The soothing melody of this Ukrainian folk song is loved the world over. The arrangement includes a double wind orchestra, band, and combined instrumentation of orchestra and band. It doesn't require a specific number of players, so it can be played as small or large as needed. It doesn't require a solo or soli, but the conductor may choose to suit the band's strengths. When harp is absent, you can substitute piano, synthesizer, vibraphone, or other mallet percussion. All sales will go to help the essential needs of the Ukrainian people.

This work has literally been responsible for inspiring thousands of aspiring musicians to become directors of bands, orchestras, and choruses, thus fostering a lifetime of love of and respect for music.

Lincolnshire Posy

Neil A. Kjos Music Company

A creative and playful work.  Three separate themes presented individually are eventually combined together in an enjoyable and clever concert work.

Tricycle

With broad, expansive strokes, yet with great sensitivity and taste, this is a truly remarkable setting of the beautiful Holst melody. Beginning with a haunting single voice, it reaches a stunning climax before giving way to a simple restatement. This is a deeply moving, emotional work for concert band, an ideal choice for winter and holiday concerts.

In the Bleak Midwinter

FJH Music Company Inc

This impressive composition includes expressive moments that range from menacing to tender, aggressive to introspective, and capricious to heroic. The multi-meter high-speed romp in the opening allegro yields to a heartfelt lyrical adagio before returning to variations of the initial theme that culminate in a raucous conclusion. Everyone has melodic opportunities, and the percussion section will shine!

Nightride

RBC Publications

This original work brings back images of the works of Vaughan Williams and Percy Grainger.  A lyric work with thinner scoring and some short solos, it provides the quiet moment every concert needs.

A Lark's Song in the Clear Air

Apollo Studios

Tuebor is a suite of folksongs from the State of Michigan scored wonderfully well for Concert Band. The suite is part of a long tradition of folksong settings going back to Gustav Holst and Ralph Vaughan Williams. The three movements are completely playable without giving up the brilliant colors and creative scoring. It is certainly a welcome addition to the concert band repertoire.

In 1938, a young folk music collector named Alan Lomax came from Washington, DC to record Michigan’s folk music traditions for the Archive of American Folk-Song at the Library of Congress. Lomax was particularly interested in the trove of ballads remembered by aging lumberjacks and Great Lakes sailors. In ten weeks, he recorded more than 120 performers from Detroit to the western Upper Peninsula. These recordings, along with the 1950’s recordings of Duane Starcher (recorded for WMUK Radio at Western Michigan University) were rich source material for this project. TUEBOR is a three-movement suite honoring the rich agricultural, maritime, and lumbering history of the state, incorporating the melodies of numerous Michigan folk-tunes."

Autumn Light

Copyright Year

Kick off your shoes and jump in! Named after a North Texas creek, this high-stepping piece captures the rowdy frolicking in the water with friends and family. Young players will expand their harmonic vocabulary and reinforce accidentals that create interesting harmonies, all within a comfortable range. It also explores the many permutations of the eighth- and sixteenth-note combinations, as well as introduces and reinforces 7/8 time signature. (2:24)

Comegys Creek

Written in 2021. The titular elm tree is approximately 150 years old living in Toyokoro, Hokkaido, in northern Japan near Russia. It looks like one big tree on the riverbed of Tokachi River, but if you look closely, two trees are intertwined at the bottom supporting each other, and branches and leaves happily grow in all directions. The tree has seen changing seasons with the hardship of mother nature for over a century. It is now a popular dating spot.
 The work has three parts, slow-fast-slow. The opening portrays two trees snuggled up in grand, beautiful nature. The fast part is the lively buds and greenery full of vitality, enduring the hardship of rain and wind. When the music slows, one sees the grandness of the tree living there happily ever after. The grade level is 2.5. The minimum number of players is eight (seven wind and one percussion). One should present deep musical colors regardless of group size or instrumentation. The highest trumpet note is C. Brass sections don't have wide ranges. There are detailed notes here and there for woodwinds. Once the players learn the fingerings, it will not be too difficult. Percussion can be played by just one player with timpani, suspended cymbal, and wind chime. If you have more players, add percussion 2 and 3 to thicken the sound. Duration: 4:59

The Elm Tree

Within each grade level of serious concert band literature there are certain works that stand above the rest. Festivo is certainly such a work and demands a place in your library.

Festivo

Inspired by the music of Scotland, this stellar original opens with a strathspey written in a bold and majestic manner. A brief transition introduces the beautiful Scottish carol Christ Child's Lullaby before a percussion interlude gives a nod to the music of the traditional Scottish military tattoo. The work culminates in an energetic cut-time reel which brings the piece to a rousing conclusion. Incredible writing!

From Glen to Glen

Travel to the Great Lakes region of Africa with the colorful writing of this joyous work.

Written in 5/4 time, this piece provides an opportunity to challenge musicians rhythmically in a way that is fun and engaging.
