Par KIDD BRYAN. Like a fine crystal ornament, the delicate opening expresses the precious meaning of the song. Gradually, the music grows in strength to a full and rich proclamation of joy. Thrilling chimes lift the spirit even higher. In the last bars the music melts away once again, befitting the gentleness of the gift and the moment. This is a delightful contrast piece for the holiday concert that allows the musicians to be truly expressive. / Niveau : 2.5 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par KIDD BRYAN. This is one to get excited about! In the style of a “patrol” march, THE ROAD TO CHANCELLORSVILLE takes us back to that pivotal point in history, the American Civil War. The Battle of Chancellorsville is regarded as Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s most brilliant victory, but the cost was so high that the Secessionist forces never really recovered. They were forced to surrender less than two years later. Opening with light percussion and just two piccolos (substitute two flutes if necessary) this bright and easy march builds relentlessly from beginning to end. March into history with THE ROAD TO CHANCELLORSVILLE. / Niveau : 2 / Marche / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Par BULLA STEPHEN. All right. Admit it. When you were a kid, some of your favorite music came from cartoonland. Who knows? It may have been cartoons that first introduced you to your favorite classical masters. Would Rossini's 'William Tell Overture' be what it is today had there been no cartoons? Isn't the glissando the REAL reason your Trombone section decided to play that particular instrument? Treat yourself, your band, and your audience to some good old animated goofiness, a few merry melodies, and a lot of slapstick fun. They'll love it. What could be more fun than Stephen Bulla's CARTOON CAPERS? / Niveau : 3 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

What kid doesn't love a train! This entertaining and fun piece for beginning bands calls for some lucky student (or administrator) to be featured on a wooden train whistle (the cheap kind!). Along the way you can teach musicalconcepts of style articulation and steady pulse. All aboard! Dur: 2:10

From the Paramount Picture The Lemon Drop Kid-First recorded in 1950 Silver Bells has remained one of the true classics of the holiday season. Johnnie's arrangement is scored for reduced instrumentation but still sounds great.

Arr. Bryan Kidd. Home on the Range est une ancienne mélodie country qui plonge ses racines dans l’Amérique de l’Ouest. Cette mélodie a récemment fait le tour de monde, après avoir été intégrée dans la bande originale du film d’animation La ferme se rebelle produit par les studios Disney. Bryan Kidd en a réalisé une version très créative avec des harmonies surprenantes et des lignes expressives. Une composition fun et divertissante. / Niveau : 2.5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
