Commemorative Editions of
Claude T. Smith
Eternal Father, Strong to Save
Medium-Advanced
This may be the consummate setting of
the Navy Hymn, written for and dedicated
to the United States Navy Band for its 50th
Anniversary in 1975. Dramatic trumpet and
trombone fanfares move to an intricate
fugue based on a motive from the melody.
When the hymn appears, it is heard initially
in a most reverent scoring for horn quartet.
Finally, the opening fanfare returns, and the
arrangement builds to a great flourish for
an enthralling conclusion. A deeply-felt,
sonorous treatment of a beloved melody that
is suitable for the more mature concert band.

Flight
Medium-Advanced
Flight is the official march of the Air and
Space Museum in Washington, DC. It was
commissioned by the Air Force Band in 1984
and was premiered by the organization in
the museum in November of that year. Their
recording can be heard to this day as visitors
enter the museum. A highly descriptive
work, it incorporates the Pachelbel Canon
by request in the opening section before the
brass introduces a soaring theme. Sweeping
reeds, active percussion and melodic brass
are featured in preparation for a most
electrifying 6/8 section. Brass fanfares of
particular brilliance bring the work to its
exciting conclusion.

Emperata Overture
Medium-Advanced
This first published work of Claude T. Smith
was released in 1964. Over the ensuing years
it has become the standard of comparison
in concert band literature. The mixed meter
along with the lyrical freshness typical of
Smith ushered in a new era for composers
writing for concert band. Emperata Overture
is simply a "must" for every working band
director.

Danse Folatre
Advanced
A major virtuoso effort commissioned
by the U.S. Air Force Band to display the
exceptional capabilities of each section
of the band. To celebrate the 25th year
of its publication, the work has been re-
engraved with expanded parts and a striking
conductor's score. It remains a crown jewel
in the concert band repertoire and a tour
de force among Smith's compositions. The
vivace finale is as thrilling as any ending
you've ever conducted. It is without peer,
a truly exceptional and demanding work
designed only for the most experienced and
mature bands.

Prelude on an Early American Folk Hymn
Medium-Easy
First published in 1984, this new 30th
anniversary commemorative edition revisits
the tranquil setting of the American folk
hymn My Shepherd Will Supply My Need. It
blends piano (or harp) with string orchestra
to create a simplistic beauty that will add a
meaningful moment to any performance.

God of Our Fathers (Chorale Prelude)
Medium
One of several sacred arrangements done
by Claude, this particular setting continues
to be in strong demand. The hymn appears
in several treatments through the band
in both major and minor keys. Heavy
percussion is combined with unison brass
and contrapuntal low brass in the later
verses. Using material from the composer's
choral arrangement, a new companion
setting offers the option of performing the
work with full band and choral forces.
A highly effective and thrilling piece.

Fantasia for Alto Saxophone
Advanced
Composed in 1983 for saxophone virtuoso
Dale Underwood, this magnificent
work has become one of the premier
solo compositions of the 20th century.
Its reputation has been proven by its
appearance in conservatory curricula
and with concerto competition finalists
among young saxophonists. This edition
for saxophone and piano may be enhanced
with concert band or full orchestra
accompaniments.

Rhapsody for Trombone
Advanced
Claude Smith composed this Rhapsody in
1971 for Warren Covington, an accomplished
trombonist and leader of the Tommy Dorsey
Orchestra from 1958-1961. It represents
a remarkably creative and challenging
collaboration between two musicians, each at
the height of their artistic careers. Available
for the first time in a sparkling edition for
trombone and piano, this is unquestionably
a significant contribution to the repertoire
for the serious trombonist. A concert band
accompaniment is available on rental.
