By David Shaffer. Intermediate Wind Band/Ensemble. FJH Developing Band. This piece captures the feeling of exhilaration upon reaching the summit of a mountain. The opening three measures should be intense, immediately slowing to a mysterious woodwind choir. Measure 13 begins the musical assent, which culminates in the final moments of the work. It is important to observe indicated tempos in order to capture the energy of the music. Percussion offers a large selection of timbres with the utilization of accessories.

By Brian Balmages. Intermediate Wind Band/Ensemble. FJH Developing Band. So what would it be like if someone could actually grab on to one of these comets and take a ride through the solar system? Comet Ride seeks to convey that very feeling. The opening bold section describes the sighting of the comet and builds as it gets closer and closer. The piece then takes off, launching a wild comet ride filled with excitement and energy. Eventually, the sheer beauty and awe of outer space becomes the focus of the work before the piece builds once again into a final roller coaster of excitement. Score for this title: B1291S.

March Ponderoso, composed in 1910, is representative of a King march at a higher level of difficulty. The introduction is an immediate test of the technique of the low brass players. The first strain contains melodic materials in trumpet, clarinet, & flute, scored against wonderful euphonium countermelodies. The trio is an ideal vehicle for showcasing the melodic capabilities of the euphonium and clarinet sections. The break strain, from the standpoint of technique, represents one of great difficulty for all players. A sweeping scale passage in both euphonium and French horns leads the band into the final driving strain. March Ponderoso is dedicated to Mr. Otto Bohlen, Clarinetist, of Canton, Ohio.

By Rob Grice. Intermediate Wind Band/Ensemble. FJH Developing Band. During the war of 1812 after much of Washington had been destroyed, the British army proceeded toward the Baltimore harbor, which was guarded by Fort McHenry. To block the ensuing army, American troops had sunk several ships to barricade the entry into the harbor. This forced the British to bombard Fort McHenry from a great distance. On the night of September 13, American prisoners on a British ship watched the fire in the night sky as the British army bombarded Fort McHenry. After many hours of continuous bombing, the British decided to leave, unable to destroy the fort. Score for this title: B1304S. Extra part for this title: B1304P. Concert Band. Level: 1.5.

The simple melody of this famous hymn is treated to lush harmonizations and searing emotion. In this arrangement, the tune is heard in its entirety three times, each time becoming more impassioned. Between each iteration of the hymn, the composer includes original material that serves to bridge the ardent treatment of the multiple verses. After a change of key, the climax of the work is delayed and extended before the music evaporates back into its simplest and purest form. Amazing Grace is a wonderful vehicle for increasing the musicality of the young intermediate band.
