Par JOHNSON TIMOTHY. Composer Timothy Johnson spent many years as a school band director. His teaching experience qualifies him to approach the development of this new entry into the CMP Essentials of Musicianship Series with reality-based confidence. Ever so gradually this product takes the band from the simplest forms of syncopation to more and more complex notation. Your students can build their reading skills at a pace they can handle. The astute teacher will also notice that there is plenty of concept reinforcement as the group steps from easy to more challenging rhythms. A great teaching tool! / Niveau : 1-2 / Répertoire / Educatif

Par JOHNSON TIMOTHY. 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! / Niveau : 2.5 / oeuvre solo et Orchestre / Répertoire / Concert Band

Par JOHNSON TIMOTHY. The pure excitement of space exploration and discovery are proclaimed in the moving work for young band. We follow the progress of the astronauts from their launch, through a tranquil space walk, and back into our atmosphere for a dramatic ending, stopping for a brief saxophone solo on the way. The tempo never lags, even in the contemplative portions of the piece, and there is plenty of technically challenging yet playable passages to go around. / Niveau : 2 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band

Concert March. Par JOHNSON TIMOTHY. À l’est de la Californie s’élève la Sierra Nevada. Coiffée de neige, la cime du Mont Thunderbolt (Thunderbolt Peak) se dresse, spectaculaire, au beau milieu de cette chaîne montagneuse. Cette marche imposante aux thèmes amples décrit, dans un mode mineur, la dangereuse beauté du décor. Une oeuvre efficace même si l’on dispose d’une formation incomplète. / Niveau : 0.5 / Marche / Répertoire / Concert Band
