Tsukuyomi is a captivating wind band composition inspired by the moon god Tsukuyomi from Japanese mythology. Combining elements of serene moonlight and powerful, rhythmic energy, this piece features a delicate balance between ethereal melody and driving pulse. Drawing on traditional Japanese scales and minimalist imagery, Tsukuyomi evokes a sense of mystery and celestial grace, with a hint of tension, capturing the moon god's quiet strength. A perfect choice for intermediate ensembles seeking to explore rich harmonic textures and dynamic contrasts.

"Danse Satanique" begins with an incantation to the solo Horn addressing the occult forces. The end of this incantation is taken up by the Clarinets in the form of a litany giving rise to depths an evil power symbolized not only by the disorganized thrill of a part of the orchestra but also by the power of the Trombones in glissandi. Soon, the emergence of an evil world - with its reminders of the incantatory theme - is set up and inevitably leads to satanic dance.

Southern Music Company

Adventurous energy and a mature sound set this beginning band work apart as an engaging introduction to 3/4 meter. Brief meter changes, dorian mode color, and dotted‑quarter rhythms appear alongside clear accented articulations, all within conservative ranges. A strong elementary‑level closer that builds rhythmic understanding and expressive balance while sounding full and confident.

The Tale of Queen Anne's Revenge

FJH Music Company Inc

This work for young band draws inspiration from a park in the Great Lakes region where an annual display of dancing lights brightens the winter skies. Active percussion, staccato rhythms, and careful scoring ensure that this work is a fun, yet achievable piece that would be appropriate for winter celebrations or any concert throughout the year. Shining!

Dancing Lights

Carl Fischer LLC

A fun and unique composition written for young band and electric guitar, inspired by the composer's grandson, who plays trumpet and guitar. The piece features electric guitar with distortion, offering an exciting and fresh experience for both band and beginning guitarists. The guitar part, which primarily consists of power chords, includes a short solo that can either be improvised or played as written. A drum set part is included; it's recommended to feature either the drum set or percussion, but not both. This piece is a break from traditional wind band literature and allows for a creative, dynamic performance that will excite both performers and audiences.

Distortion

Brolga Music Publishing, Co.

A fine arrangement of this traditional Japanese fishing song originally used to keep the fishermen in time together as they send the boats out to sea, haul the nets, fold the sails, and load the catch. With lyrics coming from an old fishermen's dialect from the coast of Hokkaido in Japan, bushi' means "folk song" and hai hai' means "yes, yes," while the word soren' is used to mark time. An engaging work, excellent for teaching the pentatonic scale.

Expressive writing and a reflective tone shape this medium-level piece for concert band centered on lyrical, exposed playing. An extended flute solo opens the work, leading into a 6/8 middle section with gentle motion before settling back into calm resolution. Well suited to high school groups, the music offers clear opportunities to teach phrasing, rubato, and expressive ensemble balance.

Shock and excite your audience at your next concert with this powerful work. Anger and aggression are channeled into action in this entry in the composer's unBroken Project, a series addressing mental health. This piece provides an outlet to channel negative emotions. Strident harmonies (including accessible moments of 12-tone), bombastic percussion, and the use of an Aztec death whistle combine to make a bold and dramatic statement. Thrilling and therapeutic, this work will energize your players and excite your audience.

Scream

Neil A. Kjos Music Company

How do you describe music combining elements of bluegrass, jazz, funk, blues, and just about everything else in between? "Blu-bop!" To further diversify this veritable hodgepodge of styles, it is  written for symphonic band in that most classical (and formal) of forms, the sonata - hence the "black tie" element. Tightly constructed, the piece grooves despite tricky asymmetrical meters - and most of all, it gets audiences and players excited!

Black Tie Blu-Bop

Until now, De Meij's award-winning symphony for band has been out of the reach of most students. But after close consultation with the composer, Paul Lavender has masterfully adapted and condensed three of the original five movements into a practical concert version your band can play! It includes a more standard instrumentation and optional cuts allowing for several performance lengths. Experience first-hand the power and depth of this exciting music inspired by the book "Lord Of The Rings" as perceived by one of Europe's finest composers!

Lord of the Rings

Mary's Ode to a Joyful Little Star

Bring a little bit of Irish flair to your concert program with this entertaining and jolly arrangement of a classic song!

The Rakes of Mallow

Four short movements make up this "petite symphony" constructed in the same form as the elements of a traditional symphony: Allegro non troppo; Largo; Scherzo and Allegro vivace. Each movement also refers to an element of nature. Movement 1, Air, is light and breathy, made up mostly of staccato notes. Water, the second movement, ripples and flows softly and gently. An homage to Holst's The Planets can be heard in Earth, the third movement. The piece concludes in an intense inferno with Fire. A powerful and cleverly composed piece!

Elements

Get ready for the high seas with this action-packed opener in C minor. Cleverly using a famous and catchy sea shanty, this accessible work for beginning concert band is a crowd pleaser for sure, and a great way to get your students inspired early!

Wayward Sailor

A superb selection for a mature band! Alfred Reed has created an exceptional Latin fantasy, full of brilliance and drive, which is based traditional chord progressions used by Spanish flamenco guitarists.  This is a challenging work, but well worth the effort required!
