When Hearts Tremble is an emotion packed piece dedicated to musician friends lost all to soon. This beautiful composition by Brant Karrick reflects on the fragility of human existence, joyous memories of loved ones and their effect on everyone around them, and maintaining hope for what the future will hold when all feels lost. This tour de force piece perfectly displays Karrick's polished compositional craft with impeccable scoring, beautiful melodic writing, and exceptional orchestrational color.
While the day-to-day grind of our lives can be filled with overwhelming obligations, goals and commitments, it is sometimes very easy to forget just how precious and fragile life is . It is so easy to get caught up in our own personal feelings and worries that we sometimes don’t realize and appreciate the many blessings we have, especially friendships . On Wednesday, November 18, 2015 the Jefferson High School Band in Jefferson, Georgia lost two of its members to a fatal car accident . The victims were brothers . Music was a constant part of their lives, and the boys were talented percussionists in the marching band . To help with the grieving process the school and community commissioned this piece to celebrate the lives of William and Alex Trimble .As a father, I cannot imagine losing a child, let alone two, and beginning this piece was very difficult as I felt extreme anguish, especially for the parents . But it was decided the piece should primarily reflect the enthusiasm, youthful spirits and positive influence these two young men demonstrated as they were deeply loved by their band mates, community and family . There are four main themes, each representing the feelings and emotions that are certain to occur after a loss of loved ones . The first theme is a short, introductory fanfare, strong and bold, to stand for courage . A second dance-like melody features a liltingly mixed meter to portray a youthful and carefree innocence . This soon changes into a third more song-like, and stately theme intended to provide encouragement as we move forward through life .The middle of the piece includes a soft transition as two snare drummers give voice to the boys, allowing them to thank their friends and assuring them that it will be okay . This moves directly into a slow melody introduced by the saxophones (Alex, the younger brother was also a saxophonist) and is a time for reflection and allows for feelings of sadness at losing beloved friends . However, a second statement of the same theme, now at full volume with a strong percussion cadence, intends to lift the spirits and allows all friends to unite in joyous celebration of life . Both the enthusiastic dance theme and stately lyrical theme return, now in different keys, and work their way toward the highly energetic burst of glorious sound in the short and wild coda . When Hearts Tremble was written to celebrate the joys of youth and life, and should remind us that our friends and loved ones are precious, and we should live each day to bring more joy into the world and into the lives of others .

What do you get when you combine a happy Calypso feel, your mallet percussionists, and a favorite Christmas tune? Jolly Ol’ St. Stickolas, of course! Starting off with a cool Calypso groove, the mallets soon play Up On The Housetop with a light accompaniment from the rest of the band. A touch of Pachebel’s Canon in D is juxtaposed over St. Nick, resulting in a fun mallet feature that’s fun for the entire band. Don’t miss this one!

Imagine Tchaikovsky on a vacation trip that was arranged by a really, really bad travel agent. That, in a “nutshell”, describesThe Nutty Nutcracker. This humorous style parody of what may arguably be some of the best-known melodies on the planetis a certain crowd pleaser. Everybody knows the tunes, but not like THIS! The Arabian Tango; The Chinese Hoedown; TheWaltz of the Mariachi Flowers; The Dance of the Klezmer Clarinets and MORE. You get the idea! Great fun for everyone.You’llwant to use Mike Hannickel’s A Nutty Nutcracker again and again.Whoops! Where are we?

Een onderhoudende bewerking van Tsjaikovski's wereldberoemde Notenkraker, Waarin de arrangeur op de humoristische wijze een en ander doorelkaar heeft gehusseld. De meeste van de zeven delen zijn gebaseerd op dansstijlen en-ritmes, bijvoorbeeld de samba, de tango, de trepak, de wals en zelfs reggae. Deze stilistische aspecten kunnen worden overdreven voor een maximaal effect. Veel plezier met deze doldwaze notenkraker!

Was wäre, wenn Tschaikowski, von einer schlecht organisierten Reise zurückgekehrt, alle Noten seiner Nussknacker-Suite vollkommen durcheinander vorgefunden hätte und das kurz vor der Premiere? Seltsame Vorstellung - aber genau das ist die Fantasie, die Mike Hannickel seinem amüsanten Stück The Nutty Nutcracker zugrunde legte, in dem die einzelnen Sätze, von Tschaikowskis Reise inspiriert, als Samba oder Klezmer, im chinesischen oder arabischen Stil, als Reggae oder Mariachi-Musik erscheinen.

