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.

Clock Tower—Richard Summers. Beginning
and ending with Westminster Chimes, this easy
band piece contains many musical and technical
elements for performers. Using a tick-tock from the
percussion section as a base, the main theme is
based on ascending and descending scale patterns
reinforced with a countermelody and contrasting
legato section. Each section is featured, and
generous cross cues will let bands experiment with
different instrumentation choices. An excellent pick
for early concert and contest experiences.

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.

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.

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
for a bright allegro section. The two styles collide

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!

The Conquest—Aaron McMichael. Utilizing
concepts that beginning band students need to
master, this composition about a young lion's
conquest of his territory is a great concert or
contest selection. Most instruments play within
a five- to eight-note range so that wind players
can experience success with a mature-sounding
composition. Several different percussion parts
are also written so you can substitute instruments
or players as needed. There are opportunities for
expression with simple dynamic changes and
shapings. Let your students conquer their first
concerts with this fun and accessible composition.

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.

This beautiful and lyrical folk song from the English Midlands dates back as early
