Of Monsters and Men is an alternative rock band from Reykjavík, Iceland. This title is from the band's 2011 debut album My Head Is an Animal, which reached No.1 in Australia, Iceland, Ireland and the U.S. Rock and Alternative Charts, while peaking at No. 6 on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart. The music translates astonishingly well into a quasi-minimalist style; inbue it - where suitable - with an Appalachian flavor. Check out the lyrics, and enjoy the story of the beast with those four dirty paws. Follow Gary D. Belshaw Music on Facebook and Twitter.

SKU: A0.1324942

Composed by Jonathon Erickson. 21st Century,Chamber,Contemporary. 78 pages. J. Erickson Compositions #913158. Published by J. Erickson Compositions (A0.1324942).

A three part suite of themes dedicated to the character of an altruistic monk hailing from the desert of a hostile land. Instrumentation consists of Flute, Trumpet, Classical Guitar, Timpani, Castanets, and Secco (woodblock). Ten Minutes in length with all three movements.

The Idealistic:

Skamos Levenbrand portrays the naivete of a young hero - one who wants nothing more than to save the world and protect everyone. A lofty and laudable goal, but one that our monk may soon realize may not actually be possible 

The Wandering:

Skamos' faith has been shaken. Though he anticipated life in Aknir was rough, he never considered that the real monsters in life may actually be the 'civilized' beings he swore to protect. This leaves Skamos shaken, unsure if his path in life is still righteous.

The Virtuous:

Skamos has overcome many of his uncertainties and has become self actualized. He has meditated on the concepts of life, death, and love and discovers there is more to life than simple heroism, and accepts that the simple pleasures in life are best shared.

This high energy arrangment of Monsters Inc will be sure to keep, you, your band, and the audience on there toes. The melody is thrown around the winds making sure that every section has a moment in the spotlight, when they are not playing the melody they are usually playing one of the many energetic lines that Monsters Inc is known for. On top of that there are three (3) solos for Alto Sax 1, Trumpet 1, and Vibraphone respectively, giving room for your players to improvise over such fast changes.

Without further ado, I hope you enjoy my arrangment of Monsters Inc by Randy Newman
