Amber moons are beautiful and rare full moons, created when the sun is high in the sky and directly opposite the moon. Amber Moon begins with an opening fanfare, then moves into the first theme based on this fanfare. A second statement of the theme is repeated softly, followed by a lyrical secondary theme in the woodwinds. Variations follow this statement, and cyclically, like the comings and goings of the Moon and Sun, the piece concludes with a return to the initial theme.
Amber moons are very beautiful and rare full moons, created when the sun is high in the sky and directly opposite the moon. They appear unusually large and low on the horizon with a deep, rich honey color and are believed to be signs of blessing and good luck.  Amber Moon begins with an opening fanfare, then moves into a first theme based on this fanfare. A second statement of the theme is repeated softly, followed by lyrical second theme in the woodwinds. Variations follow this statement and a return to theme one concludes the piece.I enjoyed writing this piece and hope your students will enjoy playing these contrasting styles and that you will find the piece beneficial in teaching important musical concepts.Peter Terry, 2018.

Kids can make weird sounds. Every conductor of young bands has discovered this maxim time and again. Why not put those skills to good use? Barnyard Bagatelle mixes well-known “barnyard” folk songs like “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” “Old MacDonald,” “The Old Grey Mare,” “Shoo Fly” and more with the animal sound effects your students have studiously perfected over the years. Audition your band for vocal imitations of a Pig, a Big Dog, a “yappy” Little Dog, a Cow, a clucking Chicken and many more; then have some real musical fun.
