A Haunting Masterpiece: The Opening Theme from the 1978 film Halloween”

The iconic theme from the Original 1978 film Halloween, composed by John Carpenter, is a masterclass in establishing tension and suspense. This eerie melody has become synonymous with the horror genre and the terror that Michael Myers (aka. The Shape) embodies. The theme's foundation is a unique 5/4 metre pulsing rhythmic ostinato, that conjures an unsettling sense of unease. As the harmonic underpinning progression unfolds, it becomes increasingly tense and unnerving, creating an undeniably soundscape, denying a moment of resolution. This theme has become an integral part of horror movie history, evoking fear and dread in listeners worldwide. It's a testament to Carpenter’s understanding methods to compose atmosphere and tension, that this music can still send shivers down your spine even decades after its release.

Rating: 9/10 - A must-listen for horror fans and anyone who loves a good scare!

This catchy little number has been around since the 1930s but made famous by The Carpenters in 1976 (with a memorable performance on the UK's 'Morecambe and Wise Christmas Show' the same year, sung by Marian Montgomery). Available to concert bands around the world for the first time, this toe-tapping chart will hopefully raise a smile and gives several players a chance to shine with short solo opportunities - the drum solos should be as wacky as possible!

By Frank Sinatra. By Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn. Arranged by John Ivor Holland. 20th Century,Advent,Christmas,Film/TV,Holiday. 74 pages. John Ivor Holland #1047381. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1469360).

The Christmas Waltz is a Christmas song written by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne for Frank Sinatra, who recorded it in 1954 as the B-side of a new recording of White Christmas. Cahn recalls, One day during a very hot spell in Los Angeles the phone rang and it was Jule Styne to say, 'Frank wants a Christmas song.' Cahn resisted. Jule, we're not going to write any Christmas song. After Irving Berlin's 'White Christmas'? The idea's just ridiculous. Styne was emphatic, however. 'Frank wants a Christmas song.' The two met in Styne's apartment to begin work on the project, and Cahn asked the composer, 'Hey, Jule, has there ever been a Christmas waltz?' He said no. I said, 'Play that waltz of yours.' He did so, and Cahn began work on the lyrics of The Christmas Waltz, which many other artists have also recorded, including Doris Day, Peggy Lee, Bing Crosby, Natalie Cole, The Carpenters and many more. This arrangement has been created for concert band from the jazz ensemble version by John Berry.

Witness is a 1985 American neo-noir crime thriller film directed by Peter Weir, and starring Harrison Ford, Kelly McGillis and Lukas Haas, with Jan Rubeš, Danny Glover, Josef Sommer, Alexander Godunov, Patti LuPone and Viggo Mortensen in supporting roles. The film focuses on a police detective (Ford) protecting an Amish woman (McGillis) and her young son (Haas), who becomes a target after he witnesses a brutal murder in a Philadelphia train station. ~ Wikipedia
This is an arrangement for concert band of the incidental music which was played while Harrison Ford's police detective character, John Book, assisted the Amish community with building a barn for a young Amish couple of newlyweds.
(FYI: Earlier in the film, he had repaired a large birdhouse which he had accidentally knocked down with his car. So the Amish folks put him to work on the barn raising, as they called it.
Also, before he was an actor, Ford was a licensed, professional carpenter.  One of his clients at that time was Steven Spielberg.)
This piece basically plays like a canon (e.g., Pachelbel's Canon in D). It's performance time is approximately 3:45-4:00.
