l Coronation Dances is
the first sequel to the
Fanfare Ode & Festival,
both being settings of
dance music originally
arranged by Gervaise in
the mid 16th-century (the
next sequel is The
Renaissance Fair, which
uses music of Susato and
Praetorius). Fanfare Ode
& Festival has been
performed by many tens of
thousands of students,
both in high school and
junior high school. I
have heard that some of
them are amazed that the
music they are playing
was first played and
danced to over 400 years
ago. Some students tend
to think that music
started with Handel and
his Messiah to be
followed by Beethoven and
his Fifth Symphony, with
naught in between or
before of consequence.
Although Royal Coronation
Dances is derived from
the same source as
Fanfare Ode & Festival,
they are treated in
different ways. I
envisioned this new suite
programmatically -- hence
the descriptive movement
titles, which I imagined
to be various dances
actually used at some
long-ago coronation. The
first movement depicts
the guests, both noble
and common, flanked by
flag and banner bearers,
arriving at the palace to
view the majestic event.
They are festive, their
flags swirling the air,
their cloaks brightly
colored. In the second
movement, the queen in
stately measure moves to
take her place on the
throne as leader and
protector of the realm.
In the third movement,
the jesters of the court
entertain the guests with
wild games of sport.
Musically, there are
interesting sonorities to
recreate. Very special
attention should be given
to the tambourine/tenor
drum part in the first
movement. Their lively
rhythms give the movement
its power. Therefore they
should be played as
distinctly and
brilliantly as possible.
The xylophone and
glockenspiel add clarity,
but must not be allowed
to dominate. Observe
especially the differing
dynamics; the intent is
to allow much buzzing
bass to penetrate. The
small drum (starting at
meas. 29) should be
played expressively, with
attention to the notated
articulations, with the
brass light and detached,
especially in a lively
auditorium. It is of some
further interest that the
first dance is extremely
modal. The original is
clearly in G mixolydian
mode (scale:
G-A-B-C-D-E-F-G).
However, other editors
might put in F-sharps in
many places (changing the
piece almost to G major),
in the belief that such
ficta would have been
automatically put in by
the 16th-century
performers as they
played. I doubt it. I
have not only eschewed
these within the work,
but even at the cadences.
So this arrangement is
most distinctly modal
(listen to the F-naturals
in meas. 22 and 23, for
instance), with all the
part-writing as Gervaise
wrote it. In the second
movement, be careful that
things do not become too
glued together. In the
16th century this music
might have been played by
a consort of recorders,
instruments very light of
touch and sensitive to
articulation. Concert
band can easily sound
heavy, and although this
movement has been scored
for tutti band, it must
not sound it. It is
essential, therefore,
that you hear all the
instruments, with none
predominating. Only when
each timbre can be heard
separately and
simultaneously will the
best blend occur, and
consequently the greatest
transparency. So aim for
a transparent, spacious
tutti sound in this
movement. Especially have
the flutes, who do this
so well, articulate
rather sharply, so as to
produce a chiffing sound,
and do not allow the
quarter-notes to become
too tied together in the
entire band. The entrance
of the drums (first
tenor, then bass) are
events and as such should
be audible. Incidentally,
this movement begins in F
Major and ends in D
Minor: They really didn't
care so much about those
things then. The third
movement (one friend has
remarked that it is the
most Margolisian of the
bunch, but actually I am
just getting subtler, I
hope) again relies upon
the percussion (and the
scoring) to make its
points. Xylophone in this
movement is meant to be
distinctly audible.
Therefore, be especially
sure that the xylophone
player is secure in the
part, and also that the
tambourine and toms sound
good. This movement must
fly or it will sink, so
rev up the band and
conduct it in 1 for this
mixolydian jesting. I
suppose the wildly
unrelated keys (clarinets
and then brass at the
end) would be a good
16th-century joke, but to
us, our
put-up-the-chorus-a-half-
step ears readily accept
such shenanigans.

