C Instrument - Level 1 - SKU: A0.1490248 By Ed Sheeran feat. Khalid. By Ed Sheeran, Fred Gibson, Khalid Robinson, Max Martin, and Shellback. Arranged by Marcelo Borba. Multicultural,Pop,Rock,Singer/Songwriter,Standards,World. Lead Sheet / Fake Book. 3 pages. Marcelo Borba #1067088. Published by Marcelo Borba (A0.1490248). Leadsheet Style Beautiful People is a song by British singer Ed Sheeran, featuring American singer Khalid. It was released in June 2019 as part of Sheeran's collaboration album titled *No.6 Collaborations Project*. ### Context and Theme The song's lyrics address the superficiality and social pressures associated with the luxurious and status-driven lifestyle often linked to fame. The song criticizes the shallow lifestyle that many people consider desirable but can be empty and unfulfilling. Instead of conforming to the social standards of beautiful people, Sheeran and Khalid promote the idea of authenticity and the importance of staying true to oneself, regardless of others' expectations. ### Music Video The music video for Beautiful People complements this message, showing a regular couple who feel out of place in a world of luxury and excess. The couple remains true to their authenticity, contrasting with the behavior of the people around them. ### Reception and Impact The song was well received by both the public and critics, praised for its message and the contrast between the modern pop production and the introspective lyrics. It achieved commercial success, charting in several countries worldwide.Beautiful People is a reflection on the challenges of authenticity in a world obsessed with appearances and status.

C Instrument - SKU: A0.1371620 Composed by Text by Darcy Ann Hill. Christian,Praise & Worship,Religious,Sacred,Traditional. Lead Sheet / Fake Book. 1 pages. Darcy Hill #955861. Published by Darcy Hill (A0.1371620). These are new lyrics to the familiar Public Domain tune, Oh Master Let Me Walk With Thee. When my husband passed away, I looked for a hymn which would be fitting for a funeral. I struggled to find one that seemed to convey the depth and the breadth of the pain in the loss, yet still the strength and the hope of God's faithfulness and love. So I wrote these new lyrics to depict my heart. I pray they will be helpful to others who grieve.

C Instrument - Level 2 - SKU: A0.1217874 Composed by Gerald Marks and Seymour Simons. Arranged by Leo Silva. Jazz,Multicultural,World. Lead Sheet / Fake Book. 1 pages. MP Sheet Music #814392. Published by MP Sheet Music (A0.1217874). Composition and characteristics All of Me is a jazz standard whose lyrics and music were written by Gerald Marks and Seymour Simons in 1931. It has an ABAC structure and was originally written in the key of B-flat major.The melody combines the music's contradictory possibilities. The downward thrusts of the opening phrases suggest emotional despair, while the final line, with its repeated high notes, sounds almost jubilant. It usually runs in an average time.All of Me first came to public notice when a performance by Belle Baker was broadcast on the radio in 1931. After that a few others also became successful.Frank Sinatra recorded several versions of All of Me. Its 1948 release peaked at No. 21. He also sang it in the film Meet Danny Wilson, which may have helped Johnnie Ray's performance reach No. 12 in the charts that year. Sinatra's use of All of Me brought a non-jazz audience to the song, as did Willie Nelson, whose version was included on his Stardust album and reached No. 3 on the Hot Country Songs chart in 1978. In 2000, All of Me of Me received the Towering Song Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

The track solidified Silk Sonic's success and highlighted the musical chemistry between Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, setting the stage for the success of the album *An Evening with Silk Sonic*.

Arranged by Alastair Lodge. 151, 153, 162, Folk, Renaissance. Lead Sheet / Fake Book. 38 pages. Wold Meridian #727149. Published by Wold Meridian
Chording to the Dance Masters is a selection of dance tunes that were collected originally between about 1500 and 1620. Printing made many of these tunes popular throughout Europe during these times, some of them composed by the printer/publishers themselves, but many more of them existed previously as rustic dance tunes or popular chansons. The works were originally published to be played by three to five instrumentalists, with no particular instruments specified. They suited consorts or ?choirs? of instruments that were depicted in the illustrations of Agricola, Mersenne and most notably Praetorius and are now preserved in museums around the world.
Many editions exist in the 3, 4 or 5 parts as originally published, and these are an absolute joy to perform from, where the interweaving parts create interesting harmonies that demonstrate the skills of these renaissance composer/arranger/publishers. Playing with modern reproductions of the early instruments will recreate textures and sounds unique to this period. However, not everyone is lucky enough to either own these instruments or else have contact with others with whom they could form ensembles. This book aims to widen the experience out to those who would like to play these tunes on their own or with the accompaniment of a guitar, keyboard or other available chordal instrument. Fake books abound for those who wish to play Jazz, Folk, Classical and Popular music where the melody is annotated with chords so that players can access these tunes in their own way. As far as I am aware, this has not often been done for the player who wishes to busk their way through music of the Renaissance period.
I have attempted to include all the chords implied by the polyphonic parts of the original publications, simply because it is in the transitions of the harmonies under the melodies where the genius of the original arranger/publisher resides. Those who go on to explore the original versions may look forward to the way in which each line presents the player with intrinsically beautiful counter melodies.
At first, the rapidity of chord changing can be a bit daunting, so I have marked out what I consider to be the essential chords for accompaniment in boxes. Playing just these will provide adequate accompaniment, whilst leaving the more adventurous scope to enhance their performance by referencing some of the other chords. You can hear the chording arrangements together with the original 3, 4 or 5 part versions of all 44 pieces on a YouTube playlist which has been made as a companion to this volume at
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYRWH2nycMkMoIoEYEMVPa_EXY6NVDpNS
As well as the solo or player in a duo, this book would also be of value for someone who is used to reading chords rather than melody lines wishing to join in with a renaissance consort. The selection I have chosen represents quite a few of the ?standards? that have become regularly played since the revival of renaissance music in the late 1960s. It is hoped that should this volume prove popular, companion volumes with all the parts provided for the same pieces could make essential repertoire for the budding renaissance dance consorts of the future.
