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.

La Traviata
is one of the most

Giuseppe Verdi.The story
of the opera depicts the
conflict between free

Alfredo and the Parisian
courtesan Violetta fall
in love with each other.
They are happy together
for a while, but Violetta
gives up Alfredo, at the
request of his father, to
save the honor of his
family. Only when
it’s too late are
the two reunited, with
Violetta suffering from
tuberculosis and dying in

The tune Old
Hundredth is one of
the best-known melodies
in all Christian musical
traditions and first
appeared in the 1551
psalter Pseaumes Octante
Trois de David, where it
is used as a setting for
a version of Psalm 134;
it is usually attributed
to the French composer
Louis Bourgeois (c.1510 -
c.1560). The melody was
then used in 1561 by the
Scots clergyman, William
Kethe in Sternhold and
Hopkins’ Psalter
for his paraphrase of
Psalm 100 - All People
that on Earth do
Dwell<(I>, which is still
the most familiar hymn
sung to this noble tune.
When Tate and
Brady’s New
Version of the Psalms was
published in 1696, the
melody became know as the
‘old’
version - henceits
current title. This
arrangement presents
three contrasting verses
and is effective as a
concert piece as well as
an instrumental interlude
as part of a church
service or wedding.
De melodie van
Old Hundredth is
een van de bekendste in
alle christelijke
muziektradities, ze
verscheen voor het eerst
in Pseaumes Octante
Trois de David uit
1551. De muziek wordt
meestal toegeschreven aan
de Fransecomponist Louis
Bourgeois
(ca.1510-ca.1560). In
1561werd de melodie
gebruikt door de Schotse
geestelijke William Kethe
voor zijn parafrase van
psalm 100. Later werd de
melodie in Engeland
bekend als de
‘oude’
versie - daar komt ookde
huidige titel vandaan.
Dit arrangement, met drie
contrasterende
coupletten, is geschikt
als concertwerk of als
instrumentaal tussenspel
tijdens een kerkdienst of
huwelijksceremonie. Old Hundtredth
ist eine der bekanntesten
Melodien aller
christlichen
Musiküberlieferunge
n. Es erschien erstmals
in dem Psalter
Pseaumes Octante Trois
de David von 1551, wo
es als Satz für
zwei Psalmen verwendet
wurde. Diese Bearbeitung
präsentiert drei
kontrastierende Strophen
und kann sehr
wirkungsvoll sowohl als
Konzertwerk als auch als
instrumentales
Zwischenspiel in einem
Gottesdienst oder
während einer
Hochzeitszeremonie
eingesetzt
werden.

Composer/arr
anger Sean O'Loughlin has
provided a refreshing new
setting of our National
Anthem. It was originally
written for orchestral
brass and percussion and
has been performed at
both MLB and NBA events.
The arrangement begins
with a bold fanfare to
set the tone, but also to
provide the motive glue
to hold the arrangement
together and create
something unique.
Creative harmonic usage
and colorful
orchestration really make
this version stand out
from the rest. There
have been many great
arrangements of our
National Anthem
throughout the years .
The responsibility of
creating one that truly
brought something new to
the mix was very daunting
. I was fortunate enough
to get an opportunity to
write this version for
the Oregon Symphony Brass
Section to perform at the
Portland Trail Blazers
NBA games . Subsequent
performances have
occurred with the
Baltimore Symphony at the
Baltimore Orioles MLB
games . At this time, it
is my supreme honor to
adapt this for the
advanced concert band .In
bringing something new, I
decided to start with a
bold fanfare to set the
tone for this great music
. Introducing some more
dissonant harmonies also
created a more intense
feel .The first stanza
includes a flowing
counter line in the horns
and alto saxophones . The
trumpets interject some
flourishes on the second
pass to further the
intensity . These
flourishes continue
“ . . . when the
rockets red glare!â€
The final push at m . 29
is colored with pulsating
16th notes in the
woodwinds that lead to
some dramatic harmony at
the fermata in m . 32 .
The opening fanfare then
returns to let everyone
know that it's time to
“Play
ball!â€.

