The
classic holiday favorite
by Al Stillman and Robert

in a playable arrangement
for concert band. It is
my hope that this
arrangement will be
equally satisfying for
the young band with ample
rehearsal time or for the
more mature band that
wants a holiday favorite
they can perform with
limited rehearsal. The
piece is presented first
in a lush chorale format
with the use of extended
jazz harmonies. Special
care should be given to
balancing and tuning the
inner voices for the most
pleasant sound. After the
lush opening on the
famous refrain the
arrangement moves to the
bridge in an up-tempo
swing. In this section
the percussion is written
to imitate a drum set,
but if a set is available
it may be preferable to
use it in order to get
the right feel. Following
the bridge is another
statement of the refrain
followed by a hymn-style
section by the reeds with
jazz interjections by the
brass straight out of the
famous Perry Como
rendition. This is
followed by a D.S. to the
bridge, one more refrain
and then a short coda It
has been my pleasure to
have the opportunity to
write this arrangement. I

students enjoy it and
find it useful for your

Based on our
popular New Bennett Band
Book series, we have
compiled march-style
warm-ups in a separate
publication so they may
be used by all bands
wishing to learn from
them. These innovative
warm-ups and fundamental
drills are the ultimate
method of teaching and
reinforcing the March
style. How To Use the
March Warm-upsPlaying in
a march style can present
difficulties for young
students. The most
prevalent problem is that
students have a tendency
to play every note too
short. Conversely,
accented notes are
usually played
incorrectly with too much
tongue. Do marches
contain short notes?
Absolutely, but these
shortest of notes should
be reserved for notes
that precede an accent or
notes that are
specifically marked with
a staccato. Think of
unmarked notes as being
separated, but not short
and certainly not clipped
or stopped with the
tongue. Accented notes
should be played with
more weight using air and
more length, and not just
a harder tongue. Accents
are given to show
emphasis to a note and
should be thought of in
this manner.The warm-up
exercises provided in
this collection should
give you many
opportunities to stress
the above-mentioned
comments on march
performance style. The
following gives an
explanation on the
purpose and use of each
of these exercises.No. 1
– Basic Chords and
ModulationsOne of the
challenges of playing
marches with young
students is successfully
performing the key change
at the Trio. This
exercise presents the
three basic chords
(tonic, subdominant and
dominant) in each of the
three keys in this
collection of marches.
You can also use this
exercise to teach and
reinforce the style of
accented notes. You may
want to have your band
play major scales in
succession by fourths to
reinforce the concept of
modulation to the
subdominant that occurs
at the Trio (i.e. the
B≤-major scale,
then the E≤-major
scale, then the
A≤-major scale). I
might suggest getting the
students to try
continuing the pattern
all the way around the
circle of fourths.No. 2
– March Style in
B≤ MajorThis
exercise contains many
opportunities to teach
and reinforce the
difference between
staccato and accented
notes. The melody voices
move up and down the
B≤-major scale,
while other instruments
play chords commonly
found in the marches in
this collection. These
include diminished
chords, secondary
dominant chords (i.e. the
V of the V) and other
common chromatic chords
that Fillmore often
used.No. 3 –
Cakewalk Rhythm in
B≤ MajorThe simple
syncopated rhythm in this
exercise is common to
many marches. This drill
gives you the opportunity
to teach/ reinforce the
standard ar-ticulation
and natural accent of
this rhythmic pattern.
Again, this exercise uses
an ascending and
descending major-scale
pattern as the melodic
basis, accompanied by
chords commonly found in
American- style
marches.No. 4 –
The March Scale in
B≤ MajorI call this
exercise “The March
Scale,†because
often in marches (and
especially in these
marches) the descending
half-step is part of the
melodic material. These
chromatic figures give
the melodies of many
marches their charm and
flow. Thus, I devised
this exercise and others
like it in E≤ major
and A≤ major to
familiarize students with
these patterns. I would
suggest playing the
pattern in a variety of
ways different from what
is written. Here are some
other
possibilities:•
Tongue one, slur
three• Slur two,
tongue two• Tongue
two, slur two•
Tongue one, slur two,
tongue oneGradually
increase the tempo to the
march tempo and the
articulation style will
fall right into
place.Another important
consideration is the
performance of the bass
line and the bass-drum
part. Too often, the bass
drum and bass instruments
play their parts with
equal emphasis on both
beats in the measure.
This is incorrect, and
frequently makes the
marchNo. 5 – March
Style in E≤
MajorThis is a similar to
exercise No. 2, but with
a different rhythmic
pattern. Emphasize the
difference between
accented and unaccented
notes. Also, play the
exercise with line
direction moving the
musical line forward.
Experiment and play the
exercise with different
dynamic choices and with
hairpins up and down in
different ways.No. 6
– More March Style
in E≤ MajorExercise
No. 6 comprises more
rhythmic patterns and
harmonic materials in
E≤ major to teach
and reinforce the march
style. This exercise
em-phasizes the
sixteenth-note rhythm, as
notated in the third
measure of the exercise.
Young stu- dents have a
tendency to
“crush†the
sixteenths; consequently,
they lack clarity. It
would be a good idea to
work this rhythmic figure
on a scale pattern with
all of the instruments in
the band as an additional
warm-up exercise.No. 7
– The March Scale
in E≤ MajorSee the
information for No. 4 and
apply it to this
exercise. Use all of the
various articulations
described above as
well.No. 8 – March
Style in A≤
MajorSee the information
for No. 2 and apply it to
this exercise.No. 9
– Cakewalk Rhythm
in A≤ MajorSee the
information for No. 3 and
apply it to this
exercise.No. 10 –
The March Scale in
A≤ MajorSee the
information for No. 4 and
apply it to this
exercise.Other Ideas for
March PerformanceA
rehearsal practice that
has worked very well for
me is to start out by
having the band play the
march very slowly at
about Å’ = 60 in a
chorale/legato style. The
slow tempo is a fine
opportunity to work on
clarity of harmonic move-
ment and to work on the
balance and blend of the
tutti band sound. This
will pay great dividends
toward improving the
sound of your band.
Gradually increase the
tempo to the march tempo
and the articulation
style will fall right
into place.Another
important consideration
is the performance of the
bass line and the
bass-drum part. Too
often, the bass drum and
bass instruments play
their parts with equal
emphasis on both beats in
the measure. This is
incorrect, and frequently
makes the march.

