Debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, Bruce Springsteen's 16th studio album has made its mark on the music community, claiming the top spot in the U.S., Canada, and throughout Europe. Titles: Good Eye * Kingdom of Days * Life Itself * My Lucky Day * A Night with the Jersey Devil (Bonus Track) * Outlaw Pete * Queen of the Supermarket * Surprise, Surprise * The Last Carnival * The Wrestler (Bonus Track) * This Life * Tomorrow Never Knows * What Love Can Do * Working on a Dream.
for SAATB unaccompanied A piece made famous by the award-winning a cappella group Vocado, Coffee Time is an upbeat dedication to the down time we all crave, for sharing thoughts, silence, and that aroma! Founded on classic a cappella style and sense of fun, the piece boasts an infectious melody and bossa nova rhythm, with sumptuous key changes, scat rhythms, and contrasting sections. The piece is perfect for vocal groups or small- to medium-size choirs, and has the makings of a great encore or competition piece.
for SATB and organ, small ensemble, or orchestra With a restrained tempo and expressive harmonies, this tender anthem sets an extract from the Book of Common Prayer that implores God to listen to our prayers. Originally published as the sixth movement in Chilcott's Requiem, Thou knowest, Lord contains a new organ accompaniment specially prepared for this leaflet edition. Choirs can alternatively perform this anthem with a small ensemble or orchestral accompaniment, with parts available for hire/rental from the hire library.
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.
17 songs from Swift's 2020 surprise release of piano and guitar tunes which she wrote and recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic. Song list:
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.
(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.
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.
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.
Paul McCartney's hugely successful Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart) is an oratorio for soprano, boy trebles, chorus and orchestra. This vocal score is arranged for solo voices, chorus and piano reduction. Originally commissioned by Magdalen College, Oxford, the moving 57-minute piece has been performed all over the world.
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.
A piece a week Piano Grade 4 is ideal to be used alongside the Improve your sight-reading! graded piano books to support and improve the reading skills so fundamental to successful sight-reading. These fun, short pieces are specifically written to be learnt one per week. By continually reading accessible new repertoire, the crucial processing of information and hand-eye coordination are established and improved, developing confident sight-reading. The ability to sight-read fluently is a vital skill, enabling students to learn new pieces more quickly and play with other musicians. The best-selling Improve your sight-reading! series, by renowned educationalist Paul Harris, is designed to develop sight-reading skills, especially in the context of graded exams.
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.
