchestra: Flute (or Piccolo), Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, Strings (Quintet, or 4,4,3,2,1, or larger), 2 Percussion: Frame Drum, Tambourine. Total duration 8:00. Possible transcriptions for period Renaissance instruments - please contact the composer. Composed in 2009. Copyright 2009 Dosia McKay / Gavia Music (ASCAP).
