This is a very lyrical setting, in English, of the Ordinary of the Mass, plus a Jubilate Deo, in seven movements. It is fully orchestrated (1d1,1,1,1 - 1,1,1,1, timp, perc, str). The choral score includes a keyboard reduction for rehearsal purposes. Written as a concert piece, it has been performed both in concert and in worship in Anglican and Episcopalian services. Total performance time is 25:45, but each movement can be used individually as Preludes, Anthems, or Offertories.

Missa Jubilate Deo

SATB Vocal Score

<p>The last piece Samuel Barber wrote, Canzonetta was intended to be the slow movement of a concerto for oboe and string orchestra, but he died before he had the opportunity to write the other movements. This arrangement is for solo oboe and a 13-piece symphonic wind ensemble.</p>

Canzonetta

Woodwind Ensemble

This "Theme and Variations" for band is meant to be both educational and fun. It highlights several traditional band-unique instruments and sections, while focusing on common band music styles. Band members and audiences can be invited to "follow the theme" as it morphs among the piece's six movements.

The Theme is a very traditional chorale, starting in the brass, then adding woodwinds before climaxing with everyone playing.

The first variation is a typical march. Its first strain is the main Theme, but now in major key and 6/8 time. The second strain echoes the chromaticism in the second part of the Theme.

The second variation, "Lament", romanticizes the Theme, extending it downward chromatically.

The third variation, "Groove", is a smooth jazz interpretation of the Theme, including optional improvised solos for cornet (or trumpet), alto sax, and trombone. Written-out solos are provided for soloists not wishing to improvise.

The fourth variation, "Caprice", take a light-hearted look at the Theme, this time inverted and eventually layered with several contrapuntal lines.

The last variation, "Finale: Fugue" is reminiscent of J. S. Bach's preludes and fugues. In the fugue, find the Theme right-side up, upside-down, overlapped, double speed, and half speed, all before concluding in a grand, majestic final major chord.

Clarinet Part with String Quartet

Parts

This concert band arrangement of Tchaikovsky's a cappella choral work  highlights every section of the band. Starting extremely slowly and quietly,  it builds to a rousing jubilant alleluia. It is a beautiful piece of music  that is also a great exercise in dynamic and balance control. Alto Clarinet,  Contrabass Clarinet, and Contrabassoon are option, but they add great depth.

Chorale and Alleluia

Concert Band Part

Rimsky-Korsakov wrote this 4-minute rousing march, based on a well-known  worker's song, when he was ousted from his position at the St. Petersburg  Conservatory for supporting his student's rights. This arrangement for band  preserves the excitement and flourish of his original composition for  orchestra. IT shows off the entire color palette of the band, from the  "loud" of percussion and brass to nice soft passages with solos for  flute, clarinet, oboe, euphonium, alto and tenor sax.

Dubinushka

Debussy's original was for alto sax and orchestra, and limited the sax
  part to occasional lyrical passages because of the amateur commissioner of
  the piece. This arrangement restores all the virtuoso parts to the solo from
  the orchestra, takes advantage of the wide color palette of the symphonic
  band, and stays true to Debussy's original orchestration. Duration 12
  minutes.

Concert Band Score & Parts Solo with English Horn

This suite for band is an adaptation of the composer's Missa Jubilate Deo. It takes the listener through six snapshots of a family vacation in Europe.

Total time is 21:41.

Simple Songs

This concerto for oboe, English horn, and chamber orchestra is in seven short
movements, played without pauses between. It depicts a life-long romantic
relationship, from courtship to fond memories. All relationships evolve, and
this piece includes elements of flirtation, cooperation, passion, fun,
boisterousness, drama, sadness, community, and quiet reflection, by use of a
wide palee of orchestral colors, rhythms, and textures. The beginning of the
piece depicts a courtship, and the end is an elegy. In between those, the
audience can participate in the creative process by imagining the nature and
events evoked by the inner movements.

Total time: 12:55

  Contrabass Clarinet, and Contrabassoon are optional, but they add great
  depth.

Marcello's Concerto for Oboe, originally in D minor, is one of the most popular recital pieces in the oboe repertoire. The second movement, Adagio, is considered one of the most beautiful pieces ever written for the instrument. This arrangement for woodwind quintet is in C minor.

Concerto for Oboe in C minor

Woodwind Quintet

Musicologists believe Johann Sebastian Bach wrote this oboe concerto around 1738, even though the full manuscript has not survived as such. It does exist as the harpsichord concerto in E, composed in 1738. Bach sourced all the movements from cantatas he composed in Leipzig in 1726: Cantata 169, Sinfonia and Aria No. 5, and Cantata 49, Sinfonia. This edition includes a fully ornamented oboe part, combining elements of Bach's keyboard version, an earlier edition, and this editor's new additions.

Friends join the soloist, and then the entire band, demonstrating our unfailing support for America's POW/MIAs. Duration: 2:30
