Band

Enjoy this powerful minor-key march with your young band. Its a great opportunity for the beginning group to experience playing a concert-style march with big, bold themes. Scored so that even a relatively small group can sound solid and impressive, the dynamics and articulations give you plenty to teach while the ranges and rhythms stay well within manageable limits for all players. Your students will love playing Thunderbolt Peak March. Electrifying!

This powerful musical expression with optional narration traverses many moods, from troubled to triumphant, with stirring intensity.

A bold and powerful work for young bands! The aggressive theme sets the stage for this forceful original piece. In the spirit of The Planets by Holst, Titan-Moon Of Saturn celebrates the multi-national Cassini-Huygens spacecraft that landed on Saturn's moon, Titan, on January 14, 2005. There are many questions about Titan that this daring space exploration mission will seek to answer. In addition to being a great piece for your own band, it is the perfect expression for a massed band performance. This is also a wonderful opportunity for some cross-curricular work with the science department.Mighty!
