"Shanty Silhouettes" is the third installment of band compositions based on the 18th and 19th Century whaling or shanty tunes.  A solo flute and trumpet trio commence with "Blow The Wind Southerly." Next, clarinets and percussion march on to "Whaling in Greenland" and "Captain Ward The Pirate". The finale, "Bonnie Laddie," driven by the low brass, percussion and scampering woodwind scales  leads to a concluding brass chorale.

Concert Band Score & Parts

Although often maligned, band transcriptions can bring beautiful and exciting compositions, even neglected or unknown, to contemporary musicians and audiences.

Absalon fili mi

Haydn was the most unpredictable composer who ever lived. One never knows what to expect next from him.  In the midst of his many intense and dramatic works, he would pen the funniest piece of symphonic music ever written, his Symphony no. 60 "Il Distratto" (The Distracted or Absent-Minded).

Where Have You Been Haydn?

Although few of us will ever perform a complete Mahler symphony, every band musician can (now) experience and perform the overwhelming conclusion of the Resurrection Symphony.

The Great Call from Symphony No.2

Continuing a series of compositions based on 18th and 19th century whaling or shanty tunes, "Sail Away"   presents a musical voyage through various time signatures and tempos, B-flat and F (major and minor) key changes,  plus flute, oboe, clarinet and trumpet solos, and limited divisi passages.  So, the sails are set, the anchors a-weigh.   Sail Away!

Sail Away

Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625), a leading composer of English keyboard and church music, inspired by short, simple song like melodies, created elaborate virtuosic variations. This arrangement combines these elements into a Gibbons' suite for Concert Band.

Suite Gibbons

Unveil the majesty of "Consecration of the House" in this riveting arrangement by J.R. Eastman. Perfect for Concert &amp; Contest settings, this piece beautifully melds Beethoven's classical brilliance with Eastman's contemporary flair, offering ensembles a dynamic and enriching performance experience that resonates with audiences. - Note: This music is composed by humans.

Consecration of the House

"Wiedersehen" is the third and final installment of Immortal Beethoven, joining My Score arrangements of "Consecration of the House" and "String Quartet No. 16 (III)."

Immortal Beethoven

Although G. F. Handel (1685-1759), son of a barber/surgeon(!), grew up in a non-musical family, his natural musical talents propelled him to international fame, not only in his own lifetime, but into the 21st century. Handel's Messiah, Water Music, and Royal Fireworks Music remain concert hall favorites.

Going Baroque

As a prelude or interlude at your next holiday concert, off stage solo flute and trumpet preface and close this arrangement of two iconic Christmas chorales.

How Brightly Shines The Morning Star Over David's Royal City

<p>An old 1950 LP recording "Sea Shanties" sung by the renowned American opera singer, Leonard Warren, was the inspiration for these compositions. In a cruel twist of fate, Warren collapsed and died on stage at the Metropolitan Opera house, having just sung Morir, tremenda cosa (To die, a momentous thing) from Verdi's "La forza del destino."</p>

Summons, Spirits & Signals

A well known tale set to music by an obscure Italian composer (G.Carissimi 1603-1674) and arranged for concert band.  Prelude &amp; Storm, Jonah's Lament (oboe solo), Redemption and a guest appearance by la balena.

Jonas e la balena

Written in 1970 for the University of Minnesota, Duluth  Concert Band (James R. Murphy - conductor), Overture No.2 has been revised and updated for MyScore.

Overture for Band No.2

Although Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625), a leading English vocal and instrumental composer, did not write for the modern concert band,  perhaps, this arrangement of his keyboard pieces will provide a tantalizing, all be it wishful, glimpse.

A Gibbons Portrait

Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767), a contemporary of Bach, Handel and Vivaldi, composed an enormous amount of music, including 40 operas and 600 overtures.

Still Baroque

That would be Johann Michael Haydn, brother of Franz J.Haydn, teacher of Diabelli, Weber and an important influence on Mozart and Schubert

Haydn, Go Seek!

String Quartet No. 16, Opus 135, Mvt. III

"Shanty Scenes" is the second part of a series of band compositions based on 18th and 19th Century whaling, or shanty, tunes. After a festive opening, "Cape Cod Girls", our musical voyage pauses at a bustling port, "A Rovin" continues through the calm latitudes, stops at  majestic capitals and is swept to a storm tossed conclusion. "Shanty Scenes" provides an extended alla breve experience for the intermediate ensemble.
