The 1927 movie Metropolis was a new sensation for film making.  It began the Sci-Fi genre for films. The musical score was also a new sensation as the premiere included a 60 piece orchestra instead of the usual organ accompaniment.  The composer was Gottfried Huppertz, a friend of the director, Fritz Lang.  Huppertz wrote scores for several of Lang's films, but his Metropolis score was the most popular.    This arrangement is scored for a full wind ensemble, including Eb clarinet, alto clarinet, 3 cornets and 2 trumpets, 2 euphoniums, and string bass. I believe the arrangement will work without some of those instruments (Eb clarinet, alto clarinet and only 1 euphonium.

Metropolis

Concert Band Score & Parts

The original work for baritone soloist, chorus and orchestra is adapted for wind ensemble as an instrumental piece.  A great work for a strong bass clarinet and euphonium player.

Fantasia on Christmas Carols

A great beginning to your classical or space inspired concert program.  In the original key of C from the 1896 orchestral version, "Sunrise" brings us the opening fanfare from the famous tone poem of Richard Strauss.  This version keeps the high notes in the woodwinds and brass so it is not for the faint of heart.  The 2 measure optional ending on the low C can be used as a bridge into another piece to create a continuous medley or a fade out.  Parts range from Easy to Medium Advanced.

Instrument Type

One of Eugene Gigout's most familiar pieces is the Grand Choeur Dialogue written for organ .  The original is for two different ranks of the organ to create the dialogue.  In this arrangement the two voices are Brass and percussion, and Organ.  A bit of a challenge in the middle section when brass and organ are playing together, otherwise pretty straight forward, and definitely playable.  Great for an organ/brass recital or evensong.

A great choice for your 4th of July or Memorial Day concert.  Any patriotic programming will benefit from this rousing arrangement which modulates through several keys.

Battle Hymn of the Republic

<p>The Melody line can be covered by a singer, but also included are parts for a Bb instrumental solo or a bass clef solo.  The tune is an old one, but the lyrics were new.  Fred E. Weatherly adapted the lyrics from a poem he had previously written to line up with the melody of Londonderry Air.  Published in 1913, the song became a huge success.  The original publication for piano and voice stated on the cover, “THIS SONG MAY BE SUNG IN PUBLIC WITHOUT FEE OR LICENSE.”   Through the years many versions, arrangements and adaptations have occurred.  Many singers have included the song in their repertoire including Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams, Sinead O’Connor, Mario Lanza, Jacqueline Marie ""Jackie"" Evancho and more.  <br /><br />This instrumental version for wind ensemble stays faithful to the original piano version.</p>

From the Opera "Sadko," this is a flowing arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakov's "Song of the Indian Guest," commonly known in America as "A Song of India."  Once widely popular and often over-played this song is making a comeback for its subtle simplicity.  Source material for this arrangement is from the original Rimsky-Korsakov score as well as the 1920 Mahew Lake adaptation.  Classical in style with an oboe solo (cued in trumpet) on the melody and optional harp part.  Brass parts are very easy.  It is sure to be a charmer in your next concert.

In the Beginning

SATB Octavo

The second movement of Suite for Clarinet is called "Love Duet" and brings us our carefree rogue (the solo clarinet) as he falls in love with a companion (solo flute) and they make beautiful music together, but, in the end, he still has to be free.  Not as technically challenging as movement one or three of the "Suite for Clarinet," but still a good romp for the clarinet.  Brass parts are minimal in this movement and quite easy.   (Solo M, Band ME-M)

Love Duet

Written for the Hillcrest Wind Ensemble by director John Winkelman, this piece introduces us to the witches by way of a fanfare with multiple meter changes.  The fanfare lasts less then a minute and the clarinets and low woodwinds take us into "Casting the Spell," a musical depiction of the witch's trials, tribulations and successes of trying to cast an effective spell.

Witch's Brew

Ensemble

Giovanni Gabrieli was one of the most influential musicians of his time.  His works represent the culmination of the style of the Venetian School which, at the time, was the shift from Renaissance to Baroque styles.  This arrangement for Brass Quintet follows the flow of the original and would work well in recital or in a church setting.

Canzon IV a 6, Ch.198

Brass Quintet

The name of the variation refers to Augustus J. Jaeger, who was a music editor at the London publisher Novello &amp; Co. Augustus was a close friend of Elgar's.  This is a nice usable arrangement of the piece.  The trumpet 1 part does go toa high Bb and the horn is up to G above the staff.

Nimrod

A fun contemporary piece to add that next recital.  Actually, easier than it sounds as the piano keeps repeating a Bb on beats one and two in every measure.  Sure to become a hit at your next recital or performance.

How Doth the Little Crocodile

Soprano Solo

A fitting requiem for the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I or for any memorial service to honor those who have fallen in battle.

In Flanders Fields

Immerse yourself in the vibrant and energetic "Dance of the Tumblers" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, thoughtfully arranged by John Winkelman.

Perfect for advanced ensembles. - Note: This music is composed by humans. No human-written product description is available, limiting search visibility.

Dance of the Tumblers

Written in 1898, the Otto Langey arrangement is the basis for this transcription. This edition, based on the Langey arrangement, has been carefully edited to be playable by the Hillcrest Wind Ensemble, a community band in San Diego California. The medley includes well known American songs and patriotic melodies - Hail Columbia, Swanee River, Dixie, Columbia the Gem of the Ocean, and  the Star Spangled Banner.  A great opener for any patriotic concert.

American Fantasie

A wonderful march from the turn of the last century.  This arrangement is taken from the original organ music from the Spreckels Organ Society as written by Dr. Humphrey Stewart. It lends itself readily to a band arrangement. Only slight adjustments to the organ sheet music were made in order to better accommodate the wind playersand, of course, percussion parts were added to compliment the march.

Processional March Montezuma

A light-hearted fantasy on the children's song Pop! Goes the Weasel presents just about all of the instruments with a go at the melody.  The pulse stays the same throughout the piece as it wends its way through the various feelings of a march, a waltz, and even a medieval trombone and euphonium statement of the theme, also a great time for percussion "toys" and effects for the "POP" in several sections.  The younger audience members will enjoy it as a familiar tune and the adults should appreciate the playfulness of the arrangement which hopefully will bring back memories of a simpler time.

Pop! Goes the Weasel

Movement three from "Suite for Clarinet and Wind Ensemble" is titled "Life Goes On" and brings us our carefree rogue (solo clarinet), once again unfettered by true love, journeying through life.  We find our friend dashing off once again, finding new trouble and a few humorous moments as life goes on.This is the third and final movement of the Suite for Clarinet. (Solo-MA, Band-MA)

Life Goes On

This arrangement stays close to the original 1916 orchestration by Sir Parry while being nicely adapted for wind ensemble.  This arrangement can be performed with a single vocalist or up to a full choir on the single line melody.  An instrumental solo featuring Trumpet, Tenor Sax, or Euphonium can be used instead of the vocal part.  A great piece to include in a classical concert or in a concert with a British theme.
