50 from the Fifties - Rock 'n' Roll Guitar Songbook
This guitar songbook contains 50 classic songs from the early days of rock 'n' roll and rockabilly - songs made famous by artists such as Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent and Bill Haley. The songs are ideal for beginner guitarists as well as experienced guitarists who haven't ventured far into the world of 1950s rock 'n' roll before. Most can be played with just 3 chords, and you need only 4 chords to play all 50 songs! These include: 'Blue Suede Shoes', 'Tutti Frutti', 'That'll Be The Day', 'Rock and Roll Ruby', 'Rock Around the Clock', 'Johnny B Goode', 'Be-Bop-a-Lula', 'Jailhouse Rock', and 'Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On'. Each song has been carefully selected and arranged for guitar and is presented over a double-page spread with chords above the lyrics. There is also valuable instruction in how to strum the guitar when playing rock 'n' roll, and a useful explanation of the 12-bar blues chord structure of many of the songs.
How To Raise Successful People
As much as we humans like to get our hopes high, we can't always expect things to go our way. Even things we have worked hard for can sometimes go downhill. It is at times overconfidence, but sometimes it can be pure bad luck. We can't get disheartened by something that was not meant to go a specific way. Don't expect perfection in all the work you do. Staying patient is the walk towards the reward. And making the best out of the worst can be the only way to get yourself going. Just about everything in your life affects your future in a way or other, so make sure that you do all you can to make yourself worth the praise. Keep your lifestyle simple but effective. Try to do as much as possible for yourself and make time to relax as well. For long-term success, willpower is the most important; make sure you have it. Keep your headlight and calm for the upcoming difficulties and prepare yourself to face almost everything life throws at you.

Collected Chamber Works
This volume contains the scores & parts of ten pre-COVID chamber works in varying combinations for violin, viola, cello & piano by composer Gary Lloyd Noland (b. 1957). These works were composed within a 30-year time frame spanning the last two decades of the 20th century and first decade of the 21st century (1980-2010). Included in this volume are Noland's: WALTZ FANTASY for violin & piano Op. 87, KORNGOLDAROONIE for string trio Op. 93, IRRATIONALISMUS for cello & piano Op. 96, BIRCHERMUESLI: "Cereal Music" for string quartet Op. 6, ROMANCE for viola & piano Op. 10, POCKET TRIO for violin, cello & piano Op. 79, INTERMEZZO for violin & piano Op. 18, DOG DUO for viola & cello Op. 66a, FANTASY IN E MINOR for cello & piano Op. 24, and FUGUE IN G MAJOR for string quartet Op. 13. All of these works were composed for professional classical musicians to perform on recitals and concerts. They are also suitable for seasoned undergraduate and graduate student musicians as well as talented amateur and high school aged musicians, not to mention the occasional prodigiously gifted tween or twain. Having received both high critical acclaim for, and enthusiastic reception to, his music over the past three-plus decades, it is only until recently (2021) that many scores of his compositions had been relatively difficult to come by, as they had heretofore been haphazardly available in only limited costly editions. The publication of this collection marks the third in a series of comfortably affordable volumes of Noland's compositions that may prove to be of interest not only to seasoned chamber musicians (i.e., violinists, violists, cellists & pianists), but also to serious scholars of contemporary classical music. Noland has stood out consistently over the years, ever since having done his time as a student composer in the mid 1970s to late 1980s, as one of the chief proponents from his generation (late baby-boom) of a way of composing that could easily lend itself to being acknowledged (rather than dismissed), by responsible critics and musicologists, as having eventually led towards, or at very least having become inadvertently entangled with, a trend of sorts symptomatic of a bona fide school of thinking insofar as its having represented his own (and certain other composer's) instinctive propensities for refusing categorically to succumb to mainstream musical whimsies dictated by the academic marketplace (if, indeed, there is such a thing). It is not the calling of any composer worth his salt, what with (as is par for the course) such entities being in possession of a patently conspicuous myopic vision, but rather that of discerning music critics, competent musicologists, and discriminating musical connoisseurs, to sort such things out. While such pigeonholing is to be eschewed at all costs, it is, still and all, a necessary evil. It is unmistakably evident to this composer that a new proclivity of sorts has emerged amongst young composers, as exemplified by the musics created by certain high-minded members of the post baby-boom generation(s) (i.e., Gen Xers, Millennials, and Zoomers), whose musical outpourings tend to be less self-consciously influenced by the more anarchistic, nihilistic, pessimistic approaches of the post-war academic modernists (namely: those who produce(d) works that tend toward the stochastically anal and promiscuously higgledy-piggledy) than their immediate forebears. Indeed, Melody and Harmony appear to be thriving once again in certain august musical circles. One can almost seize upon some vague semblance of historical continuity being manifested thereby-a sort of picking-up-where-things-left-off phenomenon-after a sluggish lapse dominated by steaming piles of post-war dreckage, during which years, it must be owned, many serviceable technical innovations were inaugurated by members of the (then) musical elite in all its avant-garden-variety splendor.
