The Holy City

This beautiful tone poem originally had many names but two survive today Fingals Cave and Hebrides Overture.  Mendelssohn took a boat trip while visiting the Hebrides area of Scotland.  The sights and feel of the rough waves the salty mist and the sounds of flying sea gulls amid the working boats at the docks provided the inspiration for this widely recognized masterpiece.  Originally written for orchestra this transcription faithfully rescores the music for capable wind ensembles of today.  Grade 4-5 (Advanced)

Haydn's Cello Concerto

Bb Instruments Ensemble

Take a stroll down a country lane in autumn and watch the colorful leaves drift downward. This waltz with numerous rubatos mimics the falling leaves. A simple but pleasant melody will have the audience swaying in their seats. Good for an autumn concert. Medium-easy.

Falling Leaves

From the midnight tolling church bell, to the devils call to the graveyard, and the final peace that will come to us all, the instrumental colors presented depict a lively and thought provoking journey of life itself.  This famous tone poem is skillfully crafted, enjoyable to play and loved by audiences.  Advanced level.  11x17 oversize score.

Danse Macabre

The pensive "4th Promenade" is followed by the spirited and whimsical "Ballet of the Unhatched Chicks" which features the unique colors of the soprano clarinet, soprano saxophone and upper woodwinds. The dark full sound of all the low instruments is contrasted by the traditional trumpet solo in Samuel Goldenberg and Schmuyle depicting the rich man and the poor man.

Pictures At An Exhibition

Although orchestrated many times this arrangement includes some new colors and possibilities while retaining the solo trumpet in the opening "Promenade."  The pictures included are: "The Gnome," "The Old Castle," "Tuileries" where a piccolo trumpet is scored in the playground dispute and "Bydlo."  This is a difficult but rewarding arrangement for those that accept the challenge.

Pictures at an Exhibition

This excellent and challenging duet was originally written around 1868 for two clarinet soloists and a municipal band. It is a highly entertaining piece and downright fun for accomplished clarinetists to perform.  It lays well for the clarinet with balanced parts for both soloists. This arrangement is designed for a typical community band that features either its outstanding performers or guest performers.

Il Convegno

The last two musical scenes from Modest Mussorgskys famous "Pictures At An Exhibition" are colorful depictions of a large Russian clock and a great gate that was envisioned to be built in Kiev.  Originally a piano piece,  "Pictures At An Exhibition" was a tribute to the artist Victor Hartmann, a personal friend of Mussorgsky.  It has been orchestrated many times for orchestra and even occasionally for winds.  This powerful orchestration will leave both the audience and performers exhilarated and uplifted as one can feel the enormous size as you approach and pass through The Great Gate of Kiev.

Unlike his lengthy William Tell Overture this lively and very playable
  overture is just over 6 minutes. Rossini was a master of melody and building
  crescendos. Both are exemplified in this light classical overture. His
  clearly defined form is easily discernible while being enjoyable to perform.
  Full score is oversize (legal).

Tancredi Overture

Karl King was a founding member of the American Bandmasters Association and his marches are a significant part of American Band history.  He also wrote in other genres of the era and this overture, with its stylistically different sections was very popular. One can picture an old-fashioned band concert in the park as it prominently features a fine euphonium performer and/or section.

The Golden Dragon

"The Bride of the Waves" is a virtuosic cornet show piece composed by Herbert L. Clarke a world renowned cornet soloist composer and early 20th century bandmaster.  This transcription maintains the style and spirit of the original.  Scoring is minimal under the soloist with cues for 3rd &amp; 4th horn and other instruments that are less available.  The soloist is center stage but still allows the band to shine.  This piece makes music of the past become present as the audience is delighted by a masterful performance of technical skill.  Band grade 3 soloist grade 5.

The Bride of the Waves

First performed in 1847, this song is one of the most beloved and emotionally moving Christmas songs ever composed.  Traditionally harmonized for woodwind quintet it is appropriate for church or any holiday gathering. It will have the audience feeling the emotion of that Holiest of Holy nights long ago and it is also enjoyable to perform.

Herbert L. Clarke was considered by many musicians to be the world's greatest cornetist.  His "Clarke Studies" and "Arban's-Clarke" books are still used today.  He also was a conductor, private cornet instructor and composer with over 240 compositions. The probable inspiration of this piece was the Haudenosaunee Indian legend of Niagara Falls. Women were held in very high esteem in their culture, but over the years the legend was distorted. Which version inspired this trumpet solo is unknown. The solo's main difficulty is triple tonguing. Audiences enjoy watching a soloist perform and the various sections of this short piece please performers and audiences alike. Band grade 3 Solo 4+.

The Maid Of The Mist

Trumpet Solo with Band Accompaniment

America was represented by the Sousa band at the 1900 Paris Exposition where he composed this march for the unveiling of the Lafayette Monument given to France on July 4th. The band toured Europe successfully displaying excellent musicianship. The march is lighthearted and warm in nature, tuneful and with a flowing counter melody. Full Score Grade 3

Hail To The Spirit Of Liberty

This five movement work written while Dvorak was an instructor in New York, opens serenely with a melodic relaxing section. Inserted is an agitated section where one could envision the bustling New York City streets before returning to the opening melody. Movements 2 and 3 are exciting and challenging with a 4th that is very emotional and passionate. A feisty closing movement unites and concludes with a short reflection on the opening. Advanced level. Oversize full score.

American Suite Op. 98

This short, less than 5-minute work has remained memorable for well over a century, partly due to the use of the theme for the Alfred Hitchcock Presents TV show. But also, because it is light-hearted, a bit comedic and enjoyable by performers and audiences alike. It is a tongue-in-cheek musical representation of an imaginary event where one could envision the marionet coming to life occasionally! Originally a piano composition (1872), Gounod orchestrated it in 1879. This arrangement maintains the format and identifiable clarinet solo. Grade 3+ Full score is Legal size.

Funeral March of a Marionet

Karl L. King's "The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" (subtitled Humoreske) is an entertaining novelty piece.  The beautiful lyrical melody that flows like rolling waves is contrasted by the solo bass staccato line as it lumbers along the ocean floor.  Only moderately difficult it uses scale passages and march form.  This flute choir adaptation features two bass flutes and has optional string bass and percussion parts for added color.

The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
