Representing the unique compositional style of Bartok, these duets fill an important need for twentieth-century violin repertoire.

44 Duets

Violin Duet

Format

Beautifully arranged by J. Eric Wilson along with the composer, this version for wind band maintains all the wonder and magic of the original choral work. The opening is ethereal and somber, with sustained chords in clarinets and bowed percussion supporting a delicate oboe solo. The middle section shifts the principal modality from minor to major, and the layering orchestration and rising tessitura creates a tremendous rush of energy that leads to a triumphant climax. The closing section returns to the timbre of the opening, but now painted with hopefulness and healing.

First written as the bright, opening movement of Heavenly Home: Three American Songs, this enduring gospel favorite is set with a straightforward first verse and chorus. The next two verses combine traditional bluegrass vocal style with counterpoint and fugue, resulting in a crescendo of excitement in roof-raising fashion as the choir sings "in the city that is made of gold."

Original Suite

Editors Choice Year

In this edition for concert band, Robert Longfield has skillfully adapted the most striking and beautiful sections from the orchestral suite. The work ranges in scope from delicate and soloistic to the overpowering force of the full ensemble, culminating with Copland's signature setting of Simple Gifts. A wonderful opportunity for band members and their audiences to enjoy this beloved music from one of America's pre-eminent composers.

Appalachian Spring

Here's the original full orchestra version of the finale of Copland's "Rodeo."

A new carol sets a beautiful poem by Bliss William Carman, describing a wintry world with singing bells, a dancing star, and expectant hearts. The mystery, anticipation, and joy is captured in soaring melodies and warming harmonies, supported by a flowing piano accompaniment. A worthy addition to any winter or Christmas program.

Above the Weary Waiting World

SATB Octavo divisi

"You are the source of my strength, You are the strength of my life..." This was a big contemporary hit a decade or more ago, and it is still as meaningful today in this powerful arrangement. "...I lift my hands in total praise to you."

Total Praise

SATB Octavo

Kusimama is written in a world-music style that is accessible for choirs, both young and old, that are just beginning to be exposed to world rhythms and language - a sort of introduction to new languages, syllables, body percussion and style. The text in both Swahili and English is about standing tall on the earth, not with anger or aggression, but with hope, strength, acceptance, and positivity. The voices, along with hand claps, stomps, djembe, shaker and piano, all combine for an exciting world-music presentation.

Kusimama

From Jim Papoulis' Sounds of a Better World series, this original piece should be performed with an Irish flair that evokes a distant longing and yet is very hopeful in the present. The beginning of the song is gentle and soothing; gradually, the energy starts to increase, leading up to the refrain, "If we stand together, we will sing forever of the dreams growing in our hearts..."

Stand Together

SSAB Octavo

Aaron Copland's quintet from "The Tender Land" translates beautifully into this setting for combined chorus with band! Although it makes a perfect choice for Thanksgiving, the wonderful vocal lines make it a magnificent showpiece any time of year. The SATB choral part can stand alone, and offers a piano 4 hands accompaniment. The optional concert band accompaniment is at the medium level and requires the choral part for performance. It's a fantastic way to program music by a great American composer!

The Promise of Living

SATBB Octavo

This is the enchanting music used in the De Beers diamonds commercial! It consists of three separate movements, each eminently attractive and using some minimalist techniques. Not an arrangement, this is the original work as written by the composer.

This is an evocative, folk-like setting of Yeats' poem The Lake Isle of Innisfree. The modal vocal writing is both simple and sophisticated and always expressive of the yearning in Yeats' words. May be accompanied by hammered dulcimer which adds to the folk song feel of the composition.

I Will Arise and Go

SSATB Octavo opt. Hammered Dulcimer

Inspired by Psalm 133, Hine Ma Tov is translated "How good it is for all of us to dwell together in peace." The meaning of the Hebrew text is universal, as is the appeal of the lively music, which cleverly shifts between major and minor. The delightful "lai lai lai" refrain will make your audience want to clap along!

Hine Ma Tov

Beautifully melodic, with a great beat and a great message, this "world music" piece has a text in Swahili which translates as, "We have a right." Imbakwa was written for the score of a film about TunaHAKI, an organization benefiting orphans in Tanzania. A hand-drum part is included in the choral score.

Imbakwa

Relatively easy...entertaining...with piano accompaniment.

Flutation

Flute Trio

Now available for strings, Alberto Ginastera's well-known finale to his ballet "Estancia" is steeped in South American folk style. The familiar cross rhythms give this malambo an infectious feel – a classic work for contest and festival consideration.

Danza Final from "Estancia"

String Orchestra with Percussion Optional

This bright Hanukkah song depicts the spinning of the Hanukkah dreidl, and is especially exciting in this a cappella setting, which includes a translation and pronunciation guide to help your choir give the most authentic performance possible. It's great fun to sing and full of life!
