Chamber Ensemble Solo Piano (solo piano) - medium

SKU: CN.17440

Composed by Jon Metzger. Arranged by Michael Brand. Duration 4:30. Published by C. Alan Publications (CN.17440).

Riversong was originally composed for solo vibraphone and was presented in lead sheet format (for an improvising musician's use) and in a completely written-out version. Spelled here for piano, the original flow and lure of a river's pull is augmented by two additional vignettes - Water Catcher and Terra Firma - that depict both an unexpected outing and the satisfaction of a completed trip.

Water Catcher reminds us of what may lie around the next bend when storms follow the river and powerfully replace calm with chaos. Terra Firma confirms our respect and desire for the journey - natural repose and quiescence in harmony with anticipation of revisiting the river's song.

SKU: CL.012-1898-00

Composed by J. Spears. Concert Band. Score and set of parts. Composed 1987. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-1898-00. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-1898-00).

A two-movement suite musically describing one of the most beautiful rivers in America. The slow first movement depicts the scenic wonders along the banks as one floats down the river. The fast second movement contains some of Spears’ best melodic writing as well as beautiful and original scoring. One of the best from Mr. Spears!

Concert Band (Score) - Grade 2

SKU: HL.4004273

Composed by George Frideric Handel. Arranged by Johnnie Vinson. MusicWorks Grade 2. Classical. 24 pages. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.4004273).

UPC: 888680067106. 9x12 inches.

The music of Handel is considered the culmination of the Baroque period of music history, and his Water Music (1717) has endured in popularity for nearly 300 years! Performed from a barge traveling on the River Thames, King George I is said to have liked the music so much that he ordered it repeated several times. Originally three suites each consisting of multiple movements, Johnnie Vinson has skillfully adapted this arrangement for young players using “Alla Hornpipe” from the Suite in D Major, and the “Air” and “Allegro” from the Suite in F Major. Duration: 4:20.

Score Only Concert Band (Score) - Grade 2

SKU: HL.4002331

Composed by Samuel R. Hazo. MusicWorks Grade 2. Concert, Festival. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.4002331).

UPC: 073999617818. 9.0x12.0x0.031 inches.

Commissione d by the Pickens County (GA) Middle School Band on the occasion of the band program being split into separate schools, this marvelous composition for young players explores the emotions of separation. Sam uses the analogy of a river that, when divided, maintains its identity yet becomes two separate entities. Three themes are presented individually then come together in grand fashion at the end. (4:35).
