Solo Guitar - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1328873 By 40s Instrumental Music. By Duke Ellington, Eddie De Lange, and Irving Mills. Arranged by Christopher J. Malin. 20th Century,Jazz,Standards. Individual part. 1 pages. Christopher J. Malin #916882. Published by Christopher J. Malin (A0.1328873). Solo jazz guitar chord/melody arrangement with tablature. Seldom heard standard in this style. Beautiful, instantly recognizable melody. One of Duke Ellington finer pieces. This piece makes you stand out as a solo jazz guitarist of all idioms. Some chords are played as triads or dyads or eliminated, and single notes are used. I draw a line over the note if it's the high note of a chord or I use a dot if it's played as a single note, the chord is then in parentheses. I tend to use a minimalist style that keeps the important parts of the music. Sounds great on acoustic and electric guitars.I tend to play the A section in free time, adding improvisation. Then almost like a modern Power Ballad I play the B' section in a strong swing time. I repeat measures 11 to 14 three times! Then, I pull in the reins and slow her down towards the end and improvise freely at the bitter end. I love this tune! Hope you will too.

Clarinet in Bb & Piano - Intermediate - Digital Download By David Bowie. Arranged by James M. Guthrie, ASCAP. Score, Set of Parts. 12 pages. Published by jmsgu3
Duration: 3:23, Score: 7 pages, 61 measures, solo part: 2 pages, piano part: 3 pages. Meter: common time, Tempo: quarter note = 124. Excellent choice for recitals, church or combo performance.
"When released as a single in 1973, it reached no. 3 in the UK and stayed on the chart for thirteen weeks. The song re-entered the UK charts at no. 55 over 30 years later, largely because of its use in the original British television series Life on Mars.[6] In June 2015, Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph ranked it as no. 1 in his "100 Greatest Songs of All Time" list,[7] describing it thus:
Gloriously strange sci-fi anthem. A stirring, yearning melody combines with vivid, poetic imagery to accomplish a trick very particular to the art of the song: to be at once completely impenetrable and yet resonant with personal meaning. You want to raise your voice and sing along, yet Bowie’s abstract cut-up lyrics force you to invest the song with something of yourself just to make sense of the experience, and then carries you away to a place resonant with intense, individual emotion. The magic and mystery of music and lyrics. It is something to behold.[7]
In a 2012 poll, "Life on Mars?" was voted Bowie's best song. Digital Spy, who conducted the poll, stated it has "perhaps become David's signature song – filled with surreal cut-up lyrics inspired by William Burroughs, it married vivid imagery with a tender, heartbreaking melody".[8]
The song has appeared in several television series. The BBC television drama Life on Mars used both the name and the song itself as its basis. The song was used extensively throughout the programme and its spin-off, Ashes to Ashes. The song was used also in the American version of Life on Mars. In the episode "The Waters of Mars", of the British television show Doctor Who, takes place in the first human base on Mars, named "Bowie Base One".
Jessica Lange sang a rendition with a deep German accent on the fourth-season premiere of the FX television program American Horror Story: Freak Show.[10] Playing a character whose surname is Mars, Lange wears an ice-blue trouser suit and heavy matching eye shadow in her performance, echoing the Bowie video.[10] Both the song and the performance are anachronistic, given that the season takes place in 1952, nearly 20 years before Bowie released the song. She performs the song again in the episode "Pink Cupcakes", and an instrumental version is played at the end of the season finale, "Curtain Call", where Mars is getting ready to sing.
The song has also appeared in several film soundtracks. The original soundtrack of Lars von Trier's 1996 movie Breaking the Waves features "Life on Mars?" during the epilogue, although the song was replaced by Elton John's "Your Song" on the international DVD release for copyright reasons.[11] "Life on Mars?" is included on the soundtrack to the 2004 film The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, starring Bill Murray as Steve Zissou.[12] The song is played as Murray walks stoned to the bow of his boat in solitude as a party continues below deck. "Life on Mars?" is included in the 2005 film Loverboy, first being played on the radio during a conversation between the 10-year-old Emily and Mrs. Harker, and later being sung a cappella by 10-year-old Emily.[12] "Life on Mars?" is included on the soundtrack to the 2006 film Factory Girl.[12] "Life on Mars?" is used in the 2012 British film Hunky Dory, sung by the character Davey (Aneurin Barnard).
Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong has said that he would like either "Life on Mars?" or "Take This Job and Shove It" by Johnny Paycheck played at his funeral.[13]"-Wikipedia

Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1368438 By Jose Valladares. By Jose Valladares. Arranged by Jose Valladares. Classical. Score. 4 pages. Circlesquare Music #952784. Published by Circlesquare Music (A0.1368438). Introducing Thinking of You, a tender and introspective piano composition that gently echoes the contemplative moments of reflection and longing. This poignant piece, from the deeply emotive album A Celebration of Love, and Life by the esteemed artist and composer Jose Valladares, is a musical embodiment of the thoughts and feelings that arise when someone special lingers in your mind and heart.With a thoughtful tempo of 75, Thinking of You delicately weaves through the complexities of human emotion, capturing the subtle nuances of fondness, yearning, and the warmth of cherished memories. The composition is a delicate tapestry of sound, each note a gentle caress, and each chord a tender embrace, evoking the serene beauty and quiet intensity of heartfelt remembrance.Thinking of You is more than just a piece of music; it's a window into the soul, a reflection of the deep and personal connection that endures even in absence. It invites listeners to embark on a journey within, to revisit the sacred spaces where memories reside and emotions flow freely. This composition is perfect for those who seek to express the depth of their affection through the gentle touch of piano keys, for pianists who wish to convey the profound narrative of remembrance, and for anyone who finds solace and beauty in the act of thinking about a loved one.Let Thinking of You envelop you in its tender melody, creating a tranquil space where thoughts and emotions intertwine in a harmonious dance. Allow this piece to be your companion in moments of solitude, a soothing reminder of the enduring presence of those we hold dear in our thoughts and hearts. This composition is a celebration of remembrance, a serene ode to the ones we think of fondly, and a testament to the lasting impressions that love and affection can leave on our lives.

SATB chorus - Digital Download SKU: BJ.1406 Composed by Sofia Söderberg. Christian. Octavo. 8 pages. Bo Ejeby Forlag - Digital #1406. Published by Bo Ejeby Forlag - Digital (BJ.1406). 8.27 x 11.7 inches.Music based on Gregorian themes.In the autumn of 2015, Malmo Live Vokalensemble performed Thierry Machuel's Paroles contre l'oubli - words against oblivion. In a large-scale art project, prisoners serving a life sentence at the Clairvaux high-security prison in north-eastern France were interviewed by the composer, who set their stories to music. The piece is incredibly dark, coloured by the innermost thoughts of individuals who know they will never again be free, people who are slipping into oblivion. Clairvaux wasn't always a prison, though - it was formerly an important monastery. Established by St. Bernhard in 1115 and closed in connection with the French Revolution, Clairvaux is a mythic place. For some, it is an abbey where thousands of monks voluntarily chose the path of saints, plunging themselves into the blessed silence of darkness. For others, it is a prison, the sheer name of which inspires terror and generates horrific images. My intention was that we, with our concert, would create a bridge between the present and the past, between incarceration and voluntary solitude. So I sought out the historical sources for our earliest notated music, from the French abbey of Solemn, and composed a variety of versions based on Gregorian themes. Kyrie and Agnus Dei are two of them. - Sofia Soderberg.

Complients à une duègnehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo7KQ89pzz4Gérard Souzay, French baritone, said of Jacques Leguerneyâ??s music: â??How does one describe this music which is, at the same time, classic and modern? It is pure, but colorfully nuanced; it speaks to the heart as well as the mind: at times calm; at times witty; wise, yet sensual. The music of Jacques Leguerney is un jardin à la française, both elegant and stylish.â? Jacques Leguerney was born in Le Havre on 19 November 1906. His uncle bought his first piano and encouraged him to study and write music. He wrote chamber works, and took a few semesters of harmony with Nadia Boulanger, who arranged for a performance of his Epitaphe guerrière and Clair de lune in a concert organized by the Société musical indépendante at the Salle Pleyel. However, he decided not to continue his studies. He felt that his gift was natural and spontaneous, and that anyone who understood music should not have to do exercises to learn to compose. In 1928, Jane Bathori took an interest in Leguerney, including two songs during her tour in Argentina, and the following year at the Salle Erard in Paris. In 1932, when his father died, Leguerney took over the family business and stopped composing until the outbreak of World War II. The period extending from the German occupation of France to the end of the 1940s constitutes one of the important periods of Leguerneyâ??s musical life. He began his extended song cycle, Poèmes de la Pléiade, and wrote many songs upon poems of Paul-Jean Toulet. He also continued to compose chamber music, including the Sonatine pour violon et piano, the â??Fantasie pour pianoâ? and the Quatuor à cordes en Ré. An important year for Leguerney was 1943. He met musical colleagues who would become his major interpreters. These included Gérard Souzay as well as his half-sister, soprano Geneviève Touraine; pianist Jacqueline Robin (Bonneau), Pierre Bernac, and Francis Poulenc. Robin (Bonneau) particularly influenced Leguerneyâ??s style. His piano accompaniments were created specifically for her virtuosic and sensitive style of pianism. Bernac observed that Leguerney wrote melodies de pianiste. In 1946, Leguerney created a ballet on the mythological story of Endymion. The premiere was at the Opéra de Paris on 27 July 1949, with choreography by Serge Lifar. The Opéra de Paris immediately commissioned a second work, which was La Vénus noire, based upon a short story by Prosper Mérimée. This ballet was never produced, due to disagreements with the choreographer. Leguerney became discouraged and this situation was to lead to the end of his interest in composing. However, the years 1950-1954 brought Leguerney widespread recognition as he created his beautiful mélodie cycles including La Nuit, La Solitude (for piano as well as an orchestration), Le Paysage, and Le Carnaval, as well as the cantata Psaume LXII de David. Gérard Souzay requested many new works for his recitals and premiered La Nuit, Le Carnaval and

