Parts

Latin for Strength and Courage. 
  This piece is a great Grade 2 for flex band, very upbeat, and with
  many teaching moments.  The piece is
  almost a fanfare, but more lyrical.  It
  is written for 5 parts and percussion, with many percussion parts for the
  bigger sections.  It is a simple
  statement of the strength and courage we all need during this time of
  uncertainty, and an uplifting piece for students and listeners alike.  Clarinet parts 2 and 3 never go over the
  break. Your students will love learning the concepts and playing this piece
  even if learning is distanced.

Aminosque

Flexible Instrumentation Part

The classic Trio from Edward Elgar's March No. 1 in D, this Flex Band
  arrangement will serve you and your students well for any graduation ceremony
  that you need to play for.  Written in
  5 parts, percussion, and optional piano to fill out voicings, the piece is
  also written with optional octaves for key parts so even players with not
  much experience can still play the melody line if needed.

Pomp and Circumstance

Commissioned by Steve Westfall and Adams Middle School in Prestonsburg, KY, this is a setting of Steven Foster's "My Old Kentucky Home" for Flex Ensemble.  This is designed for a middle school group or small high school group with flexible instrumentation, optional (and flexible) percussion parts, and a bass line that can be played by any bass clef instrument.  Melodies are set with the higher pitched instruments, and the lower pitched instruments with chords and harmony.  Any percussion part may be omitted as needed. Mallets may be played on 1 or 2 mallets, or one on each part.  This can be performed with as little as 3 or 4 students as a chamber group as well.

My Old Kentucky Home

A traditional setting of Away in a Manger, for a small concert band.  This has been orchestrated so that if there
  are missing parts, the song will still retain everything needed for a
  successful performance!  Parts are
  doubled, some parts are used for ornamentation of the melody, but the chords
  and the melody are still there for small bands that need accommodation.  This piece is dear to my heart, as my
  Mother would sing this to me as a child to help me sleep.  The gentle melody and chords have always
  been in my heart because of my Mother, and this piece is dedicated to her.

Up On The Housetop

Even in the Bleak of Midwinter, we still have reason to celebrate.  Even though the cold persists, the snow
  covers, and the ice is plenty, we still celebrate.  This is a twist on Gustav Holst's musical
  interpretation of Christina Rossetti's poem "A Christmas Carol" to
  remind us all that even in the bleakest of winters, we still have reason to
  celebrate.  We celebrate family and friends,
  and for those that believe, the birth of our Jesus Christ. This is written in
  a flex band format for easy access to all bands of all instrumentation, and
  at a level that can be worked up in a limited amount of time.  I hope you all enjoy this reimagining of
  Holst's beautiful hymn for Flex Ensemble!

In The Bleak Midwinter

Jolly Old St. Nick

Cats, everywhere. Flex band has never been so fun! This beginner flex
  band piece will have your students climbing the curtains!  Focusing on eighth notes, staccatos, a few
  accidentals, and a chromatic exercise in the mallets, this piece is great for
  not only learning some new skills but really helping students break out of
  their shells!  Parts for the students
  to make "random cat noises", meowing, and have fun while learning
  new concepts will be sure to be a hit for your first-year students. Lower
  parts do not have accidentals for students that are learning at a different
  pace.  Such a fun piece!

CATaclysm

Flexible Instrumentation Score & Parts Flex Band

This is a great "teaching" piece for middle school or small
  high school ensemble, depicting the wonders of our vast unknown space that
  surrounds us. This piece is designed with easy rhythms, with an introduction
  to some dissonant harmonies that your students will enjoy learning how to
  hear and play. The piece is also designed to be a great intro to
  "epic" style pieces that are popular in action and adventure
  movies. The piece is written in Flex Band style, with 5 parts that multiple instruments
  can play.  There are many percussion
  parts available, including chimes, 2 cymbal parts, a very involved timpani
  part, snare, and concert bass. Clarinets 2 and 3 are under the break, perfect
  for less experienced players. I had a wonderful time composing this piece,
  and I hope your students will have as just as a wonderful time learning with
  this piece and playing it as I did writing it!

The Stars, The Moon, and The Heavens

This is for Flex-Concert Band, grade 2.5-3.  Hero's run is designed to be a flexible
  choice for directors with uneven instrumentation.  Parts are divided into 5 different parts, with
  multiple instruments supporting each part. 
  This piece really moves from start to finish while chronicling the
  Hero's Run from peril.  Percussion
  parts are very active, while wind parts are appropriately written for this
  grade.  Clarinets 2 and 3 are below the
  break.

Hero's Run

Concert Band Score & Parts Flex Band

Written for the East River Mountain Town Band of Bluefield, WV, Prayers
  of Concord is a work that implores concord, or unity, for us all. Our country
  has seen a divide over many issues, and notwithstanding the current pandemic
  that separates us from our loved ones. This piece, with melody and
  countermelody and thick harmony, conveys the need to come together in this
  turbulent time in concord, to make things better for the future.  A simple 3 note melody is expanded upon and
  explored by the ensemble, culminating in the ensemble coming together at the
  end for a celebratory statement of concord. 
  This piece is also dedicated to the memory of Lee Courts, former bass
  clarinet player and MC for the East Mountain Town Band, who lost his life in
  a fight with Covid-19. Lee was a wonderful and kind person, an example for us
  all in a time when Concord is so greatly needed.

