Guitar,Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1433043 By Andrew McDonald. By Andrew McDonald. Arranged by Andrew McDonald. Christian,Pop,Rock. Score. 8 pages. Andrew Mc Donald (Macka Records) #1013472. Published by Andrew Mc Donald (Macka Records) (A0.1433043). In The Name Of God is a song about the Roman Catholic church in the middle ages. In those days the church was corrupted by sin and the only way to be saved was to follow their laws. If one disagreed it would be regarded as heresy and you would be beheaded or burned at the stake. The clergy were rich and the people poor as they had to pay taxes. The church lost sight of the word of God and who Jesus is and so that is why the train came off the rails. People without vision perish. In the Name of God we can do many things but if we do not follow the word we will be guilty of being misleading. This is the piano and vocal score.

Marimba Solo - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.939368 Composed by Adam Grim. Contemporary. Individual part. 10 pages. Adam B. Grim #5360035. Published by Adam B. Grim (A0.939368). Five four-mallet solos from my early work as a composer. They each depict an aspect or event of the campus of Ohio Northern University that happened as a freshman there. Most of these ideas were written when I was in high school, but they got some additional work as I went through my freshman year. These are not my best work, but they are good teaching tools that I have used a couple of times for short lessons on certain techniques for four-mallet marimba playing. Sorry. There are no sound files as of now. The sound files were corrupted somewhere between the three computers they've been on over the past 6 years.

Published by Kevin G. Pace (A0.701686). An original hymn with text by Mark Fotheringham below.YouTube video: https://youtu.be/u2bCRn1kl_4Light and knowledge pouring from heaven, Words of the Prophets all are fulfilled. Firm foundations rooted in doctrine For the fullness to be revealed. Ages past, the gospel was corrupted ‘Til a boy implored. Light and knowledge pouring from heaven, For the fullness to be restored. Though the world may mock and tremble, Though the world may all go astray, Help us be Thy covenant people, Keep us in the narrow way. Christ has suffered for all mankind. We will not be swayed. Though the world may mock and tremble, Keep us in the narrow way. Seek to know the finest within us, Like a smooth and shining stone. Try to see as God truly sees us; Seek to know as we are known. Once, our hearts were filled with darkness; Now let joy be shown. Seek to know the finest within us; Seek to know as we are known.

Instrumental Duet Instrumental Duet,Piano,Tenor Saxophone - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.837493 Composed by Brett L. Wery. Concert,Contemporary. Score and parts. 38 pages. Sonata Grendel Publishing #5741825. Published by Sonata Grendel Publishing (A0.837493). Making the Darkness Conscious was commissioned by my friend, Jonathan Hulting-Cohen. Jonathan is the Professor of Saxophone at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He is an amazing artist and a technical wizard. The piece was premiered in its original version as a solo for tenor saxophone and wind ensemble. The present version for piano is not intended to be a reduction of the wind ensemble accompaniment but is a reworking of the piece as an addition to the saxophone/piano duo repertoire. The anti-heroes in film, TV, and literature who feel themselves pushed to do very bad things for very noble reasons inspired this sonata in one movement. These characters often are themselves corrupted by their efforts. One trope of scripted television anti-hero vehicles like Breaking Bad is the cold opening presented out of sequence. The main character is shown in the moment of highest tension or deepest desperation then the story backs up to explain the events that led to that moment. Making the Darkness Conscious uses the same device by starting with a mysterious, disoriented setting full of strange groans and weird echoes. The scene ends in a terrified scream and cuts directly to a happier, jolly portrayal of the solo tenor saxophone’s character. By the end of the piece, the soloist’s character is transformed into something more ruthless and tortured. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable and therefore not popular. C.G. Jung

Piano - Digital Download SKU: A0.1069687 Composed by Gary Noland. 20th Century,Contemporary,Halloween. Full Performance. Duration 435. Freeland Publications #3258173. Published by Freeland Publications (A0.1069687). Duration: 7'15 (2003). This is one of my 24 Interludes for piano Op. 71. The title Convention Deficit pretty much describes the piece. I would venture to say there is nothing quite like it (except for other works by the same comproviser). This piece is an excellent example of how traditional tonality is processed through a corrupted and irreverent 21st-century musical mind.

Andres Ballesteros #2803697. Published by J. Andres Ballesteros (A0.1022620). Sin Tregua, for string quartet (Score)by J. Andrés Ballesteros (2010, ed. 2016; ASCAP)I wrote Sin Tregua in response to the ongoing drug war being waged in Mexico. After years of war, the government has proved ineffective and unwilling to deal with the violence. The government is a corrupted version of what was intended, so it seemed only fitting to musically corrupt the anthem that is supposed to represent our country. The music does this by bringing out the militaristic rhythms of the original but twisting the harmony out of shape into harsh dissonances, just as our country has been twisted out of shape. The melody of the national anthem never makes it past it's high point, instead falling apart back into the disorganized chaos it can't seem to escape.This piece is a short piece for advanced ensembles looking to include high-energy, slightly Ives-ian music. It could fit into programs featuring music about Latin America or by Latin American composers, concerts dealing with political issues, or many other contexts.Score details:Score (11 pages).Parts are available separately.Advanced level; appropriate for college ensembles or professional groups. ~2'30

