Here's a nice change of pace on this hit ballad from The Jackson 5. Paul develops a nice relaxed groove and uses an effective modulation and build-up to the chorus.

Six Poems-Elliot Carter's In Sleep In Thunder was first performed at St. John's Smith Square in London on October 26th 1982 by the tenor Martyn Hill with the London Sinonietta. Elliot Carter was comissioned by the London Sinfonietta and In Sleep In Thunder was the result. It is a song cycle on the verse of Robert Lowell whom Carter had been considering setting some of his work to music. In Sleep In Thunder is made up of six songs written for tenor and fourteen instruments. This score that reflects Lowell's words of very human qualities in an ongoing but coherent change throughout produces a very evocative piece of music.

for Eb Horn and Brass Band-Sunday in the Park was written for tenor horn virtuoso Sheona White and commissioned by her partner Matt Wade as a Christmas present.Composer Philip Sparke had known and admired Sheona’s playing for many years having produced her first solo CD and written pieces for her previously.Both composer and performer are huge fans of the late Karen Carpenter Sheona in part modelling her sound on the singer’s sultry voice; so it was decided that this new solo would be a piece which whilst not being a ‘Carpenters’ pastiche paid tribute to their relaxed style and rich harmonic language. Sunday in the Park openswith an accompanied cadenza for the soloist which leads to a gentle rhythmic melody with a laid-back feel. This is taken up by the band but the soloist sparks a change of mood by introducing a faster light rock interlude. This reaches a climax at which point the music unwinds until the original mood returns.A variation on the original melody leads to a short cadenza from the soloist which brings the work to a peaceful close.

Written in a grand film scoring style Rossano Galante's Journey To The Lion's Castle takes the listener on an exciting musical excursion of various moods and styles. The impressive opening strainsfeature Woodwind flourishes and powerful Brass lines. A graceful and majestic middle section offers a change of pace before the ending segment drives to a breathtaking finish. For mature bands this could become a programminghighlight! Dur: 6:00 (Grade 5).

Par BERTAND ELISE. J'ai composé cette Sonate pour violon seul Op.16, entre octobre 2021 et mai 2022, pour trois violonistes que j'admire et qui ont une grande importance pour moi. Le premier mouvement, dédié à Jacques Ghestem, s'inspire d'une sensation de liberté et d'un souffle spontané que j'ai ressentis en jouant Rhapsodie Musings d'Elliott Carter, issu des Four Lauds pour violon seul. Jacques Ghestem, investi tout au long de sa vie dans la mise en valeur de la musique contemporaine, m'a notamment transmis depuis mes dix ans (à travers de longues discussions mais aussi à travers sa pédagogie) sa vision de la musique et son goût pour la musique de notre temps, tout en partageant avec moi son univers intérieur empli de souvenirs et de création musicale. Il était ainsi bien naturel de composer pour lui ce premier mouvement, dont les spécificités harmoniques et instrumentales ont été imaginées pour son dédicataire. Le deuxième mouvement est composé pour David Grimal, violoniste que j'ai toujours admiré depuis mon enfance. Son originalité, sa liberté, ses interprétations fougueuses sur scène ont continué de m'émouvoir et de m'inspirer lorsque j'ai participé comme violoniste au sein de son orchestre Les Dissonances. C'est lors de son interprétation de L'Aurore, issue de la cinquième Sonate pour violon seul d'Ysaye, qu'il a donnée à la Philharmonie de Paris en janvier 2022, que j'ai eu l'idée de composer pour lui ce mouvement lent, suspendu et rhapsodique. Le finale est dédié à la violoniste Sarah Nemtanu, que j'ai rencontrée pour la première fois en septembre 2021 à Radio France, où elle enregistrait mon Divertimento Op.15 avec trois de ses collègues de l'Orchestre National de France. Cette rencontre fulgurante d'une journée, musicale et humaine, a été une vraie lumière en ce jour de septembre, un échange d'une vision de la vie et de la musique, où j'allais vers elle à travers mon écriture, tandis qu'elle allait vers moi avec son interprétation. Symbole pour moi d'amitié et d'estime, ma Sonate pour violon seul a été inspirée tout au long de la composition par ces trois dédicataires bienveillants et éclairants, qui ont guidé mon chemin et ont su apporter une lumière dans ma vie d'artiste interprète et compositrice.

And I Love Her is a beautiful, lilting ballad from the McCartney/Lennon partnership. Its use of major and minor keys, as well as a complete key change in the final verse, gives it a sense of drama that can create the perfect climax in a choral program. This arrangement has been specially crafted for SATB choir with piano accompaniment. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Piano
