Clouds That Sail in Heaven

Hal Leonard Corporation

One hundred years after the dedication of the Statue of Liberty in 1886, John Williams was commissioned to compose a fanfare for the re-dedication ceremony. At this event, Mr. Williams led the Boston Pops Orchestra in the first performance of this work, which the composer described as a group of American airs and tunes of his own invention.

Liberty Fanfare

This exciting overture shares a title with the poem that inspired it, High Flight. The poem by John Gillespie Magee embodies the spirit to explore and dance freely in the sky.

Fanfare for Our Time

Neil A. Kjos Music Company

Written to teach syncopation across the middle of the measure, all parts have modest ranges, and care is taken with clarinets crossing over the break. Every section gets the melody at some point, and any important lines in the rarer instruments (oboe, bassoon, horn, etc.) are doubled in another instrument. There are a good amount of percussion parts, and contemporary harmonies not often heard in music at this difficulty level (sevenths, ninths, elevenths, etc.) are idiomatic and playable. Correlates with Tradition of Excellence Book 2, page 34.

Rhythmic Festival

John Wasson Music

Bright, heroic spirit fills this band fanfare full of bold brass statements and agile woodwind runs. The orchestration balances powerful moments with calmer passages, creating contrast while maintaining forward momentum. Scored as a fresh take on a Dallas Brass classic, it retains its clear ceremonial character that makes it a strong opener for patriotic events as well as traditional concerts.

American Fanfare

Level up your young band's concert experience with this playful and energetic work inspired by classic video game music. Centered around the first six notes commonly taught in beginning band, the piece also introduces concert D, E natural, and G in a fun and accessible way. Staccato eighth notes, musical "pixels," and driving rhythms help build a colorful eight-bit soundscape enhanced by an optional digital acoustic backing track. Flexible endings make this a versatile and exciting addition to any young band concert.

Pixels

Inspired by a high school student who found happy moments even in the face of cancer, this uplifting work combines engaging rhythms, energetic melodies, bombastic percussion, and hints of Beethoven's Ode to Joy to create a message of positivity for performers and audiences alike. Wonderful lyrical moments create a nice contrast while still maintaining the high energy. All sections get to flex their muscles. Destined to be a favorite!

Choose Joy

Optional clarinet and saxophone parts that double the horn part add to the flexibility. Rated ARRGH!
