A Musical Space Adventure. Par HANNICKEL MIKE. Names like Mercury, Gemini, Soyuz, Sputnik, Apollo, Salyut, Eagle, Skylab, Space Shuttle and Mir have kindled the imaginations of millions. This new beginning band piece by Mike Hannickel honors all the brilliant and dedicated space visionaries who stayed here on Earth, but whose efforts made space exploration a reality. The simplest of rhythms, careful scoring and easily achieved instrument ranges are hallmarks of the Curnow Music Press Great Foundations Series, which is carefully designed to get your beginning band off to an exciting start. This composition limits the upper brass range to a sixth, while the low brass parts encompass a range of only a fifth. The basicflute part avoids difficult finger combinations, and an optional “advanced” flute part (playable simultaneously with the easier part) gives those who are progressing more rapidly a bit more challenge. You have the same choice of difficulty levels for your percussion section, with a basic part and a slightly more difficult “advanced” part. / Niveau : 0.5 / Répertoire / Concert Band

Fantasy for Band. Par BULLA STEPHEN. One can only imagine what it might be like if the animals ran the zoo! This and other questions will be considered in this programmatic original work for band, incorporating all manner of animal and jungle noises. Young bands students will love the opportunity to use some of those carefully rehearsed vocal monkey and bird sounds they’ve been diligently working on for years. You can almost see an imaginary sci-fi movie as the music progresses. Your band will have an elephant good time playing this one! Don’t miss out! / Niveau : 2 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band

A Tribute to the Bill of Rights. Par HOSAY JAMES L.. A modern but patriotic setting with optional narration makes FREEDOM'S PROMISE a moving and versatile Grade 3 piece you will want to add to your band library. It's an ideal patriotic feature for school or community performance. A musical tribute to The Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution, the optional narration can be read by one, or divided between a number of students. Many Junior High students in the U. S. spend a large portion of a year in Civics, History or Social Studies classes learning about their government and it's founding documents. A performance of FREEDOM'S PROMISE on your Spring concert is a perfect 'cross-curricular tie-in' for your music program. Some school districts have special funding for purchase of special cross-curricular materials. Don't miss it! / Niveau : 3 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

America, the Beautiful. Par CURNOW JAMES. The perfect arrangement for your Beginning Band’s first patriotic performance! There are lots of opportunities for young players to solidify basic skills here. A few easy accidentals, articulations, dynamics, and phrasing can all be taught while rehearsing Sea to Shining Seay. There are many more uses for this arrangement than the typical concert setting, too. Does your student body meet at the flag pole on Monday mornings for a flag salute? Play it there. How about a short performance at a school board meeting? The possibilities are endless! Don’t miss it! / Niveau : 0.5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band
