Par BULLA STEPHEN. This significant work for Grade 4 band has much to offer. The piquant harmonies of Movement 1, the introspective mood of Movement 2, and the Hoedown-like romp of Movement 3 unite to form provocative musical images. Stephen Bulla explores unique terrain in a place that seems at once antique and modern, while cradling the listener in rich, innovative harmonies. Have this be the si…

Par COURT DOUGLAS. William Billings' beloved song Chester, the adopted theme of the Continental Army during America's war for independence, forms the musical core of this fine work for young bands. Great for concert or contest, this adaptation is short and sweet, but does not skimp on style or emotional impact. / Niveau : 2.5 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band

Par HANNICKEL MIKE. Beginners LOVE to feel like they are playing 'REAL MUSIC', even at that first winter performance. These simple arrangements of well-known carols let your students do just that. AND - the 'suite' format let's you draw the beginning band's entire share of that first concert from one arrangement, if you like, saving on scarce music library funds. The sound of “Good King Wenceslas”…

Good King Wenceslas. Par JOHNSON TIMOTHY. Young band directors are always on the lookout for something new and a little different for the winter concert. Timothy Johnson’s new Christmas arrangement for Beginning Bands fits the bill perfectly. It remains technically accessible to the young band while exploring this old familiar tune in new and different ways. You even have the option of including a…

Par BULLA STEPHEN. This powerful, programmatic work evokes the story of the explorers Lewis and Clark and their Native American interpreter and guide Sacajawea. Written in two sections, with a dark and ominous beginning that leads into a lively up-tempo section, the overall effect is aided by lots of interesting percussion parts. / Niveau : 1.5 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par HOSAY JAMES L.. Now your band can boldly go where no band has gone before, and bring the “final frontier” to your concert band stage! Here’s James L. Hosay’s imaginative new tone poem SPACE PROBE. Since the 1970's, NASA has been launching long-range, solar-powered probes into space. Over the past 30 years, the Voyager, Pioneer, and Galileo series’ probes have sent back incredible photographs. …

Par JOHNSON TIMOTHY. Based on the well-known hymn tune 'Lyons' this arrangement begins with an energetic statement of worship. The middle section is contemplative in nature, representing the times when a person is involved in quiet, reverent worship. The conclusion returns to a dramatic, joyful statement of the hymn tune, ending with a bold statement of worship. / Niveau : 2 / Hymnes et chorals …

Par MOORE DAVID W.. A bright and colorful closer, THE MONUMENT MARCH gives each section of the band an important role to play. The 6/8 meter serves as a nice contrast if your concert is primarily duple-meter based. Nearly every imaginable 6/8 rhythm (without using 16th notes) is included somewhere in this piece, so bands that have had a LOT of experience at playing in 6/8 will enjoy rehearsals as …

Hot Shot March and 1, 2, Cha Cha Cha. Par HANNICKEL MIKE. Reinforcement of sight-rhythms is critical to the development of good music reading. The young band education team of Amy Adam and Mike Hannickel has developed the SKILL BUILDER series of compositions with sight-rhythm repetition in mind. With two great easy band arrangements, lots of sight-rhythm reinforcement, and specialised warm-up exer…

Pat-a-pan, originally Guillo, Pran Ton Tamborin. Par BULLA STEPHEN. Bernard de La Monnoye (1641-1728) fut un avocat, poète, philologue et critique français, connu principalement pour ses Noëls bourguignons. Le plus connu parmi ces noëls est sans doute Guillô, pran to tamborin (Guillaume, prends ton tambourin) plus communément appelé Patapan, que l’on continue toujours à mettre en musique et dont l…
