This new march from composer James Meredith is traditional in style and is based on the famous circus tune The Man on the Flying Trapeze. It is a challenging march that can stand with the marches of Sousa and Fillmore in its quality and is fun for the band and audience. The march ends with the circus tah, dah that the circus bands use to signal the end of the act and to encourage the audience to applause. We know your audiences will enjoy this piece.

James Meredith draws from his many years of experience teaching middle school bands to provide us with a piece that will highlight the strengths of a young group and work well to teach the fundamentals of marching styles. Magic March is a regal, original piece that is a refreshing change from traditional American style marches. This would be an excellent choice for a festival.

Already one of the most popular choral settings in the Carl Fischer Music catalog, Michael John Trotta's setting of Veni, Veni Emmanuel has now been skillfully transcribed by James Meredith for band. Trotta's setting of this seminal carol juxtaposes the old and new together in a refreshingly different approach to the song. The piece can work with band alone or with the popular choral setting. It is sophisticated enough for high school groups to put together quickly and can also work well with middle school groups.
This piece was conceived as a dialogue between the supplicants and the creator, a combination of old and new, juxtaposing a personal longing for something still to come, with the steadfast assurance of something ever-present yet not always seen. While the original theme is associated with the Christmas season, the wider theme of longing for something greater is universal to the human condition and allows this piece to be programmed throughout the year.This work may be performed with SATB Voices (published by Carl Fischer Music, CM9418).
