Concert Band - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.885227 Composed by Kathryn Ellis. 20th Century,Contemporary,Folk. Score and parts. 85 pages. Ellis #3620131. Published by Ellis (A0.885227). East Texas, A Bear Hunt, the third of five movements from A Texas Symphony, is a musical illustration of an actual two day bear hunt that took place in 1906 in the Big Thicket. The hunting party consisted of 10 hunters led by Texas Legendary Hunters, Ben Lilly and Bud Hooks, and 8 hunting hounds. The music opens with a joyful fiddle theme representing nighttime around the campfire.  As the night falls, the music quietens and percussion instruments (cabasa and woodblock) introduce crickets, woodpeckers and nighttime sounds.  A rainstick and plucked strings bring the nighttime rain.  With the morning, ascending strings herald the sunrise, with solo woodwinds bringing birdsong.  The hunt theme is introduced by the brass.  The bear theme is played by the bassoon, who is surrounded by bees, played by dissonant strings.  As the hunt begins, the bear becomes alarmed, then the chase ensues.  The high point of the chase arrives with an orchestra hit.  The piece concludes with a triumphant return to the campsite. This fun piece is enjoyed by musicians and audiences for the fun melodies and unusual percussion sounds, length approx 12 minutes..

Concert Band - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1487746 Composed by Brian Ackley. Arranged by Patriotic Tunes. 21st Century,Patriotic,Standards,Traditional. 72 pages. Brian P. Ackley #1064684. Published by Brian P. Ackley (A0.1487746). Triumphant and noble, Patriotic Salute is the quintessential piece to honor America and everyone of us who make up this glorious country.  This arrangement will bring audiences to their feet while leaving your ensemble feeling like they have reached out and touched stars and stripes. Filled with patriotism and American pride, Patriotic Salute showcases ear-turning harmonies and integral moving parts, while keeping to the traditional rhythms of your favorite American Folk songs.  Arranged for your advanced high school band or community group, audiences will be delighted in this rendition that includes three main themed sections; Battle Hymn of the Republic—featuring a call-and-response with When Johnny Comes Marching Home and Yankee Doodle—God Bless America and America the Beautiful.  Each instrument not only shares in performing the melodies throughout, but also is harmonized to fit these picturesque imageries of America in this arrangement. Patriotic Salute is driven by the attention given to rhythmic ingenuity.  The percussion section—snare, bass, auxiliary, timpani and glockenspiel—are the motor of this piece.  The percussionists’ unique parts are separate from the ornamentations and pulsating rhythms of the brass and woodwinds, but also align with many of the syncopated and off-beat rhythms in the harmonies, as well.  While Patriotic Salute starts in the Key of F before settling in the key of Bb 2/3's of the way through, this arrangement by no means feels like a piece that sticks to just two keys, as modulations and borrowed chords are filled from top to bottom.  Each section is also written in such a way that the chords are not only cross-sectional, but also fulfilled within the section, adding to the lush textures. As each instrument’s ranges are stretched high and low, so are the intricacies of each passage that exemplify each instrument’s unique technicalities. Patriotic Salute is not only satisfying to the audience members, but also enjoyable to the performers. If you are looking for a straight-forward, yet exciting piece for your Patriotic celebrations, this is the piece for your library!
