By The Riverside (Piano Solo) - Norman Tailor

By the Way - Vladimir Yefremov

Inspiring popular music from the Ukraine. Perhaps one would only expect original folk-music to come out of this part of Europe but nothing could be further from the truth. By the Way is a delightfully swinging little piece which allows you to pull out all stops: a very welcome addition to the popular genre indeed. Your musicians will have great fun in performing this little piece.

By Virtue of the Skies - John Prescott

The composers father, Jack Prescott, was born in 1922, and at the age of 17 became the youngest pilot in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He was somewhat of a daredevil, flying under drawbridges and doing snap rolls down deserted beaches at an altitude of 50 feet. During World War II he joined the Army Air Corps and flew C-47 transport planes from India to China over the Himalayan mountains. He flew 83 missions and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross by President Harry Truman. The heroism of these flights in the face of severe adversity is depicted by the dignified thematic material of the opening. Somewhat dissonant fanfares appear at times, reminding us of the constant dangers that were ever present, before the work concludes in ultimate triumph.

Bye Bye President - Christoph Walter

Bye Bye, My Friend, Bye Bye - Jan Pfeiffer

Bypatruljen - Kai Rosenberg

Bnsull i advent - Trygve Hoff

The composer and musician Trygve Hoff was born and raised at Rognan in Nordland and gained a lot of inspiration for his texts from the North Norwegian culture. He is a composer and copywriter of many of our most popular songs. "Ei hand holde i" and "Har en drm" with music by Svein Gundersen and especially his own "North Norwegian Christmas Psalm" are famous songs in Norway. "Lullaby in advent" may not be among his most famous songs, but it's a beautiful and thoughtful melody that will fit well with any Christmas concert. Hoff himself varied with musical styles on this song. This arrangement is written as a jazz-version with swing feel.
