£46.00The Yellow Moon
When the moon appears orange or yellow, it simply means we are seeing it through more layers of the atmosphere. This lyrical composition set in the accessible key of concert B-flat uses multiple musical layers to create a musical impression of the moon's appearance. Gentle percussion and small dissonant moments offer the opportunity to learn rubato phrasing. Some tempo variations help create a mysterious mood and approachable instrumental ranges allow performers to focus on creating emotional moments with a beautiful performance.

£59.00Tropanka and Patsh Tantz
This two-movement work is sure to be a hit at your next concert! The first movement, Tropanka (pronounced "tro-PAHN-kuh"), translates as "stomping dance" and originated in Bulgaria. One can hear two repeated notes at the end of each phrase - this is where the dancers stomp! The second movement, Patsh Tantz (pronounced "PAHTSH tahnts") is a classic example of Klezmer, or Eastern European Jewish folk music. The title of this movement is Yiddish for "clapping dance", and all the players get the chance to clap at certain points in their individual parts. Both movements should be played rhythmically; adding weight to many of the downbeats will help bring out the "earthy" character of the music.

£59.00Hope Remains Within - Zachary Cairns
Pandora opens a jar (in seemingly more accurate translations) and releases numerous evils, diseases and other pains into the world, but one thing remains within the jar: hope. Why does hope remain within? Why doesn't it come out and help humanity? Why was it included with all those evils in the first place? Zachary Cairns wrote this piece to engage these unanswered questions. This dramatic concert selection encourages students and listeners to consider their own ideas of what hope is.