Resig
nation was
composed in memory of
one of Ed Kiefer's best
friends. Evoking the
struggle of coming to
grips with the loss of a
dear friend, the piece is
based on the hymn, My
Shepherd Will Supply My
Need. It is dramatic,
heartfelt, and
overwhelmingly beautiful.

NotesThere is no possible
way I could compose a
piece of music worthy of
the memory of my close
friend, Dr. David Kirby,
who died very suddenly at
an early age. Neither
could I write a piece
that could come close to
reflecting his kind
spirit, wit, personality
or talent. In fact, it
was almost impossible for
me to write anything at
all. My own grief and the
stages of my
grief kept getting in
the way. I ended up with
a setting of the
hymn-tune, Resignation.
Resigned. To the fact
that he is no longer
with us. I know he is
in a better place, but we
are not. We miss him very
much. And so, My Shepherd
Will Supply My Need seems
to speak to those of us
he left behind. I
apologize if this piece
does not reflect your
special feelings for him
or help you celebrate his
moving on. Unfortunately,
I could only put down
what I have come to
accept and hope in some
way it may speak to any
of you that knew him or
to others of you who have
also lost a close friend.
My Shepherd Will Supply
My Need. That is my
hope and my hope for
you.Although technically
very easy, this
composition requires a
maturity of musicianship
to be performed properly.
The Bb contrabass
clarinet part is integral
to the composition, but
there are cues in the
tuba part if you need
them. Â Make sure you
bring horns to the fore
at m. 53 and the low
brass at m. 59 so the
melody can be heard
without effort.
Exaggerate dynamics to
bring more emotion to the
piece. Be careful not to
diminuendo too soon near
the end or it will be
difficult to diminish
even further at the very
end, where the lone
clarinetist holds over a
couple of measures,
fading into nothing. I
hope your students will
enjoy this piece and take
from it a greater
appreciation for the way
making music can express
feelings.

