Grade 3

SKU: CL.CTS-8059-00

Composed by Claude T. Smith. Arranged by Earp. Concert Band. Score and set of parts. Composed 2023. Claude T. Smith Publications #CTS-8059-00. Published by Claude T. Smith Publications (CL.CTS-8059-00).

The original of this arrangement continues to be one of Claude T. Smith’s most performed works. The opening theme sparkles with rhythmic energy and harmonic structure that never grow old. The Andante section is a beautiful contrast to the main theme occurring in neighboring sections. This flexible arrangement allows ensembles to perform the work with as few as thirteen musicians providing accessibility and flexibility for numerous instrumentation needs, while still allowing a full ensemble sound. *The posted recording is based on the full band scoring but aligns with the suggested preferences for either woodwinds/strings or brass suggested in the score.

Variazioni in Blue besteht aus einer Reihe von Variationen, die auf melodischen Blueselementen wie die blue notes“ beruhen. Einer ornamentalen Variation im klassischen Stil schließt sich eine Blues-Variation an. Dann folgt eine temporeiche, osteuropäische Variation. Das Werk ist dadurch sehr vielschichtig und abwechslungsreich und passt hervorragend in den konzertanten Teil eines Konzertes. Auch als Wertungsspielstück ist es sehr gut geeignet.

Variazioni in Blue est basé sur une série de variations dans laquelle des éléments du blues (comme les fameuses blue notes) servent de fil conducteur. Après une introduction majestueuse qui révèle partiellement le thème central, on entend une première variation ornementale dans un style classique. Elle est suivie par une deuxième variation dans le style du blues et par une troisième, plus rapide, dont le caractère provient des musiques traditionnelles d’Europe de l’Est. L’Andante espressivo contient de subtils changements harmoniques. Ce mouvement évolue en une reprise de la variation folklorique précédente dont l’intensité est augmentée par le passage enMajeur qui conduit vers le finale.

Composed by Edvard Grieg. Arranged by Johnnie Vinson. MusicWorks Grade 2. Contest, Festival. Softcover. 12 pages. Duration 850 seconds. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.4006658).

Composed by Edvard Grieg in 1875, music from Peer Gynt was originally incidental music for Henrik Ibsen's five-act play. The beautiful Solveig's Song is from the second orchestral suite later extracted by Grieg. Johnnie's tender setting opens with a lyric theme scored for the trumpet section. A brief andante section features the woodwinds before returning to the opening melody this time richly scored for full band. A beautiful work for teaching lyric style playing.

SKU: CL.011-2563-00

Composed by Huckeby. Young Concert Band. Command Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR187). Score and set of parts. Composed 1993. Duration 5 minutes, 7 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #011-2563-00. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.011-2563-00).

Features the appealing melodies, exciting rhythms, and solid scoring that you have come to expect from Ed Huckeby. After an effective Maestoso introduction, the bright Allegro really punches out the main theme. The contrasting Andante section in 3/4 has a beautiful melody first presented in the upper woodwinds and then later with the full ensemble. Huckeby’s previous pieces at this grade level have been extremely well received and Oxford Pointe is certainly one of his nicest efforts to date.