rine Trail is a
concert march for
beginning bands and is
rather helpful in
introducing beginners to
the march form and style.
This piece is based in
the key of Eb major and
uses only the first seven
notes taught in most
method books. It is also
rhythmically accessible
to beginners, as simple
eighth-note combinations
are the most difficult
rhythms in this march.
The piece follows
standard march form
except that is does not
modulate at the trio
section. When writing
this piece, I was
thinking of my beginning
band students at Polk
County Middle School. Our
school is located at the
foothills of the
Appalachian Mountains and
is surrounded by dense
pine forests. The mascot
of our school is rather
fittingly the wolverine;
hence, our school is
located on the street
named “Wolverine
Trail.†Learning to
be a musician is not an
easy trial, as it
requires hard work,
dedication, and
endurance. However, the
trail to becoming a
musician is full of
rewarding and
breathtaking experiences.

was inspired by the
rugged beauty of our
school’s location

African-American song
from the 19th century,
entitled God Put a

Carol Brittin Chambers
was inspired by poetic
Maya Angelou to create of

will highlight the
musicianship of your

serve as a welcome change
of pace piece on your

directed by Shauna
Satrom. The piece
premiered in May 2017, in
memory and celebration of
Luis Ham, who was an
Assistant Principal at
Pflugerville Middle
School.This piece is
based on an old
traditional spiritual,
possibly an
African-American song
from the nineteenth
century, entitled God Put
a Rainbow in the Clouds.
The first time I heard
reference to this song
was in a Maya Angelou
video, in which she sings
a portion of it:
“When it looked
like the sun
wouldn’t shine
anymore, Oh, God put a
rainbow in the
clouds.†In the
video, Dr. Angelou honors
those who have
demonstrated kindness to
her in the past, and she
suggests that we all try
to be a blessing to
others. The Pflugerville
community believed that
Mr. Ham, with his
positive outlook, was
definitely a
“rainbow in the
clouds†for other
people.The piece begins
with a full ensemble
introduction, followed by
a woodwind treatment of
the first verse with a
fairly reserved tempo and
straight eighth-note
rhythm. When brass pick
up the melody on the
second phrase, we start
to hear the song more
like the original
spiritual, with
dotted-eighth, sixteenth
rhythms. The middle
section of the piece at
m. 22 begins to move at a
slightly quicker tempo,
and the mood becomes
lighter. This section
becomes a
call-and-response between
a euphonium solo and
upper woodwinds. The
final section of the
piece involves everyone
playing together joyously
and full, eventually
winding down with two
more solo statements in
flute and euphonium.Note
to the Conductor:Use this
piece to introduce or
reinforce the following
musical concepts:Lyrical,
expressive playing varied

Amber
moons are beautiful and
rare full moons, created
when the sun is high in
the sky and directly
opposite the moon. Amber
Moon begins with an
opening fanfare, then
moves into the first
theme based on this
fanfare. A second
statement of the theme is
repeated softly, followed
by a lyrical secondary
theme in the woodwinds.
Variations follow this
statement, and
cyclically, like the
comings and goings of the
Moon and Sun, the piece
concludes with a return
to the initial
theme. Amber moons are
very beautiful and rare
full moons, created when
the sun is high in the
sky and directly opposite
the moon. They appear
unusually large and low
on the horizon with a
deep, rich honey color
and are believed to be
signs of blessing and
good luck. Â Amber Moon
begins with an opening
fanfare, then moves into
a first theme based on
this fanfare. A second
statement of the theme is
repeated softly, followed
by lyrical second theme

