Songs are included from England Italy Latin America Spain Scandinavia Poland Czech Republic and more.Note on the arrangements:'We have worked to make this book both flexible and useful. The Piano accompaniments have been kept simple but much effort has gone into making them musically interesting and satisfying. Chordindications are given for every carol so that the accompaniments may be played on Chord Organs Accordions Guitars Ukuleles and other fretted instruments. A detailed chart demonstrating how to finger chords for fretted instruments is given at the back of the book.We have been careful to keep the voice ranges of the songs comfortable and the texts singable. Since harmony parts always add much pleasure to singing we have retained traditional four-part arrangements of the most familiar carols and hymns. For the others we have provided a second part to go along with the melody (printed in smaller notes) that may be sung or played on the Recorder Flute Violin or on other non-transposing instruments.' - Walter Ehret George K. Evans

Saturn the symbol of pleasure celebration and Christmas. The joyful celebrations of the Romans and the festivities of Christmas are easy to distinguish behind playful Latin rhythms and jubilant sounds.

This Christmas cantata is an uncanny recapture by Maxwell Davies of a relatively simple modal style: luminous sometimes plaintive sometimes rapturous. A linked series of George Mackay Brown settings designed to give pleasure (ifsometimes strenuous pleasure) to a non-professional choir. A spiritual mystery is glimpsed in an Orcadian setting. Commissioned by the London Symphony Chorus to commemorate its 30th anniversary with additional funds from theArts Council of Great Britain.The first performance was given in October 1995 by the London Symphony Chorus and the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Richard Hickox.Vocal score.

The thirty-one pieces include For unto Us a Child Is Born, Glory to God, Lift Up Your Heads, O Ye Gates, and I Know That My Redeemer Liveth. The editor has provided simple fingerings and a brief description of each movement. All selections are available as downloadable MP3 files.

For Violin Cello Vibraphone and Piano.This work was composed in memoriam Fred Hutchins Hodder who died between Christmas and New Year 2001. A violinist and gifted mathematician 20-year-old Hodder had been atPembroke College Cambridge and the title derives from the pleasure he used to get when finding unexpected connections between seemingly unconnected things. For piano trio and vibraphone the work was written for Hodder’sparents Monroe and Fred.

This book contains both exercises and songs for performance. Intonation, articulation, phrasing, and rhythm are strengthened in the exercises, and the conditioning is extended so that the playing of the songs and the recital pieces will be a pleasure for players as well as for listeners. The first and second parts are of the same degree of difficulty, so that the parts can be exchanged in the repeats. The songs include: Lieder, folk songs, chorales, choral songs, canons, song, Christmas carols, birthday songs, etc. The different recital pieces are intended as preparation for the great world of music literature. Tempos and dynamics can be adjusted according to the student's ability. Titles and lyrics are in German. / Clarinette
