Band

America's musical heritage comes to life for beginning bands in this classic treatment of William Billings' famous hymn that became a marching song for the Revolutionary War.

This humorous work by emerging young composer Steven Bryant quotes and warps William Billings' famous hymn Chester in surprising and imaginative ways. Serves as a great companion piece to William Schuman's Chester, or as a light-hearted program opener.

Classic American folk tune with simple variation treatment.

You'll recognize this novelty dance from sports games around the country...it's become a fan favorite. This very playable arrangement is just some good, clean fun that'll really liven up your concert.

This witty and entertaining movie brought some amazingly strong musical themes. While paying homage to the classic WWII movie themes, kazoos and whistling are cleverly incorporated for a bit of whimsy.

Among the countless memorable movie themes penned by John Williams over his illustrious film scoring career are some of the scariest and most ominous melodies ever written. From witches and devils to Darth Vader and Voldemort to fish with big teeth, this is music that makes us cringe in a darkened theater. This fabulous medley for band includes themes from Star Wars, Harry Potter, Jaws, The War of the Worlds, Dracula and The Witches of Eastwick. (Leave the lights on!)

Everybody's favorite critter theme is the perfect change of pace for your beginning band's first holiday concert. Dur: 1:45

Here's a new twist on this Christmas novelty classic. In the middle of this well-known waltz, there is a surprise feature for kazoos! Easy to learn, this one will certainly be the talk of your concert.

The opening Chorale section of this very appealling beginning band piece introduces the theme that is then used in the Canon that follows. Skillfully designed to pass the melody to every section, this is a very rewarding piece for beginning groups. First published in 1984.

This impressive new composition by Richard Saucedo features a variety of musical styles in a contemporary sounding setting. The Chorale is written with lush scoring and emotional peaks and valleys. The driving Presto uses mixed meters and a combination of woodwind flourishes and fanfare-like brass figures. The Chorale theme is creatively woven into this section as well, and the ending section builds to an exceptionally strong and rhythmic conclusion.
