Published by Benjamin Giesbrecht (A0.1025109). Note: Performance will also require the purchase of Futility (Recorded Accompaniment Track). I apologize, but there is no way to combine the two into one package on this site.Full Title: Futility for Trombone and Recorded AccompanimentOn escaping commercial musicPerformance Directions:Some degree of acting is required, as the performer is asked to shake their head, leave the stage, and throw pages off their stand. Performers are encouraged to act out the struggle in additional ways to those marked in the score.Program Note from the score:Futility is a work embodying the struggle of a single musician to overcome the influence of commercialized music. We are inundated with commercial music and exposure to it is inescapable, thus it effects every musician in some form. Futility features an electronic track as accompaniment that was composed using commercially available audio loops and automatic beat generators-thus every sound the trombonist struggles against is both musically and literally commercial. The trombonist begins with some tentative entrances, moving towards an emulation of the electronic background. Extra copyright information: The purchaser may copy pages if they are needed to achieve successful performance(s) and are used by a sole performer. (e.g. an extra first page to throw, or an extra page for offstage.)

Brass Ensemble Trombone - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1043837 Composed by Jim Hopson. Contemporary. Score and parts. 26 pages. Gordon Cherry #648523. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.1043837). Jim Hopson's Futility in Seven Positions for Trombone Ensemble and Narrator is a pithy work of about 4 minutes for advanced performers. It is comprised of four movements: 1. Way of the Blade, a Presto movement with lots of glisses that runs headlong into a quote from the Tommy Dorsey signature melody. 2. Book Learnin' a sarcastic rant on the rigidity of school homework. 3. Courting Disaster a great joke told by the narrator over a rhythmic bass line. 4. Disco featuring the Tuba Mirum solo over a groovin' Disco line. All the above is just fun and games tongue firmly planted in cheek including a final gasp quoting Ravel's Bolero.

Cello,Piano - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.597444 By Robert Schumann and Yo Yo Ma. By Robert Schumann. Arranged by Flavio Regis Cunha. Classical,Contest,Festival,Instructional,Romantic Period,Standards. Score and part. 16 pages. Flavio Regis Cunha #6074553. Published by Flavio Regis Cunha (A0.597444). Vanitas is a symbolic work of art showing the transience of life, the futility of pleasure, and the certainty of death, often contrasting symbols of wealth and symbols of ephemerality and death. Best-known are vanitas still lifes, a common genre in Low countries of the 16th and 17th centuries; they have also been created at other times and in other media and genres.The Latin noun vanitas (from the Latin adjective vanus 'empty') means 'emptiness', 'futility', or 'worthlessness', the traditional Christian view being that earthly goods and pursuits are transient and worthless. It alludes to Ecclesiastes 1:2; 12:8, where vanitas translates the Hebrew word hevel, which also includes the concept of transitoriness.The first movement of the composer Robert Schumann's 5 Pieces in a Folk Style, for Cello and Piano, Op. 102 is entitled Vanitas vanitatum: Mit Humor. The arrangement we present here is a very close transcription of Yo Yo Ma's interpretation with pianist Kathryn Stott, recorded on the album Songs from the Arc of Life.Original Ad libitum violin part was included.Advanced Intermediate.Format: Concert, 9 x 12 inches.16 pages.

Concert Band - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1472832 Composed by Dora Pejačević. Arranged by John Ivor Holland. 20th Century,Classical,Romantic Period. 39 pages. John Ivor Holland #1050464. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1472832). Countess Maria Theodora Paulina Dora Pejačević (10 September 1885 – 5 March 1923) was a Croatian composer, pianist and violinist and one of the first composers to introduce the orchestral song to Croatian music. Her Symphony in F-sharp minor is considered by scholars to be the first modern symphony in Croatian music. Pejačević is noted for her vocal compositions, piano miniatures, and string quartets, which were heavily influenced by the expressionist and modernist trends of the time. In her early career, Pejačević’s primary themes were highly representative of the Romantic period, but this would change after her experience working as a paramedic in the First World War after which her works reflected the philosophic movement of nihilism and discussed motifs of death, isolation, and futility of war. This wonderful 'Elegie', originally composed for violin and piano, dates from 1913, just before the outbreak of war and is dedicated to Johannes Nádherny-Borutin, an important Czech politician. This arrangement has been made as part of an ongoing project to bring more music by women composers into the worldwide concert band repertoire.

Flute Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1196871 Composed by Chris Salerno. 20th Century,Baroque,Christian,Religious,Renaissance. Individual part. 4 pages. Chris Salerno Music #796031. Published by Chris Salerno Music (A0.1196871). Program NotesConsider The Lillies is inspired by Jesus’ sermon on the mount, specifically, His explanation of the futility of worrying. He uses two illustrations from nature, birds and flowers, as examples of living in quiet contentment. In each case, Jesus admonishes us to take a moment to either look at or consider. Both actions require us to engage in contemplation. The piece is cast loosely in the Loure dance form, with long pauses interrupting each phrase portion. The piece is an illustration of taking time to consider something in a deep and meaningful way. A technically simple tune embodies the quiet life of contented trust in God and contemplation. Consider The Lillies mimics the act of hearing an idea, then pausing to consider it. Both performer and audience are given time to contemplate the musical phrase portions during the moment of silence that follows each musical idea.Performance NotesWhen performing Consider The Lillies, approach each phrase portion as a melody in and of itself. The main tempo marking at the beginning, Adagio Rubato, allows the performer to  naturally act out the process of hearing an idea, then pausing for contemplation. Executing a strict tempo is not necessary. However, each phrase should be performed without drastic tempo changes.

