Concert Band Score & Parts

Copyright Year

Randall Standridge Music, LLC

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

FJH Music Company Inc

This modern work based on Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" tells the eerie story of a man confronted by a sinister bird, and his slow descent into utter madness. A haunting piano line starts the piece, surrounded by contemporary effects and textures. As the man becomes more irritated, the music picks up in tempo and becomes increasingly dissonant and violent until it erupts in a cacophony of chaos. Finally, the man "breaks," and the unsettling sounds of the opening piano return to conclude the piece. A truly dramatic work for band.

Nevermore

Zombies are all the craze, showing up in movies on television, and in this Latin original, on the dance floor.  It's a clash of two worlds, the stylish and elegant tango being danced by two gruesome creatures. It's a fun selection with numerous opportunities for additional special effects and added showmanship.

Dr. Rockenstein

PDF Band Music

Here's a fun and playfully spooky piece that uses mouthpiece buzzing to create an eerie sound: the brass buzzes on mouthpieces while the woodwinds trill. Percussion uses sticks and rims to create a "dry bones" atmosphere. This piece is great for your very first concert or Halloween performance!

Skeletons at Midnight

Ghosts: A Midnight Tango

You'll feel the fire of the dragon in this dark, medieval-sounding piece!  The percussion section leads the way, using a brake drum and gong, and the winds contribute with a robust style and modal sounds. It all adds up to one dramatic presentation.  Using only six notes and note values no smaller than a quarter note, it really is playable for that first concert, and your beginning students will love to play it!

Dragon Slayer

Shambling creatures made of metal come to life in this eerie offering for beginning band. The first six notes taught (plus one extra accidental!) are utilized in a unique fashion to create a work that sounds much more difficult than it is. Playful interplay of eighth notes, metallic percussion, and moments for the winds to "hiss" and play rhythms on their stands combine to great effect in this work that is sure to grab your players' attention.

This is symphonic film music at its best!

Pirate chants and bombastic percussion, as well as introductions to first/second endings and D.C. al Coda, make this a work that your developing musicians are sure to love! Optional clarinet and saxophone parts that double the horn part add to the flexibility. Rated ARRGH!

Music from Wicked

Introduce young players to march style with a spooky twist with this dark and mysterious minor-mode march for beginning band. Built around the first six notes typically taught, this piece also introduces concert F in a fun and approachable way. Melodies are passed throughout the ensemble, and optional advanced and easier percussion parts provide flexibility for developing players. A great choice for concert or festival, and an especially fun fit for a Halloween performance. "Randy Standy Study Buddies" are available for this work to support learning and rehearsal.

Black Moon March

Put your audience under your spell with the exciting movie music from "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone!" The film score by John Williams has been described as one of his best, and Paul Cook brings the magic within reach of young musicians. Bands at the easy level will find it sits comfortably in their range, while some bands at the very-easy level will find the chromatic harmonies and the memorable themes are within their grasp as well.
