l Celtic Wedding—Jeremy Bell. This beautiful
and challenging work includes Celtic styles
such as the strathspey and jig, and incorporates
idiomatic rhythms and orchestral colors to

song of the 1880's arranged as a tarantella and set
for the full resources of the modern concert band.
It has the feel of a classic European concert march
with tremendous appeal and a variety of performance
uses. This is perfect as an encore selection!

Woodcutter (Kyehwa) and Movement 3 Celebration
on Halla Mountain (Nuhyoung Nahyoung).

Mountain Thyme—Samuel R. Hazo. Written
as a musical memorial, this beautifully emotional
setting is a reworking of the traditional folk song

Mountain Thyme, by Scottish writer Robert
Tannahill. With a varied tapestry of colors,
textures and dynamics, this stunning musical
work takes full advantage of the depth and power
of the modern wind band.

Concert Marches
Beginning Band
& Very Easy
l Achieve—Larry Clark. March style is a very
important part of band heritage and this well written
original allows the youngest musicians to perform
it with great results. Using only the first six notes of
the B flat scale and basic rhythms no harder than
repeated eighth notes, the composer has created
an upbeat and energetic work that is impressive,
entertaining and, above all, educational.

rhythms and tuneful phrases, and Larry Clark's

H American Spirit March—John Higgins. Written
with patriotic flair and plenty of solid ensemble
scoring, this John Higgins original makes a fabulous
first march for any young band! Short feature spots
for woodwinds and percussion, and good fanfare-

intervals make this a wonderful teaching tool too.
Well done!

opening number for your young band's first concert!

Best Friends Forever (March)—Joseph Compello.
Stately and noble, this original march will
have young bands sounding impressive and
accomplished. Two melodies are played at the
same time to begin, then separately by groups of
instruments, making it easy to learn and perform.
Performed at an easy gait, it makes a very pleasant
listening experience.

H Forward March!—Paul Murtha. Here's a snappy
little march that your drummers are just going to
love! They get a spotlighted percussion break, and
there's also a nice "trio" melody for clarinets, strong
melodic writing with easy counterlines and a strong
full band finish. Bright, invigorating and reminiscent
of some of the great classical marches, this is a
strong choice for your beginners!

The Gladiator—John Philip Sousa/arr. Michael
Story. Composed in 1886 by "The March King"
himself, this familiar bold march is a real treat.
Retaining Sousa's original intent, the theme
incorporates light staccato notes in addition to full-
value quarter notes, all in the appealing march style
for which he's so well known. A great teaching and
performance choice!
