Giants In The Sky Pdf Sheet Music
Jan Dominquez
Recently, during a long drive home from taking my oldest boy to college, the mother of a 14 year old music student called me to see if anything could be done to help her daughter suffering from RP. She wanted to be able to participate in band camp, but was frustrated with having to carry around huge stacks of oversized paper music with zoomed copies of her music. She loved the idea of putting her entire sheet music library into a svelte iPad and then turning digital pages hands free with a device like an AirTurn, but the half page view for most apps was still too small for her vision condition. Was there any way to zoom her music even larger, say, to be able to just see one or two measures at a time?
The good news was, we were working with digital sheet music (the band director had been thoughtful enough to provide PDF versions of the sheet music), which meant that with enough creativity and imagination, we could find a way to refashion the page to suit her needs. I asked the mother what type of computer they owned, and she told me that they had a Mac. I asked her to open one of the PDF files on her Mac and set the view to maximize the width of the page:
Actor Book: The script the actors use. Clear, simple and professionally formatted to help give your actors a true theatre experience. The vocal sheet music is seamlessly integrated into the script to make your rehearsals run without a hitch. (PDF Download)
Director Book: A comprehensive guide to casting, sets, props and costumes. Plus the entire script with embedded notes on directing, choreography and music cues throughout. On the bottom of each page is a blank stage template for you to keep track of your blocking. (PDF Download)
Piano-Vocal Score: Professionally arranged Piano-Vocal Sheet music of the entire show in an easy to read format with script cues. Perfectly matches the Accompaniment Recordings. (PDF Download)
This work depicts a dying star in its final stages of existence, when it expands and engulfs everything in its path. With accidentals, dissonances, and unique chord structures, this is a fast-paced musical ride that is perfect for developing bands!

Paul van der Ploeg is a name synonymous with mountain biking in Australia. With his roots originating in XC mountain biking and after winning a World Title in the short and fast XC-Eliminator format, Paul has now turned his focus to Enduro mountain biking in a big way. As well as taking on various rounds of the Enduro World Series in early June, Paul made his way from the European mainland over to the Portugese archipelago of Madeira for the first inaugural Trans Madeira race.

One of the craziest stages on day 1 was the cliffside trail that is becoming iconic to Madeira. I led Yoann into the stage and the pressure of having him on my wheel got to me and I blew out the first 2 corners and smashed my elbow into a rock! By the end of the day I was scratching my head wondering how I was going to get through the next 4 days of racing. On the results sheet Jerome Clementz was leading ahead of Ratboy and local hero Emanuel Pombo (I was somehow in the mix in 10th).
Already the riders were showing signs of fatigue after a big first day. We soon got our first taste of some Madeira hike-a-bike with ridiculous views and a sense of being in the middle of nowhere. I figured out how to ride my bike again by dropping my seat post an extra 50mm before the start of each special stage and kept it rubber side down. On one stage I tried to follow Jerome and was so impressive to see his smooth riding style! At the second feed zone Yoann was so scared on his borrowed bike that he and Ines Thoma had a Poncha (traditional cocktail from Madeira) to calm the nerves! On the last transition Jerome had some French rap music playing to keep the mood high. It was turning out to be a real team effort to complete the challenges of each day. The final two stages started above the cloud line and then dropped into a thick cloud. It was scary enough trying to ride, let alone race, through rocky grass ridge lines only seeing a metre or so in front of you. We finished off the day in the Eucalyptus forest and it was such a sweet trail of flowing corners, jumps and drops. It was a killer way to finish the day and I almost forgot about the death fog stage. The camp site that night was in Funchal on soft grass and I slept like a baby in my tent.
I was riding pretty sore with bruised ribs and left foot from crashes. I hung onto my bike tight and got through the stages pretty clean. I tried to follow Yoann down the second last stage, but blew out a corner and then almost died on the multiple blind rollers. I was still having a blast and the last stage was the perfect way to finish off the race. Fast, open and fun. Everyone was giving each other high fives and congratulations. The ride down to the beach seemed surreal, we had made it! It was a real sense of achievement that we had completed this crazy event. I came into the Trans Madeira alone, but by the end I had made some awesome friends from all around the world. The results will show that Emanuel Pombo won and Jerome and Ratboy were 2nd and 3rd (I somehow held onto 9th), but I feel like the racing was a sideshow to the true adventure of Madeira. It was nice to kick back and have a well-deserved frothy with all of the other riders and swap war stories. Then I had to get up at 2:30am for my airport transfer and flight back to Spain! What a mission... Thanks to the organisers for putting on the race and my sponsors for the support in allowing me to get to these crazy events.
NEW YORK, Jan. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Tony Bennett's signature song, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," marks its 50th anniversary from its original recording date on January 23, 1962. The song garnered Bennett his first Grammy Award for "Record of the Year," and as a Grammy nominee this year for DUETS II, Tony holds the longest span of Grammy nominations in the music industry. Upon the release of "Tony Bennett: The Complete Collection," the most extensive collection of Tony's recordings to date, the New York Times commented, "We aren't likely to see a recording career like this again." On January 27, PBS' Great Performances will premiere "Tony Bennett: Duets II," a stunning visual presentation of the full performances from Bennett's #1 CD, DUETS II, featuring Tony recording with Lady Gaga, Carrie Underwood, Aretha Franklin, John Mayer, the late Amy Winehouse and a host of others.
In 1961, Ralph Sharon, Tony's pianist and musical director at the time, took the sheet music for "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," a song written by George Cory and Douglass Cross, with him as he prepared to go on the road with Bennett, knowing that the singer was making his first performance in San Francisco. They rehearsed the song after a show at The Vapors Restaurant in Hot Springs, Arkansas (President Clinton would later confide to Tony that he was at his performance that evening, peeking through the club windows). Satisfied that they had a song with a local theme to add to the San Francisco engagement, Tony performed the song live at the Venetian Room in the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. The song went over so well that at Bennett's next recording date in NY, he added the song to the track listing and Columbia Records made it the "B" side of a record that all concerned felt was destined to be a hit, a lovely song called "Once Upon A Time," from the Broadway show "All-American." Recorded in NYC on January 23, 1962, Bennett recorded it in one take and the song was highlighted by a gorgeous orchestration by Marty Manning, who had worked on several Bennett hits. As Tony recalls, "I was convinced that 'Once Upon A Time' was going to be a smash and a few weeks after it came out the Columbia rep called me and said, 'Turn the record over, San Francisco is really catching on.'" From a grassroots hit, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" made Bennett an international star and began his long-standing love affair with the city by the bay.
The song, rarely covered by any other artist, has become an integral part of San Francisco's cultural landscape and is played after every Giants win in their stadium. Tony painted a heart for the city's "Hearts in San Francisco" project, which is on permanent display in Union Square. This Valentine's Day, February 14, Bennett will return to San Francisco's Venetian Room to perform his signature song and his many hits for a benefit event in support of the University of California, San Francisco's Division of Cardiology.
