Offertoriale
This rare book appeared in 1935 to provide the complete verses for the Offertory chant in the Roman Rite of Mass, based on research into medieval manuscripts. These are not psalm-tone settings but through-composed melodies that add a beautiful dimension to the chant at this point in Mass. In his classic "Western Plainchant", David Hiley describes the ornate Offertory antiphons: "The splendid offertories of the medieval Gregorian repertory are still among the best known of chants.... These [melismatic verses] are purely musical outpourings, where attention to the text is suspended and sheer joy in singing seems to take over, ecstatic and improvisatory."
A Child's Garden of Melodies
"A Child's Garden of Melodies" is a delightful collection of songs crafted for children, set to the timeless poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson. Each piece is designed to be played and sung within a five-finger hand position, ranging from A to F, making it accessible for young learners. This method not only simplifies the playing process but also helps solidify intonation, allowing students to navigate melodic passages with greater accuracy. The songs are meant to be a fun and engaging way for students to develop their musical skills while enjoying the enchanting verses of Stevenson's poetry.The book serves multiple educational purposes. Primarily, it aids in solidifying intonation by keeping the melodic range within a perfect fifth, which is easier for young voices to manage. Additionally, it integrates the practice of playing and singing simultaneously, enhancing coordination and musicality. The act of singing while playing helps students understand musical phrasing better, as they naturally follow the rise and fall of Stevenson's rhythmic and accessible verses. This dual approach makes the book a valuable supplement for both voice and piano students.At the end of "A Child's Garden of Melodies," solfege exercises in each of the five-finger positions provide further practice in sight-singing and ear training. These exercises reinforce the skills developed through the songs, offering a comprehensive tool for musical education. Beyond its pedagogical benefits, the book also introduces students to classic literature, fostering an appreciation for Stevenson's work. "A Child's Garden of Melodies" is a versatile resource that combines musical instruction with literary enrichment, making it a perfect addition to any young musician's repertoire.
A Taoist Requiem (Full Score)
'A Taoist Requiem' is a moving meditation on life, death, and spirituality from an Eastern perspective. Scored for a diverse ensemble including piano, harp, woodwinds, brass, strings, and wordless choir/soloists, the Requiem journeys through a challenging psychic landscape familiar to us all. My aim when composing this work was to stay true to the spirit of a traditional requiem while invoking the otherworldliness of Eastern mysticism. The deliberate use of tonality albeit through the lens of modal scales hopefully provides a sense of familiarity and structure. At the same time, the score employs a variety of challenging textural contrasts, from sparse and intimate passages to dense and layered sections, and calls for expert vocal technique in the service of the emotions.
Traditional Jewish Music for Ukulele
The melodies used in these arrangements are drawn from various Jewish traditions, secular and sacred, and are among the most popular of tunes. Included are Sephardic and Eastern European folk tunes, Hasidic and Klezmer tunes, and liturgical songs. The arrangement styles are varied, including simple melody (with lyrics and chords), expertly arranged classical-style solos for players at all levels, and four lengthy duets and a trio. Players of any level of expertise can enjoy this collection - whether solo or together with others. You may preview this, and many other books for ukulele, at the author's website: EllenWhitakerGuitar.com. In addition to the (expected) Notation Guide and Chord Charts, the author has generously included some unexpected treats. These include the interesting and informative "A Brief Music Theory Lesson: About the Scales in Jewish Music," a thorough Glossary, and a ten-page section of Annotations. Although the book is primarily for ukulele with a low G fourth string on it, there are several pieces to enjoy for those who keep a high G string on their ukuleles. Chord fingerings for vocal accompaniment are exactly the same whether the fourth string is a high G or a low G. Also, seven of the melodies do not use the fourth string at all, so either tuning can be used for those as well.

Cinderella - Opera by Alma Deutscher
Cinderella - an opera by Alma Deutscher. Piano Vocal ScoreCinderella - eine Oper von Alma Deutcher. KlavierauszugAlma Deutscher's opera Cinderella was first performed in 2015 when she was ten and was successively revised and expanded until she was fifteen. In Alma's take on the traditional fairy-tale, Cinderella is not just a pretty girl who wins the Prince because of her dainty foot. Cinderella is a talented composer, envied and oppressed by her stepmother, who runs an opera house, and by her stepsisters, both operatic would-be divas. Cinderella nevertheless triumphs because of her talent: Cinderella and the Prince, a poet, will find one another, just as a poem finds its melody. "A young talent's sensational burst to prominence... The once-in-a-lifetime opera-going event that had audiences standing and cheering." Opera Today, 2017. "When the orchestral version of Cinderella premiered in Vienna, Alma Deutscher became an instant shooting star. Cinderella is exhilarating, enchantingly moving, and spiced with finely ground comedy, and it was deservedly honoured with a standing ovation." Orpheus Magazine (2021). "an opera of astounding wit, craft, and musical beauty... A smart producer would mount Cinderella on Broadway. In addition to its comedic force, its score puts recent musicals to shame, whether from the Disney franchise or Andrew Lloyd Webber." (The New Criterion, 2018).
