Be Still, My Soul—arr. Robert W. Smith. Seldom
have band arrangements at this level achieved
such musical quality and expression! This beloved
and well-known hymn makes the ideal subject
for this technically easy but musically sensitive
presentation. While written for elementary bands,
the lyrical quality, full chords, and expressive nature
will benefit bands at all levels. Very nice!

Before Nightfall—Brian Bankston. A smooth,
flowing, and lyrical piece well within the reach of
your young musicians, this lush work serves as
a great teaching tool for legato style. In addition,
it serves as an opportunity to reinforce phrase
shaping and section independence. Watch your
band become more expressive each day as you
rehearse this beautiful work!

Bigfoot Stomp—Robert Buckley. Quirky and
animated, here is a unique change-of-pace
selection your band and audience will love.
According to legend, Bigfoot is a tall, hairy, ape-like
creature that lives in the wilderness and leaves huge
footprints. This music creates a vivid image of these
massive beasts gathering together and stamping
their enormous feet in a wild, barbaric dance.

l Bravo Zulu—Brian Bankston. Thank our military
veterans at your next performance with this original
march in a classic style. When the U.S. Navy flies
the Bravo and Zulu flags, it signals to all "a job
well done." The flexible instrumentation brings this
march to many ensembles. Your audience will be
saying "Bravo Zulu"!

A Builder's Dream—Adrian B. Sims. This
work details the magnitude of the spectacular
skyscrapers that fill the skylines of large cities.
Take your listeners on a tour of a building site as
the superstructure begins to take form. Grooving
rhythms and memorable melodies make this an
excellent choice for young bands!

H Celtic Air and Dance No. 2—arr. Michael
Sweeney. Written in a style similar to the popular
Celtic Air and Dance, here is another terrific
setting of Celtic tunes arranged for very young
bands. This arrangement opens with a beautiful
and flowing version of the familiar air Danny Boy.
The setting concludes with the lively Star of the
County Down featuring the percussion section
and a dance-like melody.

Celtic Air and Dance No. 5—Michael Sweeney.
Continuing the popular series of Celtic Air and
Dance settings, this work for second-year players
opens with the tender Irish ballad Ned of the Hill.
The dance segment that follows combines two
popular Irish polkas, skillfully traded between
various sections of the band. Perfect for teaching
both legato and detached styles, the Celtic style
also keeps the percussion active and engaged.

Celtic Ritual and Dance—Mekel Rogers.
Journey back to the time of the ancient Celtic
druids through the use of modal harmonies
and a variety of percussion timbres. Conveying
both mysticism and strength, the melodic ideas
weave throughout the ensemble before coming
to a powerful conclusion. Using only six notes and
simple eighth-note rhythms, this is a great piece for
young musicians.

Champion Fanfare—David Samuel. Start your
beginners' performance in an impressive manner
with this exciting concert opener. Doubling among
brass and woodwind sections simplifies teaching
while providing students with backup to build
confidence. The use of light percussion parts allows
for a stellar performance with as few as three players.

Cloud Dancing—Larry Clark. Imagine if you will
the buoyant feeling of dancing on a cloud. That's
the feeling conveyed by this whimsical work for
beginning bands. The core of the piece contains
warm harmonies that give it the "cloud" base for
the floating melodic material. It's memorably tuneful
and flowing and gives every section of the band a
moment to shine.
10616241 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .55.00
H Clouds—Anne McGinty. A unique, descriptive
work that depicts different types of clouds. Using
cluster chords and an aleatoric thunderstorm in
your percussion section, your students will have a
lot of fun with this one.

l
Coastal Storm—Victor Lopez. Consider this
high-energy original composition that captures
the essence of a coastal storm. Starting with a
mysterious flute and oboe melody, it builds from
muffled percussion to low brass as the storm
approaches - and then the menacing tempest! Feel
the intensity throughout this fun and exciting work.
Guaranteed to be a winner at your young band
concert, it's easy to both teach and learn.