680160909957. Solar
Flare, by Tyler Arcari,
depicts the huge
explosion on the Sun that
appears as a sudden
bright flash. The piece
incorporates a whirlwind
of mixed meters to?depict
this phenomenon. Arcari
showcases his fresh,
exciting, and well-scored
compositional style in
this piece. Solar Flare
makes for? an excellent
concert opener. A
solar
flare is a huge
explosion on the sun that
appears as a sudden
increase in brightness or
flash. Sometimes these
explosions push large
amounts of energy and
even parts of the sun
flying out into space.
These events can be so
powerful that they cause
events on Earth such as
auroras, as well as more
serious issues like
disrupting radio and
electronic instruments.
To our naked eye, these
dangerous explosions are
beautiful and quiet. The
celestial is a
fascinating place,
hopefully captured in
some small part by this
work. About the
Work:
Solar
Flare began
as a piece with two
goals: to write a space
piece in 7/8 and to write
a teaching 7/8 space
piece. The piece uses a
2-2-3 pattern, so using
this in pre-performance
warm-ups might be
beneficial. The piece is
loosely based on a minor
second descending to a
minor third. This motif
is used at the onset of
the piece in the mallet
percussion and then again
in the woodwinds. The
melody presents itself at
m. 19 in the clarinets.
This melodic material is
varied and traded
throughout the instrument
groups until m.67.
Measures 6972 should be
treated as a transitional
fanfare to the new
material at m. 73.
Measures 99115 to the end
of the piece feature a
style similar to the
beginning that helps to
transition to m. 115,
which is the climax of
the work. An ostinato
pattern (2-2-3) is
presented with fragments
of the melody appearing
in the alto voices. This
momentum culminates in a
large, abrasive area at
m. 125 where the
suspension-resolution in
the brass and horn
melodic fragment need to
be the focus. This
momentum continuously
grows until the last note
where we resolve finally.
Care should be taken that
the ^ accent on the final
note is one meant to be
played heavy, and not
short. A solar

of the melody appearing
in the alto voices. This
momentum culminates in a
large, abrasive area at
m. 125 where the
suspension-resolution in
the brass and horn
melodic fragment need to
be the focus. This
momentum continuously
grows until the last note
where we resolve finally.
Care should be taken that
the ^ accent on the final
note is one meant to be
played heavy, and not
short. A solar flare
is a huge explosion on
the sun that appears as a
sudden increase in
brightness or flash.
Sometimes these
explosions push large
amounts of energy and
even parts of the sun
flying out into space.
These events can be so
powerful that they cause
events on Earth such as
auroras, as well as more
serious issues like
disrupting radio and
electronic instruments.
To our naked eye, these
dangerous explosions are
beautiful and quiet. The
celestial is a
fascinating place,
hopefully captured in
some small part by this
work. About the Work:
Solar Flare began as a
piece with two goals: to
write a space piece in
7/8 and to write a
teaching 7/8 space piece.
The piece uses a 2-2-3
pattern, so using this in
pre-performance warm-ups
might be beneficial. The
piece is loosely based on
a minor second descending
to a minor third. This
motif is used at the
onset of the piece in the
mallet percussion and
then again in the
woodwinds. The melody
presents itself at m. 19
in the clarinets. This
melodic material is
varied and traded
throughout the instrument
groups until m.67.
Measures 69-72 should be
treated as a transitional
fanfare to the new
material at m. 73.
Measures 99-115 to the
end of the piece feature
a style similar to the
beginning that helps to
transition to m. 115,
which is the climax of
the work. An ostinato
pattern (2-2-3) is
presented with fragments
of the melody appearing
in the alto voices. This
momentum culminates in a
large, abrasive area at
m. 125 where the
suspension-resolution in
the brass and horn