This piece was
commissioned by the
‘Concert Band
Vlamertinge’ and
is a plea for peace: the
title translates as
‘Peace on
Earth’. This is
expressed by means of the
vocal contribution
expected from the
performers. In various
places of the piece you
can recognize, the words
‘Et In Terra
Pax’ - an appeal
for peace - at first
jumbled together but
later more rhythmically
structured, developing
into synchronized massed
voices.The work starts
with a pentatonic theme
based on the notes D, E,
G, A and C (taken from
‘ConCErtbAnD
VlAmErtinGE’ and
the name of the
conductor, NiCk
VAnDEnDriessChe). A
somewhat sad melody is
developed during an
orchestral climax which
leads to the
firstexplosion of sound
(measure 62 onwards).
Suddenly the opening
measures are recaptured,
albeit with a differently
colored sound: the words
‘Et In Terra
Pax’ bring the
first movement to a
close. A restless Allegro
follows which abruptly
stops and is replaced by
a calming cho-rale-like
passage. A narrator reads
aloud the poem
‘Sonnet’ by
the young poet Charles
Hamilton Sorley, who was
killed during World War
I. This poem fittingly
puts into words the
cruelty and senselessness
of war. After the
expanded recapitulation
of the allegro, the
broad, almost infinite
atmosphere of the
beginning returns.
Clarinet and English horn
play the pentatonic
opening theme once more,
this time broadly, while
the words ‘Et In
Terra... Pax’ are
repeated again and again
by the rest of the
orchestra.The composer
has purposely avoided all
forms of aggression and
bombastic sounds
regularly used in works
about war. Fear of
violence and destruction
can be heard and felt
during the allegro
passages. The charged
opening makes way in the
end for hope: May
peacefulness replace
cruelty in everyday life,
too.

bedeutet dann auch
‘Frieden auf

unter anderem im vokalen
Anteil der
Ausführenden zum

durcheinander dann zu

die Worte ‘Et In

eine etwas traurige
Melodie. Plötzlich

Sprechstimme liest
währenddessen das

im ersten Weltkriegfiel.
Es findet für die
Grausamkeit und
Sinnlosigkeit des Krieges
die passenden Worte.
Nachdem das Allegro,

Ausbreitungen, wiederholt
wird, kehrt die weite,
beinahe unendliche
Atmosphäre des Beginns
wieder zurück.

Englischhorn das
pentatonische
Eingangsthema ein letztes

Fassung, wobei das
“Et In Terra

Rest des Orchesters stets

Komponist hat bewusst auf
jegliche Form der
Aggression oder
bombastischen Vertonung,
die in so vielen Werken
über den Krieg zu
finden ist, vermieden.
Dennoch ist die Angst vor
Gewalt und Zerstörung
vor allem in den
Allegro-Passagen deutlich
zuhören und zu
fühlen. Am Ende macht
die anfängliche
Spannung jedoch der
Hoffnung Platz: Möge
die Friedlichkeit auch im
täglichen Leben die
Grausamkeit

The Way

2015 was the 75th
anniversary of the Battle
of Britain, which took
place between July and
October 1940, when the
courageous fighter pilots
of the Royal Air
Forcethwarted
Hitler’s ambitions
to launch an invasion on
the UK. The Way to
Heaven opens with
fluttering woodwind
figures and brass
fanfares, which build to
a climax before a change
of key introduces a short
quotation for the Polish
National Anthem - Mazurek
Dbrowskiego. This fades
and you can hear
thesignal to scramble and
the throaty sounds of the
squadron’s Merlin
engines bursting into
life before they line up
to take off. This leads
to the main thematic
material of the work,
which depicts the
heaven-bound flight of
303 Squadron as it climbs
tointercept the incoming
Messerschmitt 109s. A
brief allusion to the
Polish national anthem
brings the piece to a
triumphant close.

"Four score and seven
years ago our fathers
brought forth, upon this
continent, a new nation,
conceived in liberty, and
dedicated to the
proposition that 'all men
are created equal.'"
These quotations are
symbolic of one of the
most basic of all
American tenants: that
for all people, our
nation was conceived as a
wellspring of vast
potential, a place of
immeasurable opportunity,
a land where all dreams
could take root, grow,
and flourish. America
represents a tremendous
confluence of diverse but
convergent elements and
resources. This piece
celebrates the power,
energy, and boundless
spirit created by this
convergence of cultures,
beliefs, and ideals.
