Free Sheet Music to Download

Dear

Here's your JB Linear Monthly Freebie.

This month's free sheet music is "In Bethlehem's Cradle", a traditional Puerto Rican Christmas Song in a setting by John Gibson for woodwind trios. There are separate files for flute trio, clarinet trio, and saxophone trio (2 altos and tenor sax). Since they are all in the same concert key, the parts may be mixed and matched if needed.

Download the clarinet trio of Bethlehem's Cradle

You can access the freebies of the past in the JB Linear Music Archive. Click on "Freebie Archives" at the left.

Smart Shopper Packages, Etc.

For several years, JB Linear has offered package deals of sheet music on CD-ROMs. This is now changed to a download set-up where you will be led to a secure commercial file site to download the files right away. No waiting for a CD in the mail and you save by buying the music in bulk. Here is a link to the Smart Shopper packages.

JB Linear also continues to offer a 40% discount on orders over $80.00. No wonder www.music4woodwinds.com got a listing on "Best of the Web"!

We are now listed in the Classical Music City website, Gimpsy, and Brownbook.

Oboe D'Amore parts have been added to Boyce's Andante and Gavotte, Vaughan William's Fantasy on Christmas Carols II, and to "It isn't easy being a Cuckoo". This was done at special request of a customer. It is a great idea since Oboe D'Amore is a very beautiful sounding instrument.
Simeon Loring has added Linski's Aria from Tchaikowsky's Eugene Onegin for woodwind quintet. Here is a video of the score with a recording.
