Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.818338 By Stephen R Dalrymple. By Stephen R Dalrymple (Dalrymple Designs). Arranged by Stephen R Dalrymple. Praise & Worship. Score. 32 pages. Stephen R Dalrymple #6200707. Published by Stephen R Dalrymple (A0.818338). With all My Heart I Thank You ♫ original song by Stephen R Dalrymple ♫ CCLI #7153226 ♫ Worship Team Edition ♫ Based on Psalm 9 ♫ Thanks anyway… I suppose I should thank you… Thank you!... Thanks a lot (NOT!)… I thank you from the bottom of my heart… Thank you very much. That’s the nicest thing anyone’s every done for me. Our expressions of gratitude can represent quite a range of emotion. Ungrateful < lukewarm < minimal < genuine < deeply felt < extravangantly expressed. ♫ ‘With all my heart’ is often a Christian cliché. But it caught my eye in this Psalm of David. ♫ David had a lot to be thankful for. His early experiences, physical strength, musical abilities, organizational talent, leadership abilities, his loyal following, his wealth, the rise from shepherd (pretty low status in Hebrew culture) to monarch, his extended and extensive family, the many, many times God had rescued him from physical danger, and God’s grace that saved him from rightfully being publicly executed as an adulterer. ♫ “With all my heart.†I need to ask myself “Is my gratitude to God fresh, heartfelt, and appropriate?†♫ music © 2020 (copyright registered in Worthy Worship and 6 Other Unpublished Works) ♫ recording ℗ 2020 Stephen R Dalrymple ♫ presentation © 2022 Stephen R Dalrymple ♫ sequenced by the composer ♫ This .pdf file includes 1) labeled copies for up to 7 printed copies of the vocal with piano accompaniment and 2) vocal with piano accompaniment for 10 inch tablet. (Tell your computer which pages you want to print. There are programs online that will allow you to split pdf files so that you can choose parts you wish to print).

Choral Choir (SATB divisi) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1167223 Composed by Sally Whitwell. Classical,Contemporary. Octavo. 13 pages. Sally Whitwell #767600. Published by Sally Whitwell (A0.1167223). As a composer, I feel I always need to be working on somethinng. Even if it's not for a commission, I like to work on my skills, on my composing craft, on keepng the creative ideas flowing. So occasionally, I set myself assignments of a sort, which is how this song cycle Spectrum came to be. I set myself the task of interpreting the colours of the rainbow pride flag. Because I am so gay. The cycle is not actually LGBTQIA+ themed in its subject matter as such, the flag was just a kind of framework for my creativity.In thje intervening years since the cycle was first conceived, the LGBTQIA+ community has embraced a new flag, the Progress Pride FLag, which will give me a few more colours to interpret and add to the original cycle.Thie song Yellow Rain is a setting of a joyous poem by Monique Duval about getting caught in a sun shower on the beach.

Contemporary. Score. 3 pages. Daniel P Roberts #6888537. Published by Daniel P Roberts (A0.942005). Synth Bass arranged for 5 string electric bass. LYRICS: I’ve been running in circles Jumping the hurdles Getting caught in that rush of doing so much I’m feeling kinda worn out All this checking the boxes Trying to be flawless Has me spinning my head, catching my breath Too afraid to slow down I tell myself to keep this up That God wants more than just my love But I’ve been complicating things It’s just like me to overthink Gotta keep it real simple Keep it real simple Bring everything right back to ground zero ‘Cause it all comes down to this Love God and love people We’re living in a world that keeps breakin’ But if we want to find a way to change it It all comes down to this Love God and love people Oh this is freedom The keys to the Kingdom Knowing life will be found when love can be loud ‘Cause love is what it’s all about I tell myself to keep this up That all God wants is just my love No more complicating things No more need to overthink Love is patient Love is kind Rescues hearts and changes lives Love is all we need to make things right Gotta keep it real simple It’s really so simple.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Digital Download SKU: A0.1019365 Composed by Kevin Longley. Christian,Praise & Worship,Sacred. Octavo. 10 pages. Kevin Longley #6344809. Published by Kevin Longley (A0.1019365). With My HeartInspiration In 2012 my wife suggested we attend a church service at a Catholic church in town called Holy Cross. It was unclear as to where this came from; my wife has never been one to attend church services. I agreed though I was puzzled. On our first attendance what caught my ear was the beautiful sounds coming from the choir. There was a choir director playing the piano and singing soprano, one alto, one tenor and one bass. They sounded quite good especially the director; she had studied at Julliard and there were several other choir members who were trained musicians. It was only a few months later that I found myself singing with the choir during lent. From this experience was born With All My Heart, written for the Holy Cross choir. The Music The music is upbeat, contemporary, with lyrics modified from Psalm 103. Completed in 2013, it was my first church piece in a dozen years. A simple structure of ABABCB with a soloist for the C section. Program Notes I thank God for leading my wife to this church as it lead to my resumption of singing for the Lord and continued composing of church music to this day in 2021.

One fine, spring day, I found myself standing in an open field of dandelions in full seed. As I stood there, a breeze came up and the dandelion seeds filled the air. As they swirled around me, I got caught up in the sheer beauty of life in motion and slipped into the present moment, a moment of pure child-like joy and wonder.

Horn,Trombone,Trumpet,Tuba - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1158388 Composed by Dr. Daniel N. Thrower. 20th Century,Chamber,Classical,Comedy. 22 pages. Https://gildedmusicpress.com/ #758669. Published by https://gildedmusicpress.com/ (A0.1158388). My wife’s from-scratch cinnamon rolls are famous throughout our community—especially among our children’s circle of friends. While enjoying a socially-distanced church service at home on Easter Sunday, there was a batch of those butterfly-inducing cinnamon rolls baking in the new oven. They filled the home with an exquisite aromatic delight. Then the magic motif chimed: “The food is done!†I happened to have my composition notebook with me, and the little four-note tune inspired this composition. It just naturally took me in some happy musical directions, and within a minute or two, the melodic content, replete with fun-filled, muted second-trumpet echoes, was scrawled down. The next day, the music was entered into the computer. It is interesting that I gave the horn the cliché off-beats that all hornists know and love so well. Funny, I usually pride myself on writing for horn as an equal musical instrument; however, this fun, happy melody just demanded an “um-pah†accompaniment. Hopefully there is enough variety to keep the part fun to play. It helps that the piece is only two minutes and something long. The transition into the B section almost wrote itself, modulating to the relative minor. There I paused briefly, wondering how to treat a minor section in such an exuberant piece. Oh, but inspiration continued to flow, and I resumed writing in earnest with a mischievous smile! This section beautifully portrays a naughty, sneaky kid tiptoeing into the kitchen for another cinnamon roll—forbidden until after dinner! The listener can hear the kid’s nervous fluttering heart, and moments of pulling his hand back in startled impishness, and even shuddering as he looks fearfully over his shoulder. At the end of the B section, he gets caught! Witnessing that low-hanging head and puppy dog eyes, mommy finds that she can’t scold the lad too severely. “After dinner, little one…†she reprimands with an understanding grin. The jubilant melody returns to round out the work’s ternary ABA form, though this time with a very sticky Ives-esque climax, reminiscent of a gooey cinnamon roll mess. Too enjoyable to be bothered by prospects of cleaning up, the music shrugs it off with flippant ragtime syncopations, and ends with the “hic-burp†of a very satisfied tummy.
