Bigfoot Stomp is a quirky, animated piece that is a unique change of pace for your band and audience. According to legend, Bigfoot is a tall, hairy, ape-like creature that lives in the wilderness of Northwest America and leaves huge footprints. This music imagines a group of them gathering together and stamping their massive feet in a wild, barbaric dance.

In the style of a country hoedown, this tune is foot-stomping and knee-slapping fun. The piece includes rollicking eighth-note and sixteenth-note figures that should be played vigorously and with strict attention to dynamics. A great piece to add some var.

Behind the telling title is an enthralling melody and an infectious rhythm. Add into the mix clapping hands and stomping feet and it’s a complete success. To keep the musicians’ hands (and feet) free to play, the audience is invited to clap and stompalong!

Achter de veelzeggende titel Clap Your Hands and Stamp Your Feet gaat een pakkende melodie in een aanstekelijk ritme schuil. Voeg aan deze combinatie van elementen het klappen in de handen en stampen met de voeten toe, en een succesformule isgeboren. Om de handen (en voeten) van de muzikanten vrij te houden voor het bespelen van de instrumenten, kunt u het publiek inschakelen om mee te stampen en te klappen!

Hinter dem vielsagenden Titel Klatsch in die Hände und stampf mit den Füßen“ verbirgt sich eine packende Melodie in einem ansteckenden Rhythmus. Fügt man dieser Kombination noch Händeklatschen und Fußstampfen hinzu, ist der Erfolg perfekt! BeimHändeklatschen und Stampfen darf dann gerne das Publikum mithelfen!

Derrià ¨re le titre révélateur de Clap Your Hands (Battez des mains) se trouve une mélodie captivante animée d’un rythme contagieux. Ajoutez cette ligne mélodique des battements de mains et des tapements de pieds, et il en résulte une recetteparfaite. Pour que les mains (et les pieds) des musiciens restent libres de jouer, le public est invité battre et taper en même temps !

L’eloquen te titolo Clap Your Hands and Stamp Your Feet (Batti le mani e batti i piedi) nasconde una melodia trascinante, dal ritmo contagioso.

Avalon� ��Long Live the King is a medieval fantasy piece depicting the Isle of Avalon where the mystical sword Excalibur of King Arthur was forged. Composer Tyler Arcari unearths a solid piece for young bands that is both bold and dramatic. This piece is sure to spark the imagination of students and give them strong musical content with which they can develop their musicianship.
Program Notes:Avalon–Long live the King began its journey as a commission in honor of a dear friend and mentor. David Riggs is one of those band directors that just seems timeless. He is a powerhouse with such a stacked resume that it is easy to forget that at the end of the day he enjoys taking long bike rides with his lovely wife and whittling a piece of wood just as much as being a band director. He has touched so many lives and inspired so many people in our field and beyond. I was humbled, and honored, when I was contacted for the commission. To David, I hope that you one day know how much you mean to so many people, including myself.About the piece:The piece is written with a little homage to David’s long tenure at Avalon Middle school in Pace, Florida. He was certainly treated like a king as the band director and rightly so. It seemed only fitting to add a little medieval fantasy. Avalon is a mystical island in the world of King Arthur where the great sword Excalibur was forged.The piece begins lyrically with a slow introduction with melodic material. This melodic motive is used throughout with slight variations depending on the instrument voicing etc. Care should be taken at m. 10 that the Timpani roll helps to bridge our transition from an exposed section to full tutti. Care should be taken so that the tempo change at m. 19 is brisk and avoids the low brass turning into stomping. Accessories like the China cymbal and tambourine can become overpowering. I recommend having students think of these effects as background in order to make sure they don’t POP out. The dynamic changes at mm. 27-35 should be subito similar to orchestral dynamic changes. Avoid unwritten crescendos in this section. Measures 60–64 are a great opportunity to teach those unwritten dynamics that make music so enjoyable as we lead up to the finale. It was originally left blank for some theatrics in the premiere at David’s retirement concert so I know he would enjoy adding some Cholesterol as David would say.Long Live the King!

Sure. To the kids it’s about Little Miss Muffet and a surprise visit from her friendly local spider.But to you, the director, it’s REALLY about the “new” note called concert E-natural. Whatever method book you are using, once concert E-natural has been introduced, the band will be ready to play this one. The students will have fun with foot stomping and Miss Muffet’s scream, while you enjoy watching your students get better and better at playing concert E-natural and concert E-flat at the right times.EEEEEEEEK!

V oor (jonge) muzikanten en hun publiek is dit een grappig stuk over een spin die een verschrikte dame met een onverwacht bezoekje vereert. Voor de dirigent is dit een stuk om met name de toon E met het orkest te oefenen. Terwijl despelers en toehoorders veel plezier beleven met originele elementen zoals stampen en gillen, weet de dirigent dat de jonge muzikanten steeds zekerder worden in het afwisselen van de E en de Es. IEKS!

Als sich die kleine Miss Muffet zum Tee niederließ, konnte sie nicht ahnen, dass sie bald Gesellschaft von einer Spinne bekommen würde, sonst hätte sie sicher für sie mit gedeckt... Mike Hannickel vertonte ein bekanntes englisches Kindergedicht über eine Spinne zu einem einfachen, aber reizvollen Stück, das Jung und Alt bezaubern wird!

Cette œuvre espiègle et fantaisiste de Mike Hannickel raconte l’histoire rocambolesque de Madame Fil qui reçoit la visite surprise de son amie Araignée. Que peuvent-elles bien se raconter ? vous de tisser la toile.

