In 1912, Ivor Gurney composed a stunningly dark, yet beautiful work for solo voice and piano.  This work, "Sleep," with text by John Fletcher, is haunting and lush.  This wind transcription is a great addition to the repertoire and colors the emotional depth of the original.  This piece may be performed with a vocal soloist, as it lines up with the original score in Bb minor.  (Part not included).

Sleep

Concert Band Score & Parts

Written in memory of a beloved school secretary in a small school in Texas. She was a strong Christian, very patriotic, and a strong proponent of the High School Band. She herself was an All-State clarinet player - the highlighted instrument of the piece. Using two tunes, "O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus" and "My Country 'Tis of Thee," this piece for young band is a moving tribute that begins in a mournful tone that evolves into hope!

Let Music Swell the Breeze

Gustav Holst wrote one of the most hauntingly beautiful Christmas hymns of all time, "In the Bleak Midwinter."  

This stirring arrangement focuses on the beauty of the tune and the imagery of winter, hence the title, "Snow on Snow,"  which is also a line from the text. This arrangment is very playable (technique wise), but will require breath support, tone control, and intonation skill found in more complex pieces. Musicians and your audience will be moved by this powerful arrangment of "In the Bleak Midwinter."

Snow on Snow

Doppler! is a Grade 2 piece for Band based on the use of the Doppler Radar when tracking weather. Utilizing the Doppler effect throughout, this piece is an exciting journey through a storm!

Doppler!

This arrangment of Stephen Foster's classic song, "Hard Times Come Again No More," paints a beautiful picture focusing on the text of the work.  This is a cry for unity and for good-will towards one another.  The piece begins with a Bass Clarinet solo (but may be exchanged for any Bb instrument) and slowly unfolds into a harmonically rich chorale culminating in a triumphant climax with the words, "'tis a song, a sigh of the weary:  hard times, hard times, come again no more."

A Sigh of the Weary

If you've ever had a group of friends who pick on each other, chances are you've been on a "Snipe Hunt."  While for the purpose of the prank, "snipes" do not exist - making the prank that much funnier - snipes are really funny looking birds with long narrow beaks.  

I have attempted to emulate these creatures (the imaginary ones or the real bird) and their playfulness in this beginning band march!  Using only the first six notes of most beginning band methods (plus a few chromatic notes), this piece is extremely playable by beginning or younger bands.  I'm calling it a grade 0.75 due to some of the technique required plus the added chromatic scales.  Let this piece be your students' introduction into marches!

I hope your students enjoy, "March of the Snipes!"

March of the Snipes

Take a trip down the Chisholm Trail with this new young band march! This march notably does not lower in the trio due to the implied Bb Major of the second strain - making this a very playable march.  The trio of this march is based off of the old cowboy song "On the Chisholm Trail."

Chisholm Trail March

AMAZING FANFARE is the perfect piece for your first year students or younger JH/MS Bands!  An exciting fanfare from the beginning to the end!

Amazing Fanfare

A wind band transcription of the famous Arthur Sullivan art song, "The Lost Chord."  This powerful arrangment is extremely playable and pays homage to the beauty of the original work for voice and piano.  In the key of Eb Major, this may be performed with a vocal soloist as well (part not included).

The Lost Chord

A fun twist on an original reel tune built on the pentatonic scale!  This "Grainger-esque" piece is a blast from beginning to end!  Performers and audiences alike will leave humming this tune.

Southern Reel

Our dreams and goals often feel distant, just beyond our reach, like the horizon stretching endlessly before us. Yet, the pursuit itself is what gives life meaning. No matter how far away our aspirations may seem, we must never stop striving toward them.

Chasing the Horizon draws inspiration from that relentless pursuit. The horizon symbolizes our dreams — always visible, yet forever out of reach. But the act of chasing it is a journey fueled by passion, drive, reflection, and unwavering determination. This piece captures that journey, urging us to keep moving forward, no matter how elusive our dreams may seem.

Chasing the Horizon

Someone has a new job working the graveyard shift at the graveyard!

As the night progresses, the skeletons and ghouls awake and have a party!  Sunrise begins to arrive, and all the creatures return to their slumber - while our just the night of their lives!

The Graveyard Shift

We have so much to be thankful in this existence we call life. One thing that I am most thankful for, is the amount of people who have poured into me both as a human and a musician.

Those who have been so influential in my life - both those I have met and those who I have not had the privilege.

This piece is inspired by the Band Music that I grew up with - Ed Huckeby, Robert W. Smith, Randall Standridge, and Brian Balmages. These are the composers that made me want to write!

Overture Inspiratio

Four Folk Dances is a short suite consisting of four folk dances from four different countries.  The movements are:
1. Tango (Argentina )
2. Valse (Austria )
3. Tarantella (Italy )
4. Jig (Ireland )

Each movements is just over a minute long and in strict ABA' style - which lends itself well to teach your students about each country and form in music. The last two movements contain familiar folk songs to give it some added spice.

Four Folk Dances

An epic piece for younger bands - this piece contrasts throughout, symbolizing the struggle between Fire and Ice.  Lots of percussion engagement and cool colors emerge from this one!

This is a hit amongst Honor Band students!

Of Fire and Ice

A Fanfare on "In Dulci Jubilo," commonly known as "Good Christian Men, Rejoice!" Ring in the Christmas Spirit with this exciting opener - written in 7/8 for and exciting twist on this familiar carol!

In Dulci Jubilo

"When Summer Sings" began as an inspiration from the new movie, Maestro. As I watched the film, I was reminded of Bernstein's internal struggles of wanting to be a performer, a composer, or a conductor. He never felt he could do all three.

I have often struggled with this as well (imposter syndrome is real!), but obviously not to his same caliber. The piece began to take form as a sort of self-portrait - a longing for all things musical. I still struggle with not measuring up as a director, or as a composer, or as a performer, but every day and becoming comfortable and proud of the musician that I am. I hope you will enjoy - "When Summer Sings."

"If summer doesn't sing in you then nothing sings in you. And if nothing sings in you, then you can't make music."

When Summer Sings

This piece is a perfect one for your beginners!  Utilizing only the first six notes of most beginning method books, this piece highlights your low brass at the beginning - yay melody!  Works as an opener or a closer for a first concert!

Ft. Cobb Overture

Sometimes in life, we get the chance to just walk through nature enjoying the sights and the sounds. As our journey in life continues, sometimes a fork in the road appears. We must always make a decision of which path to take - and hopefully we decide to take the road not traveled.  And that will make "All the Difference."

This charming Grade 1 piece is a ear-worm from beginning to end.  Students can also begin discussion about when life has given them a fork in the road and which path they took (or should have taken!).

All the Difference

A short essay for winds dedicated in memory and adoration to the late, great Stephen Sondheim.  The piece is an exploration of texture and colors featuring piano and string bass as well as the traditional wind instruments. A moving piece dedicated to one of the greatest American composers.
