With that in mind, it is critical to choose just the right Grade 1 ½ compositions as your group develops. As something of a competition for musical dominance between the Brasses, Woodwinds, and Percussion sections, AGON may be the perfect choice for your festi…

Par CURNOW JAMES. An exciting adventure for bands of a moderate standard. From a brooding, fog-shrouded sand castle along the seashore in England to another on the sunny coast of France (including rainstick and spoken “wave” effects) to an exotic triple-meter “Flamenco-esque” impression of one in Spain, SANDCASTLES is a noteworthy addition to the CMP Passport Plus Series. Referring to varying loca…

Concert March. Par CURNOW PAUL. The sounds of a fire bell and whistle add to the effect in this concert march dedicated to New York Fire Department 126, who lost many members of its crew on September 11th, 2001. Feelings of courage and resolve are brought through in the music, as a very effective tribute to all the firefighters who risk their lives for others. Young people will relate to the sense…

Par CURNOW JAMES. Through variations in tempo and tone, the Symphonic Variants bring forth the sonority of the euphonium and the skills of the soloist.