be the focus. This

minor. Taking its
title from a poem about
grief and loss by
Chrissie Pinney, Live
On honors the life of
band director Linda Mann,
to whom the piece is
dedicated. The piece
begins with a pensive
intro before shifting to
a whimsical theme that
brings about happy
thoughts of a life
well-lived. After a
return to the poignant
opening material, the
music surges to a
triumphant conclusion
based on an augmented
version of the whimsical
theme. Live On was
commissioned by Diplomat
Middle School's staff,
faculty and students, in
Cape Coral, Florida, and
is dedicated to the
memory of their Director
of Bands, Linda Mann.
Director of Orchestras,
Roland Forti, championed
the commissioning of this
piece to honor the life
of Linda after her
untimely passing in
February of
2017. Linda
Mann’s impact on
the field of music
education was profound
and wide-reaching. She
was a beloved member of
the staff at Diplomat
Middle School, as well as
the music community of
Cape Coral and the state
of Florida. Linda was
highly respected
throughout the state,
serving as recent
past-president of the
Florida Bandmasters
Association.In discussing
the type of piece the
school wanted to honor
Ms. Mann, they indicated
the piece should
“depict
Linda’s
personality: dynamic,
sassy, yet thoughtful and
almost
mentor-like.†They
wanted a piece that was
upbeat, yet still had
moments that were
thoughtful, portraying
the grief that the
Diplomat Middle School
community has suffered
from the sudden loss of
such a beloved
teacher.After
contemplating their
thoughts, I did some
research to find
inspiration for the
piece. This led me to
poetry about grief and
loss. In time, I stumbled
upon a short, yet
poignant poem that I felt
perfectly depicted the
sentiment that I wanted
the piece to convey.Â
That poem is entitled
Live On by Chrissie
Pinney.Live OnNow as I
live onWithout youI hope
to keepThe pieces of
youThat I loved so
dearlyYour mannerismsAnd
compassionate
characterAnd smiles
through struggleSo that
youMay live on
too -Chrissie PinneyI
reached out to Ms.
Pinney, and she
graciously agreed to
allow me to quote her
powerful poem in these
notes. She expressed
that she was deeply
touched that her work
would inspire me to write
a piece in honor of Linda
Mann.The piece begins
with a poignant, pensive
opening section. The use
of the musical interval
of a tritone between the
first two openly voiced
chords are used to
represent the sadness we
all feel from this type
of loss. When I sat in
front of my piano and
started to work on this
piece, my hands seemed to
naturally and immediately
play these first two
chords, which set the
process in motion of
composing the piece.After
the somber opening, the
piece shifts to a
whimsical theme that I
hope brings about happy
thoughts of Linda and her
personality. It was also
my intent, however, to
include some musical
dissonance in the theme
that still reflected the
bittersweet loss at the
same time. The piece
develops into a secondary
theme that is a quasi
inversion of the main
fast theme. This
section is followed by a
return of the opening
material, with snippets
of the fast theme
intertwined, before the
piece builds to a
triumphant, augmented
presentation of the main
theme in a lush form to
complete the work.It is
my hope that in some
small way, this piece
will bring comfort to
those affected by the
loss of Linda Mann, and
that the music will allow
her memory to Live
On.–Larry

798408084875. 9 x 12
inches. Key: Bb
major. 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. $70.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

680160909612. Every
one remembers the first
time that they saw a
snake. Though fascinating
to some and terrifying to
others, few animals are
as universally
mesmerizing. Composer
Tyler Arcari has crafted
a very fun piece making
use of auxiliary
percussion instruments to
emulate a snake's hiss or
ominous rattle. With very
strong and interesting
melodic material, and
scored to make a
developing band sound
great, this piece is sure
to be a favorite among
students. Everyone
remembers the first time
that they saw a snake.
The majority of people
have a base fear of them,
while others have a
“heebie-jeebiesâ
experience. We all
know how the great
explorer Dr. Indiana
Jones felt about snakes,
especially when he
famously fell into a
snake pit during Raiders
of the Lost Ark. However
you feel about snakes, a
pit of them certainly
sounds like an
adventure.About the
work:Snake Pit uses a lot
of auxiliary percussion
instruments. Some of
these sounds are intended
to subtly mimic the
sounds that snakes make.
The maraca in m. 4, of
course, is a
rattler’s call!
The Chinese cymbal is
intended to sound like
the “hiss†of
a not-so-friendly
serpent. The eighth-note
pattern at m. 9 is used
throughout as a
“creepyâ€
effect using dynamic
contrast so take care to
emphasize this when
present.I enjoy the gong
as a “colorâ€
instrument in the band. I
try to balance it with
the low brass. Take care
that at m. 42 the gong is
not “front-and
center†but more of
a support for the nice
accented chords in the
low brass. Also, the
trumpets can become
spaced too much here. The
accents are more for
emphasis and less
space. $60.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

