Taylor Swift's hit song is a pop culture sensation and for good reason. Catchy melodies a fast groove a strong hook...but most of all it's just plain fun for everyone. Shake It Off has become an encouraging catchphrase for parents teachers coaches and even a few politicians. You will love how Tom's arrangement captures all the elements of this pop phenomenon.

'Melody is the very essence of music.' -W.A.Mozart (1786)Mozart confirmed this view on melody by writing the Ave Verum Corpus near theend of his short life. Originally written for chorus strings and organ this work standsamong the most beautiful musical expressions of all time. Timothy Johnson has skillfullymade Mozart's wondrous achievement available to concert bands. It's perfect forworship services and the sostenuto style with careful attention to dynamics makesit a great choice for that 'middle' spot at festival or for the more serious moment atany performance. Given the opportunity young bands LOVE to play truly greatmusic and it just doesn't getmuch better than the mastery of Mozart.

La chanteuse Alison Moyet est repérée au début des années 1980 par Vince Clarke alors à la recherche d?une plus grande indépendance : il a quitté son célèbre groupe Depeche Mode. La voix mélancolique d?Alison Moyet et la musique pop électronique innovante de Vince Clarke s?unissent au sein du groupe Yazoo dont des chansons comme Only You et Don?t Go rencontrent un vif succès. Quelques années après Alison Moyet décide néanmoins de suivre son propre chemin et se lance dans une carrière solo au cours de laquelle elle développe un style plus conventionnel. Elle enregistre plusieurs reprises telles que The First Time I Ever Saw Your Face et That Ole Devil CalledLove mais compose aussi de superbes titres tels que Love Resurrection et bien entendu All Cried Out une chanson particulièrement expressive. L?arrangement de Peter Kleine Schaars reste très fidèle à l?ambiance de la chanson d?origine.

Fun for all!! The chorale style opening soon turns into a rousing funky-jazzy-gospel riff-style roof-raiser that will have your audience tapping along. It's nice for the concert band to get the opportunity to play something 'jazzy' once in a while and you know the audience will love it as much as the band does.Plenty of opportunity to study jazz-style phrasing in the concert band interesting Percussion parts a catchy tune and good linear motion for all move GETTIN' GOSPEL to the 'top of the list'. The only danger here is that the band might like it a little TOO much and want to play it every day.

This is an ancient Welsh air that was first published in Relics of the Welsh Bards in 1794. Dafydd (David) Owain was a famous Welsh bard who lived on a farm called Gareg Wen (The White Rock) in Eifionydd Carnarnvonshire North Wales. Tradition has it that on his deathbed he called for his harp and composed this lovely melody requesting that it be played at his funeral. Accordingly it was later played at the parish church of Ynys-Cynhaiarn. Lyrics were later added by Ceiriog Hughes which describe the melody's inspiration. This version for fanfare band retains all the beauty and simplicity of the original.

This hard-hitting rock anthem was recorded by Golden Earring back in 1973. Paul's chart for the field or stands features the trombones on the theme distinctive full band riffs and a driving shuffle groove throughout!

Les quatre premiers vers de cette célèbre chanson des Beach Boys résument à merveille les différentes 'vibrations' ou natures d'ondes qui existent autour de nous : lumineuses mécaniques chimiques etc. Composée et produite par Brian Wilson le génie musical du groupe Good Vibrations (1966) connaît un succès fulgurant dans le climat psychédélique ambiant. Il se classe n°1 dans la plupart des pays du monde et devient un des hymnes du mouvement hippie naissant.