2011 was a disastrous year for Japan: on March 11 the northeast of the country suffered a violent earthquake, which triggered a huge tsunami and caused massive damage to people and the environment. The ensuing problems with the nuclear reactor at Fukushima only increased the misery: a black day in the country’s history…One almost inevitable consequence of such dramatic circumstances is the particular damage suffered by the cultural arts. And so it was in Japan: various high school wind orchestras in the effected areas lost their practice rooms and/or instruments. It will take a long time before the damage suffered is repaired—and it will take great effort to overcome thepsychological effects, too. Focusing on the latter, Yutada Nishida (director of The Bandwagon radio program) asked a few composers for a simple work that could be played by many orchestras. It just so happened that the Osakan Philharmonic Winds (with whom Jan Van der Roost had conducted a concert exclusively of his own works on September 25th) had had a similar idea. This concert saw the baptism of Song of Hope. This piece immediately struck a chord with musicians and audience alike: it begins bleakly in the low register and evolves to a more open, optimistic close. There really is hope for better times!

2011 was een rampzalig jaar voor Japan: op 11 maart teisterde een hevige aardbeving het noordoosten van het land, bracht een enorme tsunami teweeg en veroorzaakte zeer grote schade aan mens en natuur. De daaruit voortvloeiende problemenmet de kernreactor van Fukushima maakten de ellende nog groter: een zwarte pagina in het bestaan van het land ... Dat in dergelijke dramatische omstandigheden ook (en vooral) het culturele bestel een flinke knauw krijgt, ishelaas een haast onvermijdelijke consequentie. Zo ook in Japan: verschillende high school bands in de getroffen regio verloren hun repetitieruimte en/of instrumenten: het zal lang duren voordat de geleden schade is hersteld - enhet zal ook moeite kosten om er mentaal weer bovenop te geraken. Met het oog op dat laatste aspect verzocht Yutaka Nishida (samensteller van het radioprogramma The Bandwagon) een paar componisten om een eenvoudig werkje te schrijvendat speelbaar is door een groot aantal orkesten. Als bij toeval kwam een dergelijk verzoek eveneens van de kant van de OSAKAN Philharmonic Winds, waarmee Jan Van der Roost op 25 september een concert dirigeerde, uitsluitend gewijdaan eigen werken. Daar werd Song of Hope dan ook ten doop gehouden en het werkje sloeg meteen aan bij uitvoerders en publiek: na een tamelijk donkere start in het lage register evolueert het tot een optimistischer en opener slot.Er is inderdaad hoop op betere tijden!

Am 11. März 2011 löste ein heftiges Erdbeben in Japan einen riesigen Tsunami mit desaströsen Folgen für Mensch, Natur auch das kulturelle Leben. Yutaka Nishida vom Radioprogramm The Bandwagon bat daher einige Komponisten, darunter Jan Van der Roost, ein einfaches, für viele Orchester spielbares Werk zu schreiben. Song of Hope beginnt düster im tiefen Register, um sich dann zu einem optimistischeren Schluss hin zu entwickeln. Es gibt sie, die Hoffnung auf bessere Zeiten... !

2011 fut une année tragique pour le Japon : le 11 mars, le nord-est du pays connut un violent tremblement de terre qui entraîna un gigantesque tsunami, occasionnant de nombreuses pertes humaines et de gros dég ts environnementaux. La catastrophe du réacteur nucléaire de Fukushima ajouta encore ces malheurs : une période bien sombre de l’histoire du pays…Des événements aussi dramatiques ont souvent un impact négatif sur les arts culturels. Ce fut le cas au Japon : plusieurs orchestres d’harmonie des collèges des régions affectées perdirent leurs locaux de répétition et/ou leurs instruments. Il faudra beaucoup de temps pour que les choses reviennent la normale - et pour estomperles cicatrices psychologiques. S’intéressant particulièrement celles-ci, Yutada Nishida (directeur du programme radiophonique The Bandwagon) demanda quelques compositeurs d’écrire une œuvre simple pouvant être interprétée par de nombreux orchestres.Il se trouva que l’Harmonie Philharmonique d’Osaka (que Jan Van der Roost avait dirigée lors d’un concert exclusivement composé de ses œuvres, le 25 septembre) avait eu la même idée. Ce concert vit la création mondiale de Song of Hope, qui interpella immédiatement les musiciens et l’auditoire. Cette pièce débute sombrement dans le registre grave avant d’évoluer vers une conclusion plus pétillante, plus optimiste. Il est assurément permis d’espérer des temps meilleurs !

Il 2011 è stato un anno tragico per il Giappone; al devastante terremoto e al non meno catastrofico tsunami dell’11 marzo, sono seguiti i gravi problemi al reattore nucleare di Fukushima. Il settore della cultura in generale, e quello della musica in particolare hanno sofferto immensamente a causa di questi nefasti eventi naturali. Song of Hope è un brano che ha profondamente commosso esecutori e pubblico.Song of Hope inizia nel registro acuto con suoni oscuri e melanconici, ma si sviluppa in un clima di ottimismo, come a voler simboleggiare un futuro più sereno.

Using just six notes, this intense work evokes the power and ferocity of an active Indonesian volcano! After an epic opening, bold melodic lines intertwine with moments of clapping and stomping while an array of percussion colors paint a vivid picture of the 1815 Mount Tambora eruption and the tragic aftermath.

Composer Rudgers here draws a delightful fantasy treatment from the mid-1800's folk song about grizzled old mountain man Dan Tucker. Opening aggressively with a short fanfare based on the main melodic motive of the song, the work soon segues into a tender, beautifully harmonized ballad. This lyrical section gives way to a hoedown replete with a foot-stomping, hand-clapping section that is fun for all players. Don't miss this highly creative and entertaining take on a classic piece of Americana!
