Concert Band - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.814737 Composed by Richard E Brown. Contemporary. Score and parts. 149 pages. Dacker Music #3029427. Published by Dacker Music (A0.814737). Adirondack Sketches was commissioned by the Town of Lake Pleasant, which is located in the southern Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York, to celebrate its bicentennial. Written for the local community band (named A Pretty Good Band, Amy Winnie, director), it consists of four short movements, descriptive of my memories of places in and around my home town:            1. Sunrise over Lake Pleasant                A gradual expansion of sound based on the horn call at m. 3 brings the                 lakeshore from predawn darkness to brilliant sunlight.            2. School Picnic at Moffit Beach                A march/scherzo expresses the end-of-school exuberance of the school children.            3. Canoeing on Kunjamuck Creek                A gently flowing passacaglia, with hints of arch form, depicts the calm, wooded creek.            4. Hiking up Hamilton Mountain                An insistent ostinato bass suggests plodding footsteps as a fugue unfolds above, taking                 a group of excited hikers up the trail to the lookout atop the mountain. The price includes license to make as many copies of each part as necessary.Grade 3     -     Duration 9:00

Concert Band - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1438479 By Graham Hamilton. By Graham Hamilton. Arranged by Hambone Music. Celtic,Contemporary,Contest,Festival,Holiday,Irish,Traditional. 85 pages. Hambone Music #1018499. Published by Hambone Music (A0.1438479). A high-energy, fun piece of music!Arranged for concert/school/symphonic bands of an intermediate level.A classic Scottish reel (similar to an Irish jig) sees a group of dancers getting together and starting to dance. It starts of quite stable and well controlled but as the energy (and whisky consumption!) increases the dance becomes increasingly frantic, with trombone glissandos providing bagpipe like drone-effects until the final movement where the tempo reaches 260bpm!! The dance finishes abruptly with everyone collapses in a big heap.
