A Chorale Prelude. Concert Band. Concert Band Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR389). Oversized, spiral-bound score. Composed 2016. Duration 4 minutes, 5 seconds. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-4495-75. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-4495-75).

This prolific composer has penned many beautiful, dramatic, and emotional works. On this occasion, he has created a hymn setting that is highly reflective and musically very powerful. While the band parts certainly stand on their own, optional use of antiphonal trumpets, organ, and choir are included should you desire to provide your audience with a spectacular performance that won't soon be forgotten. This is truly a very inspirational work. Very Impressive!

The era of old-time concerts in the park comes back to life with Side Partners. Composed by cornet virtuoso, Herbert L. Clarke, for himself and his long-time friend, Sousa Band trombonist Frank Holton, this delightful piece can be played by two cornets/trumpets, two trombones, two euphoniums, or any combination of these instruments. Feature your two outstanding brass players in this charming work. The accompaniment requires a minimum of rehearsal, and the solo parts are flashy without being overly demanding.

Chase the Horizon is a musical journey depicting a lonesome cowboy riding on his horse, chasing the horizon. Composer John Pasternak has delivered a strong and musically rewarding piece for the young band. It begins with a nice legato section before setting off on the journey with a tuneful theme. The piece develops through several contrasting sections finishing in a dramatic conclusion.
This piece is a story of new beginnings. While writing this piece I pictured a lonely cowboy riding on his horse, chasing the horizon. The beginning for this piece should have a very legato feel except for the Xylophone part, which should use a very abrupt, staccato articulation. Measure 9 should take on a staccato and light feel. The feeling should remain light except for the instruments with the melody, who should play their parts with a more legato feel. Dynamics throughout this first section are crucial. All parts at m. 22 should play with a legato style with focus on the dynamics. The trumpet interjection at m. 25 should be played very light. At m. 32 there should be contrast with all the different styles of articulation. Measure 42 should not slow down too quickly as the group should not ever get slower than the tempo marking at m. 49.The slow section at m. 49 should be played soft with a legato style growing gradually through m. 61. The articulation at m. 61 should be short and staccato, and be careful not to rush. The sections with the melody here should contrast the staccato of the ensemble with a legato style. When the ensemble arrives at m. 78 the piece should have a maestoso-style feel. The rit. at m. 88 should not become slower than the tempo at m. 92. At m. 92, let the horns and saxophones really shine through.

Expeditious begins with fanfare-like harmonies, making this beginning band piece sound unexpectedly advanced. Composer John Pasternak utilizes accessible notes and rhythms in this well-crafted piece for the youngest players while still creating a rich musical experience. Pasternak is fast becoming a go to composer for intriguing works for young bands.
Expeditious focuses on contrast in articulations. The beginning of the piece focuses on a marcato/accented style, and the notes should be given full value. At m. 11, the piece switches focus to a staccato articulation style. Pickups into m. 26 should have a large dynamic contrast. The style at m. 41 should have a more legato feel. Measure 45 returns to a staccato feel. Measure 47 will then switch back to the prior legato style. The dynamic change at m. 52 should be instant. Measure 70 should also have an instant dynamic change. The piece ends with the marcato/accented style from the beginning of the piece.

An exceptionally clever idea, to combine the standard bugle calls into an easy march for beginning students.  It is something they already know, and can be successful on right away.  We are delighted to welcome composer/educator Chris Ferguson to the Carl Fischer catalog.  He brings a wealth of experience working with beginners that has translated into this wonderful new march for young students.
Reveille March is inspired by the bugle calls found throughout military history.The “Reveille” call is the signal used to awaken the troops for morning roll call and accompanies the raising of the flag. At the conductor’s discretion, the soli sections (measures 29 and 37) may also be performed as solos in reference to the traditional solo bugle call.“To the Color” (measure 49) is used to signal the end of a soldier’s day. It is also used when a full band is not available to render honors and commands all the same courtesies as our National Anthem.

Composed by Jan Van der Roost. Brilliant Marches. March. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 1991. De Haske Publications #DHP 0910271-010. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-0910271-010).

Mercury is a concert march composed in a typically British idiom. In 1990, Jan Van der Roost wrote this piece on the occasion of the 15-year anniversary of his own band: Brass Band Midden Brabant. Like many British marches, the main theme is written in a minor key. Powerful and virtuoso themes characterize the first part of this march, while the trio melody is much more melodical, offering the tenor register to display its lyrical skills. Follows a dynamic passage for trombones and trumpets/cornets, leading to a grandioso version of the main trio melody and thus concluding this march in a magnificent way.

Een stevige concertmars met een trio van een ongekende schoonheid. Een klassieker binnen het blaasmuziekrepertoire.

Mercury ist ohne Zweifel einer der weltweit bekanntesten Märsche für Blasorchester er stammt aus der Feder des belgischen Komponisten Jan Van der Roost.

Mercury est sans doute l’une des plus célèbres marches de concert du répertoire pour Orchestre, composée par le belge Jan Van der Roost.

Composta dal belga Jan Van der Roost, Mercury è sicura¬mente una delle marce più famose del suo repertorio.

Perfect for your next concert or contest performance, Code of Honor will inspire feelings of courage and adventure. A robust opening flows naturally into the main theme proposed by the trumpets, accompanied by the dauntless snare drummer. Uplifting harmonies add to the already spirited mood. Things calm down a bit during a moving but dignified lyrical section. We are soon propelled once again into action by the snare drum and our heroic theme carries us to a rousing conclusion.
