Quest for the Throne evokes images of kings and castles, knights and horses, and dragons in all their glory. It is a bold and aggressive piece throughout, but includes a contrasting, lush secondary theme for variety. In his typical style, Clark has used forceful figures, and strong melodic content to give students music they'll want to practice and play again and again.
This piece should depict images of kings and castles, knight and horses, dragons and damsels in distress. It should be bold and aggressive throughout, but never with bad tone. This is then contrasted by the lush second theme that is presented first in a softer thin orchestration, but later becomes a change for the whole ensemble to play in a strong, but lush presentation of this theme.One thing that is important to me when writing music for younger students is to offer pieces that challenge all students in the ensemble and give every section an important part of the musical presentation, which naturally should include some melodic material. Every member of the ensemble wants to feel that they are contributing to the collective whole.It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to write this piece. I hope you and your students enjoy it and find it useful for your program.—Larry ClarkLakeland, FL 2018.

Concert Band Concert Band - Grade 2

SKU: FJ.B1333S

Score Only. Composed by Brian Balmages. Concert Band. FJH Young Band. Programmatic. Score. Duration 4:45. The FJH Music Company Inc #98-B1333S. Published by The FJH Music Company Inc (FJ.B1333S).

English.

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!

A great new edition of Karl L. King’s classic circus piece with a happy ragtime beat. Originally written to accompany a trick horse act with the Barnum & Bailey’s Circus, the tune soon became so popular that it was used for a wide variety of acts including clown walk-a-bouts. Bob Foster’s arrangement retains all of the color and excitement of the original while making it playable with the modern concert band instrumentation. It’s not easy, but it sure is fun!
