Bb Instruments-The Real Books are the best-selling jazz books of all time. Since the 1970s musicians have trusted these volumes to get them through every gig night after night. The problem is that the books were illegally produced and distributed without any copyrights or royalties paid to the master composers who created these musical canons. Hal Leonard is very proud to present the first legitimate and legal editions of these books ever produced. You won't even notice the difference...the covers look the same the engravings look the same the songlist is nearly identical and the price remains fair even on a musician's salary. But every conscientious musician willappreciate that these books are now produced legally and ethically benefiting the songwriters that we owe for some of the greatest music ever written. The Real Book: Volume 2 - Bb Edition features 400 songs including Air Mail Special Fly Me to the Moon (In Other Words) Just the Way You Are The Nearness of You Watch What Happens Willow Weep for Me Yardbird Suite and many more.

Question

This work for viola chorus and percussion was commissioned by the London Symphony Chorus and was first performed in October 1994 at the Barbican Hall London by Yuri Bashmet and the London Symphony Chorus conducted by StephenWestrop.The remarkable text of the Troparion written by the great Byzantine poetess-nun Cassiana was the inspiration of The Myrrh-Bearer. The text informed the architecture of the music. The viola solo represents MaryMagdalen as the cello solo represented the Mother of God on The Protecting Veil. This is where the resemblance between the two pieces ends.In The Myrrh-Bearer the Chorus symbolises ‘us’ the ‘sins of the world’ from‘stylized dictatorships’ to ‘the frivolous inane escapist vanities of the world ’ the to cries of ‘help’ after the cosmic catastrophe and finally reaching an apocalyptic climax in the words ‘We have no king by Caesar;’ adownright condemnation of God in the Earthly power.In a surreal way the Magdalen’s ‘sin’ shines through in the viola music because she recognises the Godhead and the endless ‘Kyrie eleison’ chanted by the semi-chorusrepresents her repentance and whatever is left of a ‘repentant’ world.The Myrrh-Bearer explores the whole range of the viola climbing from the depths up to the highest notes and then falling again at the end after theMagdalen’s recognition of the Risen Christ ‘Rabboni.’The last stroke of the gong in the viola’s final bottom C gives a deliberately ominous end to the piece.This is a special item which is made to order.

Brass quintets are exuberant almost by definition and Davies's certainly does not disappoint. It has though the rarer quality of being a consistent gripping and fully developed work: a piece as substantial as one might expect a string quartet to be. There are three movements of which the first is a romping Allegro with a slow introduction. Then comes a slow movement with vividly alive duetting from the trumpets and the finale is again fast except for a passage of questioning before the end.Set of parts.This is a special item which is made to order.