Prayers of Concord

A feeling of calmness; a quiet and undisturbed feeling.  This work for concert band is part of a
  larger work from composer Jason Bailey called "The Hawkeye", which
  follows the adventures of the crew of the Spaceship Hawkeye through space and
  time.  The crew land on an unnamed
  planet full of lush life, many creatures, and blue waters flowing through
  what seems like an endless rainforest. 
  After spending weeks studying this planet, Capt. Hugh George decides
  to call this planet Placidity. This movement conveys the various waterfalls,
  seemingly endless miles of rainforest, and natural beauty that could only be
  imagined or seen in remote areas of their home planet.  Many peaks and valleys are conveyed in the
  piece, ending with the discovery of a mountain waterfall that could only be
  described as "proof of a higher power at work to create such
  beauty".

Placidity, The Oasis Planet

Intense.  5 Part Flex.  Intense. 
  Did I say this was an intense piece? 
  Follow the Chariot through an intense battle and race through the
  coliseum that includes a great study in triplets, style, blend, and
  recognizing melody elements. Written with cinematic elements in mind, Chariot
  will engage your students with awesome intensity and plenty of parts for
  everyone including percussion.  This is
  written with high school groups in mind, however, an advanced middle school
  could very easily pull this piece off.

Chariot

Ensemble

Little Stony Falls in Southwest VA is one of our most beloved landmarks.  Located in Scott County VA near the small town of Dungannon, Little Stony Falls are 2 waterfalls measuring 8 and 24 feet are along the 4 mile trail through a gorge in the mountains.  This Tuba/Euphonium Fanfare aims to represent the stoic hidden area with a simple fanfare, heralding the majesty of the natural landmark.  An opener-type piece, this is for groups of advanced middle school students and high school students alike.  I hope your students enjoy this simple fanfare for a simple place in nature and all its glory!

Little Stony Fanfare

2 Baritones, 2 Tubas Ensemble

Movement 1: Powell Valley
    
    
    
    Named for Ambrose Powell, who was part of the exploration party headed by
  Dr. Thomas Walker, Powell Valley is one of the most picturesque locations in
  Southwest Virginia.  Setting between
  Powell Mountain and Little Stone Mountain, Powell Valley is one of our most
  cherished locations due to its beauty and views of the surrounding
  mountains.  This movement simply pays
  tribute to the mountains surrounding the area with quotes from the Carter
  Family song, My Clinch Mountain Home. 
  The beginning is a celebration of life, transitioning into Sunday
  morning church and finally an intense tribute to the Valley itself.  
    
    
    
    Movement 2: The Clinch River
    
    
    
    Beginning around Tazwell, VA, the Clinch River has been an important part
  of our growth in the area, as well as providing the first settlers of the
  area with transportation and fishing. 
  The river travels 335 miles through Tazwell, Russell, Wise, Scott, and
  Lee Counties before crossing the state line into Tennessee and depositing in
  Norris Lake.  This movement follows the
  river from its humble beginnings in Tazwell, through the rapids and rougher
  waters of Scott and Lee County, and finally, its triumphant merging with the
  Powell River and Norris Lakes.  Hints
  of iDown To The River To Prayi can be heard throughout the movement,
  staking its claim as a place of baptism, referring to the ibaptism spoti
  found on River Road in Castlewood, VA.
    
    
    
    Movement 3: High Knob, VA
    
    
    
    High Knob is the highest point in Southwest Virginia, rising above the
  valley that is home to Norton, VA, and the composeris home and current
  town.  Rising 4,222 ft above sea level,
  on a clear day one can observe Tennessee, West Virginia, North, and even
  South Carolina at the fire tower at the peak above Norton.  A festival is held each year at High Knob
  Lake, celebrating our musical heritage of bluegrass.  This movement looks to celebrate that
  festival with several tunes from the Carter Family, including The Sunny Side
  of Life and Will the Circle Be Unbroken, culminating in a gathering of
  worship to the song, The Sweet By And By. 
  Recursions of the theme of worship are prominent in all 3 movements,
  echoing the strong religious feelings of our area.

A Southwest Virginia Portrait

Written in memory of Don Knox, former Band Director of the Galax High School Band from Galax, VA, this tune was one of his favorites.  I was given the honor to arrange this piece by Richard Galyean, Director of Bands of the University of Virginia at Wise and former student of Mr. Knox.  This piece is a memory, a dream, and a reflection on one of our American Classics.  The 6/4 time signature gives a displaced feeling, or a dream, of reflecting on one of our nations greatest struggles and growing pains.  A trio of bassoon, tuba, and bass clarinet invoke hunting memories of the soldiers that gave their lives for what they believed in.  A dream like sequence occurs of the main theme, transitioning through all the instruments and eventually into individual solos.  After a brief build, the main theme takes over in great clarity, and then fades away like a dream as the solo clarinet takes us back to reality.  This piece is targeted toward mature high school groups and college groups alike.

Fanfare and Reflection on Battle Hymn of the Republic

Instrument Type

The sneakiest of cats. This fun clarinet choir piece is great for high
  school clarinet players with an alternate bassoon part as well. Very
  self-explanatory, Sneaky Cat follows a cat home alone exploring the house,
  getting into trouble and mischief. Elements of jazz give this piece a fun
  ending as well.

Sneaky Cat

Clarinet Ensemble

This is a Clarinet Choir piece for high school or college clarinet choir.
  The Village of Nosufre is a village where there is no suffering, no disease,
  and no death. This piece was written for the many who have passed due to an
  incurable ailment. The piece is in 3 movements, highlighting the village's
  daily activities and joy. The second movement gives thanks for no more
  suffering, and the third welcomes a new friend to the village.
