Concert Band Score & Parts

Copyright Year

This original march is written in a true and exciting paso doble (double step) style which originated as a Spanish military march that allowed troops to march at double their pace. This is written to be playable by younger musicians, full of memorable melodies, countermelodies, and stirring rhythmic figures to create an authentic-sounding work that will thrill everyone.

Luna y Fuego

This overture may have the most well-known theme in classical literature, appearing in television programs, movies, commercials, and cartoons. This exciting and authentic-sounding arrangement is very playable and will be fun for musicians and audiences when performed as a thrilling closing number on any concert program.

William Tell Overture

Energize your band with the exciting music that portrays two powerful sources of energy trying to interact and mesh. A driving, pulsating theme with accents in percussion and brass represent one form of energy, while the second force is mysterious with an exotic sound. The sources collide, then dissipate before reappearing with a vengeance for the high-powered conclusion.

Synchronized Energy

Editors Choice Year

Bring a uniquely lilting yet haunting feel to your concert! This lively minor-key waltz brings an eerie scene to mind as creatures of the night dance until dawn. After a brief introduction where the dancers seem to curtsey to each other, the elegant but slightly demented waltz melody is ushered in by saxophones. Melodic elements are added as the piece progresses and gains energy, with all instruments getting important roles in the melodic fabric.

Midnight Waltz

This piece was inspired by a documentary on Yellowstone National Park. The energetic character of Old Faithful, the famous geyser, is reflected in the upbeat character of the music. Evocative of the power of the massive eruptions, the strong first theme makes dynamic use of percussion. The expressive second theme represents the rainbow that sometimes appears behind the spouting steam.

The Old Faithful Rainbow

This lush, melodic band work uses a shifting kaleidoscope of sounds to convey a sense of calm and serenity, always staying within reasonable ranges and achievable  technique. The inspiration for this work comes from the relief at the end of a summer day as the sun disappears and the evening breezes bathe the landscape. Enhance your students' musicianship as they embrace this lyrical style.

In the Cool of Evening

Three familiar hymn tunes create a powerful work of rich and powerful musical moments. The opening fanfare leads into a mixed-meter setting of All Creatures of Our God and King. Next, The Old 100th is heard in the middle instruments, the horns and saxes. Finally, the melody to Thomas Tallis' Canon is heard in the chimes, followed by an extended crescendo into a full ensemble chorale setting.

All Creatures

The energy and allure of Miami, Florida is captured here in this exceptional concert march for young band. After presenting the primary four-note motif in the introduction, the opening melody is stated in its entirety in unison woodwinds. A second, more lyrical melody is later presented in low voices. The march continues to gain energy and excitement as it builds through a modulation up a step and various textures to a very exciting ending.

Magic City March

"Kinesis perpetuum" translates to "perpetual motion." It's an exciting concert opener for young band that's aptly named. Syncopated rhythms, tone clusters, flowing motives, and shifting key centers give the piece a profound sense of forward motion throughout. This growing excitement builds through to the brilliant closing fanfare.

Kinesis Perpetuum

The Race Against Time is a loosely programmatic work depicting the hectic and fast-paced nature of life in the 21st century. In this highly original and well-crafted work, you will hear moments of stress, ambition, determination, willpower, burnout, breakthrough, and accomplishment in a cycle that modern life takes us through constantly. Many of the sections in this piece are short-lived, mirroring the ephemeral nature of each stage in the cycle. This piece ultimately serves as a reminder to sometimes stop "running the race", and to find a healthy balance between working hard and enjoying life.

The Race Against Time

This mostly up-tempo overture in ABA form captures the essence of the American West. Brass and percussion dominate the sound palette, including solo trumpet moments and soaring horn lines as well as thunderous timpani solos that evoke the sound of cattle drives. The contrasting slower middle section adds richness and beauty to the overture. Perfect as a concert opener or feature number.
