George Gershwin and DuBose Heyward's Summertime from Porgy and Bess arranged by William Stickles for SSA choir.

Duke Ellington (1889- 1974) was a very successful American pianist conductor composer and arranger. His orchestra existed for decades and was able to survive thanks to the enormous hits that he and his collaborators wrote. Many of those songs now belong to the standard repertoire of jazz musicians.Billy Strayhorn (1915-1967) was arranger and composer with the orchestra from 1939 and also wrote Take the A-Train which became the band�s favourite song from 1941. Many recordings were made of it. Juan Tizol (1900-1984 valve trombone) played with Duke Ellington almost his entire career and composed Latin songs for the orchestra. He is co-composer of Caravan and Perdido.Justlike in the original Duke Ellington concerts the medley begins with Take the A-Train followed by a number of classics from the repertoire of the legendary orchestra. In some songs there are soloists notable a solo on kettledrums in C- Jam Blues. This solo can also be improvised.When rehearsing a lot of attention has to be paid to the drum and bass which together form the rhythm section and drive the orchestra on. The other sections have to be tight and create a coherent swing effect. The swing shouldn�t be too stiff and can vary per song. For example in In a Sentimental Mood the melody can be played almost straight (classically) while the rhythm section continues swinging.

G. Weiss and G. Douglas ' What A Wonderful World arranged for SSA choir by Stephen Duro .

This edition clarifies a performance aspect of Haydn’s Symphony in G major that has long been misunderstood: in m. 1 of the second movement (Largo) the viola violoncello and several wind instrument parts are marked “solo” indicating that they play important motifs or themes and ought to stand out. Contrary to other editions the “solo” marking in the violoncello should not be construed as indicating a solo instrument with the remaining cellos doubling the basses. Rather the cellos should play as a section so as to stand out all the more clearly. Continuing the collaboration between Bärenreiter and the Henle publishing company in large-scalechoral works operas and symphonies this edition is based on the Henle Complete Edition of the “Works of Joseph Haydn ” . The complete performance material for several “Sturm und Drang” symphonies and all of the London and Paris symphonies is now available from Bärenreiter. Based on the Henle Complete Edition of the “Works of Joseph Haydn ” Orchestral parts in a large format (25.5 cm x 32.5 cm) Full score & performance material available for sale (BA10980)

Brilliant themes supported by virtuoso runs and energetic counter melodies ensure that each section including percussion is given a chance to shine.

Earth Water Sun Wind is a four movement work with the unifying theme of these four elements. The music varies from being purely descriptive of the movements’ titles to specific sound painting - Earth for example is pure music and non programmatic whereas Sun attempts to paint a specific sound picture. The Symphony as a whole concerns itself with man’s relationship with these monumental aspects of nature.

Vocal score and performance material available for sale. Lavishly scored oratorio of a festive nature. Based on the New Bach Edition. Bilingual foreword by Andreas Glöckner (Ger/Eng). Bach composed his oratorio for the Feast of the Ascension in Leipzig in 1735. Though this work has the duration of a cantata the choice of text places it among the oratorios. It combines the biblical account of the Ascension with chorales and free madrigal poems. As in other works which were composed during this same year (e.g. the Christmas Oratorio) Bach reveals a special fondness for colourful orchestration with two Flutes two Oboes threeTrumpets Timpani and Strings creating a splendid Baroque sound with a strikingly festive character. This edition is based on the thoroughly researched musical text from the New Bach Edition.

In Memory of Hubert Parry-At Sir Hubert Parry’s funeral in St. Paul’s Cathedral on October 16th 1918 a few of his friends made a small wreath of melodies which were woven together and played. The pieces in this book have been written and given by these friends and a few besides as a rather larger wreath in loving memory of him. The title of the book was suggested by the original heading on his own piece (which stands as the first of them) For The Little Organ Book .

As written by Gerry Rafferty-Baker Street is a stop on the London underground also known as the Tube. Scottish guitarist Gerry Rafferty started his musical career deep underneath London’s streets busking at various stops. He finally made it big on the international scene with his song Baker Street. This hit also helped his album City to City sell over 4.5 million copies. Hans Thijssen has created an arrangement that captures the sounds of the subway and includes an optional solo for electric or bass guitar (also playable by the alto saxophone).
