Serenity Now

Jazz Ensemble Score & Parts

Inspired by the time that Gershwin spent in Paris, this jazz-influenced symphonic poem (or tone poem) evokes the sights and energy of the postwar French capital during the Années folles, the "crazy times" of the 1920s. Originally set for the standard instruments of the symphony orchestra plus celesta, saxophones, and automobile horns, this setting for symphonic band has been skillfully arranged and orchestrated to capture the original Gershwin creation and make it performable by today's symphonic bands.

An American in Paris

Concert Band Score & Parts

An Irving Berlin extravaganza comprising Alexander's Ragtime Band (1911), an enormous hit selling a million copies in its first year; Always (1925), composed as a wedding gift to his wife Ellin McKay; What'll I Do? (1923), a chart-topper covered by numerous artists; and Blue Skies, finished overnight in December 1926 for the Broadway show "Betsy" and later used in many landmark films.

Irving Berlin

One of Karl King's most popular marches; excerpts of this march are commonly used in auditions for euphoniums and baritone horns auditioning for a spot in a military band, a university band, brass bands, and city and state ensembles. King originally released this march in 1910, his first year as a circus musician.

Melody Shop

This original contemporary march will add a fresh new approach to opening any concert or program. From its percussion section opening to its varied section and ensemble work and right through its melodic trio section, it brings a variety of sounds to your developing ensemble. If you're looking for a march with an opportunity to teach your young musicians, this is it!

Heatwave

This medley contains four classic works by this exceptional American composer and songwriter. Rhapsody in Blue; Fascinating Rhythm; The Man I Love and Somebody to Love are all masterfully arranged to effectively highlight each of the featured works. A welcome addition to the pop repertoire for concert bands.

American Curtain Time

A fresh and exciting work that will serve as an ideal opener for any concert. Sounding like a Hollywood blockbuster right out of the gate, the cinematographic scoring gives the listener and an indication of the exciting material to follow. Hightlighted by full orchestration throughout, it makes a profound musical statement that is sure to find a programming slot in your upcoming concerts.

Celebration for Winds and Percussion

Composed in 1885 by a gifted young cornetist and bandmaster, this is one of the most enduring circus marches, or "screamers." The quick tempo and pounding rhythms evoke the chaos and thundering hooves of four-footed animals running into a circus arena instead of the steady, regimented pulse of men marching. Presumably, the title refers to minor and major modes, hence the "storms" and the "sunshine."

In Storm and Sunshine

This Ellington-style ballad is what big band music is all about. It features a wide array of potential solos with featured solo parts included for alto sax, tenor sax, flugelhorn, bass trombone, and guitar. All at about 76 bpm, it features a straight eighth feel with a brief contrasting section in swing style. Optional parts are included for flute, clarinet, horn in F and tuba. An exceptional way to feature any or all of your soloists!

Before the Lights Go Out

Written in two styles: the first half in a lyrical legato style; everyone gets a chance to play the melody at least once during the dramatic opening section. The allegro marks a change in both style and tempo, vibrant and upbeat. Great for teaching the importance of dynamic markings for a more emotional performance.

Vicennial

Doris Eaton Travis introduced this classic song on Broadway in "The Hollywood Music Box Revue" in 1929. It was widely popularized by Cliff Edwards and the Brox Sisters, and many other artists had hits with this tune. In 1952 it was featured in the classic Gene Kelly motion picture version called, not surprisingly, "Singin' in the Rain." This arrangement was created with optional flute or clarinet to replace first alto or first tenor parts if you wish to use those instruments to vary your ensemble or to feature additional players.

Singin' in the Rain

This tune is written in the style of a cha-cha. It has an open solo section to give all of your students an opportunity for improvisation along with some great ensemble playing. The piece builds into an exciting ending. Add this approachable Latin chart to your library!

This setting for developing concert band opens with a clarinet cadenza that may be played as written or may become an ad-lib solo. The lovely melody is then taken through rich development and restatements that work their way from section to section while exploring various tempo, meter, and texture changes. A work rich in musical and educational value.