Luis Anjos Teixeira #2924269. Published by Luis Anjos Teixeira (A0.889393). Queluz is my first Duet written in 1984. Here is a digital version token from the original manuscript, played by Garritan Cellos on the Finale. The name of the piece comes from the place where I was living Queluz, a very poor suburb from Lisbon, with the highest rate of suicide in Portugal back in those times.So I did Music to fly away and it saved my soul from being exposed to such an environment. I hope this tune will help Your soul to reach the 7 skies too.It is an easy piece to play, it can be easily performed by beginners. It is a flexible piece that can be played in many different ways. The bowing can be adjusted to the intention or taste of the players. P.S. - I am doing this Files for my beloved Minimi - She says - RAW MEAT EVERY DAY TAKES THE VETERINARIAN AWAY - This is the message from Minimi, the Stray Queen Cat.

Londonderry Air arranged for String Orchestra.
A big band version of the song is used as the theme for The Danny Thomas Show (a.k.a. Make Room For Daddy).
"Danny Boy" was used to represent Northern Ireland at the start of the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony, sung by a choir of children on the Giant’s Causeway.
On November 25, 2014, the Vancouver Canucks used the song in honor of the recently deceased Pat Quinn, who played and worked in many executive capacities for the team.
There are various theories as to the true meaning of "Danny Boy". Some listeners have interpreted the song to be a message from a parent to a son going off to war or leaving as part of the Irish diaspora.
The 1918 version of the sheet music included alternative lyrics ("Eily Dear"), with the instructions that "when sung by a man, the words in italic should be used; the song then becomes "Eily Dear", so that "Danny Boy" is only to be sung by a lady". In spite of this, it is unclear whether this was Weatherly’s intent.
Why the name Londonderry Air? Londonderry and Derry refer to the same place, a city in the north of Ireland, and also to the surrounding county. Supposedly the city of Derry was founded by St. Colmcille, although archaeological evidence shows that people were living there thousands of years earlier. There is an excellent museum in the city, which is worth a visit if you want to find out more. The name of the city was actually "Doire", corrupted to "Derry" by people who can’t pronounce Irish. It thought to derive from an Irish root meaning "oak tree".
Moving quickly along in history, about a millenium later the government of England was having a difficult time colonizing Ireland because of the fierce and warlike clans living there, especially in the north of the country, Ulster. The monarchs of England, almost all of whom were notorious cheapskates, were continually looking about for ingenious ways to conquer places without actually having to put up the money themselves, or run the risk of unpopularity if they lost. In the case of Ireland, some of these schemes of the "Brish gummit" (as it is termed nowadays in Ulster) are still producing unfortunate long-term consequences.
In 1608, King James I gave the city of Derry to the City of London corporation. I guess the deal could be summed up by saying that if the City of London could figure out a way to chase all the inhabitants out of Derry, they would be allowed to keep the loot, minus a percentage for the King of course. If they lost, well too bad. In celebration of this historic agreement, the name of Derry was officially changed to Londonderry. (For further information, check out the Northern Ireland Tourist Board’s History of Derry.)
The linguistic outcome of all this today is that, if you think that King James’s deal with the City of London was a good idea, you call both the city and county "Londonderry". If you do, you are probably a supporter of the Unionist movement that seeks to keep Ulster a part of the United Kingdom. If you think it was a bad idea, you call both "Derry", and you are probably a supporter of the Irish Nationalist cause. Or you might just be someone who thinks it’s confusing for kings to be going around changing the names of places all the time for no good reason.
You can find plenty of discussion about the political side of the question elsewhere, but here let’s look at the musical side. We have an air, collected in county Derry/Londonderry, and it doesn’t have a title. What do we call it?
If you were a proper Victorian, there’s no way you were going to call it the Londonderry Air, much less the Derry Air, because of the improper sentiments that these titles might suggest. My parents tell me that in their youth in Australia, it was usually called the Air from County Derry. (This would, I suppose, support Winston Churchill’s theory that Australia was inhabited by "convicts and Irishmen".)
My mother also sends the following information, referring to an arrangement of the tune by the Australian composer Percy Grainger:
Just another note about Danny Boy, that I grew up in Australia believing to be the Air from County Derry. We were looking through some LP’s last night (back to vinyl yet!) and found a Mercury Wing Classical Favorites stereo LP SRW18060, COUNTRY GARDENS and other favorites by Percy Grainger {played by} Eastman-Rochester Pops, Frederick Fennell, conducting. The cover notes included the following: "Irish Tune from County Derry was harmonised in memory of Irish childhood friends in Australia." Considered by many to be Grainger’s masterpiece of harmonization, the tune was collected many years ago by Miss Jane Ross of New Town, Limavady, Ireland. Grainger has set it for many instrumental combinations. So there’s another variant on the name for it. It doesn’t say who wrote the notes, but the bits in quotes for each of the works on the record are Grainger’s original comments.
The references to Londonderry Air that I’ve seen don’t go back any earlier than the late 1930s. For example, the Glenn Miller Orchestra recorded Danny Boy (Londonderry Air) in February 1940. Bing Crosby’s version was recorded in July 1941 (reference). (So many different things I could check up on!) Londonderry was an important American naval base during WWII, but the US hadn’t come into the war in 1940.
