Two notes . . . then two more. A counter-statement . . . then another. Ideas develop and unravel. Percussion punctuates, brass recapitulates, woodwinds decorate. Like a lit fuse, this new work will fascinate, enervate, and captivate---drawing you to the very end . . . and then . . . KABOOM! (2:50).

The composer Joseph Martin Kraus was born in the same year as Mozart, and like Salzburg's famous son, he was highly gifted and died too young. But in recent years he has received more attention. And rightly so! The Miserere was composed in 1773 during his student years in Erfurt and is evidence of his technical abilities at the age of just seventeen. Even in this early work Kraus showed himself to be a true exponent of the musical Sturm und Drang movement. For all its youthful carefreeness and originality in terms of compositional technique, the music is characterised by great seriousness and depth of expression, abruptness, and at times also brusqueness.

Not to be confused with the nautical term Ahoy!, the phrase All hands hoay! actually means all hands on deck for some serious work! In other words, string players, it's time to get those fingers moving with this simple, rugged, and modal seafaring melody. Written in the often-inaccessible key of F-sharp natural minor, this fun musical pirate's tale will have your students' little fingers stretching nonstop. The melody is evenly passed around, with a middle section featuring your violas and a jaunty contrapuntal ending. Younger orchestras will have a blast with this exciting original, All Hands Hoay! by Anthony Granata, as they get right down to work! (1:40) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Along with the movement In the King’s Hall, The Homage March from Act III of Sigurd Jorsalfar remains one of the most popular Scandinavian pieces of classical music. This arrangement has, once again, has been skilfully crafted by Wil van der Beek for a younger Concert Band and will be a popular addition to any concert.

Sigurd Jorsalfar ist die Bühnenmusik zum gleichnamigen Drama des berühmten norwegischen Dichters Bjørnsterne Bjørnson. Das Werk basiert auf einer altnordischen Sage von zwei Brüdern, die beide um den Königsthron kämpfen und einer Frau, die den Streit schlichten soll. Wil van der Beek bearbeitete den feierlichen Huldigungsmarsch aus diesem Werk für Blasorchester.

La Marche d’Hommage de l’acte III de la suite orchestrale Sigurd Jorsalfar d’Edvard Grieg, se trouve l’opposé des marches au caractère sombre ou martial. L’introduction en forme de fanfare est superbement lyrique. Puis vient l’exposition d’un thème joué cantabile. L’instrumentation développe quelque peu le thème initial avec des accents rythmiques la basse. Le thème de la marche est ainsi amorcé. Un trio central, lumineux et serein, précède le retour du thème de marche au tutti.

Concert Band/Harmonie - Grade 2.5

SKU: BT.CMP-0626-02-010

Composed by George Frideric Handel. Arranged by James Curnow. Sinfonia Series. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 2002. Curnow Music #CMP 0626-02-010. Published by Curnow Music (BT.CMP-0626-02-010).

This arrangement of Handels beautiful melody was created as an educational tool for teaching students both the legato (sustained) style and the expressive quality of playing. Though these qualities of performance are not generally considered fun by younger students, compared to playing fast, exciting music with more technical demands, it actually requires a great deal more musical maturity and ability.

De titel van Händels bekende Largo is een Italiaanse muziekterm die het laagst mogelijke tempo aanduidt. Meer in het algemeen vraagt de term ook een brede stijl van spelen, in een plechtige beweging. James Curnow schreef ditarrangement als educatief materiaal om jonge orkestleden zowel legato(vloeiende) stijl als de expressie tijdens het spelen bij te brengen. De mooie melodie wordt veel gespeeld tijdens bruiloften en kerkelijke feesten en aangeleenheden.

Di e Melodie des 1720 zum ersten Mal für Cembalo erschienenen Largo erklingt oft zu Hochzeiten und ähnlichen festlichen Anlässen. James Curnows Arrangement des Largo für Blasorchester ist nicht allzu schwer. Das Stück eignet sich damit gut, auch unerfahrene Orchester in das langsame, getragene Spiel einzuführen, das diese wunderschöne Melodie verlangt.

En 1738, Haendel compose l’opéra-comique Serse qui relate les diverses escapades amoureuses de Xerxès - représentation purement imaginaire du roi de Perse. Il intègre dans cette œuvre, l’aria Ombra mai fú, reprise dans diverses versions instrumentales sous le titre de Largo d’Haendel. L’arrangement de James Curnow est idéal pour mettre en valeur les caractéristiques sonores de chaque famille d’instrument, développer l’expressivité et le jeu legato.

A high energy rock chart loaded with appeal. While trumpets are featured on the opening figure and chorus, saxes and bones have the melody throughout. Utilizing repetitive rhythms and fingerings that lay well on the instrument, the difficulty level of this piece is easily attainable by younger, less experienced groups with less than perfect instrumentation. Easy changes and written out solos will encourage developing soloists, yet will also showcase mature players. Appeal, accessibility, and modest ranges make this chart an excellent concert or contest selection, and an all-around winner for your band.

Scalin' and Wailin' is a flexible, fun piece written with a differentiated instruction model. Three different difficulty levels meet students where they're at in their development and allows space for each to grow. This piece is also ideal for educators and conductors looking for side by side programming - younger ensembles can all play within the easiest group and more advanced ensembles can play within the more difficult groups, all fitting together in one energetic piece. Celebrate BandQuest's 20th anniversary with this special release, and find what works for your ensemble! BandQuest(r), an exciting series of new music and accompanying curricula for band, is a program published by the American Composers Forum. The series was started as a response to feedback from music educators that there is a pressing need for new, fresh band music. The heart of this program is new works written by a diverse group of leading American composers who have created challenging pieces that are a true departure from standard middle school repertoire. Every BandQuest project includes a residency component in which the composer works collaboratively with a middle school as they create their new piece. Many BandQuest pieces are accompanied by an interdisciplinary curriculum designed to assist students as they learn the music and to integrate each piece with non-music studies.
