Par CURNOW JAMES. erfect for a combined Choral/Band concert as an opener, closer or anywhere in between. This medley of familiar tunes is tied together by the recurring concept that MUSIC SHALL LIVE. A swingin' WADE IN THE WATER, a soulful NOBODY KNOWS THE TROUBLE I'VE SEEN, and an inspiring BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC make it a crowd pleaser. The unison choral part makes sure the chorus can come through loud and clear and the performance can be prepared without a great deal of combined rehearsal time. Big, bold and powerful! (String parts and Beginning Band (simplified) parts are also available for large, All-City Band, Orchestra and Chorus performances) / Niveau : 2 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band

Arr. James L. Hosay. Par STEFFE W.. The mainly unison, easy chorus parts in BATTLE HYMN 2000 mean you CAN prepare James Hosay's imaginative and inspiring version of 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic' for performance, even though opportunities for combined chorus and band rehearsals are hard to find. In fact, the dress rehearsal may be all you need to put on the finishing touches. It makes a spine-tingling finale for a combined choral/band concert (it can also be used as a stand-alone band piece). For a thrilling addition, consider having the chorus surround the audience while the band remains on stage. The surround-sound effect can be magnificent and it gives each member of the chorus a little personal stardom. Don't forget, having one piece at the end of the concert which includes everyone always helps to make sure you maintain a 'full house' for all your performing groups. / Niveau : 4 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
