Band

Here is a unique and striking work using contemporary percussion techniques, unmeasured sections, and dramatic musical effects. Strong brass fanfares, woodwind flourishes and short canonic statements lead to an uptempo rhythmic ostinato that builds steadily by layering rhythms and melodies. A brief slower section features solos for horn and flute before returning to the fast tempo and exuberant finish. (6:25)

Written with a dramatic blend of thundering percussion, intense brass proclamations, and woodwind flourishes, Samuel Hazo expands the fanfare format into a truly powerful setting for wind band. Equally effective for contest use or any festive occasion. Dur: 4:30 (Includes full performance CD)

A long standing favorite in the band repertoire, Verdi's famous opus, best known as the Manzoni Requiem is now available in this new version, designed for playability by most high school groups. Jay Bocook has retained the essence of the original by carefully placing the challenging, technical material in the skilled sections of the band (flute, 1st clar., alto sax). From the hard driving, signature opening with the solo bass drum, to the triumphant trumpet calls of the finale, this is classic literature your band should experience.

This stunning feature movie from the Walt Disney studios features a wealth of musical styles from quiet sensitive moments to fierce, dramatic excitement.

From the heart of the '70's, three of pop music's biggest hits are combined into a non-stop, 125 beats per minute medley that your students will love. It includes the Village Peoples' YMCA, the Bee Gee's Stayin' Alive, and Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive.

The current dance craze sweeping the nation is evidence enough that disco, in fact, never died. This energetic medley includes the hits Stayin' Alive (the Bee Gees), I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor), and Y.M.C.A. (the Village People). Hal Leonard's innovative Flex-Band series is designed to provide exciting music for bands with incomplete or unbalanced instrumentation. Written using just five parts (plus percussion), these arrangements will work with virtually ANY combination of brass or woodwinds - even strings. Dur: 5:00
