This sheet music store features compositions of Don Shabkie — an active composer, church musician, classical pianist and Celtic harpist in Greenville, SC. Mr. Shabkie has received numerous commissions (see bio), and his skills as an improviser and performer are well-known.

This page is a link to Don's online music store.(The store may be busy at times, please be patient.) At this site you can purchase, at very low prices, piano music, piano/flute music, and wide range of church music. You can make one copy of the music, and/or the parts, and make as many copies as you need for your own use. Before you visit the online store, you may want to look below at the catalog that gives a description of the works at the online site.

This music is available through the Sibelius online music services, and all music is realized on Sibelius software. You do not have to have Sibelius software to look at, listen to, or buy this music. However, you do have to download Scorch, a Sibelius creation that allows you to peruse and print these scores. Scorch is a free download, and if you go to the store, the site will assist you in this download.

Original Concert Works

Three piano solos —Jazz Rondo, Arabesque, and Leah's Pavane are available now. If you would like to listen to these works, please visit the CD Listening Room on this site. Because of the complex rhythms of these works, and the necessity of tonal shading and pedaling required in performance, the midi replay on Scorch does not give an accurate musical picture.( go to online store)

Also in this section is a major work for flute and piano: Mystic Variations. Peformed many times at regional universities and concert halls, (including Winthrop University, Columbia College, and Western Carolina University), this work has been performed numerous times by Dr. Eldred Spell flute professor at Western Carolina University. He also performed this work on a William Bennett masterclass. ( go to online store)