piece.I enjoyed writing

Rainb

based on an old

from the 19th century,

As
the title implies, this
piece is written in a
contemplative manner for
beginning students.Â
It is a good piece to
demonstrate basic
compositional techniques
that the students will be
able identify easily in
the piece. It begins with
a lush opening section
with an elegant melody to
work on musicianship.
This is contrasted by the
uptempo section of the
piece based on the same
basic musical material,
but in a varied style and
frolicking feel. A very
satisfying piece for
beginning wind
players. Contemplation
: the action to look
thoughtfully at something
for a long time.When
composing music that will
be used with younger
students, I want to
stimulate thoughtfulness
in them. In this
particular piece I want
the students to be able
to stretch their
musicianship beyond their
experience on their
instruments to play in a
contemplative
manner. To me, this is
the essence of musical
playing in an emotional
and thoughtful way. It is
something that cannot be
stressed enough, even in
students that have just
begun to play. As soon
as possible, they should
be asked to put
themselves into the music
and make it more than the
notes and rhythms on the
page.This piece is my
attempt to provide very
young students, who are
just beginning their
musical journey, with
something they can reach
technically, but have to
stretch for
musically. The amount
of notes and rhythms
is limited, but students
should strive for beauty
of tone, good phrasing
and emotional
involvement.After a short
introduction, the
heartfelt main theme
begins at a lyrical and
slow tempo. This is
developed with the
addition of a secondary
theme, featuring the
lower voices, before the
piece leads to an Allegro
section that is based on
the same musical material
with a difference in
tempo and a variation in
rhythm patterns. The
piece can serve to show
students that the same
basic music can have an
entirely different
emotional connection with
differences in tempo,
rhythm and style, with
the first section of the
piece being sentimental
and the faster section
being more joyous in
nature. As with all
of my pieces for younger
students, it is
completely acceptable to
me for you to adjust the
tempo to fit the
educational needs of your
students.It has been my

The tune Old
Hundredth is one of
the best-known melodies
in all Christian musical
traditions and first
appeared in the 1551
psalter Pseaumes Octante
Trois de David, where it
is used as a setting for
a version of Psalm 134;
it is usually attributed
to the French composer
Louis Bourgeois (c.1510 -
c.1560). The melody was
then used in 1561 by the
Scots clergyman, William
Kethe in Sternhold and
Hopkins’ Psalter
for his paraphrase of
Psalm 100 - All People
that on Earth do
Dwell<(I>, which is still
the most familiar hymn
sung to this noble tune.
When Tate and
Brady’s New
Version of the Psalms was
published in 1696, the
melody became know as the
‘old’
version - henceits
current title. This
arrangement presents
three contrasting verses
and is effective as a
concert piece as well as
an instrumental interlude
as part of a church
service or wedding.
De melodie van
Old Hundredth is
een van de bekendste in
alle christelijke
muziektradities, ze
verscheen voor het eerst
in Pseaumes Octante
Trois de David uit
1551. De muziek wordt
meestal toegeschreven aan
de Fransecomponist Louis
Bourgeois
(ca.1510-ca.1560). In
1561werd de melodie
gebruikt door de Schotse
geestelijke William Kethe
voor zijn parafrase van
psalm 100. Later werd de
melodie in Engeland
bekend als de
‘oude’
versie - daar komt ookde
huidige titel vandaan.
Dit arrangement, met drie
contrasterende
coupletten, is geschikt
als concertwerk of als
instrumentaal tussenspel
tijdens een kerkdienst of
huwelijksceremonie. Old Hundtredth
ist eine der bekanntesten
Melodien aller
christlichen
Musiküberlieferunge
n. Es erschien erstmals
in dem Psalter
Pseaumes Octante Trois
de David von 1551, wo
es als Satz für
zwei Psalmen verwendet
wurde. Diese Bearbeitung
präsentiert drei
kontrastierende Strophen
und kann sehr
wirkungsvoll sowohl als
Konzertwerk als auch als
instrumentales
Zwischenspiel in einem

