Seren ata is a first-year band piece with a Latin dance flavor. It is an excellent study in independent part-playing for young bands. Balance is crucial among the following parts:1. Percussion must be steady and not overpowering. The cowbell should be played with a mallet or stick that will prevent its sound from being dominant in the percussion section.2. The bass line will require a delicate staccato articulation.3. Clarinets and horns must play the ostinato beginning at m. 5 in two- or four-measure phrases. This line must always feel unbroken.4. Trumpets must also use a delicate staccato at m. 17. Straight mutes are a nice touch if the section is big enough. Cup mutes are even better. A small trumpet section may play open.5. Flutes and alto saxes should always play legato when carrying the melody.The contrasting middle section, beginning at m. 28, should be articulated smoothly by the whole band. The alternating melodic lines should have tonal contrast, but should be the same dynamically. The bass line should fade into the background at this point.A first-year band can play Serenata for their Spring Concert.Thank you for choosing this selection. I hope you and your students find it instructive and enjoyable.

Score Only. Composed by Brian Balmages. Series; String Orchestra. FJH String Orchestra. Score. Duration 4:30. The FJH Music Company Inc #98-ST6346S. Published by The FJH Music Company Inc (FJ.ST6346S).

English.

Explori ng mature harmonies while a single note lingers throughout the entire work, this powerful piece will leave you breathless. Orchestrated for strings and piano, the music moves through a series of sections that become increasingly intense, all while the note G sounds nonstop from the first measure until the final chord. The haunting sound of voices (members of the ensemble) eventually fade into a soft hum before the music reaches is final chord and ultimate resolution. Simply stunning.

Darkness Fades Away is written as an accessible song for young voices that speaks to our hopes for a kinder and more empathetic world. The melody utilizes a subtle meter change from 2 /4 to 3/4 in order to emphasize the second beat and allow it space to grow into the next note. When the optional counter-melody is introduced, the rhythm relies on an off-beat pattern, but be sure not to accent those notes. Both melody and counter-melody are meant to flow gently with a little movement throughout. Note the repeated use of a 7th (low sol to fa) to introduce the main motif. The ending section grows to its climax (m. 80-82) with optional notes for higher voices that feel comfortable in that range. After the voices echo and repeat the main theme, the rallentando and subsequent caesura (m. 104-106) allow for some freedom in direction until the piano reinforces the original tempo before itself fading away.

On Wings of Flight is a jubilant, short overture that is meant to convey the wonder of soaring high above the ground. Programmatically, it can represent either the flight of birds or aircraft. Donat be concerned if you donat have some of the lower voice color instruments such as bass clarinet, baritone saxophone, and/or bassoon. Those instruments are doubled in the low brass. Bass trombone isnat essential as it doubles tuba, but a lack or scarcity of bass trombone and/or tuba isnat critical if you do have those other low woodwinds. The repetitive eighth-note accents should be lighter than normal so the ongoing effect is more propulsive than heavy. Keep those eighth-note patterns locked into the tempo so the band refrains from unwittingly accelerating. Think of the legato accented notes as slightly separated as opposed to being slurred. When the accented whole notes surrounded by rests are played, be sure they are held out for a full four counts. Save the crescendo for m. 19 and quickly drop back down in volume at m. 21. At m. 31, the whole notes do not crescendo to the same ff volume as the melody. Those parts are to save their crescendo for m. 35. Pay attention to the instruments that do not diminuendo at m. 39. In the slower section after m. 41, be careful that the diminuendos on the half notes donat sag in pitch as the notes get softer. Trumpets and horns at m. 49 must not play their notes as accents. Give particular attention to the diminuendos in the melody at m. 56, so that they fade out as the volume of the other instruments grows. The accented notes at mm. 85 and 86 should each be heard through the volume of the rest of the instruments, so that the addition of each pitch is adequately heard. If you wish, you may place more emphasis on the accents in the last two measures of the piece than you did earlier throughout the piece.

Imagine an oasis in the desert. Far in the distance a caravan is sighted. The air is filled with excitement and anticipation, the quiet desert becoming louder and more animated as the large caravan approaches and passes. This scene is musically depicted in Larry Neeck’s Desert Caravan, which provides numerous opportunities for your band to work with melody, dynamics, and drama. Transport your audience to a faraway place, as the sounds of the camels and their herdsman slowly die away, and the caravan fades into the distance. A delightful musical journey!

A beautiful In Memoriam piece reminiscent of the composer's A Song for Friends.
