Charles Camilleri (1931 - 2009) was a Maltese composer. As a teenager, he composed a number of works based on folk music and legends of his native Malta. He moved from his early influences by Maltese folk music to a musical form in which nothing is fixed and his compositions evolve from themselves with a sense of fluency and inevitability. He composed over 100 works for orchestra, chamber ensemble, voice and solo instruments. Camilleri's work has been performed throughout the world and his research of folk music and improvisation, the influences of the sounds of Africa and Asia, together with the academic study of European music, helped him create a universal style. Camilleri is recognized in Malta as one of the major composers of his generation. He died on 3 January 2009 at the age of 77. His funeral took place two days later at Naxxar, his long-time town of residence. Flags across Malta were flown at half-mast in tribute to him.

Barbershop singing is often thought of as a genre of music when, in fact, it is a style of arranging. Any song can be arranged in the barbershop style, provided that the arranger be familiar with the tenets of this originally American--though now global--art form. Arranging Barbershop provides this framework. It follows in the footsteps of arranging legends, both from the early days of barbershop and those since the preservationist movement, including our modern, living arrangers. All of these artists shaped barbershop to what it is today: a vibrant, unique musical experience that has the capacity to be compelling both for the singers and the eager listeners. This book is intended to empower current and future generations of barbershop arrangers of all skill levels, providing them the tools and knowledge they need to bring their creations to life. Arranging Barbershop is divided into four volumes: 1) Getting Started, 2) The Arranging Journey, 3) Visions of Excellence, and 4) Learn from the Experts. Each volume is meant to be standalone but also a part of the greater whole: ⢠Vol. 1, âGetting Started,â provides foundational tools and approaches for the budding arranger. ⢠Vol. 2, âThe Arranging Journey,â seeks to provide guidance for arrangers at three levels: beginning, intermediate, and advanced. 714 pages! Vol. 3, âVisions of Excellence,â is a virtual roundtable with 38 of barbershop's greatest arrangers. ⢠Vol. 4, âLearn from the Experts,â contains two parts: Arranging in Action--dozens of hours of videos, with arrangers discussing and deconstructing their works; Arrangers' Toolbox-deep dive chapters on specialized topics by top arrangers Filled with case studies, specific examples (with audio and video clips) and lessons learned, each volume aims to unlock new skills and expertise for everyone interested in arranging barbershop!

This courageous and forceful melody uses frequent doubling of sections to add strength and volume to the developing string orchestra. Fearless legends are heard in the determined theme, punctuated with heavy staccato accompaniments, meant to be played marcato style on the string. Set in E minor, the piece allows cello players to explore extended F# finger patterns as upper strings get to practice a few high-3 sharp accidentals. The character of the piece is found in the rising and falling dynamics that depict the inevitable defeats, but also glory of victory of battle. After a brief respite in a lyrical middle section, the steady march returns in the low strings, bringing the ensemble back to a triumphant conclusion.
