Renaissance Christmas is an arrangement of two Christmas pieces by the English Renaissance composer William Byrd. Starting with a triumphant opening in the percussion and soon followed by a solo trumpet announcing the theme of Rejoice, Rejoice. This theme continues with percussion accents until the piece slows and the beautiful O Magnum Mysterium is introduced with a brief brass chorale. The conclusion is a recap plus further material from Rejoice,Rejoice.

To The Max! is a fun, powerful piece for beginning band.  Utilizing only the first six notes taught in most beginning methods and easy rhythms, this piece in C Dorian has room for many teaching opportunities.  Lots of doubling and plenty of percussion makes this a sure bet for your beginning band.

To The Max!

Ave Regina Caelorum is an a capella motet by the late Italian Renaissance composer, Carlo Gesualdo. Gesualdo, a prince of Venosa, is infamously remembered for murdering his first wife and her lover. However, his legacy to the world of music is undeniable. While his use of chromaticism is most associated with his madrigals, his religious works, such as this, are more diatonic. When he does employ dissonance and chromaticism it has a far more dramatic effect. This setting is playable by middle school bands and can be played with limited instrumentation. 2nd clarinet parts remain below the break and 2nd trumpet parts stay in a manageable range. It provides the opportunity to both teach expressive playing and introduce the idea of chromaticism to students.

Ave Regina Caelorum

Cool King Wenceslas is a fun swing version of the classic Christmas carol.  Scored for middle school band it has plenty of teaching opportunities and challenges for all players!
