Concert Band Score & Parts

This traditional tune is an excellent vehicle to teach legato articulation and phrasing to your beginning band. It begins with the upper woodwinds gradually breaking into harmony. The middle section features a small solo group leading to a dramatic climax by the full ensemble contrasted with a solo instrument (your choice of flute, clarinet, alto sax, or trumpet).

Londonderry Air

Highlight your woodwinds while giving your concert an air of sophistication! A wonderful classical experience for your beginning band! A great way to process your principal (or other esteemed leader ) into an important assembly!

Here it is: the recycling anthem of the decade! Use either the honky-tonk-style piano or the concert band accompaniment, and this basic blues number will attract attention far and wide. "Reduce, reuse and recycle...use less paper, please. We'll save a thousand trees, then we can go to the park and feel the gentle breeze...reduce, reuse and recycle..." This is so simple, with such an important environmental message, it is a must for your music program - and your entire school and community!

The Recycling Song

Unison Octavo

Your audience is going to love what happens to Beethoven's famous Ode to Joy theme when it gets tangled up with the  familiar rock riff!  It starts out serious and dignified, but we all know band students can only do that for so long before they want to get things rockin'!  This piece is pure fun and feels so natural to play, it's a strong choice for concerts where you combine your more experienced performers with beginners.

Ode to Louie

Everyone knows Pachelbel's famous Canon, but you've never heard it like this!  After 16 bars of the traditional version, a bright samba groove takes over, based on the familiar tune.  It's amazing how nicely this works.  Not only can you teach style differences, but the eighth note syncopation in the samba reinforces important rhythmic concepts, too.

Pachelbel's Samba

Looking for a great feature for your beginners in the holiday concert? This quick romp in ABA form will sparkle in any season! Guaranteed to involve all your first-year players yet challenge your more advanced elementary players!

March from the Nutcracker

The newest superheros (your band) are in town -- antagonized by everyone's archenemy --the evil percussion section! After powerful statements from both the winds and percussion, a heroic theme ensues. The "heroine" (clarinets) and "hero" (Trumpet solo) are eventually confronted by the villainous percussion section. A wonderful challenge for your drummers!

Superhero Strut

This original march delivers that wonderful Sousa style that fits your band like a glove.  This one is very logical, with all the parts fitting together seamlessly.  It's just the thing to get young players ready for all the traditional marches coming their way down the road.

A Little Sousa for Yousa

This 5/4 feature will grab your students' and audience's attention with an ostinato body beat performed by the entire band! Multiple percussion parts will keep everyone "on their toes". It features a total percussion section including your wind players as they accompany with body beats! Think Malaguena meets STOMP!

Live-N-Five

Big Band meets Bebop in this swinger! Written for an energetic 72-year-old custodian in my school who loves to jitterbug! All solos are written out; challenging yet very playable with a "shout chorus" closer!

Tony's Bounce

Fast, furious, and FUN! Your students will kick up their heels when they see this in their band folder! Beginner parts are based on only four notes and do not exceed quarter note rhythm. Play at allegro or vivace to have the Cossacks dancing in the aisles!

Trepak

Introduce some of the great melodies of this piece to your young and developing bands -- percussion parts add dynamics and rhythmic interest to the beautiful classic. Use the unison Pachelbel's Challenge" to ignite some friendly competition among your best players!

Pachelbel's Canon

This is perfect as a concert opener! Some of your best beginners will be able to play the advanced parts. Includes optional trills that your experienced students will love! I use this every year for fifth grade promotions and graduations -- it's easy, flexible, and sounds great!

Trumpet Voluntary

This well-crafted piece cleverly blends the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine service hymns with America, the Beautiful. It snaps back to attention with the trio from The Stars and Stripes Forever featuring the piccolo solo in the key of F. Optional string parts are available. Brilliant as a concert closer!

Stars over America

Challenge your percussion section on this arrangement as it engages your band in a musical conversation. This was written for the 2001 P.M.E.A. Intermediate Band Festival (grades 5-6).

Percussion Discussion

This is a medium funk tune that your kids will love to perform! It includes a hip rap to introduce the director and the band. Also included are written or improvised solos for your best to strut their stuff! Reminiscent of the best '70s R &amp; B horn bands.
