COMING ALONG is a fun, exciting new march for young bands.
The rhythms, tempo, and ranges are suitable for 1st-year players. Instrumentation is for traditional concert band and will show how far your band has “Come Along�.

All sections have the opportunity to shine including a short percussion feature. There are plenty of parts for percussionists, but it can be performed with fewer for smaller bands. I hope you and your students enjoy COMING ALONG MARCH and I would appreciate any comments to kylemacmusic@gmail.com.

March of the Spooky Things is an original composition. It does “borrow� the theme from Hall of the Mountain King by Edvard Grieg in his Peer Gynt Suite.
This is a great piece for the fall or spring concert. All the wind ranges are within the range of a 2nd-year or 1st-year 2nd semester year player. Only the Clarinets, Alto Sax and Trumpet have split parts. This is mostly for range and harmonic expansion. 2nd clarinets never go above the break. Low brass/WW are mostly unison, but they do have some independence. At the end, ms. 66, there is an optional blood-curdling scream that is NOT notated in the parts. Have fun with this.

All sections get the melody and percussion even has an 8-measure feature. I hope your students and your audience will have fun. As always, I appreciate all comments and critique at - kylemacmusic@gmail.com.

SPRING FOUNTAINS MARCH is a fun, exci􀆟ng concert march for young bands. With tutti syncopation and lots of flourishes, the band will be able to express the joy of spring as fountains in the park start up again.

Woodwinds—Only the clarinet part is split throughout. The alto sax has a couple of split measures to reinforce the trills but supports the horn line for the rest of the march. The tenor sax supports the horn part when the altos have the trills. The ranges are within most 1st-year players and easily within 2nd-year players range. The 2nd Clarinet never goes above the break. The trills for all woodwinds (fountains) are easy trills for younger players.

Brass—Only the trumpet part is split and it is rhythmically unison throughout. Low brass/woodwinds are mostly entirely unison throughout the piece. Like the WW’s, all parts are playable by 1st-year players. 

Percussion uses a standard concert march instrumentation. The bells have some trills and tremolos that could be new to a younger player.

I hope you and your students enjoy SPRING FOUNTAINS MARCH and I would appreciate any comments

By John Denver. By Johnny Marks. Arranged by Kyle L. McKinzey. Christmas,Holiday. Score and Parts. 34 pages. KyleMac Music #812252. Published by KyleMac Music (A0.1215499).

Gene Autry, the Singing Cowboy, made this song famous in 1949. Based upon a book by Marks’ brother-in-law, Robert L. May, Marks wanted to put the popular 1939 Montgomery Ward story into song. Johnny Marks, a decorated World War II hero, wrote several popular Christmas songs besides Rudolph.
The song’s translation into several languages even had an effect on Finnish Christmas tradition – Rudolph is now head of Joulupukki’s sleigh (the Finnish Santa)!  The only difference is that the Finnish reindeer don’t fly.

This arrangement has a fun swing style to it. Harmonization is slightly more advanced from a Grade I tune, but the rhythms and ranges are very approachable for young musicians. The style lets them experience a standard swing feel.
The percussion is written for a drum set but can be separated as a traditional part for concert band. Sleighbells can have as many players as you want. I often had children come from the audience and give them little toy sleigh bells to play. This was always a big hit.

I hope your students and audiences (and you) have fun with this piece. I appreciate all comments, questions, and critiques. kylemacmusic@gmail.com.

By Jessica Simpson. By Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn. Arranged by Kyle L. McKinzey. Christmas,Contest,Festival,Holiday. Score and Parts. 36 pages. KyleMac Music #814364. Published by KyleMac Music (A0.1217848).

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!, also known as Let It Snow, is a song written by lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne in July 1945. It was written in Hollywood, California, during a heat wave as Cahn and Styne imagined cooler conditions. Despite the lyrics not mentioning any holiday, the song has come to be regarded as a Christmas song in North America due to its winter theme, being played on radio stations during the Christmas and holiday season, and having often been covered by various artists on Christmas-themed albums.

This is playable for 2nd-year players and has split parts to provide easier ranges for younger players and add more harmonic texture. The Drum Set part can be split into separate parts for a more traditional concert setting if desired.

I hope your students and audiences (and you) have fun with this piece. I appreciate all comments, questions, and critiques. kylemacmusic@gmail.com.

Selections of the suite for orchestra (1945). Composed by Igor Stravinsky. Arranged by Kyle MacLeod. This edition: score and part. Il Flauto traverso. Eine Auswahl der Orchestersuite. Downloadable, Score and part. Duration 11 minutes. Schott Music - Digital #Q46579. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q46579).

Igor Stravinsky’s musical setting of the Slavonic fable of The Firebird, L’Oiseau de feu, is one of the pioneering orchestral works from the beginning of the 20th century. Reviews of the first performance of the ballet at the Théâtre National de l’Opéra in Paris in 1910 lauded Stravinsky’s “dazzling music in all shades of colour� such that Stravinsky composed two orchestral suites of his ballet. A further version followed in 1945 which has in part provided the basis for the following arrangement for flute and piano.