Little Pianist. Piano Songbook for Kids
One of the biggest mistakes when someone starts learning to play the piano is playing songs with their index finger instead of using all fingers and both hands. Most piano sheet music for kids has notes for practicing with the right hand only, which encourages the 'plinky-plonk' playing that children should avoid.In this book, however, all songs have treble and bass clef notes for practicing with both hands!So, suppose you are looking for a diverse collection of 55 large print piano songs for children, young learners, or adult students that are simple enough for beginners to play and show letters (note names), numbers (fingerings), and lyrics.

Morning Journals, Op.279
Strauss' Morgenbl瓣tter is an interesting example of a a work composed as a kind of 'response' to that of another composer. Jacques Offenbach, a French composer whose work served as competition for Strauss' own in Vienna, was commissioned to provide a new waltz by the Vienna Authors' and Journalists' Association to be performed at the January 12, 1864 'Concordia Ball'. This work was promptly nicknamed Abendbl瓣tter by the journalists and Stauss, whose orchestra was performing the concert was likewise asked for a new work for the event. Strauss cleverly left the title of the new work to the Association, who naturally selected Morgenbl瓣tter. The Strauss work was one of his best, and remains popular to this day. This new study score is a reduced-sized reissue of the newly engraved performing edition prepared by Clark McAlister previously issued by the defunct American publisher E.F. Kalmus. The large conductor score and orchestra parts are also now exclusively available from Serenissima Music.
Selected Piano Works of Helen C. Crane - Book Two - Advanced
Recently re-discovered composer Helen C. Crane (1868-1930) makes her 21st century debut with this collection of her piano works. A talented student of music, Ms. Crane was chosen to study composition in the 1890s with Philipp Scharwenka, pianist, composer and then director of the Klindworth-Scharwenka Conservatory in Berlin, Germany. Here she studied alongside later notables like Otto Klemperer who was one of her contemporaries. With the completion of studies her budding career was met with numerous accolades and acceptance into the various German & Austrian publishing houses: among these Breitkopf & Hertel, Gustav Vetter, and Ries & Erler. On one of her trips home to the States (April of 1900) she premiered several of her pieces at Mendellsohn Hall in NYC and herself conducted an American premier of her orchestral tone-poem "The Last Tournament", based upon the same named chapter of Alfred Lord Tennyson's "The Idylls Of The King" Her career was marked with well-met premiers in Germany and Austria and she was honored to have her music performed by the Berlin Philharmonic at the St. Louis Exposition in 1904. Her career appeared quite vibrant until the First World War brought it all to a close. She returned to the United States in 1917 where in spite of the horrific turn of events she once again was the recipient of an award: this time American. Federated Music Clubs awarded her first prize for her composition "Elegy for Cello". In the last decade of her life (1923) indicative of her success and her abiding appreciation to German-Austrian audiences, she was gifted an "all-Helen Crane" concert at the Mozarteum in Salzberg, with Dr. Bernhard Paumgartner conducting. She passed in November of 1930 at her home in Scarsdale, NY. She accomplished a great deal in her four-decade career, her music encompassing 71 numbered works: music for piano, violin, cello, string quartets, tone-poems for orchestra, art songs, works for choir as well as for orchestra and chorus and two symphonies. Her piano music gives a unique insight into her marvelous talent and reveals a heretofore unheard American strain: the unique marriage of Helen Crane's American taste and sensibilities and her German conservatory training. It is apparent upon playing and/or listening to her music that here was fertile ground for the blossoming of all manner of future American music styles, from music for the cinema to jazz and unique styles of George Gershwin and perhaps Irving Berlin.
