This is a wonderful way to feature the lyrical playing of your beginning clarinet section. A simple accompaniment in 3/4 provides a nice background for the beautiful melody presented by the clarinets. Plenty of cues are provided, as well as ample amounts of rest, in each part. An excellent choice to teach phrasing, and show off the lyrical abilities of your band. (2:00).

A beginning band piece limited to a 6-note range, Rite of Passage will have your band playing together in very little time. Utilizing smaller chamber sections as well as the full band, this is an excellent teaching piece. With no clarinets over the break and no trumpets higher than a written A, this is a very easy Grade 1 concert march. (2:00).

SKU: CL.011-1871-01

Composed by Shaffer. Young Concert Band. Command Series. Audio recording available separately (item CL.WFR386). Extra score. Composed 1986. Duration 3 minutes, 23 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #011-1871-01. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.011-1871-01).

A marvelous contest piece that follows in the tradition of his very popular Excellentia Overture.’’ Starting with the broad fanfare introduction, the composition is built on a simple fugue starting in the woodwinds which eventually winds through the different voices of the band. A lush and expressive middle section provides just the right amount of contrast. Ideal for Jr. High and Middle School bands.

All the While was inspired by a very special person in Tyler Arcari's life. Director's will be happy to find many opportunities for emotional and passionate playing with plenty of fun in the middle for young bands.  All the While gives students a number of chances to work on expressive playing during the beginning and ending sections, and offers a light rhythmic middle section for contrast.
Program Notes:All the While is a bit of a personal piece for me. I was inspired to write it by a very special person in my life. It might be a young-band piece but I feel that it has the capacity for great emotion and passionate playing as well as a little fun in the middle. Sometimes it is difficult to tell people how you feel, even if you have known them for a long time. I think sometimes we say in our heads that “I have felt this way for a long time,” and all the while never being able to put it to words.About the work:The piece opens with a flute and alto saxophone duet. This melody trades off at m. 10 with the addition of new voices and harmonies building in intensity all the way to m. 28. I personally like to use extended phrases in this section, though it looks like it would just utilize four-measure phrases. I feel this adds to the momentum building in dynamic intensity. Measure 28 is a subito change beginning with a prominent Timpani solo. The following section should be played as lightly as possible to avoid a lumbering feel. In mm. 68- 70, the agogic accents should not be very heavy, but more pointed in their momentum to m. 70.Measures 70–76 should be taken with metric liberty bringing out all of the moving parts in the low brass. The low brass really adds the foundation of momentum for the rest of the band here. Measure 76 to the end, though a repetition of material from the beginning, should be played as the high point of the piece and familiar conclusion.

English.

A beautiful hymn with rich harmonies and suspensions opens this fine work for beginning bands. As the lyrical melody reaches a final cadence, the piece then moves into a bombastic chant with a wealth of percussion. The theme is presented in different textures and students will explore the basic components of a fugue in an easy setting. Listeners and performers alike will be excited by the rhythmic drive of the percussion. In addition, consider using the opening as a daily chorale to work on intonation with your ensemble.
