Summer Suite Movement 1 - for Clarinet Ensemble

Beginning with a quote from "Drunken Sailor," and ending with
  an option horn visual and shouting "Yo heave ho," this marching
  band arrangement of Santiana is a fun, exciting way to open your sea shanty
  themed marching band show. Part 2 contains "Leave Her Johnny" and
  "South Australia." Part 3, "Pirate Attack," features the
  percussion section and is original material reminiscent of certain
  pirate-themed movies. Part 4 closes with "Drunken Sailor" and
  "The Wellerman." A baritone treble clef part is included in the
  sheet music. Watch the YouTube video for full score and recording.

Santiana

The definition of Catharsis is:1) A purification or purgation of the
  emotions (such as pity and fear) primarily through the arts. 2) A
  purification or purgation that brings about spiritual renewal or release from
  tension. This piece for woodwind ensemble attempts to musically represent the
  experience of an emotional catharsis. The negative emotions are represented
  by a sinister fanfare and several reoccurring themes that are manipulated
  throughout the first half of the piece using elements of Romantic, Jazz, and
  film score music. In the middle section of the piece, new themes are
  introduced as the music gradually evolves toward a major key tonality. Even
  then, fragments of the negative themes are played alongside these new ones,
  as these sorts of emotions still leave their mark even when purged for a
  time. Eventually, the struggle is over as the piece reaches a triumphant
  ending that re-states the beginning fanfare in a major tonality and brings
  the piece to a close. An optional E-flat Contra Alto Clarinet part is
  included to be used in place of the B-flat Contrabass Clarinet part if
  needed.

  marching band show.

Wellerman/Drunken Sailor

Your percussion ensemble and audience will appreciate this extremely  catchy and unique musical homage to big-city nightlife.a Elements of jazz, pop, and rock are woven  throughout the piece, with solo and soli sections featuring the mallets.a Your more advanced percussionists will be  challenged on the mallet parts, while easier auxiliary parts will give your  newer players a chance to be a part of the ensemble as well.                NOTE: The bass guitar part works equally well on keyboard synthesizer for  those groups who do not have a bassist.a  All grace notes in the mallet parts should be played slightly before  the beat, taking no time away from the actual note following the grace note.
