March. Composed by John Philip Sousa. Arranged by Brion. Concert Band. Extra full score. Composed 2020. Willow Blossom Music #WBM-4867-01. Published by Willow Blossom Music (CL.WBM-4867-01).

John Philip Sousa’s love of horses is reflected in this delightful march composition, The Black Horse Troop. Composed in 1924 for Troop A of the Cleveland National Guard, this wonderful march has a character and swagger unlike any other. The 6/8 meter and Sousa’s melodic genius create an astonishing musical image of a horseback unit on the move. One of the March King’s most beloved and most frequently requested marches. Outstanding!

About Build-A-Band Series

The Build-A-Band Series provides educational and enjoyable music for bands with incomplete or unbalanced instrumentation. Written using just four or five parts (plus percussion), these effective arrangements will work with any combination of brass, woodwind, string and percussion instruments as long as you distribute the parts so that each of the five parts is covered. All of the publications in the Build-A-Band Series have been arranged to be playable with any instrumentation as long as each part is used: 1st Part, 2nd Part, 3rd Part, 4th Part, and Bass Part. (Please note: In some of these arrangements the 4th Part, and the Bass Part are the same, making it possible to play those arrangements with only 4 parts.)

What a way to open any concert. The Black Horse Troopis one of John Philip Sousa?s best known marches and was described by the great Frederick Fennell as ?a regimental march of classic content and proportions,one which serves as a model for all that are similar to it ...? Treat your band with this fantastic march.

John Philip Sousa schreef deze mars voor Troop A, een uitmuntende bereden eenheid van de Ohio National Guard in Cleveland. Frederick Fennell beschreef dit stuk als volgt: “Dit is een regimentsmars van een klassieke inhoud en vorm,een die kan dienen als model voor alle vergelijkbare marsen… In The Black Horse Troop is veel meer te vinden dan enkel Sousa’s talent voor het schrijven van marsen: zijn liefde voor paarden heeft hem ongetwijfeld geholpenbij het maken van een van zijn mooiste creaties.” De titel verwijst naar het exclusieve gebruik van zwarte paarden door Troop A, Ohio National Guard.

The Black Horse Troop ist einer von John Philip Sousas bekanntesten Märschen. Der berühmte Dirigent Frederick Fennel beschrieb das Stück als ein Regimentsmarsch von klassischem Inhalt und Struktur, ein Vorbild für alle ihm ähnlichen Werke... Verwöhnen Sie Ihr Blasorchester mit diesem fantastischen Marsch!

La collaborazione tra John Philip Sousa e la Troupe A, un’eccellente unit della Guardia Nazionale dell’Ohio di stanza a Cleveland, risale al 1881. Nel 1924, John Philip Sousa dedica a questa unit la marcia The Black Horse Troop(La truppa dei cavalli neri). Da The Black Horse Troop traspare molto più del semplice talento nel comporre di Sousa; il suo amore per i cavalli lo ha senza dubbio aiutato a fare di questa marcia una delle sue creazioni più riuscite. Il titolo prende spunto dal fatto che la Troupe A monta solamente cavalli neri.

Black Horse Rag von Sjoerd van der Wal ist ein authentischer Rag für Akkordeon, graziös und dynamisch.

C’est entre 1895 et 1905 que le public américain semble avoir fait connaissance avec le ragtime, un genre unique issu de la fusion entre la musique européenne, les rythmes africains et les influences de la musique créole. Outre Scott Joplin, le « roi du ragtime », de nombreux autres compositeurs devaient contribuer la notoriété de cette musique hautement expressive, syncopée et polyrythmique. Black Horse Rag de Sjoerd van der Wal est un authentique ragtime pour Orchestre d’Accordéons, gracieux, dynamique et au charme d’antan.

Here is wonderful program music for young bands suggesting the imagery of wild horses roaming free in the Red Rock canyons of Utah. Interesting parts abound, with unison and independent lines for all players. The short opening fanfare sets the stage for the brisk allegro section. A short interlude leads to a lyrical section for the woodwinds and low brass. A new transitional fanfare leads us back to a recap of the main themes. An inspiring concert or festival selection!

März 1932 in Reading, im Staat Pennsylvania. verstarb.Die Idee, die hinter dieser Sammlung von Sousas bekanntestenMärschen steckt, ist, heutige Blasorchester mit einer praktischen Ausgabe, ganz im Sinne von Sousas eigener Aufführungspraxis und Instrumentierung, auszustatten.

Guitar - Intermediate

SKU: MB.31008M

Perfect binding. Blues. Book and online audio. 160 pages. Mel Bay Publications, Inc #31008M. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.31008M).

ISBN 9781513467016. 8.75x11.75 inches.

Blind Lemon Jefferson was a trail blazer, both as a singer and guitarist, but also as a commercial phenomenon, for he was the first blues musician to establish the tremendous appeal that blues, as played and sung by rural African American folk, had for the record-buying public. It is no exaggeration to say that the sales of Lemon’s records paved the way for a host of other solo rural blues musicians to record in his wake and made the record companies more willing to give other musicians a chance, in the hopes of achieving similar success. 

Lemon ’s record sales weren’t what made him a great musician, though - that could only be attributed to his startlingly virtuosic guitar - playing and soulful singing, developed over years of busking, building on his natural gifts with a great deal of practice and work. In the Guitar of Blind Lemon Jefferson author John Miller presents transcriptions, in standard notation and tablature, of 22 of Lemon’s greatest performances, with an additional essay examining Lemon’s senses of time and phrasing and his picking techniques. Also included is a download link to all the original recordings. 

To present a picture of Lemon the man, noted blues researchers Alan Governar and Kip Lornell have contributed an essay focusing on Lemon’s early life, the origins of his music, and his time spent in a musical partnership with Lead Belly. Links are provided to downloadable performances of the songs in the book from which the transcriptions were made, so that you can have Lemon’s sound in your head as you learn to play his songs.

Blind Lemon Jefferson was remarkable, even in a style that abounded in great musicians, and some measure of his influence can be seen in the fact that musicians recorded in the 1960s, more than thirty years after his death, were still covering his songs and stealing guitar licks from him. The Guitar of Blind Lemon Jefferson gives you the resources needed to learn what was so special about Lemon’s music, and to experience his musical excellence from inside the music itself.

Titles include: One Dime Blues, Got The Blues, Dry Southern Blues, Big Night Blues, Rabbit Foot Blues, Shuckin' Sugar Blues, Where Shall I Be, Wartime Blues, Black Horse Blues, Prison Cell Blues, Piney Woods Money Mama, See That My Grave Is Kept Clean, He Arose From The Dead, Beggin' Back, Broke And Hungry, Bad Luck Blues, Matchbox Blues, Lemon's Worried Blues, That Crawlin' Baby Blues, Easy Rider Blues, Stocking Feet Blues and Right of Way Blues