H Colliding Visions—Brian Balmages. A beautiful
melody and lovely suspensions open this well-
written work. Playful themes then set the tone for
a bright allegro section. The two styles collide as
the allegro abruptly ends and the opening theme
returns, then fades to a whisper.

Colliding Visions—Brian Balmages. A beautiful
melody and lovely suspensions open this well-
written work. Playful themes then set the tone

theme returns, then fades to a whisper. This fully
adaptable version will allow bands of any size and
instrumentation to play this work.

Comet Ride—Brian Balmages. Captivate your
audience as your band grabs a ride on a comet!
This is sophisticated music for young bands, yet
accessible within their abilities. It tells a cosmic
story, from the initial sighting, to the vigorous
comet ride, to moments when the voyagers are
struck by the sheer beauty and awe of being
amongst the stars. What wonderful music to spark
your band's imagination!

l Cook Strait Crossing—Laura Estes. Based on a
true story from New Zealand, this piece presents
a wonderful opportunity for historical lesson
plans as well as material for contest and festival
performance. An ominous opening sets the stage
for expressive alto and flute soli (either can be
played as a solo). This gives way to a dignified
and pronounced theme in three with melodic
opportunities for both woodwinds and brass before
coming to a strong ending.

Creature Feature—Rob Romeyn. A young
concert band showstopper that will be the hit of
any first-year program! Each section gets to play
memorable melodic themes in this spooky, catchy
novelty tune. The sounds may be scary, but it's all
delightful fun!

l
Crossfade—Patrick Roszell. This playable musical
journey through the year 2020, when some days
seemed to fade into the next, offers a wide variety
of articulations, dynamics, and textures. In addition
to tricky rhythms, you will hear some dramatic
dissonances throughout, offering the opportunity
to teach accidentals, dissonance, and resolution as
well as ensemble balance.
11347102 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .52.00
Crossing the Rubicon—Robert Sheldon. Exotic
colors and driving rhythms portray a metaphor
of taking action from which there is no turning
back. Exploring a variety of timbres, a heartfelt
yet deliberate melody takes center stage as it is
surrounded by a wealth of rhythmic and harmonic
backdrops. Ultimately, all elements unite in a
powerful statement. A great opportunity to explore
musical concepts!

Cyclops—Joseph Compello. For first-year band
students, this work is based on the beastly, one-
eyed mythological giant. Frightful and exciting, this
composition allows ensembles to learn marcato
articulation, accents, tempo control, and balance
between sections. Use this to develop interdisciplinary
study of Greek mythology. Your young musicians will
beg to play this one in rehearsal!
11205060 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .48.00
H Dance Celebration—Robert W. Smith. This bright
number will fill your concert hall with the feeling of
celebration! Easily playable with limited ranges and
simple rhythms, this makes a great "first serious
piece" for young bands. Some bands may even
have this ready for their first concert. Well done!

Dance of the Reed Flutes—Tchaikovsky/arr.
Story. Show off your flute section in this charming
excerpt from "The Nutcracker Ballet." Mike Story's
arrangement is immensely entertaining, and
manages to fit everything into a beginning band
level. Excellent for holiday concerts, this piece is a
great flute feature at any time of the year!
2350510 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .56.00
Dance of the Tribes—Justin Harden. Inspired
by Native American culture, this is the perfect
piece to introduce your band to ostinato rhythms
and harmonies. Ritualized percussion patterns
accompany flowing lyrical melodies shared
throughout the ensemble. With additional
opportunities to vocalize for the wind players,
this programmatic work is an excellent
educational choice.
11207590 Band Set & Score . . . . . . . . . .50.00
Dance Slav—Jack Wilds. Inspired by 19th- and
20th-century dance pieces, this energetic and
spirited work uses only six notes yet sounds like so
much more! The notes and rhythms fall into place
quickly so beginning students can focus on a variety
of dynamics and articulations. The optional closing
accelerando adds to the thrills as the piece comes
to a smashing conclusion.
