With first and second year players in mind, Ed Huckeby has developed a modal melodic and harmonic structure using a familiar key as the tonal center, making the piece sound much more difficult than it really is. The contrasting slow section allows the ensemble to showcase its developing legato style. A single bass line also allows great flexibility for ensembles with limited low brass and low woodwind sections. Your students will love Beyond The Stars and your audiences will be amazed at how the band is playing such difficult music. Highly recommended for young players and ensembles with limited instrumentation.

Out of this world!

Real music using only the first 6 notes! This beautiful setting for the very young band will provide an unexpected display of sensitivity during the first holiday concert. Matt Conaway seamlessly weaves the holiday carol Angels We Have Heard On High with the familiar children's song Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star to create a unique, delicate lullaby. Though only requiring the first six notes taught in most beginning band methods, this setting provides great opportunities to teach musicianship and phrasing to more experienced groups. A welcome change of pace for your next winter concert!

This three-movement programmatic work is based on various constellations and their Greek mythologies. Movements include Orion (The Hunter), Draco (The Dragon), and Pegasus (The Winged Horse). The opening movement paints a picture of the night sky before introducing the mighty Orion. The second movement depicts the fiery dragon and its fierce triple row of teeth. (An optional lion's roar enhances the movement.) The final movement takes listeners on a flight with Pegasus, beginning with a fast gallop on the ground before the magnificent animal takes flight. The movements can be performed separately or as a whole. Absolutely stunning!
