Excerpts from Movement 4. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Developing an intimate understanding of the world’s greatest musical accomplishments is an important part of a music education. Every musician should have the joy of playing the music of Mozart, and the G-minor Symphony (Number 40) is one of Mozart’s signature works, and one of the greatest musical achievements of all time.

Par HANNICKEL MIKE. An energetic addition to your Christmas concert, the Holly Variations merges 'Deck the Hall with Boughs of Holly' (a duple-meter carol) with 'The Holly and the Ivy' (a triple-meter carol). This unlikely partnership sets the stage for some very interesting rhythmic effects as two strong and opposing meters struggle for dominance. As a striking opener or a 'contrast' piece, THE H…

Par SHELTON MELVIN L.. A touching and intense memoriam piece, the mechanics are on the easy side of Grade 4, but the demand for tone quality and control in tenuto passages and long slurred phrases calls for the best of musicianship from any group. The 'Adagio e Rubato' tempo indication invites the kind of wonderfully expressive ensemble playing that should probably make up a larger part of band li…

Par PASTORE CARMINE. Spain is a country like no other. Its scenic beauty, colorful history and bold arts and literature are unique and legendary.

Par BULLA STEPHEN. What can be more charming than a comely Irish folk melody? This is music that allows the band to play in the rubato style, with much room for expression. Found in an old British publication and simply called “Irish Air, ” this endearing arrangement is a rhapsodic treatment that takes fragments of the melody and develops them into a large symphonic work. The freedom of tempi allo…

Par BULLA STEPHEN. Galvanizing, angular melodies electrify this compelling overture! Challenge your band with this powerful, modern piece while you fully engage the audience. The spectacular opening leads to unexpected and intriguing places with relentless energy. This would be a great composition to use when your group returns from the intermission of a major concert. An atmospheric middle sectio…
