Chorale for Band is lush, beautiful piece that works on blending, dynamics and, most of all, balance! While the parts for percussion are relatively small, the opportunities for the winds are terrific! The piece begins in the key of F, but modulates to D major. Do not let that scare you, though...it is not for long, and the rhythms are simple, so the students can work on the actual notes. Just gorgeous!

Chorale for Band

Concert Band Part

Power of the Redstone is dramatic, exciting, and, most of all, it is fun to play! A sure favorite of anyone in your band who enjoys the Minecraft games, now or in the past, they will certainly be able to tell you all about the abilities of Redstone within the game. While I have written the piece in g minor, I have thrown in some diminished 7 chords and added some v chords for extraordinary sounds and novelty that students are sure to latch on to and enjoy. Limited ranges also add to the fun.

Power of the Redstone

Based upon the heroic men and women of the armed forces, this piece tells the story of "Operation Magic Carpet," an effort to bring home soldiers and citizens back to the United States after WW2. Your students will work on all sorts of things: syncopations, triplets (eighth note and quarter note), eight and two sixteenth (or two sixteenth and an eighth) combinations and more! Another great piece from Amy Webb, each band student gets an interesting part and something awesome to contribute to the sound!

Force of Reckoning

Concert Band Score & Parts

The road from beginning band student to accomplished musician can be an arduous one…and only the strongest prevail, as the students begin… The Quest.
A new work by emerging composer Amy Webb, this work focuses on the concepts of divisi, tutti, articulation and dynamic contrast in a way that is driving and powerful! A quest is a process; sometimes difficult, sometimes amusing, and always worth pursuing!

The Quest

"Chanoyu" is a Japanese word that means "the way of tea," or "tea ceremony." In Japanese culture, the ceremonial art of preparing and drinking green tea (matcha) is practiced by sitting on the tatami (a floor mat) and using elegant hand gestures while they prepare the drink.  This piece is meant to tell the story of a tea ceremony process by using simple chords, stepwise motion and slow, graceful playing with musicality and balance.  An excellent piece for your first and second year band members1

Chanoyu

Punta del Este is a tango with a pseudo-Calypso-Pop beat thrown in, just  to spice things up! The piece is named for an actual tourist destination in  Uruguay. The beautiful area, which technically means East Point has many  interesting museums, and an intriguing sculpture called La Mano de Punta del  Este, which is quite literally a hand reaching out of the sand. Your students  will love it.

Punta del Este

<p>Celebrate the United States with this powerful work for concert band guaranteed to stand out from the rest! While it's written in the key of concert A-flat, the rhythms aren't hard and the band will sound terrific right away. This piece would be a terrific concert opener for any performance.</p>

The Star-Spangled Banner

A piece  based upon the ups and downs of playing online and PC video games. In video gaming-speak, an achievement (also sometimes known as a trophy, badge, award, stamp, medal or challenge) is a meta-goal defined outside of a game's parameters. Some people enjoy playing the games just to unlock these achievements.  In the band world, an unlocked achievement could be learning dynamics, or 16th note runs, or anything that presents a challenge to the player. Can your band beat the game?

Achievement Unlocked!

This beautiful, calm hymn arranged for concert band will bring out your
  bands balance, tonality and blend and is sure to impress your audiences at
  your next concert.

I Will Sing of the Mercies of the Lord

Mr. Larry Hall was a man whose kindness knew no bounds. An instrument repairman, he made a living serving many schools in northern Maine. When the composer was an elementary student, Larry saved the day by repairing his broken clarinet reed before band class, charging only a quarter, since that is all the student had. This grade 2.5 piece is dedicated to the memory of Larry and all the kids he helped in northern Maine and the entire state. The trumpet solo early in the piece is a special tribute, as Larry was a first class trumpet player.

Love Lives On

Celebrate the famous Terracotta Warriors of Xi'an with this bold, intense work for concert band by Amy Webb.  Created during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China, these warriors are a form of funerary art buried with the emperor with the purpose of protecting him in his afterlife. Pulsing rhythms, a gorgeous piccolo solo and an "earworm" melody will help your students sound bigger than they really are, just like the famous warriors!

Terra Cotta Warriors

Show your band the possibilities that come from dedication and hard work with this incredible piece by Amy Webb! This piece is a review of everything students have worked on for the last year and a half and change -- articulations, expressive playing, some over-the-break work for first clarinet (but not too much), key changes and more. It will be a piece that works well as a concert opener or a contest piece. Give it a listen today!

Awaken!

Alto this World features the percussion section and also, the alto saxes. Written in a swing style, this piece works on articulation (namely tenuto, staccato, slurs and tonguing) and also playing eighth notes in the above-mentioned swing style). Because the snare part is written for the rim, it feels as if perhaps a tap dancer is accompanying your band in a fun, not-too hard, but not too easy rhythm that students will want to play every day.

Alto this World

A celebration of one of the world's most "meme-able" pets, the loveable cat! Your star trombone player is going to have a field day playing the part of the annoying feline patrolling the area just outside the sleeper's bedroom window in this fun piece by Amy Webb! Articulations, chromatics and enharmonics are stressed, as well as swing-style music. Try not to laugh as the sounds of glissandos and duck calls permeate the room.

Those Crazy Cats!

Enjoy a musical rendition of the battle between Chronos, the God of Time and Zeus, his son. In Greek mythology, Chronos was considered to be the god of time. 
This piece tries to show, musically, the passage of time, using eighth note rhythms, the ticking of a clock in the woodblock, and an overall intensity sure to bring out the best in your students.

Chronos

“Let’s Get Quackin,” is a piece that challenges beginners on all fronts in a fun way, with the occasional duck call coming from the percussion section.

There are no accidentals and most instruments use only the first six notes of the scale, with a couple going to the low 7th. Whole, dotted half, quarter and eighth notes rule the day for all instrumentalists. Simple dynamics (forte, mezzo piano and fortissimo) are utilized as are simple staccato and slurring passages. With a catchy rhythm and memorable playing lines, students will get right this piece away and sound great.

Let's Get Quackin'

A bright, sunny march that celebrates the state of Kansas, Sunflower March is a chipper tune that will engage your band members and audiences every time it is played! Give this piece a listen today.

Sunflower March
