Band

In this impressive concert chorale, Claude T. Smith has created a significant addition to easy literature. And the long tones and dynamic nuances make it a great teaching or warm-up piece.

Grade 1-1.5 One of the most moving melodies ever written is this well-known theme from Holst's Jupiter(from The Planets). Paul Murtha has beautifully adapted this for the beginning level through skillful scoring and careful pacing. Dur: 1:50

Noted composer James Swearingen has majestically created a chorale prelude based on this inspirational hymn. Expressive harmonies building to a dramatic and powerfully scored ending will allow your band to sound its very best. Should you choose to add an extra touch of excitement for that special performance, this setting includes optional parts for antiphonal brass. Highly recommended!

This poignant and moving work musically tells the tale of a chorus of angels (chorus angelorum) as they accompany two souls to the next world. Composed as a memorial piece, the music evolves from the initial angels' song, their journey to heaven, and their return to comfort those who mourn. The voice parts (performed on a synthesizer or by real voices) add an ethereal quality to this wonderful work. Dur: 6:25 (Grade 3-1/2) Audio recorded by the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Wind Ensemble - Jack Stamp, conductor Samuel R. Hazo, guest conductor

Taking a similar approach to his popular Celtic Air and Dance, Michael Sweeney creatively combines two 17th-century carols (Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella and Fum, Fum, Fum) into this attractive and distinctive setting for the holidays.

Some of the best holiday music over the years has come from movie soundtracks. This unique and entertaining medley includes: The Polar Express, Somewhere in My Memory (from Home Alone) and Overture from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Sure to liven up any holiday concert!