680160910014. Tarta
n Tapestries is an
original piece that sets
out to emulate Scottish
folk music. Composer
Larry Clark has created a
concert overture in
triple meter to capture
the essence of music from
Scotland. After a lilting
first section, lush
and beautiful moments
weave a tapestry of
sounds with the lyrical,
middle section of the
piece. There is an
optional part for
bagpipes, and an optional
ending should you chose
to use this instrument as
part of the piece. Alert
your contest music
committee about this
strong new piece for
advancing
groups. Tartan
Tapestries was
commissioned by Friends
of the Arts for the Saint
Andrew's School Band in
Boca Raton,
Florida. The band
program at Saint
Andrew’s School is
under the direction of
Andrea Wolgin. The
premiere took place on
November 29, 2017.When I
was asked by their
conductor Ms. Wolgin to
write a piece for the
Saint Andrew’s
School, I asked her what
kind of involvement she
wanted the students to
have in the process. We
discussed several options
for having the students
involved in the process
of creating with the type
of piece they wanted.Â
We set up a
“Skypeâ€
meeting with members of
the band to discuss the
piece. During this
discussion, the consensus
of the students was that
they wanted a piece
depicting the Scottish
influence to the
school. They also
wanted a piece that would
challenge all sections of
the band and to include
bagpipes if possible. I
asked that the students
be involved in helping to
name the piece once it
was completed, for which
they agreed and were very
helpful. Armed with
this information, I set
out to compose a piece
for them, and Tartan
Tapestries is the
result.The piece begins
with a fanfare gesture
based upon rhythms and
harmonies that appear
throughout the piece. I
chose the lilting triple
feel to the piece, to
bring about the Scottish
flavor. I wanted the
fanfare to be bardic
sounding, to depict the
strength of the Scottish
people and for the piece
to have a dynamic
opening. The fanfare
contains material that
alludes to the main theme
and with a bit of
dissonance and tension
that is resolved in the
main body of the
piece.The main theme is a
lilting original melody,
but one that I hope with
have the essence of
Scottish folk songs. The
main idea is followed by
a more modal and dark
sounding secondary theme,
first stated in the
horns. This material
is later used in the
development section of
the piece. The main
theme returns several
times, with different and
varied orchestrations and
harmonic treatments. This
is followed by a short
transition leading to the
more lyrical and slower
second section of the
piece. A transparent
presentation of the
lyrical theme, which is
based on aspects of the
main theme, is presented
first by a solo flute.
This section is a nod to
famous composer Malcom
Arnold’s wonderful
works for orchestra in
its style and
orchestration. After a
transition or bridge
section with a solo
euphonium, the piece
builds to a dramatic
climax of the lyrical
theme by the full band.
This subsides to a return
of the solo flute to end
this second section of
the piece, followed by a
transition back the main
theme.The solo bagpipes
play a central role in
the return of the main
theme and take center
stage after being heard
in the distance earlier
in the work. The piece
brings back a shortened
version of the darker
secondary theme, followed
by a hint of the fanfare
material that builds to
one last statement of the
main theme by the full
band, before leading to a
dramatic coda to complete
the work.It has been my
pleasure to have been
given the opportunity to
compose this piece for
the Saint Andrew’s
School Band! I thank
Andrea Wolgin for making
it happen, and I hope
that you enjoy it as much
as I have enjoyed
bringing the piece to
life.–Larry

ram Notes: Stylistically
diverse -- tranquil,
spirited pastoral,
sensitive, energetic --
exhibiting a remarkable
palette, the five
movements of SINFONIA IX
form a unique symphonic
statement. Movement I,
Prelude, is about
contrasts: A lazy,
smooth, motive in brasses
alternates with, and then
joins, an active and
detached motive in
woodwinds. The spirited
Movement II, Morley's
Ghost, is an intricate
canonic collage and
homage to that venerable
theoretician & composer,
Thomas Morley. By
contrast, movement III,
Dialog, speaks in a
relaxed, lyrical, and
pastoral language as it
develops its gently
rising and falling
motives. Movement IV,
Waltz, innocently
celebrates the joys of
childhood with a lilting
melody and rondo form.
For the rousing Finale,
Movement V begins with a
martial call of
repeated-notes, heralding
a headstrong journey of
power and excitement.
Like a number of the
composer's other works,
SINFONIA IX is based on
earlier material: A brass
sextet, written in 1966
when the composer was
nineteen years old, forms
the raw material for the
first, third and fifth
movements, while a later
work, Martin's Waltz (a
children's piece for
flutes and clarinets
composed in 1975) is the
basis of the fourth
movement. The second
movement, however, is a
fanciful contrapuntal
commentary on Thomas
Morley's 16th-century
canzonet, Fire and
Lightning. SINFONIA IX is
dedicated to John
Raforth, a distinguished
band director and music
educator at West High
School in Madison,
Wisconsin. The work was
commissioned by his
friends and former
students, and was
completed in 1977. Its
first publication some
twenty years later is a
result of the increasing
attention paid by
university band directors
to the earlier Sinfonias,
particularly Sinfonia III
(Hymns and Dances);
Sinfonia V (Sinfonia
Sacra et Profana); and
now, Sinfonia IX. Whereas
the first two works are
wind ensemble
compositions that have
been championed equally
by the concert band,
Sinfonia IX is the
composer's first
college-level Sinfonia

concert band. Ensemble
