God's Many Blessings

In this psalm of praise the solo soprano and flute begin in a recitative finally joined by choir and instruments in a joyful modulation from C to E major. The organ plays a major role with soprano and flute as running sixteenth notes in the left hand describe God's many and continued blessings. The middle section is a retreat from the driving rhythm reminded by both soprano and flute of the peace of God's healing of sin and disease for all who ask. Once again the music breaks forth into praise as it builds to a final sforzando of exultation in praise of God.

Sing, Choirs! is a library in miniature. It contains many of the Christian church's popular traditional anthems, including at least one example that will be suitable for each of the major services of the year. A number of Anglican chants (Psalms, Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis) are included, set out in a way that should enable those who are unfamiliar with the style to perform them easily. The selection of movements from the Mass can be used to enrich the music of the liturgy in services. Many of the works in Sing, Choirs! are presented in their original form, such as Bruckner's Locus Iste and Mozart's Laudate Dominum . Others are arrangements, adaptations or longer pieces, abridged to bring them into the scope of a useable anthem, including choral arrangements of Handel's Largo , the Ave Marias by Schubert and by Bach and Gounod, and Franck's Panis Angelicus amongst many others. This collection has practicability as a priority. The Organ parts can be played on either the Piano or the Keyboard. Much of the music in Sing, Choirs! will be suitable for special occasions, making this an indispensable volume for choirs singing at weekly church services, weddings, funerals and in the concert hall. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Orgue

Uniting traditions in the worshipping church-Different streams of the church adopt distinctive styles of worship thus creating their own traditions. Some churches are characterised by hymns which have stood the test of time others by songs that were written yesterday.Neither is necessarily right or wrong but we are in danger of thinking that certain songs are exclusive to our particular tradition. But what of the many churches that seek to progress from the old but at the same time are unsureof how to explore the new? They find themselves in a gap between the two often pursuing a style of worship that misses out on the richness of either. We in the Christian family owe it to ourselves and to future generations toembrace a greater diversity of musical expression to be open to some 'cross-pollination' and thus to share in the blessings of God's gifts.The Bridge a major collection of 427 songs and hymns has been born out of adesire to cross the doctrinal and musical divides between churches and to provide leaders with a resource which aims to be imaginative theologically sound and musically varied. It contains many hymns with which you will befamiliar and alongside their original tunes some brand-new arrangements. It also includes many songs given to us by the powerful outpouring of contemporary songwriters.

Music Minus One Trumpet-This volume 3 of the Signature Series will lean towards a jazzier concept than the previous volumes and to set that tone I chose Lullaby of Birdland as the first song! And who better to place in that #1 position than Mel Torme as the singer associated with George Shearing's jazz classic! I had the pleasure of playing with the Velvet Fog in a very memorable jazzy setting. It was in the 1960s and Mel did a two week engagement at NYC's Basin Street East with the Marty Paich Dektette Band. Let's go forward to the 21st century to my play-along version and a few guidelines on how to approach it. There are actually three approaches. First as the trumpet soloist then playing the unisonline with the horns and finally as a lead player on top of the little big band. Our next song When I Fall in Love was one of Nat Cole's many huge hits. It's a song I play often on my jazz gigs. Here's a very lush arrangement for you to explore the low and high register of the hrons meaning flugelhorn for the first chorus and trumpet for the out chorus. Notice that I hug the melody only adding ornaments here and there and a modest amount of embellishments. Please focus on the subtleties and nuances in phrasing which can't be complete captured with notation. Listening with the intention of acquiring these skills is the proper mind-set. -Bob Zottola.