Contemporary,Sacred. Score. 12 pages. Stephen R Dalrymple #3098321. Published by Stephen R Dalrymple (A0.818235). Beneath the Cross of Jesus ♫ Original piano arrangement by Stephen R Dalrymple ♫ Based on the public domain hymn by Elizabeth C. Clephane 1830–1869 (lyrics) and Frederick Charles Maker 1844–1927 (melody) ♫ In preparing to compose the arrangement I asked myself “What would be the opposite of “Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand.†How could I picture that? The opposite of firm footing, stability, taking a stand is vacillating between ideas or chasing numerous ideas. ♫ I pictured the wind scattering leaves and debris, but failing to budge heavy objects, anchored to the ground. ♫ Our culture bids us chase after status, power, money, pleasure, thrills … The problem, of course is that the shelf life of the satisfaction that these things brings is very short. Chasing after status, power, money, pleasure, thrills, etc. is like is like chasing the wind. ♫ Portraying chasing the wind allowed me to use some contemporary classical composition techniques such as polymeter, polytonality, and deliberate dissonance. The first theme suggests the futility and inevitable frustration of chasing the wind. The score opens up to the beauty of a life grounded on the cross of Jesus Christ. ♫ music © 2017 (copyright registered in ‘I See Your Glory’ collection) ♫ recording ℗ 2022 Stephen R Dalrymple ♫ presentation © 2022 Stephen R Dalrymple ♫ performed by the composer ♫ This .pdf file includes 2 files: 1) Letter size piano score 2) Small page piano score for performing from a 10 inch tablet, 4) Small page piano score for performing from a 10 inch tablet. ♫ (Tell your computer which pages you want to print.

Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1077832 Composed by Alan Bullard. Classical,Contemporary. Score. 7 pages. Colne Edition / BullardMusic #682016. Published by Colne Edition / BullardMusic (A0.1077832). The poet Edmund Blunden served in the First World War, seeing continuous action in the front line. He spent his later years in Long Melford, Suffolk, where he wrote this poem in 1964: the mill-pond in the centre of the village reminded him of events of nearly 50 years previously, still clearly etched in the his mind. Bullard’s setting responds to this powerful imagery with troubled simplicity in the outer sections framing anguished memories of the battlefield at the central climax, making a telling recital piece railing at the futility of war.

String Quartet - difficult - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q6173 2nd string quartet. Composed by Joerg Widmann. This edition: score and parts. Downloadable, Score and parts. Duration 16 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q6173. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q6173). My 2nd string quartet is one single slow movement. The piece does not directly reflect Joseph Haydn's Seven Last Words but I would not have been able to write it without knowing that work. The movements in Haydn's quartets (except the final earthquake) are slow movements of shocking forcefulness. What makes the work even more unsettling for me is the relaxed and cheerful acceptance of death (the 'smile' of the A major pizzicato thirds!). When I made myself familiar with the subject matter of crucifixion I discovered that terms like 'walking' and 'the last walk' were most important to me. My piece starts at the final stage of this experience. It contains a number of lost sounds, phrases of futility which come from nowhere and lead to nowhere. The horrifying rubbing and sanding of skin and wood become the 'theme’ of the piece which is combined with tonal, choral-like melodies. I am interested in how to make noises no longer symbolize desolation and tonal phrases no longer represent confidence. - Jörg Widmann.

Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1309103 Composed by Aaron Corley. 21st Century,Contemporary,Jazz,Pop. Score. 3 pages. Transdimensional Music #898301. Published by Transdimensional Music (A0.1309103). It is creative apperception more than anything else that makes the individual feel that life is worth living. Contrasted to this is a relationship to external reality which is one of compliance, the world and its details being recognized but only as something to be fitted in with or demanding adaptation. Compliance carries with it a sense of futility for the individual and is associated with the idea that nothing matters and that life is not worth living. In a tantalizing way many individuals have experienced just enough of creative living to recognize that for most of their time they are living uncreatively, as if caught up in the creativity of someone else, or of a machine. (Creativity and Its Origins by Edward O. Wilson)'Creative Apperception' is an upbeat piano solo inspired by the above quote and is approximately 2:00 in duration.

Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.710426 By Mirla. By Emily Mirla Harrison. Arranged by Andrew Rostas. Classical,Contemporary,Romantic Period. Score. 4 pages. Little Symphony Records #318361. Published by Little Symphony Records (A0.710426). A romantic, stirring piano solo, influenced by the Romantics, particularly Rachmaninoff. A passionate protest piece, that decries the futility of imperial wars and pays homage to those unsung women of Mirla’s generation, whose patience, stoicism and quiet passion helped them to endure and steel our nation to the horrors of war. It begins in gut-wrenching piano motif. An expression of all the sadness and sufferings of war. Then, it drops, into a deep well of fury, with dark, pulsating ostinato base notes; an echoed refrain from … Konyu Cutting. The tension and anger builds with each register lift, with each slamming note and chord shift, before an impossibly dramatic breakdown, with a stark rhythm change and hugely satisfying and dignified chords that pound the keys, to smash imperial ambitions and celebrate of love and humanity. The piece is a feminine response to the masculine context of “… Konyu Cutting. It ends with a return and resolution of that deadly piano motif.

Piano Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.950915 Composed by Terrence Niska. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score. 4 pages. Niska Music Publishing #6361479. Published by Niska Music Publishing (A0.950915). The battle is ended. The smoke begins to clear. As the gray light of day begins to filter through the slowly dissipating haze, the true cost of the war is made evident. Where there were cities…now only ruins and smoldering rubble remain. The survivors search for signs of life on either side, but there is little to be seen so profound is the devastation. This is what I tried to capture in the music: great sorrow, futility and hopelessness.
