for SATB and continuo Bach's motets are essential pillars of the
choral repertory, and the irresistibly joyful Lobet den Herrn, alle
Heiden is a wonderful introduction to them for choirs unfamiliar
with the works. It features concise contrapuntal writing and a
sophisticated harmonic language, yet the vocal lines are not
excessively demanding. John Rutter's edition includes helpful
performance suggestions and background information, and full scores
and instrumental parts are available on hire from the publisher.
for SATB and organ or orchestra This gentle yet uplifting carol was
commissioned for the Choir of King's College, Cambridge, and was
first performed during the 2012 Festival of Nine Lessons and
Carols. Rutter's gift for melody is in evidence throughout the
work, with a sense of hushed awe leading to moments of glorious
optimism. The text, written by the composer, is inspired by the
fifteenth-century Corpus Christi Carol.
for SATB and organ or chamber orchestra This offering from Mack
Wilberg is a joyful yet graceful arrangement of the well-known hymn
tune by Conrad Kocher. Featuring a lyrical accompaniment and
variations in choral textures, this piece is ideal for Harvest or
Thanksgiving celebrations, but can also be used all year round. An
orchestral accompaniment is available on hire/rental.
This book contains 50 easy piano arrangements of popular praise and
worship songs that are sung in churches everywhere. The
arrangements, by leading Christian music arranger Carol Tornquist,
sound great both as piano solos and for sing-alongs. Complete
lyrics are included along with basic chord symbols. Titles: 10,000

(Music Sales America). Gioachino Rossini (1792-1868) referred to
his Petite Messe Solennelle as the 'last mortal sin of my old age'.
Written in 1863 for the Countess Louise Pillet-Will and first
performed on 14 March 1864 at the consecration of the Countess'
private chapel, the Mass is one of Rossini's finest achievements
and the outstanding work of his 'retirement'. This vocal score is
set for SATB soli, SATB chorus, harmonium and two pianos.
for SATB and piano O Guiding Night is a colourful and evocative
setting of the text 'The Dark Night' by 16th-century Spanish
mystic/poet St John of the Cross. Williams's setting really gets to
the heart of the words, conveying a range of emotions from hushed
excitement to joyous rapture. Sumptuous harmonies and a strong
sense of narrative are combined with charming piano interludes in
an almost rhapsodic work, which would stand out in any concert.
This album-matching folio features transcriptions, complete with
tab, to 58 of The Stones' greatest early hits. Includes: Jumpin'
Jack Flash * Honky Tonk Woman * Wild Horses * Brown Sugar *
Sympathy for the Devil and 52 more -- over 300 pages of music.
A pad containing 75 pages with 18 staves per page. It is suitable
for course work or for large-format performance parts.
for SSA, piano, and optional bass and drum kit This vibrant
collection presents five jazzy settings of poems from William
Blake's Songs of Innocence. Chilcott challenges the expectation of
the listener by setting each classic text in a different
jazz-inspired style-from the laid-back swing of 'The Echoing Green'
and ballad-like setting of 'The Lamb' to a lilting jazz waltz, 'The
Little Boy Lost/The Little Boy Found'. The voices are underpinned
by a stylistic piano part, which may be played as written or serve
as a guide, and a part for bass and drum kit is available
separately for jazz trio accompaniment. Ideal for performance
individually or as a suite, these innovative songs will make a
colourful addition to any concert programme.
for cambiata (opt. div.), baritone, and piano Brooke's arrangement
of this traditional sea shanty is invigorating and atmospheric.
Changing voices will enjoy the theme of trains and ships in the
text, as well as the boisterous call-and-response texture, which is
well-supported by the piano. The verses break into a reflective a
cappella section before giving way to a rousing finish!
for SATB, C instrument, and keyboard or orchestra This exquisite
arrangement of an American folk hymn will be a universal favourite
with choirs of all ages and levels. The atmospheric tune is
perfectly offset by the floating instrumental counter-melody, while
the keyboard or orchestral accompaniment brings harmonic depth and
gravity to the music. A wonderful addition to the choral repertory.
Orchestral material is available on hire.

Music from all three films arranged for wind instruments. Desirable
and collectible, these instrumental folios are loaded with
full-color photos of scenes from all three films. They are printed
on top-quality antique paper stock, and the covers showcase the new
"trilogy" artwork. The wind instrument books are completely
compatible with each other and can be played together or as solos.
Each book contains a carefully edited part that is appropriate for
the Level 2-3 player and a fully orchestrated accompaniment CD.
Each theme on the CD is presented as a "demo" track (which features
that particular instrument) and as a "play-along" track without the
solo instrument. New icons are used in the books to guide the
players through the accompaniment options. A separate piano
accompaniment book with CD is available for the wind series. The
instrumental solo part, in concert pitch, is added above the piano
part. The CD features live demonstration performances of various
instrument tracks from the series. Titles are the twelve major
themes from the blockbuster trilogy: from The Fellowship of the
Ring: The Prophecy * In Dreams * Concerning Hobbits * Many Meetings
* The Black Rider; from The Two Towers: Gollum's Song * Rohan *
Evenstar * Forth Eorlingas; from The Return of the King: Into the
West * The Steward of Gondor * Minas Tirith. This title is
available in SmartMusic.
for SATB (with divisions) and organ This joyous, upbeat anthem sets
a compelling poem by contemporary poet Sean Street in response to a
text by sixteenth-century Bishop of Norwich John Parkhurst on the
subject of 'alma mater'. The text encourages us to appreciate the
past, our education, and where it can lead, reflecting on the
profound ties we can form to a time or a place. The bright, driving
organ part, with solo interjections, is juxtaposed with sustained
vocal writing with rich, lush harmonies.
Cello and piano reduction of Walton's Cello Concerto, based on the
edition published in the Walton Edition Violin and Cello Concertos
volume. Dating from 1956, the work was commissioned by Gregor
Piatigorsky and premiered by him the following year. Walton
regarded this work as the best of his three solo concertos.
Orchestral material is available on hire.
for SATB and piano Don Michael Dicie has created a straightforward,
unflashy but beautiful arrangement of Lowry's famous 'How can I
keep from singing?'. Dicie departs from his typical harmonic style
of major and minor seventh chords for a more tertial setting. The
variety of textures and its simplicity and accessibility make a
lovely effect. The women sing the first verse; men, the second;
both, a cappella for the third; and they finish together with
piano.