La collection ANACROUSE offre aux pianistes novices et confirmés un large choix d’œuvres classiques, allant de la Renaissance à l’époque moderne.<br><br>Proposer tout à la fois des « incontournables » du répertoire classique et des pièces de compositeurs parfois oubliés, toutes d’une valeur pédagogique indéniable, tels sont les objectifs que nous nous sommes fixés. Chaque pièce, vendue à l’unité, a fait l’objet d’un travail éditorial attentif, tant sur le plan de l’établissement du texte musical que de sa gravure, afin de garantir aux musiciens les conditions indispensables aux plaisirs tirés du commerce fréquent de ces œuvres.<br><br>Les partitions sont proposées sous la forme d’ouvrages traditionnels (feuillets papier), et disponibles également par téléchargement.<br><br><br><br>Les célèbres romances sans paroles (Lieder ohne worte) de Felix Mendelssohn sont des pièces raffinées, mélancoliques et brèves pour piano. Ses Quarante huit romances réparties dans huit cahiers sont créées au fil de sa vie dans les moments rares de solitude. Elles sont les reflets d’une page d’album sentimental de son quotidien. Six des huit cahiers sont publiés à partir de 1832 en huit fascicules par les soins du compositeur, chez l’éditeur londonien Novello. Les deux dernières paraîtront après sa mort. Quelques unes ont une appellation comme Morceau pour enfants, Marche funèbre, Chant du gondolier vénitien, Chant du printemps, Chant du dévidoir, Chant populaire, Chant du chasseur. L'opus 30 est dédié à Elise Von Woringen. Il est le deuxième recueil de romances sans paroles. Il comprend six petits morceaux très poétiques comme dans l'opus 19, représentant le premier cahier, qui est l'un des plus connus. Composé entre 1833 et 1834 à Dusseldörf, ce deuxième cahier est édité à Paris en 1835 chez Mori et Lavenu. La parution des six autres romances de Mendelssohn a reçu un très bon accueil en Allemagne par ses contemporains, ce qui a suggéré à Schumann d'écrire une très belle critique dans son journal, la Neue Zeitschrift für Musik : « Qui ne s'est jamais assis au crépuscule devant un piano droit ( un piano à queue ferait trop cérémonieux) et n'a chanté inconsciemment, en pleine improvisation, une douce mélodie ? Si l'on peut par hasard lier aux deux mains l'accompagnement et la mélodie, et surtout si l'on est un Mendelssohn, alors naissent les plus belles romances sans paroles ... C'est limpides comme le soleil qu'elles se présentent à nos regards ». La Romance sans parole n°12 « Allegretto Tranquillo » est intitulée aussi Barcarolle. Son écriture pianistique nous amène toujours à vouloir chanter le thème principal qui est proche de l'écriture du lieder. Sa structure formelle est elle même composée comme un lied : ABA. Elle se distingue par un chant très pur d'une grande expressivité ce qui nous évoque l'idée d'un air de gondolier vénitien. A 6/8, en tonalité de fa dièse mineur, la mélodie flotte sur un rythme ternaire qui donne un effet de tourbillon langoureux par l'utilisation d'innombrables ornementations vocales. Cette romance achève le recueil, mais finalement nous ouvre les portes de notre imaginaire où l'on peut entrevoir une libre promenade sur les eaux. Partition + Biographie + Notes sur l'oeuvre