Festival
March is presented in a
new edition arranged by
Richard Summers. It is a
tour de force composition
for advanced bands and
hearkens back to a bygone
era during the golden age
of the band movement.
Directors and students
will hear operatic music
from composer Victor
Herbert who is best known
for his Christmas
classic, Toyland. This
is a richly scored
masterpiece that deserves
to return to standard
status in concert band
repertoire. We are proud
to bring you this new
setting of this cherished
classic. Festival
March by Victor Herbert
was written for the
Pittsburgh Symphony and
first performed under
Herbert’s
direction in Chicago on
Dec. 9, 1901 celebrating
the 12th anniversary
of Chicago’s
Auditorium Theatre. Also
known as the Auditorium
Festival March, he
included it many times
for programs of a
festival nature. The main
theme Auld Lang Syne, a
famous Scottish folk
song, is incorporated
many times along with
brass fanfares,
interludes and march
melodies. This band
arrangement is very
similar to the original
orchestral composition.
The missing string parts,
the addition of the
saxophone section and
other band instruments,
editing of the
superimposed triplets
against
sixteenth notes, to
one or the other, and
articulations suitable
for the band, were major
challenges. The style of
early twentieth-century
American music is
captured here. This
arrangement will give
band musicians access to
a fine piece of music
that could only be
appreciated by orchestra
musicians up to now.
Although suitable for
many occasions, this
piece is a great way to
begin or end a December
holiday concert.
 Notes to the
ConductorVictor
Herbert’s music
can be interpreted in a
romantic style, which is
the conductor’s
responsibility to read in
nuance and musicality.
The beginning and other
triple-tonguing sections
of this piece have a
March of the Toys quality
to it. Â The interludes
and Auld Lang Syne
sections are legato and
musical. The March
sections can also be
shaped musically.About
the ComposerVictor
Herbert was born in
Ireland in 1861 and
raised in Germany. When
he moved to America in
1886, he joined the
Metropolitan Opera as
principal cellist and
eventually composed many
works including
forty-three operettas
on Broadway from the
1890s to World War I,
including Naughty
Marietta and Babes in
Toyland. Victor Herbert
conducted the Pittsburgh
Symphony from 1898 to
1904 and then was the
conductor of his own
Victor Herbert Orchestra.
He formed ASCAP with a
group of composers in
1914 and was the director
until his death in 1924.
Among his thirty-one
compositions for
orchestra, Festival March
was a favorite of his and
was eventually published
by Carl Fischer Music.

Quest
for the Throne evokes
images of kings and
castles, knights and
horses, and dragons in
all their glory. It is
a bold and aggressive
piece throughout, but
includes a contrasting,
lush secondary theme for
variety. In his typical
style, Clark has used
forceful figures, and
strong melodic content to
give students music
they'll want to practice
and play again and
again. This piece
should depict images of
kings and castles, knight
and horses, dragons and
damsels in distress. It
should be bold and
aggressive throughout,
but never with bad
tone. This is then
contrasted by the lush
second theme that is
presented first in a
softer thin
orchestration, but later
becomes a change for the
whole ensemble to play in
a strong, but lush
presentation of this
theme.One thing that is
important to me when
writing music for younger
students is to offer
pieces that challenge all
students in the ensemble
and give every section an
important part of the
musical presentation,
which naturally should
include some melodic
material. Every member
of the ensemble wants to
feel that they are
contributing to the
collective whole.It has
been my pleasure to have
the opportunity to write
this piece. I hope you
and your students enjoy
it and find it useful for
your
program.—Larry

for the band, were major
challenges. The style of
early twentieth-century
American music is
captured here. This
arrangement will give
band musicians access to
a fine piece of music
that could only be
appreciated by orchestra
musicians up to now.
Although suitable for
many occasions, this
piece is a great way to
begin or end a December
holiday concert.
 Notes to the
ConductorVictor
Herbert’s music
can be interpreted in a
romantic style, which is
the conductor’s
responsibility to read in
nuance and musicality.
The beginning and other
triple-tonguing sections
of this piece have a
March of the Toys quality
to it. Â The interludes
and Auld Lang Syne
sections are legato and
musical. The March
sections can also be
shaped musically.About
the ComposerVictor
Herbert was born in
Ireland in 1861 and
raised in Germany. When
he moved to America in
1886, he joined the
Metropolitan Opera as
principal cellist and
eventually composed many
works including
forty-three operettas
on Broadway from the
1890s to World War I,
including Naughty
Marietta and Babes in
Toyland. Victor Herbert
conducted the Pittsburgh
Symphony from 1898 to
1904 and then was the
conductor of his own
Victor Herbert Orchestra.
He formed ASCAP with a
group of composers in
1914 and was the director
until his death in 1924.
Among his thirty-one
compositions for
orchestra, Festival March
was a favorite of his and
was eventually published
by Carl Fischer Music.
