Wolverine Trail is a concert march for beginning bands and is rather helpful in introducing beginners to the march form and style. This piece is based in the key of Eb major and uses only the first seven notes taught in most method books. It is also rhythmically accessible to beginners, as simple eighth-note combinations are the most difficult rhythms in this march. The piece follows standard march form except that is does not modulate at the trio section.
When writing this piece, I was thinking of my beginning band students at Polk County Middle School. Our school is located at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and is surrounded by dense pine forests. The mascot of our school is rather fittingly the wolverine; hence, our school is located on the street named “Wolverine Trail.” Learning to be a musician is not an easy trial, as it requires hard work, dedication, and endurance. However, the trail to becoming a musician is full of rewarding and breathtaking experiences. As I wrote this piece, I was inspired by the rugged beauty of our school’s location and also how I am helping my beginner students to start on the trail to becoming mature musicians.Wolverine Trail is a concert march for beginning bands and is rather helpful in introducing beginners to the march form and style. This piece is based in the key of Eb major and uses only the first seven notes taught in most method books. It is also rhythmically accessible to beginners, as simple eighth-note combinations are the most difficult rhythms in this march. The piece follows standard march form except that is does not modulate at the trio section which begins at m. 57. It is my hope that this piece will help you and your beginners start your own musical trailblazing.

Concert Band/Harmonie, Flute and Percussion - Grade 2.5

SKU: BT.CMP-0901-05-010

Composed by Timothy Johnson. Young Band. Solo & Concerto. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2005. Curnow Music #CMP 0901-05-010. Published by Curnow Music (BT.CMP-0901-05-010).

We are often so focused on presenting the entire ensemble that it’s easy to forget we can also program solo feature pieces. There are so many reasons to do just that. It rewards that special player who has been working so hard. It sets an example for other players in the section. It provides a nice contrast regardless of what else is programmed. Be sure to put on the demonstration CD found in this catalog and hear Flight of Fancy for yourself. We’re sure you’ll like it.Scintillating!

Met Flight of Fancy kunt u een solist (fluit of mallets) in de schijnwerpers plaatsen. We zijn zo vaak gericht op het orkest als geheel dat we wel eens vergeten om solowerken te programmeren, maar er zijn redenen te over omdat te doen. U kunt er een goede, hardwerkende muzikant mee belonen en anderen kunnen er een voorbeeld aan nemen. Bovendien creëert u een aangenaam contrast in uw concertprogramma. Deze muziek illustreert de vlucht die de verbeeldingskrachtvan een mens kan nemen - dan weer zorgeloos en grillig, dan weer beschouwend, maar altijd boeiend.

Gibt es in Ihrem Blasorchester einen Flötisten oder Malletspieler, der sich mit Fleiß und Hingabe in der wöchentlichen Orchesterarbeit einen besonderen Auftritt im nächsten Konzert verdient hat? Flight of Fancy von Timothy Johnson ist eine wundervolle Gelegenheit, wahlweise einen Flötisten oder Malletspieler mit einem nicht allzu schweren Solostück ins Rampenlicht zu rücken!

Composed as a tribute and memorial to a revered educator, If It Were Easy... brings to mind a range of emotions and moods, including the idea that goals worth achieving are not always easy, but require dedication and perseverance. The piece begins quietly then builds gradually to a glorious full band chorale before tapering to a quiet and delicate finish.

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 4

SKU: BT.CMP-0454-00-010

Composed by W. Steffe. Arranged by James Hosay. National Heritage Series. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2000. Curnow Music #CMP 0454-00-010. Published by Curnow Music (BT.CMP-0454-00-010).

The mainly unison, easy chorus parts in BATTLE HYMN 2000 mean you CAN prepare James Hosay's imaginative and inspiring version of The Battle Hymn of the Republic for performance, even though opportunities for combined chorus and band rehearsals are hard to find. In fact, the dress rehearsal may be all you need to put on the finishing touches. It makes a spine-tingling finale for a combined choral/band concert (it can also be used as a stand-alone band piece). For a thrilling addition, consider having the chorus surround the audience while the band remains on stage. The surround-sound effect can be magnificent and it gives each member of the chorus a little personal stardom.Don't forget, having one piece at the end of the concert which includes everyone always helps to make sure you maintain a full house for all your performing groups.

A delightful composition for beginning bands that is the perfect choice for your spring concert. The winds parts are incredibly easy, consisting of nothing harder than quarter notes while the percussion includes a part to be played on temple blocks or wood blocks. It’s cute, it’s playable and your students and their parents will love it! Lots of fun!

You can almost smell the aardvarks! Oh, no, wait. The kids had P.E. just before band rehearsal. Never mind.Seriously though, this cheerful and engaging new piece by Graydon Toms is a sure winner for every Grade 1 1/2 band. Big areas of contrast between the upper Woodwinds and the Brass and Saxophone combination ensure that each player feels important to the group, while an easy change of tempo near the end helps the piece sound harder than it plays.Whimsical!

Petit détour dans les steppes de l’Afrique subsaharienne la rencontre d’un mammifère étrange au caractère imprévisible, l’oryctérope. Cette parade bigarée offre de nombreux contrastes sonores entre les bois aigus, les cuivres et le pupitre des saxophones. Aardvark Parade donne votre prestation une touche d’originalité et de fraîcheur.