Imaginez quoi ressemblerait Casse-Noisette si Tcha kovski avait accidentellement mélangé les parties instrumentales de cette œuvre sans jamais retrouver le bon ordre ? Cela vous semble improbable et sans doute avez-vous raison. Mike Hannickel, lui, n’exclut pas cette option et nous propose une toute autre version du célèbre ballet, une version que Tcha kovski aurait peut-être réalisée lui-même s’il y avait pensé. Écoutons sans plus attendre l’œuvre d’un Tcha kovski vraiment distrait.

Resignation was composed in memory of one of Ed Kiefer's best friends. Evoking the struggle of coming to grips with the loss of a dear friend, the piece is based on the hymn, My Shepherd Will Supply My Need. It is dramatic, heartfelt, and overwhelmingly beautiful. As Hans Christian Andersen once said, When words fail, music speaks..

Neither could I write a piece that could come close to reflecting his kind spirit, wit, personality or talent. In fact, it was almost impossible for me to write anything at all. My own grief and the stages of my grief kept getting in the way. I ended up with a setting of the hymn-tune, Resignation. Resigned.  To the fact that he is no longer with us. I know he is in a better place, but we are not. We miss him very much. And so, My Shepherd Will Supply My Need seems to speak to those of us he left behind. I apologize if this piece does not reflect your special feelings for him or help you celebrate his moving on. Unfortunately, I could only put down what I have come to accept and hope in some way it may speak to any of you that knew him or to others of you who have also lost a close friend. My Shepherd Will Supply My Need. That is my hope and my hope for you.Although technically very easy, this composition requires a maturity of musicianship to be performed properly. The Bb contrabass clarinet part is integral to the composition, but there are cues in the tuba part if you need them.  Make sure you bring horns to the fore at m. 53 and the low brass at m. 59 so the melody can be heard without effort. Exaggerate dynamics to bring more emotion to the piece. Be careful not to diminuendo too soon near the end or it will be difficult to diminish even further at the very end, where the lone clarinetist holds over a couple of measures, fading into nothing. I hope your students will enjoy this piece and take from it a greater appreciation for the way making music can express feelings.

What a way to open any concert. The Black Horse Troopis one of John Philip Sousa?s best known marches and was described by the great Frederick Fennell as ?a regimental march of classic content and proportions,one which serves as a model for all that are similar to it ...? Treat your band with this fantastic march.

John Philip Sousa schreef deze mars voor Troop A, een uitmuntende bereden eenheid van de Ohio National Guard in Cleveland. Frederick Fennell beschreef dit stuk als volgt: “Dit is een regimentsmars van een klassieke inhoud en vorm,een die kan dienen als model voor alle vergelijkbare marsen… In The Black Horse Troop is veel meer te vinden dan enkel Sousa’s talent voor het schrijven van marsen: zijn liefde voor paarden heeft hem ongetwijfeld geholpenbij het maken van een van zijn mooiste creaties.” De titel verwijst naar het exclusieve gebruik van zwarte paarden door Troop A, Ohio National Guard.

The Black Horse Troop ist einer von John Philip Sousas bekanntesten Märschen. Der berühmte Dirigent Frederick Fennel beschrieb das Stück als ein Regimentsmarsch von klassischem Inhalt und Struktur, ein Vorbild für alle ihm ähnlichen Werke... Verwöhnen Sie Ihr Blasorchester mit diesem fantastischen Marsch!

La collaborazione tra John Philip Sousa e la Troupe A, un’eccellente unit della Guardia Nazionale dell’Ohio di stanza a Cleveland, risale al 1881. Nel 1924, John Philip Sousa dedica a questa unit la marcia The Black Horse Troop(La truppa dei cavalli neri). Da The Black Horse Troop traspare molto più del semplice talento nel comporre di Sousa; il suo amore per i cavalli lo ha senza dubbio aiutato a fare di questa marcia una delle sue creazioni più riuscite. Il titolo prende spunto dal fatto che la Troupe A monta solamente cavalli neri.
