Concert band - Beginning - Digital Download SKU: IZ.CBS1615-S Composed by Daniel Jones. Score. 11 pages. Imagine Music - Digital #CBS1615-S. Published by Imagine Music - Digital (IZ.CBS1615-S). 9 x 12 in inches.Reflections on a German Folk Song is based on the traditional round Himmel und Erde, which directly translated meansHeaven and Earth, however the common English title is Music Alone Shall Live. While teaching music for SaydelCommunity School District in Des Moines, Iowa, I taught the round to elementary students and concluded that the folk tunewould lend itself well to young instrumentalists. Consequently, I set out to arrange the round for emerging band.After an introduction based on motives and rhythms of the round, the tune is initially played by an alto saxophone solo (oroboe). After a transition from the key of F Major to E-Flat Major, the band divides into three groups to play the three-voiceround. The entire round is repeated twice, exhibiting a lengthy crescendo and eventual diminuendo caused by the threeinstrument groupings ending their voices in the round.Having students perform a simple, yet lyrical round provides for a variety of educational opportunities. Similar to youngvocal ensembles, performing a round helps students to securely play with a group that is doing something different thanother sections of the ensemble, which ultimately assists in the transition to playing within a smaller, individual section orindependent part. Reflections on a German Folksong contains simplistic rhythms, which allows students to primarily focuson phrasing, articulation, tone quality and dynamics.

Concert band - Grade 2 - Digital Download SKU: IZ.CBW174-S Composed by Arthur J. Michaels. Pathways Series. Score. 11 pages. Imagine Music - Digital #CBW174-S. Published by Imagine Music - Digital (IZ.CBW174-S). 9 x 12 in inches.Clarinet Chanson features the clarinet's chalumeau register, the lowest octave of the clarinet family instruments. A chanson is a 14th- to 16th-century French song for voices with instrumental accompaniment. In Clarinet Chanson, the band instruments take the role of the chanson's voices.This Grade 2 piece begins with the clarinets playing a cantabile melody in the chalumeau register. The piece includes a middle section with the low brasses and low woodwinds sharing the melody while other instruments play a contrasting staccato accompaniment. The piece then enters a transition, and Clarinet Chanson ends with a restatement of the clarinet theme.Clarinet Chanson provides ample opportunities to teach lessons in maintaining a steady tempo, blending, intonation, phrasing, and observing dynamics. It also provides an opportunity to teach the clarinet players how to get a rich, full sound in the chalumeau register.Clarinet Chanson is a quiet, change-of-pace piece that lets your band and all of its players shine. Program this piece in any venue. It is sure to be well-received both by players and audiences.

Concert Band - Grade 2 - Digital Download SKU: B0.PDF-BAND289 Composed by Jeffrey Parthun. Project March is a compelling choice for Grade 2 level band students. Multicultural. Score and Parts. 31 pages. PDF Band Music #PDF-BAND289. Published by PDF Band Music (B0.PDF-BAND289). 8.5 x 11 inches.This arrangement of Harold Bennett’s (aka. Henry Fillmore) classic junior/senior high school march is unique in a number of ways. Rehearsal marks help teach music terms. The piece was written to encourage all of the clarinets to work over the break. Any clarinetist having difficulty with the range may play the Trumpet 2 part. The trombone and baritone parts are both tenor voices and are identified as Trombone/Baritone 1 (high) and Baritone/Trombone 2 (low). Either instrument may play either part. Like many marches, Project teaches a multitude of concepts. In particular, it clearly teaches the importance of understanding how your particular part fits in with the others. about good balance if the parts containing the countermelodies understand that those lines need to come to the forefront. .

Concert Band - Digital Download SKU: IZ.CBW221-S Composed by Gary Gazlay. Score. 16 pages. Imagine Music - Digital #CBW221-S. Published by Imagine Music - Digital (IZ.CBW221-S). 8.5 x 11 inches.This chorus is a setting of a sonnet from an 1874 collection by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882). It vividly describes the appearance of The Galaxy (The Milky Way) with a stream of images: “Torrent of light, the “river of the air whose bed of “glimmering stars appear “Like gold and silver sands in some ravine / Where mountain streams have left their channels bare! Before sharing his poetic opinion of just what The Galaxy is, Longfellow dismisses the view of the eleventh-century Spaniard, who sees it as “the pathway for Santiago Matamoros* to “descend…in celestial armor to save the Christians from the Muslim Moors. Nor does he endorse the ancient Greek view that The Galaxy amounts to a sky “scorched [by] the hoofs of Phaeton's§ horses, when he almost set the world on fire by driving his sun chariot too close to the earth.Ultimately Longfellow sees The Galaxy as “the white drift of worlds o'er chasms of sable, / The star-dust…whirled a loft…From the invisible chariot-wheels of God.The music reflects many of the poem's images, for example: women's voices alone at “gold and silver sands; an open fifth at “channels bare; a quicker tempo at the militant reference to the Spaniard; longer notes at “heav'ns were fair; fugato entrances and a faster tempo at “hot coursers trod; upward spiraling sixteenth notes at “stardust that is whirled aloft; and a climax followed by a softening uncharacteristic chord progression at “invisible chariot-wheels of God.

Score and Parts. 38 pages. PDF Band Music #PDF-BAND355. Published by PDF Band Music (B0.PDF-BAND355). 8.5 x 11 inches.The Three Ring March is a tribute to the marches written for the great circuses in America by Karl King and Henry Fillmore, and even Sousa himself.  These were typically exciting marches which were played faster than military march music. In this composition, the rhythms are syncopated and accented.  The use of accidentals will help students practice combinations of fingerings not always used.  Three clarinet and three trumpet parts are included. The melody is passed to the lower voices at one point to give the march contrast and added interest.

PDF Band Music #PDF-BAND324.

The main theme is presented in Cm and on the repeat of the theme a lovely countermelody is added. The lower voices come to the front in the 2nd strain in Fm and this leads to the Eb major trio section. After the trio the piece returns the original Cm tonality and comes to a rousing end. Students will enjoy rehearsing and performing Solemn March.
