Baroquen Carriage is a brawny yet delightful piece that evokes contrasting images of the sea and sky, in a storm or at rest. It contains a number of rarely used chord progressions and cadences which give it a classic, yet fresh sound that that would surprise even Mozart!

In the spirit of Scott Joplin, The Old Warsh Rag is a ragtime piece for concert band. It’s intricate enough to offer a bit of a challenge, yet very playable so that the band enjoys its efforts. There’s a counter melody that is played by itself and then superimposed on the main melody at the end. It’s written for high school concert band or community band; I chose the key so that, even when it gets a bit intricate, it should be easy enough for everyone to play. The title for The Old Warsh Rag is a tribute to the unique way that people speak where I grew up in southwestern Pennsylvania.

Mary, Did You Know has been a popular Christmas song for many years now. This Concert Band arrangement maintains the simplicity and wonder of the original, and helps the listener to focus on the musings in Mary’s heart. It features melody parts for some of the more pensive instruments like French horn and bass clarinet. And, its climax is powerful and brilliant!

Rockin’ Rondo was originally a guitar and drum recital piece, but it’s great for a concert band. It’s a meaty piece; its form is ABACABA with Coda. Suitable for high school, community or college band, it has enough challenge to keep it interesting and lots of changes to give it wide appeal.

A delightful little waltz that sounds a bit off kilter because it has seven-measure phrases. To balance that, there are also two countermelodies presented, with the final A section featuring the main melody and both countermelodies in a grand calliope sound. The Cantummit Waltz is called that because I found it hard to hum a few bars when asked to do so by some people who were helping me name it. So they suggested that I call it the I Can't Hum It Waltz. Can't Hum It became Cantummit.

The Humble Waltz is also a delightful little waltz that sounds much more normal than its sister waltz, The Cantummit Waltz. The Humble Waltz also has two countermelodies presented separately, with the final A section featuring the main melody and both countermelodies in a grand calliope sound. The Humble Waltz was written as a response to the Cantummit Waltz and is much more hummable.

This arrangement of Windy is simple and fun, just like the girl described in the song. It opens with a tuba and woodblock duet and then skips along happily through a couple meter changes and ends delightfully in two parts. In some ways, this is a relatively simple song. In other ways, it’s tricky. At one place, the melody is tossed around, being played by most instruments within 8 measures. Then, it morphs into 6/8 time for just a few delightful measures before going back to 4/4 for the grand wind-up. IMPORTANT NOTE: The Cover Pages and Conductor's Score are 8.5 x 14. They will need to be printed on appropriate sized paper.

This arrangement of Angels We Have Heard on High, which I have titled In Excelsis Deo, is a classic Christmas carol that is relatively easy to play and has some interesting elements, including some alternate chords, a synchopated second verse, and lots of movement. It’s not long, but it packs a joyous punch.

Morning Star Serenade expresses  a variety of emotions, displayed as an assortment of variations on a theme. It could be called a tone poem with lots of motion, including an assortment of chord progession settings that make the themes into a kaleidescope of musical colors. There are also some fugal treatments of the theme, including an inverted motif. It's an advanced intermediate piece owing to the number of accidentals, dynamic changes and the counterpoint type movement in the instrument sections. If you'd like to make your band a bit famous, please consider recording your performance of Morning Star Serenade and sending it to me so I can use it in my website and promotions. Your school and band name will appear in all promotions. Send it to CustomMusic@Salt-Cellar-Creations.com. Thanks.

Although often attributed to J. S. Bach, the Minuet in G major was actually written by Christian Petzold. This arrangement pays homage to the flavor of the original by using a traditional chamber wind quintet for the opening measures. Then it morphs into a lively pop version that employs alternate chords and modal settings, counter motion and counter-melodic elements, prepared fifths instead of the modern suspension, and an uplifting key change.  PLEASE NOTE - THE COVER PAGES AND CONDUCTOR'S SCORE ARE 8.5 X 14 INSTEAD OF 8.5 X 11.

“Carry Me Back to Old Killarney� summons images of life in Ireland - peaceful villages, dancing on the green, or formal processions. Full of emotion and energy, drama and action, it’s ambitious enough to be challenging without being too difficult.
