Free Sheet Music Online: Romantic Piano Music "Song for the Forgotten Rose"


Song of the Forgotten Rose Original lyrics for "Theme for Young Love" A Wedding Poem by S. Pena Young

LYRICS
In the Garden of Life, Midnight hid the Scarlet Rose. Wilted and torn, She cried to the heavens, Petals upturned, Imploring of God, That Grace come down from the mountain.
In this land journeyed a stalwart traveler. Alone, He had conquered roads forgotten. This path had led him through Hills and valleys. His search for Beauty.
God, Looking down upon creation, Saw what they could not see. Hope in the hands of the Great Orchestrator, In the form of a rose and a man.
Buried, In the shadows, The wanderer stumbled and fell On roots he could not see. Lying among weeds, His eyes alighted on Beauty.
For there, near his outstretched hand, Shone a Rose in moon's pale gleam. Tenderly he touched her tearstained petals.
A thousand lonely nights erased. A thousand lonely nights erased in a single moment Of Love's sweet embrace.

A Composer's Brief Guide to Percussion Mallets

When composing for percussion, it is important to know the difference between a variety of mallets. Although in most cases the percussionist will choose the proper mallets for the passage, sometimes as a composer, you want a particular sound. It is always good to research a mallet before indicating it in your score. Consult a percussion catalogue for a more in-depth look at the hundreds of mallets available. 1. YARN MALLETS They come in every dynamic range from supersoft baseball-sized to forte. They are the multi-purpose mallet, used for toms, suspended cymbal rolls, marimba, xylophone, woodblock, and pretty much anytime a percussionist doesn't have time to pick up another mallet. 2. CORD MALLETS These are harder than the yarn mallets. More effective on xylophone and vibes, these mallets can also be used for a variety of percussion instruments. 3. BRASS MALLETS These are for use on the glockenspiel/bells and the occasional brake drum. They produce a more "tinny" kind of ...

Percussion 101: How to Play Hand Crash Cymbols

Young Girl Plays Cymbals The hand cymbals (or crash cymbals ) are extremely versatile percussion instruments . The hand cymbals are used in the military, drum and bugle corps , the orchestra, and wind ensembles. Proper percussion hand cymbal technique takes many years of practice and hard work, as well as stamina and upper body strength. The most common use of the hand cymbals is in the drum line, whether in a high school band or a professional drum and bugle corps. Two cymbals are held by straps to the cymbal player's hands. In marching band and drum and bugle corps, the cymbal player often will loop their own hand in the strap, then grab the strap.  Protect Your Hands Tape, strap pads, and gloves are often used to protect the cymbal player's hands from blisters and the slow grinding away of skin during a lengthy band show. In the orchestra setting, where the crash cymbal is often reserved for music accents and shorter music passages, the percussion player does...
