Concert Band - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1217848 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.

Concert Band - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.935505 Composed by Karol Kurpiński (1785-1857). Arranged by Kazys Daugėla. Romantic Period. Score and parts. 280 pages. Kazys Daugela #6666171. Published by Kazys Daugela (A0.935505). Karol Kurpiński (1785-1857) was a romanticist and one of the most revered composers before Frédéric Chopin, and helped to lay the foundations of a national style and prepared the ground for Polish music of the Romantic period. He’s a largely forgotten figure, but in his day he was Warsaw’s leading opera composer. A single-movement concerto by Weber’s Polish contemporary Karol Kurpiński is skilfully written, with a melancholy slow section whose melody is attractive. Elsewhere, the piece isn’t without its moments of note-spinning and overlong harmonic sequences, but it’s a welcome discovery nevertheless. The premiere of the work took place on the eve of Kurpiński's departure from Paris in 1823. Up to date only the first movement of the Clarinet Concerto, in the sonata allegro form with three themes, has survived. Concerto will be a fine way to demonstrate the clarinetist's potential for brilliant display and heartfelt lyricism.

Concert Band - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.535419 Composed by Carson Cooman. 20th Century,Sacred. Score and parts. 39 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #6237283. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.535419). Fantasy on “Nassauâ€� (2004) for organ and four-part band was written for and is dedicated to Wayne Leupold and Kernersville Moravian Church, Kernersville, NC.The work is based on the Moravian chorale tune NASSAU. The opening section of the work is slow and mystical: the band plays the first few notes of the chorale and the organ emerges from the chords with harmonic commentary.In the next section the organ and the band present the tune antiphonally because the organ emerges with a triplet figuration. This next development section builds to a climax. The band then plays the chorale tune all the way through for the first time with an organ “descant.â€�The final section recalls the opening material and the work ends in tranquillity The disposition and instrument assignments for the parts is left at the conductor’s discretion. Though conceived originally for the “Moravian church bandsâ€� of the American South, the work may be played by any sort of band (including concert band) or combination of brass or wind instruments.
